Fire in Murphy Bros.
Stables In Stockton

We clip the following from Stock
ton paper relating to the close call of
the Hunter street stables from total
loss by fire on Saturday last. The
stables are run by the Murphy
brothers of Butte mountain this
county, who bought the business
about year ago:
Indications we're at late hour that
fire which started at II 80 O'Clock
last night in the hay loft of the
Hunter street stables, located on
Hunter street between Market and
Washington streets and conducted
by the Murphy brothers, would
shoulder, as hay fires usually do,
for perhaps half day or more.
The entire fire department responded
to the alarm and soon found that
it had a stubborn fire to control and
subdue. The hay loft contained
about rs tons of hay in one stack in
the rear of the stables. by reason of
the close quarters aud the lack of air
in the loft the fremen found great
difficulty in reaching the shoulder
ing blaze. The instant j. Wolf,
manager of the stables in the absence
of the Murphy brothers, one of whom
is ill, and the other visiting in the
mountains, lear that there was a
fire in the loft he ordered the men IN
his charge to empty the stables of all
valuable property. In consequ ence
60 head of hurses were turned loose
into the streets. The frightened
animals dashed through the streets
in all directions. the majority of
them striking off for the residential
sections. Thirteen horses were tied
up on Hunter square, but the remain
ing 81 are. wandering about in the
outskirts of the city. Seventy carri-
ages, delivery wagons and carts,
many of them entirely new, we're re-
moved from the stable just as soon
as the horses we're turned loose. la
other words, the loss will be confined
to the hay and the building. The
hay is valued at $500, but the damage
to the building could not be esti-
mated last night. 1t is said that the
loss will be covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Patrol Driver Mcintosh, who has
quarters in the stable, answered Il
all about three minutes before the
alarm was turned ill.,. lndepend ent.

81 Crows Killed by the Hear.

In speaking of the recent hot spell,
Vosco Matson related an occurrence
of some years ago, which he had
witnessed while working in a harvest
field near Lodi. He said it was an
usually hot summer, but on this
particular day it was a scorcher.
For several days the men had been
troubled by large flock of crows
flying around them while at work; on
this particular day however, not
crow was to be seen. About 10
O'Clock the men stopped work in
order to rest and he walked over to
an oak tree in the field; when he
arrived there he was greatly surprised
to find all the crows sitting under the
tree in shade. in circle. He threw
a stone at them, but not bird
moved. lie then walked under the
tree and found that they we're all
dead, the heat having killed them.
lie also fonna that they were sitting
so closely together that they held
each other up. He then proceed cd to
count them aud found that there we're
SIT crows in the circle. In fact it
proved to lie every crow in that sec
ton. as none were anywhere around
there during the remainder of this
summer. Angels Record.

important Question of
Forest Law In Maine

In holding that the legislature has
constitutional right to pass laws
regulating the cutting of timber on
private lands, IL the cutting is liable
to be detrimental to the public vel
fare, the judges of the Maine supreme
court handed down an opinion of
great Importance to the owners of
fol est land in that state, and of
interest to land owners in all parts of
the country.
The opinion refers particularly TO
the cutting of small timber which
should be lett growing to give a forest
cover which will conserve the water
and lessen food ravages and prevent
or diminish soil erosion and conse-
quent filling up of the rivers and
lakes. The judges specifically state
that regulations of that kind cam OF
be construed as the taking of private
property for public use, and that the
state need not pay for young growth
which it may forbid the owner to cut.
This was not a court decision, for
no case was before the court for re-
view, but was formal opinion pre-
pared ut the request of the senate for
the guidance of the Legislature in the
enactment of laws to regulate forests
and protect the interests of the
public. Similar questions have come
up in other states and may be ex-
pected to come up in the future
In the proposition which the Maine
senate submitted 10 the judges for
their opinion it was stipulated that q
law should not be enacted which
would interfere with clearing land
for agricultural, mining or manu-
featuring purposes, or for building
sites, or pleasure grounds. The pur-
pose is to forbid the total stripping of
forest land where a forest cover is
necessary to prevent the wash of the
soil, the lesseninG of flood ravages.
and the mitigation of drought, and
where the public good requires that
such cover be preserved.
In submitting their opinion the
judges cited numerous examples of

1t is one Of the few states probably
the only state whose forests are
nearly holding their own. Lumber

land and leaving it defenseless against

leave enough small timber and brush

ORIGIN OF SLANG.

about four; i've kept him busy, but
not enough to strain his nerves or his

ventured upon seven, says New

Plain Dealer. Down they came on
the stage with a CHATTER.
"You can't blame him, remarked a
deeply excited old woman. "Two

When The isles lay prone upon

over to tackle and hung a plaGard

word:
"SkiGoo!''
Again he essayed the seven, with
the same result. Again be walked
