Fire Costs Five Lives.

Two Being Those of Women and Another That of a Child.

Susanville, Cal., Oct. 22.- News just received here from Clairville, a new town in Plumas county, Cal., reports the burning of a hotel and the loss of five lives. The dead are: P. Pedrina, Carson Barney, Mrs. Cornado, Florence Roberts (7 years oíd), and a woman whose name has not yet been ascertained.

The fire broke out at 4 o'clock in the morning in Chat Roberts' hotel. Roberts awoke in time to escape by jumping from the second-story window, in doing which he sustained severe injuries. The other occupants of the building lost everything but the clothes they wore.
