DR.. H. l.. Williams, coach of the Min

game, but DR.. Williams says that, in
spite of this statement there Is still
a possibility that the contest may take
place as originally arranged.
The attitude of California is puz-

 FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.. Dec. 31, 1902. MR- H. c. HIBBEN,
 Clerk Board of Supervisors, Co- conino County, Arizona
 DEAR SIR.-The retiring board of supervisors wishes to thank you for the assistance you have given to them during their term of office, both in the manner you have per formed the duties of your position, and in the outside information you have afforded the board. Never in the history of the county have the books of the supervisors office been so we'll and competently kept, and whatever good record this board may have made during its incumbency we feel is largely due to the efficient manner in which you have aided and supported our work at every turn.
 We wish to especially thank you for the courageous and energetic assistance you have given the board in the matter of tax assessments, and rticnlar1v On the railroad lands. You have not only per formed faithfully all the duties re- quired of you by law, but you have gone outside the required routine, time and again, to protect the interests of the county in the fight with the railroad and other corpor- ations owning these land grants. We highly appreciate such action on your part and wish co earnestly commend you for the same, as well as for the numberless items of in- formation relative to general assess ments which you have always so readily furnished us. In short, we feel that your service to us, as a board, has been invaluable.
 Wishing you a happy and pros porous New Year, we are,
 Sincerely yours,
 J. C. PHELAN, Chairman
 GEO. BABBITT,

OF JOHN ANDERSON AND HOUSE
is DESTROYED.
Losses Are Total as There Was no In
surance. Mrs. Fultz' Loss is Between
$1,000 and $4,000, and the Other
Amounts to $1,000 or More.
One Man Injured, But
Not Seriously.

Wolf Summit had two serious fires
Thursday afternoon and the loss to the
owners of the destroyed property is a
considerable amount.
The first was at the home OF John An
derson, an employe of the South Penn
Oil company, and was the result of pc
culiar accident. The other WAS at the
home OF Mrs. William Fultz.
Anderson undertook to make d gas
connection in one of thc rooms Of his
residence without turning the gas Off.
Some time was spent in making the
connection and this permitted much gas
to escape from the pipe. Thoughtlessly
Mr.. Anderson struck match to light
the fire after heh ad finished the connec
ton. The room was full Of gas and a
terrific explosion occurred and The house
was almost instantly in flames. II was
a one.story frame and burned quickly.
None of The household gods were saved,
and it was total loss. The house be-
longed to Michael Dolan. The loss tG
Anderson is quite serious, as he is a
young man who had invested all he had
in household goods. This fire occurred
between u and o'clock. The loss is
Sl,5O0 or more.
Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt.
Mr.. Anderson was scorched by the ex-
plosion, but his injuries are not at all
serious. His escape was miraculous.
The fire at the ,EMltz home occurred
about o'clock. 1t appears that Mrs,
Fultz had some clothes hanging before
the fireplace to dry, and that they ig.
nited from the blaze in the CRATE. The
fire was soon discovered and the alarm
was sent out. Many neighbors gathered
and most of the household effects on the
first floor were carried out and saved.
buta Il household goods in the second
story were destroyed The building was
large two.story frame. 1t was entirely
destroyed.
The loss amounts to between $4,000
and $4,000 There was no insurance on
the building. There had been insurance.
but it expired few days ago, and had
not been renewed.

OPERA HOUSE
PACKED
Big Audience Witnesses Myrkle-Harder
Company's Play at Opera House Last
Night.-Latimer & Leigh's Clever
Speciality Pleases.

The MyrkleIHarder Stock company
presented its fourth play of its weeks
engagement at the Traders Grand opera
house last night. The opera house was
packed to its utmost seating capacity
and standing room only could be secured
Just before the curtain went. The play
presented was c. Walcott Rnssell's melo-
drama, @The Sleeping City" The play
was an entirely new one. Although
there were several noticeable absurd sit
uationsi n the piece, the members OF the
cast carried out their parts in a very
credit0ble manner. The company is COM
posed of good actors and their work was
very well carried out. The cabinet and
box trick OF Latimer & Leigh was repeat
ed again and mystifed the audience as
much as before. This is fine speciality
and the rapidity in which it is enacted
makes a possible explanation of the man.
ner in which it is done, almost impossible
to one who sees it. These speciality art
lists will have an entirely new STUNT
tonight, which they say will be equally
interesting as the cabinet and box trick.
The play tonight will be "The Angel of
Our Alley" There will no doubt be a
large audience out to witness the play.

