The next man to meet Joe McAulifTe was
Paddy Ryan, the ex-heavy weight champion
Of the world, who only relinquished that
title to John L. Sullivan, who whipped him
In nine rounds McAuliffe whipped him in
three rounds and did not receive blow.
A couple Of months ago Frank Glover, Of
Chicago, q good man, was taken TO San
Francisco TO fight McAuliffe. He went, he
fought well, but he was terribly conquered

railroad engineer before be entered tho
prize ring. To his watch chain today
hangs beautifully engraved medal as
souvenir from couple Of hundred men and
women whose lives he saved by his bravery
and cool-headsdness. The circumstances of
the affair are simply these: He was in
charge Of a theater train running out of
Dayton at midnight The suburban homes
TO which he had to convey his passengers
were far up in the mountains, which had to
be climbed by a circuieous route along deep
ravines and over stilt ike bridges The
roads were furnished with side tracks here
and there, to which all cars were supposed
to take when the daisy train" was due, but
this night, as Conley's engine was half way
across p-ec!pitOus bridge spanning deep
rsiv,De, he noticed that there was something
wrong ahead. The down freight train,
which should have been side tracked before
reaching the bridge, had got ahead Of tho
brakes. Il was too heavy to be controlled,
and on the rails that had been wet hy a
passing cloud it slid along regardless Of the
reverse put on by the engineer. Conley
could see tho brakernen Jumping from the
train ahead to avoid being there at the
collision, and SIS they swung their lamps a.
the signal Of danger be could see the head
light Of the coming engine just turning into
the bridge. There was very little time for
action, and 8 solid heart as well as a sure
hand was oil that saved hundreds Of happy
people from collision on mid-bridge
Conley immediately applied the air brakes,
and the unexpected shock to the passengers
was followed by the queer sensation of the
train running madly backward over the
same road if had SO YEARLY climbed only
few minutes before. All this time the freight

For year:

Juneau He was Milwaukee, first mayor.
Juneau died at Shawano in November
1856 He had gone there with the Indian
agent to assist in the payment Of the Memo
monee Indians. He was buried there by the
Indians, thousands of whom took part in the
simple funeral ceremonies. The remains
were afterward taken up and brought to
Milwaukee, where they lie in Calvary ceme-
terry. For long time they were unmarked
by even SO much as a single headstone, but
few years ago there was q revival of inter-
est in Juneau's memory, which at length
took the form of a proposition to erect
a statue to the pioneer statesman. The
idea was taken up by two millionaire
citizens, ". 81. Metcalf and c. T. Bradley,
who in 1856 gave an order for q bronze
statue to r. II. Park, the sculptor. The
statue, erected last year, was cast at
the Royal foundry, at Florence, Italy. It is
Is feet inches IN height. and stands on a
granite pedestal IS feet inches in height,
giving an entire height Of % feet. On the
two sides Of the pedestal are placed bas re-
Iiefs representing Juneau trading with the
Indians, and his Inauguration as first mayor
of Milwaukee. On the front is cut in bold
letters the words Solomon Juneau" The
otaOuo - 0Oue1cA AAohu PCeu 90 "a ouueou,
and represents him in the garb Of the early
Canadian voyageur. He stands as if gazing
at some object In tho distance The attitude
is one indicative Of vigor and self poise.
The body rests rather ON tho left foot, with
the right slightly advanced. The left hand
is thrust carelessly in the sash about the
waist, while the right grasps firmly tho
barrel Of a flint lock rihesinnlar to ono
owned by Juneau-near the muzzIs, the butt
resting by the right foot.
The statue stands in the park on the bluff
facing the lake south Of Juneau avenue, and
commands a full sweep Of the magnificent
view, taking in Milwaukee bay and its envi-
rons The statue is visible far out upon the
Lake, and Is one Of the first objects to attract
the attention Of the incoming traveller by
lake and the last on his departure. NJ

