| A Mexican was arrested last Fri
day, accused of the crime of arson
in the burning of a shack belong
ing to Cruz Sosa, Mexican wo-
man. The name of the accused is
Cruz Valencia, who after hearing
before Justice Sparks, last Satur-
day, was held to answer the action
of the grand jury.
], Just as we went to press last
week, the alarm of fire was given,
the cause of which was the acci-
dental burning of large amount
of trash that had accumulated just
back of the lumber yard and only
few feet from it. Had it not
been for prompt action upon the
part of the crowd that soon gath
cred the consequences to the lum-
! Der yard might have been serious.
One of the sensible rules of the

S Id.,for Indiana; o. for either Ohio,
s Oregon or Oklahoma: 10. for Idaho,
etc.
