A Fatal Cave Located in the Whet-
 stone Mountains.

Benson, Ariz., July 21.-(Specail Cor respondence Of The Republican)- w. F. Dunton was killed by a cave in the Clay mine. operated by Farley & Jenson in the Whetstoac mountains about eight miles southwest of Benson. at o'clock this morning Bill. as he was familiarity called by his friends. has been working for the above firm for a long time and was considered a good miner, but accidents Of this kind happen sometimes to the best of min CTS.

 We have had number of fine rains in this section of the country and the Prospects-are good for more in the near future. The ranges have net been SO good as they are now for the past eight or ten years. Fat cattle are to be seen everywhere.
 The machinery being placed in the new smelter is almost completed. We are expecting to hear the whistle in the near future. J. NJ. COSBY.

THE BAIL $500
The Amount Fixed In the Case of
 Shelby Ii. Cullom.

Word was received from Prescott yesterday in tn matter of Shelby M. Cullom, clerk of the supreme court. and late deputy collector Of internal revenue fer New Mexico and Arizona, mention of whose indictment by the United States grand jury was made i'll the Republican yesterday, that he had been admitted to bail in the sum Of $500. It is said that the charges against him are based upOn< irregularities, or violations of the regulations of the treasury department while acting as deputy collector and not upon fraudu- lent acts. For instance, it is charged that he accepted from one man a sum of $50 for having neglected to cancel the stamp upon an empty whisky bar rel. The money was subsequently, turned in to the government. It is eX- plained that the deputy collectors are not allowed to dispose of the neglects to make such cancellations in this in formal way.
 There was another and a similar complaint made in the presentation of the case to the grand jury. The friends of MT. Cullom are confident that noth- ing but annoyance to him will result from the proceedings which have been instituted.

MODERN LANDSCAPE PAINTING
 TRIED AND FOUND WANTING.

The last winter exhibition at Burl- ington House formed an important landmark in the history of the Royal Academy. 4 special and fairly sue cessful attempt had been made to se- cure a representative gathering of the achievements of the great school of English landscape painters. But what made the exhibition so peculiarly inter esting YVES the juXtapOsition of the works of -Four representative modern Academicians with those of the older masters. Landscapes by Turner, Gains borough and Wilson. and recently painted works by John Brett, Nicat Cole, Moore and Corbet were hung in adjoining rooms; comparison seemed invited, and was, indeed, inevitable.
 The contrast afforded was startling and instructive. It was evident that the so-called naturalistic movement. as interpreted by academical painters, had failed to justify itself; that the sub lime rhetoric of a Ruskin, together with a nice misunderstanding of the procedure of the abstract sciences, had led the art of yesterday into blind

Mrs. Brown sued her husband for d di- vorce and for the custody of their only child. The petition was denied. a cross complaint having been filed. The GUS tody of the child was not determined at the time, but subsequently, this phase of the controversy was brought up.

 The Odd Fellows held installation meeting Tuesday evening and were as sisted by nine members from Phoenix. After lodge refreshments were served and a social time enjoyed by all.
 Tempe's hospitality had a seemingly bad effect on W. II. Somers, who is taking a jaunt around the world. He left here early Monday mOrning>in the direction of Maricopa, but before he reached the Gila he ran short of water and played out. The train picked him up and brought him back to town, where under the proper stimulants he recovered sufficiently to start again last night, this time by way of the train instead of afOot.
 Tuesday nights storm did considera- ble damage. Trees were blown down and. one falling across the canal tele- phone lines. broke both wires and sev- eral poles. The telephone and electric light system were both badly out Of order yesterday. but were being re- paired as rapidly as possible and by now are in fairly good shape again. The new Santa Fe depot was almost totally destroyed by fire during the storm Tuesday night. It is supposed that the building was struck by light ming, and families living in that vicin- ity report feeling d shock at the time. The fire company did excellent work. and it is stated by one who kept time on their operations that but six min utes elapsed from the time the alarm was sounded until the stream was upon the fire. They were decidedly handi- capped by having but one hydrant to draw from and it was q long distance away. At the last meeting of the town council a motion was made to purchase five new hydrants, and one O. , these was to have been placed close to the depot. Had this been done much more of the building would have been saved. As it was the west end and platform were only slightly damaged. Nearly everything inside belonged to the company, including q quantity 0! baTbed wire.
 After things had cooled some yester- day. Fletcher Schureman with the aid of a crowbar opened the safe and found all the papers intact. A curious thing happened. A can of coal oil in the building had the top and spout melted off but did not take fire. Business is