STATE VETERINARIAN, DIR. RUHL,
FROM FAIRMoNT, EXAMINES
HORSES IN CLARKSBURG
AND SALEM.
FINDS ALL OF THEM IN GOOD
HEALTHY CONDITION AND NO
TRACE OF DREAD DISEASE.
Lafe Blake's Horses at Mt. Glare Exam.
ined, But No Chambers Existed There.
Rumors About Unhealthy and
Diseased Horses in This
Community Routed.

Rumors have been circulated around
in this vicinity of late that a number
of horses were afflicted with glanders.
To satisfy the anxiety of horse owners
and Others interested in the matter, DR..
=. B. Harper, the veterinary surgeon,
made arrangements with DIR. Frederick
P. Rulll, of Fairmont, to come to Clarks.
burg and examine the horses in the city
and vicinity.
DR.. Ruhl arrived in the city Thursday
from his home town. That afternoon
DR.. Ruhl, DIR. Harper and Alvin D. Bas.
sci drove down to Salem for the purpose
of making an official examination into
the condition of The horses in the stables
there and to find out whether the rumors
of the existence Of glanders among the
horses had any foundation.
DIR. Ruhl, assisted by DR.. Harper, made
the mallene test upon the horses in the
Palace livery stable at that place. They
found that all the horses there were in
good healthy condition. Other horses
were examined in other stables, but no
diseases of any kind were found.
Upon their return to this city the
veterinarians examined the horses in all
of the principal stables in Clarksburg.
In all of the stables in the city all OF
the horses were found, upon examination,
to be in good healthy condition. There
was not the slightest trace of glanders.
DR.. Ruhl and Dr. Harper drove out to
Lafayette Blake's place, near Mt. Glare.
Several days ago another daily news
paper in Clarksburg made the statement
that the horses in Mr.. Blake's stables
were afflicted with glandcrs, The doc
tors went down there to see about it.
Arriving there, they made an examina-
tion of the horses, but found no gland
ers. They did find low case Of fever
or epizootic cellulittis.
Other horses have been examined, but
so far the state veterinarian has failed
to find any appearance Of glanders,
DR.. Ruh returned to his home Friday
evening, after having worked two days
in examining horses. The doctor was
brought here at Mr.. Harper's request
The latter paid all of his expenses and
got him here simply to put to raut all
of the wild stories that have been cir.
culated by those who didn't know what
they were talking about There are no
glanders in Clarksburg nor anywhere in
the vicinity. That much is proven by
the result of the examinations.
DR., Ruhl told a representative Of the
Daily Telegram that he was confident
that the disease did not exist in this
community. He says that all of the
horses he examined were in exception
ally good and healthy condition, and as
fine lot of horses as could be found
any place.

CROWDED SCHOOLS
HINDER ARBOR
DAY EXERCISES
CENTRAL SCHOOL BUILDING HAS
NO ASSEMBLY HALL AND US
UAL ARBOR DAY EXERCISES
ARE ABANDONED.
Day Observed, However, by Carrying Out
of Room Programmes Study Of
Trees Made, But None
Planted.

Today is Arbor day and it was OBJ.
served generally in all of the public
schools OF the city. The day was des-
ignated by State Superintendent OF
Schools Miller, who said that while many
would choose the spring time as the
best time for planting trees and shrub.
berry, much good work along that line
could be done in the fall. For that rea-
son and for the reason that many of the
district schools close the term before
the time of planting in the spring, he
designated Friday, November 20, as Ar
Dor day.
In the various school rooms of the city
the day was observed by the carrying
out of appropriate programmes. The
feature of the programs was study and
discussion OF West Virginia trees. No
trees or shrubbery were planted in the
school yards and property, owing to the
fact that the property in the district has
been well planted at previous spring
Arbor days.
Heretofore it has been the custom at
the Central school building to carry out
an elaborate Arbor day program in the
assembly hall of the building. Owing
to the crowded condition of the school
building the assembly hall has been di-
yided into school rooms by partitions
and are being used as such at present,
There being no general assanbly hall
where the pupils of all of the rooms can
meet and render program of,excrcises
and recitations appropriate to such oc.
casions, the day could not be observed
as the teachers and principals wished,
However, the room programs were car.
ried out nicely. The study of West vir.
ginia trees proved unusually interesting
to the pupils.

The inclination is TO hold stocks over

been accumulating Southern Pacific on

about time for them to put up prices 10
