The laborious work of selecting a
jury commenced almost Immediately
after the prisoners entered the court
room and proceeded slowly until noon.
The jury box was filed by the first
twelve men of the regular panel and
one by one they were subjected to a
rigid examination by the district at
torney and the jury box was almost
depleted before he got around.
ThesecOnd. man examined was excused
because he had formed an opinion and
the third because he was opposed to
capital punishment. The first ruling
make WAS on the eligibility of a Juror,
who asserted that he had reao the
newspaper reports of the case and had
therefrOm formed an opinion. Judge
Fall, OF the defense, objected to the
Juror being excused on that account
and the court ordered the juror passed
until later, when he was excused.
At 30 O'Clock the regular panel
had been exhausted and the court an

MANY FIRE
''N''' &C ACCIDENTS
George Pierson Run Into by
Hook and Ladder Horses.
GEMOETZ ALSO HURT.
On Turning Into Oregon st. Horses
Run Into Window of Newman's
Bank. Vendor Has Mira

culOus Escape.
AS the hook and ladder truck was
dashipg past the Mills block on its way
to the Rogers fire Saturday evening,
one of the horses struck q man who
him toward the sidewalk with terrific
force; the man proved to be George
Pierson.
He was picked up by bystanders and
carried in q nearby store. He was Ia
ken to the Hotel Dieu, and after an ex-
animation of his wounds, it was learn
ed that he had sustained fracture of
the femur, q compound fracture of the
right leg above the knee, and an ugly
cut on the left leg. There were no in
ternsl injuries.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
The team.attached to the hose cart
ran into the window OF Newman's bank
facing Oregon street, and Leon &C.
cart had his foot crushed between the
fender of the back wheel and the tele-
graph pole on the corner.
The driver of the hose cart, w. A.
Mitchell, says that he swas coming
down San Antonio street at q rapid
rate and as he turned into Oregon st.
he tried to avoid a wagon standing
there and in doing so he forced one of
the horses up on the pavement. Both
of the horses were badly cut and the
peanut man on the corner had most
miraculous escape from being run
over.
Late Saturday afternoon the fire de-
partment was called out to extinguish
slight blaze which had started in
Rogers's candy store. The Oil from an
overhsnging gasoline lamp leaked out
and caught fire.
Mr.. Rogers, seeing flames shoot up
e ceiling, took the lamp down and
threw it into the street before the en-
Rines arrived. No damage was
done. -
Shortly after the Rogers fire the
engines were called up to respond to
slight blaze occssioned by the burning
of some clothes hanging on clothes
lines on the roof back of Matthias store
Cor. Overland and Ell Paso SITS.
1t ia not positively known how the
fire started, but it is be eveo that the
sparks from the Troy laundry set fire
to the clothes.
The department made another run
this morning. This time the alarm
came from south Ell Paso street and
when the department arrived there
they found lot of bed clothing On fire
and bucket brigade actively at work.
