MADE GOOD IMPRESSION
Indian School Band Comes In for
 High Praise.

l Superintendent S. M McCowan of the Phoenix Indian school, in a com munication to this paper regarding the favorable impression made by the boys at the Omaha exposition, says:
 FFIt will be a pleasure to you, know, to publish letters just received from the president and musical director of the Greater American exposition These letters, copies of which I en- close, speak for themselves. I rejoice over the success attained, yet not so much because of the excellent music produced as over the universal eXpres- sions of praise concerning the bands good behavior. Color is not an essen tiaI ingredient to the constitution of gentleman, and it is a very great pleas ure to me to know that our copper colored students can be rightly placed in that class.
 You will remember when the band left for Omaha last June many and dire were the criticisms on the Ari- lzona exhibit. Expressions of scOrn and indignation were rife. I said nothing then. Now I wish to state that the Arizona exhibit was, perhaps, the most attractive one at the exposition. The band was a revelation to the thou sands of visitors. Their playing first amazed, then pleased and enthused- The boys were watched, invited every where, tempted, yet not one of them fell Not enc of the forty ever went to place to which you or I would hes itate to take our sisters. They were not loud or boisterous. They did not need to be carried home in the wee small hours They were gentlemen.
 People said: Are these fair speci- mems of your Arizona Indians? We thought they were all savages. You don't mean to tell me those two are Apaches, Why, we never thought any good could come from that tribe. Then they are capable of receiving civilization? Representatives Of ft- teen different tribes, did you say? It seems impossible Their playing is simply delightful. and their conduct excellent It seems to me Arlzona ought to be proud of her natives l have heretofore criticised the govern ment for making such large approprla- tions for the education of the Indian, but I must say I was mistaken. The money is we'll spent" etc.
 And then the young ladies would crowd up and request souvenir, ana OUT boys would gallantly clip oil a

THEY NEVER REPORTED
Phoenix Visitors fo California CaIlrd
 Upon to Defend Themselves,

The Santa Monica Outlook of August 70 has the following story. which. to say the least, sounds a little ''ishy." and as it mentions certain Phoenix gentlemen of sporting proclfvities and undoubted veracity, strange as the combination may appear, it is repro duced:.
 Last evening the neat little yacht Bonnie Belle, of -Redondo, Captain McDonaId in charge, came up from Re- dondo and anchored off the Pleasure wharf. She had been chartered by a party here for a fishing excursion to- day The party was on hand at the wharf at o'clock this morning, but did not embark until half hour later. It comprised the following: Frank Hammond, Al Carrillo, Theo LiIjigren Billy Ames, D. A. Fountain, Tom Fitzgerald, Ed Lewis, H. s. Charming or Pasadena, Hiram Eldred, Jake Mil Ter, James Flaherty, Charles Eldred, Thomas Hines and Jerry Millay of Phoenix, Arizona, and Ed Daley of San BernardinO. Johnny BarEeycorn and old Gambrinus had received invi- NStAO~AOs Ou6 Id44Cu IO dIIlhG III IIn6.
 "The course chosen was outside the surf southward to Redondo, thence cut to sea and northward toward Point Dimas. The boys were to troll for barracuda, Jew fish, albacore and all the other large specimens that feel like taking the hook. An ample sup ply of luncheon, lemons, sugar and water insure a jolly good time The party returns this evening and will re- port success"
 The reason for printing the above clipping is not that there is anything. startling in a fishing party, but simply to call attention to the conduct of Phoenix tourists in general this sum- mer. Heretofore the summer season has never failed to be reasonably fruitful of fish stories, marvellous in their nature, appalling in their rela- ton. Of course affidavits have been called for on various occasions and promptly furnished setting at rest any doubts that may have existed in the minds of the stay-at-homes. But this year not a single startling episode has come to light and the first man is yet to be found who win admit that he has seen a fish, much less caught one. But the influence of the prnss is hfv- ing it's effect even in this matter and grave fears are suggested t5at the

CONGRESS RESPONSIBLE
For inc Railroad Wreck sf HrizoIa
 on Friday Night.

