Fred Mason, negro, was arrested
in Oklahoma, suspicioned of being
implicated in 1.-The matter, and a
portion of Mr.. Golledge's jewelry
and trinkets were recovered. Fred
got in a hurry and went to Chick

Judge Townsend gave him a FIVE
years sentence. Fred said all the
time that George Carpenter was
the guilty one, therefore the chances
are now good that George and Fred
will have a chance to talk it over
at Leavenworth soon.

A puLL LEGISLATIVE pAY.
General Revision Of Laws the Order Of the DaY.--A Recess Taken
 Until Next Monday.

Phenix, Jan. "A Special Core spondence. The proceedings in both houses were tame today and were simply routine. A number of bills were introduced and the bill abolishing the commissioners of i'm migration was passed and signed by the governor and is now a law, and commissioners of immigration are a thing of memory only,
 A peculiar feature of the bills which are being introduced IS the large number providing for revision, and one would think that the special mission of the present legislature is that of revising committee 10 re- wise all the laws passed by preceding legislative bodies. Irrigation is to be revised, the poll tax law is to un- dergo revision, the system of taxa tion is to be revised, the mining law is to be revised, a revision of the school law is contemplated, and MT. Hunt proposes an omnibus revision of all the laws of the territory. The latter, If 1t becomes a Jaw, would give soft place to three or four lawyers for several months, and would enable them to fix up the laws for the benefit of the profession.
 The legislature will take a recess till next Monday, January 30, in order to give the Investigating con- miltees time to perform their arduous labors. Before adjournment, how ever, Moore took advantage of an occasion to introduce a resolution requiring members to file an item ized bill of expenses and if there is any of that $500 appropriation not properly accounted for it IS to be returned to the treasury.
 Benham wants free municipal H. braries established and has intro duced bill 10 provide for his wants in this direction.
 The governor today attached his signature to the bill legalizing the acts of certain notaries public, who did not know their business, and said acts are thereby ma 1e valid.
 During the investigation recess nearly all of the members who are not on these committees will take advantage of the opportunity for visiting their respective homes.

Tribute to An Arizona Pioneer

Prescott, AIizona, Jan. 24.-WIff- ard Rice was born at Greensboro, Vermont, October 22, 1882. He journeyed vest with his parents to Canaan, Wayne county, Ohio, in the year 1887. Started on the overland route to California, with other Ca naan boys, on MaICh IS, 1852. Ar irving at Msrysville, the Canaan boys formed a company and engaged in placer mining for some time with varied success. The winters were long, with an abundance Of snow in the Sierras. and Willard becoming restless and desirous of finding a warmer climate. heard of rich placer mines m Arizona. gathered a small party of prospectors about him and came hlther in 1868, encountering many obstacles and much hardship. Sharing the love and ambition of a majority of prospectors, he event ually iravers d a greater part of the mineral portion of Arizona. Since that time he has been identified with some of the most thrilling history of the territory.
 For ten years he was guide and scout ID the employ of the United States government, stationed with soldiers at Fort Whipple, near Pres colt. He was foremost in all raids ant engagements made by the sol diers against the Indians, which at periods were almost daily. Indians feared his most uneTring marksmaD- ship. Fully understanding the h. dian method and sagacity m warfare he was never harmed or betrayed by them. He loved Arizona and her people. and Lad unbouuded faith in her great resources, so much so that be had no desire to return east, making this truly the home of hIE adoption. The last ave years brought him failing health sad eye sight. Coming to the notice of his eastern relatives they came tc his relief. 1 would say, as we are about ho consign to mother earth these last mortal remains Of Uncle Willard Rice. that he was a man of superior intelligence. Of kindly disposition, a true and charitable friend. and a good citizen. He believed in God, aud loved nature to the extent that be spent goodly share of his life in the study'of her various manifesto tionS
 He passed to the higher life Mon day, January 2, 1899, at the age of 66 years, two moaths and five days.
 Peace to his ashes. May his soul bask in the light of the grandeur and beauty of the spirit world.

Interest in the Esgan Case.


 Probably DO man in ATizoas takes keener Interes: n the cooFt-martial of General Eagan than Colonel Mike Gray, 8 member of the present Arizona legislature, who has been yisiting Prescott. Shortly after the outbreak of the wsr of 1881 Colonel Gray was residing with bis family at Guyamas, Mexico, when Charles F. Eagan, then an energetic young man, came there as an expert ae- countant and business man to wind up the affairs of a bankrupt meT- chant. He had formerly been em- ployed in San Francisco, in the bank owned by General W. T. Sherman. the latter being very friendly to him. When he had completed his duties iu GuayaDass young Eagan consult ed Colonel Gray as to wh8the should do. when the latter advised him Co return to San Francisco and enlist in the volunteer army of the United States, remarking to him: You are young man, Charley, and with your Acquaintance with General Sherman. General Estell and other prominent men, you should be able to get heuienant's commission. 1T you can't go ss . lieutenant, go as a sergeant. If you can't get in ss a sergeant, enlist as a private.n After considering the matter for a day or two, Mir. Eagan came to Colonel Gray one day and said: Well, 1 have decided to take your advice and enter the ariny.H A day or two after that he left for San Francisco. where be entered the army as a pri- vste in the volunteers, but in less than i've years was a second lieuten- ant in the regular army.
 Colonel Gray has resided in Cali fornis, Mexico and Arizona ever since giving MT. EAgsn the above advice, and while he has watched with keen interest and great pride the career of the young man. he says that from the time of his departure from Guayamss to the present, he has never seen him, although Gen eral Eagsn vas stationed in Arizona for a long time since he resided in the territory.

