tion to them. and had gotten in front
Of the engine when Flagman Winn saw
him and pulled him of OF the track

Fire in Old Town.

About o'clock Tuesday morning the residence of J. II. Rumsey in old town was discovered in flames and was burned to the ground. Mir. Rumsey, who was the only occupant at the time of the fire, was awakened by the smoke and had only time to escape from the house before the flames filled the room. In leaving the room he gathered the clothes he wore the day before and the family Bible. All the rest of the furni- ture and clothing was destroyed. Owing to the deep snow the fire department could not respond to the alarm, and had they attempted to do so they could not have reached the fire before the house was burned. The loss is hard one for Mir. Rumsey, as all he had was de- stroyed. His loss is estimated at $500, on which he had $4OO insurance.

Flagstaff the First.

Last week the Western Union Tele- graph company put the first synchron- izing clock in at Prescott. In reading the account of the event in the Prescott papers the reader is led to believe it is the first and only clock of the kind in the territory, but such is not the case.
 The first synchronizing clock in Ari- zona was put in the business house of w. c. Henry by J. F.. Palmer. the man ager of the Western Union Telegraph office at this place. The date was July I, 1891
 At one time there were fifteen of the clocks in use here, but the number has been reduced by fire until there are now eleven. The timepieces are regulated each hour by master clock in the Western Union office. All the clocks T are given the standard time once each day. it being sent from the Washington observatory.
 .Gf The clocks are a great convenience to the public, as they always give the cor rect standard time. THE SUN is glad to know that Prescott is getting them, but Flagstaff was the first town in Arizona where they became of general use, and we trust that the Prescott papers will copy this item.

An EnglishInan has patented ham

the upper end of the back, which is pro-
vided with ratchet and spring pawl.
so the seat can be made tight or loose

To convert an ordinary batntub into

cover is placed over the edges with an
aperture for the neck, and the med
icinal ingredients are placed in per-
meable bag suspended from the under
side of the cover.
A Massachusetts man has invented a
key-fastener. which consists of n
U-shaped piece of metal which slips
over the knob spindle and carries a
plate at either end, with screw to
draw them together and clamp the
key SO it cannot be turned from the
outside.
Hats and caps can be left on new
hook without danger of theft, sliding
bolt being fitted with a lock and key,
by which the garments are clamped
tightly and cannot be released until the
owner inserts the key to draw the bolt.
Automatic fans are attached to a
newly-patented rocking chair and are
operated by two crank-arms, each hav.

THE HOLLY BAND.

Too much praise cannot be given
the Holly band for the part thev took
in the celebration exercises. Coming
as they did away from their homes and
business early in the morning and only
returning when the last bit of amuse-
ment had frayed out.
Tht Holly band is composed of tie
| best talent of the town, and those who
came here were Messrs. Engstrom,
McMurtrv. Milford, Mickey. swayze,
Wood. Daley, Cox and Harden.
Arriving early they entered into the
fray with music "a playing" and led
the march to the school house where
they rendered several beautiful seec-
tions which was highly appreciated by
the audience and for which they receiv-
ed many compliments.
During the entire day they eniiyened
the time and were always ready and
more than willing to do all in their
power to make the dav one of pleas
for all.
at night they gave grand hau at
the Silver Star hotel and for pretty
ladies and gentlemanly men and good
order it has not been equalled in the
city of Coolidge for many years.
The bows after paying all expenses
cleared the neat sum of $500 which
will go quite ways in purchasing sup
plies which they need. Coolidge ap-
preciates the efforts of the Holly band
and we trust the friendship which
exists between the two towns will con-
tinue and grow more so year after
year.
Whenever the town of Holly has any
kind OF "doins" and wants any assist
ance all that Ia necessary is TO call up
op our citizens and they will respopd
