Incendiary Attempt to Burn the

IPhoe1ir Gazet,s.

-4 4astardl y attempt to burn the Pima county court house at Tucson, Tuesday night, was frustrated only by prompts ness of the fire department and the fact that Judge George R. Davis was pres. ent in the building at the time. Judge Davis was writing Tn his chambers, and about 10 o'clock he heard 6 crack ling noise and running to the hallway observed that the entire building wss enveloped in dense cloud of smoke. He was the only person in the building at the time and he rushed out and gave the alarm. Frantic efforts were made by the tailor and others to liberate the prisoners. They tried to free the doors but they would not yield and it was only when the ladders came that some one was enabled to climb over the wallis and unlock the doors. The prisoners howled hideously, but they were re- moved to the city jail in safety.
 This is one of the most dastardIy deeds even attempted Tn Pima county, and if the flames had been allowed a few minutes more headway the court house would probably have burne the ground and the incarcerated peo in the prison would have perisr-~
 It is claimed that it was the warR oy a person who was interested in having the records of Pima county destroyed and the officers think they can locate the individual.
