DARING HOLD.UP
A Bold Highwayman Lies in Wait for
 Blsbee Miners.

Friday night, just a few moments atter the six o'clock whistle blew. and las a number of miners were coming home from their work. lone high wayman appeared at the section house. below the smelters. and with an ugly 32-calibre gun, held up each pedestrian as he came along, says tho Bisbeen Review. He had held up four single men, and gotten the munificent sum ef five cents. Just then party of four men came along. and he stop ped them and had them lined up with their hands in the air, and was about to relieve them of their valuab bles. when footsteps were heard approach lng, and h. stepped out and threw hia gun into the face of MT. R. F. Price. 2 miner ir the Spray shaft, with tha command to hold up his hands. Price took enc look at the man and ducked and jumped in and caught him ar Cund the waist with one arm and the highwayman's gun with the other Af- ter brief scuffie MT. Price succeeded in disarming the highwayman, whom te at once marched up town to the office of Justice Brown. He was searched by Marshal Mullen, who found in his pockets the solitary nick cl that he had gotten earlier in the evening, some discharge papers and q package of black powder The prison er refused to give his name. and was taken to the city jail and locked up. Sheriff Lewis was present when he was locked up in the cell, and tried 10 get something out of the prisoner, hut he would say nothing except that he was an old soldier. This is probab- ly true. as in his pockets were found discharge papers from Company r. Einth infantry, and the age and des- cription fit the prisoner exactly. The name given in the discharge papers is Thomas Grady. He also had meal! ticket made out in the same name from a fruit packing establishment in Southern California, where he had ap~ paTently worked for a time during tho past summer. He has only been in Risbee few days, as he told Sheriff Lewis in the jail that he (Lewis) had paid the prisoners fare from Tomb stone a few days ago. The sheriff could not recall the fact. as he Is de- Ing this almost daily, and did not re. member this particular case. Tha sheriff did remember the prisoner however, and said that he had been here two or three years ago. and was "a bad hombre.''
 It was evident from the finding or the powder in the prisoners pocls- cts. that it was his intention during the night sometime to blow up a safa tn some Of the mercantile houses in town and that his holding up citizens early in the evening was only a pre- liTainary to the cracking. and was done to raise a little extra mon e. and kill time

CLOSES TUESDAY NIGHT
Only Two Days More to Register for
 Bond Election.

The registration of voters for { the special water bond election to be held December 10 closes Tuesday night at midnight. Under the law it must close ten days before the election. It was first announced that 1t would close Monday night, but that was by reason or careless reference to the calendar and it is new authoritatively stated by Mir. Foster that Tuesday is the day and midnight the last hour
 There are two days, therefore, left for those who have not yet got their names on the list and 1t is urged py all that every property owner should see to it that he is registered The question to be decided Is an import ant one and every taxpayer is inter- ested in it whether he thinks he IS or not. It is not only his privilege and duty to register and vote, but it should appeal to his business tudg- ment. Whatever. the outcome of the controversy, if conditions should not be satisfactory to him in the future, he cannot consistently lind fault with them unless he does his duty as a citizen at the present time.

ARIZONA'S NATIONAL GUARD
Compares Very FavOrably With That
 of Other States.

By a study of the roster of the or Sanlzed militia of the United States issued by the war department in October, one is impressed with the idea that Arizona should be proud of the showing made by her national guard establishment. While it, is true 1t is not large compared with New York and few other eastern states it is larger in proportion to the popu- ldtion than most of the western states and many of the eastern sates. While Arizona's population is probably small CT than any western state except Nevada she has a larger guard than

MAY REDUCE WAGES.
Carnegie Steel Company Has Posted
Necessary Notice.

Carnegie Steel Company Has Posted
Necessary Notice.
That reduction in wages is possible
to the men employed in the Homestead
mills of the Carnegie Steel Company
was made known Friday by the posting
of notice by the company that on JAN
1, 1901, there would be readjustment
in the wages of the employees. Officials
Of the company claim the notice does
not necessarily mean any change in the
wage rates. but in view of any possibil-
ity of q change being necessary it was
deemed best TO protect the interests of
the company by posting the notice.
Ever since the strike of 1892 an agree
ment to this effect has been in force be-
tween the company and each of the mill
workers. In case either side was dissat-
isfied with the existing scale agreement
it was stipulated that they must give at
least three months notice of this fact
preceding the first of the year. when the
matter would be taken up and a new
agreement entered into. During the last
four years there has been no disposition
on the part of the Carnegie Company to
change the agreement, but on several oc-
casions it has advanced the wages of the
men voluntarily beyond the rate agreed
upon, until at present they are being
paid the highest wages in ten years.
However, the recent depression in
business has made it necessary for the
company to give the required notice of a
change in the wage scale. While it is
not stated reduction will be made, it is
thought by some that this is the proba-
bic intention, and the posting of the no.
tices has been the theme of considerable
talk among the men.

The crime which these three brothers
committed was deliberately planned and
coolly and cruelty carried out. They had

money matters. SO they got together and
planned his murder, attacked him in his
home, all of them emptying their revolv-

craftsmanship. The crime was proved
beyond any doubt, and it was shown to

Across the Continent in an Auto.

T.. I. Hammond and L. l.. Whitman
of Pasadena, Cal, are the third party
to cross the continent in an automobile.
By road the distance from San Francisco
to New York is 5000 miles. and they
made it in 13 days. The machine was
a small gasoline runabout of five horse
power. weighing 800 pounds. Heavy
rains prevented the continuance of the
trip sixteen days. while another day they
were lost in the desert of Wyoming. The
riders have amusing experiences to re-
late. When lost in the Wyoming desert
pack of coyotes howled around them
all night. They built fire of sage brush
and one sat up and watched while the
others slept, thus keeping off the sneak
ing quadrupeds. Near Battle mountain
they came suddenly upon n lone Indian
tending a camp fire at dusk. The Indian
gave a frightened glance at the horse
less carriage and disappeared with a yell
of terror. Many miles were travelled
over roads upon which an automobile
was never before seen. and the surprise
of the few natives encountered was in
atructive to the travellers. On the trip
Whitman lost twenty pounds and Ham
mond fifteen pounds.

MANY SHACKLES MAY FALL
Every Military Prisoner in America
MAY Be Set Free.

On a decision which will probably be
! filed in st. Paul during the October term
of the United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals depends the freedom of every mill
tary and guardhouse prisoner in the
United States. Tie decision may break
the shackies of a thousand men.
The case is that of Edward NJ Brode,
James F. Coffee, Andrew Handshoe and
John II. Morris, prisoners ut Fort Leav-
enworth military penitentiary The case
hangs on what construction the court will
place on the court-martiai commitment
order that each man shall be confined
in such place as the reviewing authority
shall direct"
The prisoners claim that only the
courts martial have the power to direct n
place of confinement, and that such an
o-ler is judicial and beyond the power of
any reviewing authority. As the courts
martial failed to direct place of con-
6nement, there is no such place, and the
men must go free if this contention is
upheld.
Every military prisoner in the United
States has had his place of confinement
directed by the reviewing authority, and
all will be affected.

Internationaps Report.

Telegraphic advices to the Internation

Rain, low temperature and lack of ex

age to cotton, corn and spring wheat
have tended to check the retail and job
bing demand for dry goods and other
seasonable merchandise at Chicago, St

state that more conservative dealings in
general lines are looked for.
The Industrial situation is rather worse
than better. Thirty or more pig iron fur
naces will shut down between Oct. 1 and
