His Sentence Served,

Warden Williams is of the opinion that
Wolf, the life-term murderer who, with
Franks, escaped from the pe%nitentiary re-
Gently, met his fate in the Heart river last
week. he believes that Wolf either sui
cided or was accidentally drowned. The
supposed body of a dead man was seen
floating in the Heart river Friday night by
two men who were bathing. The men
were not acquainted with the facts in the
case of the missing convict but the de-
scription they give of the body tallies ex
actly to that of Wolf. The Mandan Pho
neer gives the following account of the
discovery:
About 8 o'clock IN the evening, Mr.. John
Carroll, a brother of Richard and Willie
Mackin, were bathing in the Heart river
not far from the old slaughter-house, when
Willie saw what he took to be a mans
body floating near him. He pointed it out
to Mr.. Carroll, and they We're both so over
com by the thought of a dead body in the
river with them that they got out as fast as
they could and came to town without stop
ping to make any further investigation. A
party from town went back but could find
nothing near the place aXcept a few foot
prints on the bank of the river, so placed
that it is thought whoever made them
must have gone into the stream. Again
Saturday morning another search was
made along the river but nothing was
found. There is no doubt whatever that
the young men saw something in the water
which they took to be a dead man, but
there is a difference Of opinion as to what
it was. AS the river is unusually high and
swift at present, whatever they saw
probably f1oated out of reach before
this,

but in this they were agreeably disap-
pointed as it was exciting from the begin
ming to the close. Menoken appeared on
the diamond attired in gay uniforms.
While the Burnt Creek boys were not so
flashily dressed, it was evident they would
make a good fight for the honors. Memo
ken led off with one score, Burnt Greek
getting a goose egg. The latter's pitcher
showed weakness from the beginning, and
in the fourth inning Mclean was put in
the box. His curves puzzled the boys and
were not often hit. In the third Menoken
made nine runs, which discouraged the
farmers, but in the fourth and fitch New
conner was hit hard which again made the
game exciting. The crowd began to get
the "fever' about the sixth. and hOwled
and kicked as only base ball cranks can.
At the close of the eighth the gam be.

seven in the last while Burnt Creek got in
the soup" The score was as follows:
Burnt Creek 0-27
The ga me was umpired by Frank Ryan
of the Bismarck club, who gave fair decis-
ions, but probably never, never will umpire
another game. Although the score was
large the game gave good satisfaction and
should the boys decide to visit the capital
again they would meet a large audience.

A Family Quarrel,

Friday morning A. e. Fisher, while
under the influence of liquor, was talking
loudly and in an abusive manner to his
wife, who has the reputation of a hard
working, true wife, and being asked by
his son August D. Fisher to 90 in the
house and keep quiet, began to abuse his
son, whereupon the boy, who is about
twenty years old, asked his father to de-
sist. This aroused the fathers anger and
he struck his son. A general fight fol-
lowed. The old man swore out a war
rant and the boy was taken before the
justice court and waived examination.
VIM. B%raithwaite and Il. w. Griffin APP
pearedas his bondsmen in the sum OF
$1,000. The case will be brought before
the next grand jury, if it is not withdrawn,
which it probably will be. The charge
was assault with intent to kill. Public
sentiment seems to be in favor of the boy,
but the trial, if had, will develop the facts
in the quarrel.
1t appears that the elder Fisher is in the
habit of beating and abusing his wife,
and the people of his neighborhood threat
en- to deal with him as the white caps do
in such cases, if he repeats the otfense.

made only a brief stop at this place, but in
an interview with one of the party he
stated that they would like to have re.

engagements would not permit. They ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased with

North Dakota has a bright future. The

PROFIT IN ANIMALS.
AMERICAN HORSE BREEDERS I'M
PROVING THEIR STOCK.

Good Qualities of the English Hackney
Horse-His Specially Coach Work or
Light Hauling in the City-A High
Stopper, with a Beautiful Head.
One of the smartest and most useful
horses that has recently been added to
our list Of blooded stock is the English
hackney. Somehow it has taken our
inquisitive Yankee spirit a long time to
discover the merits of this horse, and it
is a marvel that since the first importa-
ton others have not followed rapidly.
Concerning this horses merits no one
can have any doubt who has an eye for
a we'll bred animal of any kind. There is
in his very action and his looks, whether
in stall or in harness, an appearance
which marks his eternal fitness to the
purposes to which he has long been bred.
His early history is more a matter Of
tradition than record, but for nearly a
century he has been bred on the same
lines and he carries his pedigree on his
back. His speciality is work in the city,
either singly OF in a cart with a mate for
light coach work. His stout, flat legs
set beautifully under a short, closely
ribbed body, make him capable of pull
ing quite a load over the hard pave
ments, and being fine throughout, with a
beautiful head and neck and remarkably
high knee action, he presents q gay ap-
pearance IN the streets or on the boule-
ward.
The Hackney is SO closely put together
and so smoothly made that he looks like
al 200 pound horse in action, but they
pull down the scale at something better
than 400 pounds.
In England this horse is very popular
and brings good prices. Here there are
not yet a sufficient number to make
them useful outside of breeding estab-
~lishlnents. The few men who breed
them find sale for all their surplus stock
to other breeders, and this will be the
case for some time to come unless we
shall have large ilnportations. They are
held at high figures by the English
breeders, and to get anything like a
working stud a very large outlay Of
money is necessary. They have such ex-
ceptional merit, though, and are a class
of horses so much needed here, that it Is
awonder more are not imported. In the
larger cities gentlemen have to depend
upon all sorts of scrubs for cabs, and
when they get the best they can find
they have only a mongrel horse, not to
be compared with the well bred English
Hackney.
It is only Il question Of time when the
Hackney will be in fashion, and the time
will come just as soon as breeders have
any Of them to offer for sale.
Until American breeders can offer the
t!."j1sAbrcl animal III quantities to
s;o-.y y demand buyers will have to
J.. cpatrntal with gra:les from the sires
which "e have. Crossed on good stout
mares they would undoubtedly assert
their special characteristics with a good
deal of force, for these qualities have
long been characteristic of the breed

