"MUSHEAD BILL"
An Old Time Arizonan Suffers From
 lHallucinations

'Mushead Bill'' was the common ap- pellation in Phoenix these dozen years agone for a burly stage driver, who, as he fooled his Concord coach on the old Jim Stewart line to Old Maricopa would recount most marvellous tales to all who chose to listen. He didn't seem to have good ''horse sense," yet as driver was one of the best on the line. His appellation he never resent ed, and on account of unfailing good nature and optimism was a prime favorite. Here is an item about him from the Prescott Courier:
 ''Wm. Bromell was locked up in jail last evening on account of showing signs of insanity. He claimed ito have driven a four horse team and wagon loaded with pure gold into Prescott from the Crowned King mine; said that he had two heads and was troubled with his feet. Another indication that Cromwell was going crazy is the fact that he tried to borrow four bits from the editor of the Courier night before last. Cromwell is better known as 'Mushhead Bill," and may be suffering from the effects of too much alcohol" :"

lawyer. The story goes that farmer
who had killed his wife in the northern
part Of the state sent for Mr. Brennan
To defend him, Offering to deed him his
farm if he would take the CASE Bren
nan wanted his pay III advance. and So
the farmer made over the property II
him. The murder was most brutal and
cold blooded one, and Brennan knew
that there was but one plea that might
save his client from life sentence, ana
that was insanity. The trial was one #
the tiercest ever fought in a Wisconsin
court. The attorney for the defense oe-
eupied a whole day i'll his closing ad-
dress to the jury. and the effort was Il
mastery one. The jury found the man
insane, and he Was sent Ia Oshkosh.
Once there he improved rapidly and in
a few weeks was discharged. His first
act was to sue Brennan for the recovery
Of his property. on the ground that he
was insane m the time he decided it, In
the fact Of his oWn argument that the
man WAS insane Brennan could do
nothing, and the fmuor Won his case.

New Stars.

The supposed unchanging face Of the
sky has impressed the minds of both the
civilized and uncivilized faces of hu-
mainly since time out of memory. To
the popular mind the thousands of shin
ing points of light which stud "heaven S

tain this sleeping world are the sym
bols Of immutability, Of Immortality
and of eternity.
We speak of them shining on for
ever" and of their "uneIring cycles, -
but astronomers know that such planet
AIRY bodies are not "uncrring," that
they have not always existed, and that
in all probability they Will not last
forever. Observations that have been
MADE since astronomy became recoE-
nized as one of the exact sciences
prove that stars are subject to crises-tG
ups and doWns-just the same as are
earthly things. They have been seen to
burn up and disappear like Whit of

occupied since the dawn of civilization
| There are whole sections of the sky
now bare that were once occupied
with stars of different magnitudes, On
the contrary, new stars have frequently
burst into view. The most prominent of
these are the one that appeared III 1870
