CALIFORNIA STORY
WITHOUT HFFIDhVIT
Tale OF a Hunter Who Was Borne
on Deer's Back Over Rdvines
and Rocks

WILLOWS, Calf. Sept 5.-The
story of an exciting experience had by
Joseph Mealey, in the Coast Range
mountains, west of here. was told to-
day by hunters returning from that
locality.
Mealey, with friends, was enjoying
a hunting trip in the mountains. Early
one morning he was out in search Of
deer. After spending considerable
time tramping over the side of a noun
tain ithout any luck, he stopped to rest
on a large boulder on one side of a
steep rayine.
After being there a short time he
observed large buck on the opposite
side of the ravine He raised his rife
and fired. The deer dropped and
Mealey rushed over to his game. The
buck was stretched out, apparently
dead The hunter started to bleed
the deer and sat astride the animal to
begin operations.
When the knife entered the deer'S
throat the animal jumped to its feet
and was off on run in flash. The
hunter managed to stacy on the bucks
back gripping its antlers and neck.
After running over a third of a mile,
jumping boulders, ravines and brush,
the deer dropped dead from the effects
of the bullet
Mealey was sick from fright He
knew not at what moment he would be
thrown off the deer's back, nor when
the buck might leap down a ravine
hundreds of feet deep.

He is now in hiding in the Savan-
nah river swamps in the upper part
of this county. He has been several
times seen since coming to Georgia
during the last week and is as slick
an article as the famous outlaw, Ira
cy. He met a gentleman in the road
the other day, and at the point of a
pistol compelled him to undress and
so to his home without any apparel.
Another time lie went up to a grist
mill not far from his swamp hiding
place and compelled the miller to put
a 5ushel CT meal on the back of a
horse. Then he mounted, said good
morning and rode away.
The sheriff of this county has been
very Jealous in searching for the MUIR
derer, but up to the present time all
his efforts have come to naught.
The authorities of both the States
Georgia and South Carolina-as well
as the families of the murdered of
ficers, have offered large rewards for
Jeffcoat's capture.

The Navajo Indians
FIRE Not StdrV..nQ

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Sept. 5.-Ma-
jor c. w. Hayzlett, Indian agent for
the Navajos at Fort Defiance, is in the
city. He declares with emphasis that
the reports that have been circulated
regarding suffering and famine on the
reservation are absolutely baseless.
He charges that the reports have
been wilfully spread by the trading
companies for tho purpose of securing
a government appropriation and thus
putting more moneyin circulation in
tre legion. There has been some
drouth on parts of the reservation, the
agent says, but no stock has died.
The Indians have secured all their
crops and are unusually prosperous.

REPORTED MINE SHLE
PIMH COUNTY MATTER
The LlnCoId Copper Company
Hard to Logate but Finally
Found Out

The following Associated Press dis
patch created no little excitement in
Tucson this morning:
"St. Louis, Mo-, Sept 3.-The great
Lincoln Copper Mining company, con-
trolling one of the largest mining prop
critics in Arizona, has sold its holdings
to syndicate of Chicago and Cleve-
land capitalists, among whom are Pres
ident Worth of the Motor Cycle COM
pany of Chicago, and John D. Rookie
feller.
while no consideration as to the
statement is made, it is said that the
Amount / aid is $6,OOO,OO0. The COM
pany Wns 1000 acres of mineral lands
in Fima county, Arizona, thirty miles
south of Tucson
Inquiry on the part of a reporter for
The Citizen revealed the fact that the
Lincoln Copper company was not we'll
known in Tucson. Neither of the
banks ever heard of the company. The
president of the Chamber of Com
merce never heard of it. Messrs.
Sampson and Bent, who are believed to
have an intimate acquaintance with
every mine and prospect hole in Pima
county, declared they never heard of
the Lincoln Copper company. It was
learned at the court house that the Lin
coin Copper company was not tax
payer. 1t has never contributed to the
support of government Mayor Schu-
macher never heard of the company,
nor did many others who were asked.
At last, however, trail was found.
Messrs. Wright & Fleming are the at
torn ays for the company, and they
know all about the mines. According
to Porter Fleming the claims fifty in
lumber, are located in the Sierrita
mountains, about thirty nIiles south of
town. The claims are owned by Fannie
Pogue, a eolored woman who inherited
them from her late husband Captain
Garcia. Mrs. Pogue has owned them
for fifteen years, and it is claimed mas
taken $S0,000 out of them The
claims are said to be rich in copper
gold and silver.
Some time ago Mrs Pogue gave an
option on the property to Henry PickeI,
a lawyer of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and II.
Il. oturtavent, a mining engineer of
st. LOUIS, Missouri.
Mr. Fleming had no information re-
garding the amount of money involved
in the transfer, but was disposed to
think that the sum named in the dis
patch, $4,000, 900, might be little over
rated. Mrs. Pogue lives in Tucson.
She is fat, black and fully forty.
Frank H. Hereford, the well known
lawyer, is said to have sold several
claims in the same vicinity to Messrs.
Rickel and Sturtevant some time ago.

