GLARISSE ON THEWARPATH.
She Shoots Nine Times But Never
 Hits A Man.
Prof. Hermrod Dodges Just in Time to Escape Being Located as
 Lead Mine.
Mineral Wealth.

Clarisse Lovejoy is comedy lady who has natural infatuatlon for climated gentleman by the numerous name of Smith, Chas. Smith. From all accounts her affection is recipro ated. The link that blinds these loving souls was rude ly disturbed Wednesday evening when the weaker part of the household (made stronger by the addition of two big pistols) started in to separate herself from her lover by blowing his frame with bullets. The said Chas. Smith, not caring to pose as a dying lover," arose in his swlftness and poured into the ears of Deputy Sheriff Cohenour, ac- cOmpanied by Prof. Hiemrod as dep- uty, advanced to the building occupied by the scorned woman and proceeded to soothe her in the name of the law. The terrors Of the law had no effect on poor Clarisse as the tidal wave or spirits she had swalloS ed had overflowed and washed away her reason. Two pistols being part of the furniture in the Smith Lovej y househood, 1t was nothing more than natural that the excited wo- man should draw them and bang away at something or nothing, it mattered little to her. Heimrod being & man of peace, cane in for large share of the
 bullets, and the way he dodged this
 way ard the other, was the revelation
 to those who had judged his swift hot day. Thanks to poor sighted barre
 and the unsteady eye of the shootest nc one was struck by the shower of lead
 and Clarisse, now that she is sober, can
 thank her lucky stars that such is the | case. It was necessary for, Deputy ! Cohenour to tenderly stroke her with
 the silent part of hIs pistol before she | would consent to even recognize the l majesty of the law. As the gun came 1T contact with her head it exploded, and
 it was thought for a moment that tht poor girl had sccidentlly paid a life's | penalty for her outbreak. No one feell
 like bounding Miss. Lovejoy into months of confinement forone baC
 break in many months and we hope tt
 see her soon restored to the full privil | eGe of free American citizen w,
 thank you. Miss. Clarisse for bringinl

O. H. Akers, J. M. Atkin and H. D Derwin arrived from Prescott by bicy- cle Sunday m rHing, to attend the ses sion of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. Then coming had been made known to the Valley Cycle club, which had arranged for a run out to the canal to meet the incoming wheelman. But the visitors developed sporting ability not looked for, and by an early start from New River reached Phoenix at 8:30 in the morning, before the club started. The Prescottires are speedy wheelmen, as was proved by the fact that for the en- tire distance of no miles from Pres colt, including much bad road, the en. tire cycling time consumed was only + hours. The thirty five mile from New River station was covered in three hours.

 Peraltareavis.
What it Cost a. Citizen to Learn The Truth About The Alleged
 Grant.

These is man in Arizona with full- grown grievance against a San Fran cisco newspaper. Incidestslly his pliant brings out in a very direct way the truth about the mythical Persltareiavis grant, which has long been the cause of annoyance to the Territory and ol | personal loss to citizens and strangers The man is Charles Moves of Fair bank, 4. T. He is Democrat. Some | time ago the San Francesca newspaper | which has been his rock oi faith printed | long article about the "Barony" oi Arizona as the Peraltareavis grant IS called by the people interested m It stating that the Court of Private Land | Claims sitting ID Santa Fe, N. M., had | cor tirmed the title of J. A. Peraltarea- wis the the alleged grant, and had dehn' | ed its boundaries. MT. Moves believed this statement and backed up his belief with coin.
 Three of his friends, Republicans, laugh ed at bim, and he promptly bet five. bat with of them. Then he wrote to 1 the editor of the newspaper. The reply was berf. l. said:
 "I Icommunlcsted with Santa Fe. N. M. and am informed by our correspondent there that the Court of Private Claims has fixed the boundaries of the Peral- tareavis claim. Possibly it would be we'll for you to seek information in Santa Fe before settling anysmore bets no the subject.
 Mr. Moves took this advice, and wrote to the United States Attorney for the court in ques ion at Santa Fe, incloslnR the editors letter. The reply, dated April 9 was as follow.
 My DEAR SIR: am in receipt Of your letter purposing to be from San Fran cisco newspaper, in reference to the status of the Peraltsreavis claim, which has teen referred 10 me by you. Re- plying to your inquiry, endorsed there ou, 1 tate that the court of private land claims has not fixed the boundaries of this claim, BOT has it fixed it's status in any way. It has taken no action ex- cept to grant the plaintiffs in the case cave to amend their petition by inter- iineation and instruction to the clerk t1 make interlineations on the copy fled ia his office"
 The court of private land claims is
  the validity of the grant, nor to fix the boundaries until the case is presented for trial, aud I am prohibited by law from confessing judgment either as to the validity of the grant or extent of it's boundaries.
 H wing charge of this case on behalf of the United States, think I under stand the status of it, so far as this court is concerned, quite as we'll as the reporter of the paper in question. l hope this answer will suffice for your inquiry. I herewith return your letter referred to me. Yours very truly,
 MATT G. REYNOLDS, U. s. Attorney.
 For Ariz mas sake Mir. Moves is not sorry that the PeraltareavIs grant has not Ueen confirmed ncr its boundaries fixed, but he would like to know about those three hats for which he has to pay 5 each. The Chronicle has al- ready printed in Its Washington dis patches information as to the status of the Peraltareavis claim, to the same effect as that given in the foregoing letter by the United States attorney at Sopta Ea

Not a Pstrif1ed "Toad.StooI.' .''
TgCsoN. Arizona, May II, 1S9.

