Right on the heels of B. w. Unglcs who returned a short time ago iron Boston. comics the Post of that city with an account of the marriage quest of the former goat raiser, which will prove decidedly interesting read I ing in this community.

 She must be blonde or brunette and not weigh more than l30 pounds.
 Height, 5 feet, 4 inches. A total abstaincr

 Here is where Ungles made a hit in the bean city. when he said: "1 ask no woman to take my word as to my moral or financial standing l have sent for references to the president oi the Prescott National Bank and the judge of the Superior court at Pres cott."
 He continued as follows, leaving the prison feature by the roadside: "l would like to get woman who has worked hardin a laundry tor ln- stancc-in order that I may show her d good time I don't want to marry a woman for leisure The people ot the East do not know what lite Is. We get all there is out of life, while here you simply exist. The home 1 will take my wife to will be up-to-datc with all the modern improvements. The woman l marry will be able to vote. for in Arizona all women have the right to the ballot. Prescott went dry. and we have the women to thank for it. They have made the town one of the cleanest in the coun- try, with only clean people in it. My income varies, as my money comes ill punches"

Fred Abbott, the cook. was killed. Capt M
W. Toole and Marlin Day, the other members
of the crew. were seriously injured. All three

his side was injured and he possibly sustained
internal injuries, Capt. Toole managed to keep
aAoat until rescued.
Day was badly cut, his skin being torn off

the wharf, was cut and burned, but not seri-
ously. He was the only person on shore who
was injured.
The boat, which was owned by the Standard
Oil Co, was rs feet long and had capacity of
ll,0Oc gallons, was used to distribute gasoline
along the Maine coast. She put in here to re-
celve supply to take to the westward, and
was being loaded from the large central supply

recall what happened, and only remember ed
that ne had been thrown violently overheard
Day also was unable to offer an explanation.
Inc boat was docked alongside Atlantic
wharf, and the flames were communicated to
buildings owned by M. D. & G. o. Perry,
burning shed used for storing wood. The
gasoline plant is situated more than 1000 feet
from the dock and was not endangered. The
wind was in the opposite direction.

who was the engineer, were taken, it was
found that both men were suffering with in
ternal injuries. Their condition was consider
ed serious. Day had two ribs broken and
probably will lose the sight of one eye
Abbotts body was found floating in the
dock this afternoon. 1t was supposed he had
been burned. but apparently death was due to
the explosion.
