WILD BEASTS IN A POCKET.

Corraiicd by Ranch men in Arizona and
Ruthlcssly Slaughtered.
For several months past the noun.
tain lions. bears and wolves that
abound In some parts Of Arizona have
been playing sad havoc with the stock
OH the ranch Of Colin Campbell in Co
chise county. With 10000 cattle on the
range, the heavy losses In calves and
yearlings by the ravages Of the wild
animals have cut down the dividends
of the stock company which owns the
range.
Charley" Montgomery. famous all
over Arizona as a hunter and who was
chief of scouts under General Crook
during the trouble with the Apaches,
was engaged to exterminate the ami
mails which have been raiding the
herds. Montgomery engaged 100 men
Of the Pima tribe and held big round
up of the "varmints."
Early in the morning his Indians ana
a score Of cowboys surrounded dis
trict five miles square In the foothills II
the Chiricahua range and gradually
closed In toward the center. with 200
dogs In the rodeo. AS they reached the
center of the circle catamounts, black
bears. coyotes and an occasional griz-
ely bear tried to break through the line,
but were met by a shower Of bullets.
Dozens Of animals persisted In the at
tempt to escape. but 200 others were
finally cOrnered In box canyon. while
redskins and cOwpunchers picked them
off from the rocks above.
There were scores Of close conflicts
with the enraged and frightened brutes.
and In one melee four Indians were
fearfully manglcd by grizzly before
their shots finally finished the bear.
One of the reds. Antonio HermO, a for
mer chief Of the tribe. received fatal
wounds from the claws Of big fellow.
The dogs closed In on the victims and
dozens Of them were killed before the
| slaughter was complete. The fina.
count showed nineteen dead mountain
lions. five grizzlies. two lynxes and ever
100 coyotes-doubtless the biggest
roundup Of wild animals that has ever
occurred in Arizona.

MONEY BY PRAYER.
Pittsburg Church Reports $12,OCO
for Missions.

Pittsburg. Dec. 22-The Wylie Avenue
church, which holds a rather novel posi-
ton in this city, has been the recipient
of a number of interesting gifts during
the past three weeks. The latest and by
far the most noteworthy, is a cash gift
of $12, 600, which is to be used for foreign
mission work. The donors name will
not be made public at present by the
pastor, Rev. c. H. Pridgeon.
One of the peculiarities of the church
is that no collections are taken at any
time and 1T is said the word money is
never mentioned among the members.
Yet the church has made a remarkab BILE
showing during its one year of exist
ence. The members of the church and
the pastor rely upon prayer for the
maintenance of the church and its work
In fact prayers are offered up continu-
ously fer a period of three hours each
morning for the furtherance of the aims
of the church, various members reliev-
ing one another at frequent intervals.
No prayers are offered UP in public at
the services for the aid of any of the

When DR.. Swope met the train he
found every occupant of it suffering
from ptcmaine poisoning.
DR.. Swope, with assistants, worked
with his distinguished patients and
when the train left for the west he went

DR.. Swope went with the officials as
far as Tucson, and when he returned
to Deming on No. 8 he said all his pa
TENTS were out of danger except one.

CROOKS UTILIZE 'PHONE.
Receiver Talks Over Wire While Be.
ing Robbed.

Brooklyn, Dec 22.@The telephone has
again been used as an instrument of
crime, and with success. About 1:20
o'clock in the morning, George NJ. John
son, receiver for the B. R. I. company,
stationed at the Bergen street depot
was called up on the telephone. The in
strument hangs on the rear wall of the
Johnson placed the receiver to his ear,
he was asked if he would like to get
position as a receiver on another rail-
road. He replied, saying that he was
doing very well at present but still he
was open to offer at a larger salary,
and better hours.
The conversation continued in this
strain for a few moments, when it oc-
CURED to Mr.. Johnson that he did not
know to whom he was talking, and he
asked the name of the man at the other
end of the line. The speaker replied
This is Mr.. Peters" A few more words
were exchanged and Mr.. johnson hung
up the receiver.
Upon returning to his desk Mr. John
son discovered that his being called to
the telephone was part of a very clever
scheme devised to rob him. While he
had been at the phone, a thief, who
evidently had been working in conjunc-
ton with the man at the telephone
raised the window of the office and took
the $3.50 out of the drawer. The money
was part of the receipts turned over to
Mr.. Johnson by the conductors on the
Bergen street division of the B. R. t.
system.
The police were notified, and an effort
was made to find out from what part
of Brooklyn Mr. johnson had been
called up on the telephone. 1t is said
that the call came from a saloon on
Gates avenue.

