Visit of Old Timer.

j. NJ. Erskine, a special representa-
tive of the New York Life Insurance
company, is in town for a visit of sew
eral days. Mr.. Erskine while not a
permanent resident of this section, is
by no means a stranger to Prescott
although it has been two years since
his last visit here, and naturally notes
the great changes and improvements
which have been made in that time.
He was among the earliest pioneers
of Coconino county, having been con-
nected with an engineer corps, under
Chief Engineer Kingman, which To-
Gated the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
spending year or so lin the territory
now embraced in that county. Their
camp for large portion of the time
was where the town of Flagstaff now
stands, but at the time there we're few
residents there except some Mormons
engaged in cutting ties for John W.
Young, son of Brigham Young. A
few of these had their families with
them. They purchased all their sup
plies from Prescott, from three to four
days being required to make the trip.
Mr.. Erskine has for some years been
engaged in the life insurance business,
and made an enviable reputation in
that line of business as there are few
men engaged in it who understand it
more thoroughly than he. Represent
ing, as he does, an excellent company

Story of a Dead Cat.

Kirkland, April 2S.-There are peo-
pie skeptical and cynical enough to
doubt the faith Of our forefathers and
foremothers too, about the bad luck
a murdered cat will bring to its slayer.
A miners very recent experience
here fully justifies the ancient faith.
He had the misfortune to step on a
recently acquired kitten and squash
ed' it fiat. He thought it dead and
threw it outside. In the morning it
was at the door in a pitiful condition.
He felt that death was its most merci-
full fate. But be nursed it along for
few days, when it dragged itself to
an abandoned we'll seventy feet deep,
where the miner had taken out the
timbers and ladders for thirty six feet
from the bottom, at which distance he
was then working. The kitten fell to
the bottom, and the startled miner
concluded 70 drop a stone on it and
end the matter He made a center
shot. But his conscience troubled
him. He wondered how he would feel
if his most trusted friend would drop
a stone on him when at the bottom of
a we'll with his ribs broken. II was
dangerous place anyhow, and he

luck Ibegan. In drawing up ladder
he had loosened, he dropped a crow
bar to the bottom. Next the ladder
got tangled in and old rope and he

knife and it followed the crow bar.
Then he went home to get supper. In
splitting wood a silver in a very Gu
rious and improbable manner split
his new axe handle. When he thought
his supper was ready he discovered
that he had never put the dough in
the oven. He muttered something
that was not prayer and fired up
hastily and concluded to read while
waiting on the baking. When he
looked at his bread it was done-to
charcoal. He feared to GO to bed lest
the kitten would choke him to deaf b

old boy of Station Agent Miller came

father was busy at work and informed
him that Zone of Willey's kids had

and sympathetic agent sprang up from

Fire Friday Morning.

The shrill whistle of the electric
light plant at few minutes past five
o'clock this morning awakened the
slumbering citizens of the town.
The occasion for the alarm was a
fire in the old building of Clark &
Adams, near the depot, formerly used
as saw mill but for several months
used by the D. Levy company, and by
the Prescott Transfer company as a
warehoue.
The fire was discovered by Night
Waterman Plummer, at the depot, who
gave the alarm but it had already
made great progress and by the time
the department arrived there, the
entire building was enveloped in
flames. and it was completely destroy
ed, together with all Of its contents.
The place has been the rendezvous
for hobos and tramps for several
years, in fact ever since it was aban-
doned by Clark & Adams as a saw
mill, and raid after raid has been
made by the officers on the place, but
without breaking up the gang which
infest it.
On account Of the slope Of the
ground, the place underneath the
building proper furnished an ideal re-
treat for this class of people. Efforts
have been made to keep them out by
boarding up this place, but without
avail, as no sooner would it be done
until the boards would be taken off
and the place turned into sleeping
quarters again. The fire is supposed
to have originated from this cause, as
there was no fire about the place.
The building was owned by Clark &
Adams and while its present value
would be hard to determine, it cost
when built from $1,000 to $500. They
carried an insurance of 500 on it.
The hay aud grain stored in it at
the time by the ID. Levy company was
valued at over $1,000, with insurance
at $500.
The Prescott Transfer company IS
loss of coal amounts to from s75 to
800 with no insurance.

Portable home nesting at the foot of

pretty little stream of water which
gushes from a mountain spring near
the house and ripples down through
the orchard, makes a fellow think that
he has struck fairy land after he has
crossed fifteen or twenty miles of

Mr.. Sessions has been justice of the
peace in this little neighborhood and
has officiated at nearly all the we'd
dings that have taken place during
those years, and especially has that
been true of all his children and
grandchildren, but the record has
been broken at last, and rather than
go back on the good old republican
party of which he has been a loyal
member all his life, he has lost a
wedding fee and the pleasure of pro-

of his grand daughters with the man of

NEGROES DISFRANCHISED.

The supreme court of the United
States has rendered triangular decis-
ion in case before il from Alabama.
1t was case involving the disfran-
chisement of negro, under the new
constitution of Alabama. Under a
clause of this constitution about nine
tenths of the negroes of the state we're
disfranchised by prohibiting those
who could neither read nor write from
voting. Suit was brought by jackson
W. Giles on behalf of the negroes
against the board of registration of
Montgomery county. Giles particu-
lar complaint was that he had been
denied the privilege of registering.
and the case was brought to the su-
preme court.
Justice Holmes who delivered the
opinion of the supreme court. said
that for the court to interfere would
be an unheard of relief in cases pre-
sentingsonly political questions.
Justice Harlan dissented from this
opinion on the ground that the court
should have declined to assume juris-
diction. and not TO refuse to pass on
the question. Justices Brewer and
Brown dissented, holding that, as
Giles was denied the right of voting
for a member of congress, a federal
question was involved, and that the
supreme court could interfere. and
did have jurisdiction.
The opinion, as handed down by
Justice Holmes, is the decision of the
court and governs in the case, the
dissenting opinions having no weight
