THE BISBEE HOLD-UP.
THEIR GUILT NOW CONFESSED
 BY BOTH MEN.
The Vigilance of the Officers Re- warded and the Prisoners will
 be field to Answer.

The vigilance of our local officers has been rewarded by the capture ot the two men who have been holding up the gambling houses of this town. The two men, George WOhischlegel and Raymond Owens, have been arrested after a brief career of crime in which the mere acquisition of a few dollars for the purpose of d good time was only one factor, the other essential feature of the depredationS being the firing of a shot at the man who attempted the defense of his money, and the proba- bility at all time of the taking of hu- man life. The men are known here, one having been here since boyhoOd. The trail that the officers followed up pointed to these two men and their con duct warranted the keen attention of those whose business it is to ferret out the perpetrators of crime. The spend- thrift habit of the two, the purchases they made and their actions were all keenly marked and when the time seemed ripe for the intervention of the law they were arrested.
 The result of their imprisonment was immediate as far as Owens was concerned, and he confessed, asserting however, that Wohlschlegel held up the tables and undertook the danger Ous part of the contract, he, Owens, being on the watch on the outside the saloons. The robbery at the Free Coinage was their work as well as the hold-up at Sid Harris saloon.
 WOhlschlegel remained silent how ever, until today when he too made confession of the crimes laid to his charge, and both men stand now self accused. They were arranged before his Honor Justice Williams, today at 3 o'clock, and the examination was set for tomorrow at 3 o'clock p. n. The district attorney Edward W. Land has been wired for and will be present on behalf of the prosecution.
 The sum of S7O was found on the prisoners. Among the bills was one issued by a Texas bank winch Bob Campbell identified.
 The sack which contained s2O9 of the faro bank money has been recover ed. It was concealed up Brewery ave nue and the prisoners informed the | police of its whereabouts. It still | contained a slip of paper with the | amount of the faro money on it. Bisbee Herald.

THE GILA MONSTER.
District Attorney Jones Bitten by
 One of the Reptiles.

District Attorney Wiley E. Jones is
 the owner of a splendid specimen of
 the HelOderma HOrridum, otherwise known as the Gila monster. NIT. Jones has for some time been asSiduOuS in his endeavorS to tame his pet, and was becoming Go believe that he had Mir. HOrridum completely under subjec- ton. On last Sunday morning, Jones was exhibiting the monster to some friends. He pulled up his sleeve, and then reached down into the box and graSped the reptile with his right hand just behind the fore legs. He raised the monster out of the box and called the attention of the spectators to the animals beauty, and gave them the benefit of a lecture on the natural history of the species of his pet. He gently careSSed his pet all the while, and handled him with impunity and both hands Lastly, in his discourse, MT. Jones called attention to the fact that the monster was very dOcile ami maj, admirably adapted for household pets, and that the specimen now re- posing so gracefully on his left arm was perfection in the way of gentle ness and docility.
 Mir Horridum took issue with Jones right there, and expressed disSatisfac- tiOn of the remarks by suddenly sink ing his fangs in Jones left arm, be- tween the elbow and shoulder. Con siderable force was necessary to induce the monster to loose his hold. and y'hen finally forced from his position brought with him a chunk of Jones' bicepS muscle about the size of a half dollar. It was also found necessary to cut both the outer and under shirt in order to get the reptile loose, he being highly incenSed at Jones remarks. While still holding tenaciOusly to the shirt. the monster cXuded a slimy sub stance from its mouth, which, if it had come in contact with the wound, might have made it a serious matter for MT. Jones.
 However. Jones and his monster are both alive, but the former now enter tainS opposite views to his preconceiv- ed notions of gentleness and docility. The m00ted question as to whether the bite of a monster is poisonous or not cannot be determined by this ex- perience of Mir. Jones, as, fortunately for him, he did not come in contact with any of the poisonous matter Notwithstanding this, both sides of the question will have it's supporters, and the dictionaries, in speaking of the monster, will continue to say: "It's bite is poisonous, and very frequently fatal, ''- Arizonian.

"Eathers' of Congress.

;. The courtesy title of Father of the
 Senate" or Father of the House of
 Representative" is one which belongs
 by preScriptive right to the senator or
 representative who has served longer continuously than any other who is a
 member of the body to which ne be-
 longs. Mere years of service, no matter how many, do not entitle member to
 the title unless the period has been
 unbroken: nor does seniority in years
 as marked by the calendar, says the
 Washington correspondent of the
 New York Tribune.
 William E. Allison'S service ill con greSs has covered a period of 36 years ] eight years as representative and 2S years as senator He dropped out of ! the d2d congress when he was an unSuC- cessful candidate for the United States senate against George G. Wright, and successful candidate for the same office against James Harlan, over whom he was nominated by a majority of one in the republican caucus. Since that time Father" AllisOnS service as a senator has been continuous and con SpicuouS. With single exception he has been renOminated as often as his term expired without any opposition in the party caucus, and his re-elect- ions as his own successor have never been in serious doubt
 For 20 years he has been regarded as presidential possibility, and on sev- eral occasions as strong probability His admirers believe that if his cam paignS for the presidential nomination had been as skilfully planned and man. aged by his friends as his campaigns for the senate have been by himself, he would have won the White House goal long ago.
 The Father of the House, 7" Henry H. Bingham, who represents one of the Philadelphia districts, was born in that city Dee. ], lS4L Like Senator Allison he received college education and studied law. He was aScommisSiOned lieu tenant in the Union army, and served with such gallantry and distinction during the civil war that, when it end ed, he retired from the military service wearing the well earned star of a brig adier-general. He was appointed post master of his native city in 1867, and served in that capacity i've years, in which he acquired that practical knowledged of the detaIlS of postal administration which has since made his services so valuable as a member and chairman of the pOStOfice con- mittee of the House of Representa- ! tiyes. Gen. Bingham was first elected ! to congress in 1878, and has served con tinuOusly since that time, during l6 i years of which period he has been a , member and four years chairman of | the pOStOiliCe committee.
 General Bingham is not married, and 1 it may. perhaps be worth noting as an interesting coincidence, that of the present Fathers of Congress" one is | childlesS widOwer and the other bachelor.