LEGISLATORS RETURNING.
Matters in the Supreme Court-Ths Proposed Legislative Ball
 Personal Gossip.

Phenix, Jan. 29.-sSpecial Core spondence.)- )-The legislators who left the capital during the absence of the investigating committees. a. well as the members of the commit tee, have neally all returned and the legislative wheels of the territory will be set in notion again tomOr. TOW ct 2o'clock.
 While the legislature has beeE a. recess another body of men have been at work getting up recon. mendatiOns for them to act on when they convene again, that is the con vention of supervisors. ORs of the serious problems which they have bumped up against is tbe question of taxing the mines of the terri tory. Various propositions have bsen submitted and discussed, huf the convention has practically left the question where they found ii and have been unable tO evolve any proposition which will enlighten the lawmakers.
 Democratic orators and demo cratic newspapers are very rigorous in their bowls for economy during political campaigns. The dear peo- pie are very precious to them then, and one would think that the oniE object the average democrat had m seeking office was to immolate him stlf on his eountry's altar, all for the benefit of the dear people. to lift their burdens from thsir shoul- ders or else to asst them in bear ing their burdens This convention of supervisors proposes a practical application of this economy howl (nit).
 The economy is in favor of the self same officials though, and and not of the dear people, as 1t proposes to raise theIr salaries. The salary of district attorneys is pro posed to be raised from $3OO0 to 5000. and assessors are to be given clerks at S75 q month. It is sale to say that there is not a single district attorney in the territory today whose income ID the practice Of the law ever amounted to 5000. The duties of the office are such that the off cials can retain their civil practice, and the S2O00 received for attending to the county's business is pretty good pay for them.
 The somewhat celebrated Hillside case, which appears on the docket as c. B. Wiser ct al. Vs Lawler x Wells, has been up for argument be- fore the supreme court and was sub mitted at igs session on Saturday.
 Another Yayapsi case, that of Dr. Sewall "a w. Fl. Hatcher was also submitted on briefs.
 The citizens of Phenix are making great preparations for the legisla- tive ball to be given next Friday evening and the indications are that there will be quite a large attend ance from neighboring cities. Hotel keepers already report applications for reserve of rooms from Prescott and Tucson, for the occasion.
 Quite a number of Prescott peo- pie are noticed on the streets. among the late arrivals being Mes danes F. A. Tritle and J. L. Fisher. mother and mother-in-law respect ively of Harry Tritle the popular as sistant to Secretary c. H. Akers.

SANTIAGO SURROUNDED.

1; geantries declared that the event and its setting were the most impressive in their recollection, the time honored flag, which brought this new world into Dc ing. giving way to that of the youngest member of the family of nations. There was but a single discordant note. and that one so typical of ali the disoOrd bruiting in tine wake of America E grand uprising that may be pardoned for introducing the true story near the close of this narrative.
 The official programme was that on the first stroke of the cathedral bell, at noon, the Spanish flag floating over the governors palace should fail, and Lieu tenant Miley. one of Shs.ter's bravest and most serviceable aids, who had faced MaUsers a hundred times during the struggle. should run up fbe stars and stripes. 4 moment or two be- fore 12 loud words were heard on the roof of the palace, where Miley and his assistants were stationed, and a man in shirt sleeves, afterward found to be a jealous newspaper correspondent, was seen by those within range struggling to reach the haiyards and rob Mley of bis part in the historic proceedings. A voice, said by some to have been Shaf- ter's, called out from the plaza, where the American and Spanish dignitaries were assembled, Throw him from the roof. |" After a brief commotion the first tell stroke of the hour brought a solemn silence over the scene, the Spanish flag was lowered, aud the United States em- blem arose to the top of the staff.
 The flag ceremony closed. all eyes turned to Shafter, the central figure of the group on the plaza. One witness told me that the first glance showed him the commander of the victorious army exchanging fist blows wi;h the coatless correspondent, q terribly nu- initiating spectacle after what had just taken place. still another said that Shafter simply waved the insolent fel- low, who was venting, m abusive Ian guage, his drunken frenzy, Co one side, a Brutuslike gesture, as much as Co say. "Away, slight man " the real effect being that of lion brushing of a cuat The correspondent struck back and was promptly hustled from the spot. This last is the unprumpted version of General Ludlow, who, like every one of the hundred and fifty odd regular officers whom I talked with at Camp Wikof, appreciates his commander, yet does not pose as his apologist nor as thick and thin admirer of his methods

ContradictorN to Miles

Washington, Jan. 26.-Maj. Rufus Nj. Townsend, commisssry of sub sistence, United States volunteers, testified before the war Investigating commi .sion today that he had con stantly inspected the kitchens and supplies. and said that both the re frigerated and canned goods were good. He had never heard of chem ical treatment of the beef until he read of t iu the newspapers.
 Gen. Beaver announced that the commission had received iron. Mai. Gen. Miles several cans of roast beet forwarded to him by Capt. Bean of Battery C, from Phoenixville, Pa. who is quoted as having said that, in Ponce, cats to whom he had fed this same beef had died from eat ing it.
 The cans had been received from tbe express company in Gen. Niles office, in the presence of Maj. Mills, the recorder of the commission, who certified as 10 its identity. One can was opened. and its appearance and taste produced a favorable impres- sion on the members of the commis- sion, who inspe ,ted and sampled it. The cans were then sent to the gov ernmeut chemist for analysis.
