CONTRACTORS AGENT
 SAVED FORTY DOLLARS
His Conviction at Prescott Yesterday
 for a Seven Year Old Crime.

Johnson Wilcox or Thomas Jeffcr-
 has been pursuing for the last seven years for personating an officer of the post office department, was convicted at Prescott yesterday. Assistant Unit . ed States Attorney Walter Kibbey, wno had been assisting Captain Alex ander in the prosecution of Wilcox arrived in the city yesterday morning, having left Prescott soon after the case went to the jury. In the after noon he received a telegram from Prescott informing him of the convic- tion.
 This is a case of more than ordinary interest. Some time prior to 1898 the firm of Angland & Co., of Virginia had obtained various star route con tracts in the west, one of them being from Simmons, in Yavapai county to Kymo, in the same county The con- tractors took the route for $160 a year. They were afterward unable to sublet it for more than $260. Wilcox, who had been in the employ of the com pany for several years, was sent out to see what he could do about making better terms for the contractors.
 He went to Kymo and represented that he was a post-office inspector, saying that he had been in the civil service from childhood. He said his business in the west was to inspect the various star routes, and that in the course of his inspection he had found it necessary to abandon many of them

AMONG THE NAVAJOS
 AN AGENTS CAPTURE
Deputy U. 5. Marshal Gregory Des.
 cribes Fort Defiance Affair.

Walter Gregory, deputy United States marshal, returned home yester- day morning from. a trip Of two or three weeks that took him all over northern Arizona. He had various missions in various places and on one of them he found himself in the midst of an incident that looked very slike the days of old when there really was a frontier line in Arizona. This incl dent has been referred to briefly in the northern papers and some of them coupled MT. Gregory's name with the story in an official capacity. He had nothing to do with it, however, except that he was there and saw what was going on.
 It was the case of the trouble on the Navajo reservation between the agent at Fort Defiance, R. Perry, and number of recalcitrant braves Agent Perry had occasion to visit an outly- ing Indian settlement and when he got there number of the redskins took him prisoner, holding him captive for short time. MT. Perry never flinched, proceeding to explain to his captors that While they had him temporarily 1t was only for a short time and that whatever they might do to him would avail them little for In the end they would have the whole government to resist, a fact the older heads appreci- ated very fully. His talk went and they liberated him, thinking they had better patch the thing up before it went too far. As soon as MT. Perry got back to the agency he wired to Fort Wingate for a troop of cavalry. The soldiers arrived at Fort Defiance the evening before MT. Gregory got there. The troops are now busy round ing up the bad men who will be given such punishment as is deemed will fit their crimes.
 Various newspaper stories were tele-

graphed that gave wrong impressions. though they were fully warranted at the time. Though it did not material iZe there was considerable fear of all outbreak and should one really occur 1t might prove serious for the Maya jos number about 10000 and they might kill somebody before they were subdued. But those who understand the situation say there is no fear of general uprising and the worst that may happen will be individual cases of deviltry by the sMftless and de- signing youths of the tribe. The en- tire tribe is more prosperous now than It has been for years. There are fewer blankets being made than usual for wool is so high many of the Indians have sold the raw wool rather than to manufacture it. They have there fore more money and more provisions than usual and less work to do thar usual and the same old adage about Satan finding Something for idle hands applies to the Indian as well as the paleface. The prevailing weak ness of all Indians is love of fire water. With their prosperity there are more opportunities for securing it and the government has not always been successful in catching and punishing offenders, all of which makes the sit uation more complicated
 MT. Gregory's trip to Fort Defiance was for the arrest of an Indian who wears with pride the very aesthetic name of ROan Horse, the charge be- ing that he had supplied his fellow tribesmen with liquor. He wss ar rested and tried but could not be con- victed. He did not deny that his friends had drunk his whiskey but he claimed that he was not instrumental in giving it to them and was powerless to keep it from them. He had secured whiskey, where he wouldn't disclose, nor how, so there was no action against his accomplice. But having secured what he wanted himself he went to his hogan, filled himself up until he was helpless and probably almost speeches.. There was still a bottleful there when a number of his tribesmen passed that way, and ac- cording to custom, without even being asked, they helped themselves to Roan Horses liquor and joined him in his big drunk. The action against him was dismissed.
 MT. Gregory says that all the moun- tain country in the north is covered with snow.

