The counterfeiter's case.

Jim Young returned to the Jail a
tanned man. Criminal charges had ac
cumulated against him since his escape.
Beside the original accusation of coun-
terfeiting. he is now confronted with
charges of jailbreaking and resisting ar
rest, to say nothing of the possibility
of losing his leg. His account of the
escape is of some interest. After hav-
ing gotten outside the Jail and having
scaled the Jail yard fence he and Price
ran down First avenue and proceeded
to the southwestern part of the city
where they found horses and arms.
How and from whom they were OBJ
tained he says he does not know. The
first night they covered sixty miles hay
ing passed the Buckeye country. At
last they reached Sentinel from which
point their adventures up to the cul-
mination of the tragedy are we'll known.
Deputy Prothero's Account.
''When we reached Sentinel from
Phoenix week ago yesterday morning
we 70 ind the horses which were walt
ing for US to be very inferior animals.
We knew they could not stand hard
trip but they were the best we could get
then. They gave out and we had to go
back to Sentinel on Monday but left
ella Bend that night and started for
the A 10 mine. There we got guide,
Tommy Childs, who proved one of the
bravest boys | ever saw. We were
satisfied Price and Young were camp
ing in Tule canvon and as we started in
from the east said to young Childs:
81 don't want to get you into trouble
and I'll tell you that these men we're
after are tough people. There's going
to be hard fighting. Ii you want to get
out of it you better 60 now
"'I'll take care of myself all right
he said as he entered the canyon, which
is wash about fifteen feet deep, whose
side on the south slopes off gradually.
Childs and | were within twenty-five
yards OF the camp of the convicts and
kellogg and Moore were about 100 yards
distant.
The fight commenced at once and
lasted only about minute, but it was
hot one. The men undertook to climb
the southern side, when Young fell
with broken leg. Almost at the same
time Price was shot in the shoulder,
and right away afterward he received
the fatal wound in the abdomen. He
still continued firing and it was his
next to the last shot that broke 10y
arm.
"Finally, when he saw he was NOR
tally wounded, he came up to us and
lay down. | was trying to bandage my
arm, but l stopped and said, Price,
do you want drink OF water?' He
said he did. got it for him and said
to him, Price, why did you keep on
shooting at me after you was killed ?"
OH he said, Ive done just what
anyone in my fix would do The fight
was over and left with Moore for Gila
Bend, leaving Kellogg and Cnilds with
the prisoners"

Honolulu.
SAN Francisco, JAN 5.-Advices from
Honolulu by the bark, Ceylon, dated
Dec. IS, state that President Dole has

The government has taken no extra
precautions on account of the discovery
of an alleged conspiracy and everything
is quiet. The city is overrun with

BurSon and Hamilton.

The hearing of the two men in Jail
charged with assisting in the esca pc,
was continued yesterday by Commits
sioner Crenshaw until tomorrow. The
continuance is at the request of their
attorneys. They were not indicted
yesterday by the federal grand jury
and it is not likely that anything will
come of the hearing tomorrow.
The United States statutes do not
make their offense crime. That is, it
is necessary that the Jail should have
been forcibly broken. The fact that
they had purchased weapons for the
prisoners and supplied them with
horses does not constitute a federal
crime The case however is fully
covered by the territorial statutes and
if the defendants are convicted the
penalty may be ten years in the peni-
tentiary or $4,000 fine.

A WATERHAUL.
The Federal Grand jury Fin
iSheS Its Work.
The Charge of Embezzlement
Against Gov. Hughes Ignored
in the Final Report.

The cloud ''the size of mans hand"
which rose on the horizon of Arizona
three months ago, and which threat
ened to increase in size and density
until it should obscure the political
prospects OF Governor Hughes, dwindled
in area until it was no bigger than a
baby's hand and now has finally been
dissipated altogether.
The much-talked of Indictment of the
governor for embezzlement, NAL
feasance, etc., did not come to a head.
The hen which was said to be con" has
come off and discioses a nest of door
knobs out of which it was impossible to
hatch doors or any other sort of builo-
ing material.
The governor was specifically charged
with having received and retained the
salary of official interpreter or trsnsla-
tor, an Office which is usually held by
the governors private secretary who
receives his salary directly from the
government. 1t was said in this case
that the salary of the interpreter was
regarded as perquisite of the governor
and that his late private secretary, Mr..
John Armstrong, now of the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, had drawn the salary
and turned it over to the governor.
V arious sections OF the United States
statutes were supposed to have a bear
ing upon this transaction and Mr.. Arm
strong was brought here to testify con-
cerning the fact that it had taken place.
Mr.. Armstrong; testimony was un-
favorable to the prosecution and the
theory of embezzlement was abandoned
along with those sections of the statutes
by which it had been sought to estab-
lish it.
The charge then became a violation
of section 1881, which prohibits any
congressman or federal otficeholder
from receiving or giving money or con-
sderation for an office. Ii there is one
violator OF this section in q particular
instance there must necessarily be two,
Just as there must be two parties to a
properly developed quarrel or marriage
ceremony. Mr.. Armstrong therefore

this section and both cases were simu1 :

A Memorable Ride.

