Sharp Teeth and is Cut to Pieces
Body Buried'at the Mill.
Lust Thursday at 11 o'clock a. in.,
James Hopkins mot an awful death at
a saw mill located about twentj-llve
miles this bide of Nacosari.
The first news of the accident reach
ed Bi&beo Tuesday evening upon the
aarival of tho stago from Nacosari. No
particulars-wtjro known by tho driver
except that a man named Hopkins had
been accidentally killed at the saw
mill and that a collln had been brought
'out from NaeoMiri and sent up to the
mill.
Wednesday evening C. It. Freeman,
ir.y brother-in-law of the deceased, ar
rived in Bisbeo from Sailord, Arizona,
accompanied by the bereaved wife and
three lutlo children, who will remain
h Bisbee until the arrival of Wm.
Hooking, a brother of the unfortunate
man, who was iu Nacosari at the time
the accident occurred.
Jaraoos Hopkins was a brother of
Win. Hopkins who had a contract to
lurulsh tho Moctezuinu company and
kan Miguolito company with mining
timbers and the Hopkins saw mill was
the only mill in that section of Mexico.
A short time ago James Hopkins who
Was a mill wright by trade and tho ow
ner of a grist mill near Hermosa, N.
M., arrived from Now .Mexico to take
cnargo ol the sawmill in Mexico while
his brother wont on a vacation. Mrs.
Hopkins remained at Satford, visiting
Mrs. Froomdn and was to await the re
turn of her husband from Mexico. Mr.
Hopkins remained at the saw mill about
six weeks. His brother had returned,
from his trip and was at Nacosari the
day of the fatal accident. " "
Just the exact manner in which he
mot his death the Review has been
unable to learn. The letter written to
Mrs. Hopkins after the accident, Deo.
13th does not give the particulars and
was written hurriedly in order to catch
the stage. This much is known that
Mr. Hopkins was working around the
saw handling heavy timbers when he
fell striking tho sawahd was fatally
cut about tho head before he could be
extricated.
At the time the letter was written
apprising the relatives of tho accident
it was the intention to start for tho lino
.with the body, but up to the present
time the remains havo not arrived.
The bereaved widow and children
aro at tho Besemer hotel and have
written to Nacosari tolearn what dis
position was made of the body. The
sympathy of our peoplo aro with this
stricken woman and friends havo offer
ed thoir services in every way they
could be of assistance.

FIRE PROTECTION.
Extra Caution Required in Bisbee
Against a Conflagration.
Our Eire Department.
Every Citizen must be a Committee
of one to Guard Against Eire. Sev
eral Suggestions that Might Save
the Town.
The location of Bisbee and tho ma
terial of which the bulk of the houses
are built makes tho question of protec
tion against tire one of the most ser
ious matters to all the people. The
history of mining camps all have their
record of conflagration. Globe has sev
eral times been practically blott6d out
by fire. Jerome has been twice burn
ed up. Bisbee has been fortunate in
escaping tho fire demon for along time,
still the conditions hore arc such that
once a firo is started tho loss of proper
ty would bo appallingly large.
The present fire department in Bis
boe is limited in its ability to afford
protection, though it is well organized
and composed of forty or fifty members
who have rendered valuable assistance
whenever their services havo been re
quired. Tho department is supplied
with lfiOO feet of hose, and four hose
carts, two carts boing located on main
street and two near the public school
building. The hose throws a stream
two and a half inches and the water
supply depends on the tanks on the side
of tho hill which are supplied by a
pump. During the dry seasons the wa
ter supply is very limited and tho fire
department would bo entirely helpless
in such an emergoncy.
Fire insurance affords a measure of
protection, but the rate is necessarily
high hero as in all other towns of the
kind where the conditions are so favor
able to the spread of firo when once
started. But after all, the precaution
of each individual property folder is
the best guard against fire. If
each of our citizens would provide
themselves with a few barrels of water
on their premises with a stationary lad
der reaching the roof, it would be a
very small expense and might be the,
means of not only saving their own
property but of saving the town from
destruction. The engoauity of men
has provided tho patent fire extinguish
er a protection against fire which aro
reliablo and effective in. putting out a
firo at its beginning. These oxtinguisli
ors aro not expensive and every house
hold should havo one? where it is pos
sible. The people of Bisbee cannot do
too much iu their judlyiduaj capacity
to protect themselves anjt their neigh
bors against lire.
