DEEP LAID SCHEME !
A Case Which Produces Some
Peculiar Points.
TO IMPRISONMENT
After Serving = Sentence In the County
Jail Man Discovers That His Theft
Was Really - Part of False Friends
Scheme

A few days ago the HERALD made brief
mention Of the arrest in town Of one
Michael Yurkskus on a charge of rape
preferred by Mrs Savage, a Polish woman
of Mahanoy City, and the fact that the
court fixed bail in the case at the sum Of
81, 900 Being unable to furnish the se-
curity Yurkskus has since been in Jail
If the details of the story which has
since been briefly told by the husband of
the prosecutriX are given on the trial of
the case it will prove a very interesting
one. 1t sounds much like the cheap
novel stories.
Savage says that some time ago Yurks-
kus told him where good hammer could
be stolen from a place In le mines, and
also pointed out a good place in which to
hide it. Savage yielded to the tempta-
tiOn, was arrested and served two months
in Jail for the theft
After getting out of Jail Savage learned
that during his Imprisonment Yurkskus
had tried to supplaut him in the affections
of Mrs Savage, in fact had been intimate
with her.
But more than this, Savage found out
| that his arrest and imprisonment was
only a scheme by Gurkskus to get the
husband out of the way, 50 that he would
have n clear road to the object of his af
| fections; and that Nurkskus was the man
who had told the Coal and Iron police
who stole the hammer and where it could
| be found.
OF course Savage became real savage
| and after discussing the case for sometime
and talking over the relations Of his wife
| with Nurkskus IL was decided to have the
wife will be chief witness against the
| accused

Superintendent of Public instruction
Schaeffer on Thursday sent notices to the
superintendents of schools in the yari-
GUS counties that the appointment of
teachers by boards of directors in April
and May for the next annual school term
is illegal, and that he will insist upon a
compliance with the law requiring con
tinuous annual terms in every school dis
trict of the state without change of teach
ers, except appointments to vacancies
where these occur. He holds that the
boards of directors, as now constituted
have no authority to levy taxes and EN-
ploy teachers for the next year. as their
duties in such matters are limited to the
current school year, ending on the first
of June, 1894.

ALLEN WINS.
The Grand Jury Ignores the Psrjury
Charge-COsts on Loaoh.


The Grand Jury at Pottsville, yesterday,
ignored the charge Of perjury made
against County Commissioner Charles f..
Allen by Samuel A. Losch, secretary Of
the Republican Executive Committee, and
put the costs on the prosecutor.
The charge was based on the allegation
that Allen had sworn falsely when he
took his oath Of Office as County Commis-
sioner last January because he had made
promises before his election to help him
secure votes Sixteen witnesses appeared
before the Grand Jury, among them j. 5.
Honsberger, George Helfner, Charles
Hause and Theodore c. Helner
Mr.. Allen had been previously indicted
for bribery and motion TO quash the
indictment has been argued. The decision
OF the court on that motion is being
awaited.
The Pottsville papers say that the
action OF the Grand Jury in the perjury
case will not dishearten the people who
are fighting Commissioner Allen and that
quo warranto proceedings to GUST him
from office are in course of preparation.

THEY LOST THEIR WAY.

Disappointing Adventure of Mr..
Cole and a Companion.
L. Degas, a cattleman living this side
of Prescott was in Phoenix yesterday
and had with him the latest informa-
ton concerning Messrs. P. j. Cole and
r. E. Daggs, who left for the north
more than a week ago.
Last Friday night they arrived at
Mr.. Degas' house which lies fifteen
miles to the right of the road to Pres
cott They were lost and saturated
with rain. mud and curiosity. "Where
does this road go to?" inquired the
jolly territorial treasurer when the cat
tleman answered their summons. SIT
don't go anywhere" replied Mr.. Degas
''it stops right here; you've reached the
end of it and have seen all that's worth
seeing along the route"
They staid at the ranch all night and
set out the next morning according to
more specific directions. Their disap-
pointment at having missed their way
was mitigated by a triumph over a
rattle snake whose rattlers were in the
possession of Mr. Cole and were marked

