Division of Territory.

"a great deal, Mr.. Pierce, has been said
in this case about the division of terri
tory between the Standard Oil company
of Indiana and the waters-Fderce Oil
company State as briefly as you can
when the territorial operations of the
waters-Pierce OIL company began and to
what territory 1t extended
when I'm 1878 I organized the first
waters-Pierce OIL company its predeces-
sors. Waters. Pierce & Co. and II. c. Pierce
&, Co., had already established business in
all of the territory In which the present
waters-Pierce Oil company now operates
and 1t was agreed and understood between
myself and the representatives of the
Standard Oil company OF Ohio, think-at
least 1t was the only Standard Oil company
that l knew as being in existence at that
time-the first Waters-Pierce company
would confine its operations and transact
its business within the certain territory
in which the Waters Pierce & Co. and
H C. Pierce a Co. had transacted their
business In other words, the Waters
Pierce Oil company organized in 1878 was
to take over the business of Waters. Pierce
& Co. In pursuance to this understanding
certain lines were agreed upon in the state
OF Illinois which comprised parts, I think.
of Madison and st. Clair counties, including
East st. Louis. The line within the state
OF Missouri commenced at point just
south of Hannibal, on the west bank of the
Mississippi river, and run according to
county lines southwest to the western bor-
der of Missouri, bordering upon Kansas a
short distance out of Fort Scott. Also
the state of Arkansas, what is now the
Indian Territory and Oklahoma. the state
of Texas. all of the state Of Louisiana west
of the Mississippi river and the Republic
of Mexico"

ritory since II was then established?"

SOME PASS HOLDERS.

 The pass at old Thermopylae, According to the story, Was held by men of Greece. and much It added to their glory. In modern times the congressman And officeholdlng classes. As resolute as any grand Old Grecian, hold the passes. You know the tale of ancient days. For doubtless you have read it. The way they stuck to that old pass Was greatly to their credit. But now to hang on to a pass We think is simply awful A thing no gentleman would do And very much unlawful. The way they stuck to that old pass Was really quite wonder. For where could one observe in it The smallest bit of plumber? The modern statesman if he had A pass like that would chuck it And kick for one that called for rides Until he kicked the bucket. But while you're talking every one In just about that boat is; There's something strange about a

FIEnG tTTAGKs HELPLESS
 WOMAN
Mrs. Frank Cox Choken and Beaten and Hurled From Bridge-Rewards Totaling $500 For Information,

Tte Tucson Citizen gives the fol lowing additional details of the assault upon Mrs. Frank Cox. committed in that city Saturday evening:
 Rewards amounting to $500 have been offered for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the fend who brutaiiy attacked Mrs. Frank Cox On tGe Congress street bridge Saturday evening, less than a half mile from the center of the busi- ness district.
 The Board of Supervisors have of fered a reward of S250, Sheriff Pa checo has offered a reward o s200, and Marshal J. s. Hopley has added s5o. making the total rFsrd $500.
 From measurements of the fcot- prints 1t is known that the villain wore No. 6 shoes. The soles were very 6roau. His victim says that he wore @ dark suit of clothes with a black slorch hat He was of medium height and powerfully built. It is impossible to tell whether he was black or white. as . handkerchief concealed his features and his hat WAS pulled down closely over his eyes. On the bridge his talk, accord ing to Mrs Cox. sounded Ike a ne gro's. His final words: "Tell them when they come that 1t was Joe" sounded very much like a white mans voice. Mrs. Cox stated.
 Ars- Cox was resting easy today at her home on West Congress- street. sooat 200 yards from the scenes of the attack. Her right eye Is completely closed. che has numerous fingermarks on har neck. and is considerably bruised about the body. Her left arm is broken. This injury was sustain ed when Ars- Cor was hurled from the bridge.
 Ar. and Nrs- Cox. have lived in Tucson for seven years. Mir. Cox is briokiayer. and Is well known. There are four children in the Cox family. ~ fE cu5tts 4 zfr
 Ars- Cox is of medium height and rather heavy set, weighing 1es pounds She is very powerful, and gave the monster wbo attacked her a hard fight until the nend finally seized her and threw her over the bridge raIl- ing. She Is about s years old.
 The attack was one of the most dastardfy that has erer occurred in this section. The 1end in human form after choking and beating Ars. Coz and throwing her half-dazed over tho bridge railing to the bed of the Santa Cruz river. twenty feet below. ran to the end of tho bridge. climbed down the rocks and again attempted his foul purpose. beating Mrs. Cox continually in 8 desperate effort 10 stifIe her screans
 That crime Of such . character should have been attempted on Con sress street so early In the evening is almost beyond belief.
