THE TONTO BASIN MURDER
The Arrest of Zack Booth Charged
 With the Crime.

Word was received from Globe yes terday that Sheriff Rogers. of Gila county. had arrested Zack Booth on Q charge of the murder of Berry and a young Mexican in Tonto Basin last week. The story of the murder was brought to town by a sheepman- whose maine also happened to be Booth. on the night before Christmas. He knew on- lv that the dead bodies of the two men had been found and that Berry was the son of a big sheep owner of the northern part of the territory and that the young Mexican and his faith or were employed by him.
 The Globe Silver Belt, which came 10 Phoenix the next day contained addi- tional facts regarding the murder. It stated that the father of the Mexican, who was at some distance from the boys at the time of the shooting. just before he heard the shots. saw a man riding in that direction and his description of him answered to that of a man who had a goat ranch in the vicinity.
 Zaek Booth owns a lot of goats at Gisela. not far from the place where the murder was committed, though nothing was said in the report from Globe yesterday of the evidence against Booth and it is probable that his arrest was based on that descrip- tion.
 Booth served a term in the peniten- tiary for cattle stealing. He and an- other man stole a lot of cattle. brought them to ProeniX and sold them. He had been pretty wild before, but or his release about five years ago. he set tied down and no complaints were made against him. He is well known to all the cowboys and cattlemen m this part of the territory. Deputy Sheriff Oscar Roberts, on his late trir through the Tonto country to the Mo- gollon. stayed one night at the goat ranch. Booth is living with his moth CT and has several brothers in that part of the county.

VIOLENTLY INSANE
A Nan Who Emerged From an Explo-
 sion Blind and Crippled.

-'he widest of insane men was brought to the county jail yesterday. He had been stopping at the Star lodg- ing house for a day or two. Yester- day morning he grew violent and word was sent to the office of the sheriff. Deputy Widmer went after him. When he arrived at the lodging house he found that the man had removed all his clothing and successfully resisted every effort to clothe him again. It was found necessary to strap him and in that shape he was rolled in a blank at and brought to iail.
 After awhile he allowed the officers to put his clothes on him. In the course of the afternoon he committed other outbreaks. but by the time for his examination he had Quetd down some what.
 It seemed little wonder that he had become insane. He was blind, one arm was gone and some fingers of the oth- CT hand. He said that his name was A. l.. Strong and that he had been a frequent visitor to Phoenix. though he had not been here before for five years. About two years ago he was in Prescott. He had travelled over the west making his living by playing a hand organ. He said he had lost his eyes and his arm in a mining explosion.
 For several years man similarly in- jured. and believed to be the same by some who had seen him, visited Phoe- nix. He was talkative and cheerful. The accident which deprived him of his sight and made him cripple oc- cured iL the Turkey Creek district in Yavapai county a great many years ago.
 Strong was taken to the asylum yes terday afternoon with two other men who had been committed the day be- fore. At the same time a woman was sent to the asylum, making four from this county within two days.

to shoulder fighting like demons, both landing hard rights to the jaw. Cor bett sent a left and right to the jaw and right to the stomach. Hanlon looked groggy for the first time. Cor bett kept after Hanlon and they stih fought shoulder to shoulder, Hanlon hanging on. This was Corbetts round. Corbett stood with his head to Han Ions breast swinging lefts to the stomach and rights to the head and jaw Hanlon tried to fight back but his blows lacked force. If Corbett could have got him to stand back he would undoubtedly have knocked him out.
 Round IA They assumed the same fighting. Corbett putting in right and left to stomach. Hanlon fought back hard and landed two terrific swings to the jaw. He then sent Corbett back with a right to the jaw, staggering the chompion. CCrbett, however, fought back violently and landed some telling bloTs on Corbett's body. Corbett sent Hanlon to the floor with two terrific lefts to the jaw. He was down nina seconds. They went into a miXup and Corbett planted a right and left to the jaw. Corbett stood away, begging away at Hanlon. forcing him to the ropes. The gong apparently saved
 Hanlon from a knockout. Hsn'on stood still, covered his face and body with his gloves and Corbett punched
 him as hard as he could. Hanlon re- fused to be knocked out, however, and when the gong rang, went to his cor ner with a grin.
 Round 15 Corbett tried several lefts
 to the face at long range. but was
 short. He missed hard right for the
 body and another for the face. Cor
 bett iabbed with his left to the face.
 Hanlon being content to rest. Hanlon
 missed hard left swing for the jaw,
 and the champion put a terrific straight right to the face. Ccr-bett
 was short with a. hard right and Eddie
 blocked some hard lefts for the body. Corbett then caught Hanlon with a
 right and left to the stomach and a right uppercut ot the chin that sent Hanlon's head back. Corbett waded in and landed right and left to the
 jaw. The referee asked Hanlon's sec onds to take their charge out of the ring, but they refused. Hanlon is talk ing a most terrific beating. He cou'd not fight back effectively and could hardly protect himself.
 Round Is. Corbett missed a hard right uppercut for the face but mo- ment later sent the Californian to the floor with a right end left to the jaw:
 Hanlon took a count of nine. He then clung to Corbett, the latter trying vainly to knock him out Corbett sent in a succession of rights and lefts to the face. Corbett yelled to Han Ions seconds to stop the contest which they refused to do. Corbett then delivered an avalanche of blows on the Californians jaw. sending him back
 against the ropes. The crowd yelled to the referee to stop the contest, as Han- lon was game to the core and refused to be Knocked out. Graney then inter- fered and awarded the decision to Corbett After the fight COrbett went over to Hanlon and kissed him. Han- Ion said :"You can lick them all When Hanlon went to his corner he
 was seiezd with a severe fit of vcmit- | ing and was carried from the ring very weak and unconscious.

