CUT RATE WAR ON LUMBER IS
 NOW ON.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Now is the time to buy lumber if you want to get it at bedrock rate, for there IS a lumber war on among the dealers, and on some varieties, it is re- ported that there has been q drop oe s thousand, since the opening day of the week.
 It has been a well known fact that ther has been an agreement among the dealers to maintain a certain schedule of prices for the protection of their interests, or rather to in- sure for each living profit oh their sales, as they explain.
 But now things are different and a cut-rate war is on, due to the fact that one of the dealers IS alleged to have been shading the established prices. This is the way the matter was brought to a focus:
 ''It has been brought to our notice that you have been cutting prices on lumber in the past two or three weeks, y said a member of the Inducements as- sociation of this city to a fellow mer- chant, as he aecosted him few ev- enings ago in company with another business man engaged in the trade.
 ''I don't know that I have. Where did you get the information7" was the reply.
 1T have the evidence in my posses sion" was the retort of the first speaker.
 At a conference of the lumber deal CTS which was held later it developed that one of their number suspecting that some of the others were cutting prices, had employed an old time busi. ness associate who was on a visit with him from Missouri and a stranger in these parts, to submit a lumber bill to the others for an estimate or proposed rooming house to be built in this city. The estimate as submit ted by one of the dealers, and by the way which was produced, was found to be far below the prices agreed upon by the association. The estimate was signed and could not be denied. The conference adjourned without reaching any agreement as to prices in future Another meeting will be arranged as soon as one of the dealers recOvers from sick spell, at which it IS ex pected that all disagreements will be adjusted.
 In the meantime all the dealers are doing business on their own bottom and without any respect to any agreement that has hitherto existed be tween them. Cuts in prices can only be learned by the submission of bills for entries at the different lumber of fees.

EXPLORING PARTY MAY HAVE
 BEEN MURDERED.
(From Fridays Daily.)

There are now indications that the exploring party headed by Thomas Grindell may have been murdered by their guide III the desert country in Sonora. Mir. E. P. Grindell, of Tue son, who is searching for his missing brother and his three companions, was in Nogales yesterday, says the Oasis. He had been to Altar, where, through the efforts of Antonio Ramirez, presi- dente of the municipality, he succeeded in finding the Papago Indian gulde who left that place with the party last June and later returned without them. The guide told of leaving the party on the coast. He said they found the four hands, mentioned by the Mexi- can cowboy some weeks ago, before he left the party. He also told Grinnell that the missing party intend ed to go to the Escalantes ranch, about thirty-fve miles from the coast, where he left them. He said they had camp ed one night at a place where there was no water, and had turned the horses loose. The horses scattered, and two of the men with himself, went to find them. The entire day was spent in hunting for the animals. He then left the party, and returned to Ca borca. He offered to take Grinnell to the place where he left them, telling him the country was dry and sandy, and they could find tracks that had been made six months before. Grin dell agreed to take the trail with the Indian, but the night before they were | to depart, Arturo Furken of Caborca aceosted Grindell, and told him the man he was to start out with was of shady reputation, and offered to accom- pany them. When the Indian was | told that MT. Furken would be one of | the party he demurred and did not want to go. Later he agreed to go if he could take two of his brothers with him. He was told that his bro- thers could go along. Net morning there was no Indian guide to be found. He had secured a fresh horse during the night and fled the country. His flight has caused Grindell to believe that the man let the horses of the missing party scatter, and while the men were separated hunting for them that the guide murdered them one at a time He also believes that had he gone alone with the guide as he had in, tended to, he would never have return. ed
 i Wednesday Grinlell was at Hermosil To, and told his story to Governor Ysa bel The governor said they would have to get that guide, and assured Grindell that he would get him.
 This morning Grindell left for Tue son, where he will remain a few days while the Mexican authorities are seek ing the guide. If they do not find the Papago he will go back to Sonora and employ men to assist him in tho search.

BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE SILL
 YER BELL ASSASSINS.
Rrom Fridav,s DailYl

Sheriff Nabor Pacheco returned last evening from Silver Bell, where he has been since last Tuesday, says the Tucson Citizen. He brought with him Meregildo Rodriguez, who is suspected of being one of the trio who murdered Dave Hawkins and Jim White.
 The sheriff will return to Silver Bell at once, and will remain there for sev- eral days. The officers realize they are up against a tough proposition in attempting to capture the murderers, but they have hopes of ultimately sue ceeding.
 In addition to the Mexican who is in jail here, another is held at Silver Bell under a suspicious charge. His name is Manuel Para.
 Both the Mexicans were arrested by Sheriff Pacheco as they were about to board a train to leave Silver Bell. Since their arrest neither has had a word to say. They have not asked why they were arrested nor have they uttered a single word which would in dieate that they even know that a murder had been committed in Silver Bell.
 Sheriff Paeheco is firmly of the be- lief that the murderers never left Sil- yer Bell. Together with a posse he secured the country about Silver Bell for miles and found not trace of the fugitives.
 What makes the task of finding the murderers so difficult is the meagre description the officers have of the men. The murderers have been but vaguely described, and the lips of the only men who could positively identi- fy them are sealed forever.
 It was found by the officers that the tall Mexcan with the white shirt, who was supposed to have done the shooting, was not implicated in the af fair This man. who was the one who had been discharged from the mines, proved an alibi, bringing wit nesses who testified to his whereabouts from sundown Monday until a. m. Tuesday.
 Without a doubt, with the large Mex ican population in Silver Bell there are number who know who did the killing. The chief hope of capturing the murderers and proving their guilt lies in the slip of the tongue of some one who is acquainted with the real facts.
 It is no exaggeration to say that Silver Bell is at the present time one of the toughest places in the territory Strange characters are arriving there daily, and among them are men who are despeadoes of the worst order.
 Rodriguez and Para are suspected of knowledge of the crime, as they were in a saloon but few minutes before the murder. The four Ameri- cans were also in the saloon.
 The Mexicans pawned watch for bottle of whisky and four bottles of beer and left the saloon. Shortly after the Americans left.
 These facts. coupled with the at tempt of the Mexicans to steal away from Silver Bell, shows plainly that the suspicious of the officers are not without good foundation.

