VAUGHN, THE INSANE.
His Partner Hears of His Arrest and
 Visits Him.

Nothing has been done yet with w. N. Vaughn. the man arrested al Beardsley a few days ago on charge of insanity. Probate Judge Morford will not return for more than a week. A movement was started to bring Vaughn before the district court for trial, but that would be a more eXpen- sive proceeding than a probate court hearing, so that it will probably be cheaper for the county to hold the pris- oner in jail until the return of Judge Morford.
 Vaughn's condition has changed neither for the better nor the worse. His partner Ed. Winders, whom he said he had murdered and beheaded. called yesterday to see him. Winders said they had not travelled together long but he had never noticed anything wrong with Vaughn. They>left Jerome more than two weeks ago and travelled as far as Wickenburg together. Their wagon seemed to be overloaded so that Widener decided to come to Phoenix by rail and after visiting friends in Iempe, 10 come pack nere ana meet Vaughn. He learned of his arrest for insanity from the newspapers.
 Deputy Sheriff Charlie Slankard, who assisted the arrest of Vaughn. Is not sure that he is insane: his answers are too ready, apropOs and direct. When Deputy Sheriffs Slankard and Murray went to Beardsley after him they got to their destination about 2oclock i1 the morning. They were shown one room house in which the lunatic was lodged. The door was closed. but not locked. MT. Slankard made up his bed on the ground in front of the door and went to sleep. He was awakened a little after daylight by Vaughn. who was stepping over him ''Hello." said the officer. where are you going?" After drink was the reply. Where did you come from?'' Prom the north" Which way are you going?" Straight ahead" (Which way?" south. of course That's SO" said the officer, ''I might have thought of that; man traYeling from the north in a straight line would be apt to be going south"

PLEA FOR THE HALDEMANS
A Woman in Tombstone at the Time
 of Trial.

The following eleventh hour letter bearing upon the Haldeman case and pleading for a commutation of the brothers sentence was received at the office of the governor yesterday. The writer, now in Los Angeles, resided in Tombstone at the time of the trial and was employed as deputy county record CT. Her story is corroborative of the affidavits offered in the late hearing be- Tore Acting Governor Akers:
 ''To His Excellency. the Governor of Arizona: In behalf of the Halderlan brothers, now in the Cochise county Jail awaiting the death penalty, this petition for communication of sentence IS made by disinterested person. While l think the act of these boys should receive punishment, even though unpTeme ditated, still I feel that It should not be the extreme penalty of the law.
 "The jury which brought in the yer dict was one in which I believe every man to have had his mind made up when he took the oath. I will tell you why believe so. I was at the time of the trial of the Haldeman brothers z deputy in the office of the county rv- corder of Cochise county, and had rooms at the Cochise House, kept by Mrs. Adamson. Many of those who were summoned to serve on the differ ent juries during that term of courS also had lodgings in the same place. and I heard enough from conversations which passed between them to warrant my saying that that jury was com posed of men who had fully made up their minds to hang the Haldemans. They were all hoping to get on that special jury just so we can have a hahging. as they put 1t. And after the verdict was handed in, sentence Passed and the jury dismissed several yof them came over to the Cochise House and boasted in my presence of carrying their point.
 "That same evening I was iu Mrs Adamson's kitchen preparing my dim her dnd-the Wilson girls came in and asked me if their testimony had any thing to do with hanging the boys,

meaning the Ealdenan brothers. I told them that they Were convicted principally OF the testimony which
 they gave. Then Rera Wilson sad
 "I wish we had told the truth. I hate to be the cause of it." Of course I was surprised at this, and said to her. Did you not tell the truth when you were on the witness stand? Why didn't you?' She replied that she was afraid
 to. I then called Mrs. Adamson in and Miss Wilson repeated to her that she was afraid to tell everything be- cause the father of the girls (John Wilson believe his name is) told them
 that they must swear that one Of the HalGeman boys fired the first shot that if they said at the trial anything in favor of the boys they would have to leave the country, as they would have nc friends ;and that they must do as he said or he would drive them both from home; that all the way on their trip of 50 miles from where they lived to Tombstone the father quarreled with and threatened them, and told them what to say. They also said that their father got money from some one for swearing as he did. They then wanted to know if it was too late to tell the q uth. Mrs. Adamson told them that if their fath5r turned them out of the foUse they could come and live with heI; that she would be their friend. So beng thus assured of protection, ulcy made the affidavits which were pre- serted after the trial.
 ''The girls also said that Moore had told them that he would kill HaI1eman, and that he (Moore) never pass 4d their house, where the Hald5man boys were stopping, without his pistol in his hand, and that the first shot which was fired when Moore ana the sheriff came up to their house, came from the outside and not from the room where the hoys We're. The empty cartridges in Moore's pistol prove that he did a little of of the shooting. The Haldeman boys did not go to Moore's to shoot him in cold blood. Moore came to where the boys were, and after having made the threats, wouldn't the most of us be pre- pared to protect ourselves under such circumstances?

