here mention must be made OF the enter
prise Of Chuckwala Charley that endeared
his emporium 10 the populace.
When C~huckwala put up the Vault he
painted a sign and hung u behind the bar.
Free Wash With Every Drink" the sign
read. And Chuckwsla stuck by his con-
tract
After YOU had bough; your two fingers Of
squirrel whiskey and paid extra for a water
chaser, IL you felt you could afford u, all
YOU had to do was 20 &c out back Of the
saloon. and there a China boy would pour
out about three inches Of real water in a
~washbasin and YOU could loosen the surface
crust ON your face The wits in town
called this a homeopathic bath. Chuck
wala's hompopathics made an instant hit
with the citizens, and the custom ~ aking

Now il happened that several days <
Bill Haskins, who drives the water cart from
Ash Creek TO Greenwater every day and
thus supplies the town with the fluid, sat
down on a tarantula out on the desert road
and thereby suffered some pain and con-
siderable Inconvenience. He could not
sit on the seat Of the water cart for a week,

and dentist, and since all the other avail

wouldn't take the desert road for 500 an
hour the committee ON water works OF the
town board had to hire a Chinaman to take
Bill Haskins's place temporarily
The Chinaman was all right the first two
DAYS and kept the water supply from Ash
Creek pretty well up to the high level.
But day before yesterday. Just he av Of
the fire, the Chinaman didn't come back TO
town with the watercart.
The citizens don't know vet what has
happened to him and to-day an expedition
went out to find the cart, which is too va hn-
able a piece Of tow furniture to lose. They
may find the Chinaman also.
II was Just when the town was thus en-
barassed by q meagre water supply that

cigar stub. The flames were discovered
about 8 O'Clock last night Just when the
citizens were congregating for their after
dinner drink.

over in the corner near the faro tables.
II was about q foot high Int there was
little smoke.
BOYS" said C~huckwala, -all who have
not vet drunk their water chasers please
throw them IN the fire and I will consider
the same a favor. Don't throw any whiskey:
it's such high proof that IL will burn like
coal OIL"
Three Of the bows were saving their
chasers to enjoy with their smoke and they
promptly went over and dropped them on
the fire. Chuckwala himself came from
behind the bar with half n pitcherful Of
waterfall he had left because OF the drought
and spread h contents carefully on the
blaze.
Some hunted for sacks to beat out the
fire and some tried 10 stamp IL out. But
wood which has been in Death Valley for
a year burns like paper m the flames

adjacent corners.
