According to tbe Toledo
Re
porter, the government saw mill at
silnt burned on the 14th met.

The loss to the government is the
entire machinery and buildings; to
the Hall Bros., lumber, ehinglea
rmuihinerv to the value of
$1200. The Hall Bros, have been
unfortunate in the lumber businesa
in tbe Sileti basin. They loet con
slderable in every freshet of late by
logs being washed away.

said Miss Shive'y, through her at
toraey 8. S. Medley' will sue the
district for her wages for the entire
term of nine months, amount of
which ia about $360, and addition
al damages, the probable amount
of which has not yet been determined.
The case will come up for a

further announced that should the
decision be against Miss Shiveley,
that the directors of distsict No. 45,
