Fire at the Kennedy roominE house on Clawson hill at s o'clock yesterday morning did a damage Of about s75. The cause of the fire is not known but as the house is unoccupied and ss the fire originated from the inside. 1t is suspected that 1t was set on fire. through accident or Intentionally. The idcst acceptable theory seems to be that someone was sleeping in one of the basement rooms and dropped fire on one of several mattresses on the floor.
 The fire vas in the outside room Of the basement Of the house, front ing on the gulch back Of the place. There are four rooms on this floor. The walls and fa1r of the room were nauiy burned anu several mattresses 1tcrct there were destroyed. A door leading to a closet of the room was burned
 Coming just after the worst electric al storm that has occurred in the district this year, many thought that the lightning had set the house oa fire and others thought. from the dozen or more shots fired by way of alarm. that the flood was coming Several boys were seen coming from the place Sunday afternoon but as the fire did not occur until o'clock ar night, it is not believed that they could have started the fire.

Display of Lightning Sunday Night One Of the Most
 Vivid Known
DAMAGE IS DONE

The worst electrical storm seen in Bisbee for several years visited the city Sunday evening from 7:30 to S:30 o'clock, but so far as known no damage from lightning occurred. In the afternoon a miniature flood fell and cleaned Chihuahua hill of all it's tin cans, piling them up in great heaps on Naco road The down town streets were filled with mountain dirt, which the street department is busy hauling ofi.
 The rainfall at Warren was sufficient to interfere with the city league DaIi game but it was not so heavy as it was further up the canyon Following the electrical storm in the early even ing Sunday, a slow rain fell for sey- eral hours. Reports indicate that the rain was general over this section.
 small washoUt occurred near Fair bank on the Fl Paso and Southwestern but it did not seriously interfere with traffic on that road, it being repaired in a few hours. The train from the west yesterday morning arrived at 10:30 o'clock.
 The city administration, personified breaths a sigh of relief after every rain and gives thanks that it was not a flood. The present administra. tion has brought the city financial ship safely between Scylla and Charybdis and the outlook is good but for the flood clouds that continue to hover over the hills. So far, however, none of the clouds have assayed a flood
 Yesterday an Anniversary
 The superstitious were eyeing the sky for Ominous signs yesterday, re membering that it was three years ago yesterday, August 1, that one Of the worst floods of the district oc cured, doing damages of thousands O' dollars in the business district.
 Thus far the subway has served its purpose splendidly and Mayor New man stated yesterday, after rappine his knuckles on the door facing the Fair store, that it was a success While it costs the city several hundred dollars year to keep it in condition it has no doubt saved the city thou sands Of dollars. 4 flood may mean an outlay of several thousand dollars to the city in repairing damage and that is why the personified govern ment has a sore neck from looking al rain clouds.

SAVES CHIRIVARI,
 BUYS COOK STOVE
Douglas Couple Have Star Chamber Wedding to Aid
 Domestic Economy

If the folks down at Douglas know that I am married they will chirivagi nc and it will cost me $20. enough to buy a good cook stove" vas the plea that a Douglas benedict made to Bisbee justice O. the peace Sunday afternoon.
 The man was pleading for a "stnr chamber" wedding and. appreoiatins the mans commendabIe economy, the justice promised to turn the back Of Eis hand to reporters. This particu- lar justice is an epicure and the pros peet of seeing the young man go with out a cook stove was a situation in which he did not desire to be an ae- complice.
 The Douglas couple were quietly welded and by this time the money that would have been squandered in a chirivaTi has doubtless been iu- vested in a cook steve and the young cook is trying her hand at making biscuits.
 The justice kept his word to the economical groom to the letter and all efforts to bribe the news from him were fruitless. The marriage li- cense records at Tombstone. however, may give clue and the Douglas friends of the couple may yet put over the chirivari but instead of getting money from the groom they may get hot biscuit cooked on the new cook stove.
 A license to wed was Issued Friday at Tombstone to Mr. Arthur Clyde Clements and Miss Mary Kuykendall, both Of them residents of Douglas.
