Rough Experince
 Of a Tombstoner

Billy Bennett, deputy sheriff at
 Tombstone, came d VII this morning
 to secure witnesses. He ventured up
 to the city hall to gaze in awe at the
 magnificent skyscrsper, when he was accosted by Captain Tom Rynning
 Deputy Sheriff Sam Hayhurst and 8 reporter, who volunteered to show the
 Tombstoner through the edifice. He
 wss taken upstairs and through the various elaborstely furni.hed apart ments, and then to the aperture where the firemen ar. supposed toslide down sleek pole to the ground floor. Billy baked on the p;le, and said the oth- CTS had to go first. His guides, who were accustomed to sliding down lightning rods, etc, to evade their creditors, made the descent safely, but Billy forgot to entwiue his lengthy limbs about the pole, and be went down so fast that his clothes caught fire and the hose had to be turned on him. His rapid decent slso blistsred his hands, and s piece of bis hand come blond mustsche was singed of.

Most Destructive
 Forest Fires

Carelessness has resulted in the de- struction of two immense plats of valuable timber land. The seeond of the fires has just been extinguished. The 6rst fire was in the neighborhOod of Wilgus. about IA miles from Psrs- dise. destroying timber in an area of approximately one mile square. It is presumed that Mexican campers left their camp fires burning and were un- aware of the damage they had caused. With little difficulty this blaze was soon extinguished.
 The second blaze was enc of the most destructive eyer occurring in the Chiricahuas. About 10 square miles was, it is thought, burned over, and the destruction of one of the moe' promising orchards of young pine tree' in the entire reserve wss complete In this area tAe larger trees had beer cut down twenty years before. As result. young pine trees, all the wa, from few inches to s feet in neigh covered the entire area thickly. 1hes' were all destroyed. The fire began come time last Friday, and was no sxtinguished until Monday. The fir occurred in Rucker canyon, on tn south~ essern side of the 70 -srvs, abou ten miles from the wood camp of I
 R Blevins, and approximately 65 m le from Paradise by wagon road. Tn smoke was plainly visible from Pars disc.

Transactions in the
 District Court
THURSDAY. MAY l7

IhOhoDAhs aAh As The atten ti0o oi court was taken up i this morning in pronouncing sentence on those who had been convicted
 The first case was that oi Florencia Castro, convicted of the crime of burg Iary. Alter Attorney Cunningham had made c motion for q new trial and arrest of judgment and the mo- ton had been denied. the defendant was sentenced to serve . term of two years in the peni:so:iary at Yuma. R Costisnes, who was jointly in- dicted with Castro, and tried separ ately, was the noxt on the list. He received c similar sentence.
 Arthur vezins, convicted of burg lary in the second degree, was gen. tenced to serve two years at Yuma. 1 Antonio Ferrss, the man with a re cord, and who has been in nearly every jail in the southwest and in the Cochise county jail no less than five times during the pact seven years, WAS the next one called. He was sentenced to serve two years at Yuma. After judgment had been pronounced Fer rss spoke up and asked the court if he c .uld be credited with the time he had been confined in the county jail. The court then asked how long he had been confined in the county jail, and Antonio replied, -four months and seven days" His request was granted. This was taken as tip by lawyers who represented other defend ants, and they were not slow to make similar requests In the case of Ar thur V gina four months time was al lowed. In the cases of Castro an6 astianos, the court stated that h' did not see where he was justified il granting reduction of time.
