A Scoundfel's Work

Within the pass few days a portion Of
the tlume running from Hobart creek
to Lake View Mas set on fire about tive
miles back of NcENe ems and five sec
ions OF the fiumle destroyed.
1t was unQuestionably the work of lin
cendiaries. The ere was set just this side
a deep cut where the wind from the west
generally blows with great force. The
intention was e~videntally to destroy
enough Of the fume to prevent its recon
structiOn.
The tiume originally belonged to the
Virginia and Gold Hill Water Co. but
when abandoned AS a wood tiume was
purchased by the editor of the APPEAL
in order to bring water to his ranch.
Last summer the feeder at Hobart creek
which turned water into the fiume was
cut and in order to secure water the
present owner built a new tiune to take
water from the Marlette Lake water
t1ume that all legal complications Owe
the water at the dam could be avoided 10y
using water purchased from the Water
Company. Last TALL the fume was cut
in two places bat repaired this spring
and now a portion of the tlume has beer
deliberately burned.
The editor of the APPEAL will pay SlO(
convictioatof the parties who burned tn,
fume and, have mOlested the feeder o.

Ih"ritie~ and repurted this remark a.

the amount and compelled him that
night to protect the account with a mort
gage on his property in Carson.

cial agency Of run Il Co. II that day

given him the goods without any cash
payment. Letters were exhibited in evi.
dence to show that various firms refused
him credit on the grounds alleged and
that he had been forced out Of business

THE BRIGGS HOUSE FIRE.
The Kitchen and Dining Room
Suffer Severe Loss.

Yesterday morning about $3.50 the
quests OF the Briggs House We're awak-
ened by T dense smoke in the upper
floors.
An alarm of fire was given and inside
of five minute the upper floor was
filled with people s~currying about the
halls in a wild rush to get out. There
We're numbers of ladies with nothing On
but their night clothes and a good many
frightened men in the same fix.
The rear of the hotel was a mass of
flames which enveloped the kitchen and
.the adjoining rooms and in places had
burned holes through the upper floor
through which smoke was rushing in
large volumes.
Gilbert Briggs, the proprietor attempt
ed to fight the flames with a fire eXtin-
qui>her but they were under too much
Roadway and an alarm was sounded.
The fire companies were promptly "l,
hand and did rapid and effective work
The water supply was quite adequate
to the demand. The policy Of the Water
Company in turning all the mains of eN-
cept those on Carson street, resulted i'll q
strong head of water and the tiremeu had
all they needed to work with.
The Curry steamer ror some cause die
not work. but the water III the hydrant>
was quite sufficient and played with ex
ira force.
The fire was under control in about
half an hour. The origin Of the blaze
was in the room near the kitchen wher
the bread and pastry i mixed: and how
it started is a mystery. Mr.. Briggs, tn,
proprietor, made the rounds of the hous
at quarter past twelve and found every
thing about the place quiet and the door
locked.
The kitchen and all the adjoinin;
rooms were burned cut and part of TIL
dining room. The loss is estimated a
$500 or $500.
Mr.. Briggs put carpenters to work Ees
terday and expects to have the dinini
room running today.
