astrous fire swept over Oak Hill. n
suburb OF Manistee. yesterday, de-

in a grocery store. and famed by a
heavy south wind, the flames soon got
beyond control OF the local fire de-
partment. and spread rapidly TO neigh.
boring dwellings. Manistee was APP
pealed to for help.
All OF the houses destroyed were
residences of Polish families and very
little OF the loss. $4,000. is covered
by insurance.
Fourteen months ago similar con
fiagration swept over Oak Hill and
wiped out 20 homes. Andrew Cos

Wonderfu! Is Gold Circle

Sheriff Sweeney is evidently aspiring
to the presidency of the Ananias Club
judging from little incident that took
place a few evenings since in one, of the
saloons on Main street. He was extOll-
ing the greatness and richness of the
new camp of Gold Circle in Elko county,
in which district he is owner I'm num-
Der of claims. His listeners seemed to be
quite interested in what he was 1adling
out to them regarding that section, but
one Of his hearers, a young man from the
country, was particularly attentive to
all he said. &I.
After the sheriff had concluded his
praises about the mineral wealth of Gold
Circle, he branched off regarding it's
stock raising qualities, and stated that
they raised mules there as large as ele-
plants. =:
The young man referred to above, who
prides himself on being very good fish
erman and has caught some pretty good
sized members of the fnny tribe, asked
him about the fishing there and how big
was the fish usually caught.
We'll" said Sweeney, II guess it is
the most wonderful fishing grounds in
the world. You don't need any bait at
all; you just cast the bare hook and line
in the stream and you can catch mess
of trout in short order"
But" persisted the now very inter-
ested young man, chow large are they?"
About as big as a horse" said Swee-
ney. That capped the climax. The
young man beat hasty exit from the
saloon, and as he has not been seen
around town since it is believed that he
has returned to his country home no
doubt fully convinced that Gold Circle
is wonder sure.--Eureka Sentinel.

TUELDAY, APRIL 81, 1908
BREAK UP The FENCES

Since the first of January Elko c0un-
tvs contribution to Warden Days fam
ilya the penitentiary has been thirteen.
A large number of these plead guilty
to robbing box cars. This class of thieves
have been encouraged by. the little
trouble they have had in disposing of
stolen property. People buy all sorts of
merchandise of tranps, who they must
know did not come honestly into the
possession of it. If there was no market
for stolen merchandise, there would be
fewer box car robberies.
This is sometimes done by innocent
people, but in Il good many instances
those who buy the stolen property do so
because they get Il bargain. If they are
caught with the stolen property, some
of them lie to the officer, whose duty it
it is to hunt down crime, and think they
have done a very bright act. A case of
this kind is mentioned in the report of
the grand jury, found elsewhere in this
issue.
1t is u notorious fact that fences for
the disposal of stolen property have
done Il thriving business in this county.
Some of these fences have been broken
mp, but others are, supposed to he still
doing business. The suspected places
should be closely watched by the officers
and if sufficient evidence can be pro-
cured the men who conduct them should
he arrested aud the fences broken ND.
The man who buys stolen property,
knowing it to have been stolen, is
placed by the law OH the same plane as
the thief
The peace officers of this county
should follow the recommendation of
the grand jury and arrest every person
who buys stolen property and then lies
about having it. All such people should
be charged with crime and if con-
victcd should he severely punished If
this course is followed by the officers,
elk" c"unyt's colony ut the pen may
he larger, but there will he less stealing
from box cars, stores aud other places.
