We Suai'i' tlie Scourge that Overtakes all Western Towns. la One Short Hour Two Hun dred Thousand Dollars arc swallowed up. As night settled down upoitthc Gallinas Valley in which lies the mar- velous young city, of East Las Vegas, it leit a horror-stricken populace, par- alized with a senso of their loss wan- dering about almost in a state of be wildcrmeni. The most terrible of reverses had taken place in one short hour and the smouldering a-hes with a lingering flame hero and theae were left to tell he tale of how the principal business block and l lie focus -f tho largest trade between Emporia and Guaymas Had vanished; while on the adjacent prairio hcerogenously collected were he stocks of merchandise which tin owners Jifirt hastily removed. The drunken good-for-not hings who makt such an occasion the opportunity for excessive indulgence in liquor Hound eren arouuci among the debris and i -i . . speechified liberally upon the inci dents and possibilities and probabi lities of the disaster which had iusi taken placcuiud cost us $175,000. HOW IT STARTED. In the rear of Marble's grocery in East Las Veiras, was his residence in one pari oi winch was used a &heet iron stove (which by the way is lit only tor (he open air;) it upset and slat ted a lire in the apartment which was at 0:.co beyond control. The wind being W. S. W. blowing onlj uioueraieiy Uie lire spread in all di rections at about 1 he same rate. The w.iolc town was aroused at once and the dense smoke which arose brought every man lrom the old town who could leave his position. iNoiaworu was heard above the cracking of the doubly dried timbers: everybody with any sense went to work and helped to remove the stocks of merchandise, quietly submittin what was plainly inevitable. Then if never before was it realized how utterly helpless is that commuu- ity in such a crises as this which has no fire department. The die was cast andas an occasional gust of wind drove : he flames to an extraordinary neigiit so that they almoht lapped over to the immense warehouse of Brown and Manzanares and Otero, Sellar, & Lo , on the east, and it seemed thai 1 he doom of utter extinction had set- lletl upon the pride of the great south- west, )ilcd along the wire fence which 6ur- rounded the warehouse of Brown & very effective one and utter the bitter Mauzauares only to be ignited a mo- ucss of the chastening has been sonic- meut nfter by the falling sparks, so that it was nccessarv to movn thpm --- I igaiu in order to sa,ve them.' Blankets were promptly applied to the row of buildings occupying the north side of center street as also to ihe warehouse on the tas side of Rail- Messrs. Mills & Hadley kindly fur road avenue. Salt was liberally dis- nished us with the following list of iributed upon the roofs of the latter and the prwnpt measures adopted by the owuers, soon seemed to guaran- tee tho sa:ety of the property. A case of catridges took fire in one of I lie stores ou Railroad avenue aud then continuous explosions lasted for some tune, scattering everybody who leared injury lrom them. 'm : . . .... . ., I xi.tic is 10 story o 1 inc progress of tlie iue. It simply advanced without any interruption on tac lated block. There was absolutely uo mortalaction to save it. At one time Col. Mills, and others, who was ou the roofof Levy, Cohn vt Co' building, attempted to tear away the wood front, hoping that the tin root and adobe walls might offer re sistance to the advancing flames but the heat becanio unbearable and the work was abandoned. The next plan was to blow up Hop per Dros. building with a keg of pow der, but pome ouc in a frantic state of might, prevented it aud oflured to knock any ono down who destroyed the building, believing it would not liin e A Castlo.

A keg of gun- oowdir in the New York Bakery would have saved the buildings on tli3 west and lessened the danger to the next block north It three different times the flames started up on the blankets which hung over the llilty Bros, block and water thrown upon the iron face of the meat market on the corner was converted at once into steam, by the xcessive heat. The vouug man who guarded Hilty's building and the one west of t, (we could not learn his name) who wore a light hat, deserves distinction for his courtige and perseverence in lighting tho heat which the winds ieut to him from the fire. It was wliolly impossible to get an estimate of last night. Tho exhaust ed merchants could not collect their thoughts and if they did tuey could not make a reliable guess at the amount of goods saved. it is safo to say, however, that the salvage will be large, as tho slow pro gress of the fire allowed almost every body to move all their goods, although at considerable loss from rough hand linr. A man unknown dislocated his wrist 111 getting off ot Whiteman's juildiug. We print a diagram of the burnt district. Hotels are all crowded to the ut most capacity as there were many men who roomed in nooks and cor uers of the burned districts. The protection of property, which s uow exposed, was placed in hands ot' Hie San Miguel rifles who were called out about 6 o'clock. Several arrests have been made. A great deal of plunder was carried ou by some of those who were pi e- tending to serve merchauts. McDonald opened a barrel of beer which flowed freely for all who asked it.
