THE DAILY AMBUSH
Another Battle Between Col
OradO Miners and Guards
There Will be Great Demonstration
To-day at the Funeral Of Two Strik-
ers Killed in Mondays Battle.

Trinidad, Colo, Dec. 9.-While Il
number of deputies and clerks were
driving from Berwind to Tobasco at !
o'clock this afternoon, they were fired
upon by several men hid behind rock
and brush
The deputies and clerks jumped
from the wagon and returned the fire,
the shooting continuing at intervals
for thirty minutes.
No one was injured. Sheriff Clark
and a posse were preparing to leava
for the scene on a special train when
word was received that re-enforce-
ments of guards had arrived from To-
basco half a mile away and that the
ambush party had fed. No arrests
were made.
The trouble is said to have origi-
mated this morning when a miner came
into the mine Office at Berwind and
became very abusive. He was kicked
out by a deputy and it is thought that
he stirred up his friends.
The double funeral of Velanca and
Bandi miners killed by guards in tho
battle at Segundo Monday night Will
be held in Trinidad from the Catholic
church tomorrow afternoon under the
auspices of the miners union.
This being the first blood shed since
the strike, preparations are being made
for d demonstration. over one thou
sand union miners are expected 10
march in the funeral parade. The re-
lations between the miners and the
guards are still strained and trouble
is expected at any time.

Invaded by a Fleet of Rus
sian War Ships

Which Has Set the World to Won
derins If it is True.

London, Dec. 9.-The correspondent
of the Times at Toxic, says that two
Russian cruisers and two battleships
having assembled at Chemulpo, NJ.
Pavloff, the Russian minister to Corea,
accompanied by the admiral command
ing the fleet, had an audience with
the emperor, in the course of which
it is believed, he renewed his protest
against the opening of Yongampho to
foreign commerce.
No further news has been received
here showing that the reported arrival
has any significance beyond that in
dicated in recent dispatches.
The names of the vessels which
have arrived at Chemulpo are not
given.
Dispatches to the Daily Telegraph
from Toxic and Nagasaki, under date
of Wednesday, do not even mention
the arrival of the squadron at the
Corean port.
The Telegraph's correspondent states
that the situation has undergone no
change except for an increase in the
tension due to the protra acted negotia-
tons They also report that the
Japanese government is buying war
material abroad.
The correspondents of both the
! Daily Mail and the Daily Telegra ph
express that Viceroy Alexiefr will start
for st. Petersburg almost Immediately.
Leading editorials in the newspapers

bound by the strongest obligation to
Great Britain to respect the integrity
of Corea as it was on the understand
! ing that this should be done that
Great Britain restored Port Hamilton
! to Corea
The Daily Mails Toxic correspon-
dent says it is reported by the Chinese
representative in Thibet that the Rus
SLAMS are building two forts and are
| preparing to resist the British expedi-
ton The locality in which these forts
are being built is not definitely known

TWICE WON.
Wife Fell in Love With Husband "AI
Over Again."

The wife of a welI-known attorney
at law of Seward Neb., tells the tale
worth reading: My husband was a
soldier in the Civil War and was, as
he called himself AN old coffee cooler
and had always drank very strong cof-
fec.
About year ago he complained of
a feeling of faintness every time after
climbing his office stairs and was also
troubled by terrible headaches that
almost drove him wild.
He gradually grew weaker and
weaker until his afiliction eliminated
in nervous collapse and for weeks he
seemed to be fading away from us in
spite of all our efforts.
The physician pronounced him
strong and well with. no organic
trouble whatever and there seemed to
be nothing the matter except the com
plete giving out of his nervous system.
THE doctors decided that coffee was
at the bottom of all his trouble and
ordered Postum Cereal in it's place. He
improved daily since he quit coffee and
began drinking Postum and now says
he feels better than he has felt for 20
years, headaches are gone, no more
fainting spells and is gaining in flesh
every day and he seems so much
younger and heartier and happier
than he has for years that l have
fallen in love with him over again.
Now for my brothers case; a few
years ago che had a peculiar trouble.
His tongue was swollen and sore at
the roots and covered underneath with
testers.
He thought his affiiction was of a
cancerous nature and his doctor was
of the same opinion. He could scarce
ly eat anything and became so poor
and run down he was simply nervous
wreck. He consulted various physicians
but none were able to diagnose his
case or help him in the least.
AT last 81 doctor to whom he ap-
piled said he believed my brother was
coffee poisoned and advised him to
quit coffee and drink Postum He
gave him no medicine but told him
to give Postum a fair trial and return
to him in six weeks. My brother had
used Postum only about ten days when
the testers disappeared from his
tongue and at the end of two weeks
the soreness and swelling were gone
and he began to pick up in flesh and
spirits.
"He has never touched coffee since
but drinks Postum all the time and has
never had the slightest return of the
trouble.
ITO look at my experience~is it any
wonder 1 can write a heartfelt testi-
monial for Postum" Name given by
Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

pointed by Acting Governor StOddard

sition was a good enc, Mr.. English was

his chosen profession of the law in
which he has already made a marked
success in Phoenix. Mr.. English. from
the time of his first coming to Arizona.

the bar OF the territory as remarkably
well qualified and when he left his prac-
tice to go into the office OF the secre-
tary there was a great deal Of wonder
ment.
Early this year Mr.. English began to
arrange to return to his profession and
last summer ne went to Chicago. TAX
ing with him letters Of intI OductiOn

prominent attorneys. The principal OBJ
ject of his visit at that time was 10
arrange for admission. On his return
he decided to quit the office Of the sec
retary before the end of the year a.
he wished to be esta ablished i'm his pro-
fession by the beginning Of the new
year.
His successor, Mr.. Teaseley. is al
ready well acquainted with the duties
of the office having acted for "A long
time as stenographer for the secretary.
and for a long time last summer. i'm the
absence of both Mr.. StOddard and Mr.
English, he had charge of the office
on the return of both CT them he
found employment for time in the Of
flee of the surveyor general. That was
only temporary employment though.
for he understood that on the departure
Of Mr.. English he would return TO the

courages the raising of fine stock and
there are other things to consider N

mere sport of the two days which, in
itself. is worth the effort.

