Relief for the Sufferers,

The people who were burned ou had scarcely time to think about thei, loss and the destitute condition :hey were in, before telegram arrived from Winslow stating that s,oo had been contributed by the large hearted residents Of that town, and that pro. visions, etc. purchased with it would arrive Tn car attached to the evening train. This wa; welcome news, as every store in town had been burned out and there was nothing saved in the shape of food except few sacks of flour rescued fom Fitzpatrick store house. Some of these whose proper ty was not destroyed were in almost as bad a predicament for food as those who had lost everything. Money was of no use as there was nothing left to purchase with it. But Wins lows kindness happily supp.ied every Dody's immediate wants.
 The following is a list of supplies

Rebuilding the Town,

B,fJre the smoke oi the fire had passed away, preparations were bting made t0 rebuild. The first man to d. any business in new quarters wa, Ssm Shannon, who ran up small tent m front Uf the ruins of his ol,i hibatluon. R. fitzpatrick at once commenced building at the back of his former store, frame structure in which he will do business fer the pres eAt, and when a new building is erec- ted on the former site, thi, place will be used as a store hoIse. Dlggs Bros. X Co. are erecting two temporary buildings, one on the lot formerly oc- cupied by ] DJaahu3, the other where the hotel was The last will be open ed, as soon as completed, as a meat market. N. Berry and the impress ible 1an CoakIey arrived in town from NInsman on Tuesday. Very soon temporary building was ran up opposite Berry's old stand, and Dan was dispensing liquid consolation to the sufferers. F. Hawks has a tenn porary building completed on ;he site of his former restaurant, where he i, furnishing meals tor his boarders. San Shannon has also commenced to rebuild.
 J. R. kilpateick, ]. N. Berry, Dan Murphy, C. Hoxworth, 4. Gonzales, W. J, H.ll and Prcnliss & Vail, will commence to rebuild ia a few days. /. 5. B.annen X Co. are awaiting the examination of the ruins oi their building by the insurance inspector before they decide whcn and where they rebuild. It will be but a short tlme before the destroyed portion of the town will berebuilt and in moro substantial manner than il was before this disaster.
The Arizona champion., 1886-02-27

The only building now left in the two blocks was the Brannen store; a very solid looking structure, which stood as if defying the flaming enemy which roared around it. The people gathered in front of it on the opposite side of the railway and watched the result with silent suspense. The heat was too great to approach near the building. The fire toyed with the wood cornice over the front of the store and danced around the sash of the office window, but no sign of fire in the interior could be seel through the front doors and the large plate glass windows. The wood sidewalk around the building was on fire in places, but did not burn fercely. For fully fifteen minutes the fate of the building was in suspersc. Some thought it would weather the fiery storm. Others thought that a few more minutes would show that 1t was doomed. but all were powerlcss to give any aid. Presently dim light was seen through the windows, soon followed by the crash of the large plate glass. With subdued roar the dense black smoke rolled out, and be- hind it the leapins flames. In few minutes the apertures that had been occupied by the front windows and doors were belching forth fire like huge blast furnace. When the gray light of morning came three shaky walls was all that was lief. of the finest business Store on the line of the At lantic & Pacific railroad. Then the sun rose, seeming more bright than usual, Tn this land ot sunshine, and 1t up scene of smoldering desola- ton from the postofliee corner to tl.c eastern limit oG the loSn.

Origin of the Fire.

The flames were first discovered is. suing from the roof of the kitchen si the back of the Chinese restaurant, in the Berry building. At first there were great many wild stories in cir cuialion, some claiming that 1t was the work of an inccndiary, others that the fire originated in an opium ]oint, which it is claimed the Chinese were running.
 1t was also stated that one ef she Ch'ra aen had got up and having lii,
 kitchen stove had gene to sleeo again. This the Chinamen distinctly

Lock wook and others, have been there night and day distributing provisions and clothing as fast as the relief com mittce issued orders.
 The Aver Lumber company con tribated $500 in money, but reserved to themselves the right of distributing it. It IS understood this money will be placed where 1t will do the most good in helping business men, who have lost everything, to start up again
 The relief committee, who have an untnankful office, as it is impossible to please everybody, are doing the best they can. MT. B. E. BuIwinkle, the manager of the Arizona Cattle com. pany, Is entitled 10 the thanks of the whole community. His experience as the former chief of the Chicago Salvage Corps, made his services in valuable, al first.

