SAFFORD HOTEL DESTROYED BY
 FIRE
Billy Williams Is Suffocated By Smoke and Body Cremated
 In the Room Where He Was
 Sleeping. .'.

SAFFORD, Jan. 21.-Ffre was dis covered in the Stafford House about o'clock Thursday morning and the alarm was sounded by the firing of pistols and shouts of Fire! Ffre!" Immediately men awoke from their morning slumbers and hurried to the scene only to find the house 50 mearIy enveloped in flames that but little could be done in carrying out and saving the furniture.
 The first man to discover the fire was Wilbur Hams, who roomed in the house adjoining the doomed building, and rushing to the house gave the alarm to the inmates. A Mir. Beatty rushed to the family room crushed in the door and aroused the family and the roomers just in time to save a num- Der of lives. Every body escaped from the fury of the flames but one man.
 The unfortunate man, whose life was snuffed out and whose charTed remains were left to tell the story of a horrible death by burning, was Billy Williams. Williams was the last man | to retire, and came to the hotel about an hour before the fire broke out, The origin of the fire is not known. but it is thought by some that g
 lighted match dropped by Mir. VII
 Hams was the cause. This, of course will never be known. AS the part of the house where Williams roomed was l the first to burn it is supposed that he was overcome by the smoke before 1 he could be awakened from the sound
 sleep into which he had fallen.
 The Stafford House was the property of Mrs. Charles Freeman of Clifton
 who occupied the building for many | years, but two years ago the building
 was leased to Y. Hudson, who used
 it as a hotel and lodging house. Thf building contained IS or 20 rooms. The loss on the house alone will probably be about s2500 or 5000, with no in. surance, but fortunately for MT. Hud son, who owned the principal part of | the furniture and fixtures in the build ing, had 5000 insurance on his furni- | ture. A few articles of bedding, a number of chairs and a trunk were taken from the rapidly burning house. It is reported that every room in the | house was occupied by lodgers and many of them had narrow escapes from being burned to death in the doomed building.
 Coroner Fonda summoned jury to | inquire into the death of Billy Will Hams After hearing the testimony of witnesses, the jury returned yer. l dict that deceased came to his death in the Stafford House firesand origin | of fire unknown. [

Alderman Hogan has his resignation written out and ready to hand to the council at its next meeting. It has been ready for presentation since January 1. It was not presented at meetings of this body which were held since that date because of over- sight. gF
 Recently there has been some Qnes- ton as to whether Mir. Hogan could hold the office of councilman and jus. tice of the peace. A special to the Review Saturday night from Tomb stone stated that this matter had reached there. and that prominent at torneys of that city had been asked for an opinion. The opinion given there was that Hogan could not act as justice of the peace in Bisbee and as alderman of the same city at the same time, because he might be called upon to try 9 case under an ordinance he had passed.
 Attorney J. NJ. O'Connel has pre- pared an opinion on the subject, at the request of MT. Hogan, in which he says the two offices are inconsistent His opinion states that at council meeting "nSie luSTe IS d ClOSS NOtS MT. Hogan may cast the deciding vote for the ordinance. and later be called upon in the capacity of a justice tC try a case under this ordinance. This O'Connel holds, would be unconstitu tional, as it would mean one-maI power. MT. Hogan was seen yester day relative to the matter and said:
 q handed my resignation to City Clerk Hicks, with instructions for hin to present it to the council at some future date-I was to let him know when to present it. will hold nC office where there is any question about the legality of my holding 1t, ol where the people are dissatisfied.

THE NORTH POLE EXPLORER HAS !. ENTERTAINED
Invites Friends In Paris and Also Prominent AeronautS to Visit His Hugh SteerabIe Balloon.