TUCSON, Arizona, May II, 1851. EDIToa CITIZEN:
 DEAR SIR:-The specie o' fungus noted in recent issue of the Star and described as a petrifed toad stool" was recently put into my hands for identification. The specimen is not petritied nor in any way unchanged from it's natural condition. It is one of the so- call d "toad-stools" belonging to the genus Polyporus. This genus is not nearly as common as the softer forms allied to the mushrooms. By carefully examining the under surface, you will find it filled with minute holes. through which the spores escape at maturity. These plants most usu ally grow on the sides of decayed trees in moist places. They are always hard and are sometimes used by artists to etch upon. Very truly,

MAMMOTH. May 12. 1894.

MAMMOTH, May 12, 1894. | EDITOR CITIzEN:-Up to few months ago life in this region was SO uneventful that any attempt at correspondence with a newspaper has been very discourage ing.
 But times have changed; quiet and inertia have retired; and enterprise and industry are taking their place. There is no longer any occasional communics- ton between us mountainers and the great metropolis of Arizona, but daily brisk going to and from. Huge freight l wagons are now strung along the once dreary desert roads from Tucson to this place. The lively soprano of the San Pedro has full band bass accompspi- ment Tn the roar of the huge Mammoth | fifty stamp mill.
 All this has been the work of a few months past and to what extent of development we shall have arrivsd d at a year hence, when, as surely as the sun shall rise and set, rich gold-bearing ledges now wholly as partially hidden sh all be uncovered and developed, is a matter of couj jacture that cannot we'll be exaggerated. Up to few months ago only the old timers had heard of the Collins group; nov both your entire population and the strangers within your gates n ust be hearing of us every day.
 There are but twenty men at work on the mines and the daily output is 15O tons of ore per day. 1 would advice parties looking for work not to come here as the above number of men are able to keep the mill going for many months to come.
 The mines and mill are successfully managed. by Messrs Collins and Barn. hart, and the future of the camp could not rest in better hands.
 The boarding house is run by Thomas Baker, and I must say the service cant be beat in the county.
 Wm. Neal has the contract for haul ing the ore. He has three eighteen mule teams and thrte to four wagons to the team; making two trips per day to the team.
 The mil shut down a few days this week owing to breakage of the engine but dropped her stamps again this morning.

No ore is being sh pped from the district and iD not oue of so the called mines is any systematic work being done. It is boom that will be worked as long as there is dollar to be made out of it. MT.

Senator Teller on the Coxey Move.

PUEBLO, May 15.-Senator Teller, in a letter to a citizen of this city sx. presses sympathy for the Coxey army now in Washington, declares the arrest and trial of Coxey, Browne and Jones was farce and concludes as follows:
 "It is difficult to know what to do with these people who are here in dis tress, with thousands of others, through DO fault of theirs. They know that there is something wrong some where. and that there ought to be c remedy and can think of DO other ex- cept what congress can give. I myself believe the present dreadful condition of our lsboring and producing people is the direct and immediate result of bad legislation already on our statute books and other that is threatened. l have no hope of immediate legislation that will give the required relief. What will happen in the near future I cannot see, and belive. for ny peace of mind, it is we'll cannot.

Some Phoenix Ladies Who Know
 Every Cut i'm the Critter.

A good looking young fellow was cut ting steaks yesterday afternoon in one of the leading butcher chops when a Republican man noticed that while they resembled closely good slrloin steaks there was something suspicious about them.
 "What kind of steak is that?" he asked.
 "Oh that is shoulder steak or chuck steak, the cheapest kind of steak. We sell it mostly to Mexicsus."
 The inquirer being one of the restless and migratory army of restaurant and boarding house patrons thinking this was good opportunity to gain a little inside information regarding the nature of the vlands which are daily set before him, remarked casually: "I suppose you sell good deal of II to the restaurants"
 No, sir; the restaurants buy whole rounds and Joins and cut them up them selves. We cell few of these to the lunch counters, where they have class of trade that isn't very particular"
 Don't ths lunch counters buy any gcod meat"
 "They buy some of the very best You sec m the lunch counters its just the same as it IS wi.h us; they size uE the customer.

LEXINGTON, Ky, May 15.-The best people of Lexington and Faystte coun. ty, including several hundred ladies', turned out today to the anti-Brecken- ridge meeting at the opera house. The meeting from @ standpoint of morality was tremendous success. The opera house was filled and 500 people turned away. Prof. J. W. McGarvey, an en- inent minister of the Christian church, was the first speaker and he showed Colonel Breckenridge up in no fsvora- ole light. He held that it would be e disgrace to the district, the state and the country to return such a man to congress and closed his speech by Q strong appeal to the young men to vote against him.
 CHICAGO, May 15.-The board of managers of the Union League club this afternoon voted to expel Congress- man Breckenridge from the roll of honorary membership. Not @ single member of the executive board voted in the negative. If the absence from the city of President Wilson Judge Keleoat presided.
 The other speaker was Judge M. J. Durham, who denied Colonel Brecken- ridge was the only man in the district who can represent it in congress. The speeches were both we'll received and made good impression.
 Resolutions were adopted denounc- ing Breeksnridge's morals and calling on the good people of the district to rise up and vote against the silver tong ued persuader.
 But when Harry O. Clay got up ond offered resolution not only denounc- ing Breckenridge's morals, but asking that Senator J. $. Blackburn be asked to obtain leave of absence from the senate and that he come home and from the rostrum speak against Breck- inridge, the audience vent wild. The cheering was deafening and it was plain to any observer that the Brecken- ridge boom started by the silver tongued himself little more that @ week ago, was badly strained, if not broken.
