A cabin occupied by Eli Walker at the mouth of Little creek, known as the Dan Nicholson cabin, burned to the ground last Wednesday, together with all it's contents. MT. Walker was in Takotna at the time of the oc- currence, and little is known as to the cause Mir. Bondixen, neighbor, had started fire in the stove on Tuesday afternoon, leaving a half hour or so afterward, when everything was ap- parently in safe condition. About noon on Wednesday MT. Bondixen came out of his own cabin, distance of mile or so from the Walker cabin, and SEW cloud of black smoke leaping upward from the structure. He went in all haste to do what he could to save anything from the flames, but the fire was about over by the time he arrived at the scene.
 MT. Walker estimates his. loss at between s5 Q and $6OO. Consumed in the fire were many valuable personal effects, pr'aed highly by MT. Walker. In his loss he has the sympathy of his maaM sgiends.

the amount of twist depends upon the