When rhere Is No Hope.

Here are a few simple rules by
which a man may determine wheth-
er OF not his attentions to a girl are
in vain.
If she asks him for the fan which
he has been carrying home from the
theater, she isn't in love with him.
If she were, she would forget the
fan and give him a chance to call
and return it.
If she fondles the flowers he gives
her, she is interested. If she lets
them wither in the box, his case is
hopeless.
If she often pleads a headache and
cant see him" he would better call
elsewhere.
When she yawns and says she
cant think Of anything to say" it
is time for him to go away and stay
away.
When she forgets to ask him to
come again and says "How do you
do?" when he says "Goodby" and
neglects to make up an excuse for
him when he jams his umbrella
through her fathers hat there is no
hope for him.

NAMING RACE HORSES.
Many Turf Performers Called After
People In Every Walk Of Life.

NNEAN w 1NNA WAN u LNNNs
From statistics compiled here is
CLEANED the interesting fact that
many great turf performers have
been oddly named for people in ev-
cry walk of life. The best horse ever
named for a policeman was Inspect
or b., a very brilliant race horse and
famed in the stallion ranks as the
sire of Endurance by Right. He
was named as compliment to
Thomas Byrnes, who was then in
spector Of police in New York. The
best horse ever named for a govern
OF was Luke Blackburn, and Senator
Bland was the best horse ever named
for a United States senator. Hugh
Penny won more races than any
horse ever named for a Jockey. The
mighty Domino, the largest winning
horse in American turf history, re-
ceived his name from his color, be-
ing a black horse, and, as a con-
sequence, was so called for the
masquerade costume instead Of the
popular game, as many supposed.
Daily American and Enquirer were
the best horses ever named for news
papers, and David Garrick was the
most brilliant race horse that ever
bore the name Of an actor. Butter
flies, the Futurity winner of 1894,
was the best performer ever named
for a play in this country, and
Drake Carter was the most sensa-
tional horse ever named for a doc
tor. Iroquois, the only American
bred winner Of the English Derby
and st. Leger, stands as the greatest
performer ever named for an Indian
chief, and Boston was by long odds
the best horse ever named for a gam,
of cards.
Lexington was the greatest horse
ever named for a city or town anC
/ Kentucky the best horse named fol
state. George Kinney and Jo,
Cotton were the two best horses eve.
named for men in the sporting class
and the noted Cleophus was the bes
mare ever given a name in honor o
nun. Senator J. c. S. Blackburn

ART AND AN ALDERMAN.
A Criticism That Took Sculptor
Freneh's Breath Away.


A story is told of an Allegheny al
derman named McElroy who won a
place in the hall of fame by reason
of a criticism that for the moment
rendered Daniel G. French, the
sculptor, speechless.
When Andrew Carnegie announc-
ed that he would present a statue of
Colonel William b. Anderson, the
first ironmaster of Pittsburg, to the
city Of Allegheny Daniel c. French
was given the commission.
The statue was duly finished, and
a committee of aldermen came to
New York to inspect and decide
whether it was satisfactory, Mr.. Car
negie's stipulation being that the
finished work of art be subject to
the approval of the city council. 1t
is an extraordinarily beautiful work,
representing a brawny blacksmith
seated on his anvil with a great maui
resting on one knee and a book on
the other. Mr.. French's idea was
to symbolic the workman who used
both brawn and brain. The black
smith was resting between the heats
of his forge and employed the in
terval reading.
Five members of the company
were unanimous IN praise, one NOV
ing at once that the statue be ac
cepted in behalf of the city.
Then the critical Mr.. McElroy
| jumped to his feet and said:
"There is one point / want clear
/ ed. ] notice this blacksmith has NJ
shirt on. l never saw a blacksmith
in my life who did not wear a shirt
/ If he didn't wear a shirt the spark
would fly and burn him when h'
strikes the hot iron"
The sculptor was speechless. Thi
was a class of criticism to which HI
had no reply ready.
But another member Of the com
mittee saved the day-and tn,
statue-to posterity. He explaine,
that the blacksmith had probabl.
removed the shirt to cool off Will
reading.
The sculptor breathed again. H
permitted the committee to believ
that was his purpose in showing tn
wonderful physical development o
the man of brain and muscle.
The statue was then accepted, an