church'S numerous projects. Yet as
result of the private prayers members
of the congregation declare that these
gifts have been given. AS in the case
of the donation to foreign missions no
request for aid, they say, was solicited
save through private prayer.
Members of the church had been de-
sirous of founding a downtown mission
Recently the matter was made sub
ject of prayer and several weeks ago the
announcement was made that a room
with light, heat and service had been
given for the purpose In this case, 1t
is said, that not the slightest request
was made to furnish the church with
room, but that the gift came voluntarily
from the donor. The mission is on Lib
erty avenue, near Fourth street, and is
under the management of the members
of the church. So far it has been very
successful
Nearly all of the pulpit and church
furniture, along with donations of mon
ey We're secured without demand upon
the public by members of the church.
Last week a large quantity of clothing
was forwarded by the church to Fort
Collins, Colo. 1t was sent in response
to a letter received by the pastor re-
questing clothing for poor at that poins.
vate prayer and in a few days several
bundles of clothes were donated and
they were sent west.
Previous to the announcement of the
receipt OF $4,000 Tor mission work, two
of the church members offered to go to
the mission field. One wanted to go to
China, the other to Africa: Now that
the money is on hand it is probable that
the volunteers will be sent to the for
eign mission field.
The present Sunday school of the
Wylie Avenue church presents a Curl
Gus mixture of classes of children. Sew
eral nationalities are represented and
many of the children come from the
alleys. There are about fifty in the

intention of the teachers of the school
to pay personal Christmas visits to the
homes of the children on that day.
Candy and oranges will be given by the

GRANTED MORE TIME.
President Burt, of Union Pacific, Con-
sidering Boilermaksrs' Ultimatum.

New York. Dec. 22.-Horace Burt,
president Of the Union Pacific railroad,
has notified President Mcneil, of the
boilermakers' union, that he wished an
extension of time before answering the
ultimatum of the machinists and boiler
makers, threatening to call out the men
they control throughout the Hartman
lines.
Mr.. Burt, who has been in New YORK
since Monday. in conference with Mr.
Hartman, stated that he would return
to Omaha early this week to consider
the matter with his employees.
Mr. Mcneil replied that he would not
call a general strike until he had con
suited with Mr.. Burt. He asserted that
the striking machinists of the Union
Pacific would not return to work until
all their demands had been granted and
non union men now employed by the
Union Pacific had been discharged.
Neither Mr. Burt nor Mr.. Hartman
win make public what reply will be
made to the ultimatum brought east by
Mr.. Purt.

SAN ANroNIo's SIDE.
Claimed That Southern Pacific Will
Not Move Its Shops.

San Antonio, Tex, Dec. 22.-The dis
patch from Houston stating that the
Southern Pacific had finally determined
to remove its shops, yards, roundhouse
and everything movable" from San An
Manager Van Week has stated in in
terviewS and letters to San Antonio
people that the company has no inten~
ton of moving it's shops or roundhouse,
and that in time it might be necessary
to move the yard outside of the city
limits because of not having sufficient
room in the city for switching purposes.
The last heard from Mr.. Van Week In
San Antonio has led to the belief that
the differences between the road and the
city council with reference to the build
ing of a viaduct across the reservation
might be settled without even the re-
moVal of the yards from the city.
