One day Terrence had cornered Fido,
and in spite of his growls of protest
had tied an unusually large can to his
poor tail. Down the street Fdo tore,
the can hanging and humping along
over the stones. 1t was a hot day and
Fido's little tongue hung out of his
mouth helplessly. Everyone stood and
laughed. But Fido was going mad.
He frothed at the mouth; his eyes
stuck out. People cried, Mad dog"
and at last after many attempts a
policeman shot him. But that night
Terrence Muldoon could not sleep. He
dreamed that he stood at the end Of
long street paved with cobblestones
wondering how far 1t was to the other
end, when he heard a whirring sound
as of wings, behind him., and looking
around, he saw sight that made his
hair stand on end. There, in the air
above him. with ribbon round his
neck and a halo above his head, like
a saint. was Fido, supported on two
gorgeous wings Of snowy white His
eyes were big and starey, and he wore
a most fearful grin. Terrence did not
to his heels and ran. Suddenly he
heard something Gathering on the
stones behind, and turning, he saw
that he had tied to him a huge can.
He saw also that the dog spirit was
flying after him. He thought he heard

Fido made q great swoop down at him.
He yelled Help! help" and woke I'D.
But the other dogs in Terrence's street

him so many times that he had come
to be good-praise helps, you know.
But Fido had one enemy. He made no
enemies himself, but this one happened.
1t was Terrence Muldoon, who lived on
the next street. and who took a special
delight in tying tin cans with strings to

MURDER AT mARicoPA.

Tuesday night about o'clock a man named Refugio Contreras was shot in the back while waiting for a train in Maricopa He was put on board the first train bound for Phoenix, but died while crossing the bridge at Tempe. There were several of the men to- gether in Maricopa, all a little under the influence of liquor, and the death Is a result of a drunken brawl. A man named Gotta, who was in the party, claims that an Indian named Charles Wilson did the shooting. while Wilson claims that Cota fired the shot Shortly after the shooting Contreras told those standing about that he was shot by a Mexican named Francisco Fer nandez. Consequently the authorities are very badly mixed up. Each man wnO was in the party when the shoot ing occurred accuses one O. me others of being guilty of the murder. All three of the accused men were arrested and taken to Florence Judge Burnet. summoned a coroner'5 jury this morn

FOR SEPARATE STATEHOOD.

The Trans-Mississipp Congress, at its recent session in Portland. passed strong resolutions favoring separate statehood for Arizona and New Mexico. These resolutions. coming from this special body of representative com mercial men, covering the entire west from the Mississippi river to the Pa cific ocean. and from the Canadian line to the Gulf of Mexico. is sufficient to show the almost unanimous opposition of the great and growing West to the proposition to make one state out of the two territories of New Mexico and Arizona.
 These men knew what they were talking about and said it in open meet ing. regardless of the views and Opin- ions of the money changers in the great eastern cities. They even dared to fly into the face of the Albuquerque Joint Statehood League and the Albu- querque Journal This took pluck, but they evidently had it. Not being resi- dents of Albuquerque. they had no fear of the league and of the leagues news paper, and hence told their sentiments freely, frankly. fairly, courageousIy and openly; therefore, it is time that the Albuquerque Joint Statehood League and its newspaper satellite at tack these men in every conceivable way, call them all sorts of dirty names, charge them with corruption and graft. and make them out bad citizens on account of their action in adopting these resolutions. Of course, it is certain that the attacks will be of no more consequence than would be a pint of water on the back of a duck, but to be consistent, the Albu- querque Joint Statehood League and the Albuquerque Journal should and must do so anyway, says the New Mexican.

AWAY FROM
 HOME NEWS.

This paper has heard nothing of any uprising of Apache Indians in Arizona. We have not even heard of an Apache renegade in the Territory for more than half a dozen years. yet we find the following in 8 St. Louis exchange:
 Lawton. Okla. Aug. 21.-When the recent article relating to the uprising of the Apaches in Arizona was shown to Geronimo, the Apache warrior ex- pressed in plain terms the disapproval of the actions of his western brethren.
 They should know better" he said If they ever learn the lessons that and my tribe have learned they will never again have a desire to murder or steal I would like to send them word to behave themselves Some day hope to be among them again, and shall hold them down"
 Geronimo is making preparations to participate in the races given during the county fair, the first week in Sep sember He says be has had a gre sentiment that none of the horses en tered are equal to his noted sOrrel foI seed. The old chief will ride his horse in the races.
 Like their willy old chief, the Apaches of Arizona have long since acknowledged the authority of ths pale face. and every year they are making progress in industry and ciyili zation. Their children are in schoo and many of the men are working or the railroads and other industries.
 The only danger from uprising and raids in Arizona today is located fl Phoenix, where lives the Governor, th' provider for the unsuitable appetites o the Maricopa tribe, noted in all In dian tradition and modern history S; being a lazy and shiftless set.
