CAPTAIN POYEN'S FATE. He Attended a Large Duck Convention,
 but the Bank Caved.

Captain E. A. Poyen, of whose duck expedition to the Lower Gila and his forgetfulness of ammunition, making necessary the sending of boy back after it, was mentioned in The Re publican not long ago, has returned. The captains trip was marked by a series of misadventures. His success was indifferent and when he got ready to return to Phoenix his companions, who did not come back with him, advised him to follow the river road. It was not much longer and might af- ford opportunity for shooting. The river banks are precipitous and in many places from eight to fifteen feet high. At one point Captain Poyen saw couple of ducks floating on the river. He crept cautiously to the edge of the steep bank and looked over The world lay before him.All the ducks of Arizona were assembled in a terri tcria1 convention. The river was black with them on the lee shore and it seemed hardly possible that single shot could be wasted, so densely packed were they. The captain unlim- bered his gun and trained it upon the center of the mass. With finger on each trigger he paused for an instant to calculate the slaughter. But that instant's pause was fatal, for there came with it sloughing off of the bank. The captain was precipitated into the water and the gun went of in the air. When the captain returned to the bank the duck convention had adjourned and all the delegates were on their way home.

However, they have come upon the field of investigation at an opportune time, for, according to the Associated Press dispatches of, yester- day, the objects of their care and pro- tection have just murdered five white men, E.

CHAPLAIN SCOTTs LECTURE.
Interesting Recollections of Half
 Century, at the Baptist Church.

Those who attended the lecture de- livered by Chaplain Winfield Scott at the Baptist church last evening were treated to something that savored of the reminiscent and in a great meas ure of a humorous character. John W. Owen post, G. A. R., complimented the speaker by appearing in a body
 The chaplain told of his Kansas farm ing, pecially in raising spuds, and in summing the results, said that the widows got the potatoes and the. Lord and himself the experience. He wished the reporters to repeat his remarks relative to passes (why, he did not explain), which he thought railway officials should always send to clergy men, who did more to build up small communities than other mortals. In his mining experiences the. chaplain sa1d he tried to set the Lord up in business, but 1t was a grand failure. After one effort he had enough of that sort of thing; and, he added, going on another fellows note was not in his line, for he had to stand 1t once and that was lesson The chaplain recounted host of experiences and mentioned his appointment to chap la1ncy at the mouth of the Colum bia. He thought the assignment fell to bis lot because he was a Baptist, for he found that during the major part or the time it rained there, or that he got ducking while making occasion al trips with the life saving servce. General O. o. Howard he lkened to Havelock, and spoke of the veteran Christian soldier in eulogistc terms.