Alfred Franklin returned yesterday from a trip on legal business to Tue son. He was in the Southern Pacific
 wreck near Arizola last Friday night which, he says, was the most curious railroad casualty he ever had anything to do with or ever heard of. He was sitting with Sheriff White and Treas urer Wentworth of Cochisa county in the front passenger car There was only couple of slight bumps and the train came to a standstill MT. Went worth suggested hold-up and he and the sheriff hurried outside. followed hv MT. Franklin. The engine, a baggage and nexpress car lay in the ditch and the front trucks of the first passenger car had left the tracks. It, as well as every other car of the train, would have been overturned but for a very curious incident. The tender of the engine did not topple over, but was pulled across the track in such a way as to block the rest of the train after the baggage and express cars had been ditched. The engine was total wreck. but the fireman had escaped without a scratch. Engineer Guthrie was horribly scalded on one side from the crown. of his head to his foot He suffered the most painful agony and begged the bystanders to- rip the scalded skin away from him, hoping that would relieve him, whereas it would have only made death, which seemed probable, absolutely certain There was, fortunately, a trained nurse aboard. She had been connected with army relief work and was on her. way to her home in Fl Paso. She had q hypodeFmic syringe and some nor phine with which she relieved the engineers sufferings and heswas then bathed in olive oil. At t, o'clock the next morning the .company's physician, Dr. H. W. Fenner. arrived from Tue son and the injured man, who lives there, was taken home. The passen- gers were detained sixteen hours.
 The immediate cause; of the accident were three COWS, which had gone to sleep on the track, but the more re- sponsible cause was the. Fifty-fourth congress of the United States, which enacted a law requiring all railroads which run through federal territory to equip their egnines with a kind of pat
 
 is to tilt the so-called cowcatcher in such a manner that instead of brush ing an obstruction off the track, it rises upon it and holds it fast. It was probably the idea of congress to make the cowcatcher live up to it's name, to carry out it's pretensions, and actually catch and retain the cows instead of showing them aside to wander back on the track again. These new couplers were put on the Arizona road about one year ago and they have, so rail- road men say, been so eficacious that every COW encountered has been fixed so that she would never cucumber the track any more. It has been an ex- pensive innovation for the railroad and has added to the perils of engineers, trainmen and passengers and increases the duties of the men who clean up the engines if they hap pen to be worth cleaning up, but it works well and makes the cowcaitcher perform it's duties according to con tract and specification.

Rogers, about thirteen miles north
 east of town, whom he had rob. bed a month before. There he stole
 seven eggs and that night at other
 places got eggs.
 About two o'clock yesterday morn | ing Mrs. William List, who lives not far from Rogers was sleeping on g cot on a porch. She was awakened by slight noise, and rising she saw 8 man bareheaded and crouching. She called her husband and the intruder ran off. It was noticed that he was carrying pair of shoes.
 Early yesterday morning Charley Pendergast, a neighbor, came to town and informed the sheriff's office Of the visitor at Lists, and Deputy Sheriff Slankard and George McDonald started out Before they arrived Moore had come along the trail and passed on.
 About three o'clock yesterday after noon they came to dense tract of brush of about forty acres on the old Mosher place .on the north extension of the Grand canal, ten miles west of town They were confident that their man was in the brush, but for two men 1t was like hunting a needle in a hay stack The burglar was now alarmingly near the railroad and the city,. I1night should come before his capture he would probably escape. A gang Of twenty ditch workers came along. Sheriff Murray counted them end tcld them there was man in the brush whom he would4g verSdQa. to see. The ditch workers .slliTonnded the brush and in a flew minutes had s apiece and the sheriff had his burglar.
 The young man didn't have much to say. The only voluntary remark was a. question put to, the sheriff. You can't b1ams a man for trying to gain his lfberty?" Certainly not. '" replied the sheriff, q would have tried the same thing myself" The prisoner said his name was Burns, but he IS known as Walter Breen. The sheriff said that while he was following the trail tcward the White Tank moun- tains he expected constantly tt come upon the burglars body. He was Sure he would when he found that he had got to crossing his trail The ex- plGit of going without water so long in this country at this season of the year without fatal results was never heard Of
 Burns looks like sick man, though the sheriff doesn't think he is a co1- frmed invalid. But he looked so small that when he was captured yesterday the sheriff was still ashamed to put handcuffs on him, though it was the giving way to that sentiment last Friday that made him so much trouble. When he received him at Prescott he tcok the irons out of his valise and sizing up the prisoner put them back again, saying: "Ohi Pshawl I'm not going to iron that little rat.'' Burns locks very much like a rat and acts still mere like one,

