STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Berthardy Braccamonte Is Instantly killed-0thers Escape Narrowly.

News comes from Nogales that two men named Sublete and Holland were coming from Douglas to Nogales to start an auto garage, when their ma. chine became stalled on the road at II point nine miles from Patagonia.
 They secured two COW boys, brothers, named Braccamente, who were in the employ of H. B. Riggs. to help them, and they tied their lariats to the ma chine, pulled it out and up the hill.
 Suddenly a flash of lightning struck one of the brothers killing him in stantly and his horse fell on him.
 The men say that the,r escape was miraculous and they could not de. scribe the agony of the survivins brother over his loss. The remains were buried at Patagonia.
 Braccamonte's hat and clothing were torn to shreds and the slicker was cut into pieces the size of dollar and scattered in all directions.

A FATAL EXPLOSION
Billy Wikstrom Badly Crippled and a
 Mr. Lane Killed in New Mexico.

ARIZONA CRlCKETERS
Play Strong Game With Los Angeles
 and Make Fine Showing

In commenting on the Arizona cricket team and its game against Los Angeles, the Times takes occasion to say msny nice things about the visi- tors and speaks especially highly of the play of II T Cutbbert of Clifton who, notwithstanding that he has been long out oi practice seems to have forgotten nothing of the game
 The Arizona cricket eleven, which is touring southern California, were beaten yesterday at Vineyard station ground by Los Angeles, which scored lI9 runs to the Arizonans' 49. The visitors in their second innings gave s very much better account of them selves. and will probably be more than a match for Los Angeles today. Cuth. bert, Neill, Lairrat and Liddell are first class batsmeu, while Thomson Mason will score freely in the near future. In Dsyer and Mason the wis itors are particularly strong in bowl. ing, and had it not been for the mag niicent innings of Hurditch, who hi, up 49, and the fine batting of Sweet Los Angeles would have cut sorry | figure.

BACK IN LOS ANGELES
Mrs. WardweIl. Whose Escape From Cochise County Hospital Was
 Quite Sensational.

The daily press announces that
 Mrs. Isabel, otherwise Mrs. D. K. Wardwell, arrived in Loe Angeles yes- terdsy morning, and was assigned to the contagion ward in the county hos pital. Also that she was locked in a state room, drawing room or some other sort of special convenience on she $. P. train.
 The scientific acumen, the ingenuity and cunning sometimes conceived and adopted by occasionally demented people, are absolutely astonishing. The idea that the lady under consid- erstion should have $ lucid interval of sufficient duration to evade her guards, navigate an Espee train and arrive at Los Angeles in cold storage isolation, is entirely out of the ordi- nary.

WILL CORNER YAQUIS
Kosterlitzky's Hurdles Riding Hard
 To 0vertake Hostile Bands

The Douglas Dispatch says tha,
 General Kosterlitzky was in Agua
 Prieta yesterday with a body of one
 hundred rursles. They had come
 across from Magdalens, securing the
 intervening country for Yaquis on the
 way. From Agua Priets they will proceed on across Sonora to the Chi- huahua boundary with the intention 2! driving s!l Ysquis in front of them. Meantime the troops to the south will push in a northerly and easterly di- rection while the immigration off, cisls. line riders, customs officers and rangers will form a barrier on this side of the line. Consul Maza today said that all possible chance of c southerly retreat by the Ysquis was cut of, and the plan of campaign should force them into a sort of cor ner or result in their capture in small groups or singiy at the international line.

OLD TIMER RETURNS
Martin Costello. After Visiting Europe
 Returns 10 Tombstone.

Martin Costello, guess you have heard of Martin, returned last night from Europe. During his wanderings he covered the greater part of Ger many, France and Austria, and while of course he found much to admire in those countries. he returns to dea: young America with greater devotion to its merits, its resources and its peo. pie than ever. No prostration from heat in Arizona, no blizzards, no cold
 no excessive degrees of temperature n Arizona. It is refreshing to observe the solid satisfaction with which the old Tombstoner ruhs his hands and lights his pipe when he gets back to the Lords country, and the further he travels is the more satisfaction he he feels when he gets back. It is nice to travel, but it is a"wbole lot" nicer to get back to the Arizons and Tomb stone, the modern Garden of Eden.

