 COAL ON FIRE-The fire depart ment was called out last night by the discovery of a big smoke issuing from a pile of coal banked against the boiler room of the Arizona laun- dry. Apparently the coal had got wet in some manner. the heat and moisture starting a spontaneous com bustion. There was no blaze and early attention saved any loss other than the work of piling the coal over to get at the burning portion of it.

 A HoLDUP AT WICKENBURG- Deputy Sheriff Ike Woods came in from Wickenburg yesterday with a young man, the son of a business man of that place, who is charged with highway robbery at the point of a pistol The victim was a stranger, who was sitting in the waiting room of the railroad depot when a man ap- peared with gun and ordered him to produce. He did so to the amount of Sl1. The stranger came in on the same train with the officer and his prisoner and made formal complaint before Justice Parker. There will be a further investigation of the matter today.
 MALCOLM GILLETT HOME-Mal- coin Gillett chief clerk in the office of the surveyor general, returned home yesterday from a months vaca- tion, during which he visited the en- tire Pacific coast from southern Cali fornia to the Dominion line He planned this year to get his full worth and left with a sche- dule of his proposed itinerary that accounted for using every minute to the best advantage. Four days were to be devoted to southern California, but the schedule was discarded after the first visit to the beach, and it took him two weeks to get started north of Los Angeles. The first post card bulletin received at his office in the capitol gives a clue to the reason though it is d suggestion rather than evidence. Anyhow, judg- ing from the picture the girl must be d peach and Malcolm seems to have found her in d Santa Catalina orchard. The inscriptions on the early cards were decidedly light but as he journeyed north ward they became more and more | until the final card from | Victoria was covered with skeletons | and rythmic references to the joys ! of other days. Even the splendOrs | of the Seattle fair failed to fully re- store him and though he returns a model of physical perfection, there is fear that he is a sentimental wreck.
