whatrhe B,aek Water ts.

Capt. Polhamus sent bottle of the Colorado "black water" to the state minerologist of California and receiv- ed the following reply:
 Dear Sir-An analysis of the water shows that the black residue is clay containing sand, witch on exposure to the air, resumes its normal color, a light brown. The black color is due to organic gases which are carburetted hydrogen and which escape when ex- posed to the air. A sample of the les idue burned forms terra cotta.
 Very truly yours,

scene of & gathering last night which l was cosmopolitan in its character and sincere in its expressions for the future of Dr. Goodfellow, who has talk en his departure from the scenes of the ten years of his life just past. The ladies of Tombstone were there and the men were there.

People came and went till half past nine.

The tossts were appropriately handled by the Doctors best man, Marcus A. Smith, who as signed them, Hsnked by few suitable words, to each laTticipant, who in turn responded m like manner.
 MT. Smith in offering the toast "our Guest" paid a high tribute to the worth of Dr. Goodfellow as a mas ter Of his profession and citizen. The response by the Doctor was full of feeling He expressed regrets at leav- ing a community in which he had spent the best ten years of bis life, and promised that it would not be forever Amid the noise of the popping of corks, the laughter at bright wi;ticisms. or applause at more serious responses, good cheer ran into the early morning hours.
 The following is mention of the toasts and those who responded: Our Young Men-Howard Herring. COchise County-A R English Our Business Men-A Cohn Business-D A Macneal Our PiOneers-Jsmes Reilly The Press-S c Bagg Law and 0rder-C $ Clark Mining-W Staunton Cattle-E W Land

him wondered that condemned man
could fiddle. He took the instrument
from its case with loving hands, and
one of the "boys" nearest him saw tear
glisten on the varnish. Then he played
strains the like of which had never
been heard in those parts before were
drawn forth by his magic bow. Strange,
wild music, weird-almost uncanny at
times, and again soft, tender pleading
"a chain of melody-voices of Spain
and Russia, Italy and Hungary united
into one by free improvisation in which
the popular melody and the personal
creation were SO closely intermingled
as to make it difficult for the listener
to distinguish the original from the ac-
quired.
What rebellion against sorrow, pain
and despair was breathed forth by the
musical genius of the player. What
longing for sweetheart, mother-the
overwhelming longing for home!
Judges and executioners were turned
into a spell-bound audience. What
memories of his native land, old friends,
all lost to him, as he had said, were
Swallowed forth in that music. The
ten minutes had extended to hall
hour, and not word had been spoken.
The swapping of string at last broke
the spell. There was a confused muir.
muir. Jim said: "Time's up" but sew
eral of the men protested. "a guilty
man can't play like that" said one
rough customer, to whom the music
had awakened memories of better
day, leaving traces on his cheeks

utes there were hot words between the
proprietor of the theater and his com.
pany when compromise was effected
by Sanford pledging his people the re-
ceipts of that evening, 1t was at this
juncture that the sole representative of
the orchestra in this temple of art
spoke up; 81 Will play not Won note
more It'll hat my money. Not Won
ieetle note"
The speaker was German, of that
type that misleads one in believing
them Spanish or Sicilian until their
tongue is heard. Tall and slender with
curly black hair, and with eyes to
match behind gold-rimmed spectacles,
he appeared in strange contrast to
both performers and audience here.
He looked to Re about thirty years of
age, and was always dressed like a
gentleman, which fact alone had given
MIN no little annoyance. No one knew
from where he had come; but two
weeks before the occurrence of the
scene described in this narrative, he
dad applied to Sanford for his present
position, and, as it was then vacant, he
had been Immediately installed He
nad made friends with no one about
the place, remaining in his room rear

There was dispute for moment or
two, but Reeves faction prevailed. The
prisoner sat motionless. The break
ing of the string had brought him back
to the realization that his dreams were
of the past and his life also soon to be
cut off.
Just as violent hands were about be-
ing laid on him, there rushed into the
room boy who frantically cried "The
fiddler must not be hanged. The wom-
an in the next room says so. She is
sick and wants to say something TO a
priest"
"Wait a minute, boys" Reeves ex-
claimed; "Tll see what this means"
He and two others followed the boy
into the rough chamber, where the
woman lay a mere wreck with the
deathly traces of drink and con-
sumption plainly written on her coun.
tenance
When Reeves emerged from the
death chamber he related to the ex-
pectant crowd the story he had learned
from the sick woman. In substance it
was this:
Sanford had insulted the woman,
who through all her vicious life had
kept some shreds of modesty about her.
In their drunken row all three had
come to blows, and in a moment of
| frenzy the woman had stabbed Sanford
to the heart with the knife she had
stolen from Heimer the day before.
Stupefied by liquor and fright, she did
not then realize the enormity of her
deed, and had gone to her room, only
to fall into a drunken sleep, from
which she was aroused many hours af-
ter by the noise of the trial" in the
room below. On learning from the boy
the meaning of the uproar the whole
scene of the night before came back to
her with painful vividness-the row,
then the crime unseen by anyone, cher
husband having fallen seDseless from a
blow Sanford had given him. She was
first tempted to keep silence, but
strains of music had come to her ears
like the wall of man protesting his
innocence. Remorse was soon followed
by repentance, and it was her messen-
ger who had saved the mans life.
"Now," said Jim, 81 want to apollo,
gize to this ere man for the way we've
handled him. Pard, will you take my
hand? I've heard heaps O preachin' in
my day, though we don't get much in
these parts; but never knew prayer
to go so straight to the heart as this
ere musicianer's. Boys, we'll take up
a collection for him, and he can stay
here; and we will give him rake off
if he will play for us now and then.
Now that the strain was removed the
violinist broke down completely. 81
thank you, friends" he said, but
must go home to my own country.
That same night the sick woman died
And the next morning when the stage
pulled out with the one passenger a
crowd of rough miners stood at the
"hotel" corner and gave three hearty
cheers for the ''musicianer." W. E.
