COLLISION OF BuGG1Es
Which Resulted in the Killing of a
 Big Tarantula.

An incident which was quite serious for the time being. but which was also possessed of amusing features, occurred on Washington street, near Center. yes- terday afternoon.
 Mir. Borden, who lives north of the city, was driving west on Washington street in a single buggy when one Of the front wheels became locked with the front wheel of the buggy driven by the lady in the opposite direction. M-. Borden's vehicle. being gallant one, allowed it's wheel to drop off. thereby freeing the lady's carriage. Mir. >Bor- den's horse, which is a spirited animal took fright and started to run. but was caught by bystanders before getting fairly started. but not, however. until the other front wheel had dropped to the ground, letting, the axle of the ye- hicle fall.
 As soon as the horse was stopped and MT. Borden regained his feet the people in the vicinity began to take an inven- tory of the wreck, and the first thing they saw was a big fat tarantula stand : ing on the seat and looking for a good place to jump in case the runaway be- came an actuality. It would have been better for the tarantula to have kept himself concealed and taken chances on the runaway, for a cruel man brushed him off on the ground and stepped on him. The lady took advantage of the aversion caused by the tarantula and was soon out of sight.

LITTLE MORE EVIDENCE
A nd Then the Arguments Before the Schley Court of Inquiry Will be Begun-Monday Will Probably See the Decks Cleared for Ora torical Action-Then Weeks of beration.

Washington. Nov. 1.-At a quarter to one o'clock today Judge Advocate Lem ly announced that he had no more wit nesses to call. MT. Rayner said he had no more to be summoned on behalf of Schley. For a moment it looked as if the now famous case was about to reach a sudden conclusion. This delu- sion was soon dissipated, however. by an announcement on the part of Cap tain Lenly that he might ask to be allowed to bring one more witness on Monday, and also by statement from Mir. Rayner that Admiral Schley him self would desire to return to the stand Monday to correct errors in his evil dence as officially reported.
 There is a probability that the ad miral will consume considerable time going over the printed record of what he said, and it is also understood that he will make some additions to his former statements. But it is believed that beyond what he has to say there will not be much more testimony taken.
 The only witness the judge advocate still has in mind is Lieutenant Strauss. stand on Monday to make corrections of his testimony. These details com pleted, the argument of counsel will be- gin. and then the counsel and public. will withdraw and allow the court to pursue it's deliberations. The task be- fore the court is not light one and F. may be weeks before a final verdict $ reached.

 Secretary Hitchcock explained the situation. and says that if the abroga- ton proves to he a disadvantage to the Indian children or a detriment to their best interest he would recall it and re-establish the Browning ruling. which was made September. 1898. and directed that Indian agents first should build up. maintain government day schools. and declared that Indian parents have no right to designate which school their children shall at tend. The abrogation of the ruling has already caused numerous inquiries of the interior department.

 Adams is the mans name, and he came here from Albuquerque. He isn't a very old man, but he knows a Knights of the Brush are well known to Phoenix people. The candidate for honors is inveigled out beyond Phoenix park under the pretext of meeting some handsome young ladies. who are supposed to reside there. and who are anxious to form his acquaintance. In stead of meeting the young ladies he. of course. runs into an armed band of the brotherhood. and at the discharge of their six-shooters the initiate is supposed to see how quick he can cover the intervening two miles between the chaparral and the arc light district
 But Adams didn't inveigie worth a cent. although he appeared to at first. Some disgruntled member of the or der undoubtedly gave the snap away. and at the next meeting he will be burned at the stake if his identity can be ascertained. Adams accompanied the decoy out to the usual scene of sac rifice. and when the armed brother hood fired the first volley he made one panther-like spring and then hugged the ground. The decoy ran a little dis tance and dropped as usual. Then the members of the initiatory team came up with their smoking revolvers and began to congratulate themselves that that was the best ever.
 ''Whar did he go?" asked Perry Polk
 ''He went to town" answered the decoy. who was sure he saw the man shoot by him like meteor. Another member said he saw a black streak pass the street car at the park corner and he reckoned Adams must be in the sheriff's office by this time.
 He is about the rapidest thing in my time.' said Theodore Thomas. "The ground done opened up an swallered him. I guess.''

 About that time Adams rose up from the roadside a few feet away and said: ..Ah you fellows, go way back an sit down, your works too coarse
