BARROW'S SPECIFIC
A Former Prescott Physician Gains Fame and Adds to Medi-
 cal Knowledge.
Treatment Will RevOIutiOnize Meth Ods in Dealing With Blood
 Poisoning.

Residents of Prescott, of decade ol
 more ago, will remember favorably
 Dr. Barrows, a very bright and popu.
 lar young surgeon in the army, sta tioned at Whipple Barracks, who mar ried Miss Hettie Curtis, an equally popular young lady of Prescott. Al though Dr Barrows had the reputa- tion of being skilled in his profession, even his friends thought it a bold stroke on his part, to resign from a life position in the army with the chances it offered for promotion, and go to the great city of New York, to engage in the practice of his profes- sion where he would have as compe- titors the ablest physicians in the world. Reports received from time to time from him, however, have been of a most encouraging nature, as his ability was such that he secured at once a good practice, and just now he has sprung into world wide promi- hence by valuable discovery made by him as will be seen by the follow ing telegram from New York dated January 15:
 ''Dr. Charlse c. Barrows of this city has submitted report of a case to the New York Obstetrical Society and outlined treatment tending to revolutionize the methods of modern medical procedure in dealing with blood poisoning. It would seem, in deed, that an actual specific for this dread ailment had been discovered Briefly, the treatment consists of the injection of formalin into the veins.
 'Dr. Egbert Grandin, president of the New York Obstetrical Society, af- ter hearing Dr. BarTows' report, said: " Without further trial, and taking this case, as it stands, I consider Dr. Barrows' discovery as the most i'm portant contribution to medical sci ence of this generation
 ''Dr. Barrows' experiments were made upon public patients in Belle vue Hospital. A patient was suffer ing from violent case of blood 5pois- oning and had a temperature of los degrees and pulse of 160 It is said Barrows injected into one of the large veins of the right arm 800 cubic centi- meters of formalin. The effects were almost magical. The temperature and pulse rate soon began to fall, and in the course of few days were normal. | The patient is now practically we'll. "
 Dr. Fralich, who claims to have | discovered a cure for consumption, | was carriyng on his investigations on this same line, to discover universal | anti-septic for blood poisoning, when he discovered his consumption cure.

ARZIONA'S CAMELS.
Remnant of Hi JolIy's Hump Backed Animals Reported Seen on
 the Desert

Remnant of Hi JOlly's Hump Backed
 Animals Reported Seen on
 the Desert.
 Hi Jolly is dead but those camels of his still live-in the imagination of newspaper writers. They bob up peri odically in some section of the terri tory, according to newspaper accounts, and travel all over the country through the newspapers. That is, the story not the camels does the travel ing. The latest story comes from Kingman in the shape of a special to the Albuquerque Citizen. It is a pretty story and is herewith given:
 For a number of years reports have reached Kingman that a remnant of the herd of camel. which was brought into this country forty years ago by the government, was still to be found in the desert country south of Bill Williams Fork. No credence has been placed in the stories but a few days ago indisputable evidence was brought here that wild camels are roaming at will in Arizona. Lon Wells, a pros pector, returned yesterday from a trip in the Maipais country between the Rawhide mine and Ehrenberg, and relates that while crossing the desert in that section he came upon three camels, two old ones and young one. Wells says that he was within 200 yards of the animals They saw him about the same time and trotted away out of sight at about the same speed a horse would trot. They were not much larger than horses, but held their heads high in the air and thus assuming much larger proportions. They were very ragged in appearance, being covered with long. scTaggy hair. Wells could no5 get near on account of his horse becoming frightened, but had a good fair view of them for some time. The Mexicans who live in that part of the country informed him that a dozen or more were sometimes seen in bunch and that they had shot several This is positive evi- dence that the camel breeds in wild state in North America.

PACKED THE JURY.

An exchange tells the following story: During an engagement of Joe Jefferson in New Orleans the Elks of that city gave a social entertainment which Jefferson attended. The great impersonator of Rip Van Wrinkle was enjoying himself with the genial mem bers when about midnight the chair man thundered out: Let the police arrest Joe Jefferson and bring him be- fore the chairl" The roof nearly fell in with the applause. as Jefferson was hustled up the main aisle of the hall to the stage. After lowing to the audience he turned to the chairman and asked: "What am | arrested for. Mir. Chairman?" "For discharging firearms in the Catskill Mountains and composing the death of your dog Schneider, said the chairman. The house shook with applause when lief fersOn turned and said: "Mr. Chair man. you must at least cOncede that (pointing to the audience the jurymen are with me. n ''l don't know" said the chairman-''a duffer like you that has packed so many houses may have packed the iury."

A SALOON TRAGEDY
One Mexican Shoots Another About Midnight Last Night in a Gran ite Street Saloon.
Victim Lying at Deaths Door While the Gun WieIder
 Makes His Escape.

