Prescott, Arizona, Burned.

Prescott, Arizona, July l6.-The most
disastrous fire in the history of the town
started in row of buildings known as
the Scopel block on Montezuma street.
Every building on the west side OF the
plaza as far north as Gurley street, in
Guiding the Burke hotel, is destroyed. The
fire is spreading, and there is no telling
where it will stop. The principal busi.
ness houses SO far destroyed are those OF
Sam d. Hill, ID. Levy and the Ed block.
The Courier office is destroyed and the
Joun i Miner office is in danger. Firenen
are powerle>s, as there is no water Over
a dozen stores We're blown up, without
effect. II now looks as if the entire north
end of town would go. The loss at pres
ent is not less than S500,OOO to 100000

Later.

Prescott, Ariz., July l6.-A scene OF
the greatest desolation and feeling OF
deepest gloom pervade the town. All
that remains of the principal business
portion OF the town Is totterlng walls
and piles Of charred and burning debris.
The fire which started at l0:43 o'clock
Saturday night was not under control un.
til 3 o'clock Sunday morning, when the
fire fighters went a considerable distance
in advance of the flames and blew up the
buildings on the south side of Goodwin
street, preventing fire from crossing that
street The most con MS rvative estimates OF
the total losses are from 81 100000 to 81 :
100000. The burned district embraces
five blocks, i'll which were located the prln-
cipal mercantile houses, both telegraph
Offices, four hotels and every saloon and
every restaurant except one in the town
besides scores of private residences.
To add to the prevailing gloom high
wind has prevailed all day, sending
smoke, dust and burning embers in every
direction, requiring the greatest vigilance
to prevent another outbreak of the
flames. Owing to the chaotic condition
existing today it is impossible to obtain
an accurate account OF the losses or IN
diyidual insurance. From interviews with
insurance agents, the total insurance
does not exceed S2J0.0o0.

Y0UTSEY'S TRIAL.
IL Goes On with the Defendant An
parentIy Unconscious of the
Proceedings.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 17.-If Henry
Youtsey heard a word uttered in his
trial Tuesday he gave not the slight
est indication OF it by any movement
of the hands, the head, eyes or lips.
So far as anyone in the courtroom
could tell, he never uttered a word
all day He was the unconscious
actor in another realistic scene in the
afternoon when he was brought into
the courtroom proper, lying on his
bed. His eyes and mouth were tight
ly closed and he looked every whit a
dead man, while Col. Nelson in a loud
voice asked him how old he was and
where he lived. The defense present.
ed some strong testimony coutradic-
tory OF the prosecution witnesses and
say they have something stronger for
to-day, when they expect to rest their
case. Jim Howard will go on the
stand and swear Youtsey did not let
him in Powers Office that morning and
that he was not even in the building.
Youtsey's symptoms are worse. His
temperature increased and his pulse
was greatly accelerated. The ply
sicians think he IL in no immediate
danger, but a sudden change for tina
worse may come at any time.
