 Governor Brodie has issued an order for an investigation of the origin of the fire in the engine room of the cap itol building. The investigation will be made by Auditor Nichols and Geo. Truman, citizen member of the board of control. These officials have al- ready looked into the matter to a cer- tain extent, but have not yet arrived at conclusion as to how the fire orig mated. The only theory that can be advanced, 80 far, is that some one in passing the engine room tossed lighted cigar, cigarette or match on the pile of cedar wood.-Gazette.
 Thomas Bell returned from Emmit county, Texas last week. It will be remembered that Mir. Bell was taken there about three weeks ago on the charge of ,having killed man more than twenty years ago. As soon as MT. Bell arrived in Emmit county, he was admitted to bail in the sum of 5000 and returned home. MT. Bell does not deny having killed the man, but says that he either had to kill the Mexican or get killed himself From the fact that MT. Bell was promptly released on a nominal bond the Texas authorities evidently regard it as very weak case against im.-Guar- plan,
 On Sunday last Paul Kausnick, bet ter known as Big Paul, who was en- ployed by the Standard copper mines as carpenter, was run over by an en' zine on the Coronado railroad and lit- orally cut to pieces, his head being en- tirely severed from his body, and both legs and arms were cut of.

The engine was backing up with its train, and coming around a sharp curve was almost upon him before he could be seen by the engineer. who i'm mediately reversed the engine, but too late. A coroner's inquest was held which exonerated the engineer from me.-Copper Era.
 It has been matter of general ob. servation in Tucson, says the Citizen, that the ordinance forbidding expec- toration on the sidewalks has been al. most entirely ignored. If there ever has been serious effort made to en- force 1t, there is no pubic record of it. That the ordinance should either be enforced or repealed goes without say. ing, and there is hardly doubt that the public sentiment of the city favors enforcement. The women of the city have now taken hand in the matter. The habit of splitting on the sidewalks is not only nasty but dangerous.

 Newell Pew, the Mesa boy, whose case has attracted such universal at- ten tion, died at his home Decem Der 30. He had apparently recovered to a great extent from his injuries and had been out of doors for some days. It will be remembered, says the En- terprise, that the lad received gun shot wound in the head some time ago, md pains in his head were supposed to have been the result of that.

An apparently suc- 'essful operation was performed, and he boy was pronounced we'll. Yester-
