Wild Horses.
[Southwestern Stoekman


 "Tbere must be ten thousand head ot wild horses loose in northern Arizona, ; said Will Barnes yesterday. "Over in our country, south of Holbrook they are the worst nJlsance that can be inn agined. It has got to the point tka We can't turn out a riding horse. We have to keep our saddle animals and roundup horses stabled all winter or bring them down to Phoenix to pasture. The wild stock not only eat up the feed that ought to go to the cattle. but 1 have chased of all the cattle from the west end of the Hash Knife range, one of the best grass districts in the north eastern part of the territory. it's use less to put out salt for the stock, for the horses chase awaV all the cattle that come near 1t. At this season of the year they are fat, with shining hides and they sweep over the country in great bands, gathering up any stray animals they may come across. A horse IS as good as lost that joins such a band.
 "There used t2 be time," continued the speaker, "When the circle 5 horses were considered the very best in all northern Arizona. If a man lad Cir cle $ pony he was sure to be well noun ted, and the value correspOnded. But since old Lot Smith passed oTef the divide his boys have let their horses run without atten tiou ull there must be 5000 of them, mainly without a brand.

That seems to be the ruling price for wild stock. l would be willing to take that for what horses have running on the range, and some of them are welI-bred and would be valuable if they were broken"
 The only time when 1t is possibla to capture any of the wild stock is in the early spring, before the grass has come and when the ponles are lean and weak. Then on the Esperanza ranch four men are mounted on horses especially trained and of speed and bottom. The wild horses are started just after they hove drank and are the more .'Iogy'' and bunch of the animals is cut off from the main herd and corraled.

A FIREMAN In NICARAGUA.
Joseph Patterson Had n Thirty-Day
Leave of Absence.

Joseph Patterson. formerly a fireman at
No. Is engine house and later transferred
TO headquarters on Massachusetts avenue,
has gone to Bluefield, Nicaragua, Central
America. 1t was rumored yesterday that
Patterson had obtained a thirty days leave
of absence some three weeks ago on the
understanding that he was going TO Gin
cinnati, when In reality he intended leav-
ing the country, and that he went away
from home without apprising the fire de-
partment or his family of his intentions.
1t was further reported that nothing had
been heard from the fireman until yester-
day, when one of the fremen at head
quarters received a letter from Central
America stating that he was there and in
tended to remain away forever.
Mrs. Patterson was seen by a representa-
tive of the Journal at her comfortable
home at 500 East Market street last night
and was greatly surprised at the story.
She pronounced the story that her husband
had left home secretly as a ridiculous ca
nard- She said that she knew his destina-

ton when he left home and had received
two letters from him while he was at New
Orleans and another dated from Central
America. Her husband is with Herbert

gagged, with his brother, s. ID. Spellman,
In the mahogany lumber trade, the broth
ers making shipments of that wood to Bos-
ton. 1t is said that Spellmans have found
the business very profitable, and when one
months ago he urged Mr.. Patterson to go
10 Central America and embark with them
in the lumber business. The fireman talked
the matter over with his family, and ii was
known TO others, and occasioned some gos-
sip. Mr.. Patterson, on this account de-
cided 10 keep his own counsel, and the
question of removal was not further dis
cussed except with his wife. Finally, when
all arrangements were completed, after
considerable correspondence, Mr.. Patterson
decided to go to Central America on a
prospecting expedition, informing his wife
that if he liked the country and found
things as satisfactory as he anticipated
that he would remain and have her join
him after he got settled in the new work.
on the fire force. Mrs. Patterson says
that her husband has about decided to
remain in the tropics. If he does not come
back his resignation will be handed in to
the Board of Public Safety.
Telephone Operator Tallentire, one of
Patterson's most intimate acquaintance,
laughed at the story circulated as being
supremacy ridiculous. He and others knew
where Patterson was going. Tailentire re-
ceived a letter from New Orleans, where
Patterson went TO take the Spellman boat,
which puts into that harbor for supplies
on the return trip from Boston to Central
America. Yesterday he also received a let
ter from Patterson describing his voyage
and the conditions he found. Patterson
said nothing TO him. however, about re-
naming away. Mr.. Tallentire says that
Patterson and the Speilmans were intimate
friends, almost from boyhood.
Charles Mcguire, president of the Board
of Safety, says that Mr.. Patterson asked
for a thirty days leave. without going
into particulars as to why he wanted it.
As he proposed to lose the time at his
own expense it was granted. This is not
an unusual occurrence. He said that OF
course if Mr.. Patterson did not return at
the end of the thirty days the board would
doubtless have to declare his post vacant
and appoint his successor. MIR. Mcguire
thought il not unlikely that the fireman
had asked a temporary leave of absence
in order that his place might be held for
him in case he decided that he did not care
TO make the change.

HIS SKULL LAID BARE
n. VI. FOSTER FOUND WITH TWO BAD
WOUNDS IN HIS HEAD.
A Mysterious Sort of AN A~ffair-Cut-
ting Affair in a Barrel House
"A Third Case.

Robert ". Foster, of SIS North Delaware
street. owner of Fosters restaurant, at "a
and Sc East Washington street, was picked
up by the city ambulance at the foot Of
the stairway leading into the Hereth block,
near his restaurant, about midnight last
night. with a large cut in the middle of his
forehead. He had been drinking and could
not give a very Ineligible account of the
accident. He said he had gone upstairs to
the room of a friend, but had missed his
footing and fallen to the bottom. DR.. Barr.
of the City Dispensary, says the wound
could scarcely have been made by falling
downstairs. a man simply rolls in falling
down a flight of stairs with as great a
slope as the stairs in the Hereth block.
and would not roll sufficiently fast TO make
such a wound. The cut is in the forehead.
just beneath the hair, and the bone is ex-
posed. There are two deep cuts, crossing
each other. One is more than two inches
long and the other is about two inches in
length The flesh is very badly bruised and
the wound appears to have been made with
a heavy. blunt instrument of some kind. 1t
was some time after the injury before Mr..
Foster was found by a friend who was
going into the building to his room. The
blood had ~coagulated and had run down
his neck and over his shirt, saturating him
to the skin.
He was taken TO the City Dispensary In
the ambulance, where the blood was
washed away and the wound dressed. He
was then taken to his home in a hack and
DR.. Morgan was called. 1t was necessary
to take "a good many stitches 10 close the
cut.
IL Mr.. Foster was assaulted by anyone IL
seems evident that robbery was not the
purpose. or the thieves were frightened
away too soon to secure anything. he
missed nothing from his pockets. He usu-
ally wears a large diamond ring, but did
not have it on his finger last night. 1t is
possible that thieves attacked him, hoping
TO get the ring, but, not finding il, were
scared away before they had an oppor-
tunity TO search his pockets for money.
