 When Mrs. Lund and Mrs. Shawver had finished their visit they starred for the barn to get their horse and buggy and were mortified to see the smoke and flames issuing from it.. There Were few people on the ranch and but small facil- ities for fighting fire, though it is like ly that a fire company could have done little to save the structure after the fire was discovered. and it was then too late 10 rescue the horse and buggy belong ing to the visitors, or another horse belonging to Colonel Hedger.

BARN AND CONTENTS BURNED
A $7,000 Loss on the Ranch of Col. T.
 T. Hedger.

Ore of the most disastrous ranch fires that ever occurred in this valley took piece yesterday at the ranch owned by Colonel T. T. Hedger, about fourteen miles west of Phoenix on the Yuma road, and better known, perhaps, as the John Daniels place.
 The fire destroyed the harm and it's valuable contents, the aggregate loss being estimated at between Se000 and S70O0. The barn alone was insured, and that only for S1O00 though it was one of the best, if not the very finest barn in the valley. A horse belonging to Mrs. C. V. Shawyer and a buggy be- longing to Walter Lund, of Glendale. were also burned. The farmhouse was situated only thirty or forty yards from the barn and in the course of the fire it caught two or three times, but the flames were extinguished before much damage was done. There is no know ledge of how the fire started.
 Yesterday morning Mrs. Walter Lund drove from her home in Glendale to the ranch of Mrs. C. V. Shawyer, where her horse was exchanged for one of Mrs. Shawyer's, and the two women con tinued their ride to the Hedger place, where they spent the day visiting, put ting their horse and buggy in the barn. The barn was a large building, being about 40X70, with a wing on each side In it were stored about eighty tons of hay the wagons and buggics be- longing to the ranch and most of the farm machinery used on the ranch. C. C. Hedger, a son of Colonel Hedger, ar rived recently from Kentucky with a carload of household furniture and goods, including d large amount of win

HISTORY OF THE MARTIANS

Following the departure of the Engla-
mans from Mars the inhabitants of the
twelve cities made an effort to withstand
the insidious corruption which assailed
them but 1t did not last long and before
a year was ended they were again giving
way to the wild orgies which had been
taught them by the Englanians. There
now began a line of weak kings whose
reigns were distinguished by nothing
worthy of recording. All the former pur-
suits of the learned Martians were grad
ually neglected and instead of moving
forward they began steadily to slip back
into the conditions prevailing during the
battles with the Phobians in the early
ages of the races history.
Xere was succeeded by xure, profiig-
ate monarch who did much to assist his
people down the road to ruin. Himself
corrupt he corrupted all others by the
force of his example 1t was during the
reign of this monarch that all studies and
learned pursuits were finally abandoned
by the Martians Although a few sturdy
philosophers and scientists still labored in
the privacy of their laboratories the ma
The former vigor which had characterized
the Martians at their prime was begin
ming TO show the effects of repeated
chemical banquets and limitations of
Englanian fumes. Although they did not
diminish in stature they were startled to
find that their span of life was decreasing
in length and instead of living 1000 years,
as in the time of Xire, they were COM
PEELED to make the journey to the Field
of Death several hundred years earlier.
The most potent elixirs had little effect.
Life was renewed regularly at the ex-
piration of the first 500 years but the
Martians soon realized that the races
existence was being shortened every year.
In the meantime the Englanians did not
return, nor did the Martians make their
proposed journey to the earth They
were sunk in slothful ease. which they
found more inviting than perilous trip
through space to an unknown world.
Communication was established. however,
and messages were sometimes enter
changed between the earth and Mars by
means OF radium searchllghts of great
magnitude which lit up space with the
brilliancy of q sun. Radium existed in
large quantities on Mars, fact that was
known to the Englanians and had
aroused their cupidity.
The life Of the solar universe was
now nearing an end. The expiring
sun threw out less heat as the
cycles rolled by and 1t became Bit
terly cold In space. Although the inhab-
itants of both the earth and Mars had
lived in domed cities for many ages and
had learned to protect themselves from
cold through their vast scientific knowl-
edge, the temperature had never been
so low as 1t now became. The SILVER
ing Engianians had but scanty sup
ply of radium and hence thought with
envy of the Martians kept warm in their
cities by an inexhaustible store of the
heat-giving metal. The messages sent by
the Englanians made frequent reference
to the intense cold and congratulated the

Their. w. E. Lyon, the pastor OF the
NJ. E. church here in a series of
meetings, remarked last evening at
the Grand Central. Zone of the most
noticeable and most striking features
of the meetings is the large number
of young men present, and | am sur
prised to learn that there is not any
Christian organization here of young
men. | think it would be a wise
move to establish a Young Mems
Christian Association in Roswell AS
it is. it seems that the only places
for the young men to go for muse
ment is the saloons. and the attrac-
tons there are very alluring. | be-
lieve a Y. M. c. A. here would re-
ceive the encouragement and sup
port of all the Christian people OF
Roswell, and it would certainly be
a safeguard from Evil c~ompanionshiI
and evil resorts for the a young
men of his city, and also a blessing
for the young men,"
His brother Rev. w. E. Lyon of
this city overheard the conversation
and endorsed what a said and was
heartily of the opinion that a Y. M.
G. A. would be a wonderful benefit
to the young men of Roswell, and
he was going to investigate the sub,
ject more thoroughly. The Daily Rec.
ord will gladly receive the opinions
of all who are interested in the eS-
tablishing of such ar organization in
this city.
