Dlseouraslns Reports From prouth'
Stricken Parts Of Arizona.

Los Angeles. Calf. July ls.-Re-
ports from the drouth stricken sec.
tions of Arizona are 70 TIE effect that
every water hole and most OF the
wells have gone dry. In consequence
cattle are dying bf the thousands, and
their shrunken frames dot the desert
country. The loss to the owners of
herds cannot be computed, as in their
gaunt condition no market can be
found. Rarely in the history OF the
territory has water in the ella and
Salt rivers been so scarce. Not drop
is reported in the ella and there is
none in the San Pedro from Benson
to its confluence with the Salt river
above Phoenix. At Casa Grande the
immense reservoir is dry. the supply
having long since been exhausted.
Crops OF alfalfa barley and wheat, be-
tween Florence and Casa Grande, as
well as on the Indian reservation at
Sacton. where the Pimas dwell, are
beyond hope. Added to this all. is the
destruction of timber by forest fires
which continue to rage in the Santa
Catalina mountains.

ENDS IN MURDER.
Fatal Outcome Of Horse Race at a
colfax County Ranch.


Maxwell City. N. NJ. July 11.-A
fight occurred at Boyd's ranch, Sunday
afternoon, which resulted in the death
of Carl Osborne and probable death Of
Frank Sweaney, who was badly
wounded in the affray. 1t has been a
custom for the cowboys to gather at
that place on Sundays and engage in
horse-racing, baseball and other sports.
And on this occasion a quarrel origi-
mated over a decision given by Swea-
ney, who had been chosen as Judge of
the race between Osborne's pony and
a horse owned by some movers who
were camping at that place. The race
was run for $50 purse. the unknown
horse winning by slight margin. Os-
borne claimed a foul and dispute
arose between Sweaney and Osborne,
" which the former was stabbed sew
eral times, but retaliated with a As
caliber Colts, firing two shots. both
taking effect, in the latter's abdomen,
killing him almost instantly. His
body was taken to Mr.. Boyd's house
Sweaney was not intercepted and his
are at present unknown.
1t is thought that he and the movers
had arranged a scheme to beat the
boys out of their money. The tragic
al ending of this days sport will pro-
badly put a stop to horse-racing on
Sunday at that place.

Operators at Scranton, Pa, admit
that Mr.. Hanna is the central figure in

be at sea as to the details, they are
confident that he knows beforehand
what will be acceptable TO the miners,
and whatever conditions he has exacted
or is exacting from the coal men in
New York will be nothing less than
what will be fully satisfactory to the
miners. This confidence is heightened
by generally credited story that the
delay in issuing the strike order was
to give President Mitchell time to in
terest Senator Hanna in the efforts at
effectiug a settlement. Nothing would
be given out by the local operators as
to what transpired at the Wilkesbarre

the morning of the Goth from Libley, a
mining settlement at the foot of the
mountains in Old Forge township,
about six miles from Scranton, Pa.
Three men were wounded in the row,
in which about 90 revolver shots were
fired. The participants were all Ital-
ians, and were mostly men who had,
before the strike began, been working
in Jermyn No. l mine, near Rendham,
as non-unionists, but who became
members Of the United Mine Workers
two weeks ago. Previously there was
bad blood between these men and
others Of their own nationality who
had been on strike at Jermyns mine
for six months, and several clashes oc-
Cured. The fight occurred on the
roadway near Barbertown on the night

A TRUE HOROSCOPE.

Chief interest In this connection at

In this the believers in astrology d.
vine a prophecy OF the conditions that
actually existed this year between the
dates mentioned, May 81 to June 81,
when the American troops in the Phil

destined to be sent soon to China,
where the fighting Ninth" recently
met with reverses.
The planetary conditions on which
the horoscope was based were the rela-

Jupiter and Uranus, with maleflc Sa-
turn scowling close at hand, which
make, according to the horoscope.

And as IL the troubles in China were
not enough, it is pointed out also that
the horoscope cast over a year ago
foretold troubles in factory and sales
