AFTER THE FIRE.
Scenes and Incidents in Ko-

appears , was a tort of larga'clonot oft'

With an unputuu like this the fiery
element gained such headway that it
was impoAsiblo to stop it , nd in loss
than h'vo minutes the whole liotol was
a burning ma s. TJio iironriotor lied

ako the moijoy from his cash drawer.
A strong wind from the north was
blowing , and as soon as the Humps
eachocj the putoido they were carridd
o the adjoining buildings up the
AH Kit TIIK flKK.
When the terrible work of devasta
tion had been completed the scene wa
intensely grand. Where 1ml twb
hours bcforo prosperous business
houses had sloud now only high heaps
of rod hot coals simmered and burned ,
occasionally fnnticd into a hlnzo by the
fitful winds Doth sides of Ton Mile
avenue for a distance of two lonp
squares , which in teality constituted
the town , had not an upright timber
remaining , \\\\\o ] \ \ in the center of the
thoroughfare men and women stood
gathered together in little group , bemoaning
moaning their misfortunesandrockon
ing their losses. Men who but a few
hours bcforo liad felt comfortable in
thu possession of a few thousand del
Inrs , now stood looking Into the ashes
of thuir property , homeless and pn-
nilcs.i , knotting not whither to turn
to obtain a night'H lodging or a men ]
in the morning. The lurid gl.tro add
ed considerably to this snd scone , and
the roportn of giant caps and car
tridges at intervals of half a minute
forced ono back to the old war times ,
whin a village sacked and plundered
had been burned by'a retreating foe
\\hosQ outposts were still within
shooting range ot the pursuers. The
gray dawn of morning only intensified
the pitiable nupno , for then the tires
, lost theft brightness , and little be
sides the charred timbers remained.
TltB STORKS 1'LUNllimr.n OK VALUAllCKS.
\Vhilo the fire was in progress the
occupant * of dwellings in the lower
otid of towinaidod their less fortunate
neighbors to secure their goods and
chattels and place them in spots of ap
parent safety. Very little was saved ,
however , for tlio Humes overtook them
BO nipiuly that many of the goods
they removed were finally consumed.
During this interval away from their
own domiciles , the thieves and pil
lagers were equally hard at work.
Houses were broken into and robbed
of the most valuable contents. Sa
loons were plundered of barrels of
whisky , wines , beer and thousands
of cignrs. Some of the thieves
oven wont so far as go to the
miming nhops and in the pres
ence of the woikors , appropriate arti
cles of value to their own use. In
thin way a handsome gold watch be
longing to Mr. 'Winkloman Mas taken.
Ono follow went into Stainsby , Fort &
Colby's hardware store and insisted
upon obtaining a "fort-five double
action , " and when requested to carry
ouc two buckets full of pistols , re
fused until ho could make a selection
to suit him. Hu then walked off with
the two bucket H. A lawyer from Rc-
cone , in a manner somewhat similar ,
appropriated two pistols , and it is un
derstood that upon being accused of
the crime ho returned ono of the
weapons.
Thousands of dollars worth of goods
were stolen , and some of the businessmen
mon of the town had. a movement on
foot yesterday by which a committee
wan to MBpoct the ouoea not de- >
strayed , and "also the residence * at
Reoeno , to regain stolen property.
It waa also whispered that the man's
life would bo the penalty in whoso
possession the goods were found. Al
though the result might be considered
sovcio , yet the ends would doubtless
justify the moans , as a being who would
steal under such circumstances is
not fit to live in.a . decent community.
'Barrels of barrels of drinkables woio
taken to the surrounding hills , and
the inebriate and the dobauehees who
wore so plentiful nftek.1 the fire
showed how the liquor had been dis
posed of. For a while they nuvdo
night hideous with their oaths and
*
blasphemy , and moro closely resembled
bled devils than human beings. Tl
only wonder is that some lives w <
not sacrificed by the drunken men.
Of courao this class did not 10

many of whom were mortified &ti
