 Wce-President Roosevelt reached the Milburn residence shortly after 1 o'clock today after travelling continuously since o'clock last night. when he left Bur- lington. Vt. He was escorted from the station as far as the Hotel irocuois by squad of mounted police and the re- mainder of the way by a squad Of bi- cycle police He exPccssAd lis deep dis tress at the tragedy. but beyond that declined to make any statement.

Secretary Vii son and Secretary Root spent most ot the day at the Milburn residence. Ali the members of the Cabinet will remain here until the result of the wound Is de- termined. It is probable that after alt arive a Cabinet meeting will be held. Informally they have discussed today the possibility of Vice-President Roosevelt being called upon to act as magistrate during the disability of the President. but all precedents are against such a course while the President lives Arthur did not assume the reins of Government until after President Garfield's death, and the contingency of Vice-President Roosevelt being called upon to serve temporarily. except in the case of un- looked-for and very serious foreign com plications. Is regarded as very remote.
 General Brooke, commander of the De- partment of the East who came here this morning from New York, assumed personal charge of the military, and un- der his direction picket lines were placed in every direction. The police force kept the people of the sidewalks which in tersect Delaware Avenue near the Mill burn residence and teams and pedestrians were kept off the streets.

Buffalo.

EYEWITNESS DIFFER
 IN MANY DETAILS

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. Ion many ma- terial points and particularly the utter ances of the President after he was shot, the witnesses of yesterdays tragedy fail to agree. The action of the tragedy was very fast and 1t was followed by a scene of confusion in which 1t was difficult to either see or hear with accuracy, hows his assailant. It Is now conceded that the President did not say: May God for give him" after he was shot, and agreed ence to his wife. T trust Mrs Mckinley will not be informed of this; at least hope 1t will not be exaggerated"
 A newspaper reporter who stood just behind the President when the shooting occurred, gave one of the clearest ac- counts related so far. He said:
 'I stood about ten feet from the Presi- dent and saw Czolgosz approach him. The to his breast and white handkerchief wrapped about 1t bore the appearance of a bandage. He extended his left hand and am quite sure the President thought he was injured, for he leaned forward and looked at him in sympathetic way. When directly in front of the President Czolgosz threw his right hand forward and fired saw the nash and smoke followed by the report and then heard the second shot. Instantly John Parker. the colored man. and Secret Agent Foster the floor Czolgosz, lying prostrate, still retained a hold on his revolver and seemed to he trying to get his arm free to fire again. The President did not fall. He raised his right hand and felt of his breast and seemed to be maintaining his upright position only by wonderful ef- fort.

[ooE A?Ier Ycur Titles.

Some time ago a large number ci
 city lots were deeded to the State ot Arizona Improvement company and placed in escrow, subject to certain conditions. The company having failed to comply with these conditions, the lots reverted back to the city.
 n the sale Of some Of these lots to various parties considerable Of 8 mudGIe as to titles has been caused in one way and another, and until recent Y this mUGdle has grown and develop cd to such proportions as recess;tated it's being cleared up. Several parties who bought lots from the city failed to have taeir deeds recorded, and in some instances the same let has teen sold to two different persons, and it got to 8 point where neither the city nor the individual purchaser knew ''whcre be was at." This matter will now be strengthened cut and kept straight. Mayor SLan5scy has received from ". '. Marvin Q complete abstract of title to all real property owned by the city. The assessor is now listing all city lots not shown as belcnging to tne city, and where the names of the owners can not be ascerta:ned, such property is assessed to "Unlznown;" so that it be- hcoves all persons having deeds to any of these lots to put them on record and save double taxation.

This Ssems IIS;lclous.

The following special dispatch, with the heading, ''Snallpox Epidemic Abating, " appeared in the Los Angeles Times of last Sunday:
 PH0ENIE, ARIz., March 9.-The se- were epidemic Of smallpox among the Indians below Yuma is ab2ting. The CocCpah tribes have been moved fur theT down the river and isolated from the Yuma Indians. Several sc50ols are still closed and a strict quarantine js maintained. The disease is spread ing among Indians on the Mexican side and many deaths are reported. Cniy 8 few eases are known to exist Cn this side of the boundary line"
 Considering the fact that the Times Phoenix correspondent is @ subscriber to both of the Yuma papers. it looks very much as though the above had been sent out with malicious Intent.
 In the first place there has been TO "sevcra epidemic of smallpox" even among the Cocopahs: it is g. matter Of doubt that it was really the smallpox at all
 The SENTINEL last week and the week before told the actual facts of the situation. though there was not much to tell-and the Times correspondent simply clothes Q great big" lie in a thin veneering Of truth in the above item. which is plainly intended to be as damaging as possible to Yuma.
 Drs, Cctter, Mobler and ApJohn, who investigated the camp Of Cocopah Indians ?! miles below town in February found few cases that appeared to be smallpox, although in such @ mild form that the Indians affected were Up and around as though nothing unusual was the matter. These Indians were all ordered to get on to their reservation, which is in Old Mexico, over a hundred miles away, and they at once broke camp and obeyed the order.
 There has net been 6 case among the Yuma's, and there is no quarantine BOW against them.
 There has not been 6 case in Yuma.
 There has not been a school closed in Yunla-or anywhere else that We can learn of. And from diligent inquiry we cannot learn Of 6 case Of smallpox at any point in the county, nor within hundred miles on the California side.
 If this correspondent wants to get up a smallpox scare he can find the mate rial, the real thing, in Mesa, which is only few miles from Phoenix and in the same county. Mesa is "close to home, " and the facts. could easily be obtained.
