The Herald account was otherwise inadequate and left any one of several things to be in- ferred, one of which was that this ter ritory by reason of its growing inn portance needed two governors Other Herald readers might have surmised that there was vacancy in the guber- material chair caused by the death of Governor McCord, Still others in the absence of any other information than the Hera1d's bare statement of facts might have imagined that the gov ernor was persona non grata and had been pushed of.

A TERRIBLE ORDEAL.
The Way Patagonians Have of Choos-
 ing Their King.

The system used by Patagonians when selecting king to rule them in peace and lead them in war is as fol- lows Every ten years fleet footed couriers are dispatched throughout the length and breadth of Patagonia to summon the able bodied men of the nation to a grand powwow at some central point in the great plains. When the braves are all assembled and the king has called the meeting to order, volunteers for the position of ruler for the ten years to follow are called for.
 The king of Patagonia rules but for ten years, and then a new monarch is selected. Nobody is barred who wishes to undergo the ordeal through which a ruler of these people must pass, whether hesb be member of their race or not. The Patagonians love a brave man above everything and like wise despise a coward. and any man, be his skin white, black or brown, who is able to successfully undergo the ter rible torture to which all aspirants to the kingly scepter are put is good enough in the eyes and estimation of these strange people to be invested with the mantle of sovereignty over all the Patagonians and given power to rule that might be envied by czar.
 The details of the ceremony show torture of the most revolting kind, and the man who can gO through the or deal without wincing must surely be possessed of heroic heart Two hun dred or 300 of the stalwart braves of 1 the tribe generally volunteer to under 1 go the torture Each is led in turn to tree, against which he is told to stand erect, with his arms held straight uI above his head and against the trunk of tree. Then one of the old men ot l the tribe. selected by the braves to perform the ceremony, seizes stone i hammer of native mold and proceeds to nail the aspirant to a kingship to the tree with rivets made of wood of wonderful hardness which is found in that part of the world These riv- cts are driven through the hands oi l the applicant and through the f1eshy portions of his lower limbs.
 l If the volunteer should stand this | horrible torture without murmuring and without giving external evidence Of suffering, he is hailed with mighty exclamation and pronounced fit to un- dergo the finishing touches of the ceremony, which consist of selected number of the braves approaching the transfXed applicant with mocking ges- lures and cries of derision and each jabbing him in the fieshy parts of his
 body with small, sharp darts and
 spears.

AN ATTACHMENT SUIT.
Goods That Are Seen, but Not Felt
 May Not Be Seized.

After a trial in Justice Kincaid' court lasting nearly all week of the case of McElrcy vs. Constable John Beck for the possession of property, judgment was rendered for the defendant yester- day. The suit had it's origin in an ac- tion by Dr. c. D. Belden against R. A. Brett to collect bill of $2S0 for pro fessiOnal services. The plaintiff was given judgment and an execution was ordered. Constable Beck attached lot of machinery and personal prop erty which McElroy, the father of Mrs. Brett, claimed, and in substantia- tion of his claim presented bill of sale. The defense contended that though the date of the bill of sale was prior to that of the seizure of the property it was really executed after ward. Whether or not the court en- tertained the view advanced by the de- fense was not stated. though in ren- dering judgment he certainly did not regard that document
 The judgment, however does not cover all the property involved in the suit. A pant of it was In room, the door of which was locked. The laws of this territory do not authorize an officer armed with a writ of attach ment to break doors down, so the con- stable remained outside and viewed his prey through a window. He made an itemized list of whatever was in sight and included it in his returns. It was not necessary to complete the work of attachment that he should actually seize it at that time It would have been sufficient if he could have taken it afterward, but as a matter of fact it was never actually and legally in his possession and SO could not be held under the attachment.

4 RELATED BULLETIN.
Construed by the Herald to Be "To-
 days News Today"

''Today's news today" is the vail of the Phoenix Herald. It has as much
 meaning in the Herald columns as would these two self-evident truths, Virtue is it's own reward" and the "Lion is the King of Beasts" The trouble with the Herald is that it is not always able to recognize news when it meets it labeled on the street. Fer instance, a governor of Arizona was appointed yesterday, an event of importance and usually as rare as a presidential election. The Republican saw that it was news and is- sued an extra informing the people of the appointment Thus the news was labeled as news, and the Herald which was not issued until two hours later, was given time and opportunity to avail itself of it. But the Herald failed to recognize it as news and

 Wien at last man is found who is able to go through the ordeal without sign of fear or an evidence of suffer- ing, he Is at once released and is then and there proclaimed king of the Pata- gonfans for the ten years to follow. His power is absolute, and the reverence with which his subjects regard him amounts almost to the worship of a god.
 Dr. w. B. Purcell of Tucson, who has just returned from an eight days sojourn in the Santa Catalina noun tains, reports the stock ranges fairly alive with rich green grass.

The Spanish Press.

Are the American newspapers as
ignorant of Spanish affairs as the
Spanish newspapers are ignorant of
American affairs?
Specializing upon what Spain should
do with the United States when she
has conquered this nation, FL Pals
says:
"The country is not fit to live in.
The climate is eXecrable. When it is
not sleeting or showing the heat is
almost unbearable. AValanches are
frequent at all times, and these
threaten the principal cities. As for
the people, besides the few whites en-
gagged in business along the eastern
coast, the remainder of the country is
one vast plain covered with Indians
called cowboys, and great herds OF
roaming cattle"
In one of its recent issues Ell Heral-
do says:
"News is brought to US that Buffalo
Bill, notorious outlaw and leader OF
a band Of half-breedS, has risen
against the American government,
and is burning towns near MS birth
place in New York"
Another Madrid journal, FL Heral-
do, under a late date, says:
"All the troops of the Yankees are
in the far western partOf the country
many Thousand miles from the Allan
tic coast. There are only few thOuS-
and men all told, and they are i'll paid
and not willing to fight. To utilize
this force it will be necessary to bring
it to the eastern seab0ard. There is
but one railway by which it can be
transported and that is an old and
poorly constructed affair. At one
place this road passes over Niagara
falls, a cataract 1000 feet high, near
Labrador"
