Armer and His Pals.

The attempted jail break discov- cred at the territorial prison Is es- pecially interesting from the char acter of prisoners who attempted to dig out. Armer, the leader is a young cowboy who headed the ttain robbers near Maricopa about elgh- teen months ago, and was captured alter being shot by Sheriff Murphy near Phoenix. His is practically a life sentence but he was fortunate in not being hanged. His sentence of thirty years dates from October, 1894.
 Henry Fugerson is one of the most yillainous of burglars, who, detected in d lady's room in the Gregory house, attempted to screen himself by impugning the chastity of the apartments occupant. It was only second degree work how ever, and he got but five years.
 Clay, the third, is daring and dangerous thief, sent for seven years term in May, 1892.
 Itis possible that Superintendent Gates will now, as this IS the sec ond attempt, find some way of re- straining their wandering ten dencies if he has to lock them in a burglar proof safe-kepublican.

A MONSTER.
The Largest Potato Ever Pro. duced in the Country Now on Exhibition at the
 Post Office.

The largest sweet potato ever produced in this section is now to be seen at the post office in Stafford. There are two potatoes on exhibi- ton, the smaller one being an un- usually large ''spud" but It dwindles into insignifcance when placed by the side of the larger one.
 They were both raised on the farm of I. E. D. Zundel, at Thatch- CT, by MT. Angel, The largest po- tato weighs thirty-six and one half pounds and measures forty-hve inches in circumference, while the smaller one weighes seventeen lbs. and measures thirty-two inches ID circumference. Both potatoes are we'll formed and solid, and 1t would be well to remark that pound potato grew on the same stem "lth the 36 pounder.
 This story, we admit, sounds rather "fshy" but it is nevertheless true, to which hundreds of people can make affidavit. The big pota- to will be taken to San Francisco by A. A. Whitney, special agent for the Osborne Machine company. Photographs of the two sitting side by side have been taken by Photo grapher Somes, which can be had at 35 cents each.-The Guardian.

Some ungodlv, unmerciful, un- clean, minimizing, unprincipled, sneaking thief got away during the hours of Tuesday night, with a DOT ton of the wardrobe of the Associ- ate Editress of this sheet. If the dastardly deed had been perpetrat- ed upon the worldly effects of some bIoatel capitalist, instead of the Editress of this office, 1t would have been more in keeping with the eter- nal fitness of things and would have left the atmosphere of this sanctum much brighter than it has been this week.-Gallup Cleaner.

town.

The following kindly words on behalf of Arizona are from the Chi cago Inter Ocean, paper that has always been good friend to the people of this territory
 "One of the good outcomes of the evil of demonstration of silver has been a stimulation of the search for and development of gold mines. There is no danger of the supply of gold becoming too large, and there was felt a danger in the aceumula- ton of idle capital in bank vaults. No inconsiderable part of this has been set loose by the revival of gold-mining enterprises, and Arizo- ma has been among the regions most attractive to the speculator. It long was an article of belief among min. CTS that Arizona was productive only ot surface gold, and that no "deep workings" could be develop ed in its 4imits. Experience has brought knowledge; Arizona is full of deep workings" and it is not improbable that the Arizona mines may equal those of Africa in pro ductiyeness.

Smallpox Hospital Only ApprOpri-
ated for in the District Bill.
THE SITUATION NOT CHANGED
Question of Locating the Contagious Disease
Hospital Still acknowledgements Pro-
vision Made in the Appropriation for Ad-
ditional School AccommOdatiOns-sewer
Bond Amendment Not Incorporated.

The action of the Senate Committee in add
ing to the District appropriation bill an item
OF $4,000, TO be Immediately available, for
the erection and equipment of a smallpox
hospital on the eastern part of reservation
10, had the effect OF stirring up the citizens of
East Washington.
Upon the presumption that the committee
had been induced to take that step as a
means of disposing OF the contagious dis
eases hospital agitation, the people in the
eastern section were early in the field for
action against it.
Mr.. NJ /. Weller, who was at the District
Building early in the day, said, however,
that he had misunderstood the scope of the
measure proposed. He said the citizens of
East Washington were opposed to the loca-
tion of hospital in the section named for
the especial reason that those afflicted with
minor contagious ought not to be sent for
treatment where they will be liable to con-
tract malarlal disorders.
''The smallpox hospital is there, however, 4"
said Mr.. Weller, land everybody will admit
that something should be done to render the
place decent.
FOR SMALLPOX HOSPITAL ONLY.
'iThe question OF locating a contagious
disease hospital" added Mr. Weller, "such as
that the Commissioners had in mind when
they selected the site at Pleasant Plains, is
still undecided, as now understand it, and
this appropriation has nothing whatever to
do with it,
Commissioner Ross was asked what he
thought OF the matter, and said:
II understand the appropriation Is to ap-
ply to a smallpox hospital and it was never
proposed to include that disease in the list OF
those to be treated at the Pleasant Plains in
stitution. 1t was intended for the treatment
OF dIphtheria, scarlet fever, and the like. /
do not consider that the Senate appropriation
changed the situation, except to provide a
good hospital for the treatment of smallpox" +"
Commissioner Powell said If that appro-
priatlon goes through there will be erected
somewhere on that reservation, though not
where the present building stands. commo-
dious structure, which will be we'll equipped
with all the modern appliances. We will
have the improved disinfecting process in
trodueed, and all the apparatus necessary for
the destruction ofinfected clothing. Further
than that, we shall most probably have q
crematory for burning the bodies of persons
who die of smallpox"
Asked il the building, now familiarly re-
ferred to as the contagious disease hospital,
would be located on the same reservation,
Major Powell said:
WAIT until the appropriation passes Con-