ANDREWS NOMINATED
Probable Result May Be That New
 Mexico Will Go Democratic.

A Sants Fe Dispatch states tha.
 Wm H Andrews has again been nom. mated as the Republican candidate for delegate to ccngress. Although he had strength enough to receive the requisite majority on the first ballot, his nomination did not pass without a stirring protes. by many of the Re- publican leaders, among them David J Leahy, Thomas B Catron, E c Crampton and W P Davies.
 The Democrats are jubilant, for they no longer considers Andrews a strong man with the people, and the Republican party is faction torn. On the other hand, Larrazolo, the Demo- cratic candidate, enjoys great popu- larity even with Republicans and has the united and enthusiastic support of his party, who are anxious to wipe out the defeat of their favorite two years ago, which they claim was con- 'umated by unfair means.

The family lives in a tent Lightning struck s wire clothes line, and followed into the tent, literally burning up the wire as it went, A neighbor who was not far away witnessed the incident, ana says it seemed as though the ground in the wake of the electricity was covered with little balls of fire about the size of base ball Within the tent the lightning assailed and literally burned up canvas scsbbsrd which held a shotgun, without hurt ing the gun. The tent was fired. but none of it's occupants were seriously shocked and they immediately put out the fire re.-Republicsn.

HAD HAD EXPERIENCE
Why Porter Mcdonald Had No Desire
 to Pursue Mrs. Wardsweil.

One officer in Cochisc county, when probed for suggestions relating to the WardweI incident, unbosomed him. self to this extent. He happened to be Porter Mcdonald. and his remarks sunk deeply into our sentient soul as highly suggestive of the essence of common sense, when he said.
 Ut has to be powerful" urgent case before I go after crazy folks or any one troubled with "ketchin' disease. One time I was sent after 8 "nigger" who had the smallpox. I never got nearer than two days behind him. I never caught the "nigger, but l caught the smallpox. Excuse me when it comes to that eo.t Of work"

OUR SUPERB CLIMATE.

We are prepared to assert, without the slightest danger of contradiction that this Aug ust weather here in Tomb stone has been the most re- markable on record. Not two hours of heat have been reg istered this month and the average temperature has been about 6S: more delightful and ideal conditions could not be imagined. Judge James Reil- ly, than whom a more tray elled, experienced and intelli- gent authority could not be mentioned. states that Tomb stone enjoys the finest all the year round climate of any place he has ever known. We cannot eat climate. We canno; eat golG and silver, but We can easily convert the latter into something we can eat and the former is one of the strongest attractions on earth to sensible people, so what is the matter with Tombstone?

CANANEA COPPER
Present Production is Between Three
 and Four Million Pounds a North

The July output for Greene Cana nea company was slightly in excess ol 1000, 600 pounds. The plant did not resume operations until July II, when two furnaces at the new smelter were blown in. On July g two additional furnaces were blown in
 At present the Greene company is producing between 3,0e0,0l0 and s4,- 0OO, 900 pounds month, or at the rate of 10000, ,0Oo pounds year.
 It has not been definitely decided just when the four idle furnaces of the Greene smelter will be blown in; the four now in operation are turning as much copper as did eight before they were remodeled.

THE MINERS HOME.

The very laudable idea of establishing a miners home has been mooted in the terri torial legislature before, but in the course of the approaching session, it is proposed to handle the proposition ser..- ously. It is a we'll known fact that the working life of the average miner is less than l2 years. Accident from a thousand sources. miners con- sumption. rheumatism and a score of other maladies lie in wait for this knight of the hammer and drill, who, like the stock man and farmer, but in mote dangerous environ meDts. produces wealth from natures bosom, and not from the sweat of the brows of other men and women. In one sense such an act might be considered class legislation, but the miner is so peculiarly situated that is highly prob- able that such a question would not properly obtain. THE PRosPECToR trusts that such an institution will be founded and adequately sup ported.
