 Governor Hughes has issued g re- quisiton on the governor of Oklahoma for John NJ. See, who in May, 1892, murdered his wife at Gann's ranch, in Gila county, by shooting her with a shotgun. See was located by J. H..

 Thursday evening the citizens of St. Johns, Apache county, were treated to about two hours of horror. A rider from the big reservoir six miles above town, took in word that the dam had broken and the water would be upon the town. This was half after ten and nearly every one had retired. All those living along the banks of the river were aroused and were lined up and down the creek, awaiting the catastrophe. The river rose at the rate of an inch a minute, and was soon Tapping the top of the bridge, but fortunately for that structure, about that time it began to subside. It was learned in the morning that the dam had not broken, but water spout had burst about a mile or so from the dam.
 Leland Wright, son of William R. Wright, who lives two miles and a half southwest of Florence, one day last week, called his mother to come into yard and see a wonderful sight And sure enough it was strange, for there were two snakes over three feet long and of about equal size, having a bat tie to the death. One was a black snake and the other a rattlesnake with five rattles. The former had seized the rattler by the head, and was swal- lowing him whole. As Mrs. Wright and the children stood there, the rat tle,nake entirely disappeared in the body of the blacksnake. The rattler made frantic struggles to prevent the swallowing act but it was mouse, and his rat.}es sounded his death as they were lost to sight.

seconds before the runner reached the
base. Captain Thompson objected,
but the umpire refused to change his
decision.
During the fifth inning Mrs. Frank

The injury was very painful and

Willie Wilder was declared out in

After the game Captain Thompson
gave notice that he would enter pro-

Winter. The ruling, however, was in

to the opinions of several ball players,
the ground taken by Captain Thomp-

SATURDAYS SHOOT.
Company F Defeated by the Crack
Volunteer Company.

Quite lively contest took place
between teams from D and F Com
panies at Makiki butts Saturday
afternoon.
The match was close and excit-
ing from start to finish. The fact
that F Company had but one
week to prepare for the shoot and
the substitution of four new men
did not seem to detract from their
skill, for they scored 400 points
the best record yet made by the
company. 1t was unfortunate that
one Of F's best shots made a record
far below previous averages.
D was not lacking in ill-luck.
While preparing for action, Captain
Wilder lost one shot by an acci-
dental discharge.
The following scores were made:

Owing to 80 many errors being
made in engrossing bills, both in the
Senate and House, and the high cost
of same, Attorney General Smith said
it would be much cheaper and more
accurate to have bills printed. The
Land Act, he said, cost nearly $3.50 to
engross, while it could have been
printed for about One-fffth of that
amount and 100 copies furnished, in
stead of one. The practice in the
United States was to print all bills
and transmit them in that manner to
the President for signature. He hoped
the matter would be acted upon at
once by the Joint Com mittee.

rolls to the amount of $54, 800 came up
on order of the day.
Attorney General Smith asked that
$1,000 be added as salary for land
agent. The agent would have to
manage the department., aDd was en-
titled to a like amount of salary as
heads of other bureaus. The bill
passed as amended, was ordered en-
crossed and sent to the Senate.
The bill to prevent Foot Binding
was found to be defective, in that the
certificate failed to show date of its
passage. It was, however, read first

Senate for correction.

up the attempt and, leaning against
the side Of the fireplace buried his
head in the bend Of his arm.
Then the doctor arrived and made his
examination. While 1t was in progress
Hewitt took aside the policeman who
had been speaking before and ques-
toned him further. He had himself
found the Frenchman in a dull back
street by Golden Square, where the
man was standing helpless and trem-
bling, apparently quite bewildered and
very weak. He had brought him in,
without having been able to learn any
thing about him. One or two shop
keepers in the street where he was
found were asked but knew nothing of
him-indeed, had never seen him be-
fore. But the curiousest thing" the
policeman proceeded, was in this 'ere

The man paused after the last of

stabbed into the paper with blot as

with groan, he dropped it. and his

"shall I try him."
Certainly. IL you will. He's in the

Hewitt found his way TO the large
mess room, where three or four police
men, in their shirt sleeves, were Gu
riously rgarding young man Of very
disordered appearance, wha sat on a
chair by the fire. He was pale, and ex-
hibited marks of bruises on his face,
while over one eye was scarcely
healed cut. His figure was small and
slight, his coat was torn, and he sat
with a certain indefinite air of shiver-
ing suffering. He started and looked
round apprehensivcly as Hewitt en-
tered. Hewitt bowed smilingly, wished
him good day, speaking in French, and
asked If he spoke the language.
The man looked up with dull ex-
preston, and, after an effort or two, as
one who shutters, burst out with "Je

the men. Il ask him If he speaks

for particular inspector, who was not
in. Hewitt sat and wrote a note, and
by way of making conversation said to
the inspector on duty: Anything very
startling this way today?"

yet" the inspector replied, but one OF

He's a Foreigner Frenchman, be-

when one of the men. thinking he
might be hungry, brought in some
bread. He went into fits of terror at
the sight of 1t, and wouldn't be paci-
fed till they took 1t away again."

over to speak to the doctor Wait
awhile, until he seems very quiet and
fairly comfortable. Then bring a loaf
in quietly and put it on the table not
far below his elbow. Don't attract his
attention to what you are doing"
The doctor stood looking thoughfully
down on the Frenchman, who. for his
part, stared glooomily but TRANQUILITY
at the fireplace. Hewitt stepped quiet
ly over to the doctor, and. without
disturbing the man by the fire, said in
terrogatively. "Aphasia?"

frowned and nodded significantly.

Pen and paper were brought and set
before the man. He was told, slowly
and distinctly, that he was among
friends, whose only object was to re-
store him to his proper health. Would
he write his name and address and
any other information he might care
to give about himself on the paper be-
fore him?
The Frenchman took the pen and
stared at the paper. Then slowly and
with much hesitation he traced these

CHANGED to come across a case of
lit was acquainted with it's general ma
ture. He knew that it might arise
either from some physical injury to
the brain, or from a breakdown con-
sequent on some terrible nervous
strain. He knew that in the case of
motor aphasia the sufferer, though
fully conscious of all that goes on
about him, and though quite under
standing what is said to him, Is en-
tirely powerless to put his own
thoughts into spoken words-has lost,
in fact, the connection between words
and their spoken symbols. Also that
in most bad cases agrapha-the loss
of ability to write words with any ref
erence to their meaning-is commonly
an accompaniment.
"You will have him taken to the in
firmary. / suppose?" Hewitt asked.
Yes" the doctor replied, II shall go
and see about it at once"
The man looked up again as they
spoke. The policeman had, in accord
ance with Hewitt's request, placed a
loaf Of bread on the table, near him,
and now as he looked up he caught
sight of 1t. He started visibly, and
paled, but gave no such signs of abject
terror as the policeman had previously
observed. He appeared nervous and
uneasy, however, and presently reached
stealthily toward the loaf. Hewitt
continued to talk to the doctor while
closely watching the Frenchman's be-
havior from the corner of his eye. The
loaf is what is called a plain cottage"
of solid and regular shape; the man
reached It, and Immediately turned 1t
bottom up on the table. Then he sank
back in his chair, with a more con-
tented expression, though his gaze was
still directed toward the loaf. The po-
liceman grinned silently at this curl
