for years a resident of this town,
deprives thiscommunity ola valued
citizen. He was the trusted en-
ployee Of the Southern Pacific
Railroad, having charge of this
section, which has always been
kept, through his careful attention
to details, IN most perfect condi.
ton. He was generally respected
among all who knew him. As a

fire sounded, caused by an incipient
blaze back of Adler's store, Main |
street, in the string of old frame
buildings that are the citys eye
sore. Fortunately or unfortunately,

hand, the fire extinguished before
any Roadway was attained by the
flames. Mr.. Adler's stock and
Mr.. Haas's Office were pretty well
saturated with water, which will
be almost as bad in its results to
them as a Are, as the loss was con-
siderable from this cause.
