STILES SPEAKS

Is Now Living in an Abandoned Cave But Nobody Knows Where That Cave Is. Stiles Writes
 With Much Feeling.

The Citizen publishes letter from Stiles which was received last week by k. P. Drew of Tucson.
 Everybody in the territory is acquainted with the published ac counts of the train robbery with which Stiles name has been connected in the courts, and also with the published ac- counts of the testimony of Alvord and Bravo John. against whom Stiles turn ed states evidence.
 It was understood by Stiles, and in- deed the report was generally circulat- ed through the territory by the press, that the prosecution promised Stiles his freedom from further molestation on this count if Stiles, during the trial, gave whatever evidence against the two other prisoners.
 CAVE AT
 Friend Ed:--I write you this note so that you will please send my watch and chain to my wife immediately, for they have driven me to the woods again, and l leave my wife very short of means. If you can get anything like what they are worth, and send the money to her, it will be great favor to me. She is in need. I wrote to Mir. Breckenridge some time ago for him to get it, but he never answered my letter: so I suppose he got it. If he did, have him give it back to you. Whatever you can get for it will be all right with me.
 Ed, 1 suppose you have heard all about my case. It is a damn shame that people cannot keep their promises. I never dreamt of being arrested again but thank God got away and will try to stay away from them and they had better stay away from me, too. God knows that l intended to keep out of trouble, but when you are driven to it, what is one to do?
 Now, Ed, I want you to let it be known that I was promised by all the attorneys that all the charges against me would be dismissed, which 1 sup posed was done, when to my surprise here comes the big sheriff of Cochise county after me, on one of the charges that was to be dismissed.
 I tell you it is getting so that you can't trust anyone.
 We'll, Ed, will close, hoping to see you some day. I remain as ever,
 Your friend,
 w. STILES.

TOOK STRYCHNINt.
Miss Edna Taylor takes Large Dose
 of StryChnine by Mistake.

The citizens of Mesa were mortified on learning of the sad and tragic death of Miss Edna Taylor, who died of poisoning Sunday night at 7:30 D. m. at the residence of Geo. Dana.
 Miss Taylor had been working for Mrs. J. G. Peterson in Mesa and feel ing quite sick went home Sunday, and began taking medicine. Some of her girl friends came in the afternoon, and desired her to accompany them home for the evening. She got permission to go, but said 'guess had better take another dose of that medicine the Dr. gave me" and in her haste picked up the wrong bottle-taking good big dose of strychinne instead of harmless quinine potion. "My" she said ''that is bitter" but thinking it only genuine went happily away with the young ladies, little knowing the fearful fate awaiting her. Miss Taylor was of a bright and happy temperment, and in this mood accompanied the young lad ies leisurely to the home of one of them about f of a mile distant. On arriving there she began to feel queer and final ly went into spasms. They at once saw she had been poisoned. Help was sum- moned and everything possible was done for the young lady, but without avail, for she lived less than one hour, dying in great agony. Upon investiga- tion it was found she had taken strych- nine instead of the harmless quinine.
 The family are mortified and grief stricken over the sad affair, but of course cannot account for the dreadful mistake of the young lady.-Mesa Free PraSs

A Narrow Escape From Death.

A well known dentist, while attend
ing a patient, let his instrument slip
and it penetrated his finger. Not
thinking it of much consequence, he
dismissed the matter from his mind.
but after few days his finger became
festered, the little hole made by the
instrument turned into a dangerous
sore. He sought medical aid. but it
did no good. The sore grew worse
and worse. blood poisoning set in,
which kept him from his practice
several weeks besides nearly costing
him his life. If he or his physician
had only known what I-o-do would
do, he would have had no trouble at
all. I-o-do is an antiseptie. 1t keeps
sores clean, free from germs and all
other poisons, is a sure proof against
blood poison. 1t heals from the bot
tom, does not heal the top of sores,
leaving them to break out anew. %

Vitality OF Hebre,rr.

If the future population of the earth
IS to be estimated on the basis of race
vitality, then there is no question but
that the Hebrews will yet be in the
majority. Statistics show that the
average longevity of the Hebrew race
IS greater than that of any other. Their
numbers must therefore be increasing
relatively to every race, and they GER
tainly are. Whether it is due to the
sanitary measures enjoined by their re-
ligion or because of native vitality is
for students of sociology to decide, but
the fact still remains. Yet numbers
are not always to control the destiny
of the race, and it is to be supposed
that fraternity and good sense are slow
ly wiping out race distinctions.-Bos-
ton Globe.

AS TO suBMARINE BOATS.

With the revival of interest in sub
marine boats caused by the decision
of the Russian admiralty to construct
several. the Russians are claiming to
have perfected this species of boat as
long ago as 1895.
In that year a submarine boat, said
to be capable of maintaining on the
surface a speed of so knots and be-
meath it of 80, made a successful trip
from Odessa to Sevastopol. The boat
is said by Russians to have been sub
merged 10 days, the time spent in
covering the couple of hundred miles
between those two points.
It's motive power was derived from
naphtha, but apparently the details
of this marvellous boat are not avail
able for the public. She carried
crew of SO men.
