Result of the Abandon

Phil Heller of the Simon Cattle
 Company Shot.
The Wounds Near the Heart and Supposed to Be Fatal-A Sur
 geon En Route to Attend Him.

Special to THE REPUBLICAN.
 SAN SIMON, Ariz., Oct. 20.-The re- port of the first act of violence com. mitted by Indians, resulting from the removal of troops from Fort Bowie, was brought here by courier early this morning.
 Phil Hefer, of the San Simon Cattle company, while on his way to round up on Deer creek. in Stein's Peak mountains, some sixty-fve miles from here, was attacked by band of six or eight Apaches, who were lying in am- bush behind rocks.
 A number of shots were fired at him, one taking effect, passing through his left lung, just above the heart. His pack animals, which he was driv- ing before him, were killed.
 The attack was presumably made to get his firearms, ammunition, and con- tents of the pack saddles. Everything tends to show It to be the work of the Kids band. Heller returned the fire, but found himself getting too weak from loss of blood and barely reached the nearest ranch some five milee away where he lies probably in dying con- dition.
 Dr. Wright, the Southern Pacific sur geon at Benson, arrived this afternoon on a special and is being taken by pri. vate conveyance into the mountains to attend the young man.
 Great indignation is being expressed here by cattle men and settlers.

SENATOR TABOR FAILS.
Bad Investments Cause His
 Trouble.
He Asks the Courts to Help Him Srraighten Out His Badly
 Tangled Affairs.
By the Associated Press.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 20.-Ex-Senator H. A. w. Tabor has made an assign ment of all his property for the benefit of his creditors. The assignees are F. E. Edbrook and Peter McCourt. The assignment covers the Tabor grand opera house, the Tabor block on Six. teenth and Laramer streets, his resi- dence, and other valuable real estate, valued at about $1 ,0O0, 900. No sched- ule was filed, so the entire amount of the liabilities cannot be ascertained.
 Ex-Senator Tabor has been fnan- ciallv em barrassed for some time, but he hoped one of his Mexican gold prop critics would make it possible for him to pull through. His expectations, however, were not realized, and he was recently compelled to borrow $200,O00 of Mrs. Laura D. Swickheimer, for which he was compelled to give note for $275, ,000, secured by a mortgage on the opera house.
 Today he applied to the court for a revision oi this transaction, and an ac counting and settlement of her notes, on the grounds that the terms of the contract were greatly in excess of all business rules. Shortly after this ap- plication had been made the assign ment papers were filed.
 Mir. Tabor is one of the most popular and best known mining men in the state. He made his fortune out of the Little Pittsburg and other mines dur ing the great days of Leadville, and at one time was worth in cash about $2,500,0O0. Unfortunate mining and real estate investments are believed to be causes which led to his failure. When Senator Joe Chaffee died Mr. Tabor was appointed to serve out his unexpired term in the United States senate

The Rising Sun of the Mikado

Surrender of the Chinese Army to the Troops of Japs Matter
 Not to be Long Delayed.
By the Associated Press.

By the ASSOclateQ FreSS
 YOKOHAMA, Oct. 20.--A report of a second great naval victory for the Jap anese over the Chinese has been re- ceived. It occurred Septemb Der Is in the northeastern inlet of the Yellow Sea. Twelve Japanese ships and fourteen Chinese ships with six torpedo boats under the Chinese flag, were in the en- gagement. The Japanese heard of the presence of the fleet at the mouth of Yalu river in charge of transports con- veying endorsements to the enemy on the frontier. Between twelve and one o'clock the fight began; both lines maintained the position steadily for one hour when the Chinese showed signs of weakening. Three of their ships were sunk, one after another their crew climbing to the rigging and gig nalling wildly to their companions and assailants. The shipss sunk are the Layen, Chin, Yuen and Cho Yuen.
 As soon as these were disposed of the Japanese directed their fire against the big German built ships at the head ot the Chinese column, but for long time without effect on the heavy steel armor which protected them. At last shell struck the Ting Yuen a little above the water line, and it seemed to the Japanese observers to pierce the armor through and through. She was evidently set on fire and remained burning up to the hour of her hasty de- parture. She inflicted heavy punish ment on the Matshushima, her chief adversary, she being struck by two twelve-inch shells, the first battered out of shape one of her guns and the second exploded in the ammunition box, setting the ship on fire, which was with difficulty extinguished, and deal ing havoc among the crew. The Mat shushima withdrew from the scene and moved toward Taitong. The Saiko, a Japanese merchant steamer unfit for engagement. lost cootrol of her rudder, and turned on two of the large ships to make believe she intended ramming them. With this belief they parted about forty fathoms allowing the Sakio a passage to escape.
 All the Japanese ships were injured but can be repaired, most of them could go into action the next day. The Chinese escaped and though a search was made for them they had reached q place of safety.
 It is announced that the Chinese gov ernment will make efforts to strengthen the fleet of Pechili and vessels of all kinds will be called to unite in protect ing the approaches to Tien Tsin and Pekin.
 A list of the Japanese losses at the battle of Phyong Yang includes eight commissioned officers and 154 non con- missioned officers and privates killed :; twenty-six officers and 421 privates wounded and missing.

 Col. Poston will issue call for the Hassayampers to rally and make final arrangements for the pioneers and fathers of Arizona who are to take part in the coming carnival. Among the thirty Hasssyalnpers who will carry picks and shovels and punch burros up the streets of Phoenix next Thursday there is upward of two million dollars represented. They will be made up in true pioneer style, some riding in OK wagons, others on mules and some mounted on burros. The canteen that has not been layed aside for so long will be one of the requisites this time. Most likely it will contain something stronger than water. Men who have not carried gun since the seventies will shoulder arms. The O. K. boot and overalls will be novelty to many and the old slouch hat ill seem awk- ward, too. in these days.
