other stuff that would add fuel to q
fire. The upper story OF the city hall,
which is used as theater hall, is
simply fire trap with only two mar
row stairways leading from the same
door The only exit from dancing
hall on the third floor of q business
block Is a long but wide stairway. The
two last named places have been con-
demned by the present city officers as
unsafe for such large crowds as usual
ly gather there.
People begin to see the danger of
furnaces in Easements. Some of the
school teachers are getting nervous and
the fire drill which has been neglected
is being put in practise. Chairman
Huntington of the school board favors
the erection of an annex to the base
ments of the school thus placing the
furnaces away from the school build
ings. The people would be very willing
TO bear the expense of such change
to insure the safety of the teachers and
their children. 1t is to be hoped this
will be done and that no more school
buildings will be built with the fur
mace under them and that those con-
sidered unsafe will be condemned.

THE WAR CLOUDS | IN OLD COCHIsE
Edict Has Gone Forth That Former Bosses of Republi-
 can Politics Are Barred.

The velvety clouds of war have not yet sunk below the political horizon of Cochise county, so far as the re- publicans of Cochise county are con- cerned, and from the latest reports of the weather bureau it is very prob able that the storm will take a back ''swipe" at the party or bosses. From recent mutterings it is learned that the powers which now control the 2. O. D. in old Cochise have hand ed down the ultimatum that Kirk can have nothing whatever to say in the councils of the party, because of al legged tendencies towards affiliation with democracy. c. I. McReynolds, who led the insurgents in the recent successful revolt against the county central committee, of which Kirk was chairman, is now the candy kid and what love the long boss has for the erstwhile dictator is well known. McReynolds is now in Tucson, and, it is stated. will be busily engaged there for several days on political matters.
 When seen by a Star representa-. tive, McReynolds stated that c. M. Holmes had been chosen city chair. man, in place of Kirk and that in the future matters would kbe run along party lines. McReynolds was very reticent about discussing mat: ters political, but be did intimate mat Kirk, who had, without cause, been accusing him and other loyal republicans of associating too inti' mately with democrats, had, in the i,,dsyrnaDt of tha marty laid himself open to the same charges himself re gently. The new boss did say that in the future the party in Cochise coun' ty will be run along true republican lines, and that no one man will arro- gate to himself the right to run the entire party.
 It has also been intimated lately l that Kirk, who went down and out in the recent primaries, was very much piqued by his defeat, and that he was not really a fast-black-war ] ranted-not-to-run supporter of the faithful. This however, has not beer established.
 Mir. McReynolds refused to maxt known the object of his visit, but il is known that he is doing politics or | large scale.
 In regard to the contesting delega tions which will go to Chicago iron
 Arizona, McReynolds stated that un
 doubtedly, in his opinion, the Powell Sloan delegation would be seated, a! the record showed clearly that thii
 was the only delegation chosen legal Iy, and by majority of the delegates
 to the territorial convention.

MRS. REDDING'S DEATH
 SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED
Authorities at St. Thomas,
 Ontario, Think So.

Mrs. Lula Written of the St. Denis rooming house in Douglas, Ariz., has received letter from Angus McCrim- mon, county crown attorney at St. Thomas, Ont, in which he expresses the opinion that the authorities should further investigate the death of the late Mrs. Bedding. The letter follows:
 St. Thomas, Ontario, May g. Mrs. Lula Written, Douglas, Ariz.
 Dear Madam. l duly received your very long and interesting letter for which I feel deeply grateful to you. In view of what you state and what I heard from Mrs. Richardson and others, l think the authorities there should take immediate steps to have the parties who caused the death of that poor woman brought to justice. It seems very clear to me that she was helped out of the world in some way.
 T am writing to parties at Deming and asking the authorities there to take proceedings. The two women who went with her from here are certainly under a great deal of suspi cion in these parts, and from your letter and other letters feel safe in saying very just suspicion.
 T wish to get parties there to in. teryiew the prosecuting attorney and request him to take such steps as will lead to a thorough and complete investigation as to the cause of the death of the late Mrs Bedding. Ii the evidence points to these two wo men as the perpetrators of the deed they should be arrested and extradit ed and taken there for trial.
 T received letter also from Mrs Richardson but owing to pressure oi business have not been able to an swer her. I will try and do so in the I course of a few days. I would like you to give me all the information you can, and I am exceedingly thank ful to you for what you have done. | anything should turn up that yoI think I should know, you will kindly let me hear from you; in the mean time let me thank you on behalf O her relatives and friends for the in terest you have taken, and believe me, yours very truly,