Mr.. Zeckendorf Dissatisfied With the
Conduct ofhanaser Steinfeldt nihs
Sale Of the Old Boot Nine Changes

Quite a sensation was created today By
the announcement that Louis Zecken-
dorf. the millionaire merchant OF Tue
son, who now lives IN New York. would
sue his partner. Albert Steinfeldt. who
is also said to be millionaire.
There have been hints or a disagree
ment since Zeckendorf's visit here IN
the fall. Trouble. grew out OF the sale
of Old Boot mine last spring TO the
Imperial Copper company for about
three-quarters Of a million. The same
sale also caused trouble between Zeck-
endorf and Selim NJ. Franklin. attorney
in the sale. who claimed a fee Of fifty
thousand dollars. 1t is said that Stein
feldt and his attorney. Eugene :. Ives.
recently made a trip TO San Francisco
to try to make a peacea BILE adjustment
of the matter in dispute. but were IN
successful.
Mr.. Ives left for Tombstone this af-
ternoon with Mark Smith. Before his
departure MIR. Ives declined to make
any statement regarding the suit. but
he admitted that he had been To san
Francisco with SteinfeIdt. He would
not deny that the relations of the part
ners in Zeckendorf and company wer>
strained 1t is understood that Smith
and Ives will represent Steinfeldt and
that Judge Barnes has been retained
by Zeckendorf.
Steinfeldt has been carrying on the

Talking of Cuba, He Speaks
of Panama
A WARNING TO CUBANS
Mr.. Teller Opposes Reciprocity Bill
and Denounces the Activity Of Gen.
Wood in Raising Campaign Fund
in Interest OF Reciprocity.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Senotar Teller
concluded his speech in opposition to
the Cuban reciprocity bill today and
Senator Morgan also was heard in op-
position to that measure.
Mir. Teller again took up the question
Of the activity of General Wood while
governor of Cuba. in behalf OF Cuban
reciprocity with the United states. He
said there were official records to show
that the Cuban government had paid
over $4,000 in that interest during
General Woods administration. He
declared that the press of the United
States and Cuba had been utilized in
supporting the policy Of reciprocity and
quoted figures showing the amounts
paid for newspaper advertising Of this
policy. In conclusion Mr.. Teller said the
five year clause could have no weight
because no legislative body could bind
the act of a future body. That clause
was put in as a stop.
The Alabama senator devoted the
greater share of his attention to the
Panama canal question. He charged
that the United States had broken faith
in failing to obey the Spocner law
and warned Cuba that the same course
might be followed by us toward that
country in case the pending bill should
become a law. Mr.. Morgan took &C.
casion to refer frequently TO the Pan
anna canal treaty and in that ConneC-
tion again freely criticised what, he de-
nominated presidential usurpltioR.'
He declared that the United States is
become affected to the core with covet-
CusnCss, and he said the country
seemed to be quivering with doubt rs

firmed by any foreign office dispatches

the information from Toxic is correct,
it would almost certainly nullify any

proceeding between Russia and Japan.

LEMON HOTEL LITIGATION
There Was No Error in the Deed Exc
cuted to Col. Hedger.

Speaking yesterday of the Lemon
hotel litigation, Mr.. w. T. Smith,
whose name has been prominently
mentioned in connection with it said
that there was one feature of the case
which ought in justice to himself and
]. w. Walker be explained or rather
corrected. The statement was made
in report which appeared in The Re-
publican of the ejectment proceedings
against Mrs. Ellen Lisenbee the oc-
cupant and lessor of the property that
Messrs. Smith and Walker had con-
tracted to sell it to Col. Hedger and
had given him deed describing the
property as lots Z, and II of block 81
when in fact the property shout have
been described as the same numbered
lots of block 25.
That statement is contained in the
complaint of Col. Hedger in his suit
against Messrs. Smith ana Walker for
the recovery of money which he had
paid on the contract.
AS d matter of fact the description
of the property in the deed is correct
but in the contract the above described
error did actually occur. 1t was though,
an error of the typewriter and it was
not in the mind of either Mr.. Smith
or Walker who both knew the nurl-
bers of the block and the lots they
were contracting to sell. The error
was one, however, which did not IN
anyway prejudice the interests of Col.
Hedger who was fully protected ty
the more important document, The
deed itself which was put in escrow
pending the consummation of the
tranSac ctiOn.

JUMP IN OIL
The Price Of Pennsylvania Grades Ad-
vanced Three Cents.

Pittsburg. Dec. 9.-The Standard and
Producers and Refiners oil companies
today advanced the quotation of
Pennsylvania oil three cents, bring
ing the price upto s1.90. the highest
since May. 1895. Laconia. Corning and
Newcastle were also advanced three
cents while the lower grades were put
up one cent.
The gradual decrease in production
necessitating the drawing up on stocks
is said to be responsible for the ad-
vance. Operators have confidently ex-
pected the advance and predict 81 oil
in the near future. Very little new
territory is being discovered but the
drill is active both in wildcatting and
in old districts.

1t would ordinarily be a reflection
upon the business methods of a man
to try to sell property which did not
belong to him but in the case of so
responsible men as Messrs. Smith and
Walker, they would have nothing to
gain by such a transaction.