1t was sixty-fve miles to Gila Bend,
a long distance for man with broken
arm, longer one, perhaps, to man
with broken leg, and infinitely long
to man whose intestines were riddled
by rife ball and who was momen-
tarily praying for death. Price said
that if he had known he would live so
long he would not have given up the
fight SO early. His only wish that
he might not live to reach Gila Bend
was granted. He died halt mile away
lust twenty. four hours after the battle.

A HIdeOuS Attraction.

The body of Price was taken to the
Jail yard. The rough box in which it
had been carried was exchanged for an
almost equally rough but coffin shaped
receptacle in which the body was to be
buried.
The murderer lay in horrible state all
forenoon and until the middle of the
afternoon. The corpse was viewed by
hundreds OF the morbidly curious and
there never was ghastiier sight in
Phoenix. Putrefaction had already set
in. The pinched face was covered by a
three weeks growth Of hair. The long
and prominent jaw was held in place by
a strong but dirty cloth and the front
teeth were visible between the half
open lips.
The clothes worn by the murderer
when he fell in the fatal fight in Tule
canon had never been removed and the
pants were recognized as those he wore
during the trial. An area of dried
blood on the coat about the left
shoulder showed the locality OF the first
wound received in the fight. The alb
domen was uncovered and a small hole
Just below the navel marked the en-
trance of the fatal bullet. Upon his
feet lay his broad brimmed slouch hat.
This was the spectacle for which an
almost steady stream of men and boys,
dotted occasionally with women and
children, poured for hours through the
wide gateway of the unsightly Jail yard.
Many stood at the west windows OF the
district court room or at the windows
of the board OF supervisors room and
looked down upon the body.
Ii it had looked well expressions of
regret might have been uttered, but
there was hideousness about which re-
PEELED suggestion of humanity. Ifthe
spectators were dry-eyed and pitiless
the clouds were not. At noon heavy
mist, which had been settling all morn
ing, gave way to more decided precipi-
tation and rain drops began falling
upon the haggard. upturned face.

Canada's Great Inlani Waterway.

used largely by American boats. The
old lock on the Michigan side of the
river has about seventeen feet of water
on the sills, and is 500 feet long by
eighty feet wide. Besides these, new
American look is now being built, of
huge dimensions. To those unfamiliar
with the traffic through the $500" it
may seem unnecessary that three locks
should be in operation, but the ton
mage has for long time been OF i'm

ties are inadequate. As long ago n,
August, 1890, when the American lock,
the only one then built, was broken
from Friday morning until Monday
noon, nearly 200 vessels accumulated
there in that short time, and great
losses resulted from the delay, besides
the damage to perishable freight. The
average passages during May, 1895,
were seventy-seven, and on SIX oc,a-
slons they exceeded one hundred, the

Taking everything into consideration. the

but in this instance its application
seems to be perfectly natural and
based on the simplest laws of elec.
trical and physiological effects. The
treatment is far more sensible and ef.
fective than cosmetics and washes, and
small pocket battery will meet all its
requirements. Much in beauty is due
to the anatomical subs'ratum of the
skin, attractiveness depending largely
upon contour; and anything that
tones up" the facial muscles tends to
restore and accentuate their outlines.
This modification of the muscular tbs.
sue is primarily the result Of the indu.
ence of the current upon the nerves,
for the muscles are controlled by the
nerves, both in their movement and
in their nourishment. The effect up.
on the healthiness and beauty of the
skin follows on the improved circula.
ton of the blood in the skin. In.
creased flow of blood means increased
nourishment, capacity to eliminate
deleterious material, aud tirmness an |
vigor of the skin, so there is little
doubt that the iudicious application
OF mild faraic current to the face,
neck and shoulders of those who wish
to improve their personal appearance
can in no way do any harm, and, II
patiently persevered in, is mostly
likely to aid them in their plrpose. -
