ANIMATED LEAVES.
A Harmless Insect Was a. the Bottom of
II


A party of Spanish soldiers, landing
on the coast of Florida TO procure fresh
water, were alarmed by seeing, sup
posed shower of leaves suddenly become
animated, jumping, walking, futtering
over the ground. They left, declaring
that the place was be witched. One of
them averred that on their retreating
the trees started in pursuit.
How those brave men would have
stared had they known that it was only
a harmless insect that was at the bottom
o. it all!
The Philium scythe, or leaf insect,
leads a sluggish life, making its home on
the branches of tree. Its body is very
thin and fiat, its large wings shaped,
veined, and colored exactly like a leaf.
When disturbed it tucks its legs under
its body, thus perfecting the resem-
blance to a leaf, with petiole and stem
complete. In the summer its wings are
bright green, but in the fall they change
with the deciduous leaves to a brown,
withered hue. It's hold upon the branch
is slight, puff of wind being enough to
throw it upon the ground, when it at
once sets out to regain its home in such
manner as terrified the Spanish sol
dieTS.

TOLD A BLOODY TALE.
WOMAN'S BLOOD-CURDLING
STORY OF A MOB.

says Masked Men Entered Her Home in
Mitchell County Sunday Night and
Killed Her Husband and Friend.
The Albany Herald prints a sensation
al story, told by Mrs. Helms of Mitch
ell county, of a midnight visit of mob
to her home and the killing of her hus-
band and friend.
Mrs. Helms is native of Terrell
county. Her maiden name was Wills,
and she resided here until her marriage
several years ago. She and her little
daughter reached Dawson several days
ago, and at once went to the home of
relatives in the northern part of the
county.
Folio wing is the story that was print
ed b The Herald:
The Sunday morning S. F. IL W. train
brought up from Putney woman and
little girl who had a blood-curdling sto-
ny to tell, which almost paralyzed the
train men and others who happened to
be at the union passenge depot,
Her name was Helms--Elizabeth
Helms-she said, wife Of Ebert Helms,
an aged farmer who lives in Mitchell
county eight miles east of Camilla. Her
husband is a brother of Major E. c..
Helms of this city and Judge Helms of
Dawson, She was apparently anywhere
between forty and fifty years of age, and
told her story with an air Of sincerity
which carried conviction to some, though
others doubted it because of its improb-
ability and subjected her to a great many
questions, her answers to which disclos-
ed even greater weakness in the story.
The story itself was about as follows
On Saturday night about Il o'clock six
maske men wearing gowns that reach
ed nearly to their knees came to the
house that was occupied by hers If al d
husband and took therefrom a man
named Frank Chance, who was living
with them, ard killed him, threatening |
to do the same for herself and husband. I
Mr. Helms, being partially paraIyzed |
could not escape, but urged her to do so |
with their little girl. She and the child |
hastily left the house in their night
clothes, and before going very far beard |
Outcries from the house which convinc- |
ed her that the men we're killing her
husband. Without going to any neigh
boris house to give the alarm she con-
tinued on her course toward Putrey, |
near which place thew were supplied |
with clothing and money to paw their
way on the train to Albany. The rea-
son for the killing Of Chance she could |
not tell, unless it was because of being
mixed up in a fraudulent land transac-
in which one Jim Jones had been worst
ed, and the reson why they wanted to
kill her and her husband was to cover
up the other crime.
She made no effort here TO communi.
nicate with Major Helms, but wanted to
go on to Dawson to join relatives there.
Some gentlemen at the depot made up /
money TO purchase tickets for the wo
man and the child to Dawson, and they |
left on the afternoon g. d A. train for |
that city Major Helms was appraised If |
her presence here, but declined to have
anything to do with rer, placing no Gre
dence in the story. Efforts have been |
ma lie, however, 70 learn whether there |
was any foundation at all for the tale. |
but so far nothing has been learned of |
any such tragedy as she described.

PELEG STONE PERLEY.

Judge Peleg s. Perley died yesterday morning at ? o'clock. The funeral will take place from the residence at 8 o'clock tomorrow Sunday afternoon ]
 Peleg Stone Perley was born in Livermore, Maine, July IA, 1929. He spent his boyhood in that place and at the age of 16 entered Bowdoin college. He was the best of comrades and a brilliant student of languages and literature, and graduated with the Latin honors. He then taught a year or two in the Portland (Me) high high school and read law under Gen. eral Samuel Fessenden of that city. After being admitted to the bar he first practiced his profession in New Albany, Ind. A year later he removed to Henry, III. There he met and mar rier Miss Nancy Morrison, a native of New Hampshire. Of this union there were three sons and three daughters
 He practiced law in the courts of Illi- nois for thirty years and throughout that time was a leader in politics. He was closely associated in these con- nections with Lincoln, Logan and h. gersoll. In 1869-70 he was a member of the state constitutional convention. From 1877 to 1887 he was postmaster at Henry, H., still pursuing his legal

