full Of smoke it was difficult TO tell the
extent of the disater. The central part
of the town. however. was wrecked. A

to check the flames.
There was no medical assistance at
that time. one of the local doctors having

large numbers Of country visitors for the
circus and Mr.. Gavin says there must
have been from $500 to 5000 people in

WE'RE TOO TARDY.
Attorneys Neglect Too Long to File
q Statement.

Judge Johnson yesterday rendered
decision in the case of Reclamation
District No. 500 against Rebecca This
by. 1t states that the case was tried
in February, 1897, and decided for
plaintiff and against defendant. In due
time defendant gave notice of intention
to move for a new trial. but the matter
dragged along till October, 1898, with
out amy settlement of statement on the
motion, and other attorneys were sub
stituted on both sides. In October.
1898, counsel for plaintiff moved to dis
miss the proceedings on motion for
new trial on ground of want Of dill
gence in defendant in prosecuting said
proceedings.
The motion came up on November
18th for hearing. and the application
of plaintiff was dismissed, and a new
motion was made on December 9TH.
1t was stated in court on November
18th that defendants counsel had the
proposed statement in court, with the
proposed amendments, and would de-
liver it to the court, but he carried
them away with him and did not de-
liver them to the Judge for sixty days
after, nearly two years having elapsed
since giving notice Of intention.
Plaintiff has moved the court to dis
miss for want of prosecution, and the
court, after reciting all the circum-
stances grants the motion.
a similar decision has been rendered
in the case of the same plaintiff against
Rebecca Thisby and others

SAD ACCIDENT.
The Gazing of a Well in Nevada
Nav Cost Three Lives.

About o'clock yesterday morning
while J. B. Downey, r. A Fairburn and
NJ. Francisco We're making repairs at
the bottom Of a well at Clark's Station,
between Wadsworth and Reno, New,
the timbers gave away near the top,
and a great cave of gravel fell in from
near the top completely burying the
men.
superintendent J. B. Wright imme-
diately ordered gangs of workmen from,
Wadsworth and Reno to attempt the
rescue of the unfortunates The we'll
was piped to the bottom, and it was
believed that unless the men had been
crushed to death by the falling timber
and gravel they would not be suffocat-
ed. 1t was feared, however, that the
water would rise so rapidly that the
men, if not killed by the cavern would
be drowned
r. A Fairburn, one of the unfortu-
mates, lived with his wife at Oak Park,
near this city. Last night it was an
nounced that there had been another
cave that stopped the workmen when
they had succeeded in reaching within
seven feet of the imprisoned men, and
that the water was rising. SO that there
was but little hope of saving them.
