can town until a late hour. A little a1ter midnight he started to come tO town and as he was walking down tho street some one struck him with the above results. When he was hit, who did 1t, or any of the particulars he kEows, or at least says, he knows noth- ing whatever. Suspicion points to Antonio, the Soot black at one of the barber shops. The fray occurred just in front of the house where Mrs. Fra nk Molina lives. She heard the man fall and immediately tried to ascertain 1 what was going on. She saw a man when she looked out Of the window and vixen she asked him what the trouble as he replied that it vas nothing and made few other remarks. He said en- ough, however, so thase she is positive that j. was the voice of Antonio. An. other matter that makes the officers suspect him is thCt Marcial yesterdly admitted that the last man he has any remenbe-ance of being with tha. even ing Was the boot black.
 He was arrested yesterday but pied not guilty. His trial IS set for this raorn-ng at nine o'clock, the cnarge be- irs U.>saC3- and Ja.- -ers-. IL seems shat kc crly took 2 little less than d dollar from the pockets of tAe ol5 mau ard r.:lt tii' "e were thrre or fDu- dollars tn another pocket.
 The victim oS the assault was Tn such condition yesterday morning that he could not give good account or himself so he was turned oyef to friend un-il he could talk better Yes terday afternoon it came 70 the notice Of Marshal Brown that his patient was still drunk. He went to where he had left him and found him lying on the ground Utterly covered with flies He had somewhere found a liberal supply of whiskcy and made good use of it.
 The marshal ordered him taken to jail where he could sober uo without any danger of being supplied with more of the liquor.
 The justice Ind another case yester- day. The day before one Pedro Torris borrowed a horse and buggy from q friend near dle creamery. He drove to Mesa, and there soaked the outfft for ten dollar. When he returned the own CT offered to let him off for twelve dol lar5 but could make no deal with him. He was Accordingly arrested and fined thirty dollars or the alternative of ls many days. Not having the dollars he took the days. There is chance that at the completion of his sentence there will be another charge lodged against him, that of Obta.uing money 1nIer false p-etcnses. He sold another man S rig, claiming 1t to be his own.

of the armory there Is a corral where two horses are kept There is a shed there and in it was a small jag of hay. Yesterday between half past eleven and twelve the manager of the Cottage sal oon noticed smoke issuing from the hay He gave the alarm at once and before the department arrived he held the flames in check by water carried in 2ails.
 The department made a hurried run and was on the scene a moment after the alarm was Eounded. It took but ;t short time after the water was applied to extinguish the blsze and no particuz lar damage except to the hay was done.
 It is supposed that a garbage box was the cause of the fire. There was one in close proximity to the hay and it was noticed that when the blaze was first seen it came from the direction of the box. Ashes were seen in the tox after the fire and it is thought that these were hot and burned through the box into the hay.