captain was too busy to tell of his | thirty years of mining experiences 1 and let him off easy for the time be- | ing. At 30 transfer was made to the i Gila Valley, Globe and Northern and ! the first stop was Solomonville.
 On the way up Superintendent B. Jones was interviewed as to the fu- ture of the Gila Valley, Globe and Northern and that gentleman said that things were being shipped out for early prosecution of the work of eX- tending the road to Globe. For the present there would be no particular amount of work to be done on the first sixty-eight miles to Geronimo other than what was absolutely necessary. The Midland Construction company of California had the control of all work pertaining to the road of which MT. William Garland is president. Sub contracts will be let in Los Angeles for the construction of forty-seven miles, MT. Garland, for the Midland Con
 struction company, taking up the diff ference between Globe and Geronimo of ten miles-a total of fifty-seven, evidently a cut off of six miles less than the stage route It is understood that less than eighty miles will be heavy work, this on the last stretch.
 The rails which are being taken up by the S. P. to be replaced by heavier, have been secured. They are of fifty five pound weight. Two new engines of 72,O00 and 95,000 have been ordered from the Baldwin shops. It is the in- tention to continue the use of mesquite wood for fuel, unless the coal fields in the valley should prove producers and H fhA nh hav hna ar1 ordered and upon completion of the road, six months after construction work has commenced, probably in October next, the combination service will be discontinued and passenger
 trains will make the 125 miles and re- turn during the same day. Of course the force will be necessarily increased and other changes will follow A bridge of 1,50O feet will be required at San Carlos in the crossing of the Gila and special care will be taken to so construct it and avoid the possibility of a washout, as the Gila gets trouble some at times. Probably 300 men will be called for to engage in grading, etc. Soon after Lieut. Rice, Indian agent at San Carlos, receives advices of appro- val of the treaty made with the Apaches less than a month ago. The matter Is wholly in the hands of the interior department and a favorable report is anticipated this week.
 Col. F. H. Brigham has received and accepted the survey segregating the coal fields mineral strip in the San Carlos reservation and as inspector has forwarded same to Washington for approval, leaving Tucson for the ns- tional capital tomorrow. The miners have held meeting and formed dis trict to be known as the Stanley Butte district, by which name it will here after be known. They have chosen MT. J. Parks, justice, and J. J. Bull, constable, of the precinct which in- cludes the strip. PITTOCK.

HOW IS THIS?
Why Are No t the Valley Farmers
 Alive to Their Opportunities?

The Salt River valley ought to pro- duce enough butter and eggs and other table necessities to supply all Ari- zona at least. Some people are under the impression that it does MT. Wal lace Fairbank of Chicago, who is con- nected with the Congress Gold con- pany, is of the opinion that the farm CTS of the valley are negiecting their opportunities. Here is an extract from a letter he wrote recently to his father MT. N. K. Fairbank, who is now at Jekyl Island, Georgia:
 We have been rather amused lately by the talk in the Phoenix papers about the new Big Bug railroad open ing up that country and thus giving a new outlet for the produce of the val ley We have more market right here than they can supply even now. A creamery company from which we have been getting butter acknowledges that it has been getting it from FL gin, Ill.,, in order to meet our de- mands. In another case, after a good deal of correspondence, we placed an order with a party that was anxious to supply us with fresh eggs The order was filled with cold storage eggs shipped from the east. A few deals of that sort tend to make us skeptical in regard to the produce of the valley. The valley is all right; you can raise anything from mud tur- ties to bananas. But it is much easier to raise alfalfa, or nothing at all. WALLACE FAIRBANK.
 Congress, Ariz., Feb. -
 In commenting on this letter MT. N. 1 K. Fairbank writes: There is a large population along the line of our road (the s. F. P. & P) that would take supplies from the valley, but it can get nothing but barley and alfalfa. It would be laughable if it were not SC lamentable."
 There is food for thought in the above. Why should not the Salt River valley produce more of the SUD- plies required by the mining popula- tion, which has plenty of money to spend for the good things of this life To man up tree it looks as if the valley farmers were missing a mighty 1 good opportunity.

 London, March "A large commit tee of ladies of title, including the Marchioness of Tweeddale and several countesses, has been taking an active especially in the poorer districts of the Lambeth and Battersea suburbs They have been laboring in behalf of the moderates in the radical strong holds, and their action is roughly re- sented by the radical leaders.
 MT. John Burns has been brutally in sulting in his comments, and the other day he went so far as to denounce these representatives of British aris- tocracy as scented Delilahs.'
 Two days later Lady Denbigh, after a hard days work at Battess a, went to tea at the county council lunch rooms with her husband. MT. Burns came in and sat down near the door Lord Denbigh crossed the room, tap ped the agitator on the shoulder, and took him across the room. Then, to the amusement. and delight of the councillors present, he said:
 Allow me to introduce you to one of the scented Delilahs.'
 Lady Denbigh shook hands heartily with John, and thanked him for all the nice remarks he had been making about her.
 Burns was taken aback, and did not appear to relish the situation. He said the ladies had been saying things against him, but Lady Denbigh re- piled that that was quite mistake, as they never descended to personalities. After few minutes of rather forced conversation, Burns turned and fled.
