Last evening the residence of Mr.. 2.
Frank Little, at No. 9s Park street, in
the Park street block, was badly dam
aged by fire. When the blaze was first
discovered it was soon located and SUBJ
dued with only trifing loss. The fire.
men. leaving force to watch the house,
departed from tho scene only to be called
back twenty minutes later by another
alarm. The fire had broken out again and
this time in order to subdue it, the house
WAS badly wrecked inside and a grea
deal of water had to be used. The total
loss will probably figure up somewher g
in the neighborhood of $4,000 on the
houss and furniture. Anderson, Adams
& Go. have placed with their companies
$4,000 insurance on tho house and 81, 600
on the furniture. Dow & Pinkham
have $1,000 insurance on the furniture.
About 81 O'Clock as Mr.. Little was
sitting In his house reading he was
startled by smoke pouring out of the
register connecting with the furnace. He
ran to the cellar door but was almost
stifled by the thick smoke that poured
out as he opened it. Several of the neigh
bors by this time had noticed the smoke,
and they came in to see what they could
do to help Mr.. Little. That gentleman
ran to the No. engine house and a part
Of the crew came down with the wagon.
A line of hose was laid into the front
hall, and pony chemical also brought
In. But the men couldn't do anything
in the cellar stairway owing to the densi-
ty of the smoke. and the fire could not be
located until somebody got around in the
rear Of the house and found lively
blaze in the cellar which was bursting
through the rear window and climbing
up the rear wall OF the house. Then an
alarm was pulled in from box 68 but by
that time the fire had got good start,
and not only the Little house, but also
those of Mrs. Alvira Waterhouse on the
oneaside, and The Stuart ON the other,
were filed with smoke which was also
filing the street.
After the alarm had been pulled and
the department. arrived it didn't take
long to pat stop to the blaze.
The wood work In the cellar was badly
charred and only the liveliest kind of
work at that time prevented the destruc-
tion of the entire DWELLING.
This blaze having been extinguished
and the upper part of the house being
carefully inspected BYE chief engineer
Eldrfge with no signs of the fire having
reached above the first floor, the all out
signal WAS ordered to be sounded and
the department. sent home. Assistant
engineer Dugan was left in charge of the
house with two men and these with
Deputy Marshal Sterling and several po-
lice officers who vera guarding the prop.
erty wero the only persons present besides
Mr.. LITTLE his family and few sympa-
thetic friends who had gathered to view
the avoc wrought in such fsw min
utes.
The family were standing in the din
ming room on the first floor when sud
denly one of the ladies' discovered that a
fire was blazing IN the partition near the
ceiling. Mr.. Dugan's attention was
calico to this blaze and he realizing that
delay meant danger, with fire burning
briskly in the air space between the
walls ut once ran out and soundpd the

The bond Of Geo X. Riding, justice OF the
peace Of Panaca, was ordered approved
upon the sureties and principal signing the
said bond properly
Mark Matthews was appointed constable
Of Pansca township and bond required OF
him in the sum Of $1,000.
The tax for the year 1897 was placed at
the same figure as that of 1896, with an ad-
ditional tax Of 45 cents for the Interest
Fund This 45 cent tax was compulsory
and could not be avoided.
The sum of 500 was ordered transferred
from the General Fund to the Salary Fund.
The reports of the various officers were
approved for the month Of February
The bid Of Dr. Hager to look after the in
digcnts of DeLamar and furnish medicine
for the sum of S25 per month was accepted,
The bid of II. w. Miles to examine the
county books for the years ls9l.2.3.4-5.6,
and also the township books of DeLamar for
the sum Of 5000 was accepted.
! H. W. Miles, John Purtscher and Geo.
NJ. Richards were appointed by the Board to
look after and attend to the improvements
and repairs of the DeLamar road district in
all cases where such improvements did not

The tax levy for the year 1897 is 1915
for county, $685. for Delamar and 1896 for
county. This is higher that has been for
some years, but it was the lowest that it
could be put al. The reason of it being so
high is that it was compulsory to levy the
sum of As cents for an interest tax This
interest tax we have avoided for the past ten
years Although our rate seems high, still
ii is on par with the rest of the counties
Of the State; there are some counties that
are less and there are other that are higher

A telephone message was received this
morning stating that the Delamar company
had reconsidered its order Of shutting down
and ordered operation to begin at once.
We hope this is fact as the closing down
by this company is a serious loss to the
people and the country finances would suffer
to great extent.
Our representatives have been very ncgli.
gent in sending down bills that were OF in
terest to the county With the opening of
the session a few were received, but they
have failed to show up since, and all that we
can CLEAN is an item now and then from the
State papers that such and such a bill has
been introduced by our representatives.

effect Lincoln County, but it has been un.
able to do so for the reason stated above.

During Mr.. Callaghan's administra-
ton the annual budget for printing
and advertising amounted to $lS,SO0.
while that of the present administra-
ton amounts to less than $4,000, diff
ference of more than $1,000. This is
why some others want a change.
During the last four years of the
Callaghan administration the San An
tonic National bank received annually
from the city from $4,000 to $4,000 as
interest money for general fund and
sinking fund advances, while the
monthly balances of monies belonging
to the city and deposited with the SAID
bank were upwards of 100000. for
which the bank paid no interest The
city was simply borrowing its own
money and paying interest on same.
During the past two years no inter-
est was paid TO the said bank, and
naturally it wants a change.
