MILLER CAUGHT
One Of the Prescott Escapes Is Now
in Jail

PRESCOTT, Ariz., May 15-Deputies
Fletcher, Fairchild and Cade Selvy of
Conino County, succeeded in the cap
ture of L. c. Miller, one of the men who
escaped Jail with Parker Sunday. He
was caught at Jerome, where he had
been in hiding a day or two. While
wounded twice, he states that he re-
ceived them from Jailer MeeLor's pis-
tol as they were getting away frop, the
Jail, and says further that the third
shot fired by Meador struck Conelia
passing through the body, but did not
strike vital spot. He says he lett
the others fifteen minutes after the es-
cape and hid in bushy canyon just
east of town till night. He was not
in the plot to escape, but refused to di-
vulge the names Of the other thee.
Their plans were laid for the day pre-
vious and they intended to hold up the
county treasurer and take all the money
in sight and shoot every one in their
way. Parker was particularly anxious
to get a shot at Sheriff Ruffner. The op-
portunity did not present itself and on
Sunday only three succeeded in getting
out. At Miller'S request he was taken
to Flagstaff to remain until the excite.
ment here subsided. Miller's brother was
released from custody, as there was TO
evidence whatever to connect him with
the escape. Miller confirms what has
been apparent from the first No one
outside knew of the plans or aided
in carrying them out.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, May 15.-Hen-
ry Bridgeman, an American stockman,
living near Monclova, Mexico, arrived
here today with news of a quadruple
tragedy just enacted en- the Hacienda

sion of her by force. He armed himself
with rifle and started for her home.
On the road he met Manuel Soils,
manager of the hacienda, accompanied
by the girls brothers. The boy and the
two men had some words, and Frausta
deliberately shot and killed them both.
Another brother of the girl arrived on
the scene and he was promptly shot
and killed. Before the boy got away
from the scene of the crime Manuel
Herrera came up and attempted his
capture. Herrera was also killed. The
murderer then proceeded to the girls
home and the two eloped and have not

A BUILDERS TRIAL

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-The en-

course was from Hunters point to Red
rock The vessel succeeded in attain
ing speed of thirteen knots an hour or
one knot more than required by the cor
tract Capt. Robert Forsyth was en-
gineer in charge for the Union iron
works. and Capt Charles Miner Goodal;

The report of the trip is to the effect
that the trial was exceedingly satisfac-

trouble about the vessels acceptance.
AS heretofore the eXt:a knot of speed has
called for handsome bonus.
The Marietta is small, twin screw
vessel, designed for duty in Chinese wa

dare not venture. The official trip will

THE AFRICAN CAMPAIGN
Italy Ready to Surrender Territory to
Egypt

ROME, May 15.-In the chamber OF
deputies today Premier Rudini de-
cleared that the governments plan in
Africa was to negotiate with Great
Britain for q recession Of Kassala to
Egypt. The ministers did not propose,
he added, to surrender other territory.
Massowah alone would be occupied by
the italian troops. The rest of Ery-
threa would be organized under native
rulers selected by Italy. Continuing,
Pemier Rudini asserted that the propo-
sal to abandon Massowah, the possess
sion Of which gave Italy great influence
in the regions of the Red Sea, might lead
to most serious international complica-
tions, since the period in which the gov
ernment program in Africa could be
carried out was uncertain.
The government demanded a credit
of 19,0000 900 lire for 1S97-9S.
The government, according to the pre-
mier, was prepared to obey the dictates
of the chamber of deputies but it was not
disposed to follow policy differing from
that already mentioned. The cabinet
would not remain in office If the chamber
of deputies expressed contrary opinion.
A scene of great excitement in the
chamber of deputies followed the state
mente of Marquis di Rudini Signor
Deminaris. on behalf of the Socialists,
and Signor Imbriani, on behalf of the
Radicals, offered resolutions looking to
the abandonment of Erythrea. Signor
Pozzi and other Rightists, proposed the
withdrawal of Italian troops from
Africa. These motions will be discussed
Monday.

YUMA INDIANS
Object to Being Put OFF Of Theil
Lands

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The dispute
over the alleged illegal occupancy of
lands in Lower California within the
Mexican domain by the Yuma Indians,
has broken out afresh and Minister Ro-
nero of Mexico has made formal COM
plant and called for their transfer
across the line to this side.
Mr.. Romero's complaint has been in
vestigated and a report has just been
made to him by the secretary of the in
terror through the state department.
Agent Estudillo of the Mission agency
in California was communicated with.
and he made a personal investigation.
He found the Indians opposed to any
change, claiming they had lived upon
the lands for many years without know
irg or recognizing any difference of gov
ernment, either Mexican or United
States They displayed commissions for
the land signed by Gov. Sanguines 4
long time ago, and asserted that the
absolute right to the lands belonged to
them. The Indians have lived along the
Colorado river on both sides of the Mexi-
can line ,and the agent reported there
was no way clear for making them
leave.

GIBSON REPLIES
To the Insinuations Made by Dur.
rants Attorneys

rants Attorneys
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-The Rev.
j. George Gibson, pastor of Emanuel
Baptist church, has made vigorous reply
to the covert charges and insinuations
hade against him by Eugene Deuprey,
Durrant's attorney, during the latters
plea for pardon before Gov. Budd. The
preacher says he does not intend to al
low himself to become a sacrifice for the
salvation of the life of a condemned
murderer. He points out that Mr.. Deu-
prey has been guilty of contradiction in
his reference to the pastor, for in his
eloquent address to the jury the attor-
ney spoke of the preacher as an inno-
guilty. DR.. Gibson makes strong point
by asserting that the address of Mrs
Noble, written by him in court during
the preliminary examination of Dur
rant, was written in imitation of the ad-
dress on the package Of rings, and there
fore is not a specimen of the usual writ =
ing of the minister. This statement
seems to remove the strength of what
Mr.. Deuprey termed the suspicious SIM
ilarity between the two writings
In conclusion Mr. Gibson asserts that
Mr. Deuprey would have made out
much better case for Durrant if the at
torney had courted the friendship of the
clergyman instead Of inviting his en-
nifty,

LEADVILLE, Col, May 15.-An

The arrangement for pumping will re-
suit in the employment of probably
2000 men within six months. 1t is thought
that by August the upper levels of the
working mines will be sufficiently dry to
permit the introduction of men, and
from that time on men will be continual

the properties are in full operation. II
is believed many repairs will be neces-

acres are included within the territory
of development which will be vigorous
