A Dramatic Scene.

A Dramatic Scene.
 Phenix exchanges contain crimson paragraphs in their description of the legal examination of Rhodes, in which the aggrieved widow of Graham assumed somewhat of 8 tragical role. The following is ex- planatory:
 Suddenly a rustic of skirts was heard, and Mrs. Graham, widow of the murdered man, rushed across the railed-in space. In her hand, concealed in black silk reticule, she held a pistol. Before Rhodes even knew she was in his vicinity, the crazed woman had thrust the cock ed revolver to his s;Ic Isnd rpii1.tted the trigger. Sso>, >,ve-sd for the heart. But the hammer in its de- scent caught upon a handkerchief or the edge of the cloth bag and the cartridge was not exploded. All this seemed to have been accom- plished in less than a second. She was tugging frantically to release the hammer of the revolver, when Sheriff Montgomery grasped her by the wrists and bore her back into the arms of her father, Rev. W. A. Melton, who had followed her from where they had been sitting. He also tried to take the revolver away, but the aid of severrl deputies was necessary before the clenched hands of the woman could be opened and the revolver secured. Its cloth equipment was still attached.
 Rhodes, taken by surprise, was for moment quiet, then sprang toward the corner of the court room, raising his chair as shield against any further attack from the woman or anyone in the audience.
 "Mrs. Graham, who is stout | young woman of about 26, strug- gled desperately with her captors, crying hysterically, But he killed | my husbandl Oh, Godl Let me | kill himv
 "She was taken away by the sher- if and her father and placed in the | private court room. She would not 1 stay there, however, and rushed out | into the entry, exclaiming, why 1 don't they do somethingi He mur- dered my husband, who was trying | to support me and my baby. Oh, for Gods sake, won't some one help | mef Her father and friend again grasped her and she was carried | down the stairs and across the street | to the Williams House. She was thereafter taken to the residence of F. H. Coyle, an old friend of the family.
 "The court room was crowded be, fore Mrs. Graham made the attempt to kill Rhodes. Three seconds after It was almost empty. As soon as the the woman's intent was clear. the crowd made a wild rush for the door, Tn manner that attested lilly for Arizona bravery. One man tried to climb through window. and a peace officer led the van guard of the retreating multitude down stairs."

Hunting For Gold.

Tom Mccormick, of this city, and
 William Cooper, of Skull Valley, left Prescott last Monday for the desert lying between the Colorado and the Santa Maria. They go on a gold hunting expedition, without possessing any knowledge of the exact location of the Fl Dorado they seek, and are guided only by one of those often-told tales wherein an Indian figures. For over 20 years the section these gentlemen go to has been reputed to contain a mine of immense wealth, and hardly year has elapsed but what has not seen prospecting outfit venture out, only to return with large stock of despair and no gold. The Mig ger Ben" IS the name of the mine that has mainly led many a pros pector on weary trip to hunt, and IS one of those propositions where the duplicity of the red man has fig ured with more or less success to himself for years in horses and other goods than 1t has benefited the pale face. Mir. Cooper, however, is firm III AAS ORAAAch tAdl III SuCu 0 niuc exists, as is reported, he will find it, and bases his belief on the one fact: For years he has befriended rene gade Chimehuava Indian, who runs through the Santa Maria in various kind acts, and at different intervals in the past few years has been led to believe that for sufficient consid- eration in live stock, he would be | guided to the exact spot where this famed treasure was. Not having | any faith in the varacity of an In l dian, Mir. Cooper has allowed the matter to pass unheeded, until re- gently, when he again visited the Santa Maria. He met his Indian friend, as usual. The latter imme- mediately revived the subject of the Nigger Ben mine, relating an event which he must have been either a witness of, or else he | was familiar with, snd as com ing from no other source than | the tongue of bis own race, at least. The tale related by the. Indian is corroborated by early residents of | Wickenburg, and to-day an occas- ional Hassayamper will repeat it as one of the interesting "reminiscences attached to mining life in the early eos of Arizona. The Indian in- formed MT. Cooper of the finding of the bodies of two dead Frenchmen on the desert, and stated that after leaving the mine, they wandered from their course and perished. The burros were also found further on, with six sacks of gold packed on them, also dead. He was a boy then, but has a distinct recollection of the entire scene and positive know ledge of the location of the mine. It is on this belief that these gentle men have gone, and taking the In- dian also along in the same vehicle which they occupy, they feel enthu- siastic over the drawing of the veil which has hid this mineral mystery for years. The Harqua Hala was known to the Indian long before the white man ever beheld it, as also were the White Hills mines, and why not may another equally as rich bonanza be revealed through the same channel.
