THE WICKENBURG JAIL
A Better One Than Phoenix Had
 Twenty Years Ago.

Wickenburg is not a very large city but it has what from many points of view may be considered the best jail built expressly for the comfort and amusement of those who inhabit them and those who build jails do not de sign them with respect to special in- ducementS for the public. They are made rather to be avoided, to inspire the lawbreaker with awe previous to the commission of crime and a convenience for officers after the ar rest of law breakers. For these pur
 poses the Wickenburg jail is bloom ing success. Nobody tries to get into it and nobody does get into it a second time. It frequently occurs that when an officer arrests a bad man he gets away while the officer is getting his key out or gives him a fight at the

WENT THROUGH THE PLUME.
Two Workmen Have a Narrow Escape
 From Death at Fall River.

Fan River, Mass. Oct. 6.-Charles Sevigny and John Trembly had a most remarkable escape from instant death yesterday Both are now at the hos p.tal. Trembly with his back broken and little chance of recovery. They were employed in repairing the mason- " of a Hume at the Pocasset mills. The water in this Hume comes from the Watuppa lakes, passing under the city hall and many mills and furnishing power for some of the largest of the factories. It is the stream from which the city derives it's name.
 TEe masons were upon a coffer dam and it save way, dropping them ten feet into the water. They were caught in the rushing waters and carried un- 6er the mill and over a dam construct ed there to give the water force enough to turn the wheel of a mill further down stream. They went over the dam and upon jagged rocks fourteer feet below. Thence they were swept into reservoir, in which they would lave drowned quickly had they not teen pulled out at once.
 Trembly's spine was fractured in the lumbar region and he was terribly cut. Sevigny had five ribs broken and suf- fered scalp wounds and internal injur- ies. He may recover.

door. This never happens in Wicken- burg for the jail there consists of a mesquite tree, pair of shackles and a trace chain. Constable Hale presides over the jail and there hasn't been a delivery since he went up there.
 It may be argued by humanitarians that in the summer time the jail might be too hot and that in a storm it might be uncomfortably moist but the reply is that criminal in that country knows what he is up against and all ways behaves himself in bad weather. If he doesn't, then it's his own look out. This sort of a jail has numerous good features which will be suggested to the reader who thinks for a moment. It needs no sanitation or janitor work. It is easier to move the jail when con- oitions become precarious to health. It is easy of approach with had men and nobody ever pulled a mesquite tree up by the roots. As for cutting it off, everybody in town would be able to see the work done and give the alarm.
 But Wickenburg is not entitled to all the credit fer this jail as it is nodded after the early day jail in Phoenix, only the model has been improved up on- In the early days the Phoenix jail consisted of a stoci5ade with a big log in it, and in the log were a number of rings to which as many chains could be fastened there were prisoners.
 One memorable jail delivery occurred in those days. Babe was incarcerated one evening for drunkenness. along with another big powerful fellow, as he has been several times since. They laid low untE about 4 o'clock in the morning when a burning thirst over came them. They cursed and swore for time but nobody appeared so they got up together and using the log as a battering ram hammered down the door to the stockade- When the jailer arrived about daylight he took up their trail and found them trying to pawn the log for drink in a nearby resort The trouble with that jail was that it had no roots on it. The Wickenburg Jail has.

AND DONE QUICKLY
The Government Can Afford no Aid That will be Early Enough-Sub- scriptions Opened Yesterday for
 Popular Fund-A Business Office
 Kept Open on Sunday to Receive Contributions-A General Appeal.

