Will Not Employ Chinese.

Reports are being sent out of Dou- glas to the effect that the Phelps Dodge company has decided to dis charge the Mexicans employed at Naco- zari and employ only Chinese, says the Bisbee Miner.
 If this was the case 1t would be inn portant for the reason that later the company might make smother change and attempt to employ Chinese in their Arizona mines.
 The reports from Douglas state that the Phelps Dodge company has found it impossible to get Mexicans to work Tn the mines and on the railroads, and that to avoid trouble and annoy ance force of Chinese would be put in their places.
 This morning Superintendent Walter Douglas was shown dispatch sent from Douglas, and asked if there was any truth in the statement. He replied as follows:
 "You can say that this report is in correct. No such plan as stated is contemplated by the company. To be- gin with Chinese will not do at all under ground. They never make good miners.'
 eve have been having some trouble getting enough Mexicans to work in the mines for the reason that they are now in the central part of Sonora planting their crops. In about two months they will be back and ready for work"
 Superintendent Douglas stated furth- CT that 1t was possible that Orman & Crook would employ large number of Chinese on the railroad construction work. The only reason they are being employed is that Mexican laborers are hard to get.
 Some two weeks ago tramp steamer landed HOO Chinese at Guaymas. It is estimated that fully 4000 Chinese have landed at Guaymas within the last sixty days and have been given employment.

EDUCATED APACHE INDIAN.
lie Visits His Native Heath After
 Years of Absence

Dr. Carlos Montezuma arrived in PhTnix yesterday morning, says the Phoenix Republican, accom- panied by Mr. E. F.. Witter of Des Moines. DF. Montezuma is quite well known throughout Arizona, of which he is native, an Apache. He is perhaps the most varied career of any man ever born in the territory. Captured by a Pima Indian in the Superstition noun tains, he was taken about the coun-- try and was finally sold to travel ing Italian artist and was taken east. He was put to school in Cki- cago and in 1884 he was graduated from the University of Illinois at Champaign. He subsequently took a course in the Chicago Medical college, graduating in 1889. After that he was employed by the in terior department as medical in SIructOr Tn various institutions He was for some time resident phys ician at the Indian school at Car lisle.
 He is now of the faculty of the Chicago Medical college, featuring on diseases of the stomach and in testines.
 Dr. Montezuma, whose Indian name by the way, was Wassa Jah, has frequently visited Arizona, the last time accompanying the famous Carlisle football team in its suc- cessful tour of the country four years ago.

WRECK NEAR WACO.
Railroad Officials Seriously Injured
 A Miraculous Escape From Death.

Word was received here yesterday of a serious collision on the Cananea, Yaqui and pacific. which occurred about six miles below Naco, about 9 p. m. Thursday. A head end calli- sion caused bad wreck and injured a number of people. A private car con taining the officials of the road was demolished and the inmates seriously injured. Division Superintendent c. 0. Scroufe of the s. P. Company was badly hurt, receiving scalp wound that almost circled his head, and also believed to be injured internally. Epes Randolph, president of the road, had his right foot mashed and received some severe abralsions, while Gen eral Manager Mcfarland had some bad cuts and wounds about the head and neck. The colored porter was seriously hurt and is under treatment A number of others are also reported badly injured. The wreck was seri ous one and occurred while the off cials were returning to Naco, the reg ular passenger train running into them. The injured were brought to Naco, were medical attention was had. That no one was killed is regarded as a miracle, and the officials are being congratulated upon escaping with their lives. The officials departed shortly after for Tucson. .-Tombston Prospector.

SIOO.OOO Fire at Phoenix.

Wednesday morning of last week a fire started in the D. H. Burtis plumb ing establishment on Washington street, and, before subdued, damaged this and adjacent property to the ex- tent of $1O0.OOO, covered by $7O,OOO insurance. The building occupied by the Alkire company was completely destroyed with almost the entire stock of the store. Elvery & Hulett, the druggists, suffered loss of perhaps 5000. The Burtis establishment sustained loss of $15.OOO, while the Alkire company, the heaviest loser, places it's loss at about $65, 1000, fully covered by insurance. The Cotton block, on the corner of Washington and Center streets, was also damaged and the offices on both floors badly scorched.

Judge Davis Returns-Taiks of
 COnrOy'S Suit.

Judge George R. Davis returned to the city this morning after thirty days vacation trip spent with his family on the coast, and will hear some court matters which are set for Mon day. The judge is looking well and clearly shows the benefit from his rest. He reports that Arizonians- have taken possession of Los Angeles after their usual summer fashion. Mrs i Davis was i'll for ten days from se- were attack of pleui esy, but is nov fully recovered. The family will re- turn to Tucson about October 1.
 With reference to the damage suit which Attorney Conroy brought against him in the Los Angeles courts, Judge Davis says it does not annoy him, and at the most can only result in placing MT. Conroy in a bad light before his home court and bar ''All my acts in the case which was tried i'll the District Court here," said the judge, "were judicial acts and subject to review upon appeal in the Supreme Court, if Conroy or his client were dis satisfied with the ruling and orders which were made. It is principle as old as jurisprudence itself that judge cannot be held personally liable for in- juries resulting from his judicial acts. This is essential to the independence of the judiciary. If it were otherwise no man could afford to sit on the bench. The law provides a system of appeals through which the errors of subordinate courts can be corrected. If a convict upon release from the pen itentiary could maintain an action against judge in another jurisdiction for damages resulting from his alleged wrongful conviction and have the merits of the case again inquired into, you can readily imagine what judicial shaos would ensue. While question ing his judgment and professional ethics in this matter, 1 entertain no personal feeling, whatever, against MT. Conroy. l only did my duty in the light which saw it, and, after an op- portunity for reflection, am ready to say that should another case be pre- sented to me under like conditions, 1 would follow exactly the course which I pursued in the case in which MT. Conroy appeared as counsel, with pos sibly less degree of leniency than was shown to him."-Citizen.

Took to the Hills.
years ago

The following libelous attack was recently made by a Phoenix exchange: A bashful young phys ician of Iron Springs was invited out to dine in Prescott. He sat opposite a mirror and discovered that he had forgotten to comb his hair. Then he dropped his fork, and as he stopped to pick it up he upset his coffee. Matters went on from bad to worse, until finally, in despair, the young man quit eating and put his hands under the table. The loose end of the table cloth was in his lap. He touched it and turned pale. He thought it was his shirt and that he had in his excitement while dressing forgotten to put the garment in his trousers. That accounted for his further em-
 barrasment. He hurriedly stuffed the supposed shirt in his trousers. Afterwards when the family arose from the table, there was a crash The dishes lay on the floor in a broken mass. The young man pulled three feet of table cloth out of his trousers and took to the hills.
