alarming rapidity. Everybody thought
the Merchants Hotel, next to the corner,
would stop the flames, but owing to the
high wind the fire swept through the row
of frame buildings to the hotel. The
fianes swept along Main street consuming
boildings supposed to be Ere-proof, as if
they were finder. The heat was so op-
pressive that the fremen had 10 desert
their hose, and consequently the town was
left to the mercy of the fire.
Word was sent to Bellville, five miles
| south, and her company hurried to the
scene with all the available apparatus, but
| too late to be of service.
| After leaving the Merchants Hotel cor
ner, the fire swept south on to the next
block, jumped the street to the west and
| returned north along the street, burning all
| the business houses with the single excep-
ton of Friedman 81 Co.'S fireproof build
| ing. OF the four blocks of solid brick,
nothing is left but this one store.
The burnt district includes the entire
business portion and takes in but few resi-
dences, so there will not be any destitu-
| ton. The insurance on the property de-
! stroyed will not exceed $150,000. A num-

snubs and petty insults, and declares that
all appointments made by the Board have
been made for political reasons rather than

Tucson "a. IT,, July 3d.-Paul Rebeill,
who was reported to have been robbed last
week, near Tucson, shot and killed himself
yesterday morning at the residence of his
brother-in-law, Juan Charoleau. He left a
letter stating that he had taken poison at
10 o'clock, but had come 10 the conclusion
that it was acting too slowly, and he would
end his life with a pistol. He wrote four
or five letters to relatives and friends.
He sat down in rockingham, placed
the muzzle of revolver in his mouth and
fired, the bali coming out at the top of the
head.
He left a letter for District Attorney
Ford, retracting all he had said in charging
Romeo Flores with having robbed him. He
said he could not remember anything be
did that night. The general superstition is
that he was delirious from the effects of
drink, and shot his own horse, thinking
some one was attacking him.

that the law shall be enforced, while the
liquor men will fight the ordinance to the
bitter end. Rumors that there is flaw in
incorporation of the town, and that
Councilman Gibson does not legally hold
his seat are atloat this morning. The first
is based on the suppostion that some who
voted for the incorporation were not legally
entitled to vote, and the second on the fact
that Mr.. Gibson is one of the successors of
Mr.. Holland, who died before he took the
oath of office. Speculations are various as
to what will be the result.
