Wild DOGS IN ARIZONA.
An Apparently New Variety Produced by Crosse

HoLBRooK. Ariz., Jan. l5.-Wild dogs are over
running the mountain and valley country along
the line between New Mexico and Apache
county, Ariz. The animals arc apparently tho
descendants Of domesticated dogs that have
mingled with the mountain wolves until they
have produced a new variety-part wolf and
part dog. The creatures have tho head and
shoulders OF the bulldog. with the body. move
ment, and characteristics OF the gray mountain
wolf. They look to be of about a hundred pounds
in weight, and in color they are of an ashen gray,
with patches of long black hair.
In some instances they have attacked men on
foot and alone, but SO far no one Is known to
have been seriously injured. A horseman they
will follow for miles through the forests. but
this action is apparently the survival Of tho
domestic dogs instinct. They sometimes visit
isolated ranches, and when they do the ranch
dogs, unless very much attached to their mas
tiers, are very apt TO go away with tho wild dogs.
The dogs 20 about in bands and get their food
by killing sheen, calves, and young colts. They
have even been, known to pull down and kill
full-grown cattle. The ranchers throughout
the district where these dogs run believe that II

The Storm Drain Settlement.

At tonight's council meeting it is
understood a plan is to be proposed
for the adjustment of the storm drain
case, which has been before the coun-
ell and council committees for some
months. following the conviction in
the circuit court of the contractors
and associates of conspiracy. 1t will
be remembered that Contractor
Schnell some months ago made a
proposition to the council to settle the
matter on a basis satisfactory to the
city. And it is on the strength of the
committees report after investiga-
tion that action is anticipated.
The city may be expected to guard
the interests of the taxpayers fully in
any proceedings that may be had.
This is matter, it is hardly neces-
sary to state, that should not be too
hastily acted upon, and Mayor Medill
stated this morning that, realizing
this. it might not come up tonight,
and still it might. The mayor rightly
feels that only such a plan as looks to
the city's interests and the DISPOSE
ton of the matter with the least eX-
pense and annoyance should be con-
Sidprpd.

various churches of the Protestant
denomination in the city. and the
occasion was attended by beautiful
floral displays and impressive services
in which the little people took part.

crowded to overlooking last evening
for the observance of children's day.
A program of superior excellence was
given, the little folks doing themselves
proud. Too much credit cannot be
given to those who arranged and pre-
pared the exercises. The singing was
particularly good by the school, and
by a quartet, and solo, Cling To

Guard House Distinguished Visitors
for the 9Th Regiment = Congressman
Prince Dimes With Col. Foster.
According to a Washington special,
the members of the 9th regiment at
Camp Alger are discussing the ques-
ton of how best to send home a por-
| ton of what they have received and
how to spend to best advantage the
| remainder. 1t is safe to estimate
that nearly % per cent of the money
which Paymaster Hammond distrib-
uted in Col. Jack Fosters command
will go to the wives and families in
Illinois. Many of the men are club
bling together and putting all of their
savings into pool which is sent on
to the local bank, and may there be
drawn upon in accordance to the de-
post. Capt. McConochie, of Com
pany A. raised about 5000 in his
company for such a fund. Of this
amount Private Steve Moore contrib
uted $lS, retaining just 20 cents of
his months wages for expenditure
upon himself.
Companies A and f of the 9th have
formed company messes, to which
each man contributes small amount
of his pay monthly. The officers OF
the 9th are protesting quietly over
the amount of their mess bills. Last
month these amounted to about $2S
for each man. As table board at en-
cellent hotels in Washington costs
little more than this, the officers
think it is too high for camp fare.
The 9th had distinguished visitors
yesterday in the person of Miss Clara
Barton, Mrs. George KEENAN,, wife of
the Siberian traveller; DR.. George
Hubbell and DR.. Gill. members of
Miss BartOn's staff. They visited the
division hospitals, and then those of
the 9th Illinois, Sth Ohio and 9th
Massachusetts. Congressman George
w. Prince and family dined with Col.
Foster, of the 9th, yesterday.
Boys In the Guard House.
a dispatch from Camp Alger states
that the guard houses of the 9th and
9TH regiments are full of prisoners
who failed to return from Washing
ton in the required time Sunday. A
great many of the men were allowed
to go to Washington Yesterday, and a
number overstayed their leave and
tried to force their way past the guard
lines last night. They were stopped
and finally arrested. and as consc-
Iquence of their forcible attempt, ball
cartridges have been served the
guards. Forty-two men were cap
tured, of whom eight were from the
9th and five from the 9TH.
Lieut. Col. Ed Kittilsen of the 9th,
discovered game of poker in prog
ress and Immediately caused the tent
to be raided. The men, however.
were permitted to 90 unpublished
after severe reprimand, and with
the notification that any further
gambling means disgrace and the
most severe punishment. As mat
ter of course none of the transgres-
sors in any of these instances is from
Company A.
The 9th had no church or other re-
ligious services yesterday. but Chap
lain Morgan held a prayer meeting in
the evening. The 9th has no shade
anywhere near its camp, and it would
have been cruel to ask the men to sit
in the hot sun in the morning hours.

JUST AND REASONABLE.
Is the Switching Charge According to
the Railroad Commissioners.

The railroad and warehouse COM
mission has rendered a decision in the
Mankato switching case, in favor of
the defendant companies, the North
western and Omaha roads. The
plaintiffs were Messrs. Jordan and
Hayes, who conduct stone quarryIng
business On the line of the Minneapo-
lis & st. Louis railway in this city.
The old charges for switching cars
from the ST. Louis road to the other
lines was S.. The compliments con-
tended that this was far too high and
brought suit to have the charges re-
duced to So. Last May, pending the
action, the roads put into effect a SO
rate for switching services, and the
commission finds that this rate is a
reasonable, equal and just charge and
that the complainanGs are not en-
TITLED to reparatiOn nor have they
sustained any injury because of the
switching charges so made. The
complaint is accordingly dismissed.
The commission finds that it would
be practical 80 construct connecting
track between the St. Louis and
Omaha roads at point near the
quarries. which would reduce the
haul from seven miles to one mile,
but the companies object to this and
the commission declares that under
the existing law it has no power to
compel one to be built.

NeIs Nyquist Would Like Second Term
as Representative.

Representative Nels Nyquist. of
LeRay, was in the city today. When
asked by "a reporter whether he in
tended to seek reelection next fall,
he replied that he does so intend.
Thus far he has been non-committal
on the question, when approached,
but today he threw off his reserve.
Mr.. Nyquist has made a very
creditable representative, and his
many friends have solicited him to
txg, again. With the assurance of sup
port which he has received, he will
make good showing in the conven
tion, and if nominated he will be a
winner. Mr.. Nyquist is man of ex-
cellent judgment. and while he does
not take up the time of the house
making speeches, he is usually found
voting on the right side.
