 encountered with their shares of it. They were too big already. Neither was the bill extending Maricopa's boundaries repealed, for the adjoining counties were willing to contribute to- ward the enlargement.
 But the loss of the prison was a serious affair, for the prison at that time would have been worth more to Phoenix than a dozen capitals.
 Wh en the legislature adjourned the deep indignation of the northern members was still on them. They drove through Phoenix in a funeral procession on their way home. In- stead of stopping, they camped on the desert north of town.
 The rest is history. Prescott tried to seize the capital two years later and failed, but did acquire it in 1877.

CHICKENS $2,0oO EACH.
Singed Under the Provisions of the
 Funding Act.

Captain Hi McDonald nearly put the territory into hole and affected its credit abroad lately. When the office s of the territorial treasurer was being moved last summer Captain Mcdonald by virtue of his office of commissioner of the court of Justice Johnstone, who is also territorial treasurer, was as sisting. However, that was before Captain Mcdonald became commis sioner, but that is immaterial.
 Among the books and documents of the treasurer's office was lot of sam- pie school books received from pub fishing houses for inspection by the treasurer. who is eX-officio member of the territorial board of education. These books were of no use to the territory and Captain Mcdonald concluded to take them home Some of the books were still in the large packages in which they were sent and some were not. The captain took large package to his residence but on opening it found that sit did not contain books but large sheets of very heavy paper beautifully Autographed in many colors and strange designs. The paper seemed to be of no service, but everything real Iy has it's uses. One day the captain killed a chicken and having plucked the larger feathers out began looking about for some paper with which to singe the pin feathers He thought of the finely Autographed paper and used two sheets of it. It burned slowly and evenly so that the chicken was sfnged much better than if common print pa- per had been employed. After that, whenever a chicken was killed the captain would use no other paper in singeing it. After awhile he fell to worrying about the time when the pa psr, would be all gone and he would have to fall back on ordinary paper. He counted the sheets in the package and found there were 252. He had used eight Then he made discovery of so startling character that his hair turned a shade winter. Those sheets of paper were territorial fund ing bonds of the denomination of $1,- 900 each with coupons attached. With In two weeks the single item of chick ems for the Mcdonald table had cost $8,00O with accrued interest. No human being had ever died in Phoenix d-anq had been buried with such a princely disregard of expense as had attended the funeral of each of those ' Mcdonald chickens.
 The captain spent day and a night contemplating the inroad made upon the public funds. At last he resolved to face the situation like a man. He first w-ute out his resignation of the office of court commissioner to which he was then preparing to elect him. self and putting 1t in his pocket he carried what was left of thar $260.000 bond issue down to Justice John stones office.
 sr The nearer he got to the office the heavier the bends became. Once in- side he laid the package carefully on a

"rHE CRIME OF ,7s."
Committed by Maricopa County and
 the Punishment.

It is a matter of fact, though, per haps. not of history, that the very ex- istence of Maricopa county was nearly sacrificed to it's greed. The country barely saved it's integrity of square miles, but lost the faith of it's neigh bors, lost the territorial prison, gained the i'll will of the rest of Arizona, en- tailing commercial and political dis advantages which have not been at this date, January 1T, 1898, wholly re- moved And that was a quarter of century ago, in the legislature of 1873. There were then, only five delega- tions in the legislature, Pima, Yavapai, Maricopa, Yuma and Mohave. The two large ones were Pima and Yava- pal. Mohave was with Yavapai, and Maricopa and Yuma were unattached in interest, But weak as Mar.copa was it was ambitious and readily entered into a combination 70 remove the cap ital from Tucson to Prescott. Mari copa was to receive in return for it's support of the removal bill, the terri torial prison and an extension of it's northern and southern boundaries to the lines they now occupy There was no opposition anywhere in the territory to the extension of the boundaries, for that would be a measure of public good without individual loss or incon- venience. But both Pima and Yuma strenuously objected to the moving of the prison. The capital removal ! bill was passed, as were subsequently l the prison removal bill and the boun- dary extension bill, and all were signed by Governor Stafford. Then Pima county in a spirit of retaliation against Yavapai, proposed to give the Ma1copas the rest of the earth, see 1 ing they had already hogged so much l of 1t. Another combination was | formed, this time between Maricopa and Pima, the only condition of which was that the capital was to be re- moved from Prescott to Phoenix. The bill was drawn and but for a single days delay in which YavapG had time to pull itself together and afford ob- stacles until the conspirators were obliged to fall back on the two-thirds rule, it would have been passed. I;
 would probably have passed anyhow
 but Prescott preferred to give the cap
 ital back to it's strong enemy than
 to see it fall Into the hands of trait
 ors.
 Another bill was passed res bring tn
 capital to Tucson, and Col. Head o1
 the Yavapai delegation invented g punishment for Maricopa. A bill wa; 1 passed restoring the prison to Yuma and another was proposed for the dis memberment of Maricopa, restoring
 the parts to the counties out of whict 1t had originally been formed.
 There was terror in Maricopa then but the bill was naver urged. fol

