FIERY EXPERIENCE
 OF FRANCIS FIERY
Frightfully Burned in an Explosion
 in a Tank.

Francis Peery, a plumber in the em- ploy Cf George Hagerlan, met with a most terrible accident yesterday morn ing shortly after 10 o'clock, as result of which his hands and arms and neck and head were burned so badly that most of the skin fell from it's place. He is now occupying a ward at the Sis ters' hospital, and while the physician
 in attendance says he will retain his
 eye-sight and that the cuticle will
 again form, it will be several weeks
 before he can again do labor. His suf- ering from the burns is terrible, but
 that he escaped with his life is con sidered miraculous.
 Peery was occupied painting the in terior of a wagon tank with aspheltum prepared for use with benzine. The tank had previously contained oil, put it was, when complete, to be used as a receptacle for drinking water. In size it was some twelve feet long, four
 feet wide, and three feet deep. At the top it had an opening a foot square and it was necessary, to do the work, to get inside the tank. Peery mad been ! in the tank and worked for fifteen minutes and come out for the purpose of allowing the gases from the evapo- ration of the benzine to escape from

the tank Before entering the first time he remarked that he dislikAd the job and feared an accident. but in con sideration of his employer he was will ing to carry out the job. Besides some sixteen tanks of a similar construction had been worked on without accident before in the shop.
 He had gone into the tank for a second time and had worked possibly twenty minutes when the gas was ig- nited by the flame from the candle which was burned to give light and the explosion took place. MT. Hageman, who was just approaching the place, where the tank was located. and an employe named Evan Howell, helped Peery from the tank which was . reg ular furnace filled with flames. In some manner the asphaltum got in Peery's hair and added fuel to the flames that attacked him around his head. Two pairs of overalls saved his

Arizona favor jointure," it is now fairly well understood in the east that the people of Arizona are unanimously opposed to the bill. Both the demo- cratic and republican conventions in
 1904 passed resolutions against joint ure other conventions since, com posed of miners, public educators, cat
 tlemen, and professional men have
 done likewise.
 It has been stated by the "Beveridge crowd' that a powerful lobby, sup ported by the railroads and rich mine | owners of Arizona, was actively at | work to defeat the measure. This as- | sertion is ridiculous and untrue The | only active workers for Arizona in Washington nave been Ex-Governor
 Murphy, MT. Frank M. Murphy, MT. | B. A. Fowler, president of the Water Users association, and Marcus A.
 Smith, the territorial delegate to con-
 gress. Recently, however. delegation
 of Arizonians representing the miners,
 ranchers, merchants and ninety-nine per cent of the entire population has gone to Washington, "at their own ex- ! pense," to protest against this contem-
 plated outrage.
 In his annual message our worthy president showed conclusively that he intends to force the joint statehood measure, and the party leash, ili the hands of that angel child from the banks of the Wabash,'' will be used on
 all refractory republican members who
 dare opose his wishes.
 l Thanks to advocate of fair play, Ari-
 zona is making a brave fight against
 big odds and it may yet come to pass
 that the president will see the futility
 of refusing Arizona "a square deal l Very truly yours,

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 10, 1905.

Phoenix, Ariz.. Jan. 10, 1905. MT. William E. Quinby,
 Publisher Detroit Free Press, De- troit, Mich.
 My Dear MT. Quinhy: As former resident of Detroit and Michigan, I de- sire to call the attention of the Free Press to various facts concerning the joint statehood bill now pending in congress.
 For the past five years I nave been 9 resident of Arizona, and as you will readily recall, l have during this pe riod sent the Detroit papers articles bearing on the mineral wealth of the territory; have called attention to the reclamation work of the government in Arizona, and also the number of De- troit and Michigan people who have invested capital in the mines, rail- roads, banks and other industrial en- terprises of the territory.
 At the present time the all-impor- tant question to every man, woman. and child in Arizona is, twill Senator Beveridge and a few other eastern pol iticians be able to force Arizona into an 'unholy alliance with New Mexi- coz"
 All former residents of the state now
 
 of Michigan, MT Edward l.. Hamilton, chairman of the house committee on territories, should be most active in attempting to perpetrate this outrage; but as he admits he is only the tool in the hands of the real instigator of the crime, for he says: 'I am forcing nothing; joint statehood is the presi- dents policy. What the committee de- cides will have to be done" People may ask, Why does Arizona so strenuously object to jointure with New Mexico? The reasons are mani fold New Mexico and Arizona conl- .Lined form a larger area than all the New England states, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania put together. In fact, there are only three states in i the Union larger than Arizona, those S, ates being Texas, Montana, and Cali ! foTnil. If this bill sEould become a 1 law if would be like making one state of New York an l Illinois, for it would tar a man no longer to journey from Aibary to Chicago than it does from Phoenix, Ariz., to Santa Fe.

 A physician was summoned and Peery' wounds were dressed and later he was taken to the hospital, where he will be cared for at the expense of MT. Hageman. He is a man twenty four years old and came to Arizona about year ago from Oklahoma.

that close fellowship with the Savior
who had upheld her through her nearly
three score years and ten of her life. We
feel honOred to have had the companion

short time. of one who had given four
sons to the ministry, one of those to the
foreign field. Our hrarts' deepest sym
pathy goes out to these and the only
daughter. Mrs Wyse, though words are
feeble to convey our truest feelings to
those who have been drawn to the gates
OF Heaven itself by this affection.

Mr. Nathan 2. Strause died in
Florida Tuesday night. The intelli-
gence of his death was received here
with deep regret by his numerous
friends. Mr.. Strause formerly lived
in Henderson but for several years
had made his home in Madison, Wis
consin. where he held Il responsible
position with the American Tobacco
Company. He married Miss Bessie
Shaw, second daughter of Capt. and
Mrs. William B. Shaw, and sister of
Mrs. Il. J. COrbitt of this town. He
was man of fine character and
splendid business qualifications and
was very popular with all who knew
him.
Mr.. Strause's health had been fail
inc for some time. He went to Flor
ida not long ago hoping the milder
climate would be beneficial to him.
But alas. the dread summons came
when he was far from all his loved
ones save his devoted mother. She
had gone with him and nursed him
to the end. Beside his wife MIR.
Strause leaves three children one an
infant about month old. The body
was forwarded to Madison for inter-
mpnt.

Prominent men from all parts of the
