MT. Antonio Garcia, very intelli- gent gentleman from San Luis Obis- DO. Cal, is in the city en route home from Sonora, where he has been for the past several months. He brings news that in the district of Sahuaripa. a few days since, the Apaches killed two MeXicans engaged In collecting mescal. The dead and mutilated bodies were discovered by vaqueros. who also found the body of third man much deconposed, who, together with his horse, Lad been killed some time previously. Four Indians only have been seen, but the force was be- lieved to be much larger. as the trail of the hostiles up Bacanora canyon was quite large. This sudden ap- pearancc of the Apaches has thrown that entire country into a violent state of alarm, as the people thereabouts had fancied themselves secure from further depredations. Ranches had been taken up, mines opened, and the country wore a general air of thrift and prosperity, but it will now be again brought to a stantstill. The killing was done at place called Soyopa, about 150 miles southeast of 1Iermosillo. Undoubtedly these h. dians are the same little band of rov- ing devils who succeeded in getting away when Geronimo and Natchez surrendered.-Tucson Citizen.

A few days ago New York spec ialist in pathology showed the writer two bottles. One contained section of healthy lung of q man who had lived ill the country, and the other the lung of man who had lived and died ill New York. The country lung showed d clear pink color: the city lung was almost black, and it was impossible to trace the veins through the smut and dirt.

Be Summoned.

Tribune Building.
j. B. Swift, of the Trades AS
sembly, Tells Of His Visit
to the Building.

At 10 o'clock yesterday morning Cor
oner Towers began an inquest on the
bodies of Z. NJ. 5. Pickett. w. II. Mill
man, ". 4. Miles, j. +. lgoe, Edward
Olson, Robert McCutcheOn and Elmer
j. JenkinSOn, the men who were killed
by the fire in the Tribune binding on
Saturday night. Long before the in
quest began there was great crowd of
people around COnnelly's undertaking
establishment, trying in vain TO make
their way into the chapel in the rear OF
the office, where the inquest was TO be
held. By order of the coroner no
one not a relative of the dead
men was admitted. DR.. Towers
and Inspector Ray were busy at work
Summoning witnesses and jurors and
every one vino can throw any light on
the cause of the fire, or in any manner
erly belongs. While the facts of the
fire and the tragic and horrible death of
the men are perhaps generally under
stood, there are other things which de-
mand a rigid and searching investiga-
ton. No one in Minneapolis. seemingly,
realizes this more keenly than DR..
Towers. and he says everything will be
done to place the blame just where it
belongs. Chief among the matters that
will be given to the jury is the character
ami construction of the building. This
will be the subject of rigid inquiry, TO
determine, if possible, whether there
was any neglect in the construction or
equipment of the building which
led to the terrible loss of human life.
The jury summoned by the coroner is
composed of men of intelligence and
standing in the community, and one
glance at their faces is enough to satisfy
the minds of the spectators that they
w.lldO theiI whole duty without fear or
favor. The jury consists of p. ID. BOu-
tell, J. II. DAVIS, Luther Ford, j. E.
Ward. f. Fl. Armstrong and G. d.
Kingsley. After the jury had viewed
the bodies and been sworn Mr.. Ward
was appointed as clerk for the jury, and
instructed to take the testimony given
by the different witnesses as fully as
possible for the use of the jury i'll their
deliberations.

THE INQUEs, COMMENCED.
The Bodies of the Seven Men
Killed Identified.

The testimony of the identification of
the dead men was heartrending to the
witnesses who had so long been their
companions and friends, and the tears
coursed down the cheeks of more than
one strong man as he gave the forlna
testimony that he had seen the bodies
in the mOrgue and recognized them.
The newspaper men whose sad duty it
was TO chronicle the proceedings of the
investigation were affected almost as
much as the witnesses, and there was a
suspicious blowing of noses and con-
slant application of handkerchiefs at
the table set aside for their use. as one
after another of the names of their dead
companions were mentioned, that
silently portrayed their feelings. The
entire morning was taken up with the
Identification of the dead.
Henry Brown was the first witness
sworn by the coroner. He recognized
the body of DIR. Edward Olson, and said
he had seen him a short time before the
fire at S. Z. Olson'S store. G. l.. Bris-
toll, school teacher at VermilliOn, S.
D., also recognized the body, and said
he saw him OH SATURDAY. evening on the
fire escape at the Tribune building.
Prof. Olson got out of window and
commenced to descend on the outside
and Mr.. Bristol on the inside of the es-
cape. The doctor and every one else
was calm. 1--WE came down the ladder"
continued the witness, without undue
haste, and believe that we
had descended TO the second
floor before DR.. Olsen lost his
hold on the ladder and fell to the ground.
He struck squarely ON his back, and
was picked up almost Immediately by
two policemen. l followed as rapidly
as possible and helped to carry the
body to the Ideal restaurant. lOOsened
his clothes and made hasty eXamina-
ton. but could not discover any signs
of life. He gave one or two gasps, but
that was all.''

bodies. W. B. Hammond recognized
