Some d0ubiedyed miscreant at
tempted to burn down Aaron
Kuhn's warehouse in this city last
Friday night. A boy by the name
of Reed fortunately was passing by
just at the time, and seeing blaze
under the building crawled under
and sxtinguished the flames. Mr..
Seymour Manning, tho manager,
was absent in Colfax at the time,
and knew nothing of the attempted
arson till his return. This ware
hsuse contains about $4,000 bush
els of wheat. and had it taken fire
the Pacific Coast Elevator building
adjoining would have also been de-
stroyed, together with almost the
equal amount of grain it contains.
The depravity of such an act is
notch lower than that of the chap
who stole the gun clubs targets
several weeks ago.

I'm an interview with the Re-
view correspondent, DR.. s. B. Nell
son, state veterinary surgeon, is
quoted as saying that the legisla-
ture had failed to appropriate the
$500 asked for the travelling ex-
penses of his Office. It is a fact
that the original bill providing this
appropriation was indefinitely post
poned, yet a similar amount for
the same object was attached to
the general appropriation bill and
passed so that there will be no lack
of money in that department as was
feared.
A rumor was on the street last
Thursday that Fred Buhmann had
been killed in battle at Manila, and
the report was that telegram had
come to Mrs. B. Farr, who has q
son there, stating that a bloody
battle had just been fought, and
that Fred was killed. 1t is with
pleasure that we state that the
whole thing is canard. Mrs. Farr
herself states that she never re-
ceived any such message, and can.
not imagine how such a report get
started.
