MUSEUM OF WONDERFUL THINGS
The Crowds Throngins BalKe's Big
 Curio Store.

Between the immense stock and the immense crowd of patrons 1t is diffi- cult just new to get about in Balke's Big Curio store, 31. 33 and B West Adams street. Then there i5 the rush of packing gifts which hundreds have bought for friends in different parts of the country.
 There is hardly a limit to the variety of valuable beautiful and curious arti- cles which may be obtained there. There Is one line which has not been alluded to in a series of articles regard ing the Big Busy Curio store and that is the Indian basket department Per haps such a stock of baskets has never before been gathered together. There are the baskets of the Pimas. the Apaches, the Navajo wedding and medicine baskets, the work of the Tu- lares the sacred baskets and Dlacques of the Moquis, the productions of the Chimuevi Apaches, the Alaskan Indi- ans and those of Washington and Ore gon. Tn fact every known weave of h. dian basket may be found there from the smallest to the largest.
 Yesterday there was received large stock of applique pO.nsetta pillows than which there is no more appropriate gift for the Christmas tune. InCy Il2ke up the finest line ever shown in Phoenix and range in price from s to SS. There is also a large supply of kodak albums.
 It is impossible to accurately describe this particular holiday stock. It is So lar~e and there is such a wide variety of articles many of which have hardly been heard of in this part of the coun- try The Fig Curio store is museum of curics. one of the show places ot the valley. People from any part of the country might spend an interesting two hours there and see things which they had never seen before. The whole west from the south of old Mexico to beyond the Canadian line has been rau- sacked for the holiday trade of Phoe- nix. All the articles have been per soralIy selected by Mir. Bake in an eX tensivc tour of out of the way places along the Pacific coast.
 Some of the curious things have been found nearer home but they are none the less curious. Yesterday there was received the head of an immense white mountain sheep recently found by the members of an engineering corps at the foot of q cliff in the mountains east of the city. There was also brought in yesterday the head and huge antlers of a red deer found in the HauchuCaz.

GOVERNOR FREES LAD
FROM CONVICT MINES
Indianapolis Youth Also Secures
Release from Living He'll as
Christmas Gift.
TO HIS AID

jackson and Hinton were paroled by the
Governor the day before Christmas oh rep
of Governor Durbin.'
This telegram, received by the Journal
from Montgomery. Ala. last night tells the
story of the end of a long effort on the part
of friends and relatives of an Indianapolis
and Muncie boy 10 secure their release from
the terrible convict mines of Alabama, TO
which they were sentenced on a trivial
charge, and for which they have already
served one year of three years sentence.
The convict mines of Alabama are the
shame of that State, and the two lads,
George Hinton. fifteen years old, formerly
of Muncie, and Roscoe Jackson, seventeen
years old, of this city, have suffered ior-
lures in them in spite of the earnest and un-
ceasing efforts of Indiana friends to secure
their release.
The story told by last evenings message
is that the end of the long effort in their
behalf has come at last, with their re-
lease by the Governor of Alabama, on the
earnest solicitation of Governor Durbin.
The Jackson family, of which the boy
Roscoe was a member, moved TO California
six weeks ago from their former home at
526 Leon street.

EARLY FIRE CUTS SOUTH
|LL|NO|S-STREET STORE
Bresette-Dugan Company Suffers
Total Loss by Flames
Which Eat Up Stock.
RESCUE OF ANIMALS

Fire was discovered this morning shortly
after II o'clock in the basement of the
three-story building at 133 South Illinois
street occupied by the Bresette-Pugh Com
pany, manufacturers of surgical instru-
ments. The fire department was on the
scene within a few minutes after the call
and found the building full of black smoke.
which compelled them to fight the fire from
the cellar doors on the outside of the build
ing.
The two upper stories of the building are
occupied by the Oxford Hotel. At the time
the fire broke out there were four occu-
pants of the hotel, all escaping with their
belongings.
Although there was not much blaze to
the fire, there will be almost total loss to
the stock of the Bresette-Pugh Company.
The smoke was dense that il was inn
possible to enter the lower part of the
building and the firemen were forced to
flood the cellar. The progress was slow.
1t was o'clock before they succeeded in
locating the blaze, which is supposed TO
have originated from accumulated rubbish
IN the basement near the furnace. The
Bresette-Pugh Company carried a stock
valued at $4,000, partially insured, while
the furniture of the hotel amounted TO
about 800, not insured.
AS the fremen proceeded in the fight
against the black pail of heavy smoke
blazes could be seen in the back part of
the cellar, which grew as a draft was let
in upon them. At one time the whole III
terror of the Bressette- Pueh Company be-
came glowing mass of flames The heavy
lines Of water, however, were turned on
them and they were smothered The fire
department concentrated their efforts on
the cellar, where the fire originated but the
more they fought the heavier the clouds of
smoke poured out into their faces. Soon
after the fire was discovered the building
became thick with smoke from top to bot
tom and it was impossible for the firemen
to stay in the upper rooms but a minute
al a time.
There vas great CONSERVATION i'm the ex-
hibit the hall of monographs and picture
machines. which is just next to the Bres-
sette-Pugh Company, when the fire broke
out. The small horse SnOoZer, famous al
the Elks' Mardi Gras. is the property of
this exhibit and is kept in the cellar under
the Exhibit. The cellar was filled with
his way along the way and saved the lit
tie animal. He was taken into a furnace
room of nearby building and seemed
none the worse for his experience. The
dog Buster also of the Mardi Gras, was
also in the fire. He is kept in the rear
room of the Exhibit and was brought out
several times. but was bent on running
back into his smoky room. He finally
left and will probably be found smothered
TO death this morning.
Severe loss will also be suffered by Chas.
mediately beside the smOke-cOnsumed
building. He carries about $1,000 worth of
stock, fully insured.
The building is an old one, and will prob
ably suffer almost a total loss as a result Of
the fire. 1t is owned by DR.. Waterman. The
fire discovered by Night Watchman