curing, but that has been removed by
the establishment of extensive cold
storages. Alfalfa fed pork was also
found to lack the solidity necessary to
insure good packing house products,
but the low price of grain enables it to
be converted into pork at greater pro-
fit than can be obtained in any other
manner. Notwithstanding the object
ton which has been proved to be
wholly imaginary, to mesquite wood for
curing purposes, it is said that no wood
can be superior to green mesquite both
as to the color it gives the meat but also
as to the flavor it imparts.
The prices at which smoked meats,
all brought from Kansas City, are sold
in Phoenix assure the success of the
venture. The early completion OF the
north and south road will open up an
additional field IN which Chicago, Oma-
ha and Kansas City cannot compete.

TWICE HELD.
Griffin Bound Over on Another
Charge.
All Other Complaints Against Him
Are Dismissed for Want
of Evidence.

John ]. Griffin knows now just what
he has to contend with. The prelimin-
airy examination in the last of the COM
plants against him, that of committing
a burglary at ]. J. Casey's house and
stealing silver watch, was concluded
before Justice tombstone. Griffin was
held to the grand jury IN the sum Of
$500. This with the bond required in
the case of the charge of burglarizing
Tribolet's meat market makes his obi
cations to the county jail $3.50. He
made an unsuccessful effort yesterday
to secure bail but thinks he will be
able yet to do SO.
The defense IN the case heard yester-
day was curious. The stolen watch was
found in his possession. This was
not very strenuously denied but
the prisoner tried to show that he was
not at Casey's ranch on Sunday night.
He was not seen there and but for tes-
timonv introduced by himself the ter
ritory would have had to rest entirely
on the circumstance that the watch
was found upon him. The landladv at
the ellison house where he lodged tes-
titled that his bed was undisturbed
that night and the evidence of two
other witnesses subpoenaed by him
was equally damaging.
The complaint of Selim Michaelson,
charging Griffin with stealing gold
watch from him, was dismissed. The
watch was never found and though the
complainant was morally certain that
it was taken by Griffin there was no
legal proof.

TWO SETS OF FIGURES.
An Unusual LivelIness in Northern
Arizona.

An Unusual Livellness in Northern
Arizona.
]. H. Zeigenfuss, who recently re-
turned from the northern part of the
territory, taking in the towns of Will
Jams, Prescott and Flagstaff, says that
activity in mining and other industries
in the north has restored the liveli-
ness of pioneer days, also pioneer
prices. Mines in the country about
Prescott sell with an ease and abandon
which would startle the more conserva-
tive claim owner in the districts lying
adjacent to Phoenix. A well defined
artificial depression in the ground is
reckoned a shaft up there and the
character of leads, Iodes, dips, spurs,
etc.. is gathered from the joint imagi-
nation of the buyer and seller. This
way of doing Business has put great
deal of money in circulation, so that
whether or not the claims are what
they are supposed to be is, after all,
secondary matter.
Fruit is selling at Is cents pound
and most of it is brought across the
country from the orchards and vine
yards OF Mesa $50 miles away. Hay
WHICH Sells mere at 90 ION readily
brings $35 there. All other articles of
food and forage bring correspondingly
boom prices.
The Salt Riyes valley is likely to de-
rive great deal of benefit from this.
difference in the price of hay. For IN
stance a Denver man who recently
bought group of rich claims forty-fve
miles from Prescott and sixty from
Phoenix will purchase all his supplies
here. Therefore there will likely be
heavier mining trade from Phoenix than
ever before. The only signs of depres-
sion observed are sheriff's notices OF
sales of sheep, posted in all conspicuous
places in and about Flagstaff. But the
failing wool industry is being rapidly
offset by growing activity in stone
and lumber. which will be more endur-
ing and less fuctuating. But even the
sheepmen do not despair. It's long
series of disaster which has no end and
a destructive Democratic policy can't
stand forever
