IL was a wooden building with a canvass roof. The superirtcnd- ent and MT. Wetherly and wife had gone to Phoenix for Thanksgiving and to take in the carnival and there were only two men on the premises. They lost all their clothing, provisions, dishes and cooking utensils, also a trunk full of books and clothing belonging to Mrs. Wetherly-and two guns. It is a rnys- tery how the building caught. The men were there at noon and ate their dinner and after that a man was there and loaded a load of wood ard saw no sign of fire. At 3 o'clock Mir. Clark was up to his shaft watering his horse and saw the fire and went to it, but there being no water handy he could save nothing. The fire was on the opposite side from the stove and it was but few minutes until the place was re- duced to ashes. The two men saved only what they had on-their working clothes.
