1adman's Awful Revenge.
A prisoner called Linbomiroif. who
had blown of his own arm while ex-
perimenting with an internal machine.
was q workingman and entirely with
out means or influence. and the ward
ems made no secret of their dislike Of
him and treated him with the greatest
cruelty. They would deprive him Of
food. or beat and kick him for failing
to have his cell in order within the
regulation time, q thing which for him
in his one-armed condition, we'll nigh
impossible.
This man finally lost his reason. and.
with the ingenuity of a mailman.
planned q terrible vengeance. He
made a rope by twisting up strips of
his sheets and smeared it with dust
and dirt so as to make 1t invisible in
the darkness. This rope he tied across
the doorway of his cell some inches
above the ground. When the warden.
who was his special enemy appeared
next day, Linbomirof made a gesture
as If to strike him.
The warden rushed at him. tripped
the rope, and, receiving a ire
mend0us blow from the prisoner. fell
The wretched mailman set
him. unconscious as he was. dug
his nails into the warden's eyes. cut of
his fingers. and after setting his hair
flung him into the corridor.

While, a a general rule. six months
in the prison saps a mans strength to
such an extent that he is incapable of

as of a peaceful disposition. in a sud-

SUPERVISOR SMITH
 CHALLENGES GIBBES
He De6es The City Attorney of Jerome
 To Bring Suit to Dust Him From
 Office and Taunts Him as to His
 Ignorance of the Law

"The truth of tho matter contin- ucd the offended supervisor, :" IS that Globes is trying Co injurc me m the estimation of tho people because ] am fighting the United Verde Copper company, simply 10 make it pay it's just share of the taxes of the county. Gibbcs is the attorney for the cor. porntion, 1 understand. At least he told n Prescott man recently when asked if he would be candidate for district attorney at the coming clcc. ton, that hc made foo much money as attorney for the United Verde to war. rant him in running for thc office"
 "That accounts for his auimosity against nc, explained Smith. |" He wns mad because his anti gambling ordinance was shown up as worthless, and hc tried to shift the blame on the sheriff and myself believe 1 know the law better than Globes does, for I have studied it and have counscllcd with my attorney since taking office, in order thu, might do my duty to the people of Yavapai county. My chief aim has been to reduce the tax rates, and to accomplish that object have attempted to make the United Verde company pay in the same proportion as other taxpayers.
 Now, Mir. Gibbcs, this is n plain chal lengc. It means that if you know any thing nbout law. you have an excellent chance to demonstrate it without any expense to yourself. If, on the con. 'rary. you fail to accept it, your inac. tion is tantamount to n confession of ineompctcncy. for certainly you would not have made that declaration before the Jerome council unless you believed you were right in your interpretation of the law

 "If Globes will bring suit against me, will pay all the expenses of the trial, go that it will not cost him cent or the county cent if he succeeds in ousting mo from ofice.''
 The above is the direct and positive challenge that Supervisor Barney Smith made yesterday and authorized to be published after reading an account of the Jerome council proceedings wherein City Attorney Globes of Jerome is quoted as saying that Smith could he busted from office because he is T partner in gambling house in Tres. colt
 Globes wns inccDscd because the sheriff had issued gambling licenses in Jerome and said he thought 1t had been done through the influence of Super. visor Barney smith. Going further, Globes read section from the sta tutc which he claimed made it unlaw. ful for many person interested in gambling to hold public office, and that Mir Smith was liable under the section, and could bc busted from his office by it's provisions.
 "That shows how little Gibbcs knows about law, said Mir. Smith af tc reading the article in the Jerome paper. "'i have read the statute and it applies only to public officers who handle county money, for instance the sheriff, recorder and treasurer. I have to sign my name three times before [ can even draw my own salary. Let Globes try to oust me from office. l defy him even to try it, much less do it. If he succeeds, will guarantee that the trial will not cost either him or the county cent. Now, let him go to it."