DOMINICAN FRACAS
The Attack on the Capital
 Has Begun
One of the Provisional Governments Tries to Hold up Clyde Line Steam Ship for Part of Cargo.

San Domingo. Sunday, Dec. 27.-ln- surgents are attacking this city which is being defended by the troops of the provisional government. The Clyde line steamer Cherokee arrived in port today. The government authorities demanded that a portion of the Chero- kees cargo destined for Aqua de Com oostel be discharged here. This de- mand was resisted by the steamship agents, who notified the government that the Cherokee would proceed to AZua de Compcstel.
 Tn case of aggression on the part of the government authorities the steam ship agent will ask United States Min ister Powell for protection. A commits sion from San Pedro de Macoris, which has declared in favor of the insurgents, arrived here today and is demanding the surrender of San Domingo to the insuTgent forces.
 General Morales, provisional presi- dent, is determined to resist to the linn it all attacks by the insurgents. He left last night on the Dominican gum boat In1ependencia with the intention of attacking the insurgents in the ports to the south.

A PROMISING CONTEST.

Round 1.--Corbett tried several times to penetrate Hanlon's guard with right and left swings but failed to get under Hanlon's peculiar defense. Finally he got in a right to the nose, q right to the stomach and two lefts to the face. Corbett kept begging away relentlessly and forced Eddie to cover. Corbett got in a straight left to the body as they mixed it.
 Hanlon was mostly on the defensive. In the roiX-up Hanlon drove his right twice to the body and followed it with a right to the jaw Hanlon missed a left and then sent a right to the face Corbett stood up to him and jabbed with the left and right to the face. Hanlon then sent a hard left to the stomach. As the round closed both swung rights and lefts for the face. Corbett did most of the leading polk ing straight lefts for the face and riga uppercuts but Hanlon did effective work in break-aways.
 There was no damage.
 Round ?. Hanlon swung a left and right for the face, but CoTbett put in two straight lefts to the face Cor bett put left to the face and Hanlon missed a hard right swing for the head Corbett bored in, begging away at several light blows.

A GAME FIGHT
Young COrbett Retains the
 Championship
A FATALITY WAS FEARED
In the Sixteenth Round the Referee
 Stopped the Fight and Hanlon, Whose Capacity for Punishment Seemed Unlimited, Was Carried Off.

San Francisco, Dec 29.-A merciful referee, probably saved Eddie Hanlon from being killed by Young Corbett tonight. when he stopped their contes: in the middle of the sixteenth round.
 For two rounds previous Referee Graney had begged Hanlon's seconds to take their man out of the ring, but they kept. the game youngster at it, and finally, fearing that a fatality might result, he ordered the fight stopped. No man ever received such terrific punishment in a San Francisco ring and probably Young Corbett is the only man in the country who could administer such a beating to Hanlon. When the San Francisco boy was car ried 10 his corner he was still con scious. but unable to walk. His sec onds worked vigorously to revive him.
 The terribly beaten lad, however, commenced to vomit and it looked very serious for him for a short time. He was finally revived and was car ried from the ring by one of his sec onds. Before he left Young Corbett paid a high tribute to his skill and gameness and saluted his brother prize tighter with an affectionate kiss.
 IL must be said for Corbett that he was as merciful under the circum- stances as he could be. During the fourteenth and fifteenth rounds, he was anxious to have the fight stopped in order to save Hanlon needless pun ishment.
 The fight tonight demonstrated that Corbett is any mans superior at his weight. At no time during the contest was he in any apparent danger ana when it ended there was not mark upon him.
