Tuneau Notes.

By Hoffman.
 Supt. H. F. Robinson, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Co.,, and son, Don Robinson, made a round trip to Skag- town aud Sitka on the last Cottage City. They say that Robinson stock has gone up bit in the company since the "old man" so ably boSsed the job of raising the Topeka and rescued her from the rocks in Wrangel narrows. The son of his father is made Of the right sort of stuff, for he served his country in the army in the late war with Spain in the Cuban campaign, and Robinson pere thinks he would have taken San Juan hill alone and unaided if Shafter had given the boy the chance. Don Robinson is preparing for and eX- poets to be admitted to West Point this year. He is said to be an excellent performer on the violin, but prefers the smell of gunpowder to making the cat strings weep with ecstacy.

LIME WATERS MANY USES.

Few hOusekeepers realize She useful
 ness of lime water in the economy of the household While it can be bought already prepared at any drug store, it can easily be made at home if cne is SD situated as to get the lime. Put a Iiece of fresh unslacked limse-about half a peck--into a large stone jar and pour over it slowly (so as not to allow it ito slacken too rapidly) four gallons of holt water. Stir until thoroughly dissolved, and then allow it to settle. Repeat this process several times dur ing the day, and then carefully pour of into boGtles all that comes clear and Mmpid. Many people who find that milk distrasseS them will feel no i'll effects if a 1easpoonful of lime wa ter is added to each glass they drink If put into milk that is liable to curdle when heated, it will prevent its dcing so. For burns and scalds it will be found most effectual when mixed with an equal part Cf linseed oil. This, in fact, is the "c;urrou oil'' which the Welsh miners always keep ready for use in case of accidents in the mines. It will also be found useful in cleaning babies nursing bottles or small cream jugs, purifying and sweatening them without leaving any unpleasant tasfa behindI-NetW York Tribune.

CONVERSION or JEROME
A woman Who Predicted lis RegeR-

Thc-e were many wild rumors in Phoenix yesterday when the first in complete news Of the Jerome fire reached town. There was one man here who was present. at the deStruc- -Tcn Of the camp last September. Mrs. Thomas one of Phlclenixs representa- ives Of thd Salvation Army, was here at the same time. She was us {Eg the fire as an object lesson, a wis itation of Gods wrath upon the sinful camp. She stood in the street and prayed fer the Sodl-im and Gomorrah Of Arizona and said she was pained to see that the fire had not purified the place. but had only temporarily inter nupted the iniquity.

AN INDIAN ROMANCE
In Which an Old Phoenix prospector
 Was an Actor.

uncle Joltn Clancy, we'll known in the territory and cousin of Bob" Groom, yesterday celebrated his 71st birthday. There is an air Of mystery about the old man, and it will be dis- covered by anybody who engages in a conversation with him that he is non 1 communicative about certain periods of his life. The fact is that although he has lived in this territory for a number of years, and in California he was known as a '49er, there are few people in the west who know of his earlier exploits.
 Eight years Of Uncle Johns" life are now almost a blank to him. When a youngster ten years of age he lived n small village near Kansas City. He had hunting propensities and frs- quently strolled few miles from the village on expeditions. At that time the country sw3rmGd with Indians. q peaceftal variety, however Young Clancy frequently mat Indians in his hunting tours and finally became fa- miliar with them.
 He went hunting daily, but that was not regarded as extnaorGf nary. because everyone knew of his antipathy to school, bud there was considerable alarm in the village, when after two days had elapsed since young Chaney left on one expedition, nothing was seen of him.
 As a matter of fact there were two purposes. wttch Clancy had in view when he left for the woods. He was enamored Of an Indian maiden a few years older than himself, and the squaws parents did not discourage his suit. Although he was romantic he had no thought of marrying tha young squaw.. Her parents had q diff. ferent view. So one day they a.6duct- ed young Chaney who lived with the tribe for eight years. After 2 year he had no more inclination to return home, but his father who was well off. exhausted every means trying to To cate him.
 Tn the meantime Clancy was not great many miles from his home, but he was fast becoming InCianized He learned to speak more than half dozen Indian tongues. He was with a tribe called the Kaws who had been segregated from the POttawottocnie h. dians. He did not remain steadfaSt in his love for the young Squaw who lad been the means of his abduction, but became a hardened buck and spent most of his ti re hunting.
 Yesterday he described graphically the Indian manner Of hunting buffalo. The veterans Of the tribe looked upon his as a rsing young buck, and he can remember the dis. gust on their faces when he agreed to be restored to his parents. The Kaws are now extinct. and the buffalo almost, but Uncle John's'' memory is | alive a11 painful. He regrets the time he fooled away with the Indians. 1

AN ASH FORK AFFAIR
A Han PrObebIy Fatally Shot by a
 Hobo.

