GATHERING HOOPS.

In some ways the Prescott races did not quite stack up to Phoenix ideas, yet very considerable number of the purses fell into the hands of our horsemen. Ben Bolt, our especial flyer, failed to take first money in the 2:20 trot Saturday, but dropped under the wire at the head of the procession in all the other events in which he went. King Pin showed up well, bet ter even than was expected. But Mark Daly, the great western runner, showed the handicap of his eighteen years and failed to find place in the main event for which he was entered. He is now probably off the turf for ever.
 The next race meet will be at the Blood Horse Association track, south of Phoenix, and to it will be invited all the fast stock of the west. As there is no better place on earth than Phoe- nix in which to winter horses, the in- vitation will probably be accepted by many.
 George Becker's wonderful Swear old, Zambro, is still showing in Califor- nia what Arizona alfalfa can produce. Last Friday at Los Angeles, driven by Durfee, he took three straight heats in the 2:27 class for $500 purse. The colts time was 2:15, 2:14% and 2:16% About the only trouble with the colt now is that he comes too high in the pools,

TORTURED BY THE SIOUX.
A Scout Tells How He Was Initiated Into
 Sitting Bulls Tribe.

Frank Grouard, the Indian scout, was captured, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat, by Sitting Bull and small band of followers when nineteen years old, and remained with the Indians during the next six years, a greater portion of the time in the camp of Sit ting Bull, through whose influence he was saved from torture and death. ''From the time of my capture and up to 1872, he said, T was not required to undergo any of the self-inficted tor lures of the Sioux, but after 1 became one of them, to all intents and pur- poses, knew what to expect. While we were camped where Glendive, Mont, now stands the whole tribe gathered one day about and I was in formed that l was to be put to the test.

No Neck, Gall, Four Horns, Little Assiniboine and other head men of the tribe sat near me smoking their pipes Four warriors squatted on each side of me, and with needles raised up the flesh between the shoulder and elbow on each arm and cut out pieces the size of a pea, taking four hundred and eighty pieces out of each arm. The skin and flesh were taken off in five rows on each arm. It was not painful at first, but before they were through there was a stream of agony pouring from my arms to my heart that was almost unbearable. I did not open my lips or make sound while they were torturing me, although the operation lasted four hours. The next time was tortured all my eyebrows and eyelashes were pulled out. After that l went through the tortures as stoicaly as the Indians themselves, even including the tor lures of the sun dance, where horsehair ropes were tied in the muscles of the breast and back and torn out by sheer force"

Further Particulars OF the Discovery
Made at Lick Observatory.
San Jose, Cal, Nov. 20.-The fol-
lowing was received this afternoon
from Mount Hamilton:
"The comet observed at Lick obser-
vatory by G. D. Perrine, yesterday
morning, was again observed by him
this morning. 1t has grown much
brighter. The head is about five min
utes of an arc in diameter, and the tail
half a degree long. At O'Clock this
morning the comet was in the right as
cension, 13 hours AZ minutes. and
north declension 1 degree 10 minutes.
It was moving eastward at the rate of
40 minutes per day, and southwark "a
minutes.
The spectrum of Perrine's comet has
been observed here both physically and
photographically by Professor Camp
bell. He finds spectrum of usual
type. There is continuous spectrum,
indicating reflected sunlight, and there
are numerous bright bands and lines
occupying such positions that they
prove the presence of incandescent car
bon and nitrogen in the coma and tail.
The comet was also photographed this
morning by Professor Hussey and Mr..
Cotton. As soon as two more observa
tions have been secured the elements OF
the comets orbit will be computed at
Lick observatory.

Released From Jail.

Walla Walla, Wash, Nov. 90
Eremino Genino, an Italian, was under
life sentence in the penitentiary here
for murder committed in Stamina
county fourteen years ago. The i'm
preston long prevailed that Genino
was innocent, the victim of perjured
testimony. At the time of his trial
he had been in America but short
time, and was unable to speak or uD-
derstand the English language, and
was at disadvantage in defending
himself. Several years ago friends be-
gan endeavoring to secure his pardon,
and at the last session of the Knights
of Pythias grand lodge, held in Walla
Walla, May, 1895, petitions were pre-
pared, circulated and signed, asking
the governor to pardon him. The par
don was received by the warden Satur'
day and Genino was released on Sun
day. He had served thirteen years ano
three months.

without the Usual Rush.

Lewiston, Idaho, Nov. 20.-At noon
today over 800 settlers and miners,
who have long waited an opportunity
to take the broad prairies and the
promising mineral land on the Nez
Perce reservation, put up their stakes,
posted their notices, and many began
an exodus to the nearest land Office to
register their claims. There was nc
rush to the interior. The journey to
the desired locations had been made
days before, without sign of legal as
sistance, and the man who rode fol
miles to see a mad rush from the
boundaries of the reserve, with the fir.
ing of cannon and firearms, the shouts
and execrations of those who were
ahead and behind in the race for the
coveted goals, was disappointed. Never
in recent years has the opening OF
rich reservation to settlement been at
tended with less excitement than thai
of the Nez Perces.
The United States made absolutely
no provision to keep white men off be
fore the time indicated by the procla
nation, and there was unlimited op
portunity for those acquainted with tn
land to camp on the choice tracts unit
the noon hour and then rush back t.
enter their chosen quarter section.

SAYS HE SAW PITEzEL
Sensational Story Published
in a Chicago Paper.
SURE THERE WAS NO MISTAKE
James McNary, a Street Railway Con-
ductOr, Claims That He Talked
With Him But Recently.

