BACK TO HIS LAIR
Robt. Fromm An Alleged" Confidence
 Man Returns Home.

Robert Fromm, chief of the Phoenix fire department, has been in San Francisco on short visit. During his stay there he achieved notOriety as a supposed cOnfid nee man and as he is expected home this morning all his ac- quaintances should lock up their watches, chains and bank rolls till after they have read the following s-Jry. which is taken from the San Francisco Chronicle of August 30:
 Bob Fromm, chief of the fire d-- partment of Phoenix, A. T.. who left here for his home last night. had an experience jus, before departing that caused much merriment for his fri nds, but put him and two members of the local police department in an odd D. sition for a few minutes.
 "F'romm came up from Los Angeles about a week ago on the steamer and took up quart IFS at 209 Kearney street. In some way the police became con- vinced that the fire chief was a dan gerous confidence man and accordingly d close watch of his movements was ordered.

THE GREENE-LINDSAY FIGHT
The Former Relinquishes His Claim
 to Disputed Mines.

Information has been received from La Cananea, Sonora, that the Greene and Mitchell faction have at last con- cluded to discontinue their resistance of the Mexican officials, In so far as relates to the group of mines which have been in controversy between l.. l.. Lindsay and William c. Greene. This fight between Lindsay and Greene has been going on for some two years. l. involved title and ownership to some of the most promising mines in the very heart of La Cananea district. At one time MT. Lindsay had these mines sold to w. A. Clark, provided the claims of Greene could be settled, but Clark relinquished his option on the mines after holding it for upwards of year, evidently having become dis couraged by the long delay in proving the correctness of Mir. Lindsay's title to the property.
 In due course the litigation regard ing these titles was prosecuted. and the rights of MT. Lindsay were investi- gated by the proper departments in the City of Mexico, with the final result that MT. Lindsays titles were approved by the Mexican government. After reaching this point Mir. Lindsay se- cured the assistance of the local judge in Sonora and proceeded to the mines with the expectation of Eaking pos session by virtue of his deeds and pat ents from the Mexican government. But in this case as in the case of the Cobre Grande Copper company, MT. Greene, though his employees. Mitchell and others, offered resistance and re- fused to turn over possession to the local judge. This occurred some two or three weeks ago and was mentioned exclusively in The Republican. At this time the litigation between the Cobre Grande company concerning their mines in the same district. was being tried before the supreme court of Mex ico, and when the news of this re- sistance of Greene's in the Lindsay matter was made known in the City or Mexico. evidently Greene feared it would have an adverse effect upon the Cobre Grande fight, for he immediately telegraphed to Mitchell who was in charge at La Cananea, to withdraw all resistance in the Lindsay matter. In the meantime the local justice who had thus been opposed by Mitchell con Cluueu IL better 10 take no cndnceSs so in order to secure the necessary phys ical force to carry out his order, a requisition was made upon the govern ment of Sonora for sufficient soldiers to enable the judge ito carry out his plan of putting MT. Lindsay in pos session. The result of these combina- tions Is that MT. Lindsay is now in pos session of some very valuable mines in La Cananea district, which NTr. Greene has heretofore always claimed as his own, and a part therefore of the prop erty supposed to be owned by the Greene Consolidated Copper company, which has a capital of $5,OOOOOO and is being floated in New York by Walter s. Logan.
 It is understood that MT. Lindsay has sold his interest in these mines, and in other mines in the same neigh

borhood, to an Indianapolis syndicate, amongst whose members are Senator Fairbanks and Mayor Taggert
 The difference between the CObra Grande company case against Greene. and the Lindsay case against Greene, is that when the local justice attempted to put the Cobre Grande company in possession of its mines, MT. Greene re sisted and compelled the Cobre Grande company to carry on it's fight through the higher courts, where it is now pro gressing, while in the Lindsay case Mr Greene evidently concluded it the bet ter policy to allow the justices No pro- cel d, and so end the matter.

GLAD BAUTE WAS MURDERED.
His Mother-in-Law Prays That 4Iis
 Slayer May Escape.

St. Louis, Sept. 1.-An unusual scene was witnessed this afternoon at tha morgue, where the body of Henry Baute, who was shot Friday afternoon by William G. Allen. was placed on view. Mrs. Emma Baute, his widow, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Thomas Schweikert, entered the place and after standing for some moments viewing the body through the glass slowly turned and started to go out.
 Suddenly Mrs. SchWeikert paused a moment and then sank to her knees Raising her hands and her eyes sha repeated the opening words of a prayer and then earnestly asked that the foot steps of the murderer might be guided so that he would come to no trouble and that the police might not catch him, but l.hat he might escape scathless. She also asked that he might be for given for his crime, not only here, but also in heaven. In the next breath she prayed that the murdered man. her son-in-law. might be condemned 10 eternal punishment for his actions in this world, and she closed with q ve- hement tirade against the murdered man.
 In explanation of her prayer, Mrs. SchWeikert said that Baute deserteI | his wife, her daughter. two years ago and since that time had contributed nothing toward her support.

