Two Young Men Start to Walk From Williams to Jerome e-One Of
 Them Killed by Bear.

Ira P. Smith, commercial agent of the north and south road, returned yes terday morning from trip along the line. He tells story which veriies the saying that truth is stranger than fic- tion. While he was going to Ash Fork young man stepped aboard the train at Jerome Junction that looked more like the second edition of Rip Van Wrinkle than a human being.
 The strange and uncouth being was undoubtedly young, but his face was pinched and drawn with hunger and his eyes large and haggard. His clothes hung about him in shreds, while the flesh that showed through the rents was lscerated and bruised. The aspect of the young man was one to excite pity even in the most callous
 Greatly interested in the case MT. Smith spoke to the young man and asked him the cause of his forlorn ap- pearance. The young fellow stated that nearly three weeks ago he and another young man named Kennedy left Will Hams to go to Jerome to get work in the mines. Not having an abundance of money they concluded to walk the en- tire distance.
 They experienced nothing out of the ordinary until the third day on the trip. On that particular day about noon they were descending @ mountain when commotion in their rear caused them to look around and to their horror they beheld large cinnamon bear with cubs making directly for them. To think WAS to act, and the young man who tells the adventure dropped to the ground and rolled down the hill over brush, cactus and stones to an arroyo below. When he arrived at the bot tom he was nearly insensible from his contact with stones and cactus. He painfully picked himself up and could distinguish the agonizing cries of Ken nedy on the hill a bove and he felt cer- tam his companion was in the clutches of the animal. The cries soon ceased and the young man set to work picking the cactus points that literally covered his person. The process was slow, tedious and attended with great agony. After he had rid himself of most of the cactus points he literally covered hIs wounds with mud to keep down the in f1ammattion and started up the arroyo. Each succeeding day brought him no sign of human habiuation and his lacerationsi made progress slow. He su bsis ted on berries and the fruit of the cactus which he sucked to obtain moisture when water was not to be found
 Each night he lay down thinking it was his last on earth but would awaken in the morning stiff from his bruises and weak from hunger. but he staggered on and on the ninth day struck Jerome Junction, more dead than alive. He was taken care of by the railroad people and given proper nourishment and was sent north on the next train. He stated that he was going to Flagstaff to organize party to search for the remains of Kennedy.
 Con Kennedy, brother of the miss ing man, has also started out from Williams with large party to discover the remains

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.

The Heirs of w. T. Woods, s,Deceased
 Seek to Recover Property.
 Judge J. B. Wood ward yesterday filed 8 suit in the district court that will be of interest to many. The plaintiffs in the case are the widow of w. T. Woods, de- ceased and their four children. The suit is to recover from Dr. A. M. Futile certain property on Washington street opposite the Gibson stable.
 In the year 1883 Mrs. Mary Woods &C., quired by purchase the aforesaid prop erty. The money was paid by her hus- band but the deeds were made out in Mrs. Woods name but by purchase it became common property of the hus- band and wife.
 in 1889 the couple separated, Mir. Woods going to Kern county, Cal, and Mrs. Woods remaining in this city. In 1890 Mrs. Woods sold the property to A. Redewill for the sum of $2,O00. Mir. Redewill subsequently, sold the property to Dr. A. M. Futile for $4, 900. Dr. Futile erected another building on the lot and made other improvements amounting in all to about $l ,500.
 W. T. Woods died intestate in Feb ruary of this year in California and left 9 will leaving one half of his property to his widow and the remainder to his four children, all of legal age.
 The point in the case is thls: "All property acquired by either usband or wife during the marriage, except by gift or descent, shall be deemed the common property of husband and wife and during the coverture may be dis posed of by the husband only"
 The property was sold by Mrs. Woods without the knowledge or con sent of the husband and was therefore, under the statutes, not legal sale and on those grounds the heirs at law, seek to recover the prorEty from the pres. ent owner.

SILVER ON TOP. A Few Pointers for Sil-
 yer Democrats. A Few Suggestions by
 Senator Butler. National Banks Must Sur render Their Charters. Revenue Alone Is Deemed Suffl-
 cient to Support the
 Government.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Senator But Ter of South Carolina called today on Senators Jones and Harris, mem bers of the executive committee appointed by the recent Democratic silver conference, and suggested the following proposi- tions to be advocated by the silver Democrats:
 Repeal tax on state bank circulation.
 Admit silver to coinage at an equality with gold at the ratio of 16 to 1.
 Retire all greenbacks and coin cer- tifcates.
 Require national banks to surrender their charters and permit them to take out state charters under national sup ervision.
 Take the government entirely out of banking business.
 Stop issuance of long time bonds by the government.
 Revenues should be enough to sup port the government but if it is neces- sary to issue bonds they should be of small denomination in order that our people can invest their =se.!ngs in them.

THE CAMPERS.
A Very Large Congregation
 SuGdaA Night.
Many New Families Have Arrived Interest In the Meeting Is
 Daily Growing.

