Special to The Herald.
WILLIAMS, Ariz., March 13.-M. Alt
man. proprietor of the Williams house.
was arrested this evening and behind
his arrest Is most remarkable story.
w. Goldstein, a travelling jeweler and
salesman. stopped with Altman several
| weeks ago. being In the jewelry business
Altman made Goldstein, proposition to
sell or rattle a diamond ring and also
wanted him to sell some goods he had
in the house. Goldstein went out and
sold some of the goods and received his
share, which was to be one-half Of the
sales. In the meantime Altman had to
pay his taxes, and being a little short
asked Goldstein il he could not let him
have $50 or 800. Goldstein said II have
only $50 with me-" Altman said. LET
me have it, will give you my note for
It,"
Then he added: IT have got ring
worth $40 or $50; won't you try and
raffie 1t for mo; but there Is one man I
don't want to see it, what do you say if
you go to Jerome and rattle it?"
Goldstein accepted the proposition
and started for Jerome to rattle the ring,
but when he reached Ashfork he was
met with a warrant presented by Dep
uty Sheriff Frank Burt. charged with
burglary and brought back.
He found he was arrested, at the insti-
cation Of Altman. He had his trial and
was promptly acquitted. but as his
finances were somewhat short on ac-
count Of his loan to Altman, he gave
Lawyer Ross the ring as security, but
as Ross preferred cash Goldstein tried
to sell it. In his travels he met Conduo-
tor Mcdonald, who said: "Why, that's
my wife's ring; she had it stolen out of
her trunk when she was stopping at Alt
mans house several months ago."
He threatened to have Goldstein ar
rested who then related his troubles.
Then instead of wanting him arrested
he started on Altman's trail with the re-
suit that Altman is in Jail with a very
good show Of staying there for a few
summers. 1t seems that nearly every
one. that stopped with Altman reported
the loss of something. The goods Gold
stein was selling belonged to Mr. Sing
Ter. peddler, who had reported the loss
Of them to the officers some time ago
Altman made mistake when he had
Goldstein arrested which no doubt he
will have plenty Of time to regret. Alt
mans character was not above reproach.

ter. Then the company secured an in
junction in the United States Circuit

city from interfering with its lines or
works until the case could be decided
by Judge Goff. One claim of the com
pany was that the streets they occupied
were pOst-roads and part of the mail
system.
The decree says 1.-THE court without
passing on the rights claimed by the
complainant company, under the laws
of Virginia and the ordinances. of the
city of Richmond, is of opinion, and both
adjudge, order and decree, that the com
plainant company has, in accordance
with the terms and provisions, and un-
der the protection Of the act of Congress

leys of the city of Richmond, both those

pany and those not so occupied, and to

THE SITUATION GRAVE
SULTAN SAID TO BE BEHIND
WHOLE UPRISING.
SALISBURYs ALLEGED BAD DIPLOMACY
His Unconciatory Attitude Towards the Porte
Said to Have Fired the Mohammedans
The Tactics of the British
and the Afrdis.

London, Aug. 24.-An official dispatch
to-day from Simla announces that Fort
Maudc, in the Khybcr Pass, has been
captured by the Afridis after desperate
fighting The garrison, which was com
posed of native levies, known as the
Khyber Rifles, retired with the less of
three men. The Afridis afterwards
burned the fort.
The fate of the Fort Ali-Musjid, which
was simultaneously attacked by the
Afridis, is not known.
1t is admitted even in official circles
that the news from India is of the gray
est description. All those who are famil-
lar with the situation attach the greatest
importance to the rising of the warlike
Afridis. who are estimated to muster
25,OO0 fighting men. The Afridis, how
ever. only form part of the insurgents.
A letter from India published in the
Standard emphasizes the belief that the
Sultan is at the back Of the whole up
rising.
The afternoon newspapers comment
severely upon what they term the Mar
quis of Salisbury's bad diplomacy.
The St. James Gazette says: THE
moral of the whole story is that we,
who have fifty million Mohannmedans
in our Eastern empire, have chosen to
present ourselves to the whole as the
chief enemy of the Sultan whom the
general majority of that creed look upon
as their head in religious matters. II
we had succeeded in inspiring real ter
ror, the harm done would have been
less"
The scene of the rising has the Khyber
Pass for its centre. The plan of the
British commanders is to draw the in
surgents to the vicinity of Jamrud, which
is strongly fortified, close to the Indian
mouth of the pass, having Poshawur and
Kohat for bases and where the British
number about II 900 men.
The policy of the Afridis is to tempt
the British into the hills and spurs of
the pass.
Fort Maude is a small stone fort over
looking the road four miles up the pass
from Jamud.
Fort Ali-Musjid is five miles and d
half further up. There the pass is forty
feet wide.

of war, ladies of the G.. A. r., and the
Association of Nurses; held their con-
ventiOn and there were many receptions
given by and to the ladies of the auxil-
iary associations
A trip on the lake participated in by
about two thousand ladies was one of the
pleasantest of the many entertainments.
This evening there were a number OF
camp fires for the men and receptions
and musical entertainments for the la
dies.
