Roadway that nothing could be saved,
and house snd contents were total loss,
There was an insurance of $500 on the
house, but nothing on the furniture.

From the Commoner, 28th ult.
A warrant for the arrest of A. G. Voor
HES, farmer living near Garfield, on a
charge of cattle stealing was issued from
Justice of the Peace Zimmerman's court
on Wednesday evening. Friends Of Mr.,
VOORHEES, in this city declare the whole
matter to be due to mistaken identity of
the beast alleged to have been stolen.
1t appears that Joseph Unger, farmer
living between Colfax and Palouse
missed roam COW on Sunday last, and
despite the fact that re searched for
miles around, he failed to discover the
animal. On Wednesday Unger came to
Colfax and learned that William Lawson
of the City meat market, had purchased
an animal on Monday last that resem-
bled the beast that was missing. The
bovine was slaughtered Wednesday
morning, and Unger was shown the hide
and declared that it was that of the
missing COW. The head of the slaugh-
tered beast, he said, tailed with that of
the one he was looking for. Upger's
COW was branded "45" on one hip. and
he declares that he can trace that brand
on the hide. Others who inspected the
hide are not certain as to the brand. Mr..