The sermon last night at the park was delivered from the fifth chapter and fourth letter to the Ephesians. Awake those that sleepest and rise from the dead" Rev. Hedgepeth spoke eloquently upon the subject to the edifcation of his bearers. The prayers and songs were we'll chosen and in every way the campmeeting last night was enjoyed by all present.
 Wednesday morning THE REPUBLICAN will publish petition signed by busi- ness men to shut up all business houses at 6 80 during campmeeting.
 Mr. Pratt has for the present closed the baths during services in the eve ming. This is another evidence of his kindness to the campmeeting.
 Sunday mornings sermon was de- livered by Presiding Elder Vaughan there was a good sized congregation largely composed of church members. The sermon as usual was full of bible truths told ln such simple and instruc- tive language thst it was a pleasure to all to listen to 1t. MT. Vaughan is 8 lucid speaker with lot of natural wit that never fails to yield fruit to the good of the church. He has made many warm friends Tn his intercourse with the people at large and everyone enjoys hearing him speak.
 Rules and regulations are posted all over and around the park, showing the requirements of the campmeeting com mittee. These are good sensible re- quests to the public and if overlooked should be enforced for the good of law and order.
 Much could be said about the evident good of such a meeting as it is causing many evenings to be spent by non- church going class to- sit within sound of the gospel.
 There has sel lom been better singing than was heard Sunday evening at the camp grounds.
 Key. w. A. Harris spoke for forty minutes Sunday night to 8 crowded pavilion; in fact there has never been larger congregation in Phoenix than was at the park. Every seat was taken and the utmost respect reigned while the eloquent words came forth as a revela- tion, portraving the great truths of the DlOle. Inc lI6e duu easy lHaHuer III which Mir. Harris dealt with facts showed his familiarity with the subject that inspired confidence and much in- terest was shown by the congregation throughout many going up to be prayed for, and as many more gave their hands in evidence of anxiety to lead better lives. The swimming baths were closed and the utmost decorum reigned.
 A goodly number have reinforced the ampers and before the week is out it is thought at least twenty families will be on the ground.
 In the afternoon the Rev. Hedgepeth, venerable pillar of the church, spoke to an interested audience, and. be it said to that congregations credit, sin. cere respect. evident interest as well as much concern for their future state

 Straw was put on each seat to make them more comfortable. Everything is being done to please (by the com mittee) the congregation and make their stay pleasant.

DON'T DISCRIMINATE
In the Enforcement of Sani-
 tary Rules.
Some Places Are Neglected while Others Come Under the
 Severest Restriction.

In the zeal for cleaning up some of the business men complain that they are forced to maintain scrupulously clean places while their neigh bors are permitted to do as they please. Ii this is an oversight of the officials it should be remedied.
 Mir. Zoeckler of the meat market near the postoffice, called last night and asked to have reporter accompany him. He first asked the reporter to walk on the north side of Washington street from Center to First street. The gutter all the way was full of water. that had been swept from the saloons and restaurants in cleaning the floors. Mir. Zoeckler then asked the re- porter to visit his meat market. The shop is clean, as also the street in front and the alley in the rear. Yet MT. Zoeckler says that complaint has been filed against him for maintaining a nuisance, primarily because in scrub hing the floor of his shop he allows ths water to run out of the building. He does 1t, however, in cleanly man. ner. Mir. Zoeckler complains for him. self, however, that his neighbors are not so particular. He especially calls attention to filth, refuse matter and smell that is frequently emptied in his backyard.
 It is to be hoped that MT. Zoeckler may be treated as fairly as others and that in the cleaning crusade all may be treated exactly alike.

A HOLOCAUST. The Gumrey Hotel a
 Total Loss. Heartrending Scenes Att tending the Fire. Fifty or More Persons Lose
 Their Lives. The Boiler Exploded and Fire Com pIeted the Work of Destruc-
 ton and Death.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 DENVER, Aug. l9.-The Gumrey hotel was destroyed by an explosion at mid night and fifty or more persons lost their lives in the ruins. Fire started after the explosion and completed the work of destruction and death. The engineer, an 1S-year.old boy, got drunk. The water was low in the boiler. The Gumrey was one of the leading hotels. Only few bodies have been recovered as yet. Many might have been rescued after the explosion, but the flames starting drove the rescuers back.
 The Gumrey was five story build ing valued at $50, 900 and had been used as hotel since 1888, when it was rebuilt after fine in which one life was lost. General Charles Adams, whose body Is believed to be in the ruins, has been a resident of this state since early days and formerly took a prominent part in politics as Republican.
 The death list includes the owner of the hotel, Peter Gumrey, Manager Robert c, Greiner and wife.
 The scene surrounding the death of James Murphy, contractor, was heart rending. The fremen engaged at the rear of the building heard agonizing cries from a man that he was burning and to continue to play water. After fifteen minutes of heroic work the fire men reached him. His two lower limbs were pinioned by two heavy ioists. After almost herculea1 efforts with dense smoke binding the fire mems eyes, Murphy's left leg was re- leased; at this moment the sheet of flame com pelied the men to withdraw. Murphy then offered his rescuers 5000 to get him out and piteously begged for them to chop his leg off. A second later the west, wall collapsed and covered poor Murphy with tons of debris. Murphy came to Denver from Omaha six years ago.
