A FABRICATION.
The North and South Not Sold, as
 Reported.

The Tucson Star yesterday published the following editorial article:
 ''The Santa Fe company has pur- chased the north and south road. It will assume the exclusive control on and after January first next. Frank NJ. Murphy, the president, will then re- tire Why would it not be a. good scheme for the republicans to nominate MT Murphy to congress? He is able. popular and will run well. His pres ence in congress would speak well for Arizona. He could be of immense ad- vantage to his brother, the governor in carrying through congressional measures necessary to the best inter ests of the territory. He could do much to bring statehood. Greater hon DTS would crown his good work. Frank NJ Murphy would make a strong man for congress. for he is self made man. He is successful man Of busi- ness. He knows every section of the territory and it's varied interests"
 A telegram was sent to MT. Murphy by The Republican asking him if there was any truth in the Stars statement concerning the north and south road. He sent the following reply:
 You are authorized to say that there absolutely is no foundation for the article published in the Tucson Star. ''F. M. MURPHY"

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Awarding of Municipal Contracts and Other Business

The city council met in adjourned session last night. The principal buc- mess before the council was to open bids and award contracts for city printing, lumber and feeding the pris- oners. The printing was awarded to The Arizona Republican at the same figures paid last year.
 There were four bids for the lumber contract so nearly alike and in the opinion of the council so high that the matter was passed over and it was re- solved to call for new bids.
 The contract for feeding the prison CTS was awarded to s. J. Tribolet at II cents meal. .009 higher than last year. The difference, the council be- 1ieved, was offset by MT. Tribolet's in tention to turn the contract over to American restaurant proprietors in- stead of Chinese.
 A petition signed by sixty-three Mex lcan residents to have the ordinances resolutions and notices passed by the kouncil printed in the Spanish lan-
 1age was placed on file.

A CRAZY PASSENGER.
The Companion of a Travelling Man
 on the Santa Fe Pacific.

Mir. A. A. Whitney. paint and oil man from Los Angeles who is stopping in Phoenix, relates an exciting experi- ence with crazy man on the Santa Fe road They were travelling together as acquaintances. apparently on the best of terms. MT. W1:1ney's com panion was accompanied by his par ents, who are most estimable and we'll to-do people. Up to the time of his outbreak nothing unusual had been observed in his demeanor, and the fact that he was crazy was net at first apparent, in consequence, to any of those around him.
 It is supposed that the intense heat experienced in crossing the California desert Cn the way east was the cause Of his mental alteration. The first that anything unusual was noticed was when the train arrived near The Needles. The party had retired, but the night was warm. MT. Whitney's companion made remark, MT. Whit ney responding with an admonition to him to keep quiet, as there were peo- pie in the car who wanted to sleep. The remark, innocent enough in it's nature, aroused the demon of insanity in the young man, who replied with a torrent Of abuse and ended by draw ing a revolver and leveling it at the paint and oil man. The scene at tracted the attention of the occupants of the car, among whorn were the par ents of the young man. They at tempted to use their parental author ity, with the result that the crazy man raved worse than before. In the meantime MT. Whitney was looking down the dark and ominous aperture of the revolver chamber, speculating whether the crazy man would pull the trigger or Tot. Eventually, however, MT. Whitney with the assistance of others succeeded in getting the weapon away and by main muscular force quieted the young man.
 The next outbreak that the insane companion made was at station, i where he got out and through some means secured a large knife. He en- tered the cars, muttering that he would kill himself and MT. Whitney, too. The remark was overheard by fellow passenger and the conductor was notified, who knocked the weapon out of the crazy mans hand as he passed through the cars hunting the paint and oil man.
 MT. Whitney get off the train at Flagstaff, well pleased to get rid of such an uncomfortable acquaintance.

HE FELL TO DEATH.
Distressing Accident at the Indian School Yesterday.
The Wife of Frank Cuzner, inc Vic finn, Now on Her Way to Visit Him After Long Separation.

Frank Cuzner, a cOrnice worker, fell from a staging on the side of new building at the Indian school at g o'clock yesterday morning, sustaining injuries from which he died five hours later. The fall was less than twenty feet, yet the left arm was broken and mangled by the protruding bones, and the right shoulder crushed, beside the fatal internal injuries. If he had lived he would have been hopeless cripple
 Immediately after the accident telephone message was sent to pr. Wylie. The physician could not de- termine the extent of the internal in- juries, but directed the removal of the wounded man to the Sisters hospital, where he died at o'clock.
 The accident is said to be due to the carelessness Of some Indian pupils who were employed On the new build ing. The staging, which had been put up under the edge of the roof, was supported by braces which passed through the windows and were nailed to the sleepers of a floor. The In- dians were putting down the flooring and had lcosened the ends of the braces, neglecting to secure them afteTward. The general appearance of the scaffold
 
 knowing that it had been secure the night before, moved along the staging until he came to the point at which the support had been disturbed. It gave way, fell outward and carried Cuzner to death. The afternoon before an- other part of the scaffold occupied by another workman named Weber fell from precisely the same cause. In falling Weber caught guy rope and swung himself into a window without injury.
 AS soon as CuZner was dead Justice JohnStone was notified, a coroner'S S jury was impanelsd and the body was formally viewed. The investigation will be concluded today It was learned that CuZner was a member of an A. O. U. w. lodge at Los Angeles, where he resides. A telegram was sent to the lodge and in the meantime the body was embalmed and held at w. A. Davis, undertaking establishment to await instructions regarding its dispo- sition.
 Cuzner was about thirty-fve years old and a resident of Los Angeles He had been in and about Phoenix for several years. He came here the last time few months ago and entered the employ of D. H. Burtis. He was an expert workman and did the orna- mental tin and iron work on the new Washington street theater. After that he found employment with MT. Pew, the contractor engaged on the build ings at the Indian school. Those who knew him say he was a man of excel lent reputation.
 Now comes the saddest incident in this sad affair. He was married and his wife, who has been visiting rela- tives in the east for several months, is somewhere en route to her home in Los Angeles. She intended to stop in Phoenix and see her husband, and from what is remembered by his fellow wOrkmen of a conversation with him about her the night before his death, it is believed that she will arrive in the city today.

that tho British government did give q

Indian governments objected to that and

The hostile attitude Of the Indian gov
