ANOTHER BLAZE

Last Wednesday evening the fire
tlend came in to break the monotony of
our town and for a short time there
was even more than the ordinary
amount of life on the streets.
Early in the evening an alarm was
sent in from the Jail and was promptly
responded to by the fire department,
nut the alarm was false, so the boys
merely had the run for their pains.
Another alarm was given. however,
Just as the fire apparatus was being
replaced in the hall, and this time one
If j. W. Gill's new houses on the north
lide of the railroad was found to be on
ire, BY the time the department
reached the place the flames had gained
such headway that the men could do
nothing to save the building where the
fire started, so turne their attention
to the house next east of it and thus
prevented it spreading beyond the one
house, which was totally destroyed.
Mr.. Gill and Mrs. Price who occupied
the house, lost all their furniture, the
only thing saved being trunk belong
ing to Mr.. Gill's daughter. Mr.. Gill
called at THE GRAPHIC Office yesterday
and requested us to say that tha state

effect that he had moved his furniture

MERE NATTER OF CURIOSITY

He was long, lank countryman.
He entered the car, and took his seat
next to a well-dressed man of middle
age, who sat evidently absorbed in his
morning paper Immediately he had
seated himself he began a rapid fire of
questions directed at the gentleman
with the newspaper.
He asked him how many miles an
hour he thought the train could 20 at
its full speed; and if he didn't like the
looks of tie country they were passing
through; and what he thought of the
chances for crops down his way and if
he didn't think the trusts were bleeding
the country; and wasn't he of the
opinion that politics had gone to the
dogs, anyway, and the whole land going
to ruin; and didn't he think that Grover
Cleveland was the greatest man that
ever lived; and what was his opinion of
the Spanish war. At last the man
with the newspaper grew impatient.
"My friend, " he said, "I've answered
number of your questions, and now,
if you haye no objections, Id like to
have chance to read my paper.
Sure, his interrogation replied. al
won't bother you any more; but,
stranger, there's one more question I'd
like to ask. Just answer me this one,
and I'll shut right up. see you've
got just one leg, How'd the other
one come to be off ?"
IF | answer this, you'll promise not
to ask another question ?"
Sure" replied the countryman,
with an emphatic nod of the head.
well, then, I'll tell you. 1t was
bit off. "
The recipient of this piece of infor-
nation stared hard at the gentleman
with the newspaper, but he made no
comment. Finally the situation be-
came uncomfortable; he shifted restessly
IN his seat, and his breath came hard.
At length he rose, and started down
the aisle.
1--WE given my word for it," he
said, land I'm not the man as goes
back on his promise; but I'll be gol-
darned if | wouldn't give a peck of the
best potatoes on my place to know
what it was this side of Perdition that
could have bit that mans leg Off. -

PRAISE SERVICE

The annual praise service, conducted
by the Ladies Missionary society in the
Presbyterian church, on Sunday eve
was a splendid success.
The program consisted of songs. re-
tations, readings, ETC., and was we'll
rendered, interesting and instructive.
Without any invidious distinctions we
may mention the recitations by Mrs.
Dickey and Miss Kirkland, the song
recitation by Mrs. Jaeger, and the
letter from Rev. Mr.. Mondy, mission
AIRY to the Indians at Laguna, which
was read by Mrs. Michael.
Mr.. Mondy's account of the strict
discipline enforced in his dusky congre-
cation leaves no room to imagine that
his chief desire is to add names to the
church roll. If the same discipline
were general, we fear that many pale
faces" would go out on strike.
Mrs. WyrAan, president Of the soci
ETY., presided; Rev. A. Marston offered
up the opening prayer, and Rev. G..
Milne closed the meeting with the ben
ediction.

hORENCI COAL STRIKE

The discovery of coal by John Molder
in Silver Basin, near Morenci, 10 days
or more ago, has caused considerable
excitement in and about the camp and
among the mining men of the two ter
ritories.
A correspondent of THE GRAPHIC at
Morenci writes that in the judgment of
experienced prospectors on the ground
there is no doubt that there is a great
deposit of coal in the basi', and that
every foot of land within a radius of
five miles has been located.
The Molder strike has developed four
feet of coal in one five-foot shaft and
two one-foot layers, beside several
small ones in a three-foot cut at the
discovery point. Good coal sea m
have been found at several other points
in the basin and creek bed. The ORR
ginal discovery was purchased by the

ENGINEERS AT WORK
On Proposed Road from PheniK, via
Benson and LOrdsburg, to Deming.


