The Congress Ore on Tuseday morn
mg was much more serious than was
reported yesterday in as much as one
human life was lost.
Tho fire occurred about four
o'clock, originating in the Star lodg
ing house, owned by F. R. Contreras
and was caused by a lodger leaving
a lamp burning in his room all night.
which exploded in the early morning
hours. The occupant of the room
whose name could not be learned, was
quite seriously burned in making his
escape, being asleep at the time the
fire started.
The buildings destroyed wero the
Star lodging house and saloon, owned
by F. R. Contreras; Barrassa's saloon
adjoining; a Chinese restaurant;
barber shop, and Abe Sroor's livery
barn and corral. Tho total loss will
reach 510,000 or 812,000. Barrassa and
Contreras are reported to bo insured
for 1,000, one for $1500 and the
other for $2300.
Contreras' building was about 75x1-10
in size and Barrasa's was longer but
not so wide. Sroor saved his horses
and vehicles but two car loads of hay
and grain were burned up.
This fire has cleaned out all the
wooden buildings in the business part
of lower Congress the remaining
buildings being of adobe.
Englehart's store had a narrow es
cape as the wiuu as blowing a gaie
at the time of tho fire, and in the di
rection of his building. A tolephone
pole standing at tho end of his porch
was burned by the fire.
Tho victim of the fire was unknown,
and it was not known until late in
the morning that a human life had
been sacrificed. All that remained of
him was his charred trunk which was
found near where the piano in Bar
rassa's saloon had stood. The occu
pants of tho saloon at tho time state
positively that there was no one left
in there and the manner of bis death
is only conjectured. By somo it is
thought that it may have been
tramp who had lain down to sleep
under tho building and been caught
bv the flames. Again he may have
been a lodger in the adjoining build
ing, where the fire originated, and
jumped from it and was caught by the
flames, falling in the location where
be was found. But all theories are
mere conjecture, and no one is known
to be missing and the identity of the
burned man is not known.
While the flre'licked up tho wooden
buildings, burned the fence surround
ing the lots, even consuming tho fence
posts, there was a little wooden
building between the buildings which
wero burned and tho fence, which was
used for storing gasoline and coal oil,
and which had a considerable amount
of both casolino and coal oil in it at
tho time,escapcd with a slight scorch
ing.
During tho lire, or come other time
during tho night, the store of G. G.

Dennis J. Marr was born in Wales,

fourteen he went to sea aud for sev

one of bis voyages he lauded at San
Francisco. Here be was joinod by
his only brother, who had eu ered
upon a seafaring life one year later

men decided to leave the sen aud go

they started to Arizona over the fa

began a frontier life of constant and
thrilling adventures. Mr. Marr and
his brother reached what is now the

to Miss Jean Pratt Of this union
four children were born, Mrs. Edward
Walker, Misses Edna and Maud and
Master Joo Marr.
Mr. Marr was born of sturdy Puri
tan New England stock, a fact of
which he was justly proud and to
which his wholo life and character
lent additional credit.
With tho iustiucts of true manhood
he identified himself from tho first
with that better clnss of pioneers who
stand for tho civilization nnd develop
ment of a country, with characteristic
bravery he was ever ready to risk life
aud property if need be in fighting
for the same.
Although he was widely known as
a man of utter fearlessness iu times
of danger, he was aud still is as wide
ly kuowu as a man of unblemished in
tegrity. His word once given was
most religiously kept No other
surety would ho ever give, and by
those to whom he was known no other
was over required.
But it was in his home that the gen
tler graces of a truo man were most
manifest. Here he was the tender,
thoughtful husband, the- kind, iudul
gont father, aud to both wifo and
children the intimate, confidential
friend. His home was bis world, and
no detail was too small to bo of inter
est to him if it was in any degree of
interest to any one of his household.
Fearless in every attitude- of life,
just in all his estimates, tender iu all
his relations and charitable in all his
dealings what n heritage to leave his
family.
For several years ho has suffered
from a hurt, tho result of an accident
Failing health led him to California
and in June of last year he settled in
Downey, where already a wide circle
regret iiis loss to the community.
Mr. Marr leaves not only his wife
and four children to mourn bis death,
but he lpaves also onebrohterand two
sisters, Joe Marr of Aultman, Ari
zona, and Miss Marr of Boston and
Mrs. Andrews of Tacoma, Wash.
The end camo gently and peacefully
in the early hours of Saturday, De

