lyon Dennis Repeats a Story.

Up at Manuelito, the other day, Ben Williams, an Indian trader, told me of Navajo wedding he once attended. A buck having found a squaw quite to his liking, tells his father of her, and he ar ranges the particulars. An ambas- sador is sent to the home of his sons loved one, and he decides how many ponies, blankets, belts, or other commodities should be paid for the bride. This settled, a date is set for the wedding, and on that date the groom, attended by family and friends, goes to his brides home. Her father leads the way into his wigwam, the young couple following next, and the at- tendants after them. Inside, the bride and groom sit down together. She pours water from a Piute h. dian water dipper over his hands, which he washes, in turn pouring water over her hands. A medicine man then enters, sets a wedding hasket-also made by the Flutes full of corn meal mush between them, and with pollen from the corn blossom makes a cross upon the corn meal. The bride and groom circle around the basket, taking a little mush from each end of the cross, and then the company eats of it, so concluding the cer- emony. The wedding basket is kept by the brides mother; the ponies, cattle, and whatever else was paid for her is divided among the members of the family.

Reward for a Murderer.

Governor Brodie yesterday is- sued reward of $500 for the cap- ture and conviction of James Me Kinney. allies Mcintyre, who mur- dered Charles Blakey and Roy Winchester, in Mohave county last week. The proclamation was sent out yesterday afternoon, and with the reward offered by the officials of Mohave county, will be quite an inducement to the officers who are now on the trail of the murderer.
 Blakey and Winchester were killed while travelling from Ashom's s ranch to the San Francisco mine, by Mckinney, who had been in hiding for some time Mckinney believed the men to be officers searching for him, and he thought the best way out of the trouble was to ambush them. They were killed in the most cold blooded manner.
 The last heard of Mckinney he was headed for the Green Horn mountains, California, with several posses on his trail. He has a large number of murders to his credit, and the officers in all the surround ing states and territories are now on the lookout for him. He is known as desperate character and will put up a good fight if cornered.-Gazette April 15.

Last Monday afternoon Mrs. James Bradshaw met with slight accident which might have result ed fatally to herself and baby. She was in Phelan's store and step- ped around behind the counter for some reason. The cellar door hap pened to be raised, and Mrs. Brad shaw, who had her babe in arms, stepped into the opening and was precipitated down the steps, bruis- ing both herself and babe and badly spraining her ankle. It was indeed fortunate that the result was not more serious.

SATURDAY, APRIL IS. 1903

TERRITORIAL AUDITOR w. F. NIGH OLs, aecompanid by his wife, came in Wednesday evening from the south on their way to the Grand Canyon for few days visit. MT Nichols was il pleasant caller at the NEWS office during his stay here Thursday morning. In speak ing of the passage of the "COwan bill," he said it was certainly wise move-from monetary stand l oint to the territory-and the eff fleets are already being seen. MT. Nichols informs us that from March IS, the time the bill went into eff feet. to April 1, the receipts from articles of incorporation amounted to just $1,00O, and that mp to this time would average up at the rate of $2 500 per month. Thus it will be seen that things were not mis- represented by the press of the ter ritory when it was stated that the receipts from this source amounted to from $3O,OOO to $5O,O0O per year. Auditor Nichols says he has two clerks engaged in his office for look ing after this work, so it is an easy matter to figure up what the profits are to the territory. It was claimed by some that when the change was made the business would drop off. With regard to this MT. Nichols says that the law taking from the secretary the right to act as agent for outside companies, has already had tendency to increase the vol ume of business in this department, as numberous firms have opened offices and are hustling all the business they can in this line, and there is rather a possibility of an increase than decrease.

ONE of our well-known citizens suggests that a new industry might be started here if given little pub licity. He believes a woolen mill could be profitably conducted here, especially as this is wool country. In this way he figures that the goods could be manufactured on the ground, saving freight charges on raw material to the mills at dis tant points. Think 1t over.

TEDDY'S HAND
Committee Decides President Roosevelt
Stay in Spokane Will Be Too Brief
for Such Demonstration.

The committee chosen by Senator
Turner to arrange for the reception
of President Roosevelt assembled at
1880 o'clock this morning in the
rooms of the chamber of commerce.
Only general outline of the program
to be followed was suggested, as the
committee is not yet in a position to
make any definite arrangements.
1t was practically decided that the
main procession will start from Riv-
ersiae avenue and Monroe street and
proceed along Riverside avenue to the
Northern Pacific depot, where a stand
will be constructed in the vacant lot
in front OF the depot. from which the
president will deliver an address.
In order that he may become more
deeply impressed with the beauty of
the surrounding country, 1t was
deemed advisable that. instead of
doubling back to Tekoa from Spo-
kane to reach the Occur d'Alene coun-
try, the president be asked, through
Senator Hepburn of Idaho, to change
his course in favor of the Occur
d. Alene lake route. 1t is believed
that he will enjoy that trip, as the
scenery is equal to anything in the
country. The committee will wire
Senator Hepburn at once on this sug-
gestion.
A communication will also be sent
to Washington inquiring as to Mr..
Roosevelt's pleasure in taking break
fast at the residence of Senator
Turner. Should he feel inclined to

At the meeting to be held next