There was bold, outrageous and
 perhaps tragic incident at Ash Fork on
 Thursday right About 10 o'clock
 2 tramp broke into the bakery of the
 Harvey eating house. He was detect
 ed and captured. His captcrs decided to tie him in a chair and keep him un-
 til the next train left for Prescott. He arms were bound, and while some one was getting it for him, he suddenly drew a revolver and holding tlie by islanders at bay backed out into the night.
 Mir Keith, cne of the managers. fired upon him from a window as he was leaving the building, slightly f%ornding him in tEe shoulder Just then a dishwasher~ by the name of whci had been asleep. awakened by the pistol shot, ran out, and seeing the tramp retreating. tried to capture him. The tramp fired at him at clCEe range, the ball passing hlough the right lung The hobo. it Is supposed, boarded the westbou1d limited which pasEei1 scion afterwa.I. He was arrested at Kingman and brought rack. It is thought that c>chwartzmeyer will die.
 Another account states that the tramp had thrown a dynamite bomb into the e1ting tl0rse. Ash Fork is sGud to be infested by the most dan gerCUs tramps on the read. Their bes'3aTy is much the same as robbery. for the request is accompanied by threat. Norman Lack,and said that Lour of them demanded money of him for supper the other night.

He was a telegraph operator on the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis road 25 years ago. After two years service at the key he was pro noted to the responsible position of chief clerk. Then he became the as sistant of the general man ager, the late George H.

The time he should have spent in school was wasted.
 But Uncle Johns" life since has not been one of continual reverses. He went to California in the early days, and has since been connected with mining. He located claims which today could be bought for nothing less than millions. Several times he has possessed fortunes but he has always managed to lose them easier than he could make them.
 His experiences with Indians did not cease in Missouri. but they have been of a very different kind. He spent four years in northern Cali fOrnia. He doesn't rem ember the name of the California indians but they were called Captain Jacks" He was one of a band of twenty-three scouts which in four years. reduced the population of that tribe from 1,200 to something over 200 Indians.
 ''UncFa John" is now passing a monotonous existence on mining claim near the Phoenix mine He has almost lost his eyestght and is growing decrepit otherwise, but he doesn't give up hope. He has made money mining and he hopes to do it again

SMALLPOX AMONG zUNIs.
Miss DeSette Says That They Are Free
 From the Disease.

Miss DeSette who has been visiting at the Indian school for a few days, left Santa Fe Friday night for Indian apoIs. She reports the zunis as en- tirely recovered from the effects of smallpox and busy with farming.
 All but four of the families who re- mained in the village washed their clothing and bedding, wh!tewashed their houses and carboIzad their floors undeg the direction of Miss De- Sette The four who refused were the Uaprogressive element, to which, un- fortunately, the governor Of the pueblo and his staff belong.
 AS early as November 16, this gov iarnor was requested by the principal of the school to isolate the first case of smallpox, and he refused to do so- The terrible mortality which followed. he accounted for by the presence Of witches" Tn spite Of his opposition, Miss DeSette succeeded admirably in her relief and sanitary work, having spent $752 in clothing, food and med ical supplies.
 Among the items of goods given to the poor were 2,29O yards of cloth and 156 blankets. The funds were given

A NEWSpApER TRADE
The Said J. O. Dunbar Accused oI
 PreCipifafing IT.