DEVOUT WOMAN MOURNING FOR
 THE POPE.

Since the illness of the pope became serious Miss Annie Leary, created a countess by the pontiff, has been in close retirement, and friends who have called at her town house have been un- able to see her. Miss Leary is a devout Catholic and her love for the pope in- creased when she had an audience in the Vatican some fifteen years ago. Tn charitable affairs that refer to the Catholic church Miss Leary leads. This gentle woman has her hands full these days, and she is forced to stay in town because of a strike among the painters OF her new villa in Newport. She no longer has the historic yellow cottage in Gibbs avenue. However, things would not seem natural in Newport without Miss Leary's weekly musicales. It is probable that she will go in mourning for the pope should he die, and then her arrival ir Newport will be postponed until August. Charles M. Oelrichs. who is noted for his clev- CT comments, has said that Miss Leary is the connecting link between the Newport set and heaven. New York Press.

THE KEEN SENSES OF INDIANS


 MT. stewart Edward White. who whote The Blazed Trail" in writing about the Woods Indians in The Out look, tells the following and other stories to show the keenness of their senses:
 In iourneying down the Kapuskas- ing river. our Indians-who had come from the woods tC guide us-always saw game long before we did They would never point it out to us. The bow of the canoe would swing silently in it's direction, there to rest mOtionless until we indicated that we had seen something.
 Where is it ,Peter?' I would whis- per.
 But Peter always remained contemp- tuously silent
 One evening we padded directly into the eye of the setting sun across a shallow little lake filled with hardly sunken boulders. There was no cur rent. and no breath of wind to stir the water into betraying rifles. But in- variably those Indians twisted the canoe into a new course ten feet be- fore We reached one of the obstruc- | tions, whose existence our dazZled wis ! lOH COulG not dlLcSL uIlAIl liltS NCA z actually below us. They saw those rocks through the simmer of the sur face glare.
 | Another time I discovered a small i black animal lying flat on a point o1 i shale. Its head was concealed behino a boulder, and it was so far away that l was inclined to congratulate myself on having differentiated 1t from th' 1 shadow.
 What is it, Peter?' I asked.
 Peter hardly glanced at it.
 "Ninny- -mcosh" (dog). he replied.
 Now, We were hundred miles soutl of the Hudson's Bay Post and tw' weeks north Of any other settlement Saving a horse, a dog would be abOu the last thing to occur to one in guess ing at the identity of any strange an imals. This looked like a little blacl blotch. without form. Yet Peter knev

 The sense Of smell, tco, is developed to an extent positively uncannY 10 us who havel needed it so little. Your Woods Indian is always sniftinC. al- ways testing the impressions of other senses by his olfactories. Instances numerous and varied might be cited. but probably enc will do as well as a 1Ozen. It once became desirable 10 kill a caribou in country where the ami malls are not at all abundant. Tawa- binisay volunteered to take Jim within shot Of one. Jim describes their hunt as the most wonderful bit Of stalking he had ever seen. The Indian followed the animaPs tracks as easily as you or I could have followed them over snow. He did this rapidly and certain ly. Every once in a while he would get down on all fours to snuff inquir ingly at the crushed herbage. Always on rising to his feet he would give the result of his investigations.
