Santa Cruz at Tombstone.

To one acquainted in Santa Cruz county, visiting Tombstone this week, it has seemed as though a large part of our population had transferred residence, many hav- ing gone over there as witnesses in the case of o. K. Franklin vs. M. NJ. Trickey, transferred to Cochise county on motion granted for change of venue at the last term of court held here. There were 0. K. Franklin, Harry Smith, Charles Taylor, w. A. O'Connor and Fred Herrera of Nogales; D. G. Chalmers, of La Noria; Henry Harmon and Chester Don- avan, Of Washington Camp; Uncle Johnny Rusher, anu Chris Wil- son, of Mowry; Richard Ear rel, of Harshaw. James Brash Wm T. Powers, Alex Hen- derson, Mir. and Mrs. James Kane, Hayden Prendergass, Val Valenzuela of Patagonia; j. Hand and Patrick II. McCarty, of Elgin and Nj. NJ. Trickev, of Nogales. Mir. F. J. Duffy, who was one of the attorneys in the case, was accompanied by Mrs. Duffy and Mrs. 0. K. Franklin accompanied Mir. Franklin. With the contingent mentioned Santa Cruz county was represented surely; and at almost any time in passing along Allen street one was prone to wonder whether he were in Tombstone or on Morley avenue in Nogales.

SOLE SURVIVOR OF
 THE CRlNDELL PARTY
Reaches Civilization After Subsisting Four Months on Such Scaut Food as the Desert
 Coast Supplies.

Terrible in its details is the story of privations told by Lieuten- ant J. E. Hoffman, the sole sur- viving member Of the ill-fated t5rindell exploring party. Losing first one and then another of his ventnresome comrades on the parched desert; tortured by the pangs of thirst and hunger; hav. ing thrust upon him by incombat- able fate the additional misery of seeing the last of lis companions and friends crazed by his sufferings and finally being compelled by the law of self preservation to abandon to miserable death the friend whom he could not assist.
 More than half dead from his sufferings, with body covered with scars, Hoffman arrived at Guav- mas. His accountof his experiences, as sent to the International Amer ican, was slightly disconnected, as his terrible suffering had affect- ed his mind. With returning strength, however, he is also re- covering his wonted mental clear ness.
 After leaving Caborca, Sonora on the ninth of June, the explorers, Professor I. E. Grindell, Lieuten- ant Hoffman, Olin Rawls and Dave lngham, with the Papago Indian guide, travelled without mishap till they reached Coyote springs. From there they started for the Gulf of California coast. north Of Tiburon island, the ob- iective point.
 The Indian, having agreed to guide them only to the coast. left them at that place and returned to Caborca. After his departure the men continued on down the gulf coast till opposite Tiburon.
 Having no means of crossing over to the island, Grindell, Rawls and lngham attempted to wade across, but after going into the water to their armpits, abandoned the project. Hoffman had remained on shore, distilling sea water to drink.
 They then tried to find Las An imas ranch, which they had been told was inland from that part of the coast. Their supplies getting low, Rawls took two of the burros and started out alone to find the ranch. The others waited two days for his return, after which they, also, left camp and endeav- ored to find the place.
 Hoffman and lngham gave out and Grindell went on. That was

All Souls Day.

Thursday, All Souls Day, was observed by the Mexican popula- tion, scores of them going to the cemetery in the afternoon for the purpose of decorating the graves. Great floral wreaths that had taken days in their preparation were carried to the cemetery and placed upon the graves by friends and relatives. Many beautiful wreaths had been shipped from California. Besides the flowers, half dozen lighted candles on each grave added to the impress siveness of the scene. Prayers were conducted at the cemetery by the Rev. Father Duval, who, be- sides conducting the general cere- mony, also held short services at many of the graves, on request of relatives.

 How often he laid down weaken ed by hunger and fatigue, and thoroughly discouraged, only to rouse himself each time, and with grim determination struggle on through another miserable mile that appeared like ten, he will probably never be able to recall.

the last seen of him--June 2S or 29-though the other two remained there four days, subsistIng on cholIos (cactus). Hoffman and Ingham then started to hunt for water
 The privations encountered told oil Ingham to such an extent that he became mentally unbalanced and attempted to kill Hoffman, and later collapsed physically.
 Hoffman remained him with for a day after his collapse, then driven by hunger and thirst to seek food and water, he resumed his wander ings-alone.
 The only sign of any of his com panions that he encountered after leaving Ingham, was a place where Rawls had eamped after he left the others to seek Las Animas ranch. There he found thecarcass of. one of the burros and saw where his friend had cooked some flour and bacon Rawls, he thinks, per- ished from thirst
 Alone, starving, thirsting and further tortured by the hot desert sun, he made his way back to the coast Following the coast south, subsisting on cactus and such rab- bits and birds as he could kill and even on snails and whatever other eatable creatures or bits of vegeta- tion he could pick up, Hoffman continued his search for some hab- itation.
 At one time, when almost dead from starvation and fatigue, he came upon d large turtle, stunning on the shore. He quickly killed it and after distilling a quantity of sea water, camped near the carcass Of the turtle for several days, till 1t was entirely devoured. The food and rest recuperated him to such an extent that he was able to re- sume his journey comparatively strong
 Another time he was so fortunate as to find a turtles nest with more than hundred eggs. There he repeated the performance enacted where he had previously killed the large turtle. The eggs fed him for several days and again recuperated in strength he resumed his efforts to reach civilization.
 At places along the coast the cliffs rise straight up from the waters edge, and there were times when it was necessary for him to travel many miles inland to get around the rough country. On such occasions he carried with him as much distilled sea wateras he was able to in his weakened condition and always made his way back to the gulf as soon as possible.
 50 he plodded on, day after day, week after week and finally month after month, starving and feasting as chance threw food in his way or left him hungering.
 Finally he encountered party of Mexican fishermen, who Stook hlm in hand and shared their fare with him. They showed him every kindness in their power, till he was h condition to leave their camp and travel to Guaymas. So great were his sufferings that modification had set in on his fingers and the finger nails are falling off as a result.

with its inflated prices; nor do we
want it,; what we anticipate is steady
growth in population and in wealth.

$4,000 of being three millions OF doi-

in 1904 of 1894 ,546.65. The clearlngs

previous, the clearings were lour

we're the guests of honor and delivered
the principal addresses. Carnegie MI
sic Hall was crowded and the exercises
were enjoyed by 4 representative Pitts
burg audience.
President w. \. Frew made a short
opening address and introduced Gen.
A. w. Greedy. Gen. Greely's subject
was Geographical Explorations: Its
Moral and Material Results" He said
the noblest object of geographical re-
search is the extension of civilization
and to spread the beneficial results
gained by the enlightened nations. The
extension of trade routes through GEN.
trail Asia, he said. was the greatest
achievement of modern explorers and
that this feat would do more to ad-
vance the civilization of that country
than centuries of missionary work.
Gen. Greedy then spoke of his voyage
in search of the North Pole.

dress was one of exceptional interest
