Great Losses on the Cattle Ranges-Hardly

Great Losses on the Cattle Ranges-HardIy
ANY Rain for n Year.
BENSON, Ari., Feb. 25.-The people of
this region are anxiously watching the
weather. The failure Of rain for the
next three weeks will be serious blow
to the cattle interests in Arizona.
The past year has been very dry up to
within the last three weeks. Practically
no rain has fallen for nearly year, and
the losses Of cattle throughout the Ter
ritory are already larger than for seven
years.
Joseph Land, cattle inspector for the
Benson and Pantano districts, estimates
the losses along the San Pedro above
Benson at twelve per cent, and on the
lower San Pedro fifty per cent. up to the
present time.
New grasses have been started by re-
cent showers, and IL the rain falls during
the next three weeks to aid it, all will
be well. If not, the grasses will die and
probably very few COWS and calves on
the ranges will survive the summer.
Steers are harder and will not suffer 40
much.

PERRY WIZ Do cnAlNep.

LYoSs, N. Y, Feb. 25. Oliver Curtis
Perry, the train robber, was yesterday
held for the grand jury in IS, 900 bail A
commercial traveller from Saltwater,
Mimi, says he has recognized in Perry a
vicious prisoner who was In the Still
water Penitentiary two years ago, and
who escoped in woman's clothing.
Perry has been plotting co escape from
the jail. He was seen TO pass paper to
his father through his cell door and the
old man was searched by the jailer.
The paper was found to contain an ac-
curate diagram of the jail and the size
of key wanted, under which was writ
ten: Make wooden key about this size. :"
Mr.. Perry was given to understand that
he can hereafter converse with his son
only in the presence of an armed guard
and at distance from the cell door
Some believe that the man who is pass
ing as Perry's father is not bis parent,
but an accomplice. A satchel belonging
to the desperate was taken from the
father in Syracuse. It was found to con-
tain kit of fine tools, bottle of alcohol
in which was human ear that the rob-
Der alleges that he cut from the head OF
negro in Arizona, and two bars of gold !,
evidently battered jewelry.
Perry will be chained to the floor of
the Jail. The Wayne county authorities
never had prisoner who gave them SO
much uneasiness as this desperate from
the wild West.

An Interesting Case.

WILLIdANTIc, Feb 26.-The case of
the Humane society against Allison
Frink Of Columbia, is on trial here be-
fore Justice A. j. Bowen. February
14th, Frink drove two horses and a
mule to Willimantic for a load of coal.
State Agent Thrall of the Humane
society stopped Frink and ordered him
to shoot the horses. Frink agreed to do
so if he could be allowed to drive them
home. A few days ago Thrall dis
covered that Frink had not killed the
horses and had him arrested. Frink in
the meantime had sent a'statement to
Thrall that the horses had been shot.
It came out in evidence yesterday
afternoon that the horses had been shot
by Dennison Avery, of Columbia,
through the hairy part of the tail, not
mutilating them. Frink sold the horses
the next day. Frink has as witnesses
thirty-five prominent Columbia resi-
dents, who say that he has never mis-
used or..oyerworked his horses.
