the way of Identification other than
the gold tooth and the fact that the
woman is about five feet tall and of
medium physique.
Seen by a Singer
Louis Brusso of Charleroi, who Is a
singer at a theatre in Monongahela,
declares positively he saw the young
woman on a street car at Charleroi
Saturday night about 11:15.
Coroner Heffran is securing the val
ley for any information that will aid
him In holding an inquest, but he
said last night that he did not expect
definite developments until today, or
possibly for several days. He said
the theory of robbery and murder
seemed the most plausible, and that in
conjunction with the police of the val
ley towns he was working along that
line in an effort to secure witnesses
for an inquest.
Nicholas Yost, street car conduct

said he was positive the woman board

car at Fifth street, Charleroi, shortly

Philip Snow, former chief of police
of Charleroi, who is now toll collector
on the Monessen bridge. says the
woman crossed the bridge at five
O'Clock Monday evening. The woman
is evidently stranger in Charleroi,
for the body was view yesterday by a
constant stream of people at the un-
dertaker's establishment and none Of
fered any clew to identification.

STEPHENSON
FAILED TO-DAY
Lacked Two Votes of Enough
to Elect Him on the Joint
Ballot

Madison, Wis, Jan. 27-United
States Senator, Isaac Stephenson,
failed of reelection when the first
joint ballot was taken today. He was
able to muster but 65 votes, thus lack
ing two of the necessary majority to
elect. The democratic strength went
to Neal Brown of Wausau, who re-
ceived 20 votes. The remaining votes
were scattered between Governor
Davidson, Congressman Cooper. Esch
and others. Both houses adjourned
after the first ballot until tomorrow.
The assembly this forenoon practi-
cally killed the Blaine senate resolu-
tion for an investigation of the Unit
ed States senatorial primary. When
the assembly met, Assemblyman
Hughes asked that rules be suspend
ed and that resolution be placed on Its
immediate passage. Representative
Cleary said action should be delayed
until the resolution was printed and
placed on file. He would favor the
investigation If the resolution was
placed in reasonable form, and de-
clared that State Chairman Edmonds
courted an investigation. Upon the roll
call the suspension failed by vote of
A ayes to Sc noes. This practically
kills the investigation.

HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE
Asa Tiffany Suffers Loss, of All
 Earthly Possessions.

The tent house, with all household goods and one hundred chickens, be- longing to Asa Tiffany was entirely destroyed by fire Saturday noon at a point about five miles east Of Mesa, on the transmission line.
 Just how the fire started is a mystery. Mir. Tiffany has been em- ployed on the canal construction a half mile to the west of his homestead and his wife had just started with his noon meal, when the fire was dis covered. It was impossible to save any of the contents of the tent and the entire earthly possessions of MT and Mrs. Tiffany were destroyed. They have been working and saving for year, buying a piece of furniture here and another piece there, antici- pating the furnishing of their house on the desert as soon as they could build. but they are now compelled to readjust their plans. The men with whom MT. Tiffany was working came to the rescue and soon made up a purse of $15 with which to give the unfortunate people some bed clothes and something to eat.

The Mesa High school baseball team won a very exciting game from the Tempe High Saturday afternoon on the local High school grounds. The game belonged to either team until the last inning, and ir fact the game was hardly decided until the last man had been put out and the game at an end. The Mesa lads were glad to save the day by a score of to 6, for they realize that they had to work to even bring the results out even along that score. As was announced yesterday;
 Dimes and Martinez was the battery for Tempe. while Peterson and Morris did the important work for the locals.
