A REVELATION.
Governor Hughes Hears From
 Washington.
A Prophet Who Knows More About Heaven Than About
 Arizona.

Governor Hughea had revelation yesterday. It came by mail and pur- ported to be from on high, via Benja- min F. Hunter, who resides variously at Washington and New York.
 MT. Hunter sets himself up as prophet, but his foresight and acquaint- ance with things of heaven are superior to his hindsight and familiarity with things of this world, for he addressed his revelation to the governor at Pres colt.
 The communication is as follows: ''Tell it in Prescott and publish it in the whole territory that there is a prophet among the people with bad and heavy tidings from God to every nation, language and tongue upon the earth" MT. Hunter proceeds with the follow ing intimation that he Is professional l lobbyist: ''I am now mediator be- tween God and mankind" There has | also evidently been change of admin istration, for MT. Hunter continues: :: Mercy no longer dwells upon the earth. He has surrendered unto Justice the milk white horse upon which the proph- ct rides without bridle, knowing neither mother nor father, sister nor brother, relatives nor friends, but carries into execution quickly the will of the living God, and pronounces the eve Tasting | and eternal judgment of an angry God upon all nations and persons alike. Amen. BENJAMAN F. HUNTER"
 MT. Hunters printed stationery is as unique as his communication. His crest is the American eagle. Beneath it is the motto: "The last shall be greater than the first. Solomon honored God little but I will honor him much and destroy the wisdom of the prudent and bring to nothing the understanding of the wise." This is followed by the commandment relating to Sabbath ob- servance and other matters more partic- ularly concerning Mr. Hunter himself
 Another printed sheet contains the names of long list of persons residing at Petersburg, Lynchburg, Sassafras and Wilmington, Va., who have been appointed by MT. Hunter clerks-at- large of the paymasters, inspectors and male and female clerks of something or other.
 It appears that these persons are members of "third house" called the Chamber of Deputies or Directors-at- large. They live ex-officio free of rent at Washington. The authority of the Chamber of Deputies is set forth as fol- lows: 'The fact that these persons constitute a chamber of deputies and directors at large causes me to say that all laws and rules made by them with my signature attached thereto are made after the order of the meades and per sians, which altereth and changeth not"

SHOT IN BED. The Bloody Deed Done By White Caps.

UNCLE SAM'S PET The Government to Pro- tect the Ute Indians. They Are to Be Allowed Their Own Way. May Drive Out and Kill the
 White Settlers. But It Is All Right Because Sentl- mental Fools at Washington
 Say That ItIs.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 DENVER, Dec. 7.-There is @ feeling at the military headquarters in this city that if the governor of Utah in- tends to arm the settlers and cowboys in southeastern Utah to drive out the Ute Indians, who are pasturing their ponies and cattle in the San Juan coun- try, there will be a first class rumpus.
 Military authorities here hold that the Indians have right in that country and it is likely, should trouble arise, that troops will be sent down from Fort Logan to protect the Indians.
 Col. Ward, adjutant general of the de- partment of Colorado, ,said today that the Indians have instructions from Wash ington to occupy the country now being used by them, and settlers and cowboys have no right there whatever. The government will, it is thought, support the Indians in the position they have assumed.

The Jury Room Will Re- ceive the Case Today.
An Absence of Sensa-
 tionaI Features.
A Hint That the Defense Will Rely Mainly On the The
 ory of Self Defense.

