Arizona Blew out the Gas.

Arizona continually gets the credit of being wild, and the home of the rattle snake and etc., but the latest was told during the last ses- sion court in this county by Judge Hawkins. In Los Angeles there is a hotel run by Q burly German. and Arizonians frequently register this place while doing" the town. One night about 12 o'clock the night clerk rushed into the old Germans room and aroused him from sound sleep with the startling intelligence that the house was full of gas. The old Teuton took a sniff of the att mosphere, but could not locate the room from which the escaped gas proceeded, and so he said to the startled clerk, Bring mo dot regis ter ond I found oudt were dot Ari- zona feller yas." The register was brought, the room located and sure enough Arizon. had blown out the gas.-Mineral Wealth.

The Earth Flew Up.

Superintendent of Public Instruc- ton Netherton is at present rusti- eating at Mesa and is not likely to return to Phoenix till a couple of the local surgeons get through with him. He was coursing on his bicy- cle up the NJ. & P. track the other day and was crossing..a small bridge when the earth flew up and "swatted" him. He was not badly hurt-on- [ ly bruised head, a smashed nose, few teeth lost. a caved-in chin and few assorted contusions in various sections of his anatomy.
 Netherton seems to think himself fortunate, however, in contemplat- ing the greater miseries of Mayor Will L. Baron. Will tried to ride burro. In that he was very suc- cessful, but he had neglected to take lessons in alighting. When he alighted he hit hard. His flight was much like that of Darius Green when he tried his noted flying ma chine. But Wills. injuries are even worse than Greens for history says nothing about getting collar bone broken.
 So the two invalids sit out in front of the Coop store and try to trade burros for bicycles and vice versa.-Gazette.

Last Satuarday. afternoon, about abeat twopacfnck. the denizens of the tender.lion district were start led by the discharge of a pistol three times in rapid succession. In- vestigation developed the fact that Charles. Little did the shooting, and that the sufferer from his indiscre- tion was Maria Robles, his mistress. Sheriff Owens WAS informed of what had taken place, and went at once in quest of the shooter. whom he found in the Reception Saloon and placed under arrest, notwith- standing his boasts that no four men in town could arrest him. District Attorney Perrill wac sent for and came dowE from Holbrook on the first train Monday morning. The examining trial was had at ten o'clock that morning. The defend ant, through his attorney, Geo. J. Stoneman, waived examination and was held to grand jury in tho sum of $75O, in default of which he was taken to Holbrook by the Sheriff and placed in jail. The wounds are flesh and not of q serious nature. Little and his mistress, so we are informed, were out at Clear Creek with @ party of five or sixiother, two or three days immediately be- fore the shooting, and she attempt ed suicide by drowning, on account of some trifiing misunderstanding. As the case will come up at the September term of court VIC refrain from making any comments.-Mail.

 Indians.

Frcm the Wilcox News,
 On Sunday evening, W.T.Cooper, Dos Cabezas mining man, whose statements may be considered thor. oughly reliable. came in from the Buckhorn Basin, bringing reports of much excitement among tho miners of that district, over the sudden appearance and suspicious actions of band of armed Indians.
 Mr. Cooper left Wilcox Saturday morning. and on arriving at point two miles this side of the camp of the Backhorn Basin Mining com- pany, met John Lucy, who was mounted and on his way to notify as many ranchers and prospectors as be could reach. MT. Lucy stated that number of prospectors had just hurried in from the hills, and: reported seeing bunch of twelve armed bucks leisurely prowling around through tic hills. Two of the miners stayed at Lucy's place to protect his family should the h. dians attack the place, while he and the rest of the men started out to warn the unprotected ranchers.
 Mir. Cooper proceeded to the camp and started for Wilcox again Sunday morning. He had covered but a few miles when he accidental ly caught sight of an Indian, armed with an army rifle, skulking among the rocks. who, on seeing him, turn ed and ran in an opposite direction from which he came.
 While this report was still new, another was brought in Monday morning from the new Pierce dig ging, that a band of six or eight In- dians attacked a small camp, and drove several prospectors from their claims. They fired four shots at one of the men and pressed him so closely that in order to escape with hls life he was compelled to leap from 6 high ledge and was badly injured.
 Capt. F. K. Ward, who is in con- mand at San Carlos, happened to be in town Sunday night and was in- formed of the facts, The post com mauder at Fort Grant was notified Monday morning, and what action will be taken yet remains to be seen.
 Apropos of these incipient out breaks, and their effect upon our local business interests, a promi- nsrt mining man. who for years has been investing money in the very neighborhood where the Indians were encountered, was heard by the News man to remark that the Ge- ronimo outbreak served to serious ly damage his sinterests, not so much through direct depredations by the Indians, as by hindering the cul- minations of an important sale, which he was about make to eastern capitalists. He further declared, that should the big outbreak take place this summer as every one ex- rects, he will leave the territory, taking as much of his property as

An Unuuttral Crime.

B. A. Hadssll a prominent Dunk ard of Glendale was indicted yesterday at Phoenix by the grand jury on @ chrage of incest.
 The charge was preferred by N. A. Hadsell, a brother of the accued. who alleges thatB.A.had held mere. tricious relations with his daugh- ter, Harriett Hadsell, while the young women was member ofB. A. s h household.
 The story, as given ont by the de- fense. is that after the death of B. A. Hadsell's wife in March, 1893, he prevaild upon his niece, Harriet, to move to his capacity of domes- tic take care ofthe motherless child ren. The girl stayed at his home until the end of December last, when he again married.
 It is alleged by. the defense that the brother preferred the charges in order to get B. A. out of the country, so that he could get his property.
 |. The other side of ths story is that the young women went to live at her uncle's home to look after his nfter his children and that she re- mained in that capacity until he re-married. When she left his em- ploy there was still 8 sum due her, and not being able to obtainsit she went home and complained to her father what had occurred during her residence at her unels's. It is ss- serted that the relations hip was kept up for over year, or during the whole time she with with uncle.
 Hadsell is now in the county jail and will plead somarrow.-Yuma Times.
