Fire Destoys One of the Old
Landmarks of Virginia City

Through fire which broke out
early this morning, the International
hotel, one of the old landmarks CT
Virginia City, was completely de-
stroyed. From information at hand,
it being impossible to get in tele-
phonic communication with Virginia
because of several breaks in the wires,
it is learned that the fire was first
discovered in the restaurant connect
ew with the hotel and it soon gained
such headway that all efforts to ex-
tingulsh it were unavailing. From
the restaurant it communicated to the
stairways and elevator shaft of the
hotel and soon all the upper stories
were in flames
All of the guests and many OF The
employees were in bed at the time.

History of Bars Crime

The killing of Deputy Sheriff Lar
kin by Barr occurred at the Kings
river ranch, in the extreme northern
part OF the county, on the afternoon
o. December 5, 1908. Larkin had ar
rived at the ranch only short time
before. He was on his way to a
ranch further north to serve some
papers on some sheepmen in a Grim
inal case, being accompanied by John
Saval, a well-known sheepman. After
taking dinner, Larkin and Lloyd Nc
Reynolds, the ranch foreman, started
to harness the travellers team. AS
they passed an outbuilding Barr step
ped out and shot Larkin two or three
times with a rife, killing him instan;-
ly. Larkin is supposed to have fired
one shot, but it went wild.
Barr made his escape from the
ranch on horseback and was not
heard from for months When locat-
ed he was serving a sentence in the
Colorado penitentiary, under the name
OF {. c. Collins. for robbery.
Early last spring the Colorado
authorities gave notice that Barr was
about to be paroled and he was
brought here in April last to 'De tried
