Let Uncle Sam
Settle it for Good.

Mr.. ClOwry and Mr.. Nally, respect
lively representing the Western Union
and the Postal, assert in effect that
the strike is over, as far as they are
concerned; that normal conditions
have been restored as to character
and efficiency of service.
Just what to make of the statement
is hard to guess. 1t may mean that
they don't know what they are talk
ing about. 1t may mean that they
think the public is getting as good
service as the public is entitled to-
1t may mean purely and simply that
the two QuaSi-magnates are merely
indulging in the great American
prerogative of .'bluffing" for the sake
of whatever effect it may have on
the public and the outcome of the
strike. Or, it may possibly Dust
barely possibly mean. that they really
what the public has long known by
hard experience, that the manage
ment of the private telegraph bust
ness of this country has long been in
competent and disregardful of the
public convenience.
The statement of Mr. Clowry. and
also the similar statement, (not quite
as intense) of Mr.. Nally, both of them
to the contrary Notwithstanding. the
Associated Press is authority for the
statement that the contest appears to
have settled down to a waiting game,

DENVER STRIKERS.
STANDING FIRM
Bv Associated Press.

Denver, Aug. 19.-The strike situa-
ton here remains unchanged. There
have been no assertions and the strik-
ers are confident Of winning the fight.
The Associated Press is badly crippled
in the West and since the beginning
of the strike its service has been
weak and uncertain.
Absolute proof that the Western
Union Telegraph company is using the
mails to forward its accumulated bust
ness was furnished by A. p Reed, of
Deertrail, Colo, who received tele-
gram dated Omaha, Neb., August Is,

to the shelter of the galleries in dread
of the expected shooting among the
rioters above them, and the panic was
not ATTENDED with any serious, coRse-

directions and the services of ply
sicians were greatly in demand; but
even new few were in a hurry to
leave the auditorium after the fire
panic had been quelled. The battle
with pop bottles was still raging in
the gallery while the noise in the
densely crowded Hobbies became DEAF

general that the fighting had spread
to the stairs and the lower Hobbies,
or perhaps the streets, and those who
were safe for the time being had no
desire to go out and seek further
trouble.

Struggling through the densely
crowded lobby were to be seen many
of the former occupants of the peanut
gallery. All had their clothing liter
ally drenched with Precipitation, and
like nine-tenths of the men in the
theatre they were carrying their
coats on their arms. As the young
fellows struggled through the crowd,
evidently to escape arrest, nearly all
had their shirts stained with the red
lime wash of the walls, while not a
few had stains on their shirts which
indicated copioUs bleeding. How
many were cut and wounded in this
condensed riot may never be known. |

THINKS HERSELF CHRIST
 DOES BISBEE WONAN
Mrs, Joseph Pratt of This City Taken to Tombstone
 Spoke on Streets.

Mrs. Joseph Pratt, who has been living in Tombstone Canyon, was talk en to Tombstone yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Bill White, where she will be arraigped before the probate Judse on charge of insanity. There is little doubt that the charge will be szs- tained.
 Mrs. Pratt has been suspected ct not being in her ringht mind for some time, but it was only within the last few days that she became violent. Sunday she appeared on the streets proclaiming to all who would near that she was none other than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She entered some of the stores that were open and denounced the owners for trans acting business on the Sabbath anu breaking the law of the Scriptures. After leaving store she would go on the outside and proclaim the mis- deeds of the proprietors to the pub lie.
 She was finally taken into custody by City Marshall Snodgrass and plac- ed In the jail in the hope that by morning she would be in a calmer frame of mind. This did not prove eo be the cose, and accordingly she was taken to Tombstone as stated above.
 It Is said that Mrs. Pratt has dweit too much upon the subject of religion for the sanity of her mind.

GARNER BOUND OVER
 10 GRAND JURY
Charged With Assault on Joe Williams-0nly Territorial
 Witnesses Were Heard.

