Sid Alexander Testified He Saw Him
Pour Gasoline on the Floor

| In Judge Huff,nan's court this morn
| Ing Louis Schmidt was given a pre-
liminary hearing on a charge of burn
! ing his saloon in Prescott on December
Il. Several witnesses Wore called who
testified to being present at the fire. but
them. When Sid Alexander, the chief
prosecuting witness. was called he tes-
titled to having passed the saloon on
the night of the fire in company with
Willis Revis. the young men who was
arrested early in the winter for burg
lariZing Schmidt's saloon. When he
and Revis We're near the saloon he no.
tced d light in the rear of the build
ing and thinking Schmidt had left for
,vestigate. Upon going to a window
and looking through he discovered
Schmidt pouring gasoline from a can
upon the floor. From here he went to
the house of Mr.. Hayes. who runs "A
restaurant in Prescott where he had
been boarding and remained short
time. Leaving there he went to his
home where he had been few mo-
ments when he heard the cry of fire.
When he arrived at the saloon he Went
in to save what he could and the first
thing he thought of was Mr.. Schmidt's
revolver which had always been kept
in the money drawer. Not finding it
there he went toward the door where
the invoices of the stock and receipts
usually We're hanging. but he also found
that they were missing. BY this time
the flames had gained such Roadway
that he was compelled to leave the
building for his own safety.
Mr. Schmidt was then placed on the
stand and denied absolutely the evil
dence given by Alexander as to the
pouring of gasoline on the floor of the
building. He had been at the saloon
during the day. and left about o'clock
in the evening going to his room, sew
eral blocks away He retired early and
when he was awakened by the alarm
of fire and reached the saloon the
building was nearly consumed. He
admitted to having gasoline in the sa-
loon which he used for lighting pur-
poses. He disclaimed having seen the
gasoline can during the day.
Upon the evidence produced on the
part of the prosecution Justice Huff
man bound the defendant over to the
slperior court with bonds placed at

NO MORE EMBALMED TOMATOES.

A meeting of the Gamers and packers
of the Peninsula was held in Dover re-
Gently. At its conclusion G. R. Jones,
of Georgetown, one of the Gamers pres
ent, said:
We have concluded that no more
" "soup" shall be packed In cans and sent
out from here labeled tomatoes" We
have about decided on basis of weight
of the goods, on the exclusion of water
and on the purity of the contents of
every can. We will be supported by the
National Pure Food laws, which we spent
the day in discussing. The business of
pumping into cans of goods what an un-
dertaker pumps into dead man for the
purpose of preservation or high coloring
will also stop. We are determined that
goods that 60 out from this State and
Peninsula shall be absolutely pure and
unadultered-no coloring in the tomatoes
or peas-everything fit for an epicure.
There is way to bring this about, and
we think We are on that way.

His last sea fight is fought;
His work of glory done.
1t was not in the battle;
No tempest gave the shock
She sprang no fatal leak;
She ran upon no rock.

His fingers held the pen,
When Kempenfelt went down
With twice four hundred men.
Weigh the vessel up
Once dreaded by our foes
And mingle with our cup
The tear that England oweA
Her timbers yet are sound,
And she may float again,
Full charged with England's thunder,
And plow the distant main.
