TYPIcAL WILD MAN-she

A TYPICAL WILD MAN-Sheriff Fowler of Santa Cruz county arrived in the city yesterday morning with an unknown man committed to the asylum. His case is a curious one. A few days ago some cowboys fifty miles from Nogales found him wandering about in the hills. He fled when they approached but they overlook him, roped him and chained him to a tree
 Then they sent word to the sheriff
 who went after him. The man is ap- parently about 25 years of age. No one has so far been found who ever saw him before. During the time he was in confinement he was never able to tell his name or give the slightest clue regarding himself.
 FIRE ON NORTH CENTER TREET-Between 9 and f o'clock
 yesterday afternoon D. C. Akin's barn
 burned. His mules. which he had re-
 gently purchased. and which he prized so highly. were in the barn when the
 fire was first discovered in a patch of dry weeds a sl,ort distance from the barn. He hastened to eXtinguish the fire, but found it impossible. By this time t seems that the wind had car ried the fire closer to the barn, and by the time one mule had been released rom LlG DE--l tt'e iLIe clS SD i4b- -fAt Akin had to flee for his life, and the other mule and harness, together with the contents Of the Farn, were burned.
 There was no insu- ance. and at this writing the origin of the fire is a mys- tery.

 CTS to join him. They did so after
 which one of them invited him to lis ten to tune on a piano. Then there were other drinks. Finally the strang-

 three drinks. He was conscious and could talk but he was helpless. He told his new found friends to leave his money alone but they paid no atten- : tion to him. He finally went to sleep,
