 He told the boy that the main ambi- ton of his life was to get back to Phoe- nix. He said that he had four ten Gol- lar gold pieces in his pocket and that all that wealth would belong to the person who would land him in the capi- tai of Arizona.
 Justice Robertson thought he recog- nized the voice of the stranger as thas of a prominent citizen of Phoenix. known all over the territory. and he arose in deshabille. The stranger prov ed to be the man he thought he was. As soon as he saw the judge he fell up- on his neck for joy and declared that he had been saved. He also told the story of his wanderings.
 He said that in fit O: ennui he had started out for a walk thinking that the bracnig atmosphere of 107 in the shade would do him some good. He had no particular objective point, but he had heard of the improvements that were going on on the Heard ranch on the south side of the river and thought that he might as wei! go there as any where else. He went to the Gray cross ing. with which he was familiar. and then went on until he was in terra incognita. There was nothing familiar and he could not find his way back to

THE STEPPING" OF THE STACK
An Interesting Ceremony by the Elec-
 tric Light Company This Morning

The big smoke stack of the Phoenix Light and Fuel company will be stepped" as they say in watching cir Cles today and an immediate improve ment in the light and power service of the city is expected to immediately en- sue. Two attempts have been made to put the monster stack in place. In the first one the derrick fell before the stack had been raised from the ground. In the next the stack itself fell after it had been within two minutes of safety, sudden gust of wind proving too strong for the gin pole. It is almost certain that there will be no accident today. Thirty feet have been taken from the height of the stack, which was originally 130 feet. It was estimated that that height would be necessary for. the burning of coal. but the con- pany is figuring on the use of coal only as a remote contingency. Seventy eight feet will be high enough for oil. If it should ever happen that coal would have to be substituted for oil, then the stack will have to be taken down and heightened.
 The work of raising the stack will be begun this morning and by evening the new and powerful boilers which have been in for some time will probably be in operation.

FIGHT OVER WOMAN
Tn Which One Globe Man Seriously
 Stabs Another.

Last Sunday evening. about $50 o'clock. in an affray between Ben F.. Hicks and Fred M. Horn, the latter was stabbed twice with a pocket knife. the most dangerous wound being at the ninth rib. directly in line below the left nipple, says the Globe Silver Belt. The blade entered the pleural cavity. but did not injure the lung tissue. The other wound, which Is slight, Is also on the left side. four or five inches back of the first cut.
 The meeting between Horn and Hicks occurred in the gulch immediately south of the North Side school house and near Horns home. Friends of Horn claim that Hicks laid in wait for Horn and attacked him, while Hicks alleges that Horn was the aggressor and that he acted in self defense. Mrs. Hicks, who was formerly the wife of Horn, is also involved in the affray.
 Hicks surrendered himself and is in jail. being unable to furnish the bonds of $500 required by Justice. Carico. The hearing of the case has been set for July 15.
 Horns injuries are not of themselves dangerous, and unless some serious complication, such as pneumonia or pleurisy. intervenes, his recovery is as- sured.
 Public sentiment is very strongly ir Horns favor.

A BROKEN PROMISE
Came Near Costing Mexican His
 Life.

Alberto Abilla is in the county jail awaiting arraignment today on a charge more or less serious. Last ev- ening just about sundown he was standing in a crowd of men outside the Columbus saloon when he pulled a 3S-calibre revolver out of his pocket and fired it at one of the crowd, saying, I'm going to kill that man." finishing the sentene with a lot of unprintable language. An American who was in the crowd disarmed him and brought the weapon to the police station. When asked why he did not bring the man he said he did not know he had the authority to do so.
 Before a policeman could be sent there Deputy Sheriff Widmer appeared and arrested the Mexican, taking him to the county jail.
 The man shot at in the meantime the prisoner into giving up some facts in the place he was told when jailed that he had shot the man in the stom- ach and that he would die. That news he said was very satisfying and when asked what he shot him for he said it was because the other man had prom ised'' to kill him. He was seemingly trying to shoot the other fellow for not keeping his word.
 Abilla is employed by a rancher named Dick Johnson. The name of the man he was shooting at had not been ascertained last night.

THE WHITE DOVE DEAD
And the Reputation of Three Phoenix
 Sportsmeu Given New Life.

The Republican herewith makes an abject and humiliating retraction. There appeared in these columns some months ago the story of a futile at tempt by Dr. J. l.. Hamilton, William Milton and P. A. Tharaldson to kill a white dove which they thought they saw in the vicinity of Alhambra. In the first place nobody else had ever seen a white dove in this part of the country though 1t is understood that they may be found in Scotland and Timbuctoo, both of which countries are far removed from Alhambra
 Incredibility was lent to the story by the statement of the gentlemen that travelling over the field a mile apart they had all seen and fired at the white dove simultaneously. The incredibility increased when they said that after they had given up the attempt to kill it and had joined each other the dove appeared before them and invited an- other fusilade. They fired at 1t point blank at a range of not more than if teen feet and the dove flew away with a sound which seemed to them to be a ha ha.
 When this story was printed some of the friends of the hunters accused them of seeing things and on the fol- lowing night the temperance society to which they belong began an investiga- tion of the story, but it is unders stood that on account of certain influences which were brought to bear the mat ter was dropped with the understands ing that the white dove business should be permanently cut out.
 It turns out though that there was actually white dove. It was brought

The high water of the Mississippi is giving hopes to the people of the old village of Redwood. ten miles below Chester. III.
 Old people of that vicinity will re- member that Redwood was once d thriving town. but that the channel left it five miles inland twenty-eight years ago, and as a result the place has been almost abandoned.
 Now the channel has dropped back and the deserted village will be re- built. The old stone mill will be re- paired and set to work The people who once inhabited, but who sorrow fully turned their backs on the doomed city. will come back rejoicing.-C Chicago Inter Ocean.

Milton and Thar aldson and Dr. Hamilton and set out in quest of the white dove. They found it in the same neighborhood where it was seen before and at the first shot MT. Milton brought it down. The time of the dove had come and the gentle men who had attempted it's slaughter on the previous occasion are restored to the confidence of society. The dove was carefully examined by the sporting editor of The Republican and he is willing to make affidavit that he is of the impression that it had not been whitewashed or painted.

And watch the shadows pass.
