This is an action brought t. recover ‘something like 365,000 damages for an alleged breach of contract. It has arisen out of lumber transactions between ‘the two firms, and out of numerous law ‘Suits in which these parties have ‘visitors? A Destractive Fire. . The Union says: On Sunday evening a house and barn were destroyed by fire, on the White ranch, several miles morthwest of town, 01 Slate creek. The occupant of the place, a younz man, had gone to Rough and Ready to spend the day, and returning after night found the buildings heaps of burning embers. No fire was left upon the. premises, and'the cause of the burning must remain a mystery: The -barn contained some 15 tons of hay, some harness, and a few farming utensils, and alot of chickens. The dwelling contained furniture, and the clothing of the occupant, all of which ‘was destroyed. The loss is estimated at $1,500, and the amount of insurance is $1,000. The property belongs te Samuel Granger. As there were a number of boys shooting in that vicinity on Sunday, and. asthe fire commenced before dark, it is surmised that the fire may have originated through the carelessness of the = >> &— . & New Hall.

The entrance is to be from Pime street at the rear of the building, the ‘‘pig’s. feet restaurant” being removed for th t purpose. Itis believed Lones’ Hall will be one of the best small ones in the city when completed. 5 a Sif you aoe Silks worth $4 per yard for $2,:go to the 820 IMPORTANT.
