DISASTROUS FIRE
TOmbs tone Suffers From the
 Work of An lncendiarv

On Christmas morning about 4 a. D,. the Tombstone populsce were aroused by alarms of fire. The con- hagration proved ,o be in the rear of faIiles store and was the fendi-h and malicious work of some 6rebug who has been trying to fire our city. The fire proved to be d disastrous one, the entire rear of tho stOre and candy kitcLen is wrecked while the damage to goods in ths store from wa.sr and smoke will reach $l 200 The rear yard Of s. M. Bsrrow's place adjoining was also burned and smoke whicn fill. ed the big store dam ,gsd the stock to an extent not yet ascertained but will leo. up to a considerable amount. The fire was force and but for the he. rO;o work O! ths firemen she entire block would have been consumed Mir Ysple sustsined several serious brrns and bruises while trying to ex- tinguish the flames. Hs had per. mitted his fire insurance to lapse re- gently therefore the loss falls quite heavily upon him. Mir Barrow was lightly insured.
 Ahou:two hours after the above fire another alarm was sent in and proved to be a vacant building near F!y's Photograph gallery. Thi- fire was set on the inside, some chips and papers being found in the corner showing un mistak ably the work and design Of the fire titnd.
 A man was seen running from a house on Allen street near 3rd by John Martin about 30 c. m. An in vss,igasion showed that whittled sticks and papers wtre plac Il in the corner of the building. The fiebug evl- aertly intended to set the building ahlaze when frightened away by the coming Of MT Martin Baing minus one leg Mir Martin could no, give chase.
 Las: nigh. ap attempt to burn the old Oriental cnrLor was evidently made. The only thIng prevent nG the same was the burning out of the kind!ing before ,he woodwork had be- come ignit-d. rhs fire had toe en -tsrted in small shed in ts. rear of the building and the scorebed siles of the shed IS yet tn be ssen. Several othe. places are reported where t5ore are evidences of the visitation ef the ipcendisry and his hurried departure before he had got the blaze under way.
 The citizens have bee ome thorough ly aroused and their wrath will find culmins.ion in wresking vengeance on the vicioua prohigste who is commit ting these iucendi,ris:, by hanging him to the nesres. telegraph pole shou!d he bo caught in his work.