Boston, Oct. 6.-The urgency of the case of Miss Stone, the missionary heli for ransom by Bulgarian brigands brought together the members of tn. prudential committee of the American board today. Later the committee is- sued a statement based on the views of President Capen and Rev. Judson Smith. secretary of the board. as result of their visit to Washington yes terday. Both gentlemen interviewed President Roosevelt and the state de- partment officials. It was made plaIn to them. they told the committee, that the only certain way to secure he re- lease was to pay the ransom and save her life. The government, by reason O. restrictions. cannot pay the ransom. The committee was also informed that the board had, not the money to pay the ransom. The only practical way, therefore, is a popular subscription. The committee began sending notes to all parts of the country. and hopes the response will be such as to speedily raise the amount.
 The firm of Kidder Peabody & Go. kept it's office open today to receive contributions to the fund for the re- lease of Miss Stone. The total for the day was S4325. The members of Miss Stones church here, the First Congra- gational, gave $500.

GUARDING FRONTIER.
Venezuelan Troops to Hold
 Back Colombian Forces
Effort in Both Republics to Give Possibilities the Appearance of Revolutionary Prodeedings. Each Using Rebel Leaders.

Willemstad, Island of Curacoa. Oct.
 C.-Advices received here by mail from
 Maracaibo under date of Oct. 3. say
 Venezuela is protecting the Guajira
 frontier by achievements. An expe-
 dition composed of about fifteen hun- dred recruits from La Vela de Coro on the gulf of Coro. and Merida, with V:- oente Sanchez in command, left here today in schooners for some point at GuaJira, whence they will probably move inland toward the frontier
 Numberless rumors are being indus triously circulated. but careful weighing of all information from var ious sources leads to the belief that the forces of Davila, after their disastrous defeat Sept II. wandered to the noun tains, pursued by Indians and Colom- bians. Eventually Davila with five companions succeeded in reaching Fort san Carlos, thirty miles north of Mara calbo. a Venezuelan base and political prison, whence he asked that reinforce ments be sent to rescue his command reported to be in distress and danger from the Indians inhabiting Guajira
 The Indians under the leadership If their cacique. Juan Dolores. are fight ing on the side of the Colombian gov ernment. Clodomir and Juan Castillo. the Colombian liberal leaders. appear to be at Treinta, on the Colombia side Of Guajira, with followers estimated to number from 500 to 1000 men. It is reported. although without valid req son for belief. that the forces under Castillo and Davila's nlen, if rescued from their predicament, together with the Sanchez expedition, will attempt to cooperate in a movement upon Id Hacha. where Colombia appears to have about 2,000 men under the leader ship of Ayama. It Is more conserva- lively thought that Venezuela will not assume the aggressive.
 Both the Venezuelan and Colombian governments show a tendency to place at the head of their forces the revolu- tionary leaders of the other country, in order to give a color of political rev. oution to the contacts between their respective troops. For example. Vene- zuelan troops under the leadership of a Colombian liberal are operating against the Colombian forces, and the will be qualified as an in ternal and not as an international dis turbance. This greatly confuses the situation.
 The Venezuela disaster on Sept fl is fully confirmed. Few prisoners were taken The retreating Venezuelans were caught on both sides of a river, with the bridge broken, and the Colom- hians overwhelmed them from three sides. scattering the Venezuelans, who were ambushed by the Indians.
 Letters received here from Tachira are to the effect that Gen. Uribe-Uribe is collecting and manipulating his for ces in a small way. But no action of importance is being taken by him.
 credible report received here is tG the effect that 1.c00 Colombian conser- va;ive troops are at a hamlet called about three days march from Marac1ibo. The Colombians may attempt to prevent the union O. action between the Sanchez Charlottesville forces.

American Squadron Gets a Hearty Re
 ception at Genoa

Rome, Oct 6.-The American squad ron, consisting of the flagship Chicago and the cruisers Nashville and Albany. was heartily received by the Italians in the waters near Genoa in the early part of the week. The Italians showed the keenest enthusiasm and the officers and men of the American ships were overwhelmed with hospitality.
 All this was most pleasing in view of the fact that six months ago the two governments agreed that it would not be advisable. in view of the ex- cited public feeling, due to certain lynchings in the United States, for American blue jackets to go ashore at any Italian port.
