BOER STILL
IS AF|EL.D
The Fox De. Wet Has
Not Been Caught.
A HARD CHASE GOES ON
Sir Robert Reed Advocates Amnesty
and Helping the
Farmers.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch to ]
the Tribune from London says. De- :
Wet. 1.-The fox" is still afield and run
uing to cover at Reddershunrg, with
his pursuers close behind. Dewet, in /
stead Of following the direct route from
Rockville to Wepener, where he would
have been headed off by the column
sent to intercept him, has clrcied
around Knox's forces, recrossed the
Caledon river ahead Of them, regaineo
the Smithfield road and doubled back
upon his first track. 1t has been
wonderful fox hunt, and has not yet
Tended. Knox's troopers have not lost
sight of the brush during the long CIR
cult and are riding hard The per-
sistency with which the English flying
columns hang upon Dewets flank and
keep I'D a running fight is better PROOF
of ultimate success than the assump-
ition of sanguine experts that the wary
f,,erri,Ia will be entrapped at Redders-
lburg by the column waiting for him.
Davet has the advantage of knowing
every foot of the country, but there VIII
he limits to his powers of endurance II
Lnox,s troopersc as is generally be-
lu.ved in military circles here, are well

are commenting upon the fact ina
General French, the best CAVIAR ma
on the British side is not employe
against Dewet but the probable expla

from commanding a small Tying co

or ed in the DISPATCHES from the iioi

/
The two lovers recovered their
senses about the same time and there
was a little scene that brought about
a perfect understanding between them.
Miss Riners was greatly and certainly
most agreeably surprised when she
found herself able to sit up and was
told that Fred was alive and unhurt.
He must have wings she said. The
foolish lover was as persistent as ever
though he was hardly able to move.
When his sweetheart bent over him
his first words were: viii you marry
me now. Lena?" Everybody heard the
reply: Yes. | am ready to marry you
at any moment. but. Fred. l am afraid
that you are crazy" He was not at all
crazy. Those who know him best say
that he is a very sensible young man.
He is industrious. temperate and hon
est. and in every way worthy of the es-
Unable young lady whose heart he
had won long before he made his fool
ish Jump from the PecoS bridge.
When the story of the extraordinary
occurrence was first repeated in Del
Rio and other towns near the Pecos
people laughed about it and treated it
with Indifference. but since then Mrs.
Merry, the chaperon of the picnic par
ty and other eStimable ladies and
gentlemen who witnessed Mr.. OAR
that they are ready to make an Aft
davit substantiating the facts as they
have stated them. There is no room
to doubt the word of such people.
Frederick A. Darmon most certainly
jumped from the Pecos bridge into the
river and ne is alive to tell the story
of his foolish feat.
From the ground below full grown
man standing on top of the Pecos
bridge looks like a small boy. Rail-
road trains run very slowly while
crossing the lofty structure and few
people are capable of summoning suf-
ficient courage to take a second look
from the windows of the passenger
coaches. With the exception of the
stone pillars upon which the great
steel columns are placed the whole
bridge is composed of iron and steel.
1t is one of the sights of the Sunset
road and travellers from every part
of the world often stop to look at it.
Great engineers regard it a some of the
grandest triumphs of mechanical gen.
ius to be credited to the nineteenth
century. 1t is believed that it will
withstand the action of the elements
for many centuries.

WATER STORAGE.

WATER STORAGE.
The question of water storage for ir-
rigation purposes is now being agitat-
ed throughout the territory. There are
many streams nthe southern part of
the territory that will hold water suffi-
cient to irrigate large areas of turtle
lands and the citizens are endeavoring
to raise funds to build dams on every
stream possible.
DREDGE AT WORK.
The government is doing some i'm
portant work on the Colorado river
on the west boundary of Arizona. A
big dredge is kept constantly at work
deepening the channel of the river with
the purpose of making it navigable
to point fifty miles above Yuma
Private companies are also improving
the river above that point.
PASTORS PLACED.
The twentieth annual conference of
the Methodist church in Arizona clos
ed at Phoenix Monday to meet next
year in Tucson. The reports of the
church's growth and prosperity in the
territory were EXTREMITY gratifying

eral new missions. Pastors were sup
piled to all the churches in the terri
tory.
SELLING PLAZAS.
Inc city or tucson has decided to
sell the property heretofore laid out
for use as public plazas to secure mon
ey with which to complete their sewer
system and to improve other park sites
which will be retained. The grounds
will be sold at public auction. That
city will spend thousands of dollars
on the sewers and proposes to have
one of the most complete systems in
the southwest.
TRAIN ROBBERS ON TRIAL.
The Tombstone train robbery case
in which the eX-chief of police of Ell
Paso took an important part, is being
heard in the federal district court at

be watched with interest in this city.

George Owings. William Downing

United States mails, and it is thought
they will plead guilty before the case
closes.

through with them the territorial
courts will handle them for holding up
the train and attempting murder.
There are supposed to have been sew
eral others interested in the affair but

FEEDSTUFF HIGH.
1t is generally conceded that there
will not be a great many cattle fed
at the principal feeding points in Tex
as this winter, owing to the rise in
the price of feedstuff. The price of
grain has advanced out of the reach
of feeders and cotton seed meal has
gone up almost proportionately with
grain.

Texas at Beaumont this week it was

GIBBS'S POSITION.
The Hon. Barnett Gibbs. of Dallas.
has taken a hand in the fight the new

Congressman Joe Bailey. Bailey is &C
cused of accepting a bride from the
Waters-Pierce Oil company for his
services in persuading the attorney
general to permit the company to do
business in this state after it had been
forced to forfeit its harter, and it is
alleged that the amount received by
Bailey was the $50, with which he
bought the Grapevine ranch near Dali
las. Mr.. Gibbs says he was attorney
for Bailey when he bought the ranch
and he knows there was no such deal
He says that Bailey, was introduced
to Mr.. Pierce by Governor Francis, of
Missouri, and went with him to Aus
tin when the company arranged its af-
fairs with the attorney general and
that prior to this he had bought the
ranch for which he gave his notes
bearing interest.