The preliminary hearing Of George Garner, charged with an assault upon Joe Williams, was. heard yesterday afternoon at o'clock in Judge Ho- gan's court and the defendant bound over to the grand jury. The incident occurred last week at the change room of the L. s. & P, at which time Williams received several gashes in the back and Garner was hit over the head with an iron bar.
 Only part of the witnesses for the territory were heard, the defense stat ing to the court before Tie witnesses for the plaintiff had all been examin- ad that t u-olild mt infrndnno any of its witnesses. A large number of witnesses who had been subpoenaed were given permission to go home.
 The substance of the evidence as told by the witnesses for the territory was as follows:
 Garn& and Williams got into a dis pute about a debt and Garner drew his knife Williams turned and ran, call ing out that he was cut. Whether he received the cuts before or after he began to run, none of the witnesses stated. Afteb few steps Garner stop ped and went back to his locker. VII Hams, who had meantime secured a piece of iron, walked back toward where Garner was. Whether he went for the purpose of making an attack or for the purpose of getting his clothes, was not shown. His locker and Gamers were side by side. Gar ner called out to Williams not to come near him, but some one stepped in between the two and asked Garner not to use his knife any more. Just what happened at this point was not very clearly brought out, but the wit nesses agreed that Williams attacked Garner, struck him over the head sey- eral times with a piece of iron and that Garner ran and got under the water trough, thus ending the dfffi- culty.

GIRL ACCUSES AHREN IF

Former BiSbee Girl Alleged Victim of Mock Marriage In Chicago to Thomas Ahren, Also From BiSbee.
Especial to Rev.ew.)


 CHICAGO, Nov 25.-Miss Esther Powers, formerly of Bisbee, Arizona has alE. eIlst iz -this nitzz alainet 1,hns Ahren. also from that city. in which she alleges that Ahren seduced her into Q mock marriage, and that she wishes to prosecute him for the same.
 According to information received here Miss Powers and Ahren came to Chicago about six months ago from Bisbee, Arizona. and as the girl thought, were married here. She now alleges that the ceremony was a mock one, that the alleged minister was but dummy prepared for the occasion, and that was what was supposed to be the marriage license was in reality not a legal document.
 Ahren and the young woman met in Bssbee after she and her sister had gone there from Phoenix, where the older became infatuated with Ahren. who was employed in the blacksmith shops of the Copper Queen Mining company.
 After the arrival here they were married, as Ahren told her But re- gently she began to suspect that there was something wrong with the cere- mony, and alleges that investigation proved to her that the whole affair had been prearranged. and that in stead of being legally married, she had been living with man who was in no way legally her husband, but who had planned and plotted to de- ceive her and ruin her life.

.INCEND|ARY FIRE IN DON LUIS
 SUNDAY
Quick Work Saves Destruction
 of Dwelling Sunday Night lnfenal Contrivance Found
 After Fire Is Distinguished

The heroic efforts of neighbors Sun day night saved the dwelling house of Mrs. Abigail Conchin, postmistress at Don Luis from des.Idction by fire. At about S:45 o'clock ueighbors saw flames leaping from the front poren of the residence, which illuminated the netghborhood for quite a distance, and the alarm was shouted. Charles Bendorf, who lives in the adjoining house, and James Malley, another lneighbor, were the first at the scene, and through their efforts the flames were extinguished, but not until after MT. Malley received some bad burns on his feet Mir. Malley had been pre- pairing to retire for the night when the fire was discovered and he hasten ed there barefooted.
 Upon arriving at the house the flames were leaping to a great height, and the small of gasoline was very pronounced. Bed clothing was thrown on the flames, and after short but hard struggle, they were smothered. On the porch at the time the gentle men appeared were a ten-pound lard bucket filed with gasoline which had not ignited. two beer bottles filled with the same, and a one-gallon demi- john also filled with the dangerous oil. The flames emanated from gunny sacks saturated with gasoline and from burning oakum.
 When the fire occurred Mrs. Con chin and her brother were at church and two children. aged about s and 4 years respectively, were sn the house alone. The eldest, Minnie, SEW the flames soon after started, and ran around the house, crying that the home was afire Sue emphatically stated that she saw a man running from the house and that he wore a black shirt and hat, and blue jacket and oyeralls. She was a bit con fused as to whether he was clean shaven or that he wore a black mustach. and but little credence can be placed on the child's story. She also stated that the man in question ran toward the L. s. & P. shaft No. 3.
 The damage done by the fire was very little. the porch being but charred in one end, and can be repaired at a cost of about s5.
 Who the guilty party or parties are is not known. although suspicion had been directed upon several. The fire was in the Hedburg addition, where four fires have occurred in the past year. During the past two or three weeks many valuable watch dogs have been poisoned, the majority being kill ed in the vicinity of last nights oe- currence. Two valuable English set ters were poisoned the past week, be longing to Charles Bendorf, and one helong,ng to Mrs. Conchin When Mr, Bendorf lost his dogs he became sus- pieious of another fire. as in the past conffagrations. dogs in the neighbor- hood were killed. and last night he had determined to keep a lookout for suspicious characters. Many men in the towns.te have been keeping loaded firearms in their homes since the last fire which occurred a few months ago,
