While engaged In this work they were
fired upon by about thirty Indians pos ed

lasting three hours, when a heavy storm
came up and put an end to hostillties.
Fortunately none of the prospectors were
wounded, and what damage, if any, they
inflicted upon the enemy they had no
means OF knowing.
Many of the Indians were plainly seen
in full outline against the sky, but the
prospectors seem not 10 have been familiar

Darkness followed closely upon the heels
of the storm, and the prospectors, believ-

where they were outnumb bered fully five
to one, pulled out into the hills that night,
abandoning their fourteen burros and
most of their other effects. The next

HUNDREDS FIGHTING FIRE.
Timber Tracts Along the North
Coast of Puget Sound Swept
by Flames.

TACOMA, WASH, Aug. 22.-The annual
forest fires are in progress from one end
of Puget Sound to the other. Small
buildings in various localities have been
burned. A cloud of smoke overhangs
the north coast, and through it the sun
appears only as huge ball of fire. North
of Whatcom fires have damaged a great
body of timber that flames had not
touched in many years.
The farm buildings of Alfred Thomp-
son, near Olympia, have been burned, re-
sulting in loss of $500. Much wood and
bark piled IN the woods for winter use is
in great danger if the forest fires are not
soon extinguished by fall of rain. Over
near Mount Tacoma the fires have been
gradually working nearer the mountain
base, and considerable timber in the
Washington forestry reserve will be
bur Eed.
Several families at Mill Plain, Cowlitz
County, have found it necessary TO re-
move their household effects from their
dwellings to places of safety. For two
days they were hourly expecting TO see
their houses and other Improvements
destroyed. Every one in the neigh bor-
hood has been fighting the flames for
three days.
Yesterday evening it was reported the
fire had been turned from its course
toward the lruit orchards on the plain,
and that the danger in that direction
was thought to be over, though the con-
nagratlon WAS still burning tercely fur

Six Arizona Prospectors Fight a

DEMING, n. MEX, Aug 22.-News of
what appears to have been a serious breach
of the recent Yaqui peace conciave has
reached here from across the border. Six
Arizona prospectors were set upon By Ia
dians and barely escaped with their lives.
Billy Campbell, a cowboy we'll known

Yaqui River. After visiting most of the
Mormon settlements in Western Chihua-
hua Campbell and Dooley wandered to the
Bavispe River, where they fell in With
four other prospectors from Arizona, and
thereafter the six men remained together
and proceeded down the western slope to
a point near where the Bavispe empties

The six men with their fourteen burros

The Loneliness of
A Large CITY.
THE evening sermon by the Rev.

THE evening sermon by the Rev.
Robert Mackenzie in the First Pres
byterian Church last evening was
on "The Loneliness of Great City," 1t
was discourse on the Ionesomeness of a
stranger who finds himself in a large city
where there is no one to whom he can
turn. He illustrated what that feeling is,
and then declared that the stranger turns
TO Christian congre cations, and often he is
not recognized, though he goes two, three
or more times. He said that the me m bers of
congregation should always be ready to
extend welcome to stranger and never
allow any one to have it to say that he
called at this church or that church and
because he was a stranger there was no
one to welcome him. He also said that
the stranger should make himself known
and then he would soon discover that he
need not be lonely in great city.

From Darkness
Unto the Lieht.

AT Washington Hall, in Red Mems
building, the Rev. J. S. David of the
Sweden borg Mission Society preached on
The Ointment of Spittle" yesterday
morning. He said in substance:
THE Lord spat upon the ground, made
clay OF the spittle. anointed the eyes OF
i the blind, commanded him to go and
wash and he came seeing. Here is
picture OF the soul in its transi tion from dark
ness TO light. The act of splitting upon the
ground denotes the descenV of vital truth to
the plane of sensuous thought, where it be-
comes i'm bedded in the symbols of earth. The
amounting of the eyes Herewith is the adap-
tatlon OF divine truth through earthly SYM
ools 10 the blind understandings OF men. To
go anc wash is to live in obedience to the truth
thus adapted to their states In the use of the
truth that we can comprehend our eyes are
opened to see deeper truth. We cannot ad-
vance beyond any given condition until we
nave made proper use OF what we have in
that condition. We cannot open our eyes to
the light OF the internal sense of the word
until we have purified our outer life with the
lower forms of truth. Truth used becomes a
gateway 10 higher truth; truth abused be-
comes an 1mpregnabe barrier 10 our progress
We must wash in order to see.

