Blaze at Capital restaurant and cold Nevada nights
A Christmas Eve fire reported at the Capital restaurant rear roof near the stove pipe was subdued with water from a hydrant. Despite fears of frozen hydrants, water did not need to be drawn. Reports say Nevada saw its coldest nights with the mercury plummeting to 40 below zero at Halleck and Humboldt Wells. News notes arrival of railroad timetable changes for Truckee Division and remarks on a San Francisco Chinese agent seeking compensation for five dead men. Senator Jones and Adolph Sutro noted as passengers, with Sutro facing reports of being displaced as tunnel chief manager. M S Bonnifield left for Lovelock to probe the five deaths and camp fire.