TWO HAT SCHEME
TO BEHT THE BOSS
One of the Methods Adopted in
Washington to QuenCh the
Thirst

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 5.-The
officials of the treasury department
have discovered a new species of the
genus hobo. They have given him
the name of 1.-TWO Hat Man. The
chief thing about him to distinguish
him from others of the human kind,
is the possession of an abnormal
thirst one Of the kind that is in ev-
idence all the time He does not wear
two hats all the time, but nearly all the
time he has use for two pieces of head
covering.
Without them he woul5 suffer all
the horrors of an unquenched thirst,
or if he quenched it he would be in
danger of losing his job. The poss-
session of the two hats makes it pos
sible/for him to go out during office
hours and get drink without run
ming into much danger of being sep
araied from the service" which is the
euph.onism Washingtonians employ to
express the fact that a man has been
discharged.
When the clerk with the thirst ar
rives at the Office in the morning he
hangs his ordinary hat on a peg. It
stays there until closing time, which
is moro than can be said of the owner
thereof When the clerk feels the
need of bracer, he walks out of the
office, and two minutes later he may be
found standing at the bar nearby, but
he is not bareheaded. AS soon as he
emerges from the granite pile where
the money is stored in great bales, ne
pulls soft hat from his pocket, ad-
justs it and is prepared to associate
ON terms of equality with all mankind.
If, rerchance, during his absence,
the boss comes along and asks Where
is Jones?" his fellow clerks look up and
surmise that he is in one of the other
offices, as there is his hat on the peg.
That sanswer has. heretofore satisfied
the shopping superior who has never
thought of the two hat scheme until
within the last week Now, however,
there is censure of 4he two-hat man.

to be out of their seats, even when it

PLATT,S WARNING
The New York Boss Sdys the New
York Republican Convention
viii Not Endorse Roosevelt
for President

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 5.-Poli-
ticfans in Washington regard as a bad
omen for President Roosevelt the state
ment made by Senator Tom Platt in
New York yesterday, that the forth
coming Empire State Republican con-
vention would not indorse Mr.. Roose-
velt for the Presidential nomination in
1904. Mr.. Platt said that while the
convention would give it's APPROVAL to
the administration of the President, it
was too early for it to indorse any
mans aspirations for 1904.
There is no doubt in the minds of
politicians and public men at the ma
tioal capital that Senator Platt intend
ed to throw a damper upon the Presi-
dents aspirations two years hence.
make such an announcement at this
time is matter of conjecture, but it is
the common belief that he was actu-
ated by the Presidents antitrust
speeches in New England and by his
reported interference in the Twenty
second New York Congressional dis
trict contest last week, by means Of
which Representative Littauer man
aged to secure denomination against
the PPlatt candidate. The principal
motive of Mr.. Platt however, is gener-
all attributed to the desire of the big
corporations of New York to have the
President understand that they do not
approve of his agitation of the trust
question.
A special dispatch from New York
to the Washington Evening Star,
treating of Senator Platt's statemet,
says:
Everywhere his statement is taken
to mean that the trusts intend to pun
ish the President, and this is the open
ing gun of the fight on him. It was
told a week ago by one acquainted with
the political situation in this State to
look out for just such a propositin;
that the trusts were after the Presi
dent and would fight him in his own
State. At that time it had not been
decided to commence the warfare so
soon as Senator Platt's announcement
makes it begin. 1t was thought that
some fine inside work would be advis-
able before coming out into the open.
Senator Platt's statement is warn
ing to the President that Wall street
does not relish his speeches, and an in
timation that he should be more con-.
servative if he wants to retain the
backing of the party in his own State
1t will be interesting tosnote what eff
feet this warning will have upon MIR.
Roosevelt 1t may be said to be a
bolG and audacious act to undertake to
discipline a President, but that is the
way Senator Platt's announcement is
taken
