Section Boss Attacked $ When Opening
 A Door
(, Miller Bears a Deep Wound In His
 Forehead

Indians in the southern part of the territory are not all civilized, for ae- eording to the Globe Belt, two dusky warriors on Saturday assaulted c. Mil Ter, a section boss, who lives in an adobe at mile post 70.
 About 10 o'clock he entered the commissary in quest of something he needed, and as he opened the door to come outside he was struck by a rock on the forehead and fell sense- less to the ground. His assailants quickly escaped.
 He must have partially regained con- sciousness before morning because he was noticed by Brakeman George Reardon of the Southbound freight, on Sunday morning lying prone be- fore his cabin facing the track. The wounded mans face was mass of clotted blood, which flowed from a ghastly wound in his forehead. Near by the rock, with which the assault had been made, was found covered with blood and some of the victim s hair.
 He was taken on the train to Saf- ford, where his injuries were promptly attended. It is not believed that the skull was fractured, but ragged hole two inches long was cut in his scalp. When he regained consciousness he told of the occurrence as related above, ana said that he saw two Indians in front of the commissary door just as he was struck, and that was his last conscious memory. He is getting along nicely. and will probably suffer no lasting eff feet from the wound and the night s exposure.

PittSburg Jerome Mine Needs Freight
 Outlet
Manager Cochran Will Confer With County
 Supervisors

Manager Cochran of the Pittsburg- Jerome mine, lying a few miles from Jerome, is expected in Prescott within few days to confer with the county supervisors in the matter of improving the county road to a point nearest the mine, to enable him to have a straight haul for freight from Prescott.
 On account of the lay of the country and the nature of the surface rock along the line of the narrow gauge, it is impracticable to build a road from the line to the mine from any point where freight might be dumped and hauled by team.
 For this reason the mining company is building a private wagon road from the mine to connect with the county road, and wants the county to improve its road to such a point as the mine road may most handily con- meet with it. It is already known that the mining company is willing to advance money for improving the county road where it hopes to connect with it, providing that the supervis- ors will make good such expense at the proper time out of the road fund.
 Manager Cochran is anxious to have the road in shape to commence hauling at the earliest possible moment, and hopes to be able to make arrangements with the supervisors so that the wagon road from Prescott to the mine can be put in use without delay. All freight for the mine will, when the county road is in shape, be hauled from Pres colt direct to the mine by a team.

turns thereto, if any, must be furnish ed upon this application.
 The above is the law on this point and all it's provisions and require ments were carried out by District At torney Ellinwood in preparing for the extradition of Sias upon the com pIaint of ex-Sheriff Roberts. Attorney Hammond yesterday cautioned his client not to make any statement for the public, and as result Sias has furnished no clue to the possible line of defense he will make. It is not impossible that he may attempt to se- cure change of venue, on the ground of general prejudice against him, and that he cannot get fair hearing in this county.
 Attorney Hammond stated last ev- ening to the Journal-Miner that the al- legged shortage is not as large as has been reported, and that it was due to faulty bookkeeping, and there was no deliberate or intentional defalcation.
 Another minor point of general in- terest. should be made plain, as it seems that it is not fully understood. This refers to the fact that Sias in the present case is wholly accountable to Roberts, and that the county has not lost anything or any part of the alleged stolen money. The money claimed by Roberts to have been stolen by Sias was the sheriff s private fund, and was made up of such fees as had been made and collected by his of- flee. The sheriff's returns to the county each quarter were complete, and the legal fight is now one solely be- tween Roberts and Sias.
 Unless bond is secured Sias will like ly remain prisoner in the county jail until the time set for his trial. His wife is now somewhere in Texas, where she went to join her husband. It is not definitely known where she has stopped. It was through her attempt ed return to the prisoner that his whereabouts became known. Those who are best informed believe that if she has the means she will return here to be with her husband during his trial

 A. S. Haskell, of the Haskell-Kir- wagen ranch in the Verde valley, one of the finest pieces of ranch property in this county, is visitor in Prescott.

 In reply to questions as to the Je- rome district and the Verde valley, he emphasized what everyone else re- ports as to the excellent condition of all crops, fruit included. The valley was this year free from frost after bud ding time, and as a result the fruit crop will not only prove big one, but all fruits will be of an exceptionally fine quality.
 'Verde peaehes," said MT. Has kell, twill this year prove even finer than for many seasons past, and there is nothing to prevent the very best re- suits in all other crops" MT. Has, ken expects to return home tomorrow.

CDMITS A SHORTAGE
 BUT TOOK NO COIN
(FrOm Tuesdays Daily.)

Yesterday morning Sheriff Lowry returned to Prescott with James Sias as prisoner, having secured custody of the prisoner in Houston, Texas. Quite crowd of curiously minded residents were at the depot to witness the ar rival of the alleged absconder, and throughout the day the general topic of interest was the return of the ex-de- putty sheriff and the probable outcome of his trial.
 Early in the afternoon Sias was ar raigned before Justice of the Peace Talbot, and with him was Attorney A. l.. Hammond, who has been retained by the defendant.
 The matter was purely for nal, and the prisoner was placed under bond of $1,000, in default of which he was committed to the county jail to await further action. These are briefly all the facts in the case thus far brought out, but there are all sorts of rumors now afioat as to what will be brought out before the trial of Sias shall have been finished.
 A certain few people of Prescott yesterday insisted that Sias had been kidnapped; that extradition could not be made upon a warrant issued from a justices court, but this proved fal- lacy when looked into. The procedure in an extradition case upon justice warrant requires certain more forma- lities than in the case of the wanted man being under indictment by the grand jury, but the statutes provide for one being equally as strong as the other in the event of the law being complied with in every detail.
 Investigation as to this point of law disclosed that this report was with out any basis in fact, and that Sias had been brought from Texas under the same extradition rules as have of ten before been used in this county, where prisoners were brought from far eastern states. Upon this point the ruling procedure is very plain, and says:
 eff an indictment has not been found by grand jury, the facts and circumstances showing the commits sion of the crime charged, and that the accused perpetrated the same, must be shown by affdavits taken before a magistrate, and that a warrant has been issued, and duplicate certified copies of the same, together with re-