way towards Connecticut, as he had little money with him.
 The police now think he is in hiding somewhere in the woods around Peace Dale. They already have searched the houses in that vicinity oc- cupied by colored families, and now are making a thorough scout through the woods As it is anticipated that Weeden would be a dangerous man when in a tight place, the men en- gagged in the search are armed and ready to make a fight, if necessary.
 Weeden is supposed to have a re- volvar, as a search in the vicinity of the spot where the shooting occurred shows that the weapon used was not thrown away at that place. There is some fear that Weeden, if close pressed, may take his owG life.
 The chief of police said last night that if Weeden was in the woods there was a good chance of his remaining there for some time, as there is plenty of berries and small game for him to live upon, and the tract is over thirty miles long. It is believed that Weeden's friends are supplying him with food.

A TENNESSEE BATTLE.
4 Tramp Made a Talk About a
 Distillery.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept 4.-De- tails of a terrible and bloody battle with Winchester rifles and shotguns reached here tonight from Oneida, Tenn, in the mountains eighty miles north on the Cincinnati Southern rail- way. The dead are:' Charles H. West and David Akers, who were fatally riddled with rifle balls. Others were dangerously wounded, but on account of early closing of country telegraph office, their names cannot be learned,
 It appears that tramp was stop ping with a man in a house out from Oneida. This tramp spoke to several parties about a mConshine distillery, and was warned to stop talking or leave the country. He refused and a band of men last night assaulted the home with the intention of whitecap- ping the tramp. The tramp and his friend fortified themselves in the

 Then follow the communicatory let ters received by Mir. McCowan: Omaha, Neb., August 30 1899 Professor McCowan. Phoenix School, | Phoenix, Arizona.
 | My Dear Mir McCowan: The time has arrived when the Indian band is to leave us. It came here under your auspices and largely by your favor. It seems only proper that I should, on the eve of their departure, express to you in emphatic words our apprecia- tion of the services which they have rendered to the Greater American ex- position during their stay.
 Their devotion and a1acrity in their work bear testimony to the entire satisfaction which they have given to the exposition management. It is also great pleasure for me to bear testi- mony to the dignified and respectable conduct of these young men during their sojourn at the exposition. The evidence of good breeding, their mod est reserve and the accommodating disposition shown by them, at all times, attracted the notice and secured the approval of us all.
 You will receive a higher testi- mnnial from Professor Kelly, musical director to the exposition, as to their merits as a band, and in this we will all concur. Secretary Smith joins me in congratulations to you and good wishes for the band, for Mrs. McCowan and for yourself.
 Most truly yours,

McCowan: Inas- much as you have the sHperintendenoe of the boys who constitute the Indian band of your school, I feel that it would be great omission on my part if I were to allow them to leave here without a word to you in regard to their work Their playing has been very successful and they are really remarkable set of young men, reflect ing much credit on their instructors. They have behaved themselves with the dignity and courtesy of gentlemen and their willingness to work has been remarked by everybody. l wish you great success in your interesting career and I sincerely trust that your arduous labors will be well repaid.
 For your conductors, MT. Devine and MT Peralta, I have great respect and admiration, musically and socially. With kindest regards to you, and regretting that I am unable to give you a more tangible expression of my sentiments, I remain,

STILL AT LARGE.
Wife Murderer Believed to Be in
 Hiding.

Providence, R., l., Sept. 4.-Andrew Weeden, who shot his wife Mary at Narragansett Pier Saturday on ac- count of jealousy, is still at large. It has been learned that it was another man who was with the murdered wo- man Saturday afternoon, and that William Jackson did not join her un- til about 10 o'clock that evening, when they went into Bothwells ice cream saloon, and from there Jackson es- corted her to the scene of her death.
 It is stated by these who say they know Weeden that he was seen Sun day both at Wickford Junction and Wickford. It is believed, however, that they must have been mistaken in the man, for it is thought that he is either in the woods or has made his
