Florul Hall Destroyed l»y Fire. — Floral Hall was destroyed by fire Sunday morning having been set by children at play in the build ing. Il was not discovered until just before the flames broke through the roof and it was in ashes ten minutes after the ularm was turn ed in. Gerald and Maurice FitzGerald, aged 5 and 4, sons of M. Fitz Gerald, and George Moffett, about the same age, a son of Robert Moffett touched the match that destroyed the building.. They had crawled through a mull open ing in one corner of tne building near which a case of coal oil was stored. They upset one can on the floor and getting some paper applied the match, immediately scampering to a place of safety near Mrs. Riggs’ house where they were seen later confessing their guilt. Floral Hall which was a wooden structure, 50x90, was erected four years ago at a cost of 11800, and its destruction by fire is a total loss to its owner H. C. Smith, as there was no insurance on the building. There was but a small amount of inside propertv, and beside a small loss to Mr. Smith of some scenery, the only- other loser was his brother Joel Smith, who had been employed at the grounds and who on Saturday had placed his tools in the build- for safe keeping. The loss was a hard knock on the Fair Association but they were at work immediately securing lumber and carpenters and an ad dition has been built on the west side of the grand stand, and with the use of a part of the latter struc-1 ture they have a building 30x48, which it is thought will be ample space for the proper display and care of all exhibits. Guerneville, Cal., Sept. 8.—A. J. McKinnon, aged 40 years, and married, was shot and instantly killed at 8 o'clock this morning by A. Jerraud, a lunatic, who escaped a few day ago from the asylum at Ukiah The bullet passed through McKinnon's heart. Jerraud made good his escape and a posse, organ ized by local officers of the law, are scouring the country with hopes of arresting him. McKinnon rnme here several years ago after having resigned his office in Oregon and purchased a ranch not far from town. Il seems that while Sheriff he was once com pelled to take Jerraud to an asylum in Oregon, and for that the latter cherished a resentment. As McKinnon and Jacob Joos were sitting on Joos, porch, Jerraud came along pulled a pistol and fired without warning. His aim was perfect and McKinnon toppled over dead.
