WAS NOT

A careful investigation of last nights
fire in the cabins at the rear CT the Lead
Vile house banishes the report that the
fire was of incendiary origin. Three men
and all more or less intoxicated, occupied
the Power, or Morris, cabin during the
late afternoon and early morning. One
of them undoubtedly and very carelessly
dropped a lighted match, which set the
place on fire after the tenant went down
town. This cabin was not burned, only
Quilted. The mex cabin west was unoc-
cupied, the Settles having moved four
cabins north late in the afternoon. With
due credit to the fire department for eff
cient work at all times. the fire last night
which burned the interior of cabin No. l.,
formerly occupied by Settles (colored),
came from cabin No. 2, occupied by
James Turner (colored), who was at
work. and all his belongings We're burned
up. The fire in the Turner cabin came
from Powers cabin. which adjoins it on
the back. a few embers having remained
unquenched when the department went
away. The department was recalled be-
fore they reached the fire house. Tur-
ner's cabin was locked and the fire had
crept in through a crack in the wall near
the caves of the roof

and came up the second time with word
that Mrs. O'Bannon said she vas sick.
She was in bed, clothed in her. night
robes, and would not come until she Was
we'll or better. The county physician
was out of town, so the case was deferred
until his return.
During the time Judge Kennedy was
waiting for Mrs. O'Bannon a man named
Duffy. a painter and a professed pugilist.
entered and asked to have a warrant
sworn u for j. Downey, a brother
craftsman. for alleged assault Duffy re-
lated his tale of woe, which in part was
that on last Saturday he was ordered out
of Downey's paint shop on Main street.
He was there again last Sunday when
Downey drew a cane and was going to
strike him. but did not. The cour could
not agree with Duffy and refused to issue
a warrant. This displeased the applicant
for Justice. who proceeded to tell the
court hat he was a pugilist, and if he
arrest some one was going to get licked,
and it would in all probability be
DoWney.
Stop right there" said Judge Ken
needy. Don't come around here making
any of your threats. for remember the
law will strike the last blow and you will
not be overlooked!'
Duffy Gained down and offered the
judge a cigar, which was refused. He
then wanted Downey arrested for petty
larceny, and this was also refused.
Duffy persisted. but the judge said no
and ordered him away. On the outside
Duffy inquired for the prosecuting attor-
ney and left in the direction of his office.
