Eoa AssAuLTINa sIpa1DaE.
Afidayits Filed ObargiHg W. r. Cobb
With ssn

As the result Of a ysterious ns-
sault at his home Eagle Lake
last October, w. q. ldredge, vice
president and gener manager Of
the Cane Belt railgy, yesterday
appeared before JuaNoe Matthews
and filed an afidayit charging W.
I. Cobb with assault b murder.
Sheriff Anderson aud Detective
Quinn subsequently made the arrest
Of Cobb, but as the grand jury is
now in session in Colorado county
all the papers in the case were made
returnable there.
The case is well remembered
through a reward Of $1,000 offered by
Mr.. Eldredgs at the time for his
supposed assailant, In ascending
the steps of his residence at Eagle
Lake hec charged that some unknown
person had fred charge of buck
shot at him from the street. An
accidental stumble fortunately saved
his life.
In addition to the reward offered
by Mr.. Eldredge Governor Sayers
had offered an additional bounty Of
1900 for the capture Of the assail-
ant. Justice Mathews issued the
warrant asked for by Mr.. Eldredge
yesterday and it is likely that the
grand jury Of Colorado county will
consider the charge against Cobb
during the present term. Houston

THE HERClsM OF MINERS.
Writer Pays Eloquent Tribute to
Workers in Rocky Mountains

Workers in Rocky Mountains.
In Winter in the Rocky Mountains,
Katherine Sumner pays tribute to
the miners of the mountains, From
the article, which appears in the Era
Magazine, we quote:
The hardest and most courageous
OF the human race are the miners who
nhabit the mountainous regions. They
spend their lives delving for the gold
which almost invariably passes from
their rough. toil-stained hands to en-
rich the already rich. They are used
to danger: 1t is a part OF their lives.
A promising claim, half way up the
mountain side. must not be abandoned

but the event itself will stop them. and
then-the end Of all risks for them.

make them remarkable 1t is what

RELICS OF THE INDIANS.
Interesting Discoveries Made in the

Interesting Discoveries Made in the
State of Maine.
A rare treat has been offered Indian
week. The work OF grading in front of
the hotel has been undertaken and the
plows and harrows have unearthed
hundreds of arroWheads. many spear
heads and various crude flint tools.
Tradition has it that the ground being
ground of the Indians who came here
from all sections OF the country many
years ago to secure flint from the
mountains for the purpose of making
arrowheaas. spearheads. tomahawks
and crrde store tools. 1t is also said
that many battle had been fought in
this vicinity and valuable Indian relics
have been discovered here from time
to time by curio hunters. but never be-
fore in this section have as many evi-
denceS been unearthed at one time.
The ground being broken up lies di-
rectly in front OF the Kineo house. 1t is
the high bank which backs the point
known to fishermen as the Pine
Trees 1t is evident that the Indians
in former times camped on this point,
which was then covered with the for
est. and there worked the flint into
definite forms. The ground from six
to eighteen inches beneath the sod is
literally alive with evidences to this
effect. Kennebec .lcurnal

MILLIONS FOR CURE.
Rockefeller Willing to Spend Seven Million Dollars to Secure Con-
 sumption Cure.

A telegram rom Chicago says that John D. Rockefeller will spend S7, . GOO, 600 to find a cure for consump- tion.
 The plnas for the medical depart ment of the University of Chicago. following the annexation of the Rush Medical College, became known to- day. They involve an elaborate scheme for a great research hospital to be erected on the Midway campus. It is known that it is the desire of Rockefeller to find a serum that will cure consumption, and to this end millions will be given to the institu- tion for original research. TT a plans contemplate the immediate C >pendi- ture of s7,OOO. 900 as soon as the Rush Medical College scheme has been worked out.
 Rockefeller made it known to the trustees of the University of Chicago at the recent meeting that he did not care so much for the number of doe tors that the Rush Medical College could put out in the world, as tC bring out men who would go into ori. ginal research to find cures for stub. born diseases, most particularly con sumption. His acceptance of the pro position made by Rush was condi
 tional upon the establishment of 1; i post graduate institution on the uni I versity grounds. This institution
 will be constructed upon the cottag,
 hospital plan. one entire division O
 which will be devoted to the discov ] cry of tuberculosis serum.

JEROME MINE FIRE.
Credit of Pumping in Gas Belongs to
 Mr. GirouX.

Furnaces are still pumping gas into the United Verde mine, with what success is not apparent yet. While on the subject of the mine fire, the Reporter wishes to call attention to an impression that has gone abroad giving Chemist John Herman credit for constructing apparatus to = ate gas to put out the fire. As a matter of fact, the furnaces now in use were made and operated about two B'on-hs before MT. Herman found his way to Jerome. MT. Giroux, Sen ator Clark's superintendent, had the furnaces built and directed the appli- cation of the gas generated by them and so far as we have been able to learn there has been no change made from the first furnace put up. MT. Giroux, too modest to claim what is his due-is certainly the one back of it all. It is not our intention to detract an iota from what is due Chemist Herman, but the good old Mississippi maxim to "tote fair, !" should be observed even in fire fight ng.-Jerome Reporter.
