FIRE CUTS PHONE
 SERVICE IN BLOCK
From Tuesdays Daily)


 As result of fire in the basement of the Bashford block Friday even- ing, several Prescott business houses Saturday morning found themselves without telephone service. Starting in the cellar of the barber shop own ed by R. NJ. Garrett, the fire burned out wires between the cable term inal in the basement of the building and the phones, cutting off service. While the basement cable terminal serves the entire lower floor of the block, only a part of the phones were put out of commission, those of R. M. Garrett, which was com pletely destroyed by flames, George Fields taxi service, the Biles-Lock- hart store, the Yavapai Savings bank, the French Shop and the Eagle Drug company.
 A curious incident of the burning out of the phones was the destruc- ton of the connection in the French Shop, whose phone was left unin- jured during the fire in that store a week ago. The reason was ex- plained yesterday by Harry Raber manager of the Mountain States who stated that while phones on the lower floor of the building were fed by the basement cable terminal, phones on the sec ond floor are wired from above. The fire in the French Shop being on the mezzanine floor, 1t failed to reach the telephone connection lead ing from the basement This also explains why phones on the second floor of the building remained un- harmed.
 The phones were repaired, and service reinstated yesterday.

LYNCH ACCEPTS
 TANNERS DIET
Whipple Fighter Willing to Do- nate Il Pounds to Wild Bill, but Never Sidestepped Challenge as Yet"
From Thursdays Daily)


 That Sergeant Jack Lynch, the Whipple Barracks welterweight who obtained the decision over Sailor Dunn of Jerome in a ten-round con test at the post on Washington's birthday, is not side-stepping any challenges, and that he IS willing, nay, ready to accept "Wild Bilp' Tanners declaration of desire to put on the gloves with him for a ten-round go at any time or place the Sergeant might name, are state ments contained in a letter from Sergeant Lynch to the Journal Miner yesterday.
 Tanner on Tuesday issued chal- lenge to the Sergeant through the columns of the Journal-Miner, in which he stated that he had heard Sergeant Lynch was looking for a fighter who would stay with him for ten rounds, and that he would abso- lutely guarantee to make the rifle. in addition to giving Lynch a run for the gate receipts. Tanner said he had challenged Lynch twice be- fore, in Phoenix and in Tucson, but that his challenges had been ignored. He came up to Prescott from Phoe- nix this week especially to get in touch with Lynch and his managers to arrange for a bout.
 Lynch replies to the challenge in the following terms:
 "In answer to the challenge by Wild Bill" Tanner appearing in your columns, I must say that l am ready and willing to meet any man on the coast.
 Until Tanners challenge appear ed in your paper, I had no idea that he wanted to meet me; and despite the fact that I strip l47 pounds and he 15S, l have never side-stepped a challenge as yet, and hope 1 may hNNNA ilelNN AOs
 (Signed) HACK LYNCH"
 Tanner will visit Lynch and his managers this morning to sec whether a date for a bout can be arranged. It is improbable that the two men can get together before the middle of the month, for the Sergeant has an engagement with Red Gardner at Tucson on the l7th, and will be kept busy until after that time. It is believed, however that a card will eventually be ar ranged, in which Lynch and Tanner will put on the main go. Fight fans here arc watching the outcome oi the matter with interest.
 Meanwhile, Lynch is hard at work training for his bout with Gardner It is expected that many local fight fans will travel down to Tucson or St. Patrick's day to be on hand for the Sergeant's latest scrap, which is stirring up considerable interest.

