FROM AR.ZOSA.-Indian School,
Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. l, lS9S.-Since
I've located myself beyond the
Rockies from my native land, the
thought often recurs to me "What
has become of the people in dear old
Bath Coz" 1 have scarcely heard
one word from Ky. since last sum-
mer, and 1 feel that the only way
possible to keep posted in regard to
the doings of the people Of my native
land is just to subscribe for The
OUTLOOK.
1 have entered the service of the
U. S. and am working as teacher in
the Indian School located here. This
is next to the largest Indian school
in the U. s., there being enrolled
during the last quarter sos children
of the natives. This school is located
in the Salt River valley near the
city Of Phoenix, a place of about
twelve thousand inhabitants, and
rather a typical Southern city. Still
there is quite great deal of the Nor
thern energy and rustle-there are a
great many Northern people here, as
it is quite winter resort. 1 heard
the remark not long since that Chi
cagO would soon own Phoenix.
asked why this was so. The answer
was that many Chicagoans came
here because of the delightful WIN
ters. This is my first year here, and
surely We have beautiful weather
during the fall, and 1 am told that it
scarcely ever rains or frosts and new
er SHOWS. We have an abundance of
tropical fruits and fiowers,-roses are
blooming as beautifully here today
as in spring day there. The palms
are very large. The umbrella and
cottonwood are the principal shade
trees. Alfalfa is the grass. 1 have
said IF Arizona only had Kentucky
bluegrass it would be a truly garden
spot" While we are in valley as
level as floor not far away the lofty
mountain peaks are seen rising pre-
cipitously from the valley. The
mountains are not So beautiful as our
Eastern mountains because they are
so barren of vegetation.
You may think that as we have SO
little moisture that the country is
very barren, but not so. The land is
irrigated so successfully that the
country seems to be very prosperous
The farmers have beautiful homes
and plentiful crops.
There are a great many object oi
interest here. 1 am going to visit al
ostrich farm this afternoon. Ylars
are large orange orchards near, and
also pomegranates and figs.
We have beautiful grounds anG
handsome buildings, which are be nc
increased just now by four i"rg.

A PIi@hted Life.

(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
The story OF George y. Thompson who
is held at the county jail on warrant for
insanity, is a sad one. Held a prisoner in
the State penitentiary for the past four
teen years, he has little hope of ever
again breathing the air of freedom. He
Will doubtless end his days in the State
insane asylum.
In 1883, when he was but twenty years
old, he became acquainted with Miss Lucy
Lawton. a very handsome young woman
then employed as clerk in a dry goods
store. The two became lovers but soon
drifted apart by reason of the woman's
apathy Disappointed and enraged he
attempted TO murder her with a razor.
He cut the woman's throat from ear to
ear. Then he fed from the house, leaving
his victim bleding to death. Some one
had heard the scuffle and rushing into the
room saved the woman's life She is liV
ing today. with a deep cash. about Ther
neck TO remind her of that terrible en-
counter
Thompson was arrested and found guilty
of cutting to kill. In 1855 Judge McMath
sentenced him to serve twenty years in
the penitentiary. Thompson became one
of the most docile and easily-managed
prisoners in the institution, and was al
his sentence was shortened and this week
it would have ended and he would have
been a free man had not a remorseless
and ever-gnawing conscience been making
life miserable for him.
Night and day, sleeping or walking
for the past year he has murmured the
name of Lucy, and begged on his knees
that she be sent to him. He wrote her
long letters which She never received and
then waited anXiously for the answers
which never came. Thompson was an ar
ment of the time when not otherwise en-
pioyed he drew pictures of the woman he
thought he loved in every part of his cell
and on every scrap of paper that fell
into his hands. Some of the pictures
showed woman with all the graeesa and
condescensions of a queen and others
looked more like a vixen. Soon Thompson's
mania became worse and he was confined
in the insane department of the peniten-
tiary. So piteously did he beg that he
was allowed to keep his pencil and paper
and picture, faded and frayed of the
one for whom he gave up his liberty in
a fit of anger.
Tuesday his term of Imprisonment ex.
pired and Deputy Sheriff Joe Klien went

Cleveland. Wednesday George sat in his

before Judge White for an inquest of lu-

in his hand and gazed long and earnestly
