day. Sheriff Lockhart purchased of Thomas Clark last week, 35 head of cow-ponies at $35 per head. They were shipped to Doming. D. H. Tulloch, of the Burros, spent several days in the city this week. ( 122 ) Pinos Altos In Ashes The Business Portion of the Town Swept Away The residents of the tall pine camp were awakened from their slumbers at 5 a.m. yester- day, by that most dreaded of all alarms, fire, and in less time than is required to write this article, the entire business portion of the town was a mass of seething flames. The fire origi- nated in the Baxter house, a two story frame edifice, and before the town had become thor- oughly awakened, the fire-king had obtained the mastery. The absence of water tended to increase the damage, as a building once at- tacked was beyond help. The occupants of the different buildings barely escaped with their lives, so rapid was the march of the devouring element. It was reported on our streets early in the morning that several lives had been lost, as the parties could not be found after the fire. This was merely surmise, however, as an En- terprise man was early on the scene, and failed to find anyone missing.
