A FAITHFUL DOG Facilitates His Masters
 Capture. The Deadly AssaiIant of
 Alvarez in Jail.
Robosino Brought in by Sheriff
 Orme Yesterday.
He Admits the Attempted Murder and Says in Excuse He
 Was Drunk.

Sheriff Orme returned yesterday morning with Robosino, the man who stabbed Jose Alvarez last Monday night. On arriving at Maricopa Tues- day night the sheriff learned that two men supposed to be Robosino and Ja- cinto had been seen that day at the Maricopa tank. He found that they had separated at the tank and one of the men carrying g rife and followed by dog had gone southeast. This rife and dog by the way had been marks of Identification to all who had seen the fugitives for the men who had tried to murder Alvarez had a rife and dog with them.
 The sheriff telegraphed to Casa Grande advising officers to keep a look out for the man with the deg and he followed on the next train.
 When he arrived at Casa Grande Robosino had been captured. He readily admitted that he was the man who had done the stabhing. The vic. tim himself had not been certain which of hls two assailants yielded the knife. The weapon though was found on Roboslno. It WAS murderous looking affair with 8 blade seven inches long. It had evidently been inserted it's whole length into Alvarez side. The point was fortunately so dull that the bowels had been pushed back and not punctured. The only excuse offered by Robosino was that he was drunk.
 The dog was brought back with tho | prisoner and he stood all day. at the grated door of the jail looking in to catch now and then 8 glimpse of his master.
 | Alvarez is still alive and his chance of recovery which et first was pronounced to be one in 6 thoue and is constantly increasing.

A PEEPING TOM,

Nabbed While Gazing in a West
 Phoenix Window.
 A peeping Tom was caught in the act late on Wednesday night. His name has not been made public by the off, cers who arrested him. He was re- leased on $20 bond to appear in po- lice court yesterday morning. The bond was forfeited, so that the city is 8 greater gainer than if he had been fined. This peeping Tom is an old man, old enough to be supposed to be without the kind of curiosity that got him into trouble.
 The affair happened near the corner of Madison street and Fourth avenue. The old man had been seen tor several nights infesting house and hanging about the windows of room occupied by lady. So when he appeared on Wednesday night the husband of the lady gave Officers Bailey and Hooker a tip. They lay in wait for the curious individual. He finally sneaked from the shadow of tree near the house and approached the window on hands and feet. Then they nabbed him. He begged, as all men do who are caught in disgraceful acts, to be spared the disgrace of publicity.

Cliff Brown Talked Unfortunately
 About Ills "Razzer."
 H. E. Homage, popularly called Friday" the proprietor of south Phoenix crap game, used the butt end of a revolver on the head of Cleff Brown, colored hanger. on about the game, yesterday morning with so much effect that it was feared Brown would depart this life. The trouble began with an ordinary dispute. Brown threatened to submit it to the arbitrament of 8 "razzer" and even stated specifically here he would begin work. Then the gun performance WAS enacted. Fri day" was arrested and was refused bail by Justice Johnstone, Browns injHr- ies having been greatly magniied Later in the day g physician visited him and said that though his injuries were painful they could hardly be said to be serious.

saved. The wind is blowing a half gale and sparks are being carried for blocks, greatly increasing the spread of fire.
 A number of people have received in- juries from falling walls and flying timbers. The people in the fire dis trict are panic stricken. Most of the people are of the poorer classes and are making determined efforts to save their small belongings. Express wagons and drays are at premium and people are moving out blocks away from the fire.
 Probably over one hundred thousand people are congregated about the burn ing district and the police are power less to keep them away. The fire is so hot, however, that the manageable crowd does not get near enough to be ID serious danger.
 One death is reported. A Miss Gil roy while attempting to save some be- longings, was covered with burning oil and burned to death. Over hundred families have lost their homes and all they possessed. A large number of horses were burned in stables.
 The winery and railroad offices have saved the day for the iremen, the flames being checked by these struc. lures. It is not believed the loss is as great as was at first estimated; prob ably million dollars will cover it. On account of the high rates of insurance in the district the loss is nearly total, the insurance being prohibitive.
 The wind has shifted and sent the fire back over the burned district and no fear is now expressed of the fire spreading further.

