WIN. MoCoy, One Of the Loeafors Of
the Richmond Mine Laid 90 HIS
Final Rest.

One by n the old residents OF
Eureka, whose names are woven in
its early history, and to whose energy
perseverance and love Of venture in
new fields many millions have been
added 10 the worlds wealth, pass
over to the silent shore. One more Of
the pioneers Of this district has been
laid quietly in his last resting place.
~ ii o'clock last Monday morning
WIN. &. McCoy, One Of the locators OF
the Richmond and other mines on
Ruby Hill, died at the Morgan lodging
house, in Eureka, from the effects OF
the accident he met with nearly three
weeks ago. His funeral took place
last Wednesday afternoon from Odd
Fellows Hall, under the auspices Of
the Knights Of Labor, Of which order
he was a member in good standing,
and his remains were followed to the
grave in the Catholic Cemetery by a
long procession OF Knights, friends and
acquaintance. He fingered for Is
days after the accident occurred, dur
ing which time he was semi-uncon-
scious. The direct cause OF his death
was severe conclusion Of the brain.
A Coroner's inquest was held on his
remains last Tuesday, and the verdict
rendered was in accordance with the
facts already known to the public. Mr..
Mccoy was one of the early pioneers
OF the camp, having been one Of the
original locators Of the Richmond, and
some Of the claims composing the
Eureka Con. mine, and also in the
Justice, one of the claims Of the jack
son Mining Company. As is well
known, with his eo-locators he sold his
interests for a large amount OF money,
which went as often go the fortunes OF
others made in a similar way. Since
the deceased sold out his interests in
the Ruby Hill mines, he had travelled
nearly all over the world, his last trip
from here having been made into
Mexico. After his return from there
he was employed in the Richmond
mine, where he made his first money.
He was an impulsive man, but some
what eccentric, yet those who knew
him best will sadly remember his
untimely death. He was a native OF
Louisiana, aged 55 years. Sacred be
the memory OF this pioneer, to whom,
with his fellow Adventures, Eureka
owes very much OF its prosperity.

The Piutes are feasting on rabbits
nowadays, says the Silver State, the
bounty on their scalps is an incentive
to the red men to kill them. Pine-nut
soup. a connection made of the oily
nuts and rabbits, is a favoiite dish
with the Indians in cold weather, and
they say it makes them +" heap fat"

Small Fox Among The PapagOeS.

Col. Johnson, agent of the Mari copa, Pima and Papago Indians is in the city accompanied by his wife and daughter. He is here looking into the rumored smallpox cases with Papago Indians. Yesterday Chief Ascension came in and agent Johnson had an interview with him and learned that some six or eight of the Papago children in the vicinity of the San Xavier church are down with the disease. He stated there had been others but they had recovered.
 Dr. Fenner has been employed by the government to look afterthe sick and will visit the reservation daily or as often as necessary. A guard has been appointed to keep Indians from visiting families where they have any sick, and it is more than probable that the disease will soon disappear as it is ofa mild form.-Star.

Bound Over.

Charles Baker, who on the 27th of last month shot Wm. Simms at the Hog Ranch near Fort Bowie, had a preliminary examination yester- day before Justice Shearer, and was bound over to appear before the next grand jury in the sum of $500. From the testimony at the exmina- tion it appears that the parties had some trouble the night previous to the shooting, during which Baker got pretty well beaten up. The next morning he shot Simms when his back was turned, the ball pass ing through his body, and yet he his is knocking around and almost well.-Prospactor.

Long Life of a Turtle.

It seems that in 1910 Henry Mo- gull, father of the present Treasur- CT of Highland county, caught a turtle on his farm in Center Town ship, Ohio, and cut into it's back the initials, HI. M., 1S1O." He let the turtle go, but related the cir cumstance to his son.
 A few days since the County Treasurer was out walking over the old farm, when he accidentally came across the identical old turtle upon which his father had carved his initials seventy-eight years be- fore. The turtle was alive, and as active as eyer, the inscription on his back being almost as distinct as when first made.

4 New and Peculiar Malady.

Mrs. John Flanagan, and her
 young sister-in-law, Miss Flanagan,
 residing short distance from Dora,
 Indiana, were, short time since
 attacked by strange malady,which now promises to terminate fatally. The ladies were almost on the same day stricken down with a chill, and immediately began frothing at the mouth, attempting to bite them selves and their friends who ap- preached. So violent have they now become that it requires the ef- forts of several persons to restrain when the convulsions are on. The unfortunates are perfectly rational and fully realize their condition, but say that they are utterly una ble to control themselves while the fits are on. The affection strongly resembles hydrophobia, but neither of the women nor their friends can remember of having been bitten by a dog. In one of the convulsions Mrs. Flanagan bit off half her ton que, and to prevent her inhicting further injury her mouth was tied shut. The case thus far has com pletely baffled medical skill, and it is the belief of the physicians the country round that neither will long survive. The fact that both were stricken down at the same time is regarded as one of the most mys- terious phases of the singular cases.

A Crushed Skull

The working at the Federal build ing unearthed mass of human
 bones while excavating yesterday for the north portico. In the old
 building sort of court extended out on the north side which has scarce ly been visited for years by any body, It was in this inclosure that the bones were found. They were covered with only about 12 inches of earth. Superintendent Brigham was present when the excavation was made, and when the bones were struck he had them uncovered with some care. A mass of stuff that resembled decayed clothing and papers was found near the larger bones. The skull was taken out and critical examination devolop- ed the fact that in the back part of it, at about the base of the brain, had been crushed in, evidently with some death-dealing weapon on of no mean dimensions. From this circumstance, and the fact that the bones were covered with so little earth, it is believed that here has been found all that is left of some terrible murder. The dark deed committed years ago, no doubt, and the body of the victim dragged into this isolated court and concealed there. Mir. Brigham took one of the teeth from the jaw bone and found that it contained tiny gold filling. The skull and other bones were given to Judge Sloan and will have place in the "mysterous de- partment" ofhis private museum.- Santa Fe Herald.

