Sheriff Jeff Adams and several oth- CTS went out to the scene. Afterwards word was sent in to the police depart ment for more help. Marshal Moore accompanied by many curious on- lockers took the fair grounds car and went out to aid in the fire fighting
 As the fire spread the people in that neighborhood became very much alarmed and fears were entertained that field after field of dry grass and stubb}e would be set on fire and that the wind would carry the conflagra- tion to the houses. barns, fences and stacks of hay in its course, resulting in the loss of thousands of dollars worth of property. It was apparent that if the flames gained much head way no possible method or means available could prevent it from leav- ing path of blackened ruin. More help was considered necessary and Deputy Sheriff Wood asked the au- thorities at the Indian school for as- sistance. and large number of Indian boys were sent over to the burning fields.
 About forty acres of stubble was burned. with several stacks of straw on the Slocum ranch. and the fire was communicated to the Flaherty tract, which was recently purchased by J. w. Doris. The dividing line fence on the Adams ranch took fire but the flames made little progress in that di- rection. The nearest point to the fair grounds that the fire reached was dis tant about 300 yards and there 1t stopped as there was no more material to feed the blaze. At no time was there any imminent danger of the buildings at the fair grounds being consumed. Fearing that a possible rising wind might blow the fire to other fields a watch was kept last night and all precautions taken 70 prevent further loss. There was no water at hand to do much service in extinguishing the fire. and the matter was largely in the hands of provi- dence. Some success was had in beat ing back the creeping flames by the throwing on of dry earth and stamping out the fire as it sprang up in new places. It is not known how the fire originated.

 In the passing of Rev. J. J. Wingar Tempe has lost one of her oldest and most loyal friends. For many years he was a familiar and beloved figure on our streets. and no one privileged to enjoy his friendship will ever for get the kindly hand shake. the cordial welcome to all who visited him in his home. For nearly twenty years he groped in darkness, but the patience with which he bore up under this ter rible affliction was a powerful object lesson to all with whom he came in contact. A strong. able bodied ener- getic man. thus deprived of the one sense absolutely necessary for the ac- complishment of the work his hands desired to do and thus forced ito live a quiet life. not of service but most trying of all to one of his disposition, that of being served. could find recon ciliation in but one way and that on pended knees. One who knew and loved him well has said. several hours of each day in those first sad years were spent in prayer.
 But his mind was not inactive. His devoted family read to him the daily papers and best magazines, and in the long waking hours he thought out many a problem. in political and church life. It was a delight to talk to him and he greatly enjoyed the so- ciety of his friends.
 Fifteen years ago when the Congre- gational church was organized in Tempe he and his family became char ter members, and active workers in all Its branches, Rev, Wingar himself oft CT acting as supply in the absence of the regular pastor
 The members of this church as we'll as many other friends throughout the valley feel a deep sense of personal less in the death of Rev. Wingar. He was buried from the home of his daughter, Mrs. R. R. Root in Corona Cal, June %. Quantities of beautiful flowers testified to the regard of the many new friends made during his short residence there.

some more remote places. They had been driven about town until the thieves were tired. Last night horse and buggy belonging to Phil Whar- ton was removed from in front of the Mission saloon and at a late hour 1t had not been found. On Saturday night a young man accompanied by a lady left a horse and buggy hitched near the court house plaza. After a dinner at a restaurant the young man went after his rig and could not find it. About midnight it was brought back and left at the place whence it had been taken.

THE FOURTH AT ALHAM3RA.
Some Observations on the Saloon
 Controversy.

Alhambra, July 5.-(Special corres- pondence of The Republican)-The Ob- servance of the nations birthday of freedom was participated in here as usual, especially by the small boy and girls. From the peep of day. until a late hour at night the echo of fire crackers rang out on the air. Mir. and Mrs. Banks and children delightfully."- entertained on the evening of the Fourth with melons. ice cream and cake. followed by a very pretty display of fireworks. Among those present were J. P. Ivy and family; H. Renaud and family, Geo. Helm and family; w. G. Percy and family.
 The children then assembled and cel- ebrated the great day and following the roar of each great cracker. the yell went up from so many young patriots. "Hurrah for the American flag and the Fourth of July"
 Hay shipments are very steady the past two weeks from three to eight cars a day being delivered at the sta- ton. The price paid is $11 f. O. b. cars or warehouse. Alhambra.
 An issue of the Arizona Democrat of late contained a plea for sympathy from a department of the local joint here for tke assimilation of intoxicat- icants. We are sorry that the editor of that sheet should so carelessly lis- ten to such falsehoOds, for had he called up by phone the superintendent of schools or any citizen of Alhambra, he could have ascertained that such statement concerning the writer and his wife were utterly untrue and spok en maliciously and he would thus have saved many criticisms made concern ing the publishing of such rot.
 The writer was absent from the burg for three weeks and knew nothing of the charges brought against the joint until his return home. However. a ma jority of the law abiding citizens be- lieve that this place is anything but public benefactor and as the charges indicate that it is being maintained without police protection and not in ac- cordance with several phases of the present territorial laws. w.

