Results.

Charlton, Sept. 14-(SpeciaD, Fire
yesterday destroyed the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Lowe, near Derby,
claimed the lives of both Mr.. and Mrs.
Lowe and of their infant child. The
catastrophe was one of the saddest
ever known in the history of the COM

fortunate couple are grief stricken
The home of Mr.. and Mrs Lowe was
on farm about midway between Hum
eston and Derby Yesterday their lit
tie babe became ill and it's spasms
frightened the young parents. They
telephoned for a physician and were
instructed by him to keep the child in
hot water until he could arrive. Mr..
Lowe fastened to build fire and used
kerosene to give the blaze a quick
start. In their eXcitem ent the two
anxious parents ventured too near the
stove and the kerosene, poured copi-
ously on the blaze, exploded setting
fire to the house and to the clothes of
it's occupants.
Mr. Lowe, badly burned. succeeded
in escaping from the blazing house,
but died a few hours afterward. Mrs.
Lowe and her little child were burned
to death with their home and it's en-
tire contents.
Mrs. Lowe was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. R. Throcklnorton of Derby,
who are wei. known and highly es-
teemed. The sad death of their daugh-
ter falls heavily upon the aged couple
and they have the sincere sympathy of
their many friends.

AT CAMP WALLACE
FRANK ALTERNATELY IN LUzoN
HOSPITAL AS RESULT OF A
FIGHT WITH A SHARK.
Was Seriously III for Several Days
May Never Recover Entire Use of
Foot-Fight Occurred in Early Sum-
mer-The Rainy Season.

d. G. Alternately, GIG West Second
street, has received letter from his
brother, Corporal Frank E. ALTERNATELY
of Troop ], Eighth United States cav
airy, who is stationed in the Philippine
Islands. Mr.. Alternately was bitten by
shark in the early part of the sum-
mer, and though he is much improved,
he is still in the hospital. An account
of the exciting fight with the shark
was published in the Courier a few
weeks ago
In mis- letter to his brother he states
he has received the best of care. At
the first he was very sick for several
days, his fever ranging about 105 de-
grees. The bite of the shark cut
through all of the veins and arteries
of his foot and he was in great danger
of bleeding to death. On account of
this great loss he did not have enough
blood in his system to carry off the
fever and at times it was necessary to
| keep him packed in ice. At one time
he was kept packed in this way for
forty-ive minutes
The leaders and tendons of the foot
are all cut and it is doubtful if he will
ever regain the complete and perfect
uoS VI lllo lOOI dSdiii CllouSil llC
hopes to regain the partial use of it.
There are a number Of scars on
his foot, all of them about two
inches long and the bites that
caused them went clear to the bone.
With the exception of the injury to
his foot he is enjoying the best of
health and is looking forward to his re-
turn to the States before Christmas in
case he does not entirely recover from
the injury.
The Rainy Season.
In another part of his letter Mr.. Abb
ernathy states that at present the
| rainy season is on in the islands and
| that when it rains there 1t doesn't
drizzle along, but it rains, that one
would get soaking wet by just stepping
out Of the door. He also speaks of the
country as cheap one in which to
live saying that he has beenable to &C.
cumulate considerable amount Of
savings.
Mr.. Alternately Is located in the hos
pital at Camp Wallace Union, Island
of Luzon, which is about $50 miles
north of Manila. He was formerly a
resident of Wapello county.

STEADILY GROWING WITHOUT
 ANY BOOM.
<CFrom Thursdays Daily.)

J. F. Bright, the contractor whose outfits are now engaged in doing railroad work, was in Prescott yester- day en route to the southern part of the territory. He reports the most prosperous conditions in connection with his contract work, and says the entire territory is in excellent shape from a business standpoint. Chatting with a reporter yesterday he said:
 -"I find everything down this way looking better than last year. I am in a fairly good position to know these things, and have operated in this sec tion for so many years that am ia miliar with everything having to do with the business end of affairs. came here first in the 70's, and there was but very little of Prescott at that time. 1 worked in the old Vulture mine I was then young man, and eager to see this part of the country

For many years I have had contract work in this part of the country, and coming and going as I zrm compelled to do, have a splendid opportunity to see the con tinual advance of the country in all lines of business
 Although a mining country, as whole Arizona has many other re- sources that will add to make it great commonwealth after the years of development that must precede any rich country. I have noticed that this country never retrogrades. With have been opened np, properties ae- velOped and new communities formed. and all are steadily growing larger and commercially more important. It is magnificent field for investment, and for young men to start in life. Eventually statehood will place it on nsw basis. and it is only matter of lime when this entire southwest country will be one of the Tiri,.-st DOT tions of ile union.''

tion to cross and lay open will be reached within a short time.
 The tunnel now being run by the Consolidated King Development and Columbia Copper Company at the SOO- foot level is being pushed as rapidly as men can do the work, and unless some accident delays further progress the ore body will be reached within the next thirty to sixty days.
 This main tunnel is one of three that have been under way to tap certain ore bodies, one having been started at depth of about $50 feet, and another below the 7OO-foot level.
 The tunnel now being driven is re- ported to be doing the last of the pre- lminary work on this group, and upon its tapping the ledge, which is expect ed to contain rich values, a mine in full operation is expected to be the result.
 While no details will be given to the public it is no secret that there is an abundance of capital behind this pro- position, and that arrangements for opening up the property have been un- der way for many months past.
 The property lies immediately below the town of Jerome, and comprises a number of valuable claims.

A CowARDLY ACT.
Stranger Throws Pepper in a French
 woman's Eyes.

With an apparent attempt to mali eiously and without provOcation in- jure a French woman residing in the lower end of town, some stranger last night threw red pepper in the wom- ans eyes, causing her intense suffer ing. The stranger walked into her room, and without d word deliberate ly tried to blind the woman in this bru- tai fashion, running away from the place the moment he had succeeded in carrying out his eowar,fly work.
 Inquiry throws TO light upon the matter, hut if is believed by the woman that the man was hired by someone to assault her in this manner. She says the man was total stranger. and that she had but spoken few words to him when he threw the pepper in her face. She thinks it Is some woman who paid the man to commit this con temptihlc act.
