Contents Destroyed by
Fire in Reno Yesterday

A special dispatch from Reno states
that a fire which broke out about IL
o'clock yesterday morning, totally de-
stroyed Hymers' big livery stables,
the finest in the state.
Mr.. Hymers, il is stated. was Sc
riously injured while helping TO ex-
tiDguish the fire. and it is also rumor-
ed that one of the employees lost his
life The unfortunate mans name,
and verification of the rumor could
not be had.
The special was dated at D. m.
yesterday, and stated that the flames
had not been subdued. but as there
was little wind. fear was not felt that
the fire would spread.
After the alarm was turned in il
was nearly half an hour before the
fire department reached the stable and
got water on the fire. Mr. Hymers'
loss will be very heavy; it was stated
in Reno paper a few day sago that
he had refused 100000 for the busi-
SIS, and several horses, buggies, sets
of harness. etc. are known to have
been destroyed. The amount of in
surance carried by Mr.. Hymers is not
learned.
In regard to the origin of the fire
il is stated that the blaze started In
the hay loft from a match dropped by
a careless employe after lighting a
cigarette
The Journal gives no account OF
any one being seriously hurt, and this
part of the story is thought TO be in
correct. The loss of Mr.. Hymers is
given as more than S35 600. II We--
ner. a carriage painter. who occupied
part of the stables. suffered a loss of
ST00. No insurance was carried.

is said, but the meaning of Ki-Ku'

the leadies who are In the secret are
ready to make it known. There is d
delicious air of mystery about the
whole affair, which seads one to believe
that the dance which the ladies are
getting up under the name with an
Oriental sound will be a decided in
novation, and prove as pleasant in
every way as it is mysterious.
The dance is to be given in Armory
hall. and 1t is said the decorations
for the occasion will be novel and
very pretty. 1t is limited that the
parties who are getting up the
ri Ku' hop are all married ladies
and that they will endeavor to out
shine the young ladies who recently
scored such a success in their "Aut-
umn Dance. and il the words of Hum
boldt county's Celtic clerk, IF they
do that, they're daisies.

for the testimonial that the American

owned body and soul and breeches by
the railroad company.
Carson News, September %: 1t will
not be surprising to those Carson City
people who have attended meetings of
the state board of assessors, to learn
that the assessor of Humboldt county
is accused Of favoring the Central Pa
cific railroad 4he district attorney of
that county has addressed letter to
the board of county commissioners, in
which he shows up the assessor In
splendid style. 1t seems that the rail-
road company is the owner of about
one million acres of land in said coun-
lty; that over half thereof is patented.
The assessor has placed a valuation
on these railroad lands of only soc per
acre for patented lands and sc per acre
for unpatented lands, while other
counties assess similar lands at from
one to four hundred per cent higher.
Showing how the assessor betrays
! the people whose votes elected him
the district attorneys statement con-
tains the following:
Furthermore the assessment roll
| of Humboldt county shows that the
value of unimproved lands when as
sessed to individual or corporate own
ers, other than the Central Pacific
railroad company is as follows:
"Unpatented lands Csc per acre;
patented lands s1.25 per acre. In other
words, when unimproved lands. COM
monty known as contract lands, are
assessable to individual or other cor
porate owners, such lands are valued
L for the purpose of taxation from one
hundred to four hundred per cent high
err than similar lands are valued when
assessed to the said railroad company
Notwithstanding the fact, that the
owners of contract lands must pay to
the state interest at six per cent per
arnum on the unpaid purchase price
to secure or preserve their holdings
and one dollar per acre to obtain title
while the railroad company is free
from any such burden and its title alb
solute."
District Attorney Warren concludes
his letter with strong appeal fol
just valuations and against any furth.
er discrimination in favor OF the Cen
trail Pacific company.
Elko Independent, September 23:
The board of equalization of Hum
boldt county took a recess Monday un-
til October Sd without acting upon the
protest presented by the district at
torney alleging inequality and dis
crimination as shown in the assessment
OF railroad lands. The Silver State
says the protest was read and in
formally discussed, but no official ae-
tion was taken in regard to it. II
strikes the Independent that the stats
revenue board should take up this
matter and see that this board ol
equalization acts upon it at its next
meeting. 1t should make Assessor
Guthrie show if possible why the pat
ented land of the railroad company is
worth so cents an acre less this yeai
