Phoenix Ariz-, April 5.-Th,- follow
ing details of the ambushing OF Officers
Scarborough of Deming and Birchheld
by outlaws in the Chirucasca noun
tains has been received here
The outlaws discovered that they
were being followed and laid a trap
for the officers, who walked into it. AS
soon as they came within rifle range
the party OF three bandits opened fire.
The first volIey wounded both Scar
borough and Birchheld, one shot strik-
ing Scarborough in the leg. badly shat
tering the bone. Another struck Birch
field in the left arm. Both men were
disabled. The wounded officers held
the outlaws at bay although hard
pressed several times. A continuous
firing was kept up until dark
In the meantime Birchfield managed
to build a rude rock fort in which he
placed Scarborough, and as soon as
darkness prevented his movements
from being observed by the bandits he
slipped away, secured a horse and went
for assistance. Returning at daybreak
he found Scarborough still alive and
holding the fort. but suffering intense
pain from his wound and exposure, it
having rained and showed all through
the night The party arrived at San
Simon at 2 o'clock in the afternoon with
Scarborough. and he was sent to his
home in Deming. His wound will
probably prove fatal. A large posse has
started in pursuit of the outlaws, who
have evidently gone farther back in the
mountains, where it will be almost i'm
possible to dislodEe them

pose IS another matter. Up to the present
time II has been only his personal popu-
lar1ty that has saved him.
The affection of the Czechs for their
ruler mas been the strong power that has
prevented them from instituting open re-
belhon, but this power is slowly being
lessened- Already there are mutterings
among the Bohemians. and a few more
such decisions as this last one Will be suf-
ncient to inaugurate a revolution that will
shake the empire.
Against such an uprising the German
element would be powerless, for if there
is one thing that the German element
lacks 1t IS the strength that results from
compactness. The Czechs act as a cor
porate unit on all political issues. while
the strength of the Germans is divided
among a hundred issues. Some make
a creed of anti-Semitism some work
only for universal suffrage; others are
wholly taken up with fighting the Catho-
lie church. others with protecting the in
terests of the land owners. Against the
dashing serried attacks Of the Czechs
they would probably be able to offer only
a weak and disunited opposition
Such IS the condition of the affairs in
Austria today. The powder is ready to be

DEATH GAME AS FORETOLD.
Strange Series of Predictions Filled
to the Letter.

Williamsport. Pa. April 5.-The fun
eral here today OF the body Of Mrs.
Johanna Schroeder was the sequel to a
startling prediction made by Mrs E. J.
Demorest, pastor Of the Congregation
Of Spiritualists here.
Three weeks ago Mrs. Demorest told
Mrs. Charles Nuss that soon a woman
would come to her house and die there
Mrs. Schroeder soon afterWard became
a temporary member of Mrs Nuss'
family. A few days thereafter another
spiritualist medium told Mrs. Nuss that
she saw a coffin being brought to her
house
Mrs. Schroeder was taken i'll and sank
rapidly The attending physician said
she could not live long. To this Mrs.
Schroeder, who was also a spirituaIlst,
replied that she would live ''iust four
hours yet" Just to the minute when
the four hours had expired she died.

MRS. CLEVELAND DISCHARGED.

The preliminary examination of Mrs. S.
grand larceny, took place in Justice Har-
ringtOn's court this afternoon, and the
lady was, on motion of Deputy County
Attorney Kelley, discharged, the evil
dence of the prosecuting witness going
to show hat the whole matter had been
settled in a civil action.
J. Seller was the prosecuting witness,
and it appears that last May he roomed
in the M. & B. block, kept by the de-
PENDANT, and upon going away left his
trunk in her possession. He claimed that
it contained goods to the value of $215. so,
but on cross-examination admitted that
the sun represented the price he had
paid for the goods, and he "a made no
allowance for depreciation caused by
wear n tear. 1t developed that he had
recovered nearly all of the goods on exc
cution in a civil suit.
E. H. Mooth, the young man who
claimed that he represented IN eastern
collection agency, and made a contract
for collecting the bills Of the electric
light company of this city, had a hear
ing in Justice Harrington's court his
afternoon on a charge of grand larceny
and was bound over to the district court
in bonds fixed at 5000. 1t is claimed that
Mooth collected the bills placed in his
hands, but failed to make an account
ing to the electric company.
James Coleman had his preliminary
hearing on a charge of grand larceny
before Justice Harrington this afternoon
and was discharged.

B. Huddleston, living at 1919 East Park
street. The name of the other could not
be learned. A daughter of Huddleston
is employed at Strains department store,
and a little army of frightened lcerks is
there who have been exposed to the dis
ease. Besides that, no doubt many
customers have taken the same chances.
Miss HuddlestOn was finally sent
home and her father to the pest house.
Considerable excitement was noticed
today around the Monitor block, where
County Physician Stephens found six
cases last night. The place was quaran-
tined. and guards placed on duty. DR..
Stephens left the cases to DIR. Spellman,
City physician, who, it is said. did not
look after the matter of food for the
patients, SO they broke away from the
guards, and scattered about the town.

A MURDEROUS ASSAULT
A GALENA STREET WOMAN ATTACKED BY AN UNKNOWN MAN
LAST NIGHT AND WILL DIE FROM INJURIES INFLICTED.

An East Galena street woman known
as Blondinette was murderously as
saulted by some unknown brute last
night and she will die from the injuries
inflicted.
She is at st. Paul's hospital suffering
from a compound fracture of the skull
and the weapons used by the assailant
were a water pitcher and a heavy drink
ing glass. Dr.. Schwartz states that she
Is steadily sinking and that death is
only a matter of time.
1t appears that about 9 O'Clock the
woman living in the crib adjoining
that of Blondinette heard a row going
on in the house and thinking that the
woman was being abused, knocked on
the thin partition separating the two
cribs. She then heard a blow struck
which was followed by a scream and the
sound of a body falling upon the floor.
She rusher out into the street and blew
a police whistle and then with some
other women made an investigation Of
the crib where the trouble appeared to
be.
Two stories are told Of what followed.
One is to the effect that a man, rather
portly, wearing a moustache, dark
clothes n a stiff hat emerged from the
house and walked down the street The
other is to the effect that one of the
girls went up to the door and raped
and then the lights in the house were
~extinguished and the women on the
outside heard the heavy tramp of a
a as he made his escape through the
back door.
The front door was forced open and a
sight greeted the gaze of those who
forced their way into the room.
Blondinette was lying in the center Of
the floor. her head reposing in a pool
OF blood that momentarily grew larger
as 1t flowed from an ug1ycut in the head.
BY her side lay her little black and tan
dog gasping his last, undoubtedly
wounded to death by the same instru-

THE GREY EAGLE CLAIM.

The trial of the suit of Lulu F. Largely
against j. B. Leggat, an action having
as it's object the quieting of title to the
Grey Eagle fraction quartz claim, was
commenced in Judge Clancy's court this
morning without a jury. Testimony
was taken during the entire day and
will probably lap over into tomorrow.
The property involved was bought at a
partition sale by Mr.. Leggat IN June II.
1896, but since then a controversy has
arisen as to whether Mr.. Leggat bought
for himself or P. A. Largely, who was
then alive. -
