BAD NEGRO CAUGHT.
Council Bluffs s.Jack the Hugaer''
Taken in Charge by officers.

Council Bluffs, Iowa. June 5.-Au-
gustus Smith, a negro with face as
black as midnight and as ugly as an
Hold-fashioned wood cut, is IN the
clutches of the police. owing to little
way he has Of accosting women on the
street. One of the women to whom ne
made an insulting remark on the street
complained at police headquarters and
he was arrested.
Smith is employed on a Northwestern
railway dining car. On making an in
.vestigation the police found that all
the cases of attempted assault by coll
ored men upon white women that have
happened here lately have taken place
at times when Smith was here between
his regular trips. From this fact they
consider it n possibility that Smith is
the man who has been terrorizng all
the feminine inhabitants of the city for
the last month.
During the evening Miss Grace Ham
)silton. who had an encounter with a
colored wretch at her home on s outh
Seventh street, called at the
station and identified Smith as
her assailant. Mrs. John Leas-
ure. who lives 1t Ills Avenue D,

nights ago and found a negro standing
by her bedside. is also very certain
that Smith was the man. Mrs. Leas-
ure's assailant leveled a revolver al
her and fired. but the bullet failed tc
strike. After a desperate struggle she
succeeded in driving him out of the
house.
Miss Foote, who was attacked while
walking in the western part of tbs

THE COCONINO SUN.

The House and Senate at Washing ton have passed the bill opening the Navajo reservations in New Mexico and Arizona to mineral entry. The lands thus opened are very rich in minerals, especially copper. Both houses agreed to conference for the adjustment of settlers claims on the reservation and to permit mining north of the thirty-sixth degree of latitude and west of the ll1th degree of lOngti- tude. An effort was made to have the bill engrossed and presented to Presi- dent Mckinley for signature before his departure to Canton, but without sue cess. and the formal opening of the reservation will therefore be delayed several weeks. A big rush of miners will probably follow the signing of the bill.
