Wanted for Various Crimes.

PHOENIX, Ayiz., Oct 25.-L. q. Orme,
sheriff of this county, yesterday morn
ing shot DR.. Rose at Mesa, sixteen
miles east of Phoenix, with a shotgun,

eonfederates, had attempted to MUIR
der the Williams family, consisting of
the doctor, his young wife and
daughter. The latter was formerly
the wife of DR.. Rose in Kansas.
The confederates, Burt and Cooley
were captured and placed in Jail.
Burt previously gave the plot away to
the sheriff, but was afraid to refuse to
help execute the plans of the murder
for fear Rose would kill him. Sheriff
Orme was in DIR. Williams bedroom
awaiting the assassins, while United
States Deputy Marshal Standard re-
NAMED outside to watch. At $50 Burt
came and cut the screen and unlocked
the door. At Ii o'clock he returned
with Rose and entered the house. Rose
had blacksmith's hammer in his right
hand, q wagon spoke in the other and q
pistol in his pocket. Two dummies
had been placed in DIR. Williams bed.
Rose struck one with the hammer.
Sheriff Orme said: Hold up your
hands, am sheriff of this county and
have you covered with double-bar-
relied shotgun" After waiting q few
seconds he again said: II will surely
shoot you if you don't throw up your
hands," Rose failed to do SO and the
sheriff fired both barrels, killing him.
Rose was wanted by the govern
ment for holding up mails, and also
in Kansasafor bank robbery. He was
here six months ago, when he tried to
kill his wife, but was arrested and
agreed to leave the country. He had
$500 and seven doses of arsenic sewed
in the waist band of his trousers.

STORIES OF THE DAY. :
Jim Started To Dance, but Soon Had tho
Laugh ON tho Gang.

Jim Started to Dance, but Soon Had tho
Laugh ON tho Gang.
One day u lot Of rustlcrs and all round
thieves and cutthroats rode into min
ing town in Arizona and proceeded to
have fun. They rode up and down the
main street firing right and left until
they scared every body indoors Then
they went into the principal saloon Of
the place for liquor. Jim Dupree hap
pened to be in the saloon at tho time,
and, as usual, had no gun with him
Those follows caught sight of him, and
as he was the freshest looking duck they
had seen for many u day they started i'll
to have fun with him. The leader of the
gang was rufilan called Long Haired
Pete. As soon as he saw Dupree he
pulled his gun and sent bullet through
the floor right between Jim's feet.
Give us dance and be - lively
about it'll" shouted Pete, while his gang
gathered around to see tho fun.
Jim got up without word and start
ed in to dancing u regular old Kentucky
breakdown. Those fellows thought no
was scared almost to death. He danced
around i'll circle, and as he came in
front of the leader Of the gang his foot
suddenly shot up and caught Long Haired
Pete squarely under the chin The ruff
fan measured his length on the floor.
Quick as fash Jim lcapcd forward
and snatched the two pistols carried by
the leader of the gang. Then, with q
smile as innocent as that of q boy, he
covered the gang and told them all to
dance.
They hesitated for moment. Then
Jim sent n bullet through the too of
Pete's boot and another through the hat
of Lon Spivey, member of the gang
They danced then, and at the first sign
of let up Jim would shoot button off
the mans coat or clip off lock of long
hair with bullet.
Without taking his eyes off the gang
Jim told the barkeepcr TO send out and
get all the boys to come in and SEQ the
fun. They all came quickly enough, and
Jim kept that gang of outlaws there
dancing until some of them dropped to
tho floor exhausted
Then he made every man of them
hand over his gun to the barkeeper, af-
ter which he ordered drinks for the
crowd. When the fun was over, he told
Pete to take his gang and get out of tho
territory as fast as possible and never
come back. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

AS GOOD AS MUNCHAUSEN,
Remarkable Story of What Happened
From Drinking Water HnvinR Iron In It

Remarkable Story of Whit Hnppencd
From Drinking Water Having Iron In 1t.
a remarkable story comes from the
upper Yakima country, Washington.
Two years ago Potter Stromstadt located
on piece OF land near what is now
known rs Borax Springs, his family
consisting OF his wife and two children.
A few days after his settlement Strom-
stadt discovered q spring close to tho
shack he had built, the water of which
was strongly impregnated with iron,
but not unpalatablo. Stromstadt dug
and deepened the spring and since Ju-
~, 1898, the family has used tho water
for all domestic purposes.
One night recently heavy electric
storm passed over the cascades, accom-
panied by vivid displays of lightning.
Tho following day Mrs. Stromstadt,
while kindling fire in tho stove, found
it almost impossible to separate tho
stove litter from her hand Her hus-
band, hearing her scream, ran to her
assistance, when to his surprise he
found that no. too, experienced great
difficulty il detaohing any article of
iron with which his hands came In CON
sact. Breakfast was finally prepared,
and the family sat down to the meal.
The children, girls of 6 and years re-
spoctively, drank their milk from tin
cups, and upon raising their cups to
their mouths found themselves unable
to detaoh the cups from their lips.
Stromstadt, who is an intelligent imrni
grant from Sweden, was nonplused
and while unable to account for tho
wonderful occurrence nevertheless
laughed at his wife's excited declara-
tions that tho family was bewitchcd.
A member of the Portland COR. J
Academy Of Science, to whom the cir
oumstances WERE related. says that the
Stromstadt family has become saturated
with iron, which was rendered magnet
ic by the passage of electricity from the
clouds to tho earth during the recent
electric storm. Stromstadt himself takes
the matter philosophically and aside
from the inconvenience of having his
head decorated with II fringe of knives,
forks and teaspoons. which arc attached
to him, is inclined TO regard the occur
renee lightly.
