Joe Mulhatton.

Many people suppose that Joe Mulhat-
ton is as mythical as the wonderful sto-
ries that are from time to time accred-
tied to him. I know Joe well. He is a
commercial tourist of the first water and
has travelled for w. +. Belknap & Co..
of Leadville for many years. He has
just resigned to become general man.
ager, secretary and treasurer of an Ari-
zona mining company in which syndi-
cate of prominent Kentuckians are in
terested. Joe is wonderfully energetic
fellow, of diminutive figure, black beard
and hair and bristly eyebrows that meet
above a prominent nose. He always
wears Prince Albert coat and does not
look like a travelling man. He is very
quick talker, with u familiar, ierky way
of bringing out his syllables that once
heard is never forgotten. He is, with
all his romancing, hard working MEM
her of the Baptist Church and Il clever
and genial fellow. He is Il fine busi-
ness man and one Of the best paid drum
mers on the road. l will look for some
tall stories about gold discoveries in Ari-
zona when he gets settled down to his
new business.-&. Louis Globe-D Demo-

MURDERED BY INDIAN coNv1cTs.
How Sheriff Reynolds and His Two
Assistants Were Killed.

FLORENCE. Ari., Nov. 3.-The follow
ing details have been received OF the
killing of Sheriff Reynolds and two as
s!staniS by convictS, whom they were
taking to Yuma pcnitcntiary yesterday.
The prisoners consisted Of eight Apache
Indians and Que Mexican. The Sheriff
had removed the :hackles from the legs
of six of the Indians, before they
started TO walk up the grade near River
Side, but they were handcutfed together
jim sets Of two Sheriff Reynolds was in
front of the column and Deputy Holmes
and the Mexican prisoner were in the
rear.
At Il signal from one Of the Indians
the Sheriff vas seized by the two i'm
mcdiatcly back Of him, while the two
Immediately in front of the deputy
wheeled about and secured his gun, with
which, after killing him, they shot the
Sheriff., who was being held by their
companions. During the melee the
Mexican prisoner ran forward to the
stage, which was about forty yards to
the front, and warned the driver, Mid
dlcton. The latter drew his pistol, but
was shot twice by the Indians.
After securing the keys to the shackles
and removing them the Indians mutt
lated the body of Reynolds by crushing
in the skull in a horrible manner. They
then disappeared. Middleton, after
recovering sufficiently, walked back to
Riverside and gave the alarm. The
Mexican prisoner, after he had warned
Middleton, ran towards the hills. He
was fired at several times, but not hit.
After the Indians had left he secured a
horse and rode into Florence and gave
himself up.
1t is thought that as the Sheriff of
PiDal County and his Florence posse are
nine hours behind the murderers, there
is butlitle prospect Of capturing them.
A. dispatch from Tucson says troops
have been ordered out from Apache,
San Carlos, Fort Mcdowell and Lowell
to intercept the murdcrers if possible.

How to Rescue the Drowning.

A noted swimmer in answer to the
question:: "What is the best course to

time if they see you and they rise
again they know where to grapple with

you will BE- drowned. 1t is my advice,
that if you 20 to rescue a drowning per-
son you should swim around him and
keep behind him, so he won't see you
when he comes up the second time. An

DEATH IN THE BLIZZARD
A SNOW STORM AND FREEZING
WEATHER IN NEW MEXICO.
Thousands CT Cattle and Sheep Perish On
the Plains-A Number Of Cowboys Fro
zen to Death-O;hers Suffer Terrible
Hardships and PrIvatious Passenger
Trains Snow-Bound.