THE TEA PENALTY. A Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from a busy railroad town the wife of an employe of one of the great roads says:
 My husband is a railroad man who has been so much benefited by the use of Postum Food Coffee that he wishes me to express his thanks to you for the good you have done him. His waking hours are taken up with his work, and he has no time to write himself.
 "He has been a great tea drinker all his life and has always liked 1t strong.
 "Tea has, of late years, acted on him like morphine does upon most people. At first it soothed him, but only for an hour or so, then it began to affect his nerves to such an extent that he could not sleep at night, and he, would go to his work in the morning wretched and miserable from the loss of rest. This condition grew constantly worse, un- til his friends persuaded him some four months ago. to quit tea and use Postum.
 "At first he used Postum only for breakfast, but as he liked the taste of it, and it somehow seemed to do him good, he added it to his evening meal Then, as he grew better he began to drink it for his noon meal, and now he will drink nothing else at table.
 His condition is so wonderfully inn proved during these four months that he could not be hired to give up Pos tum and go back to tea. His nerves have become steady and reliable once more, and his sleep is easy, natural and {, refreshing. He owes all this to Pos l tum for he has taken no medicine and :, made no other change in his diet. His l brother, who was very nervous from 1 coffee drinking, was persuaded by us | to give up the coffee and use Postum and he also, has recovered his health | and strength" Name given by Pos | -um Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

for one reason and another. He said that he had abolished the Hillside post office, and that ne would have to discontinue the Kymo post-office un- less he could make a better arrange ment with regard to the mail carving contract. These misrepresentations resulted in his being able to let the contract for $200. The man who took the contract imagined that he was taking it directly from the government He proceeded to carry it out, but by the time he made his first trip the postmaster at Kymo had found out that Wilcox was an imposter and re- fused to let the new carrier have the mail.
 A search was immediately made for Wilcox, who had disappeared. An in- dictment was found against him dur
 ing the administration of United States Attorney Morrison, and a hunt was made for him by the postal authorities
 He was arrested about year ago and brought back to Prescott and another indictment was found. That was de- fective and on the motion of United
 States Attorney Nave it was dismiss
 ed and another was brought in, on which he has just been tried.
 The question of the statute of limi- | tations was raised with the question whether Wilcox had been fugitive from justice for the last seven years.
 A post office inspector was brought out from Virginia and swore that the | authorities had all that time been en- gagged in a search for him.
 There were many discrepancies in | WillcoX's story of his life since t-le
 commission of the offense charged
 against him. As post-office inspector
 he had been known as Johnson Will cox, though he said his name was
 Thomas Jefferson Wilcox. He eX-
 plained that in this way. He said that
 the firm of Angland & Go. in some of its contracts was associated with a
 man by the name of Johnson, and that
 in signing for the firm he had got into
 the way of signing his name Johnson l Wilcox. But it was shown that he
 used that signature OF other occasions. About the time he was strengthening up the affairs of the Simmons -kymo | star route the movement for a monu-
 ment to Captain William O. O'Neill was instituted and Wilcox was one of
 the earliest subscribers for the fund. ! In that case he signed the name of Johnson Wilcox.
 Wilcox denied that since 1900 he had
 been interested in any way with the firm of Angland & Co, or any other contractors, yet is was proved by a
 post-office inspector that as late as 1903 he was the representative in Mis- sissippi of a firm of contractors. It is not contended by tine govern
 ment that Wilcox made anything out
 of this transaction for himself, or that
 the government was defrauded of any thing. Wilcox had only tried 70 save
 his company $40 a year, and in doing so mad represented himself to be an of- ficer of the government.

SNOW CLAD WATERSHED
The General Condition of Things
 About Roosevelt.