PARIS. Jan. 19:-Walter Wellman of the Chicago Record.Herald north pole expedition invited his friends in Paris, as we'll as leading aeronauts, to visit his huge steerable balloon in the Gallerie Des Machines yesterday afternoon. The vast aerostat, lying fully inflated with coal gas ln one end of the building. loomed like some huge stranded vessel in the dull Jan uary light.
 NJ. Deutsch was there for a while, with Capt. Ferber. George Bans and Ia group of journalists. LIT. wellman received his guests ana explained the objects he had in view.
 Goes North in May.
 By the end of May" he explained to a correspondent, T hope to have completed all my arrangements and to be ready to start for Spitzbergen. II have decided to lengtnen the balloon lby five meters, and to do this it will be necessary to cut the balloon in two halves and take in the necessary ma terial. It will then have a total length of ffty-five meters with a max imum diameter of sixteen metersy q hope then to have sufficient as lcensional force to lift 5000 kilograms | of petrol and provisions, motor sIedges and crew, making a total oi lS30O Kilograms. The motor will have from eighty to one hundred horsepow CT and will turn two propellers, eth CT together or independently.
 Speed of Sixteen Miles. ! We calculate to nave U speed oi about sixteen miles an hour. The 5000 Kilograms of petrol will enable the motor to turn for about 1900 miles at the speed. The nacelle Of light steel tubes is quite speciality, and is now being constructed at the works at Genniyilliers When these parts are completed shall invite my friends out there to inspect them.
 we are pushing things along as fast as possible in order not to be de i layed in our journey north. The ob | feet of the present infation is to test the quality of the balloon and its gas holding properties. So far we are more than satisfied with the results

He attracted the attention of the outside world by tapping on an air pipe and this pipe later conveyed to him liquid refreshments, which kept him in humor and sustained life for fifteen days. His rescue was ac, lcomplished by driving tunnel, and when his comrades again greeted him on the surface there was memorable i jollification.

If there had been a single and sensible effort made to de- tect the murderers in this case, I fail to find a record of 1t. Reliance upon the inquiry set on foot by Major Block som and General Darlington as the mind nothing less than idiotic. The whole procedure has the appearance of a well laid plan to shield and protect the real criminals and hurry the ex- pulsion of innocent and guilty men alike from the army, so as to put it out of the power of anybody to ever prove who the guilty men were, and mete out adequate punishment to them.

SOME THINGS ABOUT
HON. CHAMP CLARK

Hon. Champ Clark, who spoke at
the Chautauqua ground Tuesday after
noon on Picturesque Public Men," is
a native of Kentucky and has repre-
scented the ninth Missouri district in
the lower branch of the national con-
gress for thirteen years. Mr.. Clark
is a Democrat in politics and is one
of the leaders of that organization
upon all questions affecting legisla-
ton and party policy and expediency.
In conversation with a number of
friends this morning Mr.. Clark talked
Interestingly of his public career and
of the men he had met during his
official life at Washington. For six
years he was member. of the foreign
affairs committee Of congress and for
as many more has occupied similar
position on the appropriations COM

than one term, for as rule they are
never able to command the attention
of their fellows, and can be OF no
service to their constituents. Ex-Gov-

Of the new member of congress to see
how he handled a subject. II he

the next time he occupied the floor.

WILL SOON HAVE NEW
PLACE OF WORSHIP

Work on the Christian church has
reached such stage as to give one
a good idea how the completed struc-
ture will look, both inside and out,
and the impression is on the whole
a very pleasing one. The architecture
Is distinctly different from anything
OF the kind In the city and Is admirably
adapted for the uses Of the congre-
CATION designed to occupy It as a
place Of worship. When finished the
building will have cost approximately
$11 900, and 1t is regarded as an ex-
cellent structure for that amount Of
money. 1t will not be dedicated until
October, when Rev. H. o. Breeden, of
Des Moines. Iowa, will conduct a
series of evangelistic meetings here.

STREETS SUNDAY MORNING

The little two and half year old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. r. Moore OF
Laredo, Texas. who are visiting in

home about 8 o'clock Sunday morning

accident had befallen him. A search
party was organized, but no clue to
the missing child could be found for
some time. He was finally located at
the home OF Mrs II. X. Nelson, 612

JOHN RITZMAN BELIEVES
IN BUYING At HOME

John Ritzman believes in building
up the town he lives in. He has his
money Invested in Canon City and he
believes he prospers best II those In
other lines prosper.
In opening up his new hotel he put
the entire order for furnishings In
the hands OF Avery & Robson, who
did 1t well.
Instead of sending his orders for
printing to the so called cheap hotel
printers In the big cities he had It all
done In Canon City.
And his groceries and supplies and
everything In fact were purchased
from home merchants.
Such men and such hotels as the
Rio Grande should have the hearty
support Of the business public.
Hotels as a rule do exactly the re-
verse. They say that they do not get
their support from home people SO
why spend their money at home-if
they can save penny by going away.
So II Is refreshing indeed to find a
mansin the hotel business who believes
in patronizing home industries.
