LAMP EXPLODES
 AND STARTS FIRE
Flames Reduce HankeI Home to Ruins = Department
 Does Good Work.

Last night at 10:1 IS a fire broke out in the home of c. G. Hankel, who is employed at Tovrea's market. and be- fore anything could be done the house and entire contents had been destroy ed by the flames.
 The house was situated short dis tance above the lumber yard on Brew cry Avenue, and was built entirely of wood. Henkel had gone out to lodge and his wife having put the badly to bed, decided to read while she await ed her husbands return. About 10: 15 o'clock Mrs. Hankel became tired and decided to retire for the night. She had been reading by light of an oil lamp, and when she turned down the flame the lamp exploded, throwing burning oil in all directions.
 It was only matter of a couple of minutes before the entire side of the house was in flames. The woman did her best to quench the flames, but had to give up the fight. She caught up her baby .n her arms and running out of the house screamed, alarming the isSiSuDOIS Nup luhituidltis luIHcN III an alarm.
 The fireboys responded quickly tc the call, and after many difficulties in getting the hose to the place of the fire, did good work. It was necessary to haul the hose up the hill a distance drove the point at which the house was situated, and then haul it ovei fences and other obstacles. The house being entirely frame and very dry was a sheet of flames when the fire boys got there. but they soon quench ed the flames, although everything. in cluding the house was a total wreck.
 It was very fortunate thing tha there was no wind last night, or 1t i: probable that there would have beer ar extensive fire. The houses sur rounding the burning one were very hot from the heat thrown off by tho flames. but fortunately no sparks fel on them.
 It is understood that the Hanke house and contents were insured ir the Phoenix of London Fire Insurance company, of which E. J. O Reilly is the local agent. The insurance amounts to 5000.

attorney, who had the courage 10 say that the tax payers were not getting what was due them, and still greater courage to act on his opinion, in a manner which would at least decide who was entitled to the money. Feel ing in the matter ran so high that a six-shooter was placed at the dis trict attorneys stomach, and he was called several opprobricus names. but neither the proximity of the six-shoot- CT. or the calling of the names ex- cited the young man. and Ashurst again told the gun fighter that he was g7after The gun was not fired, but if the man behind the gun had any ioea of frightening the manin-front- of-thegun by telling him that het was going 10 shoot. and aiming the gun al vital point, he showed that he did not know the man with whom he was dealing.
 Ashurst was in Bisbee to attend the Democratic Territorial convention, and when asked about the gun episode, smiled and said that he was in no danger. When asked if he intended to continue the fight, the smile left his face, and with a look of determination he replied in very quiet tone that he thought he would. When asked about the details of the case, and vhst he intended to do. Ashlrst said that he didn't care to try the case in the newspapers; he did not think il was the proper place. but added that he would do all in his power to have the money given to the county.
 Asnurst has announced himself as a candidate for reelection 10 the of flee of district attorney of his county and although Coconino has always been looked upon as a Republican stronghold. and there will be a de termined eort on the part of a certain class to defeat him. there does moi seem to be the slightest doubt of his election by an overwhelming majority

MEX. HAVE CORNER
 ON HORSE STEALING
PurIoin Horses in One County and Dispose of Them in
 Another.

DOUGLAS. Sept. 1.-(Special.)-
 A remarkable case of horse stealing has come up in Gila and Pima coun- ties, in which a couple of Mexicans are concerned, and have been doing a rushing business in their line. Re gently, Alex. Torres was arrested in Tucson by John Wilton, constable of Christmas precinct, on charge of grand larceny, which constituted the theft of a horse from Mexican bar ber some two months ago. Torres had taken the animal 10 Pima county and traded it to Mexican named Fri gio.
 So far, the story is commonplace and very like the ordinary horsesteal ing episode. But in following the case there were many interesting develop ments. Trigio was located in the Pima county jail, where he is serving six months sentence for a misdemeanor, just an ordinary crime, such as he could commit without half trying. He had long been held under suspicion, and his connection with Torres devel- oped the fac. that Trigio was also a horsethief. They were not exactly partners, but they operated under a sort of reciprocity treaty.
 It was found that Trigio had been stealing horses in Pima county and taking them to Gila county, where he would dispose of them to Torres. Pre- sumably it was the plan for them to have some halfway point where they could meet and trade.
 Torres will be ta1en back to Gila county for trial, and when Trigio fin ishes his jail sentence he will probably be tried for horsestealing also.

ASHURST INTENDS ID CARRY ON
 BIG SUIT
District Attorney of Coconino Will Not Quit Suit Against
 Recorder.

When Henry F. Ashurst, district at torney of Coconino county, stepped from the train a day or two ago in Bisbee, he wse. ee~esed oy several friends who congratulated him upon his escape from assassination at the hands of a certain gentleman whom he is suing in behalf of his county.
 It has been reported over the Terri tory for some time, that everything was not very pleasing among the of- fic;als of Coconino county. The cause of the trouble, it is said. was the fact that District Attorney Ashurst took exception to the way County Re corded Hibbin managed the finances of the recorders office, and prosecuted that official.
 It seems that Hibbin had few friends on the Board of Supervisors of the county, and that against the legal advice and the written protest of the district attorney, they compromised the suit with the county recorded for the sum of S1, which settlement did Tot meet with the approval of the dis trict attorney, because he was fighting to make the recorder return the sun, of something in excess of $12,000 te the coffers of the county.
 In bringing the suit against Hbbin- AshuTst alleged that the recorder had violated the Territorial law. and ap' propriated fees which ought to go to the county. euls ss0
