Much Money Spent for Cigars-10,0 ,00O
 Daily Consumed in Phoenix.

Tt would Surprise you to know the number of cigars that are smoked daily in Phoenix" remarked Sam Seip yes terday in conversation with a Republi- can reporter. From estimates made by me-" he continued, T find that from 1000 to 10000 cigars are con- sumed daily in this city alone.
 ''Of that number of cigars about twenty-five per cent are of the Key West brand and homemade goods. The remainder are of Chinese make The poorest and cheapest brands of cigars are made in eastern Pennsylvania.
 MT. Seip is a local manufacturer of cigars and he figures that only ten per cent of the cigars smoked in this city are of local make. He has an exten- sive local market for his cigars and makes about 1000 per day. He says that about $350 day, at wholesale prices, is spent for smoking in this city If none but locally manufactured cigars were smoked here it would mean the constant employment of fifty men tC supply the demand.
 MT Seip handles nine differen | brands of cigars, all his own make, anC they have an exclusive market in Phoe nix. There are two firms manufactur 1 ing the weed in the city and thei combined output daily is from 1,500 tt 1000 cigars.

Hackett's inspection while>< his com panion deftly and quickly rif1ed the miners pockets, securing S45 in money.
 Hackett was inclined to resist, but the ominous click of the gun made him submit without further protest. After rifling his pockets the highway men ordered him to proceed home and they disappeared northward
 Hackett notified Officers Bailey and Buck of the occurrence, He was cool and collected and to the best of his ability described the men who held him up The officers mounted their bicycles and started for the Five Points to intercept the men, but re- turned after a half hours fruitless search.
 Hackett was in the Palace saloon playing faro until 11:30 o'clock. He left at that hour for the Gilbert house on Adams, between Second and Third avenue, where he is stopping.
 MT. Hackett is a stranger, having re- gently arrived in the city.

IT w AS NIGHT!
When the Man From Iowa Was Held
 Up''-in The Gazette

Early yesterday morning while the electric street lamps shone weakly, and the gas jets sputtered, ftfully, and there was a deep, dark pail over the mOon-the kind of pail that always intervenes in favor of the villainous work of murderous thugs-the pros trate form of a man might have been seen stretched lifelessly across the street car tracks on East Washington street, his livid face upturned to the cold, pitiless sky.
 He had been the victim of a holdup, one of those narrowing, hair-raising holdups that you read about-in The Gazette.
 The sensational details were nar- rated in the best style of the Phoenix Police Gazette yesterday morning. The deadly work of the highwaymen | was perpetrated at about the hour when the crimes reporters imagina- tion is most lurid Enveloped in a halo of mystery and a cheap Shakes perean mantle formerly worn by James Owen O'Connor, he pictured the bloody deed in picturesque English that was calculated to coagulate the blood of the most hardened free lunch fiend. The victim was wobbling home on a wheel at a Wont Go Home Until Morning" gait, when suddenly from out of the gloom there is always a 1 gloom when man is held up, espe- cially in the newspapers two power full masked men sprang upon him and demanded his meal ticket and other valuables. The tipsy wheelman in pit eous, pleading tones, told them they could have everything if they would only spare his watch. Resisting, he was bludgeoned-br brutally, cruelty bludgeoned-an left there to die.
 But he was saved-saved by milk, man who happened along that way The milkman dashed some water from one of his milk cans in the face o1 the poor fellow and revived him. His name was suppressed because he didn't
 want his ma to know he was out SC
 late at night. The police have no1
 been notified, but the milkman tolt

MINING LOCATIONS.
Miners Should Not Unnecessarily De-
 lay in Completing Them.

Judge Baker made an important rul- ing yesterday morning that will be of interest to miners.
 The case was that of L. P. Nash ct al against L. J. Horton ct al, a suit to recover the possession of the ground alleged to have been covered by the notice of location of the Overlook mine.
 In August of 1894 the plaintiff put up one monument on the claim and placed thereon his location notice. He left the claim without doing anything more. In October of the same year he returned for the purpose of erect ing more monuments on the boun- daries. The defendants in the case were in possession with arms and warned the plaintiff not to enter upon the claim The matter was then brought into court, and resulted in a verdict for the defendants. Judge Baker held that the plaintiff was guilty of unreasonable delay in not completing the location. He said that the law required an immediate completion of the location, or it's com pletion within reasonable length ot time, and that plaintiff had delayed too long. The defendants had peace ably entered upon the premises after a certain length of time and were ir actual possession when the plaintiff appeared on the scene again.
 The decision clearly covered the gen eral principles governing mining loca- tiOnS and jS one that will have a di rect bearing on similar cases.

MUSIC AT THE ADAMS.

