GROVER CANYON SWEPT BY
 FIRE; MANY HOMELESS


 Fire swept Grover canyon Saturday afternoon, destroying more than 100 houses and rendering as many famil- ies homeless; entailing loss of ap- proximately $30,000.
 The fire was caused by an over heated stove. There is an unverified rumor that two children ,lost their lives. The Red Cross has taken charge of the work of succor.
 Grover canyon is outside the city limits of Miami, six miles southwest of Globe and it was difficult to get fire apparatus there. Miami volunteer de- partment and Inspiration Copper com pany's apparatus were soon on the scene however, and made desperate ef- forts to check the spread of the flames A high wind was blowing and the tarred shacks caught one after the other until the entire settlement was ablaze. Long lines of hose were laid from the distant hydrants and the fire ment went into the raging inferno in the narrow canyon and sent streams of water on either side of the range houses. The pressure was low and de- spite their efforts the fire continued to spread until it seemed as if nothing could save Lower Miami. After some hours of fighting the fire was stopped at the east end of the. canyon. Hun dreds of women and children were camped upon the hills watching the destruction of their, homes.
 The fire caught many of the mine workers, mostly Mexicans, asleep in their shacks and it was a miracle that some of them were saved. The scenes in the vicinity resembled the refguee camps at Nogales when things were popping on the other side of border.

TWO CONNECTS KILLED
 BY TINT EXPLOSION

Touching a match to loose powder scattered near an unexploded hole was the cause of the death of two convicts and serious injury to another at the state highway camp in a canyon near Superior last week.
 The dead men are: Michael Nunez, No. 5175; Jose Martinez, No. 5304.
 At the time of the accident party of three convicts were engaged in drilling holes some distance west of the road camp. A round of shots had been fired, and the men had returned to clear away the muck and prepare for further drilling. When in the act of setting their drills Michael Nunez discovered a little loose power near what was supposed to have been an exploded hole. He took a match from his pocket, lighted it and put the flame in contact with the powder A ter rife explosion followed. Nunez was blown practically into hundred pieces, that portion of the body re- maining intact carrying stones as large as baseball under the skin. He was instantly killed. Martinez, who was standing near by received blast of rock almost as great, but lived fol few minutes after the accident.

NAVAJO INDIANS TAKE < TO THE MOUNTAINS

During a storm last week on the Navajo reservation, one of the Navajo medicine men was struck by lightning and was unconscious for four days. Upon gaining consciousness he claim ed to have had a vision, and told the Indians that one day this week two suns would come up, instead of the usual one, and that immediately fol- lowing this there would be a great flood and all the Indians and their be- longings in the lowlands would be washed away. The Indians, always having great faith in their medicine men, immediately gather6 all their sheep, cattle and other belongings, and about $500 of them have gone into the mountains and refuse to come down. An old Indian woman called at one of the trading posts and wanted them to give her all the bacon and flour they had, but she claimed to have no money. When the clerk re- fused to let her have the provisions she remarked that he might as we'll let her take them to the mountains where she could take care of them, as the store would be washed away and ev- erything destroyed in few days.
 It seems to us that this old fellow was taking big chance in telling the Indians this tale, and will have some tall explaining to do when the flood fails to materialize.--Winslow Mail.

Giles has contented himself ever since with "cat maps"
 z The bed in his office is ten years old, but has never been slept in. It is cov- cred with cloth and is used as ta- ble.
 "When the boss gave it to me-" Giles explained, "he said, Winfield, I want you to get at least six hours sleep out of the twenty-four,' but I haven't time to do it yet"
