the building while two of the occu- pants stood on the porch craning their necks to locate the fire not knowing that it was their own dwelling that was in imminent danger. Through the efforts of those two old veteran |fremen, Tex Neel and A. L. Gravely. who quickly responded to the call, the flames were shortly subdued and what might have been serious con. fagration was narrowly averted. It behooves everyone at this time of year to use all the precaution possi- ble to avoid fires. The majority of our homes are made of very infam. mab1e material and once a. blaze gains headway it is almost impossible to check 1t, therefore everything possi- ble should be done to safeguard prop erty. There are many ways in which blaze may start that are not to any neglect on the part of the individual and of course these. cannot be helped but little care fulness exercised will in the majority of cases prevent any serious confagra tion.

:. 4umboId. MIne-

'Ta@
 An accident at the Humboldt mine about one o'clock Thursday afternoon resulted in the death of an Italian miner. The man, who was working in raise, was seated on a timber when post 10x10 inches and about mine feet long in some manner was loosened from the top of the raise some fifty feet above him and came crashing down, striking the timber up- on which he was seated breaking it in two. At the impact the man was instantly shot downward to his death three hundred feet below. The body was at once taken to the surface and removed to the Italian hall above the mine. When help reached him the mans life was extinct and it was found that his head was terribly crushed and that besides a brocken leg numerous other bones were broken and ne was otherwise bruised and crushed about the body. A coroner's jury was summoned and viewed the remains, also inspecting the scene of the accident. The inquest will be held in abeyance until the arrival of deputy mine inspector Harper. It is thought that he will arrive by Satur- day night when the jury will go into the cause of the accident thoroughly.

First Ball Game of season-


 The first game of ball to be played in Morenci this season was pulled off at the ball park on Sunday afternoon between the Morenci Independents and the Clifton Cubs. The score re- suited in favor of the Cubs 12-2. The visitors easily walked off with the honors in the first game and showed that they had been practicing to some purpose while the home team all though playing a good game were not in exactly the pink of condition. How ever, they promise to retrieve some of the glory of their lost battle on next Sunday when they pray the Independ- ents at Clifton. A large crowd was present last Sunday to witness the ini- tial game and although the score was one-sifed and against the home team they lent them all the support possi- ble with lusty roofing.

Found Guilty by Jury

The case of the State vs. Francisco Forsetti on the charge of petit lar ceny which was to have been tried
 Tuesday afternoon was postponed un- til Wednesday afternoon by Justce
 Lally. The reason for the continu- ance until the latter date was on ac- count of a technicality in the improper
 summoning of the jury, however, the
 case was brought to trial on Wednes- day afternoon. At this time the same
 witnesses were examined as at the
 former trial which resulted in hung jury The testimony introduced was substantially of the same character as
 in the former case and after deliber- ation of about thirty mnutes the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Upon the attorney for the defense waiving time for the sentence Judge Lally or 50 days. The fine was paid and as check for the amount was handed over to the court the woman admit
 ted her guilt before those present and said that she had stolen the ar ticles in question from the Phelps Dodge Mercantile company, the prose cutting witness. It is understood that there were other charges pending against the defendant but these have been dropped Employees of the store have for some time had their suspicious of the woman and have kept a, close watch upon her move ments and finally caught her with the
 goods. It was not at first the inten- tion of the management of the store
 to prefer charges against her, as the value of the articles taken was not more than 20 cents, and she was given an opportunity to confess and be let
 of with reprimand but instead she vigorously maintained her innocence ,nn .he la.. when A'.sr tue jnry. returned their verdict of guilty, she broke her reserve and confessed to stealing the goods, which cost her
 $50 more than had she admitted the the't i'll the first place. The outcome of the case will undoubtedly have a deterrent e:ect upon the woman in the future as we'll as others who are
 inclined to follow in her footsteps

KINDRED M0NEYB0X
SEIZED BY SHERIFF
Court Orders Investigation Into
Missing Timekeeper's Safe
Deposits.

Deputies Of Sheriff Grifenhagen yes
terday obtained an order authorizing
officials of a downtown bank to turn
over to them the contents of a safe
deposit box. rented by Edward {. KIN
dred. former timekeeper for the Booth
g. Finn Company, contractors. Al,
though the officials carefully guarded
the character of the contents of the
hox, it was learned that they consider
il important.
Rumors were circulated yesterday
that evidence has been discovered
showing Kindred may have been known
under another name before he came 70
New York, seven years ago. This EVIL
donce, it was said, has been discoverej
by private detective agency.
Several hundred thousand circulars,
containing a photograph and descrlp-
ton of Kindred have been sent out by
Police Commissioner Woods to all see
tions of the country. The photograph
shows him in an outing shirt and was
evidently taken on some camping eX-
petition.
Private detectives have learned that
man answering Kindred's descriptio1
was seen Saturday with a companion
somewhere in New Jersey. They are
following this clue, as Kindred was an
experienced hunter and skilled in wood
craft. 1t is believed that he went in
hiding in some out of the way place
in the country.

BUCHANAN, ANGRY,
FLOUTS PRESIDENT
Illinois Representative Annoyed
by Wilson's Failure to
Give Him Audience.

Washington, Aug. 9.-'If | am TO be
denied the courtesy so literally eX-
tended TO Congressman speaking for
Big Business, | shall be reluctantly
forced to advise the public of my posi-
ton in the premises through the e.
dunn of an open letter" wrote Repre-
sentative Buchanan, of Illinois, guld-
ing spirit of "Labor's Peace Council.
which met in Washington last week
to oppose the shipment of munitions Of
war to the Allies, in a letter to Secre-
tary to the President Tumulty.
This letter followed the failure o.
Mr.. Tumulty to arrange an audience
for Mr. Buchanan with the President
that the Representative might make a
speech in favor of an embargo on arms.
Secretary Tumulty made it public
with his letters to Mr.. Buchanan.
In his demand for an audience with
the President Mr.. Buchanan declared
that he wanted to show the Chief En-
ecutive chat the subsidized press, "ep-
resenting organized dollars IN America,
which is seeking to serve as the volun-
teer adviser of the President, is mis-
representing labor's attitude in the
present crisis" Mr.. Tumulty's letter
falling to make the appointment, the
Representative declared, was "talta-
mount to declaration that the Presi-
dent is more concerned about the de-
sires of big business than he is TO dis
cover the heartfelt sentiment Of the
common people"
Secretary Tumulty declared that he
resented the tone of Mr.. Buchanan 8

ences" drawn.

UPTOWN DRENCHED;
DOWNTOWN DRY

While upper New York was being
deafened, dazzled and soaked by an
extremely heavy thunderstorm, which
hung over that part of the city for a
half hour late yesterday afternoon, the
lower part Of town was not even damp
ened. Little rain fell below Seventy
second Street and persons in the the
atrical district only heard the distant
mutter of the thunder.
During the downpour lightning struck
the high wall surrounding Public
School 81. Hath Street and Mott Ave
nue., tearing a deep crack in it from
top to bottom. The same storm at
New Milford, Conn, last evening swept
the countryside with hail and caused
$4,000 damage to the tobacco crop.

A letter written by Mrs. Ogle9by was
introduced. It was sent to sister OF
DR.. Oglesby. and spoke IN friendly
terms of her husband. The purpose OF
this letter. written a short time before
Mrs. Oglesby became insane, was TO

writing of the communication, and that
she was not afflicted when she MADE
the notes.
DIR. Oglesby testified that he mar

WAYS delicate woman. At the time
Of their marriage he was earning from
SEQ to $50 in his private practice and

his lawyer said, because his fathef-ih-
law was averse to his living among
the damnel Yankees"
