THE ARIZONA STRIP
 COVETED BY UTAH
Cong 'eSsman Howell Tells What is
 to be Done With It.

When a few days ago Congressman
 Howell, of Utah, introduced his bill
 for the annexation of that part of Ari-
 Zona lying across the Grand Canyon
 to Utah very little interest was felt
 in this territory. Utah had for so long
 been introducing bills of this character that the business had become routine. 1t had become as formal a proceeding as the swearing in of the congressman from that state. But Congressman Howell is evidently sin earnest about il. He had an article in a recent num- Der of the Desert News descriptive of the strip" and of what Utah would do with it after it has acquired it. Mir. Howell said, among other things:
 Tt is perhaps superfluous to say that this strip" is that rart of Ari- zona adjoining Utah and separated from the balance of that territory by the immense chasm of the Colorado river. In area it is somewhere nearly equal to San Juan county in our state. In character it is not different from the country around St. George and is to say, in going south there are the same pink sandstone cliffs, the same sage brush prairies, the excessive dryness. The extreme south-that portion abutting on the Grand Canyon-is a lofty plateau, lensely wooded and known locally as Buckskin mountain, and in the geo. logical books as Kaihab plateau. This Bucksllin mountain is thirty or forty miles wide and fifty long, and is at present included in a government for est reserve. This is by far the most part of the strip.
 There is every reason apparently why this strip should be annexed to Utah; but greatest of all is the geo. graphical reason. The Grand Canyon If the Colorado is an all but impassa- )le barrier between the people of the | strip" and the balance of the popula- l ion, while there is nothing but an i'm !

she showed such unmistakable signs that I resolved to see for myself what this ghost might be. I said nothing to her of my purpose, for knew 1t would not improve matters any for her to think I was disturbed. The next night I had attended dinner at the club and did not get in until midnight or perhaps an hour later. as one Is apt to do after club dinners. Probably I had taken more wine than usual In any event I felt brave enough to meet any ghost that walked, and I went into my den to wait for it, if this should be it's night to visit the haunts of men. I waited so long that I dozed. and. waking with a start, heard tho well known footsteps. This time they were going down the hall in t'le direction had pursued them the first night had heard them.
 Gathering my wits as quickly as could I went into the hall, and in the light, so dim that only the merest out lines were visible, I saw a tall figure in a misty gray wrap of the olden times. started after 1t, but before I had taken a half a dozen steps 1t stopped, turned and waved me back warningly. As have said, am not a brave man and I came no nearer, Slowly the ghost turned again and in its stately fashion passed on to the end of the hall.
 Instead of following it. I hurried to Margaret's room. She was awake and very nervous. I told her I had seen the ghost. She laughed and said had been having too much wine, and 1t would be better for me to go to bed and let the ghost pursue the even tenor of its way. But I was brave now, seeing that she was safe and inclined to tease me. and I left her. notwith- standing she pleaded with me not to go, and went back down the hall. Only a very short time had elapsed since I had seen the ghost, and when I got to the door leading out to the balcony I found 1t was open. ran to the front of the balcony and in the yard below I saw the figure of a man crouched in the shadow. Tn the alley just beyond were two policemen called to them to catch the burglar and as I dashed back into the hall to go out the back way, I met Margaret at the door of the balcony.
 GO back to your room" I exclaimed The ghost is a burglar" and hur- ried on down stairs. As I went heard several pistol shots. When reached the alley the two officers were standing over a man lying on the ground.
 He's done for said one, but he
 
 "who is lt2" I asked, mortified al the tragedy before me. and turning away so as not to see the dead man.
 Why" replied one of the officers proudly its that Tom Brent that run away. We only heard yesterday that he was In town and while we were spotting him he slipped in here to dc a robbery. I guess. Anyhow, he wont do any more soon."
 I could scarcely walk, but I managed somehow to get back into the house and to Margarets room. She was not there, and I staggered out to the rear balcony. l found her lying on the floor unconscious.
 The newspapers told only of the burglar caught In the act. They did not know what I knew; what Mar garet knew. Very soon afterwards we went abroad and there our paths sepa- rated forever. She died A year later leaving all her property to me as "an atonement," according to the wording of her will.

CROPPING IN THE DARK.
st. Petersburg Knows Little Of the
Fate of Kuropatlxin's Beaten
Army.
(By the Assoeiated Press.l


st. Petersburg, March 10.-3:05 a.
M Friday Petersburg this
morning knows little more of the out
come of the battle at Mukden than 1t
knew Wednesday night, and little
more of the fate of General Kuro-
| patkin's beaten army. 1t is not even
known whether the railroad has been
| cut and communications destroyed
| though it is believed that the report
ed destruction of the line by General
Okus army refers to the damage in
| hicted on Wednesday, which was not
serious, though traffic was twice in
terrupted. 1t is evident, however
that the Japanese are pressing closer
this indispensable line Of retreat.
Their shells occasionally cut the wires
of the telegraph lines paralleling the
railroad and civilian linemen are dis
playing no less bravery than their.
soldier associates by climbing the
poles and replacing the wires under
fire.
The most important news received
from Russian sources is the Associated
Press information that the Japanese
already have reached the Hun River.
Flu Pass is only twelve miles east of
Mukden and well westward of Gen
eral Linevitchs line of retreat.
Whether the extreme Russian left has
already succeeded in retiring behind
the Hun River and moving down the
north bank of that stream to join
hands with General Kuropatkin's
main force is not stated; but it is ex-
tremely probable that unless the Rus
SLAMS are able to descend the crossing
at Flu Pass. General Rennenkampff's
corps and perhaps additional forces
will be cut OFF and have to shift for
themselves in the mountainous region
of Fushun, against expeditionary
forces of Japanese. which are report
ed from Chinese sources to be racing
toward Tie Pass. The censor allows
no word to pass, but it was stated
here yesterday that General Kuropat-
kin had been for some time assem-
bling force of reserves at Tie Pass
and Hardin with this eventuality in
view. to defend the pass and positions
until he can make or fight his way
back.
