Had it not enuuht till later :n th" night doubtless it would have got beyond control before being discovered, and the whole town would have been con .-umed. This is another warning of what we inav expect at anv time, and should not go unheeded. Certainly this place has sullieient wealth and population to allbrd a lire engine, and all "necessary appliances f(Jr fighting lire, and we believe it is the dntv of the city council to seo that the want h immediately supplied bv taxing the property of the citv for the purpose A good engine can be bought on tin installment plan, and a two mill tax for two or three years would pav for it, and the taxation would hardly be felt by property holders. The result would hi) greallv reduced insurance rates, anil increased value of property in every part of the town, on account of the feeling of greater security which would be engendered. It is to be hoped the council will look at thii matter in a business like manner, and at once, take some action in regard to the matter. JJun.N'ixc; or Kari.k Chuck lluiuni:. Last Sunday the new bridge crossing Kagle creek, on the road from this city to Pine creek, was totally destroyed bv fire. From parties who arrived on the pot while the bridge was still on fire we learn that it caught from torest fires which were burning in close prox unity. This we believe is the general impression, although koine who havi come over the road since, seem to think it was the work of an ineendi ary. It was a splendid structure, cost ing almost $1,200, and a much better bridge than is actually needed at that place. A new bridge, sullicient for all purposes, can probably be put in foi three or four hundred dollars. The commissioners had a conference here last Wednesday, to take steps towards putting up a new bridge, and doubt less it will be done without delay. I ravel over that road is not impeded although it is rather rough fording at that place now. Work Si'spkniikd. Mr. Carroll chairman oi the roan commissioners, of this end of the Fine creek road informs Us that work has been sus ponded, although the road is not I'm ished as completely as he intended to linish it, and in several places it could he unproved. Willis hkill, the treas urer of the commissioner, had .$180 of road money m his possesion when lie disappeared. 1 hat money with as much more would have made a mag- nuicent road from here to uoose creek. -Messrs. Carroll and Efner deserve the thanks of the community for the able and faithful manner in which they have conducted this work. Wai.i.owa Minim. The Chieftain say: "A. M. Hall and .1. L.

Mr. Sears played a practical joke on Mr. A. N. Hamilton, the present sherilf, with whom he was intimately accipiainlcd in Iowa, several years ago. Having heard that the sherilf was in La (irande, he made a call upon him, and found him busi ly engaged in taking an inventory of an attached hardware slock. Seeing that Hamilton did not recognize him, lie concluded to have a little fun at the sheriff's expense. Choking down Fomcwlmt, he informed the shcrifl that he had a few tlayrf lefore bor rowed(?) a man's horse, and as yet had failed to return it, and having heard that tho man to whom tho ani mal belonged was contemplating his arrect, he had concluded to give him self tip to the slieriif, and had called for this purpose. Hamilton was non plussed, and scarcely knew What to do in the matter, and sat for some time deeply eni'agcd in wondering what he had best do. Air. Sears finally asked him what he intended doing with him for the night. Well, Well, well, said Hamilton, a man who is honest enough to give himself up, I guess will not run away. Well, said Air. Sears, "I might give yotl my name if that would prove any guarantee to my coming back tomorrow morning. "Well what is your name," .laid the sherilf. "David Sears," replied the supposed horse-borrower. "D rn yotti soul, said Hamilton, "don't sav any thing about this sell," and jumped nearly out of his skin m trving to gni6p the hand of his old friend whom he had not seen for twelve years DaVo promised to sav nothing about it and they adjourned to the corner saloon to take a smile at "Dock's" expense.
