The rear end of the Arizona saloon, an empty frame building, was discovered on fire, and the flames speedily subdued. It was found that the building had been saturated with coal oil, and but for the timely discovery, owing to the high wind prevailing, the town would surely have been burned to the ground. If any of these fire- bugs are caught their necks will surely crack. The detective of the Citizen discovered a young woman on the platform who was hunt- ing for husband and mother who had eloped together. She was only sixteen years old. ( 25 )