An Exciting Experience in the
 River Bed.
 Deputy Sheriff Garfas had an ex- citing experince in the river bed the other day. He undertook to cross the channel at Wilson's crossing. The sand looked hard and firm and he rode along the channel. The sand suddenly gave way and his mare which the deputy sheriff values as his life was ffoundering to the saddle girth. With the aid of her rider she struggled to the surface only to sink again and by this time the channel for several feet in all directions was quaking. She kept go- ing down and down until only her head and neck were visible.
 The officer seeing that he conld not extricate her without aid went to 6 house in the eighborhood and got a couple of men with shovels. The whole night was spent in releasing the mare and was finally accomplished by fasten' ing rope around her neck and drag ging her out.

 Jail Again.
 J. Dixon, colored tough who has been giving the municipal officers & great deal of trouble, is in jail again. Night before last French prostitute was robbed of $3S Tn silver. Suspicion was directed toward Dixon and he WAS captured early yesterday morning.
 There was found on him $I7 in silver and beside this check for $165 drawn by A. G. Willis upon the Midland Bank of Kansas City in favor of Frank Bernard.
 How Dixon obtained the check is not known. It was learned that Willis is 8 resident of Kansas City and lately purchaser of interests in the Columbia mlne. He came here about three weeke ago and returned to Kaneas City last Monday night. No one could ba found who knew Bernard. The check WAS dated on May 15, about the date of Willis arrival here from Kansas City.
 The officers do not believe that there is sufficient evidence against Dixon to convict him of the robbery Of the French woman. He will likely he held though in the police court for the longest term, for vagrancy.

ABOUT A WAGON.
In Which There Was Only
 Color.

The trial of the estste of Guadalupe Cordova Miranda against Rafael Ve- lardo took place in Justice Johnsto tone's court yesterday. This was revivica- tion of 8 matter which had been al. ready tried in probate court.

ACCUMULATING CRIMES.
Isom Ayers Is an All Round
 Thief.


 Isom Ayers, who is in jail to await the action of the grand jury on charges of larceny and forgery, is in other woe. He will be examined also for burglary.
 Some time ago the residence of Frank Cox was burglarized and several ar- ticles were stolen, among them 8 gold headed cane. Ayers was sort of con- fidential man about the house and WAS not particularly suspected of the crime.
 It was learned yesterday that the cane was in the keeping of colored woman named Hendricks and a search warrant was issued. The cane was found in trunk along with a lot of bric-a. brac and jewelry. Mrs. Hen dricks said the cane had been left with her by Ayers. Two colored girls said they saw him coming out of the Cox residence with the cane.

 SAN FRANCIsCo, June 27.-At6 6 o'clock this evening an alarm was sounded from Fourth and Bryant treets for fire in the box factory of Wright, Car. rick 6 Williams. The fire spread rapidly and in a few minutes the Fifth Street Furniture company was a mass of flames. As soon as the fire chief ar- rived another alarm was sounded and despite the work of the firemen the whole square bounded by Fourth, Fifth Brannan and Bryant streets was soon a mass of flames.
 A third alarm calling all the fire ap. paratus of the city into use, was turned in but the fire is till spreading at this hour C o'clock). Buildings on the other side of Brannan street have not commenced to burn but strong breeze is blowing and it looks as if the fire would work it's way through to the Water front. The fremen seem almost powerless. Several explosions have oc- cured, but so far as known no one is injured.
 This section is the wood manufactur. ing center of the city, being devoted to all branches of the lumber trade. This same section was completely wiped out by fire nine years ago.
 The entire block bounded by Fourth Fifth, Bryant and Brannan streets is a mass of ruins. The fire has reached the Overland Transfer company's brick freight warehouse and the hard ware store house of Baker and Hamilton These brick buildings have temporarily checked the flames but they are work. ing around to the railroad yards.
 A number of immense wool ware houses have been destroyed. The enormous brick winery of s. Lachman X Co.,, which contains several millions of gallons of wine has just caught fire at one corner. It is thought, however that this valuable property can be