DENVER COL, Nov. 3.--Tho Re2u5H-
can'S special from Dayton, n. NJ, says:
Unless the SHOW storm which has been
raging for eight days comes 10 an end
soon, next summer will show the cOun-
try covered with dead bodies
of animals as th:akly as was the
old Santa Fe trail in the sixties. The
depth of the snow is now not less than
twenty six inches on level, AMI in
many places it has drifled seven feet
high. When the storm struck this sec
tion seven large herds of cattle, number
ing from 400 to 1000, were being held
near this place, awaiting shipment to
Eastern markets. The rain OF a week
ago was followed Thursday morning by
blizzards of snow and slect which sent the
herds in Suutherly direction In vain
did the already half frozen cowboys try
to check the march of the herds, but on
they went through the increasing storm,
until, finding il utterly impossible to
hold the cattle, the cowboys rode aside
and let them pass, and when nearly dead
rode the exhausted horses into canyons
or partially sheltered places, where they
passed many hours of misery, without
food or fire.
Two cowboys drifted into q canyon,
where they found cedar tree with Il
rats nest in it. They managed to light
fire with this. During the second
night one of their horses died from
cold, and, having nothing to eat, the
men cut pieces of flesh from the dead
animal, which they warmed and ate
without salt. After being here over
sixty hours, they started out, and after
much suffering and hardships from their
weakened condition, managed to reach
a ranch thirty miles away, where they
were cared for.
Five cowmen are known to be frozen
to death. Two Mexican sheep berders
have been found frozen to death. Two
men coming in this morning report
drifts in some places seven and eight
feet high, in which there are hundreds
of dead stock, many with horns and
heads above the SNOW. In one drift
thirteen were counted, and in another
ten. Some of these were alive, but un-
able to move from their frigid prison.
Herds of sheep are completely wiped
out of existence, and the range for
thirty miles from town is covered with
dead carcasscs. 1t is estimated that
10000 sheep have perished in this part
of the territory. The hay supply is.
nearly exhausted, and to-day $500 per
ton was offered by stockmen.
At Texline, ten miles below Clayton,
two passenger trains have been snow
bound for week. Provisions are run
ming out and passengers are compelled
to venture out in the storm and kill
cattle, quarters of which are taken into
the cars and roasted for food. 1t is.
thought snow plow will reach the i'm
prisoned trains tomorrow and release
them, aud that the road will be opened
ma day or two .
The storm is by far the worst ever
known in New Mexico, and the exact
loss of life and property cannot at pres
ent be estimated. @ f,'E.

HUMAN DEPRAViTY.
The Almost Universal Disposition to Ap
propriatc Umbrellas.


propriatc Umbrellas.
In nv opinion there is no moral phe-
nomenon in the universe more inscrut-
able than the disposition-I had almost
said the universal disposition-to steal
umbrellas. If should say that the
most honest person THAT ever lived, or,
for that matter, the most devoutly pious
person that ever lived would steal an
umt trella if he had a good chance, Iwould,
perhaps, put it too strongly. But, just
let me give one instance from full
repertoire of adventures with my UNI
brella. A week ago l came into my
sanctum with my umbrella, which was
a good one, in my hand, and set it
up in the corner of the room. An
hour later a very respectable gentle
man, who brought no umbrella called
on me, and, after transacting his
business, took his departure. A
half hour later he camo back somewhat
out of breath and remarked: "Oh! 1 left
my umbrella" and, snatching my UNI
brella from tho corner, was making his
way rapidly toward the door, when ar
rested him by calling out: "Are you
sure you left your umbrella here?" "Oh!
yes, yes" he said, still going. 'But are
YOU sure that that one is yours?" added,
with much anxiety. "0h! my, yes," he
said, glancing at it carelessly, and still
approaching the door. ''But," I said,
"are you sure that that is your name en-
graved on the handler" Never was
man more abashed. He glanced timidly
at the metal plate on the handle of the
umbrella, with my name engraved on it
in full, and. then, putting it down hur-
riedly in the first place he came to where
it would stand up, disappeared into the
hall. I am still waiting for his apology
or explanation, but not with any hope Of
getting it. Such is human nature

Fought by a Rooster.

Joe Black, a colored man living near
Bambcrg, had his little girl, eighteen
months old, terribly wounded by a
rooster few days ago. The child was
playing in the yard when the rooster
attacked it with spurs and bill and tore
the skin and flesh about its head and
face in a fearful manner. When the
father ran to hcchild the rooster turned
upon him and fought him until it vas
killed. The child WAS brought to Dr.

DALLAS Gains Her Point.

DALLAS, TEX, Jan 26.-Mr. W. K.
Wheelock, secretary and treasurer of the
Dallas base ball association, denies the re-
ports that the action of Dallas in joining
the Southern league was to bring any
pressure TO bear upon other cities in the
state. The Dallas association, he says,
is solid affair and it has counted all the
costs incident to membership in the
Southern league Their object in joining
the Southern league was first, to have
better ball than the Texas league could
afford; and second, TO reap whatever
benefits the game would be as an adver-
tisement. Further, MIR. Wheelock says,
ne dOesn t care whether Houston or Gal
weston join the Southern league or not.
Dallas is in and that is ali the association
