THE. WEIRD RELATION
 0F SPANISH PRISONER
IN WHICH A PHOENIX LADY IS
 INVOLVED.
Interesting Correspondence Purportine
 to Come From Barcelona Castle.

The Spanish prisoner fake which has been heard of within the last three or four years in different parts of the world appeared in Phoenix the other day by the roundabout way of England with some additional frills. It involves a well known Phoenix lady, Mrs. Mary Kirkland who according to the corre- spondence. is supposed to be dead.
 The affair opened with a letter to James Kirkland of Leicester England, dated September of last year. The writer. Gutave de Soldevilla. was a political prisoner in the Castle of Barcelona where he was serving a sem tence of sixteen years imposed by a military court.
 He had been secretary to General Martinez Campos when that mild hammered warrior was governor gen eral of Cuba. When he was replaced by the infamous Weyler. de Soldevilla threw his fate in with the revolution ists though he does not appear from the letter to have taken an open part in the rebellion. His connection with
  came necessary for him to leave the island.
 The letter states that he had mar ried in America an English woman by the name of Mary Kirkland and who had died some years before. He had a daughter by her who was then four teen years of age and whom he man aged to take out of the country with him along with a fortune in cash of 39.000 pounds sterling.
 He first went to England and de- posted his money in the Bank of England and took what corresponds 10 a certificate of deposit. His fortune thus made secure. he put the certifi- cate into the secret pocket of a port manteau and went to Spain The au- thorities were apprised of his presence at Catragena and he was arrested, tried and sentenced.
 His luggage or "equipage" was seiz- ed and at the time of writing was about to be sold. IL was not appar- ently of value. The prisoner was de- sirous of obtaining possession of it. Moreover. he was certain that his end was near, as he was in the last stage of an incurable disease.
 His daughter was in a secret place known only to the writer and his con lessor. Father Jesus Perez Miro. It was the wish of the prisoner that his daughter might be put into the care of her relatives and he had therefore designed Mir. Kirkland as her tutor and guardian. The prisoner had made his will leaving the bulk of his vast estate to the daughter. Amelia, but

THE CRUEL KNIFE STOPPED
 ONCE MORE

Testimonial Wm. H. McClintock
 Tempe, March 23, 1909
 For the past two years I have been a resident of Los Angeles. Last Oc- tober I began running down in health and had frequent attacks of renal collie, or in other words passing stones from my kidneys into the bladder. These attacks were accompanied with the most excruclating pain and suf- fering, which reduced me in weight rapidly, until I was barely able to be on my feet. My physician said I had appendicitis, and as he knew l had a few hundred dollars saved up advised me to have an immediate operation. This I refused, although I took his diet course, as he told me it was very dangerous to eat. I lived as long as could on a mixture of the Dr.'s hot air and Battle Creek food and then hearing about the healing powers of the Vita Nuevo Mineral Springs Crystals, came to Phoenix to try this mineral water. Arriving in Phoenix just before Christmas I wish to say also, l had symptoms of Bright's dis ease and was very weak when I ar rived in Phoenix. l at once began taking Bi-Lo-Zone for my liver and the mineral water for my stomach and kidneys, in three weeks I gained eight pounds, was eating and sleeping well and soon after this took charge of the Casa Loma dining room and have been able to attend to business ever since and gradually growing stronger. I believe I will get entirely well, and take great pleasure in re- commenting these remedies to all who are in search of health.

RESCUED CHILD FROM
A BURNING BUILDING

Through the prompt action of Mrs.
Pierce, neighbor, tragedy was
averted yesterday afternoon Of the
home of Harry F. Dawson, at Kappa
hulu. Had it not been for the assist
ance of Mrs. Pierce, at least one child
would have been burned alive, it being
taken out of the burning building just
in time.
The parents were in town at the
time, about half-past three o'clock yes
terday afternoon, having left the chill
dren in the care of the japanese ser
want. This servant took the children
into the servants quarters, leaving
them there, shut in, while a visit to
another japanese was made. In play
ing around. the baby got hold of some
matches and set the place on fire.
The fire had attained considerable
Roadway before it was noticed, when
Mrs. Pierce came over, entered the
burning building and took the chill
dren out. The house itself was burn
ed to the ground. No alarm Of fire
was sent in, it being thought useless
to call the department when there was
no danger of the fire spreading be-
yond the one building.

that Paio took his life in moment
of depression, following day OF sulk-
mess over the refusal of Captain sam
to allow him to go ashore the day
before at Honuapo. Following the re-
fusal. Paio went off by himself and re-
fused to talk with the other members
of the crew. On Saturday morning he
Jumped up from the spot where ne
was lying in the bow, ran the full
length of the vessel and plunged into
the sea in the schooner's wake. His
