Hidden Cave Discovered
in the Superstition
Mountains.
AriZonanS Locate the Hiding
Place of the Notorious
RsdSkin.
Almost Inacc sssib'e Cavern In tho
Side OF a Precipltous
Incline.

PHOENIX, ARIz.. July 2i.-Two men OF
reputed veracty. J. M. Burnett and w. H.
Bonsall, who have recently returned from
| a trip in the Superstition Mountains, give
a very graphic description of wonderful
| mountain rendezvous that they discov.
cred in their journeyings. 1t is known as
Apache Kid's' cave, and white men are
less acquainted with its interior than they
have been with Cochise's famous strong
hold in the Dragoon Mountains For six
or seven years the kid" is known to
have rendezvoused in this retreat and it
afforded him d safe shelter after his MUIR
der of Johnnie Dobie. the 17-year-oId boy,
at Frazler's ranch, which is the last kill.
| ing the "Kid" is known to have COM
mitted.
The lads body was found by his uncle,
Simeon Majors, who was foreman Of the
ranch. The killing of his nephew inter.
ested him TO such an extent in the
| Apaches that he has ever since been in
dustrlously engaged in the manufacture
of RATA made from Indian hair. He ex-
hibited the riata to Burnett and Bonsall,
and declared that only few feet more
were needed to complete the rope. By
what persuasion he induces the Apaches
to contribute their hair is unknown, but
Burnett and Bonsall are of the opinion
that physical violence of sometimes a
mortal nature is often resorted to by the
old man.
The kids" cave is three miles from
Bark's ranch, ana so situated that the
mouth of it Overlooks tie surrounding
country for mills The opening is ap-
preached by a steep incline of not less
than fifty degrees and is about 400 fee in
length. The mouth is about seventy feet
wide. At the top of the arch tuft of
green vine or grass has grown through
the rock above, hanging down like an
orchid. Il is about sixty fee from the
opening to the rear wall of the cave, while
the length of the cave. parallel with the
face of the outer wall, is a bout 170 feet.
| The height is thirty-five feet. the rear
wall is covered with a crystalline salt de-
post.
About the cave were many traces of
deer and mountain lions. The deer cams
| to lick the salt and the lions to lick The
deer. Many evidences of Indian occupa.
| ton sull remain, and there is large
| quantity OF brushwood for fuel. Surround
| ing the mouth OF the cave is large, level
| platform, most difficult OF access AMI
offering a splendid vantage point for a
marksman like the kid, - or any of his
band. With ammunition and food in
such a stronghold the KID could and
| did hold out again nst ali the soldiers in that
part of the Territory.

IDAHO'S LEGISLATIVE SCANDAL.
Failure of The Attempt to Expsi Members
Implicated by the Bribery
ExDose

BOISE. IDAHO, March S.-The report of
the committee investigating the bribery
charges in the matter of the election of
United States Senator Heitfeld came up
for consideration in the Legislature to-day
and decidedly warm discussion ensued.
The report declares that II. S. JONES
did on several occasions try to procure
money surreptitiousy from different per-
sons; that, while the evidence against
Perkins is not so strong as that against
JONES, the former is highly culpab BILE. The
report says that the evidence discloses
that money had been freely offered for
corrupt purposes by other persons, and
recommends that both JONES and Perkins
be expelled from the house.
A motion III the Legislature to adopt
the resolution in regard to Perkins resulted
% for and % against, and the Sneaker cast
the deciding vote against, thus saving
Perkins.
The motion to adopt the report in re-
gard to JONES was carried unanimously,
but the resolution to expel him from the
House failed to carry by vote OF 26 to 16.
The action of the House in refusing to
make an example of both JONES and
Perkins is severely criticized. and it is
asserted that the reason tor the action
of the mem bers in the matter is that
many of them are no less culpable than
the two who have been bublicly accused.

Mrs Beecher deserves to be known even
better than this. There is much in her daily
life and character to appeal to students of
human nature. She has apparently discovered
two great secrets which most human beings
die without finding out-the secret OF per-
petual youth and the secret of conten tment

Furor Created in Santa

Exploit.
Leaves the City a Ganymede and
Returns a Modern
Rosa!ind.
To Earn a Living She Adopted Male
Garb and a Populace Was
Deceived.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, March S.-Several
months ago smooth-faced, good looking
young man, going by the name of "Billy"
Johnson, arrived in this city looking for
work. He was not fastidious as to his
employment, as long as it yielded him
living, and often earned an honest penny
by splitting and cording stove wood. He
at last secured a steady place in a restau-
rant on Main street., where he became
great favorite with the customers because
Of his polite and affable ways.
But the restaurant-keeper's wife took
an unaccountable dislike to Billy" and
insisted upon his discharge. Vainly the
husband pointed out the good qualities
and popularity of his black-eyed, dapper
little waiter. BILLY" had to go.
Just where he went no one seems to
know, but when he returned correctly at
tired as modern, up-to-date young lady,
and it became definitely known that
BILLY" was girl, the surprise created by
the change can be easily imagined. Many
of the young waiter former associates re-
fused to believe the reports, and this after
noon the house where "Miss Billy" is
stopping was besieged by callers. She re-
ceived her old companions with hearty
uduusHdhc, anu Secmeu SledIiy piedseu
when omplimented upon her improved
appearance.
One of the walters in the restaurant
where Billy" formerly worked and with
whom BILLY" formerly roomed learned
of his room mates change of condition to-
day, and absolutely refused to believe the
story until brought face to face with her.
1t is sald that the young woman has
always led correct life, and she claims
to have been forced to thus masquerade in
order to earn an honest living.
