ANCIENT ARIZONA.
Houses Built OF shclls In the Huachuca

Houses Built OF eholls In the Huachuca
Mountains.
Phoenix Gazette Arizona is plenti-
fully sprinkled with the ruins OF strange
habitations; most OF them are con-
structed OF concrete or adobe and the
whole mystery about them 10 the identi-
ty Of the people who designed them.
How they could be built is not matter
of conjecture, as the materials are close
at hand. But there 10 one ruin, although
still in q good state OF preservation,
which ia a mystery no matter in what
light it is considered. 1t is in the
Huachuca mountains, Dot far from the
military reservation, in northeasterly
direction. Nothing is known OF it's origin
and the wonderful parts the material of
which it is constructed. 1t is about 200
miles from the ocean, and surrounded
on all sides by hills OF sand and rocks
covered with cact. There ia no water
for miles except the excuses for rivers
that run during the rainy season. There
is not even the suggestion of water, and
yet the houses are built OF sea shells laid
in o sort OF cement. Where the. shells
we're obtained 10 a mystery that may
nevsr be solved. 1t does not seem pos
sible that the builder OF the house would
carry the material over hundreds of
miles of desert when there were plenty
OF rocks near by that answer the pur.
purpose just as well, even though they
were not so unique.

He rode to the reviewing ground, ac-
companied by his staff and a guard oil

for the reception OF the emperor IN the

Of these demonstrations of loyalty there
was an exhibition of disloyalty made
during the early part OF the day. Ac-
cording to report, during the night a
1 number OF placards printed in French

along the route of the parade. These
''placards, 1t is said, referred in most in
sulting terms to the visit Of the crown
prince OF Italy to Strasburg in company

these plscards and are making vigorous

Those Big Loads.

Chino Champion: A very lively RI
valry has been going on the past couple
OF weeks between Steve Tebo and W. L.
Bevsns as to which could haul the larger
load OF beets from the field to the fac
tory. Tebo was ahead until last Satur-
day, when Bevans beat him few
pounds. Yesterday morning Bevans
again brought in the largest load, weigh
ing $3.50 pounds. But he didn't hold
the banner long, for in the afternoon
Tebo brought in load weighing 100
pounds, or over seven and half tons.
These loads were put on and hauled
through the soft ground of the fields,
and show draft horses and driving that

scrape that occurred near his place last

men driving his cattle away and were
about mile from the house.
He took after them with bis rifle and
when he got near he be began shooting
at them. They returned the fire with
six-shooters and jeered Mcdonnell for
his wild shooting. So he took cooler
aim and shot and then saw one OF the
men clasp his hand on his thigh as If
shot there. Then they left the cattle
and rode away. Later man bleeding

FRANCE AND SIAM.
Complications OF . Serious Nature Again

: Complications of . Serious Nature Again
Arisen.
PARIS, Sept. 9.-The story OF fresh
complications between France and
Siam, cabled exclusively to the Asso-
ciated Press yesterday, is fully confirmed
today by the utterances OF the French
press. There is no doubt that France is
fretting under the sneering comm ents OF
foreign newspapers upon her alleged
back down before England's finn atti-
tude. There is still less doubt that the
French government is determined that
the foreign press shall not easily have
another chance to hold up the republic
10 ritlicule. Much irritation is felt
against England from the fact that che
has admitted that she is supporting, il
not ad vsing, Siam in the dilatory atti-
tude the latter country has assumed in
the treatment OF the concessions made
to the French. In consequence the
French newspapers are spurring the
government to make determined effort
TO teach England not to interfere with
the colonial policies OF France.
Not only has Earl Dufferin postponed
his proposed vacation in Switzerland,
but it is added that dispatches of a most
important nature were exchanged yes
terday between the British foreign Office
and the British embassy In Paris,
As having bearing on the Franco
Siamese complications, Figaro makes a
most important announcement, to the
effect that Germany having been in
formed that the visit Of a Russian
squadron to Toulon will result in the
establishment Of coaling station for
Russia on the French coast, has OBJ
tanned as q counterblast the cession by
Italy of small island in the
Mediterranean which is to be fortified,
coaled and used as q rendezvous, SINH
lar to the use by Great Britain OF the
island of Malta, and that, when done,
Germany will maintain. a permanent
squadron in the Mediterranean. This
action, it is said, was taken after both
Italy and Germany had consulted with
England. The exact position OF the
leland is not divuIged. but it is said to
be admirably suitable for the purpose
and within easy steaming distance Of
the Dardanelles and near the Susz
canal.

Many, many years ago. says the legend,
the brave Dakotas left their first home In
the far north and moved southwark driv-
ing all other Indians before them. The
Cpsaroka (Crows) withstood them long and
brayely and the decisive battle was fought
on the banks Of the Cannonhau rives--a
clear and sparkling affiuent OF the Mis-

the Sioux and decided that they should 20

the heavens and sent . shower OF these
balls which slew many Of the Sioux (Dar

uonball remained thereafter the boundary
OF the two tribes. The Sioux, like most Of
the now dominant tribes Of the high
plains, did come from the far north-the
Athabasca basin probably--but these balls
are natural formations worn smooth and
round by roiiingin the running water and
ice OF the Immediately post-giacial period.
Many have been taken to ornament the