Raising Mules,

A New Mexico horse and mule breeder
says: II can make IS per cent. more
profit in breeding mules than I can make
breeding horses of whatever breed. A
good pair of 3-year-old mules that stand
sixteen hands high and symmetrical in
their proportions will bring me 5000. A
pair of fairly well bred horses of equal
height and size will bring no more than
s4O0. There is less expense and trouble

TUCsoN Citizen: When the Hon. Marcus A. Smith was putting in his valuable CD time defending the Wham robbers and was being paid by the Government to defend it, he little thought how soon his day of reckoning would come. When Congress had been in session fifteen days it still found Arizona's representative in Tucson justi- lying by his defence of the culprits, one of the most audacious robberies ever perpetrated on the Government. This very act of Congressman Smith did more to blacken the reputation of Ari- zona among the people of the peace loving States than the robbery itself. The Government robbed by highway men in Arizona and the Congressman from that Territory neglecting his duty in Washington in order to divide spoils with the robbers by conducting their defence. No wonder Arizona has so un- savory q reputation when it's own Con gressman aids largely in bringing it and it's people into disrepute. The "wild and woody west" can show no parallel to such case. With such a record to stare our people in the face they will hardly extend to him their suffrage. Unless we greatly miss our reckoning Marcus will have many explanations to make on this dark stain on Arizona s name in which he has so largely aided in making.

TIE Tombstone Epitdph thus sizes up the Legislative fght "The Zulick wing of the Democracy, and it is this knot of schemers and jobbers that rule the party in this Territory, are making a desperate effort to control the Legisla- ture, in order that they may prevent any legislative investigation of Terri torial Prison affairs during the Zulick reign. As an end to means they have nominated r. R. Brady, one of Zulick's Prison Commissioners, as Joint Council man. Will he vote for any measure to investigate himself and Zulick? Not to any great extent. If the people of this district want q man who will do his whole duty as member of the Legisa- ture they should vote for w. F. Nichols"

No MATTER how much the ringsters may attempt to disguise the fact and to misrepresent the law to the people, who are deemed by them ignorant, Peter R.. Brady is responsible to very large ex- tent for the dedication of George II.
 Stevens and his bondsmen, as well as those of Little Steve" are responsible to the Territory. The money that Stevens stole was placed in the hands of the Prison Commissioners, and if they chose to place their trust in an agent who afterward turned defaulter, it does not matter to the Territory. From the Board as whole must the money come.

SOME time ago the morning Demo- cratic paper was loud in it's demands for Statehood, and every man who did not fall directly into line with it's views was an enemy to Arizona. But we notice a wonderful change of heart. So intent is it upon electing Mark Smith and c. Meyer Zulick that it has forsworn State hood for them. Today Statehood is practically in the grasp of the people of Arizona. They have but to elect the Republican Delegate to Congress, and a Republican majority in both branches of the Legislature and there is no ques- tion but Congress will pass an enabling act during the short session. But our erstwhile champion seems to have lost sight of this fact. Its whole cry is "elect Mark Smith and Zulick and the old prison ring of swindlers or we won't get any pie"

MARK SMITH came back to his old home, Tombstone, the other day and on Thursday evening a ratification meet ing was fixed up for him and for the county Democratic nominees. Marcus is said to have got a rather cool recep- ton and to have held the stump so long as to freeze out the poor county candi- dates. Appreciating the fact that his work is futile in Cochise county, he has started on a round of the northern coun- ties of Apache, Mohave and Yavapai, and may be expected in Phoenix on October 20.

 A friend of the Herald at Harshaw, and a Democrat, too, writes in a private letter as follows:
 "Iow is Brown (for Sheriff looming up among you fellows? I will bet on him being elected. Will G. w. Chey- ney get the full support of the ticket at your place?
