Jesse McGeary visited Harwick today
and stated that the inquest may be-
gin Friday or Saturday, the exact
time depending largely on the num-
Der of bodies taken out Of the mine
during the next two days.
Yes, we think we know the cause
of the explosion" said Chief Inspec-
tor Roderick, but we can't give 1t
out until after the inquest is held.
The Investigations we have made dur
ing the past week have tended to con.
firm our conclusion as to the cause.
In the south main entry near the
third heading q portion Of the body
Of an unknown explosion victim was
found this morning. 1t Is believed
that the remainder of the body lies
buried beneath the great fall Of slate
and coal near this point. 1t is believ'
ed by the deputy coroners and the
miners that this victim was blown to
pieces by the dynamite he carried
with him.

F|REMEN HURT
At Burning of Chicago
Box Factory.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-Fire which start
ed about half an hour after midnight
this morning in the shaving room Of
j. c. Windermeyer's box factory,
22nd and Throop streets, destroyed
that factory and jumped to the Chi
cago Picture Backing factory and the
Chicago Table Works, which were
badly damaged, entailing a total loss
Of 100000.
The scene of the fire being IN the
heart Of the immense lumber district
the fire marshal took precautions to
order an extra large number of fire
fighting apparatus and this led to the
report becoming current that the lum-
ber district was In flames. Fortunate
ly this proved to be unfounded, the
fire being confined to the three build
ings named.
Two firemen were dangerously hurt
by being caught under a falling wall
OF the Windermeyer factory.

Tom- J. Turner.

If the voters of this county want the best sheriff in Arizona; Q sheriff who will do his duty without fear or favor no matter whether it be at night or in the day time; . sheriff who is not striving to make q rep utation as fighter, but a sheriff who is gentle as a child and brave as lion; sheriff who never boasts about what he can do, but always does it, they should vote for Tom Turner.
 Not once has it been said since Tom Turner entered the sherif1's office that he failed or kesitated to perform his official duty. Not once has it been said, or even whispered by his worse enemy, that he has not been honest with the taxpayers
 Tom Turner does not want to be elected sheriff in order that he may make the county 2 donation of half of the receipts of the office. If elected he wants every cent from the county that legally and honorably Is coming to him. He does not want one cent more. Honestly speaking, Mir. Taxpaye would you do different?

The Water Situation.

It is claimed by officers of the water company that on the oc- casion of the fire on Monday, there was plenty of water pressure in the mains before the firemen had their hose connections made, therefore lack of water was the fault of the fremen, says Wednesdays Times Yesterday a test was made, using the same nozzles and hose, when, on turning on the same gauge pressure as claimed to have been indicted by the gauge during the fire, the water main on Canyon Street burst in three places.
 Any attempt to fasten the blame or any part of it, for the lack of effective work at this or any other fire, on our fremen is entirely un- just. The leaders of our fire com pany have invariably responded immediately to every call-rushing from their places of business and working heroically with the means at hand. To Captain Mix. Fred Herrera. NIT. Schuckmann, Pome- roy and others, our citizens we owe a debt of gratitude.
 The we'll known fact remains that the town has been paying dearly for a water service 1t has not re- ceived In this connection an in cident observed by the editor dur ing the depot fire will bear repeat ing:-while there was still great danger of the spreading of the fire to Morley Ave, the manager of the water company attempted to shut off the hydrant in front of The Times office to which the hose was connected and was only prevented from doing so by the determined action of MT.