Frank Mukai, the Japanese schoolboy

was arrested by the Federal authorities
for mailing an indecent letter to little
Marie Havelock, also a pupil in the
school, was released from the Alameda
County Jail yesterday on $1,000 bail fur

Mukai. with characteristic impudence
returned to Mill Valley and re-entered
the employ of DIR. REM and his wife
casion of rejoicing among his fellow
Nipponese, who had all returned to the
school, but great indi ghation was ex-
pressed by the citizens of the town.
Principal F. Houch declared in no un
certain tones that the boy should not be
allowed to return to the schoolroom, no
matter what the Federal officials might
do. If Mukai is not punished for send
ing an unprintable letter to an innocent
girl he-will at least be kept from fur-
Their communicating American girlhooo

So Mukai will not go back and be "a
schoolboy, even though DR.. Carl Renz

school Trustee oscar c.. Capplen1ann
of the Mill Valley schools declared II
his opinion that the mixing OF the
adult Japanese with young white chill

be tolerated.
A. Brizzolara, a prominent merchant
of San Francisco who lives in San An
selmo, expressed himself as being Wig
orously opposed to a continuance OF
the mixing of the two races in the
schoolrooms of this country. He point
ed out the fact that the offense OF
Mukai was not an isolated one. Ii
showed, he said, in the moral standards
of Mukai a standard so low that 1t pre-
vented Mukais Japanese associates
from seeing or. understanding the VII
lainy of his crime. Brizzolara has had
an unpleasant experience in his own
family through the mingling of the
Japanese and white children. His chill

nouncement Of the engagement of Miss
Frances Williams and William Mein.
son Of the late Thomas Mein. the South
African mining king and friend of Ce-
eli Rhodes and DIT. Jameson. Miss
Williams is a daughter of Gardner
Williams. who was also one of the
Americans who went into the land Of
the Beers and helped to develop the

in the national capital.
The wedding day is set for April 4.
Mein and his bride VIII depart soon
afterward for South Africa, where his
Interests are eentered in the further
prosecution Of important mining en-
gineering projects.
The story ~of this victory of Cupid is
one Of q school day romance. Miss Will
liams and her prospective husband
were school children together in Oak
land. The Winiamses lived in a fine
old home in Telegraph avenue, where
the young belle and beauty grew to
young womanhood. The Mems and the
Williamses were closely identified from
the associations Of the heads of the
families in the great South African de-
Nelopment projects.
After the death of Thomas Mein his
son William took up his fathers work
with remarkable success. He has at
tained high rank and eminent position
as one of the distinguished mining en-
S5neers and experts Of the world. Some

PLOT To ESCAPE FROM
ALCATRhz FRUSTRATED.
During Play Given Before
Prisoners Outbreak
Is Threatened
ACTOR HOLDS GUARDS
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr., Hyde
Played in More Ways
Than Expected
ACTOR HOLDS GUARDS

There is more than one way of play
ing "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde on AL
catraz Island. Prisoners of Camp 8,
planned to get away from the guards
on the evening of Washington's birth
day during performance arranged by
Jack" Stacey, who was formerly
member of-Richard Mansfield's aggre-
cation of theatrical talent.
Stacey did so well that he held the
attention Of the guards and the of
fcers and while the show was in.
progress a break for liberty was at
tempted by the No. camp. the prison
ers of which had been allowed to leave
their cells to enjoy the entertainment.
The commander of the post gave
Stacey permission to bring off the play.
The soldier prisoner. who belonged to
camp No. 1, where prisoners are held
for minor offenses, staged production
that was a credit to his managerial
powers and his faculty for adapting
himself to Mansfield's parts. The show
was great success and the 800 or
400 prisoners attending and the Of
ficers of the fort pronounced it far
above the average.
Soon after the curtain rang down on
the first act information was received
by the officer of the day that camp 3's
men had concocted a scheme to play
the part of innocents during the rem
dering of the first act and then sud
denly slip away from the hall, attack
the guards, seize a couple of boats at
the landing and escape to the main
land.
The applause had scarcely died out
after the Stacey idea of Stevensons s
character had been portrayed when
there was stir among the camp 3
rhen. In an instant the regular guard
closed In at every point of vantage and
bayonets and Krags took all the spirit
of revolt out of the mutineers. One by
one the conspirators were weeded out
of the audience and sent to their cells
The play then went on without further
|. interruption.
Stacey is said to be very clever and
his impersonations of Mansfield met
with the appreciation of those who wit
messed the show.
The camp men are still held in their
cells as punishment for, conspiring to
upset the dignity of Uncle Sam and
to play double role i'm United States