A Disorderly House.
Thero was n disturbance at a disor
derly house kept by a woman named
Amelia Romero Tuesday night about
10 o'clock, with tho result that Rosalio
Topeta is fatally wounded and not ox-
pected to live, and Pedro Ariola is be
hind the bars awaiting the result of
his victim's wounds. Tho first news of
tho disturbance reached the office of
Justice Williams over the telephone
and he immediately dispatched Ofli
cora Thomas and Doyle to the scene of
tho disturbance. The officers found
Rosalio Topeta lying on the Hoor with
two bullet wounds in his body which
had been fired from a 11 caliber revol
ver. One bullet entered an inch above
the left nipple and came out under the
left arm. The second shot entered the
baok and ranged down, lodging four
inches above the right kidney. Dr.
Edmundson was summoned and the
injured man cared for.
After the shooting Ariola made his
Ohcape and was ovortakeu at Pete Han
sen's wlieie Mr Hanson had tho Mexi
oin hod at bay with a shot gun.
Ariola was brought back and had a
hearing before Justice S. IC. Williams.
Ho admitted the shooting and said ho
shot Topeta because that worthy had
called him names. The jnstiee diU not
think that kind of a defense worth
any consideration and no was ordered
to jail to await the results of Topotn's
wounds. The wounded man is not ex
pocted to live and tho chances aro good
that the gallows will again come into
action.

School Notes.
School closed yesterday to- the holi
days and will reopen again on Monday
December 31. A shorter vacation than
usual has been decided upon owing to
tho fact that there will be a ton
months term. It wus thought that a
week would be moro profitable to the
pupils now than in the warmer month
of June. By having only ono week's
vacation school will close a weok
earlier in June.
Appropriate closing oxorcisos were
held in the difforent rooms which af
forded tho children much pleasure.
Tho chart class and first grade gave a
joint program. The Christmas tree was
a source of delight to tho little folks.
The fourth and fifth grades also pre
pared a joint piogram. Tho sixth grade
gave a pleasing set of exercises to
which the upper grades were invited.
A large number of parents and friends
wore present in the different rooms.
The library collections which were
closed some days ago, amounted to
$137.73. About 70 volumes were pre
sented toithe school from home libra
ries. The United Moderns.
W. R. Harland, of Phoenix, territo
rial organizer for the United Moderns,
accompanied by F. W. Howard, arrived
in Bisbee this week and have been
writing applications for membership at
the rate of eight to ton a day. A lodge
of United Moderns will be organized
in Bisbee shortly and will offer excep
tional opportunities in the way of fra
ternal insurance. In thi3 territory
there is a lodge of 300 at Phoenix,
Globe 50, Jerome 140, Prescott 125,
Mesa 45, Tempo 110. In Galveston at
the time of the flood tho United Mod
erns had a lodge of 500 and all claims
wore met promptly and in full.
Prisoner Escaped.
Dayton Graham, deputy sheriff and
constable, was en route to Tombstone
last Sunday with a nogro prisoner who
had boen sentenced to fifty days in tho
county jail for carrying concealed
weapons. When tho train reached
Naco Junctiou tho prisoner entered
the gentlemen's toilet room and then
rnado his exit through tho car window
as tho train was leaving tho station.
Tho train was stopped but tho prisoner
had made good his escape and no
doubt was shortly in the land of inan
yaua. If the sentenco will servo to
keop tho negro out of this country the
ends of justice will bo subserved.
Frank Briggs, who has been under
treatment at the hospital for several
weeks foT a compound fracture of tho
loft log. has so nearly recovered as to
bo able to go to Phoenix on Tuesday to