SOUGHT DEATH
FOR uAUGHT
G. q. Becker Puts an End
to His Life for No
Apparent Cause.
Returned to His Home in Good
Spirits and Took Rough
on Rats.

G. H. Becker, a brother of ex- Super
visor Becker, who resided with his family
al s35 Fillmore street, died early yester-
day morning from dose of Rough on
Rais, taken The evening before with sui
cidal intent.
The deceased returned to his home after
his days labor in his store, apparently in
the best OF health. Shortly after his ar
rival he was taken violently ill and on be-
ing closely questioned, acknowledged that
he had taken poison. A physician was
Immediately summoned and an antidote
was administered. The poison had take n
too strong hold upon him, however, and
after lingering in a semi i-conscious condi-
ton Tor several hours he died.
The cause of the grocer's act is as much
OF a mystery TO his family as it is to the
world at large. He was the owner of
property valued at almost $500 and en-
loved prosperous, good paying bu,iness.
his property, it is said, was mortgaged
Tor $4,000, but he was not pressed for
realty money.
he was not respondent and never drank
heavily enough to blunt his senses. and in
consequence his mad act cannot be laid AT
the door of alcohol. He leaves widow
and two minor children.

"How Man Is to
Be United to God. "

At the morning services held at ST.
Mary's Church, on California street, yes
terday, the sermon was preached by Rev.
Arthur NJ. Clark, G. S. P. He took Tor
the subject of his discourse, "How Man Is
to Be United tn God" Iu substance
Father Clark said:
THE real and true life OF man is in that
part OF him which is invisible, intangi-
Il BILE and maud bic to the senses, and
which is called the soul or the spirit
This soul Is made for happiness, and the hap
plness thereof consists in its union with the
Iount from whence it sprung and in an inti-
mate knowledge of him who gave t being
can never die. Consequently its life is of far
more Importance than the life of the body,
which ought to be subject to it. We do not
consider the life OF the body unimportant
but when we compare ii to the life of the soul
1t cannot stand in the same category. 1t is
impor tant 10 attend 10 the life of our bodies
only in so far as the attent ton helps US to
cherish and foster the lar more important lite
of our sous.
The life of the soul is, so to speak, spark of
the life of our creator. God has breathed into
US the breath OF life, and we have become
living souls
But since we are free, rational and intelligent
beings, the true Lille OF the soul is conditioned
by lis creator upon certain contingencies The
soul ought TO follow the rules laid down tor
its living, and this for three reasons: First
because this Great tor is perfect truth, and the
soul desires truth as one OF its principal ends
Second, because God is perfectly just, and
jus tice Is in harmony with the desire and
longing of the soul. Third, because God is
perfectly good, aud the beginning and end of
all happiness, aud the soul desires and longs
for happiness and goodness.
1t VIII be seen from this that the soul ought
to be and can be united to God at its last end
And the means by which this is to be done
must be OF the greatest interest 10 all men
who use their reason rightly. The religion of
God which he has revealed to man has ever
taught the union, and the means to attain 1t
1t has constantly proposed. 1t is for Ihis th at
God, when he was on the earth 1900 years ago.
organized church with an i'm perish h a ple con-
sti uttOn and certain gifts which will make it
last one and the same un til the end OF time.
The means are the sacrameuts which unite
the soul 10 God by the power OF God (or man
Is unable TO do this for himself unaided) {;
which restore the union ii it be dissolved by
mans unfaithfulness to The conditions pro-
posed. and which finally strengthen the union
that it is morally impossible to break it,
Let man take these means and use them as
God has directed by the church which he
founded and his union with GOD will last be-
yond the grave.
