A TELEPHONIC AFFAIR
In Which a Wire Was Burnt
Out by Personal Opinion.
General Sherman piCked Up HO'
Receiver-Subjecfed TO Strong
Cross Fire But He Replied Gal
Ientiy for a Nan Surprised.

The telephone line between the resi-
liam Christy was burned out on Sun
day by General NJ. H. Sherman. That
section of the system between the
home of Col Christy and the residence
of John o. Dunbar was also destroyed
and the girl at the central office was
Jared. Altogether it was the most re-
markable phenomenon that ever oc-
CURED in Phoenix since the telephone
system was introduced. Persons IA
miliar with the workings of telephone
plants elsewhere, say they never heard
of anything like it.
After the morning services at the
First NJ E. church where General
Sherman had been worshipping and
absorbing spiritual strength against
the ordeal last night. he went home
with the family of Col. William
Christy for dinner. Mr.. Leitch, VINO
lives a short distance beyond, also
stopped there on his way home from
town. Mr.. Leitch, as one of the pro
prietors of the Gazette, and General
Sherman. as the sole proprietor of the
project to make the Phoenix water
company a burden on the city of Phoe-
nix for the next forty years. engaged
in a conversation on the worldly SUD
iect of water works and the ungodly
and violent course of John o. Dunbar
toward General Sherman. Mr.. Leitch
deprecated the fiery and untamed at
titude assumed by Mr.. Dunbar and
promised to call him down. The gen
eral said no, let him alone; he didn't
care a tinkersdam, or something like
that what Dunbar said about him
mo" continued General Sherman
warming to his subject, II don't care
a damn what any of the Phoenix pa
pers say I don't read 'em; don't look
at 'em; don't even open 'em. No
damn 'em, I don't even know they
exist Mr. Leitch soon went away
promising to call Dunbar off anyhow
To a better understanding Of what
hereinafter ensued, a scientific anc
geographical explanation is assisting,
If not necessary. The homes of Mr..
Leitch, Col. Christy and Mr.. Dunbar
all lie west or northwest of the city.
Mr.. Leitch farthest out and Mr.. Dun
bars nearest town. They all have
telephones served by the same wire, 50
that if a member Of either household
were INSCRIPTIONS, he could overhear
any conversation between members Of
the other two.
Soon after Mr.. Leitch had time to
get home the telephone at Col.

Gently taken into the corporation an
alarm was turned in. The fire depart
ment made start. but lost interest
when they discovered the scene of ac-
ton was in the rural district between
the city. Had they continued their
journey they could have rendered no
assistance, first because an absence of
alarm boxes necessitated sending the
news in by slow freight; and secondly,
because there wasn't a hydrant within
half a mile.
The burning building proved to be the
handsome residence property. occupied
by Mr. z. L. Andrws and family. but
owned by a nonresident 1t was a
brick structure of several rooms and
rather high for a one-story house and
altogether one of the best properties in

total loss. though the greater part of
the furniture and belongings of the oc-
cTpants were saved by the neighbOrs.
who responded quickly to the first
alarm and worked faithfully as long as
the house could be safely entered.
The origin of the fire is unknown. but
those first to arrive say that when they
broke in the flames were confined to
the rear rooms and seemed to be in the
roof
The family were all absent when the
fire broke oIt being at the residence of
d. l.. Murray on East Van Buren,
street, in attendance upon the wedding
of I. H. Andrews. son of Mr. E. L. An
drews, to Miss Lillian Murray This
happy occasion was most ruthlessly
disturbed by the fire bell and as may
well be imagined the disturbance was
no less when the full particulars were
learned.
1t is believed the house was insured.
but to what amount was not learned
last night.
Had Bennett addition seen fit to join
in the good work CT extending the city
limits a year ago when the matter was
first projected, instead OF blocking the
wheels of progress. the alarm last night
would no doubt have reached head
quarters in time for the fire company
to render assistance. But some day
Bennett addition will get tired and
want to come in, if it is not all burned
up, and perhaps by that time the city
will own its water works and every
block will be adorned with a fire plug.

When the rampant British lion Long Britannia's naughty boast Learned and gave those valued lessons On our broad Atlantic coast. What tiny band of heroes For the nation still was young Clustered round their old time leader, The nations first love, Washington. Rich, the heritage gave us,
 Passed from father unto son; Till the boys went forth to battle In the days of sixty-one. Then came Custer with his forces, In the fight against the sioux, Adding luster--adding glory, To the old. the honored blue. Then this year so over-crowded. Heard again the clarion call, And the hearts that thrilled in sixty, Gave again their treasured all. How our old impatient veterans Longed once more the blue to don. But "Old Time" had claimed his tribute So they cheered our "Terrors'' on. But when talking of our heroes. We would speak from bias free; Men who struggled for the Union, Not more brave than those with Lee. Cheer the boys who stayed in Tampa, Waiting orders to press on; They were just as brave and daring As our boys who won San Juan.

The territorial reform school build ing at Flagstaff is a monument of folly and misguided judgment. It has cost Arizona about s35,OOO for the founda- tion, walls and roof. It is stated enough money is now in the treasury to com plete the building, but long since it has been decided that Arizona has no earthly use for territorial reform school. The citizens of Flagstaff are now asking that the present legislature establish a second territorial Normal school at Flagstaff and that this "white elephant" building be used for that purpose. We know of no better use to which the building could be put.-Gra- ham Bulletin.

Two Significant Votes.

day passed the following resoiutlon oy 6 vote of 45 to in the house, and 30 to l in the senate.
 Whereas. equal suffrage has been in operation in Colorado for five year, dur ing which time the women have exer' cised the privileges as generally as men. with the result that better can didates have been selected for oftice, methods of election have bee purified, the character of legislation improved, civic intelligence increased, and wo- manhood developed to great useful ness by political responsibility. There fore be it
 Resolved, by the house of represen- tatives, the senate concurring, that, in view of these results the enfranchise- ment of woman in every state and ter ritory is recommended as measure tending to the advancement of higher and better social order.
 The only senator voting in the nega- tive was Mir. Barela, Spaniard or Spanish Mexican, if we may judge by his name.
 Eastern papers opposed to equal sun rage have tried to break the force Of this resolution by limiting that 1t was merely piece of political clap-trap. but there are only two possible expla- nations of so large an affirmative vote: Either the legislators meant what they said, or they said 1t because they thougt it would please their constituents. AS Col. T. W. HigginsOn says, Saul Is either among the prophets. or among the profits" In either case, the vote is decisive as to the prevailing senti- ment in Colorado.
 The day after the Colorado legislature recommended other states to enfran-. chise their women, the legislature of Oregon adopted an amendment to grant full full suffrage to women, by vote of 48 to 6 in the house, and 9 to in the senate. Whether this was the re- suit of the Colorado resolution or not, the co-incident is significant.

in the lower Arkansas valley for
several days. He came west to

His intention was to build and op-
crate canning plant. The Ar

his dreams and he has just an
nounced that a $4,000 canning
plant will be the result OF his IN

land is of no value to the state at

missioner and superintendent of
water works at salary of SIS per
month. There are too many city
officials in La Junta. One man
could very easily discharge the du-

missioner in this city without over
taxing his energy. The Offices of
clerk and water commissioner
might also be combined.