A Mexican's saloon on Granite street near Goodwin was the scene oi a shooting scrape last night about Il 30 o'clock. The owner of the sa- loon, in which the tragedy took place, is Alberto Lopez.
 Jose narra. was he victim and he was shot through the right lung, with a 45-caiber Colts revolver. making a hole through him large enough to ad- init a mans thumb. Cassimir Rode las, bar keeper in the saloon, did the shooting and immediately after wards left the place. taking a south erly direction heading it is thought towards wood camp ten miles south of town. where he Is known to have a horse
 Deputy Joe Campbell, accompanied by Alberta Lopez, proprietor of the saloon. left early this morning in pur- suit of Rodelas, Lopez claiming that when Rodelas left he took S45 from the till of the saloon. Rodelas has a bad reputation, having been in jail before for cutting man at Congress.
 The trouble began by some Mexi- can, whose identity cannot be placed. abstracting the bartender's hat from the hook on which it hung. and placed Iarra's hat thereon. When Iarra discovered the exchange he taxed Rodelas with purloining his hat, which brought on a war of words, which ended in Rodelas reaching for the gun, which was always kept be- hind the bar. and shooting larra, the bullet entering and passing through the right lung, and passing completely through the body. At the present writing Iarra is not yet dead but is in a semi-cOmatose condi- tion and his death is considered by the physicians in attendance but a question of very short time.
 Neither one of the men is a perma- nent resident of Prescott, Rodelas having come here about three months ago from Phenix, since which time he has been drinking rather heavily, be- ing we'll supplied with money. Both men are miners, and unmarried, Iarra being young man, of, possi- ply 2 or 3 years. Lopez's saloon is a comparatively new business place, 1 last Christmas being the opening day. |

CUTTING AT MARTINEZ

The sheriff's office last night re- ceived telephone message from Con gress Junction stating that a man named La Cross had stabbed man named Humphreys. Deputy Ben Townsend was sent down to investi- gate and returned today bringing La Cross with him. He stated that La Cross who did the cutting, is not a man with bad reputation and that from what he could learn the quar- rel was provoked by Humphreys, the man who was stabbed, and cut. The main witnesses of the tragedy are in sympathy with La Cross and aided him in making his escape. Hum phreys injuries are serious and he is not expected to live.

MAN WHO BEATS THE DEVIL.
 By s. M Wright.

1 stood in the editor saGctum
 While he was yielding the pen, And thought ''I' Il wait for the paper, ,
 And said "I'll know it then" I looked at the books and the papers
 And the pictures on the wall, And thought, the quiet editor
 Must surely know it all. 1 looked in the editors press room At the wonderful roller press And saw it print the papers;
 The rich and the poor to bless. Then I heard a terrible racket That made me want to know What made some late incomers
 Abuse the editor so. It seemed he'd written an item
 That mostly took quite well, Except with a surly fellow,
 Who now was rais1ng-a rumpus. And another peculiar fellow
 Wanted his paper stopped Because his faith religious
 Had been just slightly cropped. But the editor took it calmly
 And sat with a careworn face Till the boobies left the sanctum
 And vanished from the place. I watched him just a moment
 And seeing he felt so sad, Intuitively said 1, 'Sirl
 They're gone and aren't you glad?" Then smile lit up his features
 And he answered me this way. lis not these plain blunt fellows
 But the fellows that never pay. My book has many a name sir
 That haunts me night and day And some are men of note sir,
 But yet they never pay. "They seem to think that printers In luxury must revel And have no need of money
 Not e'en to pay the devil. '" And so that's what's the matter And printers know it well; The plain man has ideas
 He fearlessly will tell. But the man who beats the devil Ain't fit for heaven or he'll

OLD DOMINION TROUBLES.

Water More Difficult to Control Than
 Fire in United Verde Mines.
 Fire, water and the boilermakers all conspire these days to interfere with the operation of big mines of the ter ritory. Miners reaching Jerome from Globe say the Old Dominion is in a much more critical condition than anything feared for the United Verde. On the night of December fifth these men state that on the tenth level, seven hundred feet from the surface, water broke through in greater vol ume than ever before encountered. It rushed into the mine so fast the engineer running the mine pump on ing ahead of the water going up the manway. This pump was quickly drowned and the lower and smaller stopes filled with water; the time re- quired for the water to fill the large excavations above gave the manage ment time to put in additional pumps, until now they have seven of them of different sizes. The cages of the main shaft have been removed and two bailers holding 1000 gallons each attached and are now worked at the rate of two trips per five minutse The pumps running are one No. g Cameron sinking pump, 700 gallons a minute; a number ', 450 gallons; pump from Tucson, throwing 1000 gal Ions a minute; these with station pumps are about holding their own. The water is lifted to the fifth level, where it makes a respectable creek through a tunnel to the 2 rface. Ul- til the management in larger pumps, the men clailI ere viii be no chance to use r. shaft to work the mine.
 When this will ;,e the men do not know.-Jeromc Reporter.

A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.

Signor Teodoro Schibante, of Turin, has been submitting in the interests of science to some trying experiments conducted by Prof. MOsso at the Turin Physiological Institute, with the ob- ject of ascertaining the proportion of carbonic oxide in the air needed to destroy human life. On three success sive occasions Signor Schibante was confined in a hermetically sealed iron chamber, the air of which was mixed first with 1-333d of carbonic oxide. then with 1-2S5th, and lastly with l-233d. At the third experiment the courageous gentleman ceased to breathe. and was found to be in a cat aleptic state, from which he was only rescued by means of oxygen. The re- suit of the trials are considered of high scientific importance.