Wm. E. Price went on trial for his life yesterday. As he sat beside his at- torneys he gave no sign that the issue of the trial would affect him greatly. A spectator who knew nothing about the prisoners offense would hardly have judged it to be grave one.
 The jury was obtained with much less difficulty than had been predicted. A second venire of fifty names was re- turned when court was called in the morning. By noon the defense had ex- hausted all it's peremptory challenges. The prosecution appe ared to be satis- fled and the jury was impaneled.
 It is composed of R. G. Good win. Boyd Passey, Moses Bullock, J. Moore, R. H. Drane,J J. s. Gilbert, w. A. McDon- aid, A. E. Perkins, H. s. Wallace, J. B. Steven son, Jas. M. Cosby, Ambrose Swinder. With the exception Of sin gle member the jury is. made up from the special venire.
 The taking oi testimony began at 80 and in two hours and half the terri tory announced that it would rest.
 The defense expressed surprise and asked for an adjournment until this morning that it might get it's witnesses together, promising at the same time that it's case would be concluded today. Nothing was developed by the examina- of fro hot had not been brought out at the inquest upon the death of Shurbert.
 The first witness was Ralph W. Hall, who happened to be sitting at the cor her of Wall and Washington streets about 10 80 on the morning of October 8. He heard shot across the street and simultaneously saw a man running across the street toward the office of the Valley Abstract company. He saw a1- other man standing on the sidewalk fire at the fleeing man who stumbled and fell but gathered him. self together to continue his flight. A second shot brought him down and the man with the gun running up to him placed the muzzle of the re- volver within six inches of the half prostrate mans back and fired the fourth shot, Not satisfied with what he had done he pointed the weapon at the head of his victim and pulled the trigger. The man on the ground moved his head at the same instant and the bali passed into the ground. At that instant the bystanders seized and dis armed the murderer. The witness identified the defendant as the man with the gun.
 The next witness was ". D. Hall, who was on the same side Of the street when the firing began. His description of the flight of the victim aud the mur- derer's pursuit was essentially the same as that given by the preceding witness.
 Dr. Stroud testified next as to the character of the wounds. Death, he said had been produced by the one in the back. The ball had entered three inches to the left of the spinal column. passed through it, cut through the

DIR. NANsEN,s POLAR SHIP.
A Marvel of Solidity Being Constructed
for the Use of the Explorer.

A Marvel of Solidity Being Constructed
for the Use of the Explorer.
DR.. Nansen's polar ship has pro-
gressed so far in construction that one
can now form some idea of its general
outline, says the Folkebladet, of Chris
tiania. The slantIng sides strike the
eye at once. Under the supposition
that the vessel will be screwed by the
ice, care has been taken that no pro-
jecting points or fat surfaces exist
The peculiar design is based on the an
ticipation that all ice, when meeting
the vessel, will be forced down under
it, allowing it TO be raised SO much out
of the water For the same reason the
bottom Of the vessel is covered with
hard and smooth -greenheart,
three to six inches thick. Inside, the
vessel is provided with horizontal, YER
teal and diagonal cross beams, fastened
by hundreds of iron and wooden Joints,
giving the impress of great solidity.
The frame is mostly old oak. Besides
the outermost covering of greenheart,
there are two oak skins. The vessel is
provided with steam engine of 102
horse power. 1t is rugged as a three
master schooner and will mainly rely
on its sails when in the ice. Its dimen-
sions are: Keel, 81 meters; greatest
length of deck, so meters; greatest
width Of deck, II meters; height from
keel to deck, 5.25 meters; when loaded,
4.75 meters; displacement 800 tons.
The hull will be extremely heavy on
account Of the heavy material used in
its construction, yet it is estimated that
she will be able to carry 400 tons of coal
and provisions, etc. Besides the small
er boats necessary for reconnoitering,
ETC., two large boats are being built
able to hold the whole crew of twelve
men and provisions for three months.
If the polar currents are running, as
Nansen supposes, it becomes reason
able to expect that his expedition will
meet with success. His vessel is cer-
tainly marvel of solidity.

The Color OF indians.

The color of the Indian race varies
much individually, rs does that of our
own Caucasian race, and it also varies
much with the different tribes. IT is
safe to describe them in general terms
as brown. Some tribes are of a decided
ly light shade of brown, while Others
are SO dark--the California coast tribes
for instance --as to almost suggest the
negro. Numerous individuals have
been noticed by travellers in some In
dian tribes. as the Mandau, Zuni and
others, who are 50 light that the idea
of their descent from European peoples
gained currency. 1t was chiefly this
fact that lent weight to the theory pro-
pounded less than one hundred years
ago that colonies of Welsh had been
planted in the wilds Of America. As
we now know, however, these light
colored Indians are simplyof a natural
light brown, or are albinos. OF the
latter class perhaps those at zuni are
the bcs. known.
