following a fire in the cabin they

the bed in the cabin. A few days
work on the street will serve to re

Chief Evans requests that all per

sed to Rev. Burns of Rochester, N.

The name of the state was plainly
written, yet so wide has our fame
spread and so intense is popular in
terest in anything that concerns our
burg, apparently, that on seeing the
name of Rochester on the wrapper,
this clerk could think of nothing
else than the big bonanza camp in
the humboldt range.
This is surely going some for a
town that little more than a month
