settles FOR
vile insult
With LIFE
With Blow of Fist lrishman
Kills Smelterman Who Call
ed Him Loathsome Name.
Landed on Point of law.

PRESCOTT, Jan. 10.-A smelterman
named Miller, who was employed at
the United Verde smelter in Jerome,
is dead as the result of being struck
by Tim Monahan, shift boss of the
convertors and the latter is under
arrest, pending the outcome of the
eoroner's inquest to be held today.
The affray occurred yesterday
morning about o'clock. Monahan, II
is alleged, noticed that the molten
metal was leaking at the base of one
of the flu. Ices, and inquired OF Mil
Ter who was in charge of that par
ticular work, why he did not clean out
the metal trough. Miller retorted by
applying to Monahan a vile epithet,
the litter resenting this with the re-
mark that while he might be an Irish
man, his mother was not what Miller
intimated she was.
Miller is said to have put his hands
on Monahan. with the evident inten-
ton of throwing him to the floor of
the smelter room. or of engaging in a
rough and tumble fight with him, but
before he had accomplished mis- pur-
pose Monahan struck him a heavy
blow in the face. Miller staggered
back and Monahan is said to have
walked away.
Miller made an effort to return to
his work, but faltered, and would
have fallen into the boiling mass of
metal had not his companions caught
and upheld him. He stood upright
for moment or two, then walked to
a nearby door, where he stood for a
few seconds, as though to cool off.
Suddenly he crumpled up and FELL to
the ground. When his companions
reached him he was dead.
Monahan was at once taken into
custody, and will be held pending the
result OF today's inquest, before the
complaint is lodged against aim.
Some of the witnesses of the af-
fray declare Monahan struck Miller
on the point of the jaw. This will
probably be definitely determined at
the inquest. .f
Both men were married and well
known in Jerome among the United
Verde employees, having lived in the
copper city for some time. Both had
numerous friends who regret the al
fair as very unfortunate termination
to a trivial quarrel.

INTERESTING COMMENT ON
PAGES APPOINTMENT

Commenting on the appointment OF
John Page to be Secretary OF the Ter
ritory, the Phoenix Gazette, which Is
supposed to be on very friendly
terms with the governors office, has
the following comment:
The news of the appointment OF Mr..
Page to the position OF Secretary OF
Arizona was received with great sur
prise at the capitol, not because 1t
was not known by the governor and
Secretary Nichols that Mr.. Page
would be made at this time.
When Secretary Nichols was called
ND by the Gazette he stated that he had
not been a candidate for reappoint-
ment and that Mr.. Page had been
recommended for the position by Gov
ernor Kibbey some time ago, to take
Office at the expiration OF his term OF
office, which win be on April OIL
this year.
There is an interesting story con-
nected with the appointment OF Mr..
Page which has to do with the poilt-
zeal aspirations of two of the prom
inent members Of the republican
party In the southern part of the ter
ritory which has not been made pub
lie until today 1t seems that some
time ago National Committeeman
Sturges Of Pima county recommended
NJ. E. Cassidy for the position OF Sec
rotary of Arizona Mr.. Cassidy is the
present postmaster Of Bisbee and a
warm personal friend Of Sturges.
When Governor KIbbey was Informed
Of the action of the national commit
teeman, it became necessary for him
to recommend a successor to Mr.
Nichols, who had decided not to be
a candidate, and he sent in the name
Of Mr.. Page and soon after he was in
formed by the President that MT
Page would be appointed in due time.
Mr.. Nichols term of Office expires on
April T.. and it was not thought that
the announcement would be made IN
til some time in March.
It is also stated that Sturges was
candidate Tor secretary prior to the
time he. recommended Cassidy.

IS GIVEN WHAT WILL
Be A LIFE SENTENCE
Man Seyenty-Fhe Years Old
Goes to Yuma for Crime
Against Own Daughter,

PHOENIX, Jan. 1O.-Gray-headed
and old, the marks OF his disgrace
showing plainly in his face. IAsaro
Burron was sentenced by Justice
Kent in the district court this morn
Ing to serve eight years In the Yuma
penitentiary for the cine Of rape and
incest, his own daughter being the
victim.
But Ter the loss of ais birth certif-
icate Barron said he would show to
the court that he is IS years OF age,
though TO the observer he has the
appearance of a man hardly beyond
so years.
Barron had nothing to say when
Justice Kent asked him il there was
any reason why the sentence should
not be imposed, except to reiterate
his claim that he is innocent of the
crime for which he has been con-
victed.
Twice Barron faced a jury, first
time no verdict being reached on ac-
count of a disagreement. When the
second trial ended the jury remained
out long enough to establish that
there must have been doubt in the
minds OF some of them as to the guilt
of the man.
This hesitation of the jury in de-
claring Barron, guilty man was
what got for him only eight years,
though eight years is believed to be
equivalent to life for the unfortunate
old man.
Barron win be taken to Yuma by
Sheriff Hayden to serve his sentence.
II he lives the eight years, and gives
his age incorrectly, he will again be a
free man at the advanced age Of SO
years.

