Phillips is young man, who had been
working with the section men on the Sis

evening to spend some of his wages. At
one of the saloons in town he fell in with
two young fellows. who willingly offered
to show him the sights. They took him
around. and finally, about II o'clock, led
him into a dark alley. where he was
brutslly beaten and robbed of about $40
and then they rolled him off the street
grade. where he lay for some time in an
unconscious condition.
Phillips regained consciousness at length
and of course found that his assaiants
had skipped. He reported the outrage to
the city officers and warrants were sworn
out for the arrest OF the two young tin
horn sports, who were suspected of the
crime, and they were overtaken this morn
ing at Siskiyou while on their way south.
Both are now In custody and they have
been brought back to Ashland. Their
names are Harvey Martin, aged 26, and
Frank Youmans, aged about 81. Both of
the boys we're raised in Ashland and have
relatives here who are respectable people.
But little doubt of their guilt is expressed
and the feeling in town is very strong
against such dastardly outrage.

to Industrial Improvement Association
held a meeting this evening to consider
the proposition OF c. c. Howell of Muske-

been approved by the directors. The
meeting was large and enthusiastic, and
many prominent citizens spoke, indorsing
the plan and advocating the employment
of Mr.. Howell to carry on the scheme and
TO swell the fund for the purpose.
The matter VAS taken hold OF with
will and it was decided 10 employ him for
that purpose. He has had large experience
in the East in promoting such schemes and
has been instrumental in building up sew
eral large towns in Western States by in
ducing manufacturers to locate works of
various kinds In such places. 1t is COZ
hdently calculated that by the time the
present business depression in the country
has passed away things will be in such
shape that large sccessions to the business

MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS.
Three BlazeS Started in the
Same Block.
BUT THE JANIToR WAS AWAKE.
One of That City's Handsome Build
ings Has Several Very Mar
row Escapes.

Los ANGELES, Feb. 24-Lulu German
has been arrested for setting fire TO the
Downey block his morning. The girl Is a
regular Il ebug. The attempt was made
about o'clock this morning to burn the
block, but. unateIy, the ianitor discov-
cred it before any particular damage was
done.
This is the third attempt at burning this
block. The first, which came near being
successful, occurred on the morning of
February 9, and the fire had gained con-
siderable Roadway before the department
arrived. a second attempt occurred a
week ago, but it was discovered in time,
and, as happened this morning, was put
out without any alarm being given. The
attempt of last week was quietly reported
to the pulce, and an officer was still work
ing on the case when this mornings affair
was reported.
Soon after 8 o'clock the janitor, who had
been on the lookout since the second at
tempt a firing he block, heard some per-
son running lightly through the halls.
He was out in couple Of minutes, but
there was nobody in sight. However. he
discovered something else. On window
sill lay small pile of fine chips saturated
with coal oil, together with some waste
paper. slowly burning. Already the wood
work of the windo w-caslng was on fire
and IN few moments there would have
been good blaze in progress.
The matter was reported to Officer
Bates. who went on duty at o'clock and
be proceeded at once to look up the person
be suspected. He soon found the one he
was looking for. and shortly after 10
o'clock the name of Lulu German. charged
with arson, appeared on the police blotter
The prisoner while being young in years
is pitia bic sight to look upon. She is
the woman who played quite an import
ant part in the Young murder case, the
character who was found guilty OF killing
Irene O'Brien. Soon after the trial she
was removed to the County Hospital,
where it is said she twice attempted to
start blaze. 1t looks very much as if the
poor unfortunate had mania for building
fires