One J. O. Dunbar, is on the high
 road to calamity. He is threatened by
 Editor N. A. Morford of the Phoenix
 Herald with libel proceedings in that
 he, the said J. o. Dunbar
 yesterday morning procured the
 publication by a certain Phoe-
 nix newspaper, towit: the Ari-
 zona Gazette, of an alleged article,
 purpoIting to describe under the guise
 of harmless bit of public informa-
 tion, the circumstances of the sale and
 transfer of the Phoenix Herald to a
 multitude of gentlemen, more or less
 prominent in publc life and more or
 less highly esteemed by their neigh
 bors in a private capacity. It is in
 timated, if not averred by MT
 Morford, that his business would have been injured by this publication if the people of Phoenix were in the habit of believing what they read in the Gazette.
 This implication that the readers of the Gazette do not read it for accurate and exact information, but for the unprofitable satisfaction of their daily curiosity regarding the heights to wEIl6h the unrestrained human imag- ination can soar, estops the said N A. Morford from claiming that the bus mess of the Phoenix Herald has suf- fered any damage by reason of the publication procured by the said j. o. Dunbar. MT. Morford's claim for damages must therefore be confined to and be based upon the mental anguish occasioned by the said publication, which he further intimate5 is prsma- ture, in that the deal therein described has not yet been closed.
 A~1t is further gathered from ths complaint that the said Dunbar is guilty of having made a noise and otherwise conducted himself in an unselemly manner in the presence of hen on.
 It is alleged that the said Dunbar had an ulte1ior mohive; that he has been going up and down the street, telling with comprehensive and uni versal confdentiality, that he was about to buy the Phoenix Herald on behalf of large syndicate of moneyeG i and ambitious gentlemen. These con fidental utterances by the said Dun bar are said to have disturbed the quiet and orderly proceedings of the Salvation Army and the Phoenix brass band and to have interrupted the commerce and traffic of the city |
 It is further set forth in the com | plaint that the said Dunbar has been i thronging the offices of the real estate ! agents of the oity to the exclusion Of i other customers, making inquiry re | garding a suitable site for a first-class ! afternoon paper. It is also said, but ! not in MT. Morford's complaint, that | the said Dunbar has retained a large l corps of architects who are now en- ! gagged in preparing plans for a struc- ! ture beftting the size and importance | of the Phoenix Daily Herald, when the | said J. o. Dunbar shall assume the | of it. It is also reported | that a large body of men at the in- 1 stiga:ion of the said J. O. Dunbar are

BAPTIST ANNIVERSARIES
.aCfS Of Infere st Concerning Bap-
 fists and inc Coming neetinaS.

The national Baptist anniversaries the first time they have ever been ap- pointed for a city west of the Rocky mountains. These anniversaries, some times called the May meetings, are at tended by thousands of delegates and visitors representing all the states and territories of the Union. Rev. Dr. Halsey Of this city will represent the Phoenix Baptist church and also the Arizona Baptist association Chaplain Winfield Stott was appointed a dele gate from the Arizona association. but has not yet decided to attend the meetings. It was expected that Rev. George H. Brewer would also attend these anniversaries but he has de- cided instead of doing so to attend the national convention of the Baptist Young Peoples Union to be held in 3ichmcGd, Virginia Rev. Lewis Hal sey and Miss Gen2vieve Kennedy are the delegates of the Phoenix Baptist Young Peoples Union to the San Francisco meetings.
 Last year the summary of statistics showed the RaDtists to have in the United States 4,055, ,S06 members 1,6U9 associations. 43,397 churches, 27,355 ministers. The increase in member ship during the year was more than me hundred thousand Their church property was valued at $89, ,857 ,2U7 They had 22,5G7 Sunday schools with l,801,153 teachsrs and scholars.

now prowling about in Kirkland val ley, looking for a suitable quality of tufa to be used in the construction of the new home of the Phoenix Daily Herald. The said J. o. Dunbar is a tufa expert, as the capitol ste com miss. .olers and contractors are pain fully aware The objections of the said Dunbar to tufa as a building rock are not general but are confined to those tufa quarries lying in close proximity to the s. F., P & P. rail road and whose contents are likely to be shaken and damaged by the con- cusSion incident to the passage of heavily laden and rapidly running trains.
 The quarrymen of the said Dunbar are therefore instructed to select the tufa for ths regenerated Phoenix Herald brilding from quarries lyirg as remote as may 3ba found from the S. F., P. & P. right of way. It is generally agreed that the complaint oT MT Morfcrd against the said J. O. Dunbar is we'll founded. It is difficult to conceive of a more raDrehensib1e, unlawful unne:g :ghborly, not to say un- Christian proceeding, than the requirement Of a newspaper or other property without the knowledge Of the proprietor.
 Newspapers should be acquired only from the just consent of thelr own CTS. This journalistic imperialism and this dangerous expansion ten dency Of the said Dunbar is worthy to be frcwned upon by all good and pa -riotic citizens.
