LOWELL HOSE TEAM
 ISSUES CHALLENGE

Members of the Bisbee hose team are in receipt of a challenge from the Upper Lowell team, that won the first prize during the celebration of the Fourth of July in Bisbee. The challengers dislike the idea of the im- pression that they could not have won on a dry track and for this reason are desirous of proving that they are faster than the local eleven.
 Sam Briscoe, who has been credit ed with collecting and managing the fastest team ever representing Bisbee, is hard at work managing the details of the race, which will quite probably be held Sunday.

LIGHTNING BRINGS
 DEATH ID TEMPE MAN

PHOENIX, July IA fatal acci- dent to which is attached several un- usual features occurred at the Den. nis-Reed beet field eight miles south of Tempe. O. NJ. Hendrick was struck by a bolt of lightning and in stantly killed.
 The accident occurred during a thunder shower. MT. Hendrick was engaged in loading beets from the field and was accompanied by a couple of other men. A short dis. tance from him another wagon was also being loaded. Mr. Hendrick was on his wagon at the time driving and
 was just turning the team around
 when the crash came. He toppled over backwards on the load of beets and both horses were knocked to the ground. One of the men about twen- ty feet from the wagon was also knocked down and others in the near
 vicinity received severe shocks. The team recovered in moments time and started to run, one of the horses
 being able to use but three of its feet. The team on this account ran in cir cle and was soon stopped by the oth- CT men. who as soon as they were able, ran to the wagon. They found
 Mir. Hendrick past breathing. He had
 evidently scarcely moved after the
 bolt struck him
 The incident as a whole is most un- usual. So far as could be learned
 here yesterday afternoon through in
 quiry. this is the first case ever re corded in the valley where human
 being has been killed by stroke of lightning. Tough during the sum
 mer showers. there are frequently brlniant electrical displays. death as result to either man or beast is
 most unusual. The other peculiar thing about the accident is that MT. Hendrick was evidently struck on the top of the head, the bolt follow ing down through his body and leav' ing at his feet. the skin being broken at his head and feet to an extent that permitted blood to flow freely from both exsremities. Word was sent to town immediate l1y and Justice empaneled jury. The jury reviewed the remains and ren' dered a verdict in accordance with the above stated facts.
 Little is known here regarding tho deceased. He was 56 years of age and has been working at the Dennis ranch for a. short time. Nothing could be learned yesterday of his family and the body will be held a short time pending further developments.

 Proposed Cement Factory

Prospects now are very bright for Winslow having a cement factory in the near future. Par ties owning large beds of gypsum a short distance west of town are here this week looking over tie local situation with a view to ascertaining what will be the better arrangement for handling their raw material, The Santa Fe, it is understood, has offered what is considered a very favor able rate for the gypsum ship ment between here and Los An geles, and are now preparing to put a spur track from their main line to the property from which the gypsum is to be taken, but after talking with local cap- italists the owners of the beds are now seriously considering the proposition of starting ce- ment factory at Winslow and shipping it to the market. Should this industry materialize it will mean employment for a large number of men with quite an extensive pay roll, thereby adding greatly to the business of the town.

Fire Trap Saved Again

What might have proven to be very disastrous corfagration was prevented Thursday after noon when fire was discovered in one of the old frame buildings owned by the Hicks estate on Front street. When first seen the fire had made but little head way; but owing to considera- ble amount of old paper and other combustible material lying around d few minutes more would have given it such a start as would have no doubt resulted
 in the total destruction of of the row of buildings. These build ings now are in a somewhat di- lapidated condition, and it is said the town council has recOm- mended their condemnation, they being little better than fire trap.

then, is the true cause of tho sterility
Of past session. Far-seeIng liberals are
not surprised at the present state of
matters. They saw quite clearly that
no congress could be made until the
hereditary obstruction was removed
from The legislative path. In fact. it
would seem az if in recent years the
peers had grown bolder in their OBJ
structive tactics. Tho more urgent be-
come the demands the people, the more
naughty is their defiance, They have
brought liberal legislation of the first
Importance to a standstill, and the
country is now in the ridiculous posi-
tlon of having government bent upon
great reforms checked at every turn by
conglomeratIon of hereditary "acci-
dents men who not only neither toll
nor spin, but the most shameless man
ner deprive others of Tho fruits of
their toiling and spinning. The sim
pie truth Is, not one step will be made
on the path of progress so long as the
country allows the men of broad acres
and marrow minds to be the arbiters
of It's destinies. 1T is now beginning
to be seen that Gladstone was right
when he called upon his party after
the home rule defeat to throw down
tho gauntlet to the peers.
Police court magistrates in and
around London heard this week some
of the most remarkable stories of rob-
berry and violence which have been re-
lated for some time London, in fact,
appears to have been experiencing an
epidemic of crimes of a kind almost
unparalleled since the days of the high
waymen. One of the most remarkable
was raid by two burglars on Parnes
rectory. eliminating in pitched bat
lie between them and the rector, the
Rev. Benjamin Kitson, and his assist
ant curatc, the Rev. P. A. dc Waal.
The rector, who is 90 years Of age, was
awakened in his bedroom at the rec
tory at a. N. and confronted by
desperate young burglar armed with
