Pierce, Neb., April 17.-Mrs. Pospi,
sill, the aged mother of John and Vac
las Pospisil, living five miles east Of
Pierce, was burned to death Saturday
evening at the home of her son, Vac
las. No one knows how the accident
occurred. The son. with whom she
lived, had gone to town. Another son,
living Il half mile west, noticed a
heavy smoke hanging over the house
about o'clock. He rode to the place
as fast as a team could carry him, and
going to the door found the interior
filled with flames and smoke, which
prevented his entering. He called his
mother, but received no response. The
house burned like tinder and was en-.
tirely consumed, together with barn
nearby. After the fire had burned out
the charred remains of the woman
was found lying foot or so from the
cook stove. 1t is supposed she was
building a fire for supper and the
flames caught her clothing She was
76 years old and had kept house for
her son Vaclas for many years.

Douglas, Ariz., April 1.-THE fed

The insurrectos facing in these di-

The federals in moving in, had ad-

tablished yesterday at Sulphur
Springs, five miles south of Aqua Pri-

southeast of Aqua Prieta with an evi.

Head Large and Well Poised.

AS far as appearances 60, the most
striking feature about the new senator
is his head This Is extraordinarily
large and well poised on rather short
neck. His forehead is high, with the
temples more than ordinarily well de-
velOped, and there are very few wrin-
kles to be seen, although the man will
be fifty-one years old next month.
There is scar over the right eye
which when the justice frowns is very
plainly visible.
Justice O'Gorman has a small, close
ly trimmed beard and small mustache.
Both are the same color as his hair-a
dark gray with light reddish gleam
in it when the light strikes it directly.
His hair Is thick and closely cut. 1t is
curly, and, though his beard Is ex-
tremely short there are indications of
curliness there also. His eyebrows are
bushy and long and of the same color
as hair and mustache.
There is nothing striking about either
the Justices mouth or nose. His chin,
somewhat small, is firm in the ex-
treme. 1t is his eyes, however, that
impress one. They are deep set gray
eyes, with a cold CLEAN in them ordi-
narily and not very much warmth
even when the justice smiles. They
are bright, though somewhat small,
and the glance from them is usually
both piercing and questioning. They
tell no secrets, fer they have that pc.
culiar quality Of gray eyes that hides
completely what is in the mind.
Compared with the other features,
Justice O'Gorman's ears are inordi.
nately large. They are long and wide
and the lobes are pronounced. They
set close to the head and are saved
from appearing peculiar by the fact
that the head itself is large and the
hair plentiful. They cannot fail Of OBJ