While in Benson a few days ago we
were informed by a business man OF
that place that the engineers were at
work rear there, locating the line that
has been talked of for the past year,
and which will give another connection
from Deming westward through the
best portion Of Arizona.
The gentleman mentioned stated that
he had reasonable assurance from those
supposed to know that the road would
be constructed during the present sea-
son and that construction work would
begin as soon as the location has been
definitely determined.
While there is some question in re-
gard to the building of projected roads,
there is certainty that there will be u
large amount of railway construction
throughout this part of the Southwest
during the next two or three years, and
the position and importance of Deming
makes it quite certain that it will get
some of these roads in he near future.

POLITICAL
ROOSEVELT
Why Dishonest Politicians and Others
Fear Him.

Mayor Sam Jones of Toledo says truly
that Roosevelt is closer to the hearts
of the people-the great army of pa
triotic and incorruptible Americans -
than any man since Lincoln. Mr..
Bryan is reported to have said that he
would rather vote for him than for
German or any other miscalled Demo-
crat of that stripe. He has no need to
ask favors from his enemies, or to
make terms with them. His safety
lies in holding them at arms length in
acting on his instincts. His instincts,
by the way, are Of sort the grafters
cannot understand but the people un-
derstand them. The people trust him.
They do not share the sham solicitude
of his masked foes who shudder (pub-
licly) il fear that he will make a mis-
take" The ardors of impetuous youth
drew from him more than one express
sion which his soberer judgment might
well reject from his convictions upon
the blessings Of high tariffs many of
US decidedly dissent. But since he en-
tered the White House he has proven
himself every inch an American and a
man. The stoek-rigging, money-graG-
bing pap-sucking grafters of all de-
z ees say they ear him because "they
do not know what to expect from him. "
The plain truth is that they fear him

A STRAND GAVE WAY
Four Persons Precipitated to Death
 in the Truckee River.

Reno, New, May 15.-By the breaking tramway across Truckee river, at Lawton Springs, five miles west of this city today, four young people, Mau- rice Jacobs, young business man of this city, Miss Nit McMillan, daugh- ter of a prominent business man of Reno; Mrs. F.. s. Ede, Jr., and MT. Tilsman, of Chicago, were precipitated from a car into the swollen stream and drowned. The accident was wit messed by Fred Coleman of San Fran cisco, who was unable to render any assistance.
 The tramway consists of two steel cables stretched across the river upon which the car runs which is much used by pleasure seekers. Today the four young people entered the car to cross the river. When they reached mid stream, one of the strands parted. One piercing shriek was heard and the four were observed for a few minutes struggling in the rapids. Both young men were athletes and gave up their lives in a heroic effort to save their companions. There was no time the men apparently could not have saved themselves, although at the place where the accident occurred there are swift rapids.
 MT. Tilsman was a prominent busi- ness man of Chicago, who was camp ing at Lawton Springs for the benefit of his health.

RAGGED BANDITS.
Confessed that they Were Working for
 the Mikado.

Liao Yang, May 15.-Chinese bandits are becoming bolder and causing much trouble to the Russian outposts. A swarm of bandits at noon on May 13 attacked the coal mines on the branch line east of Yang Tai station ten miles south of Liao Yang. The mines, which supply the whole railroad, are guarded by 200 riflemen and 100 Cossacks.
 In fierce fight the Russians repelled the bandits and then charged them, the bandits fleeing to the hills and to the neighborhoOd villages. The troops sur rounded the villages and demanded the surrender of the bandits. The surren- der at first was refused, but fearing the Russians would destroy their homes, the villagers revealed the hiding places of the fugitiveS. The bandits fought with the desperation of entrapped rats and fifty of. them were speared and killed. The Russians suffered no loss
 Among the seventeen prisoners taken by the troops were two Japanese off, cers who had escaped from the Rus sians. Only one of the bandits taken prisoner confessed that the bandits had been hired by the Japanese whom they are supplying with information.
