ly of Kenosha, who was killed in rail-
way accident. The body was brought to
Kenosha and buried Henion met death
at station of the Michigan Central Rail-
way about 200 miles east of Chicago. He
was travelling on a handcar and was run
down by freight train. His body was
so terribly mangled that it was impossi-
bit to identify him, and it was only after
he was discovered missing that it was
known that the dead man must be Hem
ion. When the body was being prepared
for burial the undertaken found that one
bit of flesh was unmangled On it words
had been tattooed. After some studying
it was found that the words were the
name of the man, Charles Henion. and
the name of the lodge in which he was
insured. This would settle any question
which might be raised over imperfect
identification.

invitation to all caused many to come for whom there was at the greatest. only hope for slight prolonging of life.
 This discussion served to bring out many ideas that were valuable and also resulted in the passing of a res olution that in any event can have only a beneficial effect The resolution was one in substance advising and admon- ishing the city councils of incorporated towns to have constructed at available points on street corners or elsewhere, cuspidors for the use of the public, and particularly those persons afflicted with pulmonary trouble. That their use be enforced so far as possible. by the imposing of proper penalty for expectorating on the streets, and that these cusipiiors be properly disinfected by and be under the supervision of the. health officers of the towns.
 Another resolution was passed in- structing the president elect of the association to appoint a committee of three on sanitation to use their best ef- forts to put this practice into success ful operation, and to advise with ciiy health officers when requested to do so.
 The election of officers for the en- suing year resulted as follows Pres ident. Dr. H. w. Freer of Tucson: first vice president. Dr. H. H. Stone of Phoenix: second vice-president. pr. O. F. Plath of Phoenix; third vice presi- dent. Dr. Lorenzo Boido of Tucson: secretary. Dr. Charles H. Jones Of Tempe; treasurer, Dr. George NJ. Broadway of Florence. The next meet ing of the association will be held in Tucson in May. 1902.
 The membc rship of the association is growing rapidly. Twenty-eight new names were added to the roll at this session and Dr. George w. Vickers was made an honorary member. The total membership is now eighty-four.
 The session was closed by appro- prate resolutions of thanks to MT. J. C. Adams for courtesies during the session. and to the retiring officers for their efficient services.

THE GRAND JURY DONE
The Trial of United States Cases Will
 Begin Today.

The United States grand jury finished it's work yesterday and was discharged. The last report contained a single in- dictment against a person not in cus- tody, and a bench warrant was issued for him. Other unimportant cases were referred to the next grand jury.
 The cases against A. H. Davidson and Belle Sutherland were dismissed for lack of testimony. The case Inf Alfreda Mercer, indicted at the last term for a violation of the Edmunds act. was continued for the term. The same disposition was made of the case of Manuel Burien, indicted for cutting wood on government land.
 Jose Ramirez and Ascuncion Sando- val indicted for selling liquor to ln- dlans, withdrew their pleas of not guilty and pleaded guilty.
 Robert Elsmere pleaded guilty to the same charge and was sentenced to the county jail for sixty days and to pay a fine of $l00. There were exten- uating circumstances in his case. He is himself an Indian and used to be a very good boy. He did not enter upon his crime in a commercial spirit. but 1t appeared that he was one of q party of Indians who raised a liquor fund among themselves and the busl-

DR. HALSEY IMPROVING
Probably Fell From His Wheel and
 Was Run Over Later.

Dr. Halsey. an account of whose in jury was published yesterday morning in this paper, Is considerably improved and his early recovery will doubtless fore his bruises and his torn ear are fully healed. The shock was not as severe as at first feared and before daylight yesterday he was fully re- stored to consciousness.
 He stated yesterday that he reached home Wednesday evening about 9;3O o'clock. and from there went out to the asylum to the meeting of the phy- sicians. Speaking of the accident he said he had been suffering of late from severe headaches and thought his fall was the result of dizzy spell. and not a coilison. as he thinks that had he been run into he would at least re- member hearing the approach of some- one, though it is not improbable that he was run over by someone after the fall, and his head struck either by the vehicle or the foot of a horse. He also stated that he was fortunate in hav- ing skilled physicians in immediate at tendance.
 Messrs B. Heyman and A. Goldberg, who were driving along the Tempe road said yesterday that they met a party of men in carriage about that time of the night and at no great dis tance from where Dr. Halsey was found. From the noise they were mak- ing they thought the msn were intoxi- cated and it is quite likely that their rig passed over him. Though it was at best. an unfortunate affair. it might have been great deal worse.

A. SCOTT COMES IN
He Says He Was Not Lost for a
 Minute.

A. Scott. who was supposed to be lost and to have pershed on the desert. turned up in Phoenix yesterday after" noon. He arrived at Beardsley sta ton on the desert week ago last Wednesday night, on his way from capped and the next morning he set out in search of them. When he had not returned to Beardsley on Saturday night he was given up as a victim of the desert. and his probable horrible death was made the subject of tele- graphic dispatches to the newspapers.
 His wife who lives at Reno, read them and telegraphed here for further information. In the meantime it was learned that Scott had escaped from the desert and had gotten into the cul- tivated districts. He had come to Phoenix. but. did not know that he had become person of national impor- tance. so he took lodging at corral and neglected to inform the authori- ties of his arrival.
 He read about his wifes inquiry in The Republican yesterday, and then hastened to report at the sheriff's office. Justice Burnett sent telegram to Mrs. Scott, informing her of her husbands safety.
 Mir Scott said he was not lost at any time. That is, he knew where he was all the time. President Mckinley, J. Pierpont Morgan and perhaps few other people were ignorant of his whereabouts, for from the time he left Beardsley he was much of the time In region where telegraph and other means of communication are meager. He hopes that his announcement of his safety will be sufficient to allay popular alarm.

PIPES OF PEACE.
wnoss NA8e of Rlood.Re stone Mas,
 4fsteemed by Indians.t


 Nearly every Indian tribe has some Interesting legend connected with the blo0d-re4 stone of the Pipestone quar- ries of Minnesota One tale Is that long ago two fierce bands of Winnebagoes and Sioux, the brayest of their respec- tive tribes. met in conflict here. They fought all day from early morn untif set of sun, until the chieftain of one band was slain Some of the warriors escaped and some were made captiyes Among the captives was the chieftain's daughter. Being very brave and fair. she was chosen by one chief as his share of the spoils. Refusing, how ever, to become his bride, she was doomed to the stake. In dying she predicted that the Great Spirit would throw her blood upon the suns rays to her people far away, and that the stone under her feet would be forever tinted with her blood. Catlin, the famed eX- plorer of Indian country. was the first white man to visit this locality. At tracted by the Indian tales he had heard in the summer of 1886, in con- pany with a young English gentleman and hfs trusty Indian guide, he started on horseback from St. AnthoGy's Fails to explore the region. It appears that the Indian tribes have long held tie place in superstitious estimation, and also that 1t has been .he resort of d9s, ferent tribes, who have made their regular pilgrimage there to renew their pipes. It is also evident that these people set an extraordinary value on the red stone, independent of the fact that 1t is more easily carved and makes better pipes than any other stone. Whenever an Indian presents pipe Of 1t, he gives it as something from the Great Spirit, and some of the tribes have aetradi ion that the red men were all created from the rcd stone and that 1t is thereby Q part of their flesh. Such was the superstition of the Sioux on this subject that we had great diff heulty in approaching |. being stopped by several hundred of them. who or dered us back and threatened us very hard, saying that no white man had ever seeD 1t and that none should
