A BLAZE.
A Fire That May Have Proven
Very Disastrous.

y -eSS"SS4 SAAS'
The little frame building adj
joining the hotel Sisson took fire
in some mysterious manner last
Wednesday noon and was entirely
consumed almost before the
eChos of the fire bell had died
out. 1t was a hot fire for a little
while, but fortunately it did not
last long. The entire block in
which the fire occurred is COM
posed of frame buildings, and it
is a fortunate thing for the prop
erty owners that a rather strong
wind was blowing from the west.
The Sisson hotel, large frame
is located only a few feet on the
west from where the burning
building stood and had the slight
est breeze been blowing in that
direction it could not possibly
have escaped. Had this occurred
nothing short of a miracle could
have saved the remainder of the
block, and possibly the entire
business portion of the town. AS
it was it took the united efforts of
thirty five or forty men to save
the hotel building from taking
fire. Mr.. Greenland's residence
also narrowly escaped. The hose
was attached to the plug at Egles-
toms corner, but force enough
could not be secured to throw the
water to the second story window
of the hotel with any success.
The bucket brigade did the most
of the fighting and had the fight
been left 10 the Caldwell water
power system there is not much
doubt but that things would have
been much worse than they are.
The building was owned by a
Mr.. Allen of Salt Lake city. 1t
was occupied by Leo Bach and
Albert Saxton, two young men
working in town, who were run
ming bachelors hall there. The
bows lost all they owned in the
way of clothing, cooking uten-
sis, bedding, etc.

Conclude Their Scrap for
Spells and Adjourn.
THREE TICKETS IN THE FIELD.
Single Pie Was Not Sufficient and Three Wore
Made-'Twas Hot Gathering and Office
Is King Pops May sstte Their
Differences

The great quartette which was in
session at Boise the greater portion of
the past ten days is now thing of the
past. Their labors are finished, but
their works remain. The cravings of
the many have been realized and the
office seeker is happy. Democracy and
Silver Repubicanism have kissed and
made up and the poor little Pops have
taken up the sad refrain, "but we have
drifted apart" The "J3ig 4" started off
in blaze of glory but wound up in
dust anC ashes The Democrats and
Silver Republicans got up a welding
heat and by the liberal use of salt petre
and boraX succeeded in making a kind
of weak fusion. The time was too
short for the Pops to settle their in-
ternal strifes and they were left out in
the cold. The enemies of silver have
been given crushing blow and the
champion of the cause stands up in his
paper collier and in silvery tones pro-
claims, victory"
After four days of fighting and
swapping the Democrats and Silver Re-
publicans finally effected a fair divl-
sion, (from a Democratic standpoint)
and terms of fusion were agreed to.
Each faction was given the privilege of
drawing up its own platform and the
different nominees were instructed to
lean little the other way. Word was
sent to the POpulists that the pie was
ready to be cut and if they expected a
division they must get move onto
themselves. The Pops at once return
ed word to the convention to tell their
troubles to policemen, and the dish
ing out commenced. After a hot and
stormy session the combination made
up the following ticket:
SILVER REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
For Justice of the Supreme court
Isaac N. Sullivan, S r.
For GOVernor-Frank Steunenberg d
Foe Coagressman-Ed Wilson,

A week ago today party, con-
sisting of I. N. Paynter, Ellis
Askey, County Clerk Dunbar,
Chris Christensen and Louis
Schnabel went to the place where
Tom Paynter met his death, for
the purpose of looking over the
ground thoroughly and, if pos
sible, to settle in their own minds,
how young Paynter met his sad
ending. They returned to CaId-
well Monday night and TR1B-
UNE reporter interviewed all
whom it was possible to find. He
succeeded in having a talk with
all except Mr.. l. N. Paynter, and
those seen seem not at all con-
WINGED as to the direct cause.
They express the opinion that
there is a chance for both acct
dent and foul play, with about an
equal chance both ways. Some
are more inclined to the theory of
murder while others seem more
inclined to favor the accident
theory. Nothing more was de-
veloped other than is already
known. Since the accident hap
pened numerous people have
visited the scene and have made
impossible to form any further
ideas from the condition of the
ground. The accident or what
ever it may have heen, did moi
occur on Dry Buck as was at
first reported. County Clerk
Dunbar, who is well acquainted
with the whole country, informed
the TRIBUNE that ii was at leaSu
10 miles from that point, on
Squaw creek. Mr.. Schnabe
took some kodac views of the To-
cality and it would seem from
those views that the evidence Of
some of the witnesses who stated
that the locality was covered with
rocks, was more or less faulty. Il
is hard mystery to unravel, anc
if it is ever done, will probably be
accomplished by accidental causes

Fifth district-Democrats, ]. C.
Rich; silver Republicans, F. S.
DIETRICH; Blake Populists, Sample
Orr.
The foregoing is the list of the
nominations for district judges
made by the various conventions.
1t was expected the silver Re-
publicans and Democrats would
fuse on judge in all the districts,
but they have SO far combined in
this connection in only the first
and fourth districts. The trouble
seems to have been that the
Democratic conference committee
had no instructions to take action
on district nominations. The
central committees of each party
may take up the question and the
result may be fusion of the two
parties in these districts on the
judgeship, although it is expected
with the possible exception of the
second district, the nominations in
SO far as the fusing parties are
concerned will stand.
In the third district Democratic
convention there was first strong
feeling in favor of leaving the
place blank in the interest of Judge
Stewart the Republican nominee.
A motion to nominate was voted
down and it was then voted to
leave the matter to the state CEN
trail committee. 1t was SO report
ed to the convention, but during
a recess of the convention the
third district men were recon-
vened and they reconsidered their
action and nominated Mr.. Rice of
Caldwell. The silver Republi-