Nearer, My God, To Thee."
Loving bands took the remains to
Evergreen cemetery, Los Angeles, and
in that beautiful City of tho Dead
left all that was mortal of Dennis J
Marr.
Whose daily prayer, far better nn

So calm.so constant was his rectitude.

What Shall We Do With Sewage.
The city council is in special ses
sion this afternoon considerinc
proposition to purchase the John
Duke ranch for a sewer farm. An
option for thirty days has been re
ceived on the ranch at a price of $35,-
000. This seems like a very exorbitant
price at a first glance, yet on consid
eration of all the circumstatnees. it
may not prove to be so expensive to
the city as it looks. The ranch con
tains about 1500 acres, or at least the
option given embraces that amount of
which probably 200 acres or less is of
considerable value for agricultural
purposes. Of course no one would
think or giving $35,000 for the proper
ty for agricultural and grazing pur
poses.
The city is compelled to seek an
outlet for its sewer. The old Cook
ranch has been spoken of as a place
for it. It would oost one 'half of the
amount asked for the Duke ranch to
extend the sewer line to the Cook
ranch. Then comes the people living
below who have already made threats
of a suit in case that place is used for
that purpose. In addition it is not
capable of being utilized to the ad
vantage of the city as the Dnke ranch
could be.
The price asked for the Dnke ranch
includes title to the land as stated
and the dismissal of the 15,000 dam-
nge suit now pending against the city.
By tho introduction of septic tanks
the sewage could be used for fertiliz
ing and for irrigation making the
land highly productive, and remuner
ative.
Mr. Glass estimates that within less
than five years the ranch could be
made to pay enough to pay the inter
est on the bonds required for the pur
chase of tho property. He oites the
fact that Pasadena, California, which
faced conditions similar to those ex
isting in Prescott, purchased a sewer
farm and last year realized a net pro
fit of -foOOO from it.
Tbb question is one which the citi
zens of this town are called upon to
olve and that right soon. Shall tho
Duke proposition be accepted? If
not, what then? Where will the out
fall of the sewer be located?
Suggestions and advice are in
order, but the time for action is near
hand. Speaking of the eeptic
tanks, in connection with the Duke
ranch, Mr. Glass says they would
cost about $5000. Tho expense for ad
ditional sewer would be very light, as
it would only have to be extended a
very short distance.

Most i ?o!'!c have an idea that rheumatism is contracted like a. cold, that the
damp, chilly air penetrates the muscles and joints and causes the terrible aches
and pains, or that it is something like a skin disease to be rubbed away with lini

caused by Urea, or Uric Acid, an irritating, corroding poison that settles in mus

teen years of age by the name of Yee
Wing, who is charged with being in
this country contrary to law. Mr.
Connell has been after this China
man for some time but never succeed
ed in getting hold of him till yester
day. Wheu the arrest was made the
prisoner offered the inspector 8100 if
he would let him go and say that Sam
Lee, the well known Chinaman at
Mayer, was his father. The inspector
told the Chinaman that be would have
to come with him up to where his
partner was before he could let bim
go, aud then took him into the back
room of the sheriff's office and in the
presence of Sheriff Roberts the China
man reuewed the offer of $100. Today,

that ho was born in San Francisco,

of right to remain in this country he
said be lost it in a fire, so his story
does not seem to bold together very

The date of his trial was set for
Februarys, at which time the hearing
of the cases against Yee Lee and Gen
Lung Chong will also be taken up by
Commissioner Forest The latter cases
were to have come up for bearing to-

arrive of some depositions they were
postponed to the above date.
U. S. -Marshal McCord also served

her home with Mr. and Mrs. P. W.
Otis for the past two or three years.

can be easily done, rather than let it
