Freaks of Two Crazy Men.

Two crazy men are confined ID The
county Jail at present. One is a
Mexican named Louis Sanchez and
the other an American named Far
rel. Both of them are possessed of
the same hallucination that they
have a lot of enemies who want to
kill them. Sanchez was in there
seV eral days before Farrell aud was
wont to eDtreDch himself behind the
stove to keep his imagin ary foes
from getting at him. He would get
all the available boxes in the Jail
and pile them up in the open spaces
between the stove and the Jail and
would then climb over the stove
into the corner behind it and would
crouch down in perfect security
from all enemies.
When Farrell was placed in tt g
Jail he was quick to perceive the
natural advantages offered by the
stove as means OF defense, and
jumped Sanchez claim and proceed
ed TO rect forti6cation around the
stove. Sanchez apparently con-
cIuuSu Gudb n6 DdO dlICd1I d Sull-
cient number of enemies to ontend
with, and decided to let Farrell re-
main IN peaceful possession of his
entrenched position without re-
sistance, and the next best place for
security that presented itself to his
mind was the stove itself. He ac-
cordlngly Yesterday attempted to
take possession of the interior of it.
but it being smaller than he figured
on, he could not get his entire per
son inside of it. In his frantic eff
forts to do so he upset the stove
Knocked all the stove Pipe dowr
and completely annihilated Far
rell's W orks of defense.

Accident at The Dividend.

A cave in occurred at the Divi-
dend mine this morning in which
two men were pretty badly injured.
One of them was named Hal Walker
and his injuries are quite severe and
may prove fatal. The other was
named Norman, his injuries being
less serious.
The accident occurred about seven
O'Clock but the men were not found
for two hours later when they were
rescued from their perilous position.
DR.. Walls was called out by tele-
phone to attend to their injuries.
A later report says that the ex-
plosion of a blast that had failed to
go off at first was the cause of the
accident instead of cave in.

A car load of machinery arrived

Arthur NJ. Cayell, superintendent

Mr.. Cavell, as superintendent of the

developing the Columbus mine, in

goes east to secure capital to work

A telegram from New York says:
The Henrietta Gold Mining com
pany near Phenix, Arizona, was
chartered today in the state of Della
ware. The Henrietta is said by a
representative here to De a very
valuable property. Its development
has been hindered by litigation be-
gun in the territorial courts several
years ago and which ended i'll the
supreme court OF the United States
last winter.
The Mining and Scientifs Press
makes the following very fercible
argument in favor of owners of min
ing claims securing patents for their
claims at the earliest possible time:
sit is aways business. and usually
necessary. to secure U. S. patent to
a mining location. The possession
OF such title argues powerfully for
the owners belief in the value of the
property. 1t is also almost an
axiom that few mines can lay claim
to real greatness or value until or
unless it has been held up in court
by some pirate with shadowy claim
to an interest in the property, and
in such likely case a U. S. patent
provides "an ironclad potency" that
is of most value when most needed
Then, too, it is matter of profit to
the publisher of the paper nearest
the property. and usually he has
helped to make the property worth
patenting by frequent and friendly
allusion to it."

The Beers resorted to their old
tactics again on Sunday and laid a
trap for the British soldiers which
proved successful. Ths British lost
$50 men and number of guns and
supplies of various kinds. Some of
the guns we're recaptured afterward
by the British. A London telegram
speaking Of the disaster says the
public there is painfully surprised
to learn that British officers high in
position still neglect precautions
which the veriest tyro might be ex-
pected to observe, and that they
continue to blunder into traps
which the observance of the most
elementary rules would have re-
vealed. The Beers left twelve
wounded officers and seventy men
on the field.

When man attacks the ''laager"
until he gets filed up the idea
that he is the left wing of the Boer
army, and sallies forth, at midnight,
armed with six-shooter, shot gun
and Winchester, against the enemy's
"kopje," there is no law in Prescott
to prevent it apparently. Or if
there is a law against it there seems
to be weak spot some place in its
execution.

A serious accident occurred on
the Santa Fe Pacific railroad on

box when the flames poured out,
burning him badly. Fireman Green

New Money Order Regulations.

Postmaster J. W. Akers has re-
ceived circular from the postoffice
department announcing new
and radical departure in the matter
OF money order payment. Hereto
fore money orders could be re-
deemed only at the office of issue or
at the office on which they were
drawn. Under the new arrangement
they can be cashed at any money
order Office in the United States
upon proper Identification of the
person to whom they are made pay
able. This will be great conyen-
ience in great many respects as il
rot infrequently happens that part
les receive orders while away from
home and cannot cash them unit
they return. Again it makes it pos
sible to use money orders in certain
cases instead of bank drafts.

Miss Stevens Piano Recital

Miss Neatly Stevens attracted a
large audience to the Methodist
church last evening to hear her
piano recital. Miss Stevens is an
excellent performer on this instru-
ment, ranking, it is said, as the third
hest woman performer in the world.
Her recital last evening was certainly
better than anything Prescott peo
pie have had the pleasure of listen
ing to, and it was highly appreciated
by all present, and Miss Hunter,
who was instrumental in securing
her visit TO Prescott, deserves the
thanks of our music loving people.
She selected Vose s. Sons piano
from H. G. Morrow g. Co.'s large
music store i'll Phenlx for this re-
cital, her Weber Grand for some rea-
son failing to arrive. She was loud
in her praise Of the Vose piano.
Miss Stevens is among that class OF
pianists that piano houses are very
glad to send her a piano from point
to point for the sake of the advertis-
ing it affords the house. as she is
very particular about her piano and
will not perform in public ON COM
mon piano. Messrs. H. G. Morrow
& Co, western representatives for
Vose & Sons pianos arrange to sup
ply her.
