ANOTHER FIRE.

About o'clock Monday morning tho
alarm of fire again aroused the peaceful
people OF Willisten to realization that
some terrible catastrophe was threaten
ing the safety of the business portion OF
the city. An investigation revealed to
them al outburst Of flames from the
rear of the "Curley" Patterson barber
shop, the furniture Of which was
recently purchased by Prof. Gordon.
The continuous sounding Of tho steam
whistle at the roundhouse and the
ringing OF the church bell soon brought
several hundred people 10 the scene Of
tho CONFEDERATION, but the absence Of
water rendered thoss present powerless
to check the rapidly increasing flames.
From the barber shop the fire spread
on either side. tapping up the building
on the corner occupied BY Mrs. Sally
Luster - restaurant on the
north. and Doug. Bells building on the
south. From these the adjoining buildings
owned by G.. w. Jones; and another
small building adjoining the Arlington
hotel, owned by Jos. LanRford, were
soon in flames. and in spite Of al efforts
on part Of the heroic citizens, oil
these structures we're razed to the
ground. Agent Benton. Of the g. N. R.
r., had the water wagons dlied from
the tank near the depot. and from these
water was freely used, the effect OF
which was only to prevent the fire from
breaking into the Arlington. The total
loss of the buildings and contents, ie
estimated At about $4,000. with only
about 81. 800 Of insurance. But very
little Of the contents Of the buildings
was saved. II 10 claimed that the Ore
originated in tho back part OF the old
shooting gallery in the rear of the Pat.
terson building. in which no fire bad
been. nor which had been used fol-
weeks. From all the circumstances, il
is surmissd that the fire was the worl
OF IN incendiary. and this surmise il
strengthened by the fact that the NJ. e
church was burned through the fendish
desire Of some misorsant to avenge az
imaginary wrong. But the motive il
setting tho FIRE which occurred Monday
| morning, 10 mystery which IL hard It

Shooting ARRAY.

About noon last Monday, while Capt.
Bailey, Of the steam ferry. was eating
his dinner al the Chinese restaurant in
this city, Robert Browning. . young
man who lived in Williston for . num-
Der Of years. entered the vastausant and
without warning assaulted the captain
with large revolver, striking him over
the head and firing one or two shots ut
his victim. One ball erased the top Of
Capt. BAiley's head, causing an ugly,
but not dangerous scalp wound. Brown
ing struck the captain several vicious
blows. cutting eeve raj had castles in the
captains head. Capt. Bailey. though
surprised and stunned by the assault.
however recovered himself, and SOM
oyerpovered his assailant. While the
",crsp" was going on the restaurant
WAS deserted by all it's inmates, some Of
whom notified Chief Of Police Markell.
Mr.. Markell went in and arrested
Browning. and while taking him up
tho street, the prisoner broke and run.
The oficerer commanded him to halt,
which Was not complied with. where
upon Mr.. Markell fred two or three
shots.oyer tho head Of the fleeing cul-
prit, in hopes Of checking him. but
failing in this, the officer aimed one
shot direct for the legs. which, Tor
tunately or unfortunately. took effect,
tho bullet passing through ono thigh
and lodging in the other. John Hef-
fernan's dray was called into service.
and conveyed the wounded mau to DR..
Eochterman's Office, whore tho in
iured man was attended to. Although
Browning'. condition 10 not Dangerous
his wound 10 quite painful. and 1t il
probable that several days will elsrse
before Browniug's bearing will be had,
The affair 10 one much to be deplored
and however much he regrets the
result, officer Markell says no felt it his
duty to use all lawful means to prevent
bis prisoner . escape.
Capt. Bailey il man who usually
attends to his bueiness. never inter
ferrine with others. and knows Of nc
valid cause for which Browning made
the cowardly assault. The captain''