The Hotel Adams will have a first class orchestra furnish music tomor row Saturday. evening and Sunday evening" The musicians will play in the dining room during dinner and in the grand rotunda until 9:30 p. m.
 On account of the many rumors that have been circulated in regard to the prices charged for meals at the big hotel, the management wishes to state that the. price for meals is 75 cents A cordial invitation is extended to the business men and citizens of Phoenix to call at the hotel. They will always be welcome. One of the principal reasons MT. Adams had for building such a fine and commodious office was to make it pleasant place for the business men of Phoenix to call and pass an enjoyable evening and get ac- quainted with the large number of visitors that come here to spend the winters.

PRETTINESS IN BOOTHS.
Tempting Array of Sweets and Dain.
 ties at the Bazaar

An artistic and financial success. This is what may be said of the Pres byterian church bazaar held last night in the large store room under Redewilfs hall. The doors were thrown open shortly after ' o'clock, and from that hour until almost 10 o'clock the room was crowded. Hardly anyone left empty handed, for who could resist purchasing when such a tempting array of articles of f-hll kinds met the eye in all parts of the room? Then, too, the proceeds were for a cause most worthy, and Phoenix peo- pie are noted for generosity on such occasions.
 In point of decorations no improve ment could have been made, for delft and artistic hands had lavishly strewn flowers and palms in every part of the hall. The booths were covered with 1 them. | Directly in the center of the room was a Christmas tree laden with good things, and the branches were covered with snowf1akes.
 All the booths did a remarkably good business, there being a special rush at the candy and doll booths The candy was toothsome and deli cious and of home manufacture. As for the dolls, there were waxen dolls with rosy cheeks, dolls with f1axen hair and silken attire, and dolls that cried. The young ladies of the church dressed the images, and extremely handsome were some of the dresses.
 A heavy drain was made on the curio booth, also. There were all kinds of curiosities of Indian and Mexican make and they sold, too. al reasonable prices.
 Four bootns represented the foul seasons of the year and the ladies ir charge of --em were kept constantly busy selling their wares.
 The following ladies were in charge of the booths: Mrs Plank, Mrs. J. Y T. Smith, Mrs. J. s. Hambrook. Mrs F. Smith, Mrs Sherman, Mrs. Depew Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Chapple, Misses Hill Sargent, Mamie Plank, Ethel McKin ney, mlldred Kelley, Laura Fickas.
 The bazaar will be open this after noon and evening, and there is nc doubt that a good round sum will b, realized.

KILLED IN CUBA.
Being a Football Player, He Was
 Brave, and Died Fighting.

Winchester D. Osgood, the football player who died fighting for the Gu bans, was training a piece of artillery on the Spanish forts at the time he met his death. He was killed on the sec ond day of the siege of Guaimara, Cuba.
 The siege of Guaimaro was begun on Oct. IT, by General Calixto Garcia, with 1,O50 infantry and cavalry, and three pieces of artillery. In reply to an order to surrender, issued by Gen. eral Gomez to the Mayor of the beleag- uered town, the Spanish forts opened fire upon the insurgents. Major Os- good was then ordered by General Gar cia to open a return fire on the Span ish garrison.
 Osgood was we'll known in the foot ball world, in which for several years he played an important part. He was a student of Cornell University from 1888 to 1892, and while there held the position of half-back on the university eleven. In 1892 he entered the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, where he again occupied the position of half back, participating in several games with Harvard and Princeton.
 Some time ago Osgood went to Cuba enlisting in the Cuban army. By his bravery he was soon promoted. He is the son of United States army of ficer who for many years was station. ed at St. Louis. Major Osgood was o1 an athletic build and weighed 1S( pounds.

TERRIBLE BOILER EXPLOSION.

IL Results in the Death of Four Men,
While Another Narrowly Escaped.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa. Jan. Three men
were killed by boiler explosion at the
Law colliery of the Pennsylvania Coal
company, at Avoca, yesterday. The dead
are; Thomas Mcdonald machinist, aged
52 years; Alexander Young, pump run
ner, aged 80 years; John Rolls, carpenter,
aged 80 years. Fireman John Blase was
slightly injured
The explosion occurred in one of the
huge boilers in the big boiler house of the
company, and was of such terrific force
that it completely demolished the building
and tore Mcdonald and Young literally to
pieces, scattering their remains in every
direction. Pondorous pieces of iron were
hurled many yards, and the air pressure
broke windows at distance of 200 feet.
Every house in the village was shaken,
and the terrified inhabitants rushed out Of
their homes in wild confusion.
The cause of the disaster was the scare
ity of water in the boilers. That which
exploded had been condemned some time
ago by an inspector. The boilers were set
in solid brick work A few minutes before
the accident Fireman Blase entered the
boiler room and his attention was i'm
mediately arrested by a peculiar movement
among the bricks over the top of the boil
ers. Without delay he fed from the place
and sought safety in u coal shed Hardly
