car is built low with all the earmarks
of a racer in the snappy rakish lines
and its noiseless, powerful engine.
The Regal roadster has made its bow
to the public at several of the auto
shows where Il has been exhibited by
local dealers and the unsolicited press
comment has been only of high
praise.

Fire which broke out at 11:S0 last night and tbreateneI for a time to spread 10 an alarming extent. was finally put out, but not before it had completely destroyed two houses in South Bisbee. six room house be. longing to John Batenfield and a four room bouse belonging to George St Johns.
 The Bantenfelds house was empty and the fire starteS there, spreading later to the St. Johns house. All the furniture was destroyed in the lat ter. It is not known what insurance the houses carried.
 The South Bisbee hose company fought the flames uu:iI 4"nv were sub Siued. Following so closely upon a similar fire near the cemetery a few nights ago, whom an empty house was set afire, destroying another near it, the fire last night caused the Le- lief in some quarters that both were of incendiary origin. The authori- ties are investigating this theory.