deny. sam rep, the owner or the
 restaurant, and his two assistants. slept in frame nou,e in the rear of Mr..
 Berry's lot, in building entirely sep
 arate from the main building where
 the restaurant and kitchen was, and
 at least twelve feet distant from the
 latter. Sam Yep states that he and
 his assistants left the restaurant kitch-
 en and went to bed shortly after ten o'clock Saturday night, and that they
 knew nothing further of what hap
 pened during the night until they were
 awakened about halt pas. four o'clock
 Sunday morning by the light of the
 fire, and on opening the door of their
 room saw the flames coming through
 the roof of the restaurant kitchen.
 Foren and Bidinger went to bed be.
 fore midnight. Foren and others
 went into the restaurant (which was open to the saloon without any doors separating i,D after the Chinamen had
 retired, and report that there was no
 fire burning in the kitchen stove.
 Now, as it l, positively known by sev- eral eye witnesses that the fire origin a,ed in lhe restaurant kitchen, and that ihe flames were first seen coming through the roof of that portion of the building, if the Chinamen do not lie, it certainly looks as if the fire m;ght have been the work Of an in cendiary. On the other hand the Chinamcn may have caused the fire by accident or intention, an1 now lie to shield themselves from the respoasi- bilily. There is one very damaging f,ct against them. Although they had ample time to do so they gave no alarm and disappeared in q most mys- .crious way. No one saw any of them It the commencement of the fire. Had they given an alarm when they
 first saw the fumes, considerable prop crty might have been saved, and in all probability Billy B!diuger's life, for ;he window of the room, ia which they knew he WIS sleeping, WIS within d few feet of them as they silently stole away and took refuge in the laundry on the street above. When spoken to about this San Yep said "ihey were too much frightened to make ny noise" WHe1 people are f,ignt- cncd, ii the t!,nc they generally make a noise.
 These are probably all the facts that will ever be known about the origin of the fire. The Cninanea's story IS "very thin" They do no, deny that th>y g,t away before anyone Wa, aroused, and that they male no effort to arouse the people ia the burning oui.di1gs. HInan beings who would | lct tn, way would scalccly hesitate t) lie il the statements they Tn Ike concerning Ihe wy ia walch th.ir | place took fire, therefore, but little 1 cln be sisen 10 Sam Ytp's sla.emcnt.

Detailed Estimate of 'he Losses and Other
 Facts, A.iC., Etc.

Within few minutes of half pa, f"ur Sunday morning, Mr, John Vlu 'ne. the night teiegraph operator s 'he railroad depot, wen, oa; upon th, platform in.front of his office, and o1 booking toward the wcs, end of Rul
 read Avenue, he saw small body ut flame coming apparently from tic back of the post off" All the .a. looms were closed sith the exception oi Ndils. Mr. Vining ran up the street, kicking the doors Is he went. and in d few minutes the startled occr pants We're OF the street. In sh,r, lime the fire had made considerable headway, KIlpatrick's store, Berry, saloon and Murphy's store were in flames. There was no water and the whole block was built of frame houses 1t was useless to make any attempt to arrest the conhagration, therefore, everyone set to work to save wba, property they could. But, although wiling hands were ready and almos, superhuman efforts were made, only ! small amount of the contents of the buildings was rescued from destruc. ton.
 Twenty minutes from the tune the hre broke out, the whole block, ex- tending from the postoifice on the corner of Gold Avenue to lanes Vall's on the cornef of San Francisco Avenue, was in flames, and practically consumed. The next building to take fire was the CHAMPION office. on San Francisco Avenue. The fire ragged so hercely that this was quickly reduced to ashes. followed by the resi-. dence of W. L. Dykes, CT the opoo. site side of the street. These were the only two buildings consumed ovt. side Of the property on Railroad ave. nue.
 When the flames reached Vairs so, ioon on the corner of San Francisco Avenue, it was hoped that the destruc. 'ion would end. On the opposite side of the street the massive stone walls of P. B. Brannen & Co.'S store seemed to offer an ehectual barrier to its further progress. Beyond this was a meat market, pr. Br. Brannen's of. | flee, Shannon's saloon, Hawks restau. | rant and J. A. Marshall's residence all frame structures; The flames leaped over and went aroand the Brannen building, leveling these with the ground Tn very short space O 'ime.
