Way to Peace.

TOMBSTONE, 'Ariz.. December Lieu
tenant Mans, with Chief of Scouts Harrison,
arrived here to-day FROM Crawford's COM
mand, now in the middle pass Of the
Dragon mountains. Chattoo, now the
head chief remaining with the ChiracmA-
huas on the reservation, ~tclegraphed on
Sunday to Crawford's Apache scouts to
kill all the hostiles now out. as until this
Vas done they may not expect peace nor
safety for their families or animals.
Lieutenant Mans reports that there were
eleven Indians in the raiding party. One
OF them, the son Of the latenotorious Chief
Juah, was killed By Sanchez, Il White
Mountain chief, who with some scouts pur-
sued the raiders. Another Of the
marauders was badly wounded. The band
now out, it is said, would never return to
the reservation until thcr had kiIIe

among the members of the ChirachuahGa

the settlement OF the Indian war.
Lieutenant Mans returned to his command

fifty miles to-day.

A DISEASED MIND,
Tho Story Told by Evan Owens aud his
Examination for Insanity.

Yesterday morning as Judge Lippincott
was leaving his Office for his breakfast, he
was aecosted by Evan Owens, who asked
for protection, and being asked from whom
he told the following story, which could be
prompted by nothing except a demented
mind. He said that he was followed
by nineteen men, who were intent on
working him great bodily injury if
not instant death. They had, he said,
capped him into half a dozen saloons,
naming some OF the most prominent houses
in Butte, and they had repeatedly drugged
him. Finally they had followed him into
Il prominent eating house and drugged him
again, but by the herculean strength which
he possessed he had escaped from them,
only TO be followed again and again, and
he was afraid that as soon as the Judge
left him he would be murdered. He was
told to take a sea in the Judges office,
and as 500 as he came from breakfast he
would attend to him.
After eating, Mr.. Lippincott returned to
his rooms, and found Owens quietly wait
ing for him. The latter repeated the story
with minuteness and said that he was fur
ther pursued by a prominent citizen of this
city, mentioning his NAME, whose daughter
wanted to marry him, but that he did
not want to wed her. So deep was her love
for him that she and herfather had followed
him to Washington Territory, but he had
again made his escape from them and re-
turned to Butte. Thither they had again
tracked him, and would certainly kill him
unless he married the girl, which he would
not do. q
Then he went on and told about his work
ing at the Parrot smelter. and how the
same nineteen men had hunted him down.
Being unable to cope with him, they had
hired two men and sent them after him.
They followed him, each carrying a gunny
sack, and they had tried to kill and quarter
him and put him into the sacks, but again
he had proven the victor in the fight, n
got away from them.
The Judge listened attentively to him,
and when Deputy Sheriff Tonkin came in a
few minutes later, told Owens to go with him,
and he would be attended to. The officer
took him to the county Jail and registered
him for examination as a lunatic.
Later in the afternoon an lnqulsltlon
was held before Probate Judge Irvine, the
commission being DR.. {. B. Hough,, Harry
Nichols and L. Smith. After hearing the
statement of the mar and other witnesses,
the commission were OF the opinion that
the man was crazed by hunger, IN 1act ne
was on the verge OF Under the
circumstances they concluded to remand
the unfortunate man to the custody OF the
Sheriff and placed under proper treatment
for a short time in hopes that his aber-
alton was only temporary. The comm1s-
sion then adjourned. Subsequently Dr.
Hough prescribed for him, but when the
81 eriff went to give him the first dose ne
objected seriously, fearing that it was an
attempt to poison him. lie was, however,
n%ersuaded, and at a late hour was com
naratively quiet.

BosroN, December 1.-The Union Pacific

States Commissioners new order.
requiring more complete and mere frequent
returns. They claim, howeve:, that it
would necessarily largely increase their
clerical force, and that in fact it would be
impossible to comply with some OF the re-
quirenlents laid down. They question the
right OF the Government todemand a state
ment of the earnings OF their branch lines,
as these re in no wise subject to or affected
by the Government loans. AS to ten days
notice to stockholders of all business to be
transacted, they say that this, too, can-
not be strictly complied with, as not in
frequently matters come up within a half
hour at such meetings which demand I'M
mediate attention at the hands OF stock
holders. In these and other particulars,
they are disposed to regard the order as
unreasonable and uncalled for. While they
have not as yet decided upon the course
they will adopt III relation to II, it is evil
dent that they do not propose to comply
with it without protest,

their sympathy and aid in the work. Cop

neck, killing her almost instantly. Mosley
has been paying attention to Miss Dickson

NEW YORK's GRANT MONUMENT.
Talking About Urging the Committee to
- Drop the idea of Erecting 1t.

New YORK, November $3.50 general is
the feeling here against the Grant monu-
ment that a number OF leading and wealthy
citizens seriously talk OF uniting in a petit
ton to the committee urging it to relin-
quish all further efforts to raise money for
it's erection. They say there is no proba-
bility of raising the required million, and
if there were the work would not be ac-
ceptable to the mass of the Generals ad-
mirers.
The project never met with the favor OF
the hest people and conveys a wholly false
impression. By its continuance New York
ill only be represented in an unenvious
and unpatriotic light. which she, does not
desire. If the monument had been desired
the money wanted would, they say, have
been subscribed long'ago.
OF the 555 members of the committee
appointed to raise funds for the monument
but 100 have contributed anything. The
total amount contributed by these 100 is
$3O,7OO, an average OF 1907 to each man.
The committee is composed OF the wealth.
lest and most prominent men OF the city.

A DESPERATE FIGHT.
Two Feather Weights Have q Hard Time

SAN Francisco, December lone OF the
most determined prize fights ever fought on
this coast took place to-day at Alviso,
Santa Clara county, between Billy Hamil-
ton, OF San Jose. and young Mitchell, OF
this c%ity-both light weights. The first
meeting between the combattants was on
Sunday at San Rafael, where the sheriff
appeared on the scene and stopped the
proceedings before the men got into the
ring. Yesterday. the men met again in
a barn at West Berkeley, and fought ten
fierce rounds. In the midst OF the eleventh,
the sher1ff's appearance caused a stampede
OF the principals, seconds and the small
audience of hackers OF the contestants.
To-day, however, their rendezvous at
Alviso remained secret, and the fight went
on without interruption. After twenty
three hard-fought rounds, in which both
sustained severe punishment, the fight was
awarded to Mitchell on q foul. The match
was with hard gloves for $3.50 6: side.

SPAIN.
The Present State Of Her Affairs as .
Government.

MADRID, November 3O.-The new Cabinet
is approved throughout Spain, and the
only teal is in regard to Senior Zeorilla, the
Republican chief, who will lose prestige
unless he attempts a revolt. If he is cap
tured, the sentence OF death, already passed
upon him for participating in former ris-
ings, will be executed Immediately. The
manifesto OF Don Carlos, promising to con-
firm to Spaniards all their present civil and
religious liberties is considered to be a d.
rect bid for the throne and is also inter-
preted as a prelude to a proposal to a
marriage Of Don Carlos son, Prince Jamie,
and the Princess Of the Aurtrias. In the
event of no heir to the throne being born,
both the Carlists and Monarchists. would
welcome such a settlement with acclama-
ton, as it would end a fifty.years' conflict
and enable Spain to assume an appropriate
position among the Powers of Europe.
