CAUSED MUCH EXCITEMENT.
Fire Alarm Sounded During Height Of
Wind Storm.


Wind Storm.
Flynn Saturdays Daily.
= Shortly before / o'clock this after
moor the fire department responded
to an alarm telephoned from Sou.n
Thirty-thlrd street. In leaving the
station the apparatus turned west OF
First avenue, north, to Twenty-ninth
street, intending to go south thence
to- Third avenue, south, where the
fire was said to be. 1t happened that
the westbound North Coast Limited
was at the depot and the gates at the
crossing were down. Although
existed between the locomotive and
the west side of the street for the
passage of the truck ana hose wagon,
the Waterman failed to raise them,
and the firemen were compelled to run
east to Twenty-seventh street before
being able to cross the tracks.
This entailed the loss of much val
liable time, for a terrific wind was
raging, and it was feared mat the fire
might get beyond control before it
could be reached. Fortunately, now
ever, this did not result and the loss
was only nominal, as an out house
was found to be burning. A well d.
rected stream of water speedily ex-
tinguished the blaze.
The alarm caused great excitement
because of the storm, and hundreds
of excited people ran to where the
fire vas Many failed to get there be-
fore the returning firemen assured
them that there was no danger. All
the residences in that part of the
city are of frame and had the hre
been at all serious great loss of prop
erty would undoubtedly have resulted.

THE THIRD VICTORY
Which AtteIl Has Scored Over Johnny
 Began.

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 22.-After bat ting Montie Attell of San Francisco to a standstill during the first nine rounds of what was to have been a twenty-round go, Johnnie Began of New York was knocked out in the sev- enteenth round before the West End club tonight. Began again, as in his two previous encounters with Attell, cast his stalling tactics away and waded into the Californian from the first tap of the gong.
 Regan's advantage was marked until the halfway point was reached, his lead including a clean knockdown in the sixth round. The eleventh round was even, the next only slightly in Re gan's favor, and Attell steadily i'm proved until the end of the seventeenth round. when he swung viciously on Regan's jaw, dazing him. A lightning left and right to the same spot sent Began to the floor for the count This was Attells third straight victory over Began.

treasurer next year.
 Though the law was passed by the legislature two years ago it did not be- come effective until the present year. It will be remembered that one suit
 under this law was decided not long ago. That was a test case brought against the Bartlett Heard Land and Cattle company but the object of that suit was quite different from this. A great deal of the property on which back tax was claimed had been bought by the company from various persons who had entered the land and made inn
 provements on it before they had se-
 cured a title to it and the title to some of 1t had not been perfected until after it had passed into the hands of the present owners.
 But in the meantime the county had been taxing the improvements. It was always more or less of a question
 whether the county had a right to tax
 Improvements on government land and most of the persons. so taxed refused to pay. This class of back taxes which had been carried for years amounted to about 5000 and it was decided to
 either collect them or else no longer
 cumber the books with them. The amount against the land in the hands of the Bartlett Heard company was greater than any other and the suit was brought against that firm. It was de- cided by the court. that the tax was unlawful.
 The attorney for the county in these actions is J. H. Langston under a con-
 tract made with the board of super
 visors last spring.

AHfuI Suffering of Baby and SIeepIess Nights of
 Mother.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar io Recall Awful Sore
 Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out in full the be- ginning and end of that terrible disease, eczema, which caused my babe untold suffering and myself many Bleepless nights.
 "My babe was born seemingly 6 fair, healthy child, but when she was three weeks old a swelling appeared on the back of her head, and in course of time broke. It did not heal but grew worse, and the sore spread from the size of dime to that of dollar. I used all kinds of remedies that could think of, but nothing seemed to help; in fact, 1t grew worse. Her hair fell out where the sore was, and feared It would never grow again. It continued until my aged father came on 6 visit, and when he saw the baby be told me to get Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment right away.
 To please him did so, and to my surprise by their use the sore began to heal over, the hair grew over 1t, and to-day she has nice head of hair, her skin is as fair as lily, and she has no scar left to recall that awful sore, and 1t is over eight months and no sign of its returning" N

 "Cure permanent" So writes Mrs. Ryer. Feb. 25, 1908, six years later:
 Your letter of the 18th inst. received, asking in regard to the cure of my baby some six years ago. We'll, the disease has never returned to her head which ct that time was soTid sore on top and down the back. Once or twice since then patch has come on her hand near the wrist, but it finally disappeared after proper treatment with Cuticura."

AT THE PLAYHOusEs
Two Good Shows Forced Into COmpe-
 tition With Santa Claus.

There were two good shows in town last night and neither received liberal patronage though there were fair au- diences in both houses. Kerry Cow was presented at the Doris by Joseph Murphy an old stage favorite, and an excellent supporting company. The bill is an old one of course but ever new to those who enjoy the peculiar with of the Irish and love to read of the scenes of the old sod. And it was an actually new bill in these parts being presented here for the first time.
 MT. Murphy was warmly received by the audience as were others having inn portant parts and had it not been for the holiday rush and the consequent numerous diverting influences there is no doubt but that the house would have been filled.
 At the Hardwick Finnigans Ball was the attraction. That bill is not new in Phoenix or anywhere else but it is al- ways an interesting one just the same. It is a continuous performance of fun and frolic punctuated by rapid fire jokes.
 The funny business is properly bal anced by beautiful music both solo singing and chorus work and a fine large bouquet of pretty girls make ire quent appearance, always at the right time.
 Finnigan was up against the same proposition that Kerry Cow was last night, that of counter attractions and the holiday rush. The leading roles, Casey and Finnigan, were taken last night by new players in this section, Gallagher and Barrett, who did excel lently and the fact that the company played to smaller business than it ever did before in this city, is no reflection on the character of the performance. It is the same good show with some variations for the sake of novelty.

FL PASO'S NEW TAX LEVY
The Recent Reforms Cost Three Hills
 On the Dollar.

Fl Paso. Tex. Dec. Especially To cover a deficit in the municipal re- venues due to the suppression of gam bling and kindred vices, the city coun- cil tonight increased the tax levy three cents on the hundred, making it one dollar and seventy-two cents.
 It was estimated that the losses to the city resulting from the enforcement of the anti-gambling law would amount to $5O,000 per annum and the tax levy was accordingly increased.
 The taxable values of the city amount to $12,00O,000.
