THE CALIFORNIA COLUMN
The Second Officer in Command Now
 in Phoenix.

There is a gentleman in Phoenix just now who materially assisted in the making of the history of California and Hill, of Boston. Mass, the second in command of the famous California column, which marched through this territory just forty years ago and saved the country from the confeder- acy just as by a hair 'sbreadth Cali fornia itself had been saved. Cap tain is no imaginary title with Cap tain Hill. He wears with pride the double bars of that rank, pendant from which is the peculiar badge of an of ficer of the column, a gold Maltese cross, enameled, bearing the words: "Qui Meruit Palmam Ferat.''
 Colonel Carleton, the commander of the column, who afterward sue ly massacred by the Modocs. was a boyhood friend of Captain Hiiis father and was West Pointer, who was stationed in California when the war of the rebellion broke out. Colonel Carleton succeeded Colonel Canby after the defeat of the latter at VaIle Verde on the Rio Grande by Colonel Sibley. his brother-in-law. who, as major in command at Fort union Tn northern New MeXlCO, JOlneu the confederacy on the breaking out of the war. Colonel Sibley. by the way. was the inventor of the Sibley tent. on which he received a royalty from the government, which Captain Hill says would have amounted to $2.500, 900 in the course of the war He forfeited all that for his love of the south. If we could have had our. way on the Rio Grande." said Captain Hill. he would have forfeited his life.
 After the California column left Los Angeles, 1t was practically in command of Captain Hill. Its destination was unknown. It was expected to sweep the country of Apaches, white desper adoe5 and especially of Texans. who were then supposed to be in the country as spies and for the purpose of stir ring up the Indians against the gov ernment. It was a heartbreaking cam paign. across the California desert, up the Colorado and along the line of the present line Of the Santa F'e Pacific railway. Then down through this val

| ley and thence to Tucson. There were not many white men in the country : forty years ago. Those who were here either joined the column, were taken prisoners or were otherwise disposed of. The column swept around through New Mexico, where Captain Hill first formed the acquaintance of Colonel Francisco Chavez with the New Mex ico volunteers. He never saw him again until last Saturday, when he addressed the statehood convention in this city. and subsequently, the ac- quaintanceship broken by forty years was renewed.
 About that time the attempt began to be made to establish Maximilian in Mexico. Copies of the earliest cores pondence are still in the possession of Captain Hill. He met Juarez and in a secret capacity served him. and once visited the City of Mexico in disguise while the imperial forces were in pos session of it. The captain obtained copies of correspondence showing an understanding between France and En1la-d at that time. The original corrcTr rondence which he saw and from which he made the copies greatly fa- cilitsted the settlement by England of the -Aiabama claims. Subsequent to the adjustment of those cleans he vis- ite1 Europe.
 There is not much in Arizona. Cap tain Hill says. to remind him of his earlier view of the country. He re- membered the Canon Diablo, the Point of Rocks and. of course. the more prominent mountain ranges and peaks.
 He has q dim and uncertain recollec- ton of the contour of the mountains east of Phoenix.
 Captain Hill will remain in the city all winter. and if opportunities for the profitable investment of capital are presented, he will remain. He has some money Of his own and he is au- thorized to act for friends in Boston and the east, who, he says. can cas- fly command dollar and half apiece. The captain is tall. broad and well pre- served, in spite of the hardships. un- dergone before many men who now feel the weight of years were born.

MckEE'S CASH STORE
DEATH OF A COYOTE
A Record of It in the Books of a
 Phoenix Commercial Firm

Thomas D. Molloy, a delegate from Yuma county to the statehood conven- ton, is still in the city visiting his old friends and will probably return to- morrow night Mir Moiioy has been employed at the penitentiary for more than two years as a guard For some time past he has been in charge of the forces working outside" By outside is meant the work of removing the em- bankment near the walls to make room for the erection of the Improvements provided for by the late legislature. The earth is being torn away by dy- namite, a circumstance which recalls to MT. Molloy an incident remembered by many old-timers, especially Gold man & Co.,, but which until now has perhaps never appeared in print. It was the destruction of a coyote by means of 2.40O pounds of dynamite.
 The explosion was intended to be used in the development of the Vulture mine in the year of 1s7S when it was at it's earliest glory. The dynamite was sent out by Goldman & Co. in the GUS tody of a Mexican freighter. It was a pretty heavy load for an ill-fed team. but the horses managed to struggle along with it slowly until they heached the vicinity of Nigger Wells. where the face of the earth had been soft ened by recent rains. There the freight wagon came to standstill and would probably have been there to this day, but for the fortunate arrival on the scene of "Frenchy' DeBaud (Ciod rest his bones in Cuba where they lie). The Mexican had taken off the load by degrees until very little of 1t was left on the wagon, and even that little the discouraged horses fin ally refused to pull. "Frenchy" drag
 ged the tired horses and their load out and assisted the Mexican in gathering up the rest of the dynamite. It was finally collected together in one place, and "Frenchy' and the Mexicap went into camp near by. The next morning they were getting their horses together. the Mexican intending to go on to the Vulture. and "Frenchy" to resume his journey to Phoenix. When they were a short distance from the camp they noticed a coyote prowling about it looking for scraps of their late break fast. "Frenchy'' had a Spencer car binc with him. for in those days men never left their arms behind them. "Frenchy'' could not resist the tempta- tion to take shot at the brute. The cataclysm which followed will always leave the accuracy of his aim in doubt. but that the coyote died as

result of it, was afterward proved by the finding of a piece of his skin about six inches long and nearly half as wide. It has always been suspected that the bullet hit one of the dynamite boxes. A great hole in the ground to this day marks the place where the coyote fell, or more properly speaking, where he rose.
 The board of supervisors of Maricopa county at that time was composed of three exceptionally mean men: they refused to allow the customary bounty on the coyote, on the fiimsy pretext that they were unable to determine whether the fragment of skin presented to them for Identification was the coy ote's scalp or the late covering of his trump. In the latter case they said that there was no warrant in law for the recognition of the claim. It is believed that the. only existing record of the death of the coyote is item in the profit and loss account in the books of Goldman & Co. and perhaps. also, in the books of the recording angel, who took down the remarks of "Frenchy" when the noise of the ex- plosion died away.

GRAHAM DEFEATS BALLOU FOR CHAM.
PIONSHIP OF APAWAMIS CLUB.

Malcolm Graham. jr. won the championship Of
the Apawams Golf Club yesterday by defeating
Maturin Ballou In thirty-six hole match by
score OF 176 to 1SZ II the second attempt at
the playo OF the tie which occurred last fan for
the same title On the first trial the two broke
even. with a score OF 1872 Since then Graham has
devoted much of his time to yachting. and 1t was
generally supposed that Ballou would win. The
fact that Graham covered the double round IN
176. however. shows that he has lost none or his
previous form. In the recent metropolitan cham
pionship the same course Hamilton, who won
the best prize did only 1T4 and Douglas. the
champion. finished at 1SS. That Graham, who can
cover the same distance in 176. should have been
disqualified from that championship is regarded
as serious reflection the work OF the official
handicappers. The denunciation OF their action
by those who yesterdays performance Will
probably result in revision of his handicap before
the next list is made AT present Graham Is rated
| at twelve strokes. and only those who have
handicap OF ten or under eligible to play for
the Metropolitan Cup. Graham declared out.
