BEHIND rHE BARS.
ssusie" Wilson Arrested for the Murder
 Of Charles Hatehikcn.


 Sheriff Lowry returned on Satur- day evenings Wickenburg stage, having in custody Henry M., alias Susie Wilson who so cruelty mur- dered Charles Hatchiken at Copper Basin last Tuesday morning. The arrest was made at WicKenburg on Friday evening. Wilson told the sheriff that after securing his horse at Skull valley hs rode across the mountains, sleeping out nights until he reached Rourke's ranch, where he had formerly worked, He found the ranch deserted and went in and helped himself to some food as he was very hungry. His horse gave out and the latter part of the trip was made on foot. Wilson stated that he was just going in search of a constable to surrender himself when he was sighted by the sheriff and his deputy, Gale Davis. The officers, however, took very little stock in this assertion and think that he was on the lookout for fresh horse.
 The JouRNAL-MINER man called at the jail this morning and asked Wilson if he had anything to say concerning his bloody deed for pub lication but he turned suddenly on his heel with fierce look on his face and very brusquely answered, No, l have nothing to say, l am much obliged though for that piece you published in your paper" Never having seen the man before and hay ing published only such information as was received from reliable parties the scribe was at 2 loss to know where the obligation was due, When asked if he had secured the services of an attorney yet Wilson answered very curtly "No."
 It is stated that he has unbosomed himself to inmates of the jail to whom he stated that he committed the deed in self-defense, forgetting apparently that his subsequent act in immediately fleeing as rapidly as he could was direct refutal of such a plea. Men who kill others in self defense are not in the habit eltrying to make their escape so persistently as he did, When arrested he was found without any arms and he stated that he had thrown his knife away near the scene of tha murder. He will have his preliminary exam ination on next Thursday, February 18th, before Justice Andrews. He stated to the officers to-day that Wilson is an assumed name and that his true name is George Wilson Hunter.

A Brooklyn Mr.. Ma,ap,op,

There lives not hundred miles from the other end of the bridge a veritable Mrs. Malaprop. She never takes an elevator, but occasionally rides in a ''ventilator. When she goes to the beach she prefers to take her ''conclave" glasses for protection from the suns rays, and she has diff iculty at times when persons tell her too funny stories to preserve the equilibrium of her countenance. A friend of hers recently had .'ty- phoid neuralgia, and her daughter, who attended a wedding last week, wore a very becoming ''coffycur. [" To cap the climax, this same daugh- ter, according to her mother, is en- gagged to a most ''illegible" young man.-Her Point of View in New York Times.

Bee, ver,u. Pse,o..

Astonishing records have been mads by carrier pigeons, and all the great European powers have attached . CT rier pigeon service to the war depart ments for the transmission of messages in time of war. But 1t would, at fist thought, require more than ordinary credulity to believe that the hee can b. utilized in the same way. It has lone been known that if a swarm of bem were inclosed in a bag and carried to . distance of, say two or three miles frum the hive, and the bag was opened, ths bees, after circling around for . shore time, would quickly take flight in ths direction of the hive with unezrine certainty. Under ordinary cunditicoA the most active ones would cover tho distance in twenty or twenty five min- utes, trnveling at a mean speed of seven miles an hour.-Pittsbury Dispatch. 1

Cincinnati Messenger Boys Have Lots oi
 Scientific Fun with Rodents.

Cincinnati Messenger Boys Have Lots of Scientific Fun with Rodents-
 Hurry up and say whatch yer
 want; I wanter get back to tn office
 an see der electricution. This was
 the half shouted, half gasped excla-
 nation of tiny messenger boy the
 other morning as he answered the
 ring from a restaurant, where a party
 of sons of Belial were holding forth.
 He was wanted to call a hack, and
 upon receiving his fee dashed out
 into the rain. Followed to the ofiice
 on Vine street fellow night hawk
 intruded upon the company that had
 gathered to witness the solemn event. The long legged night clerk, a stu dent of applied electricity, was the warden of the make believe peniten- tiary where the legal murder was to take place.
 In due time, which was after
 ''Smittie" had returned after steer ing the hackman, the condemned criminals were brought out and the Hive" wires made ready. The doom cd were two in number, and were fine, well fed rats that had been en- snared into an old rusty trap by using a part of the midnight lunch as bait. Taking the two flexible wires that ran from the dozen or moro cells of the battery, the executioner began his work without ceremony.
 The minute the wires touched the cage bell set up an internal ringing. The amateur electrician was not aware thet his wires were short cir crIited, and as he plunged the end of one of them against the nearest squeaking rodent he was somewhat surprised to see the little pest make a savage effort to bite the sharp pointed gad, making no pretense at all toward keeling over and dying. This jabbing was kept up for some moments with the same i'll success. 80 far as tho staying of the rats was concerned.
 At last the warden tumbled. Wet ting the cage, he was careful to see that the wires did not come into con- tact with the same strand on the netting over it. Selecting the big gest of the doomed twain, he quickly i thrust the wire against its sleek coat. i A scream of tiny volume followed and | Sir Rat dropped on it's side. The cur rent was kept on, causing it to shud- | der and twitch convulsively. When | it was removed the first victim was dead. The other, suspecting the deadly nature of the wire, kept to | the opposite corner of the death cell. | The ends of the office scissors applied | from the rear made him leap forward quickly, and before he | could jump back again the life de- stroying wire was upon him Like his ill fatei comrade, he went down in a heap, kicked, twitched and at last lay still.
 The work of the exscutioner being done he started to wrap up his wires, 1 md turning to the group remarked:
 Say. No. 10, trow dem rats into ie barrel and fix de trap again. We might ketch another before day light. "-Cncinna6 Enquirer.

Two Compllmen,. for ,h. Queen.

The compliment paid to our pres ent queen by the sovereign of Zanxi- bar is worth repeating. It is a fine piece of oriental poetry. He said that he mentally ikened her ito that mountain of loadstone mentioned in the Thousand and One Nights, which drew the nails out of the sides of the ships which passed that way. Even so did the hearts of the Englishmen l have hitherto met seem drawn on by magnet to her majesty" A pretty compliment indeed. The fol lowing, however, is still better, if somewhat grotesque in its termina- ton. 1t Is credited to a Siamese em- hassador, who wrote of the queen thus: ''One cannot but be struck with the aspect of the august queen of England, or fail to observe that she must be of pure descent from race of goodly and warlike kings and rulers of the earth, in that her eyes, complexion and, above all, her bear ing, are those of a beautiful and majestic white elephant Standard
