MExIcANs AND TARANTULA
JUICE.
As Result Three Men Are in Jail and
Another Painfully Injured.

In the words of the advance agent
there was something doing every
minute in Mesa from 1880 Saturday
night until l o'clock yesterday morning
and other precincts to hear from.
AS a result of the disturbance Luz
ciano C0rdero, Demero Perez and An
tonic Badilla are in Jail and Pedro
Luna lies painfully injured with a but
the hole through his leg just above
the knee.
The fracas started In front of the
Fashion saloon about 10 o'clock whel
Cordeo a bad hombre who has been
employed on the section gang wanted
10 whip someone mighty and he was
not a great while in finding some one
to accommodate him. While the men
were perlayering. Marshal Burton who
had been notified stealthily crept up on
the quarreling bunch and arrested Cor
dec. Another section man named
Perez, interfered with the arrest but
was promptly knocked down by tn
officer and the march started to tho
jail with COrdeo as the chief attrac-
ton. The prisoner, who is quite a
husky Mexican was mad enough TO
strike at his mother two hundred miles
away and when placed in the cell Il
was necessary for him to be chained
fast 10 the floor. Perez, the man who
had interfered with the officer was
taken away from the scene of the con-
flict as soon as possible. but he was
too full of tarantula stimulants to lis
ten to the advice OF his chaperone and

bunk house he went in and came out
with gun loaded to the muzzle with
live cartridges. II was not long until
he had the residents near the Santa
Fe depot thinking that a regiment was
out practicing with rapid fire guns
but Perez was not satisfied with the
noise of his own gun. so he walked I'm
the bunk house and took a few shots
at the sleeping form Of Pedro Luna.
He amused himself in this way for
few minutes but presently one OF the
shots took effect in Luna's left leg.
ard an officer was notified and the
bad man was taken to jail. DIR. BracG
was summoned and administered To
the injured man who is resting consid-
erably better at the present time ami

DIRTY IRISH TRICK.

Yesterday afternoon while the sun
was shining brightest a cattle man who
occasionally drops into Mesa. saw
couple Of the towns fairest maidens
and henceforth proceeded to suggest Il
buggy ride. The young ladies. how
ever, not being particularly struck
with the mans forward manner de-
cided to play a trick. which fortunately
for them is not punishable by a city
ordinance. They agreed that If the
man in question would get them a rig
for the afternoon they would come
around later in the evening when they
all three would go out for a spin. No
sooner had the proposition been made
than it was accepted and the rig Sc
cured. After the afternoon had been
spent in driving one of the girls Sc
cured the assistance of a boy friend
and dressed him in some OF her clothes.
The boy took the place of the other
girl. The three had been together but
a short time when the girl suddenl"
remembered that she had a date this
left the man and the boy together in
the moonlight all alone. The boy talked
in his mildest whispers and it was not
long until he felt an arm steal around
his waist. The mans tongue had just
begun to Toll out like a May calf dying
Of thirst when he put his hand owe"
on the little fingers in the boy-girl':
lap. He became suspicious and asked
the girl If her hands were not a littlr
rough. Yes, sir" exclaimed the boy
aloud. but what can you expect /
have been milking COWS most all my
life The secret was out and the man
was mad. He wanted it kept quiet
and in fact it was for nearly ten min
utes.

HOME FROM MEXICO.
G. S. johnson Returned Yesterday AZ
ter a Moths Absence.

G. S. Johnson returned TO Tempe
yesterday, after an absence Of two
months and a half and relates many
experiences Of what he says is one Of
the most interesting trips a white man
ever took. He spent nearly all the
time OF his absence in the interior Of
Mexico and had a few thrilling mo-
ments
He went direct from here 10 Cananea
Mexico. and was Joined there by a man
named Bigler, who accompanied him
on the trip. They Outfitted there. and
taking a couple Of saddle mules ana
several pack animals. set out in search
of lost mine that Mr.. Johnson has
had in mind for good many years.
and has for a long time been trying 10
take the time to go on an extended
search for.
He did not expect to be absent more
than three weeks or a month at the
most. but after once getting started.
the two disliked to return until they
had accomplished something worth
while. Time went faster than they rea-
liked and when they finally got back
to Cananea they had been away two
months instead of three weeks.
AS to what they found there, Mr..
johnson has not a great deal to say.
He admits that they did not find the
mine they were looking for, but it was
not thei- fault. They got within "a
near as two miles Of il. but for good
and sufficient reasons did not venture
further. They were told when that
section of the country by the very few
people that they saw, that a band of
renegade Apaches had been holding
and working the mine for many years.
They were dangerous customers, so Mr..
Johnson and Bigler were told, and they
were advised to beware OF them. Not
having any desire 10 have their scalp
locks adorn some brave. they took heed
of the warning and when within few
miles OF their objective. saw good EVIL
dence Of Indian signs I'm large number.
The smoke Of the fires could be plainly
seen and the two mine hunters gave
1t up as a bad job, and turned back.
Mr.. johnson says that the country is
perfect in many respects and he knows
of no better place TO spend a vacation
than right there. There is fine timber
and plenty Of game. Wild turkey and
deer are plentiful. At one time on the
trip they ran out Of grub and for three
days had nothing TO eat but venson.
AS a steady diet, says Mr.. Johnson. il

Of it except by the way they went in.
and they had no intention Of getting
and eventually found a way out. The
supposed location Of the mine is be-
tween ChWcupa and Nacori and they
passed through both these places on the
trip.
While the main mission of the trip
was unsuccessful, Mr.. Johnson says he
is pleased and satisfied for he found
Cher propects that give promise Of
being equally as rich and valuable as
the mine they were in search of. ana
he hopes at some later date to take an
other trip in that locality and make
