COMPLICATED
New Twensy.tbird Street Ferryss Ir-
regular Time Fable.

cSufn elme Fable
There was a large number of disap-
pointed people in the Pennsylvania ferry
house shortly after seven o'clock last
night. Judging by their experience on
Sunday, when the new Twenty-third
street ferry was opened, they had the
idea that the boats ran every half hour
on the five minutes before the hour and
the twenty-five minutes after. These
people had come to take the TBS boat
When they arrived there was no boat in
the slip and it was eight o'clock when
finally the boat did come. Then there
was another long. weary wait of fifteen
minutes before the boat started.
The schedule on which the boats run
Is somewhat complicated and at that time
of the evening no trip is made from this
side between 7:2O and SIS. just ffty-fve
minute From this side the first boat
leaves at 6:15 A. NJ. and the next GAS.
Then there is one at TBS and another 7:45.
From 1925 to 11:55 they run on Sundays
schedule. Then comes one at 1885. los.
l:25, 2:06 ,2:25 n 2:55, and every half
hour to 4:45. Then they begin at 5:25 and
run every half hour to 7:2O. The next is
at Sis. $3.50. 8, and then every half hour
until 1l:45. and then 1925, which is the
last trip.
From the New York side the schedule
IS more regular. The first boat leaves
els, and then at 6:45 and TBS, after which
they run every half hour regularly until
3:l5 F. M. The next is at 1856. and every
half hour until TAO. 1855 and S:35. The
after until 1l:25. The last boat leaves at
1910 A. NJ.

PIUTE MURDERER SLAIN.

KINGMAN, Ariz., May Is, 1se7.-The
killing of Ahvote was confirmed last
night. Piutes Steve and Peete, cousins of
the murderer, waylaid and shot him forty
miles below Eldorado Canyon, the Nevada
side of the river. While lying mortalIy
wounded they asked him his reason for
killing the whites. He said
Heap mad at Indians. Wanted kill
somebody"
After talking with him for some time
they shot him in the head, killing him
instantly. Couriers here went to the
white camps to inform them of the red
fend's death. The Indian nature is dis
played in the fact that Ahvote stopped
over night with Judge Morton and in
the morning ate breakfast and then killed
the old man. Sheriff Prudential, of
Lincoln County, arrived at the Colorado
River shortly after the killing of Ahyote
and Immediately took up the trail of
Mouse, the murderer of Davis and Stearns.
Of National City and San Diego, Calf. He
took with him two FLUTES who shot
Ahvote. Sheriff Rosborough left Wander
bilt with a posse and two trailers and will
apprehend Mouse should he show up in
