The cause of the fire was not ascer. tained. for il took fire several feet rom the fiue and must have been the result of faulty wiring or the result Of rodents.
 JakCb Schmidt, the owner of the res idence. at once made an examination Of the property after the fire, and stat ed that he had taken the roof of for space of al least thirty feet square and found that the fire fiue had noth- ing 10 do with the cause of the fire "l was anxious to determine just what the cause was, and I found that it was not the cause of the occupants iH any wise whatever.

 THE ANIMALS
New District Attorney Causing
 Much Ado About Nothing
 Question of Justice Fees, Threshed Out Many Times.

The fee bills of the various justices of the peace and constables in all oi the precincts of the county, for the last quarter of last year. have been held up for payment until the 18th inst. al which tIlme the board of supervisors will act on the claims.
 The bills at the present time are m the hands of District Attorney Will. jams. who has begun the yielding uI the blue pencil and the bills will looh like thirty cents when they come to be acted upon by the board of super visors.
 Attorney Williams has decided that the justices and constables have been charging fees that they were not entitled to. and he proposes to have those items cut rom the claims that are allowed by the board of super visors. He maintains that according to the statutes an officer who makes an arrest without warrant is not en- titled to mileage in making the arrest, but should only be entitled to the fee of s2.00 for making the arrest and not allowed the fee of thirty cents per mile actually travelled in making that arrest. He also interprets the statutes to the effect that the justices of the peace have no legal right to charge the sum of S1.00 for making out a war rant after a man has been arrested by any of the peace officers and brought into court before the warrant was is sued or at all after the prisoner has been placed under arrest by the peace officer Williams also will endeaYoF 4Aa xrrh1 1ar bills for mileage in making an arrest to have them swear to the exact num- Der of miles they actually traveled, and give description of the route travelled.
 The district attorney may be right in his contention of the law, but the action of the courts heretofore in re- gard to the questions involved in the fee bills has generally been to ask the officers but one question, and that was: Did you actually perform the duties for which you have rendered these bills?" Upon an affirmative answer beng given the courts have always allowed the bills. Under the reign of Tom Flannigan as district at torney, the fees of the justices of Bis bee, as well as those-o of the constables were held up in the courts for nearly six months, and after one of the cases had been tried here, a change of venue was taken to Pima county and judgment was given to the officers with their costs.
 Sheriff White and other officers have declared themselves that they will re sfst the action of the district attorney or the board of supervisors in cutting the fees for services that they have performed. and will at once take the matter into the courts. It means that the county will be put to the expense

THE sBE REVIEW THURSDAY MORNING

These statements are correct. as reported but as far as Brown being so greatly mistreated and having spent all this money, this is all rot. Whoever he gave this statement to. was surely stung good and plenty. I doubt if he has $500 to his name. As far as his being a shibbuilder in Homo lulu. that Is hot air as you will find ing any shipbuilding enterprises there at present. nothing more than some foundries there.
 Browns wife got divorce from him four years ago on account of non-support. He was one of the big gest drunkards there at that time and didn't have a dollar. Ills widow went tc work after she got her divorce and was working to support herself and little girl when ] met them. We were nlsrI fed three and half years ago., If you can show me where l have done anything very criminal that l am guilty of. I don't know where it is.
 "I have considerable mining prop erty ia Durango. Mexico. where have been working for some time past. Up 10 the time of the slump had sale of my property on for a good piece of money. but the retrenchment in business affairs headed on any deal which l had on fooi and ended that transaction for the time being"
 When asked why his wife went with Brown from Douglas as soon as he but in an appearance. he said that that was something which he could not account for. "She did not know that Brown was in the country, and was headed for Denver where her parents reside. She is heir to consid- erable estate and. vas going home to look into the matter. This is way Brown is following her up. thinking he can get agood slice of it.
 You see that there is no charge brought against me as far as Brown is concerned. the only one being that of a bill for my room which I can pay any time. l am very sorry of this affair and hope that the people of Bis bee will take everything into oonsid- eration before they condemn me too severely. I feel that have been on the square in everything. and Nope that l will be able to show the people this before I leave this city"

Deputy Win White stated yesterday that when his accuser faced him and stat. cd that he was the murderer of the watchman he turned as pale as a ghost. There is little doubt of his guilt. and he w'll doubtless be bound over to await the action of the grand jury. Deputy White has been watch ing carefully since the foul murder was perpetrated. and says that he knew that he had the man as soon az he laid his eyes upon him. There is a reward of $500 offered by the South western railway, which will go to Of ficer White for this very important capture.

