HOUSE
 WHILE BURNING
Strange Actions of Mrs. Hattie Lee in Lowell-Many Cartridges Explode While House Burns-Mystery Con- nected with Burning of House.

Shortly after fire broke out in the home of Mrs. Hattie Lee, at Lowell, Tuesday morning, spectators and fire fighters were startled by a series of explosions, the volume of which plainly indicated that they were caused by the combustion of cartridges. The house was completely destroyed by fire and the owner has not been seen since, says the Bisbee Review.
 About 9 o'clock yesterday morning Eeighbors heard shots in the Lee home, and on going out to investigate saw the woman rush from the house and start towards Bisbee, while the dwelling was enveloped in flames. An alarm was sounded, but the flimsy ma ture of the structure and its dryness afforded easy prey for the fire, and it was consumed within few minutes. All during the time the house was blaz- ing series of cartridge explosions were heard. Just how many there were 1t is impossible to determine, but 1t was es- timated that at least couple of hun. dred shots went off.
 What caused the fire and how to ac- count for the mysterious action of the woman in rushing out of the house and away from Lowell are problems which the authorities have not yet been able to solve.
 The Lee house did not bear the best reputation, owing to the fact that there were frequent family disturbances which became nuisance to the neigh bors, and it was thought for while that possible the fire had been started to hide the traces of some crime. A search of the ruins brought to light nothing to suggest murder. The blaze did its work so quickly that it was thought at least the skeleton of a body would be left had 1t been burned.
 Mrs. Lee is the wife of the man who is now under indictment for the murder of c. l.. Davis last November. At the time of the killing it was reported that Lee had killed Davis because the latter had alienated his wife's affections.
 Up to late hour last night the ofi- eers had got no trace of Mrs. Lee.
 Lee, the man mentioned in the fore going, is working in one of the mining camps of this district as carpenter. He left here last November and went to Lowell, where he killed the man called Davis and was subsequently, ar rested and indicted for murder. He re- turned to Globe several months ago, having been released on bail.

The Metal Market

Copper continues quiet at unchanged prices. Lake is offered at 251a cents to 26 cents, and Electrolytie at 25H cents per pound. Consumers are still waiting; but they are showing more interest in the market every day, and it is a fact generally recognized that a very large amount of copper must be bought or contracted for in the inn mediate future. Available supplies are so exceedingly small that a break or decline in prices is as near an impossi- bility as anything in trade can be. The consumption demand is easily large enough to absorb every pound of cop per that will be ready for delivery dur ing June, July and August. Produc- CTS will have no difficulty in selling at the current level of prices all the cop pers they can send to market.
 Europe has been getting along, dur ing the past three or four months, with a surprisingly small amount of new cop per. It is supposed that consumers there have been using up the copper re- shipped from China and the remainder of the supplies which they bought last year at lower prices, and that they are now in position where they must buy more heavily or close down their fac tories and mills. The prospect is good, therefore, that there will be liberal for e;gn buying throughout the remainder of the present year.
 The future of the copper market is dependent wholly upon the general business situation. There will be an increase in production this year, but, for that matter, there has been an in- crease every year since copper sold at

noting that John Watson, a Waterman
in that city, but formerly a guard at

for divorce from his wife, formerly
Mrs. Elizabeth Pope. Of this city, whom
he married here. This morning The
Republican received the following
note from Mrs. Watson, dated at Den
yer, 1448 Bannock street, on the 18th,
and addressed to the editor of The
Republican:
Mrs. Watson's Letter.
l have just read in The Laramie Re.
publican the following: John Watson
sues Mrs. Watson for divorce"
1 nave had no notice of it. l had
$50 in the bank when he left Laramie,
which 1 deposited myself Of my own
savings. He left me in Laramie and
went to Washington, where he has
ever since remained.
Says They Had Understanding.
l did not say 1 would not join him
in Washington, for it was thoroughly
understood between US that l was to
come to Denver and establish a bust
ness and he would endeavor to obtain
a position as Waterman in the new
United States mint as soon as it was
opened and join me here. However, he
failed to do so, and l am still in Den
yer running a rooming house to the
best of my ability.
Separated from First Husband. {.
l did not know it vas customary to
pay the funeral expense OF a divorced
husband after eight years Of separa'
ton. Neither can I see how that can
have any bearing ON the case.
Please copy this in your paper and
anything else that may be in my favor
as you are acquainted with the cir
cumstance Of his going to Washington
shortly after our marriage, and asked
me for money to bring him home.

To the Public:
This announcement is an an
nuai one, especially coming at
this season ofthe year.

Six years ago | came before
the public as a retail dealer in
a small way proportionate with
my ability then, and while it has
not grown to mammoth proper
tions yet | am not ashamed or
afraid to rehearse the record
then and now.
So far as a living share of the
patronage of the general pub
lie is concerned, | feel that |
can fully appreciate the patron
age of any and all people, and
why? In the first place, prior
to the war of the Sixties, was
placed in the Ledger office to
learn the TRADE. The time fol-
lowing, for many years, found
me rigidly adhering to the So
Der, honest upbuilding of the
craft in my native town and to
which loved to cling Gas the
old citizens of the county we'll
know until i'll health forced me
from the trade. | adopted this
business as a means of support
for myself, disdaming the idea
of appealing to charity.
A liberal share Of the patron
age solicited and will be thank
fully received.
Any orders left with me for
Thanksgiving supplies or Christ
mas confectioneries, fruits,
oranges, raisins, nuts, ETC., will
be highly appreciated and care
fully filled.
