FIRE DESTROYS
 SMALL ABBATO|R

Fire, starting presumably from smouldering heap of trash. early yesterday morning burned to the ground a small frame building on J. F. Newcombs' ranch near Birch hill. The loss is placed at a figure between $35O and $5OO. This in cludes the building and a quantity of hides, which was bruned up with it. Mir. Litsey, of the White Mar ket, was using the building temper arily as slaughter house: and since his employees had gathered mass of bones, hoofs and other refuse and set fire to it on Saturday evening, there being no other explanation of the blaze, the burden of the loss falls upon him, as the offal fire was but a short distance from the building There were no eye-wit- nesses to the fire at it's start at 6 a. m. The fire department was not called as there is no water supply so far out