BECKER GIVES HIS SIDE IF
 THE SCANDAL
Declares He Married Mrs. Brown Three Years Ago and That Honolulu Man Is Broke and a Liar.

As was stated in the Review yestsr day Charles H. Brown, who has been on the alert for his wife, and has chased her for 27,000 miles. located her at the Queen hotel at Douglas, and at once returned to Honolulu with his wife ard little daughter.
 The Review conveyed the first in- formation of this affair to the people of Bisbee and especially to Theodore Becker who claims that he aas been married Co the alleged Mrs Brown for the past three years and a half. He was rooming at the Royal rooming house. where he was presented with a Review. together with his bill. both of which were a surprise to him. He said thas~he- eSonces knew that some thing had gone wrong.
 A Review reporter was accompan- jed to the branch county jail last night by Deputy Sheriff Will White and listened to the story of Theodore Beck CT. Becker. who was securely lodged in one of the cells up stairs came out when the iron gate was thrown back and said that he didn't know what ne was expected to say.
 You are not expected to say any thing which is not true" was the answer. "but If you have anything to say which will place you in any better light ia the eyes of the public we weuld be glad to publish 1t for you. Is the statement true which was pub lished in t:e afternoon paper" he was asked
 T have not seen it-
 When presented with a copy of the paper. he said: 'T have never seen more lses In the same space in my life. There are some of the state ments true. I suppose, for l have no personal knowledge of what took place in Douglas. but as far as l am personally concerned. the statements could hardly be farther from the facts" h.s
 win you give the facts in this case as far as you are concerned?'
 The very first intelligence I had that anything was wrong was when a copy of the Review was presented to me stating what had taken place at Douglas This-is the 7first knowledge that I dad that Brown was in the country. Neither Of us knew that he was coming here and my wife was OF her way to Colorado, where her rela- tiyes reside. The iandfady at the Roy al ToomiIfg house presented me my bill, and when I told her that it was not due until the eleventh she showed me the item in the Review. 1 saw by this that there was a scandal of some kind in the air, and I became somewhat rattled and started for Naco. I rode part of the way with some one who was driving over there, and when I got there l was arrested. Mrs. Mcdowell had the complaint sworn out

Sale of Park Place" Lots.

The widely advertised sale o. lots
at "Park Place"-Madison's new
residential suburb-was pulled off
on schedule time Tuesday to the
accompaniment of music by band
from Townsville, a big free barbe-

The sale was conducted by C1l.

indeed an artist in the crying Of
sales. He kept the huge crowd In
a jolly good humor from the time
be was introduced to the crowd un.

tract off irto building lots with
streets and avenues plainly marked
and designated, planted shade trees

more judiciously selected. T b e
tract commences at the corner
fronting the residence Of Mrs. Imo

along the Greenville road to the

The bidding was spirited and the

Wealth Of the United States.

The statement which is repeatedly
made. and by many people accepted
as a fact, that the bulk of the wealth
of the United States is concentrated
in the hands o. the millIOnaires, is
strongly combatted by Mr.. L. G.
Powers In the American Journal of
Sociology. The writer is connected
with the census bureau at Washing
ton, and his figures may be accepted
at least as official.
The wealth Of the United States in
1850 amounted to but 81 900, ,OOO,-
900; in 1860 it had increased to
$40 ,OUO, 900; in 1870 to SPA
900 900, ,OOo;io 1890 TO S65 900 900
900; in 1900 to $S8, 900, 900, 900,
and he computes that in 1904 it
reached the staggering sum of 1917
OOO, 900, 900.
These immense additions within a
little over half a century, Mr.. Pow
ers contends, bear witness to the
activity OF three very important
factors, namely the creation of new
forms OF wealth as the result OF hui
man labor; the appreciation in value
Of all property as a result OF the
worldwide influence Of the increas'
ed aud increasing supply OF gold
and silver which began to be felt
directly after the Australia and
California gold discoveries In 1850,
and the rise in the value of city and
town property due to the growth OF
population, ...
