TUCSON, Ari,, Sept. A-The action of
the War Department in ordering the re-
moval OF troops from San Carlos Reser-
walton is not liked by the people OF Ari-
IONA. Mass-meetings were held last
week at Tombstone. Tucson and other
places for the purpose OF protesting
against the action. Resolutions were
adopted and telegraphed 70 the Secretary
OF War protesting against the removal OF
the San Carlos troops and pointing out
the result said TO be sure TO follow. There
are about $500 Indians on the reserva-
ton. The two nearest military posts are
each more than nifty miles distant from
san Carlos.
Outbreaks in Arizona have frequently
occurred as the result OF the drunken
quarrels among the Indians themselves,
and troops at San Car.os are considered
absolutely necessary for police duty in
the breaking up of the Indian liquor
camps. The Indians have no means of
making a living except by cutting hay
and wood. with which to supply the
troops, and raising barley and corn for
the same purpose, and the presence of
troops alone has kept the reds at San
Carlos from going on the warpath on
several occasions since the removal OF
the murderous Geronimo and his sol
lowers.

Upon His Life.

erage to BE Analysed.

and Maple streets. Moore was night
foreman in the United States Express
Company's stables in Communipaw.
Last night, as usual, his supper was

house. At 1890 o'clock Moore, Joseph
Masset and Edward Hansen, other en-
ployees of the Company, sat down to
eat their lunch. Moore's supper con-
sisted of sandwiches. pie and tea.
After eating some of the sandwiches
Moore took up the pail in which the tea
was and tasted II. He remarked that
1t seemed very bitter and had peculiar
taste. Moore told Masset to taste 1t,
which he did, and said it appeared to
him to be very bitter. Moore, how
ever drank some more of the tea.
About ten minutes afterwards Moore
got up and went into an adjoining
room. He was heard by Masset and
Moore wrthing in commissions, and did
everything they could for him, but he

early this morning arrested Mrs Hubbs
on the charge of putting the poison into
the tea.

tea.
John Moore, a brother OF the dead
man, lived with Mrs. Hubbs. George
tried to induce his brother to, leave the
house, but he refused. Then George had
a fight with Mrs. Hubbs and this, the
police say, may be the motive for Mrs
Hubbs poisoning George Moore

tectlve McNally at her home. John
Moore. the brother of the dead man, is
also under suspicion. Assistant County
Physician Saltonstall Is expected to

BOLD THUGS AT WORK
Two Men Robbed on a Well
Lighted, Crowded Street.
StransIed by the Highwaymen with
Twisted Silk Handkerchief.
The Victims Left Dazed and Nearly
Choked, While the Thugs Escaped.

The Hoboken police are investigate

years. Up to the present time no one
has explained just how the thing oc.
CURED, so daring was the attempt upon
the lives and the property of the two
men attacked.
Acolde Churer OF 1888 Spring street, and
Lewis Robacco. OF 467 Spring street, two
expert Italians, employed IN the silk mills
as foremen, were walking with their
wives last night through West Hoboken,
and were passing out Maple street when
they dropped behind their wives for q
moment.
Suddenly three men sprang out from
behind tree and quick as lightning
threw what seemed to be a cord around
the necks OF both men. The silk weaverts
were unable to utter a sound, so rapidly
was 1t accomplished. Twisting the cords
tighter and tighter It seemed as though
the victims were choking to death.
Completely dazed and almost suffocated
by the unexpected and unique assaults,
they offered no resistance. while the
three strangers went through their pock-
ets anu roppeu tneH OF al tnelr Valua-
bles. They succeeded in getting about
so. knife, a watch, as web as other
little trinkets from the pockets of Ro-
bacco. The amount secured from Churer
was less. but he also lost a watch and
a knife.
As soon as the thieves had disap-
peared the two men rejoined their
wives. and for the first time IL was
discovered that the cords which were
hangin about their necks were new
silk handkerchiefs OF a plain pattern
The men were slightly injured by blows
received on the back of the head.
The matter was at once reported to
the police. So far the authorities have
no clew. save the handkerchiefs left
by the thieves. From the pattern, as
well as from the mthods employed by
the robbers. 1t is thought that the men
who made the assault are from the
South OF France. or from Italy
The audacity Of the thugs can best
be understood when II is known that
the streets were crowded at the time,
and that II was comparatively well
lighted In the place where the hold-up
occurred. The escape OF the robbers un-
der those circumstances can only be
explained by the fact that because of
the peculiar methods of attack the men
made no outcry.
The robbers seemed to work in per-
feet harmony. Two OF them attended
to the strangling part OF the programme,
while the third ransacked the pockets OF
the men.

gas on full head.
On his bureau were two letters. writ
