 Con Shay zee, the Apache Indian sen fenced to be hung on the 10 of August, | Is evidently not aware of his new lease | on life, secured through R stay of pro- ceedlngs pending an appeal to the su- preme court, as he IS very anxious to | have his family, which is at San Carlos, |
 
 has photograph of his two wives and | three children which he holds in his hands almost the entire time. When the | reporter peeped through the bars this morning the condemned Indian exhibit ed to him this picture and also indicst- ed to him that he would like to secure 8 photograph of himself to send to his wives and friends. Con Shay-ee appears qui' e light hearted and IS not likely to again make Rn attempt upon hls own lie. Iu fact he Is no longer kept in 8 cell by himself but Is allowed the free dom of the entire jail that the prisoners may watch him and prevent any attempt at suicide. The scribe's interview with the lndisn T6s not entirely satisfactory as one did not understand word of Apache and the other was equally as ignorant ID the English languRge.-Ari. zOnlsn.
 Mir. Sam Hughes returned from the San Pedro last night accompanied by his family. He reports that on Monday night the San Pedro river raised SIX feet and on Tuesday night It rose seven feet additional, covering the entire bot tom with & rushing sheet of water io the depth of from two to four feet. Dur ing the last hour before NIT. Hughes de- parture, It rose three inches and was still climbing the banks when he left. Fortunately the people warned by last years experience, had made prepsra- ions for just such things and but little harm will be done in consequence. The only real damage that is liable 10 occur will be the destruction of the second crop of COTE and beans and melons and this is to be feared will be total. He heard nothing about the Indians being hostile while there.
