Sacramento Daily Record-Union Monday, July 5, 1880 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE SATURDAY'S FIRE - Saturday afternoon about 3 oíclock an alarm of fire was turned in at box 24, corner of Twelfth and G, caused by a fire which commenced in a small barn in the alley between Twelfth and thirteenth, F and G, belonging to police officer HARVEY, and communicated to one adjoining belonging to Mr. MARSHALL, and another on the opposite side of the alley owned by W.B.G. KELLER. The barn belonging to Mr. HARVEY cost $125 about one year ago, and with it he lost harness, hay, blankets, etc., making his total loss about $175. The shed next to it was entirely consumed, and the barn belonging to Mr. KELLER damaged to the about of $20. The probable total loss from the fire is not to exceed $250, upon which there was said to be no insurance. William GODDARD, of hose cart No. 2, was badly burned, and also his horse known as "Grant," which was occasioned by driving through the alley between the burning buildings to get the hose in position for action. The heat being intense the horse stopped and tried to escape through the opening in one of the buildings which were on fire, which was prevented by the driver jumping to the horseís head, and pulling him by with the bits. Mr. GODDARDís hands and face are badly blistered, and the horse was so much scorched that it will probably lose natureís covering, if nothing more serious. It is supposed the fire originated from fire crackers used by boys. ORGANIZED AND OFFICERS ELECTED - Trustees of the four Tribes of Imp.

BRIEF NOTES Fourth on the Fifth. The day we celebrate. No Police Court to-day. The riverís level was 20 feet 2 inches last evening. All the banks and principal business houses will be closed to-day. Donít fail to watch the Capitol dome this evening at 9 o'clock sharp. The City Free Library is closed for annual repairs till next Saturday morning. Poll-tax receipts are getting scarce and prices raising. They will cost $3 each on and after to-day. The ladies of the Sixth-street M.E. Church set tables for 4th of July dinner and lunch from 10 to 8 P.M. to-day. A call is published for all "Caledonians" - all Scotchmen - to meet at Pioneer Hall, at 8 oíclock this morning, to take part in the celebration. Governor PERKINS has commissioned J.W. CHAPMAN as a Commissioner of Deeds for the county of Suffolk, Mass., with his residence in the city of Boston. People from other places yesterday arrived in large numbers in this city to take part in the witness of the celebration to-day. Still large numbers will arrive to-day. A. CASSELLI is about to engage in a new business - a restaurant and chop house, to be known as the Campi Restaurant, and located at 216 J street. He promises choice fare. A large number of pencils have been sharpened in advance for chronicling celebration accidents to-day from boysí use of powder and pistols. Let them come in gently. Company ìB,î First Artillery, give a social banquet this evening at the State House, to be composed of the members and invited guests. Their reputation in connection with these annual banquets is sufficient for an enjoyable occasion. Willie BATEMAN, the little boy who was shot Friday evening in the back, by Georgie DUCK, was last night very restless from the wound, but inflammation has not thus far set in, and if it should not to any serious degree, he will probably soon recover. Georgie, although on $500 bonds for this shooting, was out upon the street again yesterday, with a pistol in hand, and celebrating as usual. DAMAGING CHARGE - Conrad SCHEPP was on Saturday arrested for misdemeanor by officer FREDERICKS. The offense with which he is charged is that of vending diseased meat and the facts in reference to which are stated by the complainant to be as follows: SCHEPP went to Center Township and there bought of Elisha DALEY two young cattle for $20,and a badly diseased cow, with swollen body and neck, was included in the price, with the understanding that her only value was in her hide. SCHEPP brought them home and it is alleged killed and sold the cow for beef, although pus issued from the neck and flesh when it was dressed. One-half of it is said to have been delivered to the Railroad Hospital upon a beef contract, and other portions were retailed out, some of which was returned with the complaint that something was the matter with it. Following our recent scare about something being found in the city water, there will probably be a large number now that wonít hanker for beef. Mr. SCHEPP says, however, that he is entirely innocent of the charge and that his arrest and prosecution has been prompted by unfriendly feelings towards him, and of course a discriminating public will suspend judgment and take their rations of beef-tea as usual until the case has been decided by the Court. CHIEFS RAISED UP - The following officers of Red Cloud Tribe No. 41, Imp. O.R.M., were raised up lat evening by District Deputy C.E. SPENCER: S., C.H. HOLTON, S. Sag., J.G. MILLER; J.Sag., W. LAING; C. of R., F.J. BIDWELL; K. of W., J.S. WATSON; Prophet, G.L. TAYLOR; First Son, J.A. PATTON; Second Son, Z.W. PAYNE; First W., O.N. CRONKITE; Second W., F.L. SMITH; Third W., F.T. DAVENPORT; Fourth W., R.H. BUCKINGHAM; First B., G.H. SMITH; Second B., J.O. HECTOR; Third B., T.P. SMITH; Fourth B., B.F. JOHNSON; G.of W., E. BURDOLT; G. of F., H. MORRIS; First P.W., E.C. HOPKINS; Second P.W., J.A. LAFFERTY. After this ceremony the Tribe adjourned to Fisherís banquet hall, where a bountiful collation was spread, and a general pow-wow indulged in, at the close of which the warriors returned to their squaws and pappooses, well satisfied with their eveningís entertainment. FAMILY JAR - On Saturday morning Joe AREAGA appeared at the police headquarters with a little four-months-old child in his arms, which, he stated, its mother (his wife) had abandoned, and also another little boy, about two years old. Upon this statement City Attorney ANDERSON filed a complaint of misdemeanor, and she was arrested by officers FERRAL and RIDER and taken to the station, where she now is with her children. Her version of the affair is that her husband beat her and finally drove her from the house at the point of the revolver, threatening her life if she didnít go. Itís possible thereís an incompatibility arising from mixing of nationalities, as he is of Spanish nativity and she of middle age, auburn temperament, and having happy memories of Erinís Isle.