.:air fear was tempered with love and reIsr-
nee for his exceptional qualities Of mind
and heart So Tor years he lived an nm
crowned king among them He stood six
feet in his stockings, straight g an arrDw,
tut with advancing years his form took on
a portliuess that accorded well with his
stately bearing. Black curas clustered about
a well formed head, and his frank, open
countenanoe was Lit with . pair Of dark
piercing eyea. Juneau kept traders' store,
and it Is related that II he wanted bucket
of water. a dish Of berries, q handful Of
roots or q bundle Of wood, he would order
the nearest buck, of tho many that were
always banging about the store, to 60 and
get the desired article. Tho command was
never disobeyed, although if the buck
had wanted the same thing himself
he would have sent his squaw on
the errand. juneau married q woman who
had q good share Of Henomonee Indian blood
in her veins She possessed almost as much
influence over the tribes as did her husband.
At one time, when Juneau and ali the prin-
cipal men Of the settlement that had sprung
up about the traders store were absent at
Green Bay. the Indians in the vicinity en-
gagged in conspiracy to massacre all tho
whites. By means Of friendly Indians the
conspiracy came to the ears OF Mrs. Juneau
the day before it was to be put in execution.
Recognizing the fact that not moment was
to be lost, the brave woman, without a
word to the unsuspecting settlers, crossed
the river and made her way to the Indian
camp On arriving there she went at once
to the head chiefs and, telling them what she
had heard, demanded that they give up their
villainous plan. This they refused to do.
Finding arguments of no avail Mrs. Juneau
threatened them with the vengeance Of her
husband if they moved step. The awe in
which the tribes stood Of Juneau. together
with tho dauntless attitude of the woman,
held the Indians in check until the arrival OF
Juneau, when the conspiracy fell to pieces.
Juneau's services were of the greatest value
to the general government in its dealings
with its unruly wards. Through his in
Huence the Menomonees and Po.tawatonies
were induced to give up their lands and re-
tire onto reservations.

CHRISTMAS, with its joyful festivities and exhuberant good cheer is at hand with all its attendant penalties for over indulgence in the tempting but not always wholesome connections of culinary and hbatory achievement. The day is celebrated as the anniver- sary of the Saviour of the world, but just why the enlightened people of the present age accept the arbitrarily ap- pointed day for that purpose when it is positively known that the lowly Nazarene was born in the mild season when shepherds watched their focks by night on the plains of Judea, Is one of the anomalies of religious rites that is not understood by the blind follow CTS of the faith. As well might any of our national anniversaries be ar btrarily fixed at a more convenient time for the people to celebrate them. But however open to criticism this question may be the best efforts of the
 most eloquent iconoclast will be futile in shattering the idol that all people are taught from the cradle tothe grave to adore, and we would not, if we could, rob the day of single joy or breath of pious devotion to Him in whose glory it was inaugurated.

A MERRY Christmas.

THE mysterious organization that has terrorized portion:of Indiana and Ohio, known as the White Caps, has perfected like societies further to the west and has even invaded bleeding Kansas. The object of the organiza- tion is ostensibly the correction of the many society and neighborly vices through tho most cruel of summary punishment, but a spirit of vengeful retaliation for real or fancied personal wrongs seems to largely pervade their unlawful actions. They assume to stand above the law or, rather, are "a law unto themselves" inasmuch as they arbitrarily inhict torture without giving the victim the benefit of any defensive testimony. The breath Of scandal against m obnoxious neigh Dor is easily set ahoat and made pre- text for the most villainous personal violence that can be conceived. It IS said that many of the "best citizens or tffc- -i1ffcsted rcgions arc mcmbcrs or this unholy alliance, and wiold such influence and terror that no grand jury dare bring indictments against them. If the eastern civilization has such a lawless element for its "best citizens" what must the middle and lower classes be? Did such outlaws exist in Arizona the press of the very sections that now harbor these fiends would hold up their hands in holy horror at the perpetration of such "villainons frontier barbarism," but as 1t is they are strangely silent regard ing the outrages, probably through a fear of the averaging lash ppon their own barred backs. That such a formi- dable and widely spread body of evil doers can defy the wholesome laws with impunity for months and years in thickly settled communities, seems incredible, and that the authorities are batiled in their most jealous efforts to ferret out the perpetrators and bring them to merited punishment is past comprehension unless it be accepted that many of the laws officers are themselves enrolled in tho ranks of the outlaws. Public sentiment is intensi- lying a formidable opposition to them and it will likely force the disband- ment of the conspirators or bring them speedily to just punishment for their crimes.

Arizona weekly enterprise., 1888-12-22


 pees l11 past few months are worth more to Arizona than all those of his predecessor, and he has just fairly entered upon his field of great usefulness. It is true that his efforts seem to be largely in the in- terests of the Salt rivor valley, but 1t must be remembered that there is more actual progress and development accomplished in that valley than in any other portion of the territory and 1t has produced the tangible proofs of it's claims to superiority. While the great Gila valley in Pinal county IS, with good reason, believed to be fully equal in every respect to that of the Salt river, and quite as worthy of the attention of the Commissioner and investors, our people have not fully demonstrated the fact in a prac- tical way like the enterprising citizens of the Salt river valley. The same may be said of many other portions of the territory, where all the condi- tons are believed to exist for great future development but newcomers want better proofs of the fact than a mere expression of faith by interested parties. The Commissioner is there fore forced by the circumstances to speak authoritatively of those sections that produce the incontrovertible -nrOofs of superiority and to exhibit these proofs to the people among whom he labors. We have no doubt that NIT. Parish aims to act impartially towards all portions of the territory and we attribute his apparent discrimi- nations to the actual progressiyeness that the Salt river valley has,attained through the superior enterprise of its people.
