WILLIAM GAUGHAN
DOES HEROIC WORK
While Clothing Is Ablaze
He Saves Burning Wife
First.

Bisbee. Ariz.. April 14.-wilIiam
Gaughan. of Don Luis, is the hero of
that suburb by reason of the quick wit
and presence of mind that he showed
during a serious experience at his home.
His wife was carrying a lighted lamp
from one room to another when L ex-
pIoded, covering both herself and hus-
band with the burning liquid. With the
flames burning away his clothes. he
forgot self and dashed a bucket OF wa
ter on his wife, who escaped with
rious burns on the right arm and the
right side of her body. After saving his
wife he turned his attention to his
burning clothes and the fire which was
beginning to burn the walls Of the
house, which he successfully extin-
guished.
The Bisbee board of trade and the
Douglas chamber of commerce will try
to prevail on the territorial board of
control to begin Immediately that pOr-
ton of the territorial highway be-
tween Bisbee and Douglas and Phoe-
nix extending 10 miles from Hereford
on the San Pedro river. This route is
the ultimate line of the territorial
highway but BIsbee and Douglas want
1t completed now. as that portion is
territorial highway route.
The Bisbee pOstoffice will close on
Sunday. beginning with May I. By rea-
son of the city's topography. making il
impossible to deliver mail by carriers
the Bisbee postOffice has several thou
sand lock boxes. a number OF which
are ito LETT and Bisbee people need
suffer no inconvenience by the Sunday
closing.
Postmaster NJ. E. Cassidy has received
stationery to be used in the Bisbee
postal savings bank-and 1t did not
come through the mail under penalty"
cover. Postmaster general Hitchcock Is
using stamps in sending out the matter
and Furthermore stamps will be used
in the transaction of all business be-
tween postal savings banks and the
department at Washington. for the pur-
pose of determining just what it costs.
or would cost. in real money, to han
die the mail business of the new de-
