ROCAL 'TeEMs. Fe 1 eer ee Fire and Loses of Life, . A little before three o'clock yesterday morning, onr-citizens were aroused from their slupibers: by an alarm 6f fire, and the ringing of the bells at the honses of the fire companies. . -Ghe fire had taken in a house on 8p street, above Bridge, owned by L. , and in a short time that and the house next above, owned ‘by Hamilton, were enveloped in flames. . The heuse in _ which the fire originated was occupied by a uction of ecases of ; a bew “4 tg eceipt of TREET. he open-— AbatOmYy. nia. M. ally.

George Allyn, who lives iv the second house above, heard the woman screaming, and rushed to the place as soon as ‘possible; broke open the front door, saw her lymg on the floor and attem to drag her out; but he lost. his hold, fell ack, and the heat was so intense that a it-impossible to return to lier f She was apparently lifeless. Allyn was onvenslay burned on his face, necked Bangs, and*his hair scorched. The hose carriage of No.1 ‘was brought cn the ground by some young men. who had been ata dancein Temperance Hall, and that of No. 2 arrived soon after. In less than five misiates fromi the time the alarm of fire was given, the firemen had it undr complete control.Watson’s house, adjoin. ing Guscetti’s on the east, took fire, and Ean big condition. “After the fire was extinguished was considerably damaged, but the flames wero ‘extinguished before it was entirely destroyed. ‘The most of the furniture was but in a considerably damaged woman who desujwea inedetr’s house were . found where she had fallen near the front door, and were conveyed to No. 28 engine “pouse. Cordner Pope, having been sent for, heldan inquest on the remains, an _ account of which will be found in avother piace. Hamilton’s house was occupied by & woman ‘nattied ‘Mary ‘McAllister, who rushed. gut im bernight clothes, but some of the furniture was brought out and saved. Hamilton estimates his loss at $450; Guscetti’s house was worth $300 to.$400; Watson's loss, includmg damage to house and removal of furniture, was about $300. In the house occupied by the woman who per' ished in ‘the fire, there was no furniture of any value; and we presume $1,200 or $1,400 will cover the entire loss of property. We believe there was no insurance on any of le Shooting Affray. A serions shooting affray occurred at You Bet about half past twelve .o’clock yesterday afternoon. It. appears that a man named Tim Scantlin got intoa quarrel with Capt. Cuvilla, when the latter left and _ crossed: the ‘street to his own saloon. Scantlin followed him, when Cuvilla got a pistol and.warned him not to come into the'ailoon. Ncantlin persisted in going in, and.as he entered the door Cuvilla raised the and fired. The ball struck Scantlin justbelow the throat, and came out under the. right. armpit, inflicting a wound thatit was supposed would prove mortal, Cuvilla was arrested, and was to have beén exaniitied before Justice Barker afternoon. We gather the above ted teas Terry, who came to Nevads for a doctor, and left immediately bind: vehrensaa Son cats eodsen did ,ood work in extingaishing the fire yesterday morning. To those who lived in the vicinity of the fire, and were waiting for the hose carriages,. they. may have seemed long in coming; yet scarcely five minutes elapsed from the time the alarm was first sounded until both companies were on the ground, and had streams of water playing on the tire. The buildings burned were surrounded on three sides by other wooden structures, all as dry as tinder; yet 80 effective was the work that the progress of the flames was stopped from the moment the'firémen had their hose in position. The firemen are deserving of credit fer their promptness snd efficiency. ao Probate Court. Ip the Probate Court yesterday, William Hoskin was appointed adminiswator of tLe estate of Josiah Rodda, deceased. Tar thé matter of the sale of real property oftheestate of Frank McGeen, an order to July Sist, 1870, was anes Of this amount, $206,707 60 taah, and $4,200 on personal 3 phastohgde ct ‘The statement ‘of whe had-re-, . barley, that he had got up ‘for seed, and this with this with other property, snd. farm.

She ‘hal represented to every other person with whom she had come: in contact that she was poor, and’ had endeavored to pledge some. jewelry and othertrinkets for money,’ She had not received any money, since. her.arrival in town, either through the bank or, express office. . The most reasonable conjecture. as_to_ the . origin of the fire was that given by the witness Mary McAllister. The only candlestick the deceased had in the house was one like those used by miners, and which had been ‘stuck in the wall at the liead of ‘the bed.. She had gone to sleep and left w-tighted candle in’ the stick, » and when . it burned down to the loop it dropped on the floor and set it on fire. It is pretty certain that the woman hadi been drinking the evening before, and every circumstance goes to show that the fire originated in the manner indicated above, or by some other accident. The barn of: Prospect Savoy, who has a wood and hay ranch on Rock Creek, below the Blue Tent saw mill, was destrowed by fire about four o’clock Sunday afternoon. It appears that Savoy had built a fire to heat, some wire, which he was using to bale hay, and by some accident the fire communicated with the hay and straw about the barn. He hadin the barn fifty sacks of “was consumed, the flames spreading rapidly that nothing was er ae The lea was perhaps about $500 or $600, © ~~~ Prostrated by Heat. George King, while engaged yesterday iorenoon in digging a grave atthe Pine Grove cemetry, was prosteated by the heat. He was found in an insensible ¢ondition, lying on the ground near where he had been at work, and conveyed to the residence of Frack Nelson, near by. Dr. Hunt was sent for and adininistered restorativee,which seemed to partially revive him. Yesterday evening, he complained much of a paia in the temple, and he eppeared wo have no use of his. legs. Hot Weather, Yesterday was a scorching bot day, the hottest we have'iad since the 2d of July, just a month previous. From one till three o’clock, the thermometers hanging oo the north side of the buildings on Broad atfeet, ranged from 99 to 102 degrees.
