 Work of An incend,arv

On Christmas morning about 1 q. n. ths Tombstone popuiaco were aroused by alarms of fire. The con- fagration proved to be iu the rear of Yspls's stors and was the ii fisndish and malicious " ork of some firebus who has been trying to fire our c,iy. T.s fire pros ei to bs ,,i sstrous ore, Il 6 entire rear of the store and candy kitci.en is wrecked while tke damage to go,ds in the store from wa.sr and emoke will reach Si 200 The reer yarl oi s. M. Barrow's place s1joining was also burned and smoke whica fill. ed the big store dam ,gsd ths stock to an extent not yet ascertailsd but will fso: up to . considerable amount, The fire was fierce and but for the he. ro:c work o! tine firemen She entire block would have bean consumed Mir Yspls sustained several serious b1rns and bruises while trying to ex- tinguish the flames. H. hal per mitted his fire insurance to lapse re- gently therefore the loss falls quite heavily upon him. MT Barrow was lightly insured.
 Abou.two hours after the above fire another alarm WAS sent ia and proved to be . vacant building near Fly's Photogrsnh gallery. Thi. fire was set on the inside, soms chips and papers being found in the corner showing unmistsk ably the work and design of the fire fend. 4 man was seen ruuning from a house on Allen street near 3rd by John Martin about 6 30 .. m. An in- ve.;igasion showed that whit,led s,ieks and papers were placei in ths corner of the building. The firsbug ovI. iently inteaded to set ths building ablazs when frightened away by the coming Of Mir Martin Bsing minus one leg MT Martin could not give chase.
 Last nigh. ap attempt to burn the old Oriental corLor WIS evidently made. The only th,us prsvsnt ng tho same was the burning oa, of ths kindlins before the wood work had be- come ignited. rhs fire had been started in a small shed in tsa rear oI the building and the scorehed siies uf tue shed Is yet to be seen. Several other places are reported where there are evidence of the visitation ef the ipcendiary and his hurried departure before hs hal got the plaza under way.
