A RED APPARITION
Which Attracted Attention In Phoe-
 nix Yesterday.

There was a red apparition on the streets of Phoenix yesterday. A one horse wagf came rapidly up Jefferson street aSout noon and turned into Wall street. The face of the driver was covered with blood; his hands were covered with blood and blood dr;pped from the tips of his fingers. Now and then he threw his hands about and threw off a red spray which fell upon the horse and sprinlkled a sack of flour, paper bags filled with potatoes and other provisions. The red man drove up Washington street and turned d0w1 Center to Justice Gray's office, where the man in red got cut. He left crimson trail across the sidewalk, gave a scarlet hue to the dOor-knOb and shed blood upon the white shirt of Jus tice Gray while he was asking for WashbaSin and a towel. These articles were furnished him and he began pros pecting in his red surface. After a while the familiar features of l. R. Barnes. tie brick contractor, began to be disclosed, though rendered some what unfamiliar by a multitude of COntusions and bruises and deep GU :. Mir. Barnes was not as greatly eXcit.
 
 ably have been expected to be. He said he was a victim of JohIf Willis, machinist, who had attacked him while he was sitting peacefully and unsus- pectingly ill a chair at Williscraft's $ foundry.
 A warrant was issued for Willis, who was brought in and pleaded guilty to an assault. He could not well do oth- erwise in the face of the documentary evidence on file on the face of MT. Barnes. He was fined $10.
 The assault was the outbreak of an accumulation of feeling dnriIg a. period of two wears. Willis was the owner of a span of mules of which he was justly proud. He leased them to MT. Barnes who, Willis claims, brought them into juXtaposition with some glandered horses and mules, with the result that his mules had to be killed. The par ties 10 the controversy have been chew ing the rag about it ever since and were able to reach no satisfactory set clement until about 1:15 o'clock yes- t5rday afternoon.
