' Brush Fire Above Oro Dell-x o0 A fire that started in the dry brush and grass a? short distance above 8ro Dell yesterday afternoon spread0 to rattier alarming proportions. Citizcftf watched the smoke clouds rising over the top of Rooster Peak, west of the city, until f irtnlly Ihey saw the flames shoot over the top of tho hill. ThPa side oT the hill was fortunately i;ai bare, with the exception of a few trees, or the fire would likely have swept freight "down toward the town.

Pilfering ot robes and other articled left,' In automobiles are particularly common end the police rear that this line ot thieving will be increased with the cmlng- into effect of the sew parking ordinance. Which requi'is that all cars be kept off Adams arenaeand parked on side streets, if left for a ong9r period than half an hour. The only solu tion, it seems, will be for visitors to town to be more careful about leav ing ferflcleli ot value in their cars, locking on extra Urea and locking their cars so that they fan not be stolen.