table and sat down beside 1t pale and perspiring A trial was going on an exciting block Al case-but none of the tumultuous testimony adduced di- verted the eye of Captain McDona,d from that package for an instant, nor did he at any time withdraw his hand from it. He sat there until the trial was concluded and the last loafer had passed out into Wall street. Then in low and trembling voice he told the territorial treasurer how he had been singeing chickens at the public ex- pense. He feared, he said, that he had committed an offerse not only against the territory but also against lthe fed eral government, since the United States had by the funding act guaran- teed the payment of those bonds.
 It turned out though that the af- fair was less appalling than it seemed to be, and Captain Mcdonald was saved by brace of circumstances. One was that the bonds had never been signed and the other one was that they never would be, for John Dillon. the eminent corporation counsel, had given an opinion that the bonds were worth less since the administration which had issued them had gone out of DOW CT without having put them on the market.
 Those blank bonds are still in the territorial treasury. Captain McDon- aid declined to carry them back home with him. He said that whenever he should sfnge chicken with one of them the 1ickering flames would con- Jure up the memory of an awful day and a more horrible night. Persons having chickens to be singed with thoroughness and ostentatiou should take them to the office of the terri torial treasurer

IN THE WRONG PEW.
Story Recalled by the Second Burial of
 James Braswell.

The body of James B. Rraswell whose death has already been de- scribed in these columns and who was buried last Thursday, was taken up on Saturday and reburied in the confed- crate cemetery. It may be said and the saying is based on a thrilling story often told by MT. Braswell and a com panion named Crowley, tha. MT. Bras well Is seated in the wrong pew. Braswell and Crowley came to th.s ter rtory together and the story they have told to Robert Grigsby and eth CTS is as follows: Both enlisted in the war, on the side of the confed- eracy. They joined an Alabama regi- ment. After year or two they grew dissatisfied and deserted Thsy were captured, brought back and confined in a guard house as punishment. Soldiers were in too much demand at that stage of the war to be subjected to the usual punishment inflicted upon deserters. They escaped the second time by knocking a guard down. They were captured a second time, returned and confined. They made a third es- cape and were captured. The con federacy was convinced by this time that the re-enlistment of the sympa- thies of .Braswell and Crowley in the cause of the south was a more hope less task than the conquest of the north. So the deserters were sen tencedvto, be shot the next morning at sunrise.
 AS they sat in the guard house a. midnight a thought came to Braswell Said he: "Let us try one more run The chances are that we won't make it.. We'll most likely get killed, but what of that? We'll only shorten our years by five hours'' They made an other run and in doing it killed a guard, but they got away Their flight was discovered instantly, but they were soon lost in the darkness Before daylight they entered a dense swamp and were making their way toward Sherman, wno was burning and devastating strip of country forty miles wide on his way to the sea.
 They were pursued by blocdhounds and were Overtaken by one of the i beasts in the afternoon of their first 1 day out. The bloodhound caught | Crowley's right hip, but by the i'm petuosity of the attack lost his grip, tearing away the skin and flesh and laying bare a great area of bone The ! animal sprang at Crowley again. This time he caught him on the right side and retained his hold He would not l be beaten off by BraswelIs ponderous 1 kicks. The deserters had little time to lose, for men were following the dog Braswell picked up the bloodhound by his hind legs and Crowley walked into water above his waist. When the dog released his hold to come to the sur.
 face after air, Crowley seized him by
 the neck and held his head under
 water until the hound forever lost his
 sense of smell. Then the deserters
 took up their journey and a few days
 later they reached that forty-milt
 swath which Sherman had been mow.
 ing through Georgia. They followed
 along the swath until they came UT
 with the mowers and became them
 selves implements of destruction
 They foupht with Sherman until tht
 whole affair between the north ani
 thesouth was fixed up at Appomattox
