LAKE VALLEY.

From our Special Correspondent.
A terrible holocaust burnt up large
part of this town on Saturday morn
ing June lat, which was undoubtedly
the work of incendiaTy. Between
three and four o'clock Cotton's saloon,
which was unoccupied, was set on fire
and the blaze was rapidly blown tothe
rest of the buildings to the southeast,
great blll0ws of flame lept across the
street and all the buildings of Keller,
Miller s. Co. took fire, and in short
time the fire swept out the blocks of
buildings on each side of the street
and burnt down as far as Major Nor
gans residence, giving that gentleman
barely time to escape with his life.
This destructive fire, it is charged, is the
work of a man Albert Alternately by
name who is now in Sierra county
Jail, and who barely escaped having a
neck-tie party given him by an out
ragged and righteouslY indignant COM
munity. It is but fairio say that the
proofs Of his guilt are slim up so this
writing, yet he has been charged with
attempting to fire other buildings on
other occasions. The fire viii be to-
tai loss to some, the pest Office was con-
sumed with everything therein, and
Keller, Miller s. Co.'S loss is about S15r
600 with an insurance of about $500.
1t is credit to the people here that
they held themselves in check and did
not reeE immediafevengeance upon the