Indians Reported Out.

A report was received from Will cox yesterday to the effect that from eight to twelve Apache Indians had left San Carlos reservation on Fri day night, that the troop had start ed in pursuit, and a short but sharp engagement had ensued, during which several scouts were killed. It was also stated that the Indians stole about about 40 head of cat tie and some horses. When they left they started in a northerly di- rection. That was about the sub- stance of the report, and as the wires are down to Fort Apache no further o rmore reliable information can be obtained. Through the kindness of MT Harrington, the tel egraphic operator, the Prospector communicated with such points as were possible, but no further in- formation than that gwen above could be obtaind, except that the report was considered to be exag- gerated.-Prospector.

TrampS TerrOriZing People.

An Ashtabula, Ohio, dispatch of
 July 31, says: A gang of about 20
 tramps have been making it very
 lively for farmers and railroad men
 in this section for a few days. Mon day they were surrounded in their camp by the local police, but they
 managed to escape. All of them were armed with revolvers and were desperate men. Monday night they boarded Lake Shore freight train near this place and compelled the conductor to carry them to Geneva, twelve miles west. On the way they broke open box car and secured a lot of liquor and all became howl ing drunk. At Geneva they left the train, and Tuesday night they at tackled farmer living near that place, shooting through the win dows and destroying considerable property. Complaint was again made to authorities, and yesterday morning the local military com pany was ordered out and sent to Geneva. They found the tramps entrenched near Geneva, and after and after a sharp fight in which many shots were exchanged with out serious damage to either side, the tramps were taken and brought to the city, where they are now in jail. Exaggerated reports were cir culated regarding the affair, it be- ing stated that a big train robbery had been committed on the Lake Shore road at this point.

When Colonel Arvizo, of Nogales scandal notOriety, who had arehear- ing before a military tribunal in the City ofMexico, was being consigned to the military prison at Flaltelolco, the officer in charge read to him his commitment On reaching that portion in which it stated that the sentence of deat1 had, through the interp osition of the United States government, been commuted to twenty years Imprisonment, he ex- postulated and said that he prefer red death rather than receive his life at the hands of a foreign govern ment, and insisted on the carrying out of the original sentence. This patriotic declaration won him fa- or and in consequence thereof he is but little liable to serve out his full term.-Prospector.

OHCO SNCly SCdl IhO pOlIlio VI
 the mines are opened. On the eve
 of St. John, toward evening, an old
 man appears at the mouth of the
 tunnel, and later the mountain
 side is peopled as of old, the ghost
 ly actors going through the work
 as in life. ,.the men with hammers,
 the muleteers at their arastras-all
 busy at work, but silent as the
 grave. A young man was belated
 while looking for cattle came unex-
 pectedly upon the scene. He was
 fixed without power of motion, and
 was forced against his will see the the ghostly crew at work over the glittering golden treasures. At 12 o'clock the ghostly captain gave the signal and all hands quit work, and, seizing their napkins contain ing the midnight lunch, lit fires to heat their tortillas and coffee. The
 fire was an unearthly blue and burn ed with a fickering uncertain light. The eyes of each and every one were lit up with uncanny glow of phos- phorescent light. At word they all resumed work, until, at the growing of a cock at distant ham, let, all vanished, and the unwilling spectator found himself again cap able of action. In the gray morn ing he rushed frantically home, tear ing flesh and clothing in his mad | rush through the thorny brush. Ar irving home he was met by horri- fled look from his wife, who fell to the ground. His hair had turned snow-White, and while only p years old he appeared to be an old man of 60.
 Years after this some little girls were out gathering wild fruit. They came upon a level place free of brush, which they never remem- bered to have seen. Looking up they saw the entrance to tunnel, and just inside was seated vener- able old man who was making mo- lions for them to come closer, but they, being frightened, ran home. The next day party of men visited -he spot, but it was tangled laby- ninth of thorny brush, interspersed with large trees.
 The tradition further states that n only one way can the spell be broken. That a person of perfectly pure heart must walk boldly up to he mouth of the mine, and, boldly addressing this old man, must ask vho he is and what he wants. He will offer to give to the speaker the wealth of the mountain only on he promise that one-tenth of all he wealth taken from the mine be devoted to masses for the souls ,f himself and his murdered com )anions.-Globe- e-Democrat.

About six o'clock this morning some say few minutes before, and others a few minutes after-Tucson experienced a sharp earthquake shock. It was of but momentary duration, and it shook things up lively while it was about it. The motion seemed to be from south to north. Some people ran out of their houses, and others were too bewildered to get out. In Mrs. Driscolls house on south Meyer street, 1t shook the plaster down and frightened the inmates into the streets. In the Welisch block 1t had the appearance of something giving the building three or four sharp jerks, while at the same time 1t seemed as if some one was jump ing on the roof overhead. At Mir. Mansfeld's house on Stone avenue, the same noise that accompanied the big earthquake Of couple of years back, was plainly heard. The inmates of the Fashion saloon in the Pearson block lost no time in getting out, but the shaking up was generally felt, and everybody has ex- periences to relate.-Tueson Citi- zen, July 24th.