By the best reckoning the earth's

bids fair to be much greater. 1t has

the experienced travellers from every
country of the world.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. 1t has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. Its walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
are very sociable people, and the rec
ords of the ballroom show that it is
occupied an average of three times a
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
of it's kind west of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, a hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. 1t is
the best illustration of hall of the
Norman period Even the tesselated
floor is made of special design, char
acteristic of the Norman times From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers OF
quaint design, made of hand Wrought
iron in Paris especially for this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, a broau,
tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city.

Two years ago, when the fire was rag
ing at its worst, the sight of the classic
outlines of the Fairrnont Hotel, stand
ing out white against the black clouds
of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou.
sands. When the flames swirled ferceIy
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of its in
terror. How well the building was con-
structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
fire and its Accomplishments without a
single injury other than the complete
destruction of everything infammable
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at cost of over two
million dollars, the work of reconstruc-
ton went on. Over a million dollars
was spent in interior finishlngs and fur
niture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak well for the care and taste used
in the selection. The formal opening
of the hotel to the public took place on
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open to the public with splen-
lid reception, to which nearly all San
Francisco came.
The hotel was not fully complete at
that time. Some of the rooms on the |
upper floors were not ready, but when |
;he Palace Hotel Company, which for,
nerly operated the old Palace Hotel ON
Market street, took hold, determined to /
push things through, the work went on

absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel
life pleasant, it is without peer The
Fairmont Hotel today has capacity for
taking care of one thousand guests.
It's entertainment features are so nu-
merous and SO varied that, as has hap
pened many times, as many as six diff
ferent gatherings, including banquets,
balls and public meetings, can be held
under its roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house.
The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and expe-
Tienced globe-trotter stand in wonder
and amazement. From its windows (for
every room in this magnificent hosiery
is an outside room) can be seen the
superb panorama of the Golden Gate,
the Bay of San Francisco, crowded with
ships from all parts of the world, the
mountains and hills of Contra Costa
Comfy on the other side of the bay,
with Mt. Diablo 80 miles to the south
east, and Mt. st. Helena over hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the
skyline. In the immediate foreground
of the hotel lies the busy city, in which
new steel sky-scrapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed.
Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt in
a new and better way, is but a few
walk from the door of the
hotel. BY means of the various street
car lines which pass its doors all parts
of the city, the ferries and railroad
stations, the banks and exchanges, re-
tail business and theater eenters, as
well as the residence portions of the
city can be easily reached.
The Fairmont Hotel differs from al
most any similar institution in the num-
Der of unique features which it offers
for the entertainment of its guests.
Because of these, it is easily the social
center of San Francisco; you might
say, of the State. just as the old Palace
Hotel, which is now being rebuilt on a
new and greater scale at the old site
On Market street, was one of the most
famous hosteleries of the world, and
guests of all nations, so the
under the same management
which so adequately took care of the
affairs of the Palace. is most cosmo-

room is done in white and gold with
silken tapestries. From its windows,
as one dimes, he may look out over the
bay and the shipping, Then there is
the beautiful grey breakfast room,
which is particularly well adapted for
private dinners, luneheons and BAN
quets. In other parts of the same floor
are found the special tea and card
rooms set aside for the use of guests
who wish to entertain in a less formal
way. Then there are private dining
rooms, where organizations may meet
around a friendly board. On floor A
is found the crypt, one of the most
unique cafes in existence. 1t is in the
corner of Mason and Sacramento and
is extremely popular with the business
men of San Francisco. 1t offers com
Portable grill and bar for men, where
special attention is paid ito the cook
ing of steaks and chops and old eoun-
try dishes. The service here is swift
and efficient, and it is immensely popu-
lar as luncheon place for business
men.
The Fairmont, as it stands today, il
the epitome of hotel excellence. The
vast experience which the Palace Hotel
Company had in the celebrated Palace
Hotel has been utilized in this house.
To Colonel John c. Kirkpatrick, General
Manager of the Palace Hotel Company,
was given the task of instilling into
a brand new house the spirit of hos
pitality which made the old Palace Ho-
tel celebrated in two hemispheres. How
well he has succeeded in doing this is
evident the moment one enters the
doors of the Fairmont. For the Palace
Hotel spirit of hospitality enfolds one
like a garment, making his visit one
of delight, his leave-taking one of re-
greet, and his memory of the time so
spent one of great pleasure.
The Fairmont Hotel offers to the
traveller all the co6veniences and luxu-
ries known to the best modern hotel,
together with many exclusive features,
some of which we have spoken of above.
Every room in the entire hotel has a
bath attached. For $3.50 one may thus
enjoy pleasant room, beautifully fur
nished in mahogany, with dainty
white tiled bath; or, for as low as ten
dollars, suite of rooms. Visitors to
San Francisco may rest assured that &C
