CREATE A SCENE.
Two Women and a Man Center of
ObserXatiou.

Considerable excitement was occasioned
late yesterday afternoon on 18th street
northwest, opposite the treasury building
by man. who gave his name as George
NJ. Wilson: his wife, and Lillian Mason, the
two women pulling the man all over the
street. Policeman Lewis thought tho trio
were attracting too much attention and
took them to the first precinct station.
Lieut.. Amiss heard the statement of the
officer and decided that no law had been
Violated by the parties, whereupon he re-
leased them.
1t is alleged that each woman claims to
be the wife of Wilson. but the latter re-
pudtates the assertion, so far as it relates
to the one last mentioned.
1t is said that when Cardinal SatoIli re-
sided here Miss Mason was his private Sec
retary. She mas. it is reported, upbraided
Wilson several times in public recently for
his course toward her. Wilson asserted
that Miss Mason has followed him all over
the world. and he has paid her thousands
of dollars to keep away from him.

THE DOUGLASS MONUMENT.
1t Was Not Unveiled Yesterday, but
Exercises Were Held.

Although the monument to Fred. Doug
lass the coored orator, was not ready for
dedication, as had been promised, eXer-
Cises commemorative Of his services in be-
half offreedom were held at Rochester N.
Y, yesterday.
John C. Dancy, collector of customs at
Wilmington, n. c., who knew Douglass in
timately, delivered the principal address,
reviewing the life of the anti-slavery agi-
tator. Several of the speakers expressed
the hope that the time would come when
there would be actual equality between the
races.
In his address Mr.. Dancy said:
Mr.. Douglass always insisted that we
must not be measured by the heights to
which we have attained, but rather by the
depths from which have come These
depths were lower than those from which
Garfield came-and he drove a canal boat;
or from which Grant came-and he was q
tanner; or Lincoin-and he was a rail-split-
ter. Douglass came from the depths far
beneath any Of these-for he was a slave
and had to go further to reach their start
ing point than either of them went in the
entire journey of their triumphs Wisely
and philosophically did he remark. i'm
mediately after the war closed, at a great
meeting held in DR.. Sunderland's church:
It's a long way from the cornfields of
Maryland to DIR. Sunderland's Church in
Washington The actual distance was
only about twenty miles, but 1t took Mr..
Douglass forty years to go the Journey
like Moses, forty years in the wilderness.
He has told me that he walked the decks
of steamers that piled between the ports
Of New York and Boston, because he was
denied accommodation elsewhere And vet
even this affront to his sensitive nature
did not curb his ambition, relax his efforts
to uplift himself and his race or shoulder
the burning fires of his manhood Obstacles
which would have absolutely sapped the
vitality and the hopes of almost any other
man seemed to be to him an inspiration.
which nerved him to more superhuman ef-
fort and more tranacendant triumphs."

been far less serious had it not been for the invasion of the sheepmen from Apache and Navajo counties who came through here last fall on their way tc Salt river valley with from 10000 to so, 900 sheep which denuded the country as would plagne of grasshoppers. They ate out the whole country at Clo- yer Springs, then overrnn my..horse range on Red Rock, cleaned that up, used my corral and nte up the salt had for my horses. They next came into Delshay basin, where most of my cattle range; used my corral there, cleaned mp all the grass, and passed on like a marauding army toward Phoenix. IL was not so very long thereafter that the sheep began to return and during the winter and spring they have eaten out all the country east of Tonto, for twelve or fifteen miles south of me and ali around Greenback. Now the outfits have started north and have been herd ing within mile or so of my house.
 It does seem as though they intend to starve out the cattlemen of this sec tion. suppose they think no cue has any rights but the sheepmen. Now if We can have no recourse; if law can not be passed to protect us in our rights we will be forced to sell out and give the sheepmen the country. l tell you it looks rough to go out on the range and see the cattle starving md thou sands of sheep around our doors, be- longing to men who have no residence and pay no taxes in this county, and who claim they have tine right to herd where ever they please.
 This question is important not alone to the cattlemen, but directly affects Gila county, as, if the inroads of tue sheepmen are permitted to continue, the cattlemen must move, and tte rev. enues of tho county will be diminished. l hope some remedy will be sug gested and applied in the interest of the law-abiding cattlemen and taxpayers of Tonto basin, and other portions oi Gila county that have suffered from the same cause.
