TEMPE
AN ALARM OF FIRE.
The A. J. Peters Home Threatened
 Yesterday Afternoon.

The A. J. Peters residence had rather close call from fire yesterday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock, and but for the coolness of Mrs Peters, who was alone at the time, it is altogether likely that some damage would have resulted. She was using a gasoline stove in the kitchen, one she has had for years and one that has, hereto fore, always given the best of satis- faction, when suddenly and without warning. flames burst from one of the burners and enveloped the tank at the top of the stove. This tank had just been filled the day before and was still almost full. Mrs. Peters with rare presence of mind, disconnected the blazing tank from the stove and plunged it into a nearby bin almost full of flour, which extinguished the flames. She then carried it outside end at once returned and began throwing the loose flour on the stove and flames, which by that time were reaching almost to the top of the room. During the first few moments of the fire she had called to her next door neighbor, Mrs. Woods, and she had telephoned down town for the fire department, which responded in a re- markedly short time. However, after they had laid the hose and reached the place where the fire was reported to be, they found Mrs. Peters in the room full of suffocating smoke, still throwing flour with a telling effect. In

passed his boyhood days from that age in the early vicissitudes through which the church passed. He was large for his age and possessed a re- markedly bright mind. At the age of Is years he became closely associated with the prophet, and from that time to his death, acted as his business agent and private secretary. He pos sibly was better acquainted with the Prophet Joseph Smith than any man now living and his mind was rich with "reminiscences of those days, and the last years of his life he has given to writing of them. He was captain of the first company that left Nauvoo, at the expulsion, and in 1S49 he came to Salt Lake City with an emigrant com pany He settled in Salt Lake City first and was colonel in the military organization that was formed in Utah to protect the settlers against the In- dians. When the provisional state of Deseret was organized he was chosen as one of the delegates to it and such was the services that he rendered his state, that he was returned fourteen terms to the legislature of the terri tory after it was organized. Later he settled in southern Utah, presiding over the settling of that country While away on a mission to the Sand wich Islands the Walker war broke out and his entire property was de- stroyed by the Indians He has claim now before the government for the $10,OOO destroyed at that time.
 In 1883 he with his large family moved to Arizona, first settling in Tempe and later moved to Mesa, where he had resided continuously ever since. He was ever a faithful, consistent member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and was a patriarch in the Maricopa stake, where like Abraham Lincoln and Isaac and Jacob he not only blessed his own children "concerning things to come" but hundreds of others. And many of them bear testimony of his prophetic words being fulfilled. He had possibly the largest family, consisting of chill dren, grandchildren and great grand children, of any man now living. His posterity numbered in the neighbor- hood of 800 souls. He was beloved by all who knew him. He had the pure love of God in his heart which was abundantly manifest in his remarkable love for his fellow men.
