For five days the trooper wander

the thought struck him that If he un-
saddled his horse and turned it loose
1t might find its way back to the fort,
and so notify his friends that he was
lost. He did this, but the faithful an

Birds In Utah Penitentiary.

Murderers' Row at the state peniten.
tiary has been cast into the depths Of
gloom. 1t is all because bird Of bac
omen has taken up an unbidden home
in that quarter, bringing with 1t, as the
prisoners believe, the shadow of death
A few months ago two small black
birds were captured by life prisoners
and given to one of the men in Muir
derers Row. The birds were fed by
the prisoners and became pets. They
spent all their time hopping about the
cells chattering and eating from the
prisoners plates.
For months these birds furnished
amusement and means Of pastime fol

the blackbirds forsook Murderers' Row
1t is said, and made friends with two
burglars who are serving comparative

birds may be seen sitting on the shoul-
ders of the burglars while they are do
ing their work about the prison.
The birds were missed by those or
Murderers' Row, but no significance
was attached to their disappearance
until few days ago, when a mourning
dove flew into that part Of the prison
and perched upon the bars Of the row
There it sat and cooed until the prison
rang with It's dirge. Since then the
bird has remained in the row, and day
and night the ears Of the condemned
men have been greeted by Its dismal
song.
The appearance Of the bird, it is
said, was looked upon by the murder
ers as a sign of evil, and one Of them

when the midday sun thaws the sur
face of the snow and the light frosts
harden the melted crusts to glace Of
ice as dazzlingly bright as the blind

steel. The thaw had crusted over the
trail, and the scout had to keep a very
sharp eye on the way not to lose the
path altogether. Suddenly the mid
day sun developed extraordinary hues.

END OF THE RECOUNT
Robertson Wins, Having a Majority
 of Six

The election contest Of Johnstane vs. Robertson for posse ession of one of the offices of justice of the peace for this precinct ended late yesterday afternoon the recount showing that Robertson had received 1.G41 votes and Johnstone 1.041, a net gain for Robertson Of four Voles.
 The attorney for the contestee moved to throw out the vote of District 8 or the ground that the election had not been held at the place designated by the board of supervisors. The motion was allowed and the contestant lost six votes.
 Compliance with the order of the board in this case was an impossibility. The place designated is a schoOlhouse, and on the day of the election school was in session. The election board ar- cordingly moved the voting place to the nearest house.
 Johnstone gained three votes ar each Cave Creek and Mcdowell precincts, and slight gains Were made by him In two of the city precincts. But all these were offset by gains by Robertson. But for the throwing out of the precinct in District B the result would have been a tie

How It Has.Spread from Home to Home
 in Arizona.

In every part of Phoenix: in the homes of the wealthy, in the humble abode of the man of toll, 'tis now well-known fact-a great truth-that Doan's Kidney Pills have brought more comfort to backache sufferers and cure2 more sick kidneys than any medicine of modern times. Read this:
 Mrs. Ysabel Moreno, of 97 South Main street, Tucson, Arizona, says: '1 suffered more or less with my kidneys for nearly six years. indicated by pain through the arms, shoulders, across the small of the back and down through the lOins. I knew it was of a rheumatic tendency but what to do to stop it was a mystery. During the entire winter of 1902 I was miserable and constant ly on the outlook for some means to check the trouble. Reading advertise cured by using Doan's Kidney Pills in fiuenced me to go to q drug store for a box. I followed up the trea atment by using a second and a third when the annoyance ceased. I gave DOan's Kid ney Pills a thorough test and I know from the results obtained that they can be depended upon.'