Cattle Market
Hogs Steady, Lambs Slightly Lower,
 Cattle Fully Steady

@ ~J 0NNAI
 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS Feb. 2S.-Last weeks advance in prices of cattle failed to draw any increase in receipts today and the market held fully steady. February is closing SIPS to $1.50 higher than the middle of the month and slightly higher than late January. Hog prices were steady to 10 cents lower. The only de- cline was in rough heavy grades. There was strong demand for light weights. Pigs were Is to 25 cents higher. Lambs were 25 cents lower and sheep steady, compared with the extreme advance late last week. Top lambs $lO50.
 Today's Receipts
 Receipts today were 11,000 cattle, 12,OOO hogs, 17,OOO sheep, compared with 1O,5OO cattle, 12,OO0 hogs and 10000 sheep a week ago, and $500 cattle, 1850 hogs and 13,4O0 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle
 Prices for fat cattle were fully steady at the extreme advance of last week and SIPS to $1.50 above the middle of the month. Choice steers sold at $9.25 to $98O and fair to good kinds $8.5O to $925. In most cases buyers quoted prices higher, but salesmen regarded the market as no more than strong. The fact that demand is sufficient to ab- sorb 12000, most of them fat enough for slaughter, without any weakness, indicates that the trade now IS in a healthy position. A good many cattle men believe that all acute shortage of fat cattle will be uncovered this month. Cows and heifers were quoted strong Demand was active. Veal calves and bulls were steady.
 Stockers and Feeders
 Prices for stockers and feeders were strong to 25 cents higher, with demand urgent The firmness in fat cattle is bringing an increased out let for stockers and feeders. Feed CTS sold mostly at $7.75 to $8.75, and stockers $7.5O to $8.5O. De- mand for milch cows and springers was active.
 Hogs
 Hog prices at the outset showed some weakness owing to declines in Chicago and St. Louis, but under an active demand from both ship Ders and packers, bids were raised and average prices were fully steady. Pigs advanced Is to 25 cents, and rough heavy hogs were 10 cents

WELTY MAKES CHARGES
Chicago Judge Accused of Neelecting
His Bench Duties for Diamond
Positive Specific Charges
are Made.

Washington-Kenesa Lands, fed.
,ral Judge of Chicago, was impeached
in the House of Representatives by
Representative Welty, Democra o
Ohio, who charged him with "hisA
crimes and misdemeanors" in connec-
ton with his acceptance Of the posi-
ton of supreme arbiter Of baseball at
a salary of $42.500 year.
Should the House decide to institute
proceedings against Judge Lands on
the basis OF Mr. Weltys charges. a
formal trial before the bar of the
House would be held and decision
rendered. Mr.. Welty did not introduce
a resolution proposing impeachment as
is the usual procedure in such matters.
Instead he arose to "a question Of high
personal privilege" and announced
that he "impeached the Judge"
Without debate the Welty charges,
on Mr.. Welty's motion, were referred
to the judiciary committee for investi-
cation and report. There were few
scattering noes.
Should the house judiciary commit.
tee find grounds for Congressman We'll
TVS charges it would return an indict-
ment of impeachment and Judge Lam
dis would be tried by the senate, Vice
president Thomas r. Marshall would
preside at the impeachment trial
Five Specific Charges.
Impeachment was proposed by Mr..
Welty on the basis of five specific
charges as follows:
"First-For neglecting his official
duties for another gainful occupation
not connected Herewith.
"Second--For using his office as
district Judge of the United States to
settle disputes which might come into
his court as provided by the laws of
the United States.
.Third-For lobbying before the leg
islatures of the several states of the
Union to procure the passage of state
laws to prevent gambling in baseball
instead of discharging his duties as
district Judge of the United States.
"Fourth-For accepting the position
as chief arbiter of the disputes in base
ball, instead of discharging his duties
as district judge of the United States.
"Fourth-For accepting the position
as chief arbiter of the disputes in
baseball associations at salary OF
$42,500 per annum while attempting
to discharge the duties as district
Judge of the United States which tends
to nullify the effect of the judgment
of the supreme court Of the District
of Columbia and the baseball gambling
indictments pending in the criminal
courts of Cook county, Illinois.
"Fifth-For injuring the national
sport of baseball by permitting the
use of his office as district judge of the
United States because the impression
will prevail that gambling and other
illegal acts in baseball will not be pun.
ished in the open forum as other
cases."

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root 10
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bsttle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
