Srecial 70 The Herald.

ST ecial 10 The Herald.
LONG BEACH, June 22.-Richard H.
Truax was enjoying a hot bath at his
home, 1923 American avenue, this after
noon when neighbors rushed into the
house and pounded upon the bathroom
door, shouting that the house was on
fire. Truax dressed quickly, though
simply, and made his escape.
The fire department had arrived al
ready and the flames were confined to
the roof. Water did much damage
however. to the interior. A pipe lead
ing from the instantaneous heater is
believed to have been the cause of the
trouble.

NOTES OF CURRENT EVENTS

Special to Inc Herald
SAN BERNARDINO, Ju,a 22.-Peter
Lafata was today sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary for robbing
Mrs. Stair of about $500. The sentence
would have been made heavier had
there not been a doubt as to whether
he actually committed the robbery.
Several warrants were issued today
by request of the district attorney for
blind pig operators in Ontario. 1t is
said that for some time the officers
have been gathering evidence as to the
operations of joints of this character in
Ontario, and arrests will be made this
week.
The supervisors today awarded con-
tracts for supplies for the coming year,
including drugs, stationery, groceries,
hospital supplies and other articles, the
city concerns which receive the major
portion of the business, being the low
est bidders.

Political Notes.

Four thousand Ralph Cameron
buttons are being worn in Cochise
county and the demand is still in
excess of the supply. Not a mail
goes out from the headquarters OF
the Republican Territorial Com
mittee at the Smith bungalow at
Bakersville which does not carry
hundreds of Cameron badges. The
demand comes from every section,
not only from Cochise county, but
of all Arizona. 1t is the demand
| in Cochise, however, that is so
pleasing in Hoval Smith.
The total registration of Cochise
county is 1895. This is an increase
of 903 over two years ago. Ever
since he took charge of the Repub-
lican campaign, Chairman Smith
has made strenuous efforts to get
every Republican vote registered.
1t has been a notorious fact, and
one which has given much alarm
to the Democratic bosses of Cochise,
4 that hundreds of Democratic voters
have left the county in the past
year owing to the closing down OF
many mines because of the drop in
the price of copper which made the
mines Improbable to work. Chair
man Smith attributes the large in
crease in registration to the efforts
of the committee in getting out the
Republican vote, and so is cores
pondingly ju5ilant.
The same efforts which have
been put forth in Cochise have alsC
been made in ella and Graham
Both show a large registration in
crease; 327 in ella, while the exac
figures of Graham are not We
J available. On accurate data tn
r Republicans can claim 200 OF tn
r ella increase.
4 The increase in Yuma is 30z
: largely agricultural and yer
9 largely Republican. Yuma tw
0 years ago gave Cooper a pluralit
e of 90 over Smith, and this at tn
time when Smith polled his larges
IS vote on account OF his statehoo
n fight. Chairman Smith has reliabl
G data which gives Yuma to Camera
d by not less than 1875.

to have great day and many visitors.
Eight teachers and want-to- be-teach-

One of the latest improvements in
our town is an ice house, built by one
of our merchants, G. +. Luster.

FIRE AT SULPHUR ROCK
o. [. Hoover & Company's Store
Burned Early Yesterday Morning

Fire at Sulphur Rock early yester-
day Thursday morning completely
destroyed O. L. Hoover & Company S
store building and entire contents.
The fire was discovered by John
Huddleston about daybreak, but had
gained such Roadway that it was inn
possible to check the flames or save
anything from the burning building
The building and entire stock were
a complete loss. The Journal has
been unable to get the exact loss, but
it is perhaps something like s6, 900,
with only 81, 500 insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
as there had been no fire in the house
for some time, but it is supposed to
have been caused by mice gnawing a
match. Another theory is that the
store was robbed and set on fire by
the burglars in an attempt to cover up
the robbery.
The safe. which contained about S75,
mostly in paper money, and books and
accounts, was dragged from the ruins
about s O'Clock yesterday morning and
appears to be badly damaged, and it
is feared that the contents of the safe
were destroyed. The safe cannot be
opened before today.
Mr.. Hoover carried a good stock
and was doing. thriving business.
Owing to the light insurance carried,
the loss falls heavily upon him and
his many friends deeply regret his
misfortune.

FREIGT TRAINS COLLIDE

Judsonia, June 6.-One man was
killed, another was fatally injured and
several others received minor injuries
in a head-on collision between two
freight trains which came together on
curve about half way between this
place and Kensett at lis this after
noon.
The trains which came together were
the south-bound local freight and a
"fruit special" Both engines We're
demolished and ten carloads of fruit
and five carloads of potatoes were
wrecked.
The man killed was j. r. Lewis who
was beating his way on the fruit train.
He and three other tramps, were beat
ing their way, riding in car of po-
tatoes. John Green another tramp
was perhaps fatally injured. None of
the train crew were seriously injured.

JONES AND BRYAN

According TO one of the newspaper
accounts of the life of the late James
K. Jones, William J Bryan owes
much, possibly everything, to the
former Arkansas senator. There are
moments in history when mere chance
has seemed to determine mans des-
tiny, and such moment is said to
have come in the life of MIR. Bryan at
the Democratice national convention
of 1896
Senator Jones, who was chairman
of the Resolutions Committee, was
chosen with Senator Tillman and Gov
Altgeld of Illinois to present to the
convention the majority report of the
committee. Mr.. Bryan wasspermitted
by Senator Jones to be his substitute.
As a result of this Arrangement Mr.
Bryan got the opportunity to deliver
the famous ''cross of gold'i speech.
which surely had great effect in
winning for him the nomination for
president.

AGRICULTURAL PALACE
Magnificent Hall Devoted Entirely to-
Farm Products at the State Fair

The agricultural divisions of the
State Fair to be held at Hot Springs
this fall will be very important factors
and quite extensive, as they justly
should be in this great commonwealth
of such varied productiveness.
The main portion of the farm, mill
and horticultural exhibits will be
placed in the Agricultural Palace
This is a splendid building of about
one hundred by seventy feet floor
space with magnificent balcony ex-
tending the full length of one side and
end. Agricultural Palace is almost
entirely of glass side walls and has a
rake finish interior, admitting of ideal
decorations with grains, cereals, etc.
This immense structure is just south
of the main Exposition Palace and is
connected with it on the ground floor
by covered walk and on the second
floor by an overhead balcony.
The premiums in the various indus
trial department have been materially
increased and better adapted to the
resources of Arkansas.
In addition to the individual pre-
miums in cash, diplomas and ribbons,
there are three pemiums OF 800, 500
and s25, respectively, for the three
counties that have the best collective
exhibits at the State Fair. These
county exhibit premiums are given in
addition to the premiums that are
awarded the individual exhibitors
whose exhibits comprise the collective
exhibits and in no way interfere with
the personal exhibitions.
