Though the run from Prescott is or
dinarily little mere than half a day,
Mr.. Murray did not get in with his
prisoner until the following Monday.
Did anything happen on the way
back?" asked Acting District Attorney
Willis.
Yes replied the sheriff, some
thing unexpected happened" Where
upon the prisoner who had made no
show of emotion, leaned forward in
his seat with laughter Then the
sheriff proceeded to graphically de-
scribe the flight of Burns through a
car window and the subsequent three
days chase after him.
You will admit, sheriff., said the
prisoner questioning him, that
the window was OPEN "Oh, yes
replied the sheriff, ''the window was
open" Upon this admission the pris-
oner locked triumphant; as if he had
scored an important point disclosing
mitigating circumstance, an over
whelming temptation, and at the same
time proving that he was not des-
perate criminal who would run away
from justice when there was no means
of escape. If that window had been
nailed down or if there had been no
window there at all he would have
come on to jail quietly, if not cheer

LETTER FROr1 GEN. OTIS
He Was One Time Ranked by Chap
lain Winfield SCeff.

Chaplain Winfield Scott yesterday
received letter Of the date of July
81, from General E. S. Otis, command
ing in the Philippines. The letter re-
lated entirely to personal matters and
was only an unbrolen correspondence
between General Otis and Chaplain
Scott since they were graduated from
Rochester university. General Otis
writes that his health is very good and
would still be better if he had time
for sufficient exercise. The climate
OF the Philippines, lie says, is not I'M
healthy for these who exercise rea-
sonable degree Of prudence. Letters
from the islands bear the ordinary
two-cent postage stamps of the United
States with the word philippines"
printed across the face.
There was a time in Chaplain SCOTS
military career when he ranked Gen
era1 Otis. After leaving the university
one entered upon a course of theology
and the other began the study CT law.
The professional studies of both were
interrupted by the breaking out of the
war. Chaplain Scott raised a COM
pany, which was attached to the
126th New York. General Otis raised
a company which became a part of
the 10th New York Thus Chaplain
Scott became the ranking captain.
The 126th New York was assigned to
the Fifth army corps, Han
cock and the 140th New York
to Sykes division of regulars
of the Second army corps, after
wards commanded by General War
rem. 1t was the 140th regiment
street on Little Round Top at Gettys-
burg. The colonel who had taught
Captain Otis war was killed and in the
promotions that followed he became
lieutenant colonel At the close Of the
war he was in command of a brigade.
Chaplain Scott has the highest
opinion Of General Otis. He believes
him to be the best educated man in
the army and to more nearly approach
Grant in soldferly qualities than any
officer now living, particularly in that
fxedresS OF purpose which distln-
guished Ulysses the Silent.
The command in the Philippines was
net of General Otis choosing. He
would have preferred almost any other
service to a residence in the Philip
pines, which at that time promised
nothing more than a quick crushing of
the Spanish and a long period of I'M
healthy idleness during the recon-
struction. Whatever objection Gen
era1 Otis may have had to the post !
never found expression in a murmur !
and succeeding events proved that his |
dread of a life of inactivity was not !
well founded.

SNOW SHOVELING
Phoenix Mans Part In Alaskan Rail-
road Building.

David Turner, gardener of the
court house plaza, feels as if he were
DR.. -Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on account of
the variety of employments which he
has lately been engaged in, amounting
almost to dual existence. For a
great many years Mr.. Turner has de-
voted himself exclusively to the cult
walton of flowers and his winters in
Phoenix have been spent in the tending
of tropical and sub-tropical plants.
He is a child of the sun and the sum-
mer. What he knows about winter
has been accumulated recently and
that is why he feels like Dr. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde.

early flowers were out of the way and

the later ones had not come in yet, he
determined to make run into Alaska
and the klondyke region to see what
there was in that cold country to at
tract people away from more hos
pitable climates. When he got to
Skaguay he was filed with the unac-
countable enthusiasm which attacks
all who go there, and he became so
much interested in the development of
that country that he volunteered to
assist in the construction of the
.Skaguay & Dawson railroad. The en-
| terprise was then pretty well under
way. All the road was built except a
stretch of six miles over the White
Pass. They had left that part of the
construction for the sweet summer
time, because there is less snow on the
White Pass then than in midwinter.
There is always more or less snow there
and more ready to fall. Mr.. Turner en-
tered into a conspiracy with about
forty other gentlemen to remove this
snow from the company's right of way
with short handled shovels, in order
that the blasters nigh. see their way
clear to blow chasm though the
mountain about the size of the Grand
canyon of the Colorado. The job
Turner, who had a great deal to learn
about snow. He was told that it was
only about twenty feet deep on an av-
erage, and when he looked at the
white fluffy stuff, he thought that
here was the picnic he had been lock-
ing for all his life. 1t would be a
great deal like shoveling smoke or
wind, only it would be more satisfac-
tory, since one could see what Roadway
he was making. The forty conspir-
ators armed with short handled SHOW
els were divided into three parties.
The first shoveled out a trench and
handed the snow to the second divis-
ion, which passed it to the third,
which in turn threw it as far as pos
sible out of the way, but not far
enough, so that the three divisions
would have to make a combined at
tack on it and carry it clear cut of the
vicinity.
1t was easy enough at first The
snow was as fluffy as it looked, but
Mr.. Turner observed that as he got
farther down, the specific gravity in
creased. At a depth of four feet it
was about as heavy as light garden
soil; at eight feet it was like gravel;
at twelve live heavy mud; at fifteen
like lead and at twenty feet impos-
sible to lift by any process known to
science except dynamite, which tore
it cut in irregular and unsightly
chunks. Mr. Turner was employed en-
the lower level 1t was his duty not
only to dig the snow loose, but to
shoot it at the contingent working on /!
the second level, by whom it was ele-
waited to the expectant delegation On |
the first level
Mr.. Turner discovered not only that |
the snow was heavier than it looked, |
but was also exceedingly cold and re
puIsive to the back of his neck, on |
which it sometimes rolled down from
the upper levels. This chilly and ar
1uous labor was not without its COM
pensation TO Mr. Turner, for he used
to dream every night of raising pan
sizes and edelweiss in the Salt River
valley. Oftentimes in the snowy
trench he wondered if he had ever
raised flowers anywhere; if he had
been in the Salt River valley and if
his name were David Turner. But
hey got the snow off at last, and old
liners couldn't recognize the noun

