HUGHES MISSING
An Arizona omcial Charged With
Embezzlemeut

TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 14.-A warrant Of
arrest was issued this morning on the
complaint Of the board of directors Of
the Arizona Historical Society, charging
Fred G. Hughes with the forgery and
embezzlement of $4,000, the sum appro-
priated by the last legislature on behalf
of the Historical Society. It Is charged
that warrants for the appropriation were
secured by Hughes forging the names Of
the directors of the society, and he after
wards sold the warrants and apprOpri-
ated the money. Hughes has been clerk
of the Board of Supervisors Of Pima
county the last four years. 1t Is claimed
that there is a large shortage in the
funds entrusted to his hands on account
Of road and contingent funds. He was
informed Tuesday if he failed to make
good the warrants of the Historical So
ciety he would be removed as clerk Of
the Board of Supervisors. That night
an attempt was made to burn the court
house by making fire in cellar under
the Board of Supervisors rooms. which
was discovered in time to prevent the
destruction of the building.
Yesterday the investigation looked bad
for Hughes. He soon disappeared from
the city. His wherea bouts cannot be as
certained. Hughes was president Of the
last Arizona legislative council, one Of
the leaders of Arizona Democracy and
president of the Arizona Pioneer and
Historical Society, and chairman and
leading spirit of the legislative commit
tee created to investigate the Arizona
Board of Control. He was an inveterate
gambler He leaves a wife and twelve
children nearly destitute.
According to reports, Hughes left
town Wednesday evenig for his ranch in
the mountains. He left there this morn
ing at daylight for Mexico. The board
of supervisors asked for his resignation
as clerk yesterday, but Hughes did not
respond. He forged the name of w. C.
Davis to territorial warrants and sold
one for $1,000 to Dick Dawson Of the
Fashion saloon last night. ALL the off,
GERS are in pursuit Hughes is supposed
to be now in Mexico.

Indiana Newsboys Make Trouble for

the Police
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 14.-The
city was startled and the police were
kept busy for over ar hour last night by
a wild riot of newsboys on race lines.
Hundreds of urchins broke loose on the
downtown streets, whooping like wild
Indians, a about o'clock, and occasional
ly coming together and fighting in op-
posing squads like demons. The trouble
started in "Newsies' alley" upon which
the mailing rooms of the three leading
dailies front, in row between the negro
and white boys. At dusk a fighting or
ganization of Irish lads formed near the
Park Theater, and about the same time
the Eegro boys assembled north OF the
of the assembling and sent patrol wag-
ons to the scene to disperse them. They
succeeded in only breaking them up into
squads and led them a wild chase
through the streets and alleys, first one
gang in pursuit and then another. There
were frequent collisions of detachments
of the opposing races, and fists, clubs
and stones were freely used. The police
succeeded in capturing several of the
leaders on both sides, but it was o'clock
before quiet was restored upon the
streets. Three of the white boys had
broken heads-one of them, named
John Donohue, being severely hurt. One
negro boy suffered from broken arm,
another from broken leg, and several OF
them had flesh wounds.

A REMARKABLE INVENTION.
Io-Io-6rn

Mr.. Grant Brambel, telegraph
operator at Sleepy Eye, Mimi, has
been at work twelve years on new
type of engine, recently perfected
it, and has received an offer from
an English syndicate of 100000
for his rights-something over
$4,000 per year. After granting
the option he was obliged to reject
an offer of a raise of $4,000 by
another company. The inventor
has developed an entirely new
principle, whereby an engine devel-
oping forty horsepower can be
carried under a mans arm.
The largest one yet built, $50
horsepower, occupies space of
6xl8 inches on the floor, stands
less than two feet high, weighs 800
pounds, and has been running ten
months with perfect satisfaction.
In a very interesting account of
his invention given to the Mime
apolis Journal, Mr.. Brambel
says: 81 first got the idea Of ro-
tary engine from the turbine wheel.
/ couldn't see why steam couldn't
do what water did, especially when
steam had qualities that water
lacked and that were essential.
You know that when little tur-
bine is hit by a column of water
no bigger than your pencil some
thing has to 60. You take a
smaller wheel, mechanically cor
rect, and turn against it an inch
steam jet at 100 pounds or over,
and allow for the steam expansion
and why won't you get power? I
knew that it was necessary to get
the greatest possible development
of the steam expansion in order to
give success to my idea, and I
have been working along that line
for twelve years. 1t took a great
many models and "a great many
failures to get the thing right. [
have had engine after engine that
seemed to be perfect, and would
spin along like top, only to stop
when some unexplainable point
was reached. L have had problem
after problem, and finally, about
five years ago, L hit the machine
substantially as it is today. Since
then all the experiments have been
in the line of possible improve
ments, but 1 haven't found many,
and I think-I believe-it will be
hard to get anything simpler, more
powerful or better in it's way than
what [ have"
LATER-A late dispatch from
Sleepy Eye, Mimi, states that the
sale of the patent rights of the
Brambel rotary engine to the
Allen syndicate, of London, has
