| ly OF mining timbers. The most of this
was saved though the ends of some
Of the timbers were charred or burned
off.
The work of the firemen was imped-
| ed by telephone, telegraph and electric
| light wires. A pole was burned down.
and the falling wires threatened death
to the firemen and bystanders.
After the fire department got to
work it accomplished results. Build
ings across the street. the Phoenixs
Ice company building on one side. and
residences on the other. were in immi-
nent peril OF the hot flames fed by
the highly inflammable material in the
long shed. The roofs of the buildings
were drenched with water until the
department began TO reduce the area
of the lumberyard fire.
But there was one house which was
not saved by water. The owner of IL
is sure it was saved by prayer. and
nothing else. That was the temple of
the so-called American Israelite church
conducted by the Schaffers on the
opposite corner. Schaffer. arrayed in
the kind of garments which he thinks
the Savior used to wear. mounted the
roof and during the fire stood there
waving his right hand as If command
ing the flames to keep their distance
from the sacred edifice. His wife the
high priestess OF the church with an
acolyte clad in the garb which they
nave chosen TO wear. remained on the
ground engaged i'm loud supplication.
When the red of the flames and the
black smoke began to give place TO
the suffocating white steam. Schaffer
looked triumphantly across upon the
ruins of the lumber yard. as If he had
had something to do with the arresting
of the devastation.
The extent of the loss can only be
estimated now, but it was probably not

MIRANDA'S SLAYER.
Juan Rodriguez Convicted at Prescott
of MsnsIauehtsr.

Juan Rodriguez was convicted al
Prescott of manslaughter in killing OF
Jesus Miranda at Humboldt last Sep
TENDER Miranda was former resi-
dent of Phoenix well known to the pol
/ ice and all peace officers. The Journal
, Miner recalls the story of the killing:
1T appeared from the testimony that
the killing occurred a short distanc
from the Lamar saloon. run by Ramon
Cordova. who elected Rodriguez and
Miranda from back room of the
premises a few minutes before the
shooting, for raising disturbance in
the apartment. which he had rented
some days before To a woman claiming
10 be Miranda's wife There were no
witnesses to the shooting, the defend
ant making the defense that Miranda
was the victim OF a bullet from his own
gun, which was accidentally discharged
when making an attempt to shoot him
The evidence of Doctor Toney showed
that from the nature of the fatal wound
ii was impossible for the victim to in
fiict it himself. which was also corrob
GRATED by other witnesses familiar with
the circumstances leading to the bloOdy
affair
After the shooting. Rodriguez who Is
q large and powerful man. was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Bob Neal and four
other men who were in the vicinity,
the prisoner, after refusing to be dis
armed, succeeded in making his es-
cape from his four keepers by knock
ing them down. when he was stopped
by Deputy Neal. who shot him in the
fieshy part OF the right leg. after he
had repeatedly called upon him to sur
render.
