A Destructive Fire.

About 3 O'Clock this morning the
barn in the rear of the home of S.
Robert Fair, at No. 221 North Excel
sior avenu was burned, a valuable
horse perishing in the fire. For a
time it looked as though the residence
would be destroyed also, but vigor-
Gus work on the part of the firemen
saved that building.
One of Mr.. Fairs children, awak-
ened by the frantic efforts of the ami
NAL for liberty, discovered the fire.
The child informed it's father of the
fire and Mr.. Fair telephoned an alarm
to the fire department. Then he at
tempted to enter the barn to save the
horse. The flames drove him back,
and until the arrival of the depart
ment he directed his efforts towards
saving the residence, keeping a small
hose playing on the exposed side of
the building.
1t required an hours work on the
part of the department to get the
flames under control, the barn and
most of it's contents being destroyed.
Mr.. Fair has 40 idea of the origin of
the fire. The barn was not insured
and his loss, including the horse and
a new $500 buggy will foo up about
$4,000. The residence was damaged to
the extent of about $3.50, but this is
covered by Insurance..

THREE NEW POKER STORIES.
THE GENERAL AND THE MAJOR.

They sat on the porch of the Osborne
house at Sheepshead bay and talked
poker until Tommy Osborne was moved

about which so many intensely interest

Of C0pp,r-One Man S

| The junk shop evil has grown to such
great proportions that he police are un-
able to check it and it is not unlikely
that the city council will consider legisla-
ton tending to at least restrict the BUSH
ness to legitimate channels, in the near
future.
| Judge Sullivan is in favor of closing up
all junk shops in the city. He expressed
himself emphatically on the subject to
an Inter Mountain reporter thism morning.
"Of course said he, there are UNI
doubleday men engaged in the business
who are honest and who endeavor to live
up to the honorable methods of trade,
but a few months in this Office has on
vinced me that a majority of the junk
buyers are far from honest, and encour-
age thievery among boys n youths
whose judgment in such matters is not
nature and who have not arrived at
years Of discretion. 1t is easy to lead
astray a boy, who has in him the ele-
ments of good manhood, and the meth

how thew became possessed of it. and
the public would be surprised if it knew
how much of this kind of thievery is be-
ing done. The loss to owners reaches into
the thousands annually.
only a few days ago a case illustrat-
ing what these petty thefts sometimes
cost was called to my attention. A leaser.
who is operating near the Silver King,
had to go to the Cooke City district to
rpnraCnnf Snr1 pnjJinp claims fine
electric motor. which cost him about 5000
furnished the power for his hoist. When
he went away he locked up his shaft
house, and on his return found that some
copper vandals had broken into the shaft
house, and despoiled the motor for what
little copper they could get. The thieves
probably realized a very trihing sum for
the copper. and the motor was ruined.
Such instances are frequently called to
the attention of the police department.
But in my judgment the worst feature .
of the evil is not the loss to the owners,
but the encouragement of boys of tender
years to steal.
THE police are vigilant in their efforts
to suppress this wholesale thievery. Their
efforts are supplemented by the work of
detectives, and occasionally an arrest !
is made, but the traffic goes on and men
are making money because of it. 1t is
hard to fix the guilt of the real offenders
men who have the stolen stuff, and
hope the council win find a way to sup
press the trade"

erner, lin which an Englishman and
Senate Sharon figured. 1t is a story il
illustrative of luck. Banker Ralston sat
in the game. The betting before the draw
was heavy. All fell out but the banker
and Baldwin. The latter sized his oppo-
nent up for three aces and was almost
convinced that the banker had him beat
en-. Baldwin hesitated whether he should
take two cards or one card. He finally
drew one, and had gone in with three
queens. Ralston had three aces. as the
FORMER had supposed. Baldwin took up
MS hand after the draw and skinned the
cards in an anxiety that he had never
1elt before. He had drawn the queen of
spades, a WOlman's face that had never
looked so sweet in all the course of his
HE, as he characterized it. There was
W., ooo in the pot. Ralston had drawn a
pair OF jacks. making an ace full. His
race betrayed his luck. Baldwin medi-
tated, hesitated. coughed and squeezed
ms cards from time to time. 1t was a crit
zeal moment. There was a big stake. He
knew he had the banker beaten. h
other members about the table watched
every movement of the two players with
intense interest. After a thought, Rails
ton threw in a chip-$10. It was a small
bet. Baldwin then n~ervously bet $50. 900.
Ralston at first started to raise the bet
as much more, but hesitated and finally
called the 10000. 1t was Baldwin's four
queens to Ralston's ace full. Baldwin
says that was the luckiest draw he ever
made. and it was a one-card draw at
that"