Dillon and Ryan went into the room and when about to arrest FrOmm We're checked and mortified by papers that demonstrated Fromm's official stand ing. It is said that the detectives re treated precipitatcly."
 As soon as the above came to hand The Republican put its long distance ear to the telephone and got a version of the story that gives fuller and more resting details. On board the steamer between Los Angeles and San Francisco MT. Fromm became friendly with an old duffer who looked like a superannuated rancher or prozpector. Both went to the Grand hotel the first night and the next day the brave fire man fell in with W. J. Bushley. for merly of Phoenix, and moved his lodg ing-s to 2G9 Kearney street. On the af ternoon of the 3Cth when Fromm was preparing to leave the ciry he was ac companied to his rooms by Messrs. Bushley and Otto Roussell, who was formerly employed in this city by F. w. Thayer.
 The two detectives We're on their trail and Were spotted by the landlady, who rushed up ahead of the officers and pleaded with MT. Fromm to depart by means of the fire escape. But the doughty fireman knew too much about those things to risk his life that way, so he stood his ground.
 The officers came, looked over MT. Fromm's credentials, and making all sorts of apologies. suggested that the drinks were on them.
 In the explanations which followed. the detectives said the old man was d worker aLd they took Messrs. FrOmm and Bushley for his pals and Roussell for the sucker.

THE FAULT FINDER

A letter directed to the Fault Finder was received at this office yes terday. The writer has grievance against the street sprinkling depart ment and desires that it might be given publicity through this department. He complains of the worse than senseless, almost criminal practice of deluging the street crossings to the discomfort of pedestrians. This is done nowhere else in the United States than Phoenix, but then there are no such drivers of sprinkling carts anywhere else. The writer mentions two families who had been allured to Phoenix by the misrep- resentation that it was always dry here. They found lodgings on one of the northern avenues and were com pelled to wade daily through mud. They liked the climate, the conditions over head, but could not stand the streets, made intolerable by the sprinking carts. They went away in search of a place which was naturally dry and kept dry. Of course street sprinkling is ne- cessary but judgment should be mingled with the water.
 
 I do not imagine that any complaint made by anybody but a councilman would correct the Viciousness of the drivers of sprinkling carts. They are impervious to every remonstrance and criticism and are affected only by the fear of losing their jobs. It is possible that criticisms made through the news papers never reach them. The average driver seems to think that his value is measured by the volume of water he handles. It is notorious fact observed by me in the course of several years that the streets in the vicinity of homes of cOuncilmen are kept flooded. l heard a member of the present coun- cil say that previous to his election to office he never saw a sprinkling cart pass his door but once, and that time the driver had lost control of his horses and they were running away. After his election the street in front of his house became a disagreeable mud puddle. Sprinkling carts were driven around that block at all hours of the day and night The councilman said he would rather put up with the dust again but the drivers of the sprink ing carts were so earnest in their efforts to please him that he hadn't the heart to interfere with them. A few days ago l saw a driver sprinkling the alley, an untraveled thoroughfare, in the rear f this councilman's house. However. if the carts will carry more water into the alleys and less upon the streets we will not complain.
 Speaking of councilmen, reminds me that the, city council not long ago bought three lots on West Jefferson street for a corporation yard. It is to be used for q city corral and a place to store wagons and other like property of the city. Some suspicious persons believe there was something inside that real estate transaction. That belief is based upon the price paid for the three lots, $1,S00. Supposing that prop erty in that vicinity was actually sell ing at 5000 a lot, there is property in the southern part of the city equally convenient to the center of town and in every respect just as desirable for d corporation yard which could have been bought for $100 a lot

MYSTERIOUS EARTH SHAKING.
Rumbling Noise and a Quaking That
 Upset the People of Horton, w. Va.


 Upset the People of Horton, w. Va.
 Cambridge, Md, Sept. IA report reached here that the people of Hor- ton. w Va. a town on the West Vir- ginia railroad. were nearly frightened to death last night. There was a loud rumbling noise followed by an eXplo- sion back on the mountain that made the earth heave. Many of the villagers thought the world was coming to an end and fell on their knees and went to praying. Some of those who Were not too badly frightened went out to investigate. When they reached the place where the report seemed to come from the ground was found to be so bot that it almost burned their fee5. while the air seemed to be filled with stitling smoke. There were no surface indications to indicate that volcanic eruption had taken place, but the op IT. ion prevails that the mysterious oc- currence was the result of a subteGran- can disturbance.
 There is supposed to be coal oil in that region and many thought at frs: that the explosion had been caused by the oil becoming ignited by burning brush.
 The village of Horton is two miles away from where the disturbance oc- cured. yet the houses rocked until the sleepers Were nearly thrown from their beds. The people refused to go to work this morning, and men and women stood in groups and discussed the mys- tery. The mountain is so densely cOV- cred with scrub oak that it is almost impossible to penetrate for full inves- tigatiOn.

ON DANGEROUS GROUND.

Today's dispatches from Washing
ton are enough to take the peoples
breath away. They declare that the
Administration Is thinking of standing
by Japan in her demand that Russia
shall not land more troops IN China
than is necessary to preserve the peace.
England Is Japans friend and ally,
which may have something to do with
the eagerness of the Administration
to commit America to an "entangline
alliance" relating to the dissolution or
China.
One of the so,called diplomats at
that President Mckinley has 100000
soldiers In the Philippines who would
be glad of the opportunity 10 cease
from chasing dying natives in order
10 take part in real warfare III China
The people of the United states
ought TO have something TO say about
what part their country shall have
In the Eastern muddle. II Will doubt
less be the opinion of Il majority OF
the people that If Uncle sam cannot
subdue tribe of what the AdminIstra-
tion organs term "uncivilized and ny
TX natives" he should think twice
before seeking a conflict with n power
OF the magnitude of Russia, ospecllly
when the seat of war is to be about
twelve thousand miles away from
home.
OF course the people VIII not jump
at conclusions until they nave had an
opportunity to determine what the
Administration really intends to do in
the matter, but even IL these reports
from Washington are all talk,--as viii
be assumed when the Administration
statesmen lind out their unpopuarlty,
such talk Is dangerous ana, in view
of the imperlalistc tendencies dis
Played iof late by the Administration