1t is stated though that there is a

congressman at least. Gum will be the
man, and should this develope it will
make a hard fight between the three

Or. r. s. Bulmer

OF whose disappearance mention was
made in the HERALD of yesterday has
not up to this tlme been heard from.
1t is highly probable that the doctor
has persisted, as he had not only reach
ed an age to unfit him for such On eX-
petition, but was a frequent sufferer
from a wound in tiicted In an attack by
a mountain lion, in the mountains of
Mexico.
DR.. Bulmer was man OF wide and
varied experience, having spent years
in Australia in the British service as
quarantine officer. He was graduate
of the University of medicine in Lon
don, also of an institute in Canada.
DR.. Bulmer was not only q man OF
very high literary attachments, as
evidenced by his connection as a cor
respondent with the Smithsonian Insti-
tute; but was sbnormally endowed with
self esteem. Yet, when he could be
torn away from egotism, difficult
matter, he was very entertain in g

A Valuable Keepsake to Any Texan

Mr.. Richard F. Burgess has come
into the possession of very valuable
keepsake. The article in question is d
Ten Dollar Bill of the Republic of
Texas.
The bill does not state whether it is
rede enable in gold or silver, but as 1t
is redeemable at the United States
Treasury gold could be demanded and
received. The payment of this note at
the Treasury of the United States Is
guaranteed by the right the state
acquired when it was admitted into
the union as the government assumed
all debts of the republic.
However. Mr.. Burgess is not think
ing of having the note redeemed as it
is worth something like thirty dollars,
and even at that value he could not be
persuaded to part with it.
The bill is engraved on good fibre
paper and has the appearance OF con-
federate bill, but is even on better
stock than they were.
On the face of the bill is the de
nomination in two or three places and
the wording of the payable part is in
the form of promissOry note. The
signatures it bears are those of Mira
/ beau B. Lamar. the second president
of the republic, and Jas. Starr secre-
/ tary of the treasury. There are also
two pictures. one of Grecian god
and the other is of full rugged ship
flying the Texas flag.
This bill is one of about three which
/ are in circulation and Mr.. Burgess says
that he Will put it away with his col
lections of the relics of the once

May Be Retained.

To those who have watched the ups
and downs of the Iss Immune regiment
at Galveston. of which the Ell Paso
company is the fsvorite the following
clipping will be of interest.
1T is learned today that there is still
a possibility that the Galveston regi
ment will see service in Cuba. Gen
erals Wade and Butler of the Cuban
evacuation commission, now in Havana,
have written to the war department
recommending the service of the Gal
weston regiment, because so many OF
the volunteers speak Spanish.
Meanwhile there has been no Off
cial indication of a change in the mus
tering out program. The furlouehs of
the soldiers will expire next Sunday
night at II o'clock. They will returr
to Galveston on Saturdays and Sun
days trains. Colonel Richie will be
back from Washington by that time
Galveston Tribune.
This clipping shows that Captain
Hart has strong influence with the
mem bers of the comm ission with whom
he is detailed, and that influence may
be the turning point in the fate OF the
regiment.

Compliment to Col. Mabry of the
LIST Texas.

AS you will always find them, the
Texas soldiers are among the best in
the service. The First Texas Infantry
regiment is composed of the flower of
the Texas volunteer guards that were.
When the call to arms was sounded the
entire regiment responded nearly as a
man, and for their efficiency they
have been told that they would be re-
tanned in the service of the United
States. There is no doubt but what
they would have seen active service
around Santiago, if the legislature of
the state had not refused to make an
appropriation for them to purchase
new guns and other equipments.
The following com plimentsry clip
ping is taken from the st. Louis Globe
Democrat of Oct 18th:
Zone of the most popular officers in
the 7th Corps is Col. Mabry of the LIST
Texas. He is temporarily in charge
of the 1st Brigade of the lst Division,
during the absence of Gen. Wheaton.
Col. Mabry is very popular with the
rank and file OF his regiment. He is
supported by experienced military
men, who have kept the 1st Texas
constantly in the fret rank from a mil
itary stand point"

A Kick From Fort Bliss.
FORT BLISS, Texas

rOhT bliss, IeAhS
Ell PASo HERALD:
1 request you to give publication to
the fact that the company stationed
here has received no pay for the
months of August or September. If
there is anything which makes man
feel dissatisfied with his position, it is
not getting paid for his work when it
is completed. A soldiers pay is little
enough, and Uncle Sam need not keep
1t in his Golfers q few months after it is
due to help pay off something which Is
not so urgent as the enlisted mans
debts. Nature is lurking beneath the
blue and the demands for an occasional
dollar are as strong with the soldier as
with the civilian. 1t would appear
that the only department OF the army
which requires an application of mod
ern methods, aud an assailment by the
yellow journals, is about TO pass on its
old, time-worm path, and to remain I'M
criticised or uninvestigated. 1 refer
to the pay department which, next to
an Ell Paso street car mule, is the slow
est thing on earth. There should be 8
strong protest made to the authorities
at Washington on the apparent laziness
of some of the paymasters of the army
who are enjoying large salaries on &C
count of a prestige dependent on pnlit-
ical associations or repntism. Res
pectfully. No DOLLAR BILL.