 T. F. Parish, jr., arrived here yes- terday from Roosevelt, where he has been employed by the reclamation ser vice for the last year and a half. He said it showed and drizzled on him all day Monday on the road between Mesa and the dam site. MT. Parish says he thinks there is more snow in the mountains of the Salt River water shed now than there was before the flood. It was showing all day Saturday, Sat urday night, and Sunday in the Ma zatzals, the Sierra Ancnas and in the vicinity of the Four Peaks. In fact, all the mountains that are high enough to precipitate snow are covered now. The repairs on the Roosevelt road. made necessary by the late floods, are now sufficiently far advanced for the re- opening of traffic.
 Mir. Parish says, also, that Contract or O'Rourke is just little bit further behind in his work thar ne was before the flood, for the flood not only de- stroyed all that he had done in the river bed, but took away every pileSand timber that he had in use Tn the chan mel. It ground the old channel cut as smooth as a gun barrel.
 Telepnonic communication was re- stored with Roosevelt yesterday, the line having been down ever since the flood of two weeks ago.

TO SHOOT PIGEONS ILLEGAL.
Supreme Court Upholds Constitutions
ality of Recently Enacted statue.

supreme Court Upholds Constitutton-
ality of Recently Enacted statute.
A victory for the supporters of the
recently enacted statute against the
shooting of pigeons from traps was
won Monday~When the Supreme Court
declared constitutional the law which
had been questioned by members of
the Riverton Gun Club. The matter
had been brought into court on a test
case, it being arranged that one of the
members of the Riyerton Gun Club
should shoot pigeon which had been
released from trap at the clubs
grounds, and that, after his arrest
and punishment by fine for the act,
that the constitutionality of the stat
ute should then be determined.
The test made according to program,
the member who did the shooting ar
rested and fined, and an appeal made
by his counsel to higher court. The
decision entirely upholds the support
ers of the statue in their contention
that the law was constitutional.
The fight in the Legislature which
ended in the anti-pigeon shooting bill
being passed, was one Of the hardest
and longest battles that has ever been
contested before that body by support
ers of and opponents to any bit of pro-
posed legislation. Those in favor Of
the bill rallied to their support the
representatives of various societies for
the prevention Of cruelty to animals,
and the ministers were also called upon
for their help. The sportSmen and
especially the members Of the River
ton Gun Club, which was a powerful
association of trap-shooters, fought
hard to have the bill killed, and. dur
ing one session, succeeded. The ses-
sion of 1904, however, saw the bill
finally passed.
1t is believed that the victory for
the supporters Of the measure will re-
suit in eventually causing the River
ton Gun Club TO disband. UnfaYor-
able legislation in New York and
Pennsylvania, successfully, caused the
spOrtsmen of those States who de-
sired to shoot pigeons to come to New
Jersey, and many Of them became
members of the Riyerton Gun Club.
Now that the last hope of the trap
shooters has been dispelled in this
State, it is believed that the clubs
membership will rapidly dwindle.

The Roosevelt administration has
another brilliant achievement to it's
credit in being Instrumental in bring
ing about peace between Russia and
Japan after the greatest war Of this
generation, and it is an achievement
of which Americans may well be proud.
Probably no other nation on the globe
was in position to offer its service on
this momentous occasion, and it is a
striking illustration of the gain in
prestige of this country in the last de-
cade. AS stated by the !" Wall Street
Journal, ten years ago such thing
would have been impossible. We were
not then a power in the diplomacy of
the world. Washington was not a
world capital. But now, the most inn
portant news of the twentieth century
comes from there, and President Roose-
welt takes the center of the stage in a
great historical drama. This is strik-
ing proof Of our marvellous growth as
a nation in the past two years. We
should congratulate ourselves that our
use of our new and commanding in
tlnence in the world has been for peace.
No other nation but the United States,
and no other ruler except President
Roosevelt, could have interviewed in
this crisis to bring Russia and Japan
together to arrange peace. Ofcourse,
no other Interpretation can be put on
the news from Washington than that
it does mean peace. A meeting of
plenipotentiaries would scarcely have
been called If both sides were not ready
Ito use a commercial phrase to talk
business. )" Naturally, many things
will have to be settled, such as indem-
nifty, the future of Manchuria, the
control of the Manchurian railway and
the like-all difficult questions but
unless we are mistaken, basis of set
Element is already in the minds of both
governments. The appointment of
plonipotentiaries must be properly
taken as evidence that Russia seeks
peace and not delay. There is an adj
mirable opportunity for the Car to
put into practice the principles in
volved in the famous Peace Rescript
which brought the Hague Conference
into being.
