San Marcial, April 19. At two j
minutes past six o'clock this evening
a wild cry of fire was heard and at
six twenty the entire row of build-
ng9 west of the depot building, 22 in
number, were in allies. Simultane
ous with the cry, great volumes of
smoke issued from the rear of Lock-
wood's billiard hall. "Within two
minutes from the first crv the entire
uilding was in flames. A furious
gale prevailed and the flames swept
across the street setting fire to Fred
Geislcr's new saloon and residence.
So rapidly did the flames sweep that
scarcely anything was saved. Many
persons had barely time to escape.
The unfortunates and their estimated
osses are as follows : L. M. Spcare,
store, dwelling aud four other build
ing!, $6,000, small insurance. Lck
wood'a billiard hall, $5,000, small
insurance. F. Geisler, saloon and
residence, $1,600, no insurance. Mrs.
L. Eaton, lodging house and news
6tand, total loss, no insurance. "Gem"
saloon, owned by Spearc, total loss.
Colorado Restaurant, owned by Chas.
Hand, $600. Chris. Davis, bar and
liquors, $700, no insurance. Bur-
bridge, barber shop and building, to
tal loss. Pat's "Way Up" saloon, to
tal loss. Adams Express office, saved
only the books and safe. Cook's
saloon, total loss. Alex. Rogers, store
room, hay, grain aud provisions,
$1,000. Coucanuon's saloon audboard
iug house, total loss, $5,000. Schwiu
gle's wholesale store, nothing saved
but a few pieces of furniture belong
ing to Mrs. Mitchell, now in
Las Vegas. Holmes' lodging house,
in the rear of Geisler's saloon a total
loss. Immediately in the rear of
Spear's store was a small frame build
iug in which Mr. Spear had stored a
thousand pounds of giant powder,
this building as by a miracle is left
standing unburued. Many of the sa-
loonists and storekeepers had just re
ceived a new invoice of stock, not yet
opened. The town will be rebuilt as
speedilv as possible. The origin of
the fire as yet remains a mystery.
Joe Stokes.
Joe Stokes who has at last met his
deat.li near El Paso, was a man who
lived by his six-shooter and Jived
well. He was born near San Antonio
Ttxas. where his father is said to be
a wealthy stockman. Joe, however
had been repudiated by the old gen
tlemau. lie first came to this country
about six years ago, aud lived at all
the hurrah towns along the line.of the
railroad. He was a handy man with
a 6ix-shooter, and whenever short of
fjuds whipped out his gun and con
vinced the man of whom he sought to
effect a loan, that it was better to
give him the mouey he required
rather than insisting on any col
lateral, as ho only put up lead for such
purposes. It is said that he commit
ted a murder in Dodge City a few
years ago, and was lodged in jail. One
day he pounced on the jailor, choked
him and relieved him of his six-shoot
ers and belt of cartridges. He then
walked out of jail and made his es
cape. He spent sometime in Otero
where one of his brothers owned
half interest in a dance hall with
"Steamboat" a Mexican woman of the
demi monde, who had a reputation all
through this country. Joe succeedpd
iu inducing this brother to appoin
him bar keeper in the establishment
and soon had the owner of the halt
interest "froze out." He came to
Las Vegas with the railroad, am
opened his career here by cuttiug the
throat of au American over a game o
cards at the half way house, lie wa
rated as a desperado and is said to
have killed at least half a dozen men
Helcdasert of romantic life, ant
mauy thrilling incidents aro related
iu which he prominently figured.
will be remembered that Joe and Bill
Stokes were confined in Jail here fo
nearly a year, haviug beeu charged
with being engaged in the robbery of
a train In the cut near this city a year
ago last September. Both were final
íy released, it having been proven
that they were in no way implicated
There is strong presumption that
Joe was interested iu several of th
numerous stage rouocnes mat were
committed near this city a year or
two ago, Joe Stokes was about 27
years of age, 5 ft. 9 iu. tall,and weigh
ed 165 pounds.
After Stoke'a release from jail at
this place he went south and took up
with a disreputable character near El
Paso and was aiming to make a new
start by stealing cattle. A number
of men from El Paso learuining of his
depradations visited his retreat and
took him and another man aud hung
them. Thus it seems that Stokes has
met with a violent death at last.
