A Cavefull of Dead Indians

JEFF Adams. n wcll-known cattleman,
rode into Phoenix to-day with q tale most
gruesome. In the Superstition Mountains
he had found cavern. &c by 100 feet in
area. heaped UP with the skeletons OF
about 200 dead Indians, The cavern is
up In the Side OF a precipitous gorge,
reached only by u dangerous trail. In
Phoenix Adams found that ho had re-
discovered the long-lost cave where, IN
December of 1872, the Fifth Cavalry &c.
complished the greatest job OF Indian
killing in the history of tho army. Tho
Indians. Mojaves and Apaches, had fled
to tho cave, pursued by five troops Of
cavalry and n company of Maricopa In
dian scouts.
Tho besiegers had settled down to staryo
the aborigines out. when ono of tho
troopers discovered that by shooting ut
an overhanging rock bullets could he
made to glance into tho cavern. Firing
In this manner was kept up until Tho
Eancing bullets rhad killed or wounded
every Apache within. Then the Maricopas
led the way and finished tho Mooly
job.

Raising Blooded Horses.
One OF the large stock businesses here
is horse raising. saw thousands of
horses feeding on the prairies between
here and Medicine Hat. and passed large
herds on my way north to Edmonton.
The horses are fine looking. The day
OF the broncho and the Bronoho buster
have passed, and tho animlis now breed
ing are handled by the stock men, so
that they are comparatively tame when
ready to break. Nearly all III, best
known horses are represented. There
are Clyder from Scotland. thoroughbred
Shires from England and Percherons

are raising trotting stock, and others
park saddlers for our city markets. Robin

devoted to rearing Clydesdale and Shires

eastern Canada. These horses are in
great demand in the mining regions,
some of them going as far north as
Alaska. Leaving Calgary we drove for
several hours over q rolling prairie cover

hay. 1t is brown on top but green near

opened up over two feet Of lead ore in
the east 125.foot level, which carries val.

sively. Pennsylvanians are operating
the property and are preparing to do q

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Meet and Transact Matters Concerning The
Welfare Of the People.

Regular monthly meeting Of the city
council was held last Thursday evening.
The mayor and all the aldermen with
the exception of Harry Eilmann, Henry
Eilmann and George Maloney, were pres
ent.
Election OF Bart Camille as chief and
Alfred Vincent as assistant chief, of the
fire department, was confirmed.
City Marshal and Street Commissioner
Richards made verbal report on the
condition Of the streets, alleys and fumes
and called attention OF council to the
fact that certain parties were throwing
rubbish in other peoples yards and ask
ed what action should be taken. The
matter was thoroughly discussed by the
body and definite action will be taken at
the next meeting. A suggestion was
made that the city see that ash cans are
made and placed at convenient points in
the residence sections, the expense of
which will be paid equally by the city
and the parties using same, or the prop
erty holders. These are to be emptied
and kept cleaned by the city, which is
to pay for the hauling away of the ashes
and other refuse. This system would en-
able the tenants of houses TO keep the
premises around their residences clean,
and would eliminate the necessity of
their throwing garbage into the streets.
The health officer was instructed to
notify all persons having closets connect
ed with the storm sewers to at once make
connection with the main hume.
City attorney was told to notify the
manager OF the North Star mill to turn

CLOWNS AT THE CIRCUS.

Comedy in the circus is a long way from being
spontaneous. 1t is not only carefully prearranged
but In these days the circus clown must be strictly
up to date. 1t is not sufficient that his costume
should be ridiculous and his physIognomv dtstortoa
His comedy must have element Of travesty IN n
1t must be to n certain extent burlesque on
things in the show or in everyday life.
The Barnum & Bailey clowns Illustrate this fact
There probably forty of them. from nearly all
parts Of the world and during the time they are in
the rings at Madison Square Garden and that ia
probably two-thirds of the time, they keep the
great audience in a merry mood. There are proba-
bly, hundred different clown comedies perne
trated during the performance, and while there ara
some that are more or less conventional and which
can be recognized old friends there are MANY
that are new.
There is. for instance the burlesque przehght be-
tween Nelson and McCovern. In the midst of II n
