THE FALL OF PORT ARTHUR.
Pains Magnificent Pyrotechnic Drama al
Minnesota State Fair.

Lovers of sensational, startling real
istic effects in their amusements
will have no cause to complain of the
lack of these features in the representa-
ton in the naval battle and lombard
ment OF Port Arthur, as illustrated in
the big Pain pyrotechnic spectacle of
that name, which will be seen each
evening at the Minnesota State Fair
this year. Nearly four hundred people
participated in these stirring scenes of
mimic warfare. In the naval battle a
number of huge Japanese and Russian
warships will be shown in violent ac-
ton, during which big Russian man
of-war is blown up and sunk by a
japanese torpedo boat In the bonn
bardment of the city and Sun Hill
Fort there is a desperate crossfire be-
tween the land and naval forces on
both sides; bridges and Notifications
are blown up, and buildings are shat
tered by exploding mines and real
shells. During this scene the Imperial
japanese guards, direct from Toxic,
probably the best drilled and foremost
opponents of high-Wall scaling in the
land of the Mikado, will add touch
of realism to the scenes by an exhiLi-
ton of their marvellous exploits in this
line. The climax of this thrilling
scene shows the triumphant entry of
the Japanese troops into the long-be-
seiged city.
This great spectacle will be seen at
the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 40.

there is destined to be on the

commercial wealth that it will

SEAS BROUGHT HOME
Unworthy Former Under-Sheriff Of
 Yavapai County

Sheriff Lowry of Yavapai county arrived from Texas yesterday morn ing with James Sias, the abscond- ing under-sheriff of Joe Roberts, the predecessor in office of Sheriff Lowry. The sheriff was gone from Phoenix just twelve hours less than a week. says the Republican of June 19.
 Sias fled from Prescott last July. A few days after his departure it was discovered that he had taken at least 5000. Other shortages were afterward discovered, but the total amount of them is not known. It is supposed that his stealings altogether amounted to between $2OOO and $3OO0.
 About three weeks ago it WAS re- ported to Sheriff Lowry that a young man who had known Sias when he was living in Yavapai county had seen him lately at Hum ble. Texas, where he was going un- der the name of Forrest, and that he was engaged in contracting.
 Negotiations were opened with the Texas authorities resulting in the confirmation of the fact that Forrest was Sias. About this time Sias' wife, who had been supported by the county of Yavapai, received some money from an unknown source and left Prescott. It was surmised that she had gone to join her husband. That was not mate rial, however, to the office of the sheriff.
 When the sheriff arrived in Texas he was armed with requisition. It was we'll he was so heeled for Sias was disposed to resist a return to ArlZona. He even sought to evade the journey by writ of habeas corpus, in which the form of the papers was attacked. They were held to be regular, however, and the writ was dismissed. The pro- ceeding cost Sheriff Lowry one day As had been surmised, Sias' wife was with him.
 The prisoner had nothing to say on his arrival in the city. He was put below with the other prisoners He was not even given the consid. eration of being allowed to occupy the woman's cell. It is not likely that he will be pampered a great deal at Prescott.

UNITED STATES MARSHALSHIP
Col. McCord Speaks of the Ap-
 pointment of Daniels

United States Marshal McCord, when seen regarding the appoint ment of his successor, Superintend- ent Daniels of the territorial prison, said that he had expected the ap- pointment of MT. Daniels earlier. But about a month ago he received letter from President Roosevelt saying that it was his wish that Col. McCord should serve out his full four years term. He also added that he was desirous of then appointing MT. Daniels. There was no request for a resignation, but Col. McCord at once forwarded one with the suggestion that by reason of the fact that the end of the quar- ter and the end of the fiscal year would fall on June 30, it would be better for the office and also for MT. Daniels if the appointment should be made effective on July 1. The suggestion was accepted. Col. Nc Cords term expired June 19.
 Col. McCord said he was in no way disgruntled; the president had treated him very fairly in permit ting him to continue his term. It was but natural he said that the president should desire to make a place for personal friend and comrade. The colonel's relations with the department had always been of the most pleasant character and he would look back upon his service in the position of United States marshal with pleasure.
 He was asked if Mir. Daniels would probably make sweeping changes in the office. He replied that he had no means of knowing, but he would surmise that for a time at least there would be no changes. Chief Deputy Welles has been in his position so long and through so many administrations that he is more thoroughly familiar with the -perplexing routine than another man could become in years.
 The force of deputies is an ex- cellent one. Charles Utting and Dave Hughes are not only good men. but they are personal friends of MT. Daniels, having served with him in the Spanish war. F. w. Hill has been very energetic deputy and is we'll known to the incoming United States marshal.

Word reached here about noon last Saturday that the Harvey House at Ash Fork was being de- molished by flames. The building was a large two-story structure, containing beside the dining room and kitchens, a large office room and lunch counter. The second story was devoted to hotel or lodg- ing purposes. The house was the largest between Los Angeles and the coast and was of much import ance because of being located at the juncture of the north and south road. The large water tank at the east end of the building was also destroyed.
