DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Dwelling House and Contents, and Wagon
Shed of Daniel S. Henry, Near Clear
Ridge. Destroyed Last Sunday.
ORIGIN OF FIRE UNKNOWN.

When Daniel S. Henry, who
owns and lives on a farm near
Clear Ridge postoffice, IN Taylor
township, went to the barn at
noon last Sunday to do his feed
ing, he saw that his wagon shed
was ahre. With the fire in close
proximity to his good barn,
and the wind blowing strongly
toward his large commodlous,
and almost new dwelling house,
1T is not to be wondered at that
Daniel thought that big chunk
of bad luck was about to drop on
him. Without stopping to figure
on his loss, he went to work,
with all the strength at his com.
mand, to control the fire in the
wagon shed, while his wife frant.
lcally rang the dinner bell. In a
short time nelghbors began to
arrive, and the battle against the
devourlng element was carried
on most vigorously, but the ad-
vantage WAS altogether on the
side of the wind and the flames,
and but little could be done to
avert destruction Mr.. Henry
narrowly escaped having his
clothing burned from his body,
and his wife and sister Gertrude
stayed upstairs and threw goods
out of the window until their
way of escape was cut off and
they were obliged to leap to the
ground from a window in the
second story. The loss consists
of the house with nearly all It's
contents, the wagon-shed, about
400 bushels of corn, separator
and clover huller, and other pro-
perty. Mr.. Henry has no Idea
how the fire originated.

for Horses is increasing. This

one fourth of the horses 1t needs,

RAILROAD HhS HEAVY MONTH
More Than Thousand Cars of Freight Received, Including Broken
 and Company Cars.

The rrescnt month promises to be one of the heaviest since the beginning of last years financial depression, in point of freight shipments into this city.
 Already nearly 1000 cars of freight have been received here, exclusive of broken lots of merchandise and of this class of freight it is estimated that something like sixty carloads of freight have been shipped in.
 About half hundred cars of. com pany materials and supplies have been received and with the opening up of work on the new line to Miami, an in crease in this line of freight will be manifest next month.
 Heavy shipments of freight show that the prosperity of Globe is on the in crease again. Every indication favors a still further increase in business.

COMMISSIONER BELCHER
 WITHDRAWS RESIGNATION

To determine whether or not an ex- eessive price is being paid for the i'm. provements of about eighteen blocks of street in East Globe, a meeting of a number of interested property owners was held in Judge Hinson Thomas court room last night.
 The meeting was called by G. l.. BelcheI, one of the committee having charge of the disbursement of funds in that section of the city. MT. Belcher claim.d that contract had been let to J A. Mcintyre for $l200 when the work could have been done for about half that amount.
 He considered the price to be exor. bitani and rendered his resignation.
 The matter was thoroughly discussed, the result being the persuasion of MT. Belch,r by those in attendance to with draw his resignation. Nothing was done regarding the contract.
 Thornton Price was appointed a com mitteeman to wait on J. W. Wentworth, regarding the disbursement of about $S000 yes tn hee expended.

JUDGE NAVE TALKS IF WATERWORKS
 BOND ISSUE
HEARTILY FAvoRs PROPOSITION TO PURCHASE LOCAL UTIL-
 ITY CORPORATION.
WILL NOT AGAIN GET OPTION
WATER AND SEWERS ARE TWINS AND SHOULD BE PASSED
 TOGETHER.

"I am in favor of the municipal own ership of water works in any city. Ir our own city particularly does this seem to be good proposition. Both the water and sewer bonds should carry at the coming election"
 Such is the opinion of Judge Fredcr. ick s. Nave, man who takes moro than an ordinary interest in the public affairs of this city and who is pretty sure of his ground before he takes a decided stand in any matter. Judge Nave talked freely with the Silver Belt yesterday and he had the following to say regarding the proposed acquisition of the Pinal Mountain Water company i system:
 "There are several reasors why believe the voters of this city should cast their ballots in favor of the pond issue. In the first place, am confident that with the city owning the plant we will have more efficient service at less expense than under private owner ship.
 "I do not know exactly how much the Pinal plant is worth. I do know however, that We elect representatives to the city council who act as our agents. They have looked into this proposition and consider that the plant is worth the price which has been fixed upon it. I am perfectly willing to abide by their decision.
 "'Even if the price should be trife excessive, certainly the people who had enterprise enough to start plant here when the town was small, taking a chance that it would grow and make their investment safe one, should be entitled to fair price.
 "'I am satisfied that we are getting more value for our money than if the purchase is postponed until a later date, as I do not believe another option at the price now fixed on the plant will ever be obtained.
 "To my way of thinking, it would be extreme folly for the city to put in a competitive water system or grant a franchise to another company to put in such a system. The result would be a few weeks of ruinous price cutting an1 sooner or later one company woul ab. sorb the other and in the end the con sumers would have to pay interest on an invesme Tt not only of one com pany, but of two distinct systems.
 "The city needs water works of it's own and it needs sewer system. The voters of this city can do nothing better for Globe than to vote in favor of both propositions.