Chicago, Nov. 2O.-The Daily News
this evening publishes the following
story:
James McNary, a conductor on car
No. 635, of the Sixty-third street line,
has sprung a new sensation in the
Holmes case, by stating that Benjamin
F. Pitezel is alive, and that he recent
ly talked with him on his car. Nc
Nary claims there could be no mistake,
for he worked nine months for Pitezel
and knows the peculiarities of his
voice. According to McNary, Pitezel
boarded his car few days previous to
Holmes trial. Pitezel's beard had
grown around the greater part of his
face, so that he was completely dis
guised. When addressed, however,
he admitted his identity and asked as
friend that McNary keep silent, for
he was on his way to Philadelphia; but
McNary called in Motorman LettermaD
and he, too, claims that he had con-
versation with Pitezel, who took a
transfer to the Cottage Grove cable
line.
Robert Corbett, who has been fol
lowing the case for months in behalf
of the Farmers & Merchants National
bank, Fort Worth, claims he has also
seen Pitezel. He said to Daily News
reporter:
"I never believed Pitezel was dead,
for the following reasons: First, when
was searching the castle, some
months ago, this man, who resembles
the one seen by the conductor and mo-
torman, and who, then thought was
Pitezel, found me in the building look
ing over some papers. He asked me il
had seen a toolchest. I told him
there was one in the front room. He
said that one was not his; that he hae
left it in the room where I was engaged
I asked him who he was. He sait
Mrs. Pitezel sent him there for tool

A Sunday Closing Question.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 20.-Judge
Parker today handed down decision
in the case of the city against Henry
Krech, charged with violating the Sun
day law by working at his trade as a
barber on Sunday. The question raised
by demurrer was whether or not the
city possessed the power to pass such
an ordinance, especially in view of the
fact that it is provided in the penal
code of the state that certain places OF
business shall not be opened Sundays,
which the supreme court has construed,
in the case of the State VS.. Krech. IL

Parker holds that, the legislature being
silent as to barber shops, cities OF tht

preservation of public morality.

1t Is Now Said the Unfortunate Woman
Was Cremated Alive.
Milwaukee, Nov. 10. - Rudolph
Nunnemacher, now visiting in Corea,
writes to the Milwaukee Sentinel, Civ
ing an account of tho murder of the
queen in October. He says the Japan
ere were the instigators of the outrage,
and that body of Japanese soshi COM
mitted the murder and that they were
backed by Japanese troops. When
they had gained entrance to the queen e
apartments, they found four women,
and being unable to recognize the
queen, who had disguised herself, they
killed all four. The bodies, after hav-
ing been slashed and stabbed, were
tied in blankets, carried to the court
yard, saturated with oil, and burned.
It is reported the queen was cremated
alive, not having been dispatched dur
ing the slaughter.
The japanese government has started
an inquiry, and many arrests have
been made.
An American general, who has beer
acting as vice minister of war FOL
Corea, is said to have been an eye-wit
ness of the outrage. He was in com
mand of the guard, and made heroic
resistance to the assassins. He came
near being killed, several bullets pass
ing close to him. Had he lost his life
the writer says, the japanese govern
ment might have found itself in seri
ous complications with the Unite'

An Extended Interview With Senator
Thurston, of Nebraska.
Omaha, Nov. 19.-Local railway
circles we're given new insight into
the various plans of a proposed reor-
ganization of the Union Pacific today.
The matter came in the form Of an au-
thorized statement from Senator Thurs
ton through Colonel James B. Haynes.
Senator Thurston left this evening for
Washington. In an interview he said:
''My resignation as general solicitor
of the Union Pacific has been forward
ed to Judge Dillon in New York, and
will no doubt be presented to the re-
ceivers in about week. l have re-
signed, not because of any real or ap-
parent impropriety in acting as attor-
ney for the receivers, but simply be-
cause the duties of that position re-
quire the whole time and attention of
the man who holds it.
'sI have little idea what the prospect
is for successful reorganization of the
Pacific roads under the plan proposed
by the present committee. have an
idea for the readjustment of the gov
ernment matter and reorganization OF
the Pacific properties, but not accord
ing to their method of reaching the re-
suit. I believe it would be great
thing for the country at large to have

lines operated together as one property.

WILL NOT INTERFERE.
The United States will Take No Part in
Disrurting the Turkish Government.

The United STATES Will Aakc NO arS IN
Disrurting the Turkish Government.
Washington, Nov. 20.-The Turkish
situation is absorbing the attention of
the state department at present, and
due notice is taken of the various reso-
lutions adopted by the many religious
organizations in the United States.
Considering the terribly disturbed
conditions in Armenia, it is believed at
the state department. that Minister Ter
rell has been remarkably successful in
his efforts to protect the American mis-
sionaries and teachers. So far as the
misfortunes of the native Christians
are concerned, while they may properly
excite the sympathy of the entire Chris
tian world, the state department. claims
there is no warrant for interference on
the part of the United States, the Ar
menians being Turkish subjects, for
whose religious freedom the European
powers are responsible. ANY interpo-
sition by the United States would not
only be in violation of our traditions,
but might be used, it is said, as a pow
erful argument to justify European in
reference in the affairs of the Ameri
can republics.
In reference to the rumors that Mr.
Terrell has rendered his resignation, il
may be stated that the department OF
state is thoroughly satisfied with his
conduct in every particular; that il
has lent all possible support to him,
and that no reason is known which
would justify the assumption that he
intends to desert his post in the recent
crisis.
Admiral Selfridge cabled to the navy
department today that he had put II
with his flagship San Francisco te
Naples to get mail. He will proceed
directly to Alexandretta. where hi
should arrive about Friday next, ant
will then be in position to extend ai6

rising.
