A DdstardIy attempt to Burn Dotcn the
Azores Hotel at San Jose.
SAN JOSE, CAL, May 19.-The police
to-day investigated a fire that occurred
early this morning in the Azores Hotel on
North Market street. The blaze was dis
covered by policeman almost imme-
diately after it started and was quickly ex-
tinguished by chemical engine. 1t was
then found that the floor of the barroom
and rear room had been saturated with
coal-oil, and a fve-gallon can half filled
with oil was found in the middle of the
floor.
Asleep in some small rooms on the Sec
ond floor of the small wooden building
were three Portuguese. 1t is said that if
the building had burned these men would
surely have been roasted alive. There
were no doors or windows leading out of
this portion of the house, and the fire had
been started at the foot of the stairway
leading from the narrow, crooked hall.
The proprietors of the saloon were not
around the place when the fire was discov-
cred and extinguished. It is claimed that
some one broke in and set the place on fire.
The fixtures in the rookery are said to
be worth about $25, but they are insured
for $1,000. 1t is SUSPECTED that the place
was set afire to get this insurance. The
perpetrators must have known that the
three dodgers upstairs were practically in a
death trap if the attempt to burn the place
had been successful. Arrests may follow
for arson

CRIPPLE CREEK, CoLo., May 49,
Sherman Crumley, kid Wallace and
Sam Wilder have been arrested on war
rants charging them with participating in
the Florence and Cripple Creek train rob-

to go to Merlin, where he was lodging, and
keep house for him.

children. After going about five miles a
quarrel arose over her having received let
ters from certain man, and Mrs. Fiester
started back to Grants Pass, but was
caught by Fester and dragged to hole of
water about three feet deep near the track
and held under water until dead.

to the Sheriff. Fiester talked very freely
about the matter and says he is ready to