the intention to preserve the collec-
ton of photographs and drawings as
permanent feature of the work of the
agricultural department it affords an
opportunity to advertise alike the re-
sources and needs of this territory,

their proposed work.

ated 800 to pay for a series of photo

BURNS BOUND OVER
The Burglar Held In the Sum of One
Thousand Dollars.

Burns, the Peoria burglar, had a pre-
1iminary trial before Justice John
stone yesterday afternoon and was
held to the grand jury in the sum OF
81 900. On account of the interest
that had been aroused in the case and
the consequent likelihood that big
ger crowd would be attracted than
Wall street could take care of, the ex-
animation took place in the district
court room. The first witness was H.
c. Mann of Peoria, whose house had
been ransacked. He described his
discovery of his loss and the various
articles which constituted it. Many
of these articles had been found in
Burns possession when he was arrest
ed at Prescott, and all were identified
by Mr.. Mann. The prisoner declined
to avail himself of his privilege
of cross-examinatiCn.
The next witness was Night Watch
man Giles of Prescott, who arrested
Burns on a description of the jewelry
which had been sent from the sheriff
Office here. When he found Burns,
the night Waterman said, the prisoner
acted as if he were going to try to es
cape and wanted to take off his shoes.
Burns has a mania fer going without
his shoes when he desires to move
quickly from one place to another. On
cross-examination the prisoner tried
TIC get the witness to admit that he
was mistaken when he said he had
medftated an escape. The witness
would admit nothing of the sort and
was excused, though the prisoner sub
sequently referred to him.
J. Jacoby, a bartender of Prescott,
next testified. He said that some time
in the night before Burns was arrested
he came into the saloon and wanted to
put up gold watch for S.. The wit
ness advanced him only So, and he
went away. He returned in a short
time and redeemed the watch, but
came back later and pawned it again
for IS, saying: 81 expect you'll get it
for keeps this time" Some time later
Night Waterman Giles came into the
saloon and the bartender told him
about the transaction. Giles looked at
the watch and recognized it by the
description as one stolen from Mr..
Mann. He went out in search of
anu On leaving Liz
stand Witness Jacoby was compii-
mented by the prisoner. You are the
second man on the stand who has told
the straight TRUTH" said he. 1.-The
other fellow is dirty liar" This
reference was to Witness Giles, who
was not as much cast down as might
have been expected at this assault
upon his veracity.
The next was an unimportant wit
ness employed by Mr.. Mann. He
merely described hunt for tracks on
the morning after the robbery, the
finding of them and the following of
them until they were lost
Sheriff Murray testified last. He
told of the sending out CT the circulars
describing the stolen property, and the
receipt of a telegram from Prescott
saying that part of the property had
been recovered and that the thief was
in Jail. He went after him, got him and
started home with him last Friday.

LINES WALLS WITH LEGS.
A Chicago Veteran Of the Civil war
Who Turns Uncle Sans Boun-
ty to q Novel Use.

Henry Curtin, veteran of the civil
war living on the West side, has room
in his residence that impresses all his
visitors as veritable chamber of hor.
rors. This is because it's most conspicu.
Gus decoration and ornament is row
of human legs suspended on the walls
and entirely circling the room. Mr..
Curtin always laughs at the fright OF
strangers at the first sight of this room,
and then explains that the legs are only
artificial ones, and there's nothing to
be afraid of. Then he tells them how
the legs come to be there.
"You see," says Mr.. Curtin, Gin GA
was SO foolish as to try and stop can.
non ball with my right leg. OF course,
it was big job, and the next
thing knew I was in a camp hospital
with one leg left. That ended my SOL
diering. The government had me meas
ured for an artificial leg as soon as was
able to be about, and I came home to
Chicago.
"Well, discovered that I couldn't
wear the kind of leg the government
gives, owing 10 some reasons connected
with the way my leg was amputated.
and the only leg can wear is this wood
en- stump that straps to the thighs. It
was in '65 when got my first leg. In
'66 an express package brought me an
other. sat down and wrote the war
department that the legs were of no
use to me, and, therefore, not to send
them. They didn't take bit of notice
of my letter, and in '67 another leg
came. I wrote again to Washington;
told them I had three of their legs now
that 1 couldn't use, and didn't want
them to go on and bankrupt the gov.
eminent buying me legs.
''They never noticed me. In '6s got
another leg. They began to get in the
way around the house, SO then start
ed the labelling and dating of each one.
and hanging them up on the walls of
my den. They come regularly-onc
each year. There's IS there now, and ]
guess I'll last long enough to see 50 or
more if Uncle Sam doesn't get tired
sending them."-Chicago Inter Ocean.
