INDIAN WARDS.
Cost of Their Maintenance at
Yuma.
The Original Claim Cut Down to a
Still Comfortable
Sum.

Governor Hughes yesterday received
fran the department OF justice report
rendered by Mr.. R. V. La Dow to At.
torney-General Olney, concerning the
care of Indian United States prisoners
at Yuma.
The investigation had been prompted
by claim sent in for the care of such
prisoners. The report was sent in in
two installments. The first was q
highly commendatory description of
the prison and its management.
The next related strictly to the busi-
ness on which the agent had come. His
investigation covered period of several
years, a considerable part of which
the bookkeeping had been defective
and in which claim OF $34, lis for the
keeping of Iadan prisoners had ac-
cumulated on basis of 81 per diem.
Mr.. La Dow ascertained in one way or
another that the per diem should have
been about 55 cents; that many
of the items employed in swelling
it to 81 would have appreared whether
there were any Indian prisoners
or rot. He therefore recommends the
payment by the government of $18, 163.-
25. OF this 10 per cent will have to be
paid to firm OF Washington attorneys
to whom Governor Hughes was autho.
rized to pay 20 per cent if necessary to
make any part of the territoly's claim
good.
Under law passed in the latter
hours of the Legislature the rest of this
convenient sum goes into fund which
the board of control may employ fol

A SIMPLE SHOT.

Attempted Assassina-
ton ofLiHung Chang
Will Possibly Offer a Pretext to
Russia and France.
But However 1t May Turn Out the
Harmless Fool That Fired 1t

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Information
comes to the Chinese legation to the
effect that Ii Hung Chang's wound is
not dangerous although Prince LIS ad-
vanced age and several constitutional
disorders may aggravate the nowise
harmful wound.
The officials of the japanese legation
say the offender will be charged with
treason as the assault is not only
against the person of Ii Hung Chang
but against the Chinese government
1t is probable that the trial will be be-
fore a court martial and conviction
would mean that the offender will be
shot.
Diplomats here are inclined to
believe that the whole peace negotia-
ton may be broken off by the assault
by affording pretext for European in
tervention. Ii himself will prevent
such failure, however, if possible.

New County.

another appointment of the new Navajo
county officers, g. P. Owens, for sheriff.
He is a Democrat and the appoint
ment was made at the request of large
number of Democrats of the new

slow, for treasurer, Democrat; F. W.
Nelson OF Winslow, for recorder, Re-

SAN Francisco, March 25.-William
J. Hurley, an ex-policeman charged
with attempting to bribe member OF
the jury which recently tried Dick
Mcdonald, the bank wreeker, created 4
sensation today. Against the advice OF
his counsel he went on the witness
stand and made clean breast of his
connection with the attempt to brihe
jurors. He implicated Deputy Sheriff
Rock who was under suspicion at the
time of Hurley's arrest, also Harry
Piper, chief deputy county clerk.
Hurley swore that Mr.. I'll. Mcdonald
had offered him $500 for each juror that
he could get to vote for aequ'ttal. He
then went to Deputy Sheriff Rock, be
said, and they agreed to manage the job
together, Rock agreeing to summon the
the men to be named by Hurley. HuS-
ley declared that Livernasb, MeDon-
AIDS attorney, had told the whole truth
about the matter but despite Liver
nash's as|ertionsto the contrary, he in
sisted that Mcdonald bad promised
him $500 for each juror. Hurley was
asked whether he had ever been in the
jury bribing business before.
Hurley, it will be remembered, was
one of the jurors. who stood ont for ae-
quittal on the trial Of Actor Curtis for
ther murder Of Policeman Grant
"Hever in my liie,'' was Hurley's re-
ply; ''peopie thausht that | was he-
canse | stood ous for aeqaittal in The

ended Hurley's testimony.

Thomas Stevens is a colored gentle

On Sunday Thomas got drunk and went
home intending to take it out OF his
wife. He was arrested for creating a
disturbance in the bosom of his own
family.
Mr.. Stevens decided to simplify mat
ters and reduce expense by breaking
out of Jail. He observed a window
or door which had been bricked
up probably because egress air or ven-
tilation was no longer needed at that
particular point. Escape was sim
pile. He prled out couple OF layers of
bricks and brought up against set of
strong iron bars. His futile attempt at
Jail breaking and his successful attempt
at wife beating cost him twenty five
days, not dollars, because Recorder
Schwartz would accept no monetary
alternative.

 During s speech m ade at Charlestoxp, this county, l5 years ago, Colonel Bob Inaersoll exoressed himself to the effec, that when Kentucky went republican he would believe there was hell. The re- mark has since been quoted by almost everyone in this vicinity, and especially during the few days just preceding the election in Kentucky. Everywhere on the streets could he heard remarks in regard to Colonel Bradley forcing Colonel lngersoll to change his views.
 The Lord doeth all things for the best and we suppose he saw DO other way to reach Bob only through defeat of the democratic party in Kentucky.
