Onicial Story of the Killing of Col. Forsyth
ut His Home In Georgia.

Omcial Story of the Killing Of Col. Forsythe
ut His Home In Georgia.
The Department Of Justice gives the follow
ing as an outline Of the facts in the conspiracy
case at Macon, Ga, recently mentioned in the
papers:
During his lifetime VIM. E. Dodge Of New
York was the owner of q large amount Of lands
in that part Of Georgia, which, at his death,
descended to his heirs. 1t is charged that a
number Of persons, with lawyer by the name
Of Luther A. Hall as the prime mover. entered
into conspiracy by means Of forged deeds,
perjured testimony, &C.. TO prevent the Dodges
from occupying and enjoying these lands.
Litigation followed, both in the state and
federal courts, resulting in favor Of the Dodges.
the federal court making a decree quieting
their title and enjoining the conspirators from
in any way interfering with the lands or with
the enjoyment Of the same by the owners.
Disregarding this decree, however, the con-
spirators continued their raids upon the lands.
and some Of them, including Hall, were ar
rested. tried and punished for contempt of
court. Hall also was tried and convicted in the
federal court Tor perjury. Still bent on &C
complishing the object of their conspiracy, il
is charged that Hall with several others, en-
ployed negro desperate and agreed to pay him
$500 to assassinate Col. Forsythe, the agent OF

Fug,ttve Horse Thief K,Bed.

The Tucson Citizen report this exciting
capture OF horse thief who tried hard TO
esca. ., forfeiting his life in the attempt ::
Deputy Sheriff Bob Cannon shot and
killed a Mexican horse thief Monday
night, at wood camp, sixteen miles this
side Of Quijotoa, where the man had been
sor the past two weeks. Cannon and FIJI
iberro Aguirre, the owner OF the horse,
reached the place at half past i've, aud in
few minutes the man wanted rode near
and Was told by Cannon TO hold up his
hands, that warrant was out for him.
Instead Of complying he spurred his horse
hich VAS seiz 4 by Aguirre. Still prod
ding the animal with his spurs he tined
TO pull il away from Aguiue, who hung
on, though lifted from his feet several
times
Suddenly the man Ieaped from the
hor~e and started TO run off, paying no
heed TO CAnnon's order to halt. He ran
zig-zag, hoping thus to dodge ball from
the officers Winchester, and shot at
bis legs failed TO halt him. BY the sec
ond shot he had placed eatclaw bush
between himself aud the gun, and the
second ball, likewise aimed low, struck a
limb, glanced up and struck the fleeing
man in the side, bringing him down at
once on his face. Tie wound was NOR
tal and he died in fifteen minutes. He
only spoke once and asked 10 be lifted mp.
The distance at which he was shot was
fiiy-tiye yards.

not satisfied to simply work that out, sell
it then to some foreign syndicate suckers
and retire on his hard earned profits, as
so many do. While the G. o. ID. is
yielding good returns, the enterprisine

at Ceroat and one in Cedar valley in ac-

Delegate Dennis. "We have made pro-

A wonderful place is Tinajas, about
thIrtv miles southwest OF Mission Camp,
Arizona. The mountains at this point
have one, face of hard, smooth granite.
All the waters falling on this entire basin
are, by most extraordinary provision Of
nature, combined With the efforts OF
primative man. are made to flow through
succession OF nine wells, or tanks,
carved in tile solid granite of which the
mountail is composed. These remark
able recepticles are placed, or excavated,
one above the other, the upper tanks be-
ing approachable only by difficult and
circuitous route through perfect chaos
of gigantic detached boulders. The lower
tanks are easy Of access, and are often
drained of their contents by men and
animals travelling between Yuma and
Sonora. To one standing at the foot Of
the foot of the mountain on which the
upper tanks are situated no indication Of
their existence is afforded, nor does
climbing the smooth, steep mountain
side seem possible with one unacquainted
with the way. This latter fact is most
deplorable, because the upper tanks have
never been known TO be dry. Within
two miles OF these Arizonaian wonders
are certainly $50 to 200 graves, each one
marked by rowe Of stone laid out in the
form vi cross. These are the resting
places Of men famished for water, who
had spent their last strength in reaching
Tinajas, only to find the lower tanks dry,
and ignorant of the upper ones, had lain
down in despair to die.--st. Louis Re-

Prospector A. ID. Brewster is in from
Wickenburg to-day. On his way hither
he ran out OF water. While looking for
some he stumbled over an immense min
eral vein somewhere near the Aqua Fria.
The ledge crops out as high as an ordi-
nary red liquor bar and Is as wide as half
street. The mineral in part is heavy
galena and in part carries something that
may be almost native silver. Afterwards
Miner Brewster got water but meanwhile
wealth untold may have been his lucky

chances are good there is no possible
doubt. The area Of the country covered
with placer gold, that has never been