THE CITY COUNCIL
A Tame but Regular Monthly Meet
 ing Last Night.

The regular monthly meeting of the city council was held yesterday after noon and last night. The afternoon session was given to the auditing of current claims, thus clearing the decks for excited aldermanic action at night Nothing, however, of a wildly exciting nature presented itself. The first thing out of the ordinary was a resolution increasing the salaries of the five mem Ders of the fire department from $60 to S'5. The resolution was opposed only by Acting Mayor Dyer, who said his objection was only as to the time of making this increase; he would favor u later, but not now, since $1O,0O0 had already been expended on the fire de- partment within the present year. The resolution was adopted, whereupon the acting mayor said that he would sug- SeSt a worthy increase of a salary.
 Bill, the factOtum of the city hall, the hardest working man in municipal employment had for some time been in receipt of the meager salary of 8 a month. The acting mayor moved that it be raised to $15 month. There was
  of "Bilrs" duties. Mr. Dyer said they included everything; he was charwoman for the city hall and wet nurse for the jail; he did everything Councilman McNeil said he would favor raise 70 $1O month. The acting mayor said let it drop" Mr McNeil made his motion, though, for the relief of Bill and it carried.
 An ordinance was introduced for the granting of a franchise to Jasper Dobbs to erect poles and string wires for "call system in connection with his messenger and delivery system. Coun- cilman Fickas inquired in some alarm if such system could be converted in to new telephone plant. Attorney Johnson, who represented the applio ant. the operation of the "calr' service The ordinance was referred to the proper committee, with the understand ing that 1t should first be passed upon by City Attorney Bullard to the end that loop-holes fraught with danger to the municipality might be stopped up.
 The only other matter of interest that presented itself was a claim by William Doheney and T. w. Pemberton, Jr., for services as special registrars preceding the late waterworks bond election There were four such special registrars. one appointed by each councilman. Two of them, Al Arthur and A. Galpin, were appointed by Councilmen Sanders and Dyer, both in favor of the bonds. The other two, Messrs. Pemberton and DOheneV Were aDDOinted hv COunciI- men Morford and Fickas, opposed to the bonds. The two former registrars were privately paid by the cOuncilmen who appointed them. The other two have been paid by nobody. Councilman Sanders said that with his consent and the help of God they would never De paid. Let the people who wanted them pay them. MT. Pemberton observed that he had thought he was a regularly employed public servant, but it ap- peared that he had been working on the wrong side. The whole matter was al

lowed to go over until the next meeting.
 Quarterly reports were received from the various city officers and referred to the finance committee. The most inter- esting report was that of City Assessor and Collector Luke, showing that he had received during the months of May June and July, the following sums: Rents, $350; licenses, $5,9O41S; fines, $416.5O; water rentals, $1S3; dog tax licenses, $444; and miscellaneous, $26.S5 This is the high water mark for licenses by about $1,000.

DaltOn'S Democracy.

nouncement oil Richard Dalton
of Saverton, Mo-, that he in
tends to vote the Republican
state ticket and campaign for
it.
Mr.. Dalton once held a rather
prominent place in the Demo
cratic party. He was a member
of the state House Of Represen-
tatives from Rails County two
terms, and became a candidate
for the party nomination for
governor in 1892. After a bitter
campaign he was defeated by
William j. Stone.
After the election of Cleve.
land that year Mr.. Dalton was
appointed surveyor of the Port
of st. Louis, and held the place
until his successor was appoint
ed in 1897. Since then he has
been living on his farm and
apple orchard at Saverton. He
has for many years been a be-
lever in the single tax and
made a number of arguments
before the state board of equal
ization in support of his -pecu-
liar ideas of taxation.
In 1896 Mr.. Dalton took no
part in the campaign, and since
his appointment to the federal
Office he held, he has not
been regarded as an active
force in the Missouri Democrat.

that he was not in sympathy

Stone, who defeated him for the
gubernatorial nomination, if the
Democratic campaign managers
had not rendered him financial
assistance. In this connection
this story was told al the La
clede Hotel Thursday night by
a prominent Democrat who had
a leading part in the campaign
of 1892:
Dalton was bitterly disap.
pointed over his defeat by Stone
and threatened to snlk through
the campaign. When he was
asked by the Democratic mana.
gers to enter the canvass for
Stone lie told them that he had
neglected his business affairs
during his race for the guberna-
torial nomination and that a
mortgage had accumulated
against his farm. The amount
of it was about $4,000. He said
he felt that he should go back
to his business and endeavor to
recoup his wasted fortunes rath.
er than spend his time making
political speeches.
The managers got together
and raised the amount of the
mortgage and presented it to
Mr., Dalton, saying they pre-.
terred to pay the amount rather
than lose his services during
the campaign.
Mr.. Dalton accepted the
money, paid the mortgage and
gave his services to the state
committee, speaking in all parts
OF the state for the ticket.
