MIAMI FLATS IS !. SCARED BY
 INDIANS
Two ApacheS Load Up on Fire Water and Run Amuck- Shoot Up Ranch in Desper- ate Manner.

Miami Flat had an Indian scare last uight. IL wasn't quite as bad as the first reports brought to Globe, but 1t seemed to have given the people who live in the vicinity of Miami some what of a fright. It was similar to other Indian scares. @ combination of thirsty redskinds, bad boze and plenty of cartridges. says the Silver Belt.
 Jack the Ripper" whose correct cognomen is said to be Jack Walker. arrived In the ciey last evening at about 730, after riding his pony with the throttle wide open all the way from Miami Flat, and informed the sheriffs office that a number of h. dians were shooting up the ranch houses o John Riser and the McLanes, Bob Anderson immediately got their horses and started out with Walker for the scene of the disturbance.
 The Indians were nowhere in sight when the officers reached Miami, but they learned there that two Indians had been shooting promiscuousiy around the houses. At McLane's they were creating a disturbance and had been ordered away but they answered with a volley of Winchester shots, which fortunately did not strike any one.
 Knighton and Anderson started on a hunt about that section and in ten below the new Mitchell smelter they found one of the offenders, a well known Indian in this vicinity. His name Is Henry Clay Chil-chu-a-na. a son of the noted Apache chief, Chil- chu-a-na, who is now winding up strenuous career in aboriginal simplic- ity at Rice. When located, Henry was wearing a 45 revolver and belt full of cartridges. A Il the chambers of the gun were empty. He refused tc give the name of his companion and also refused to tell the officers what had become of his Winchester. He was brought into town and place,
 cell In the county Jail.
 Chilchu-a-na had been drinking.
 when the officers wanted him to tell the number of his companions in the shooting, he absolutely refused tc peacch and told the officers that he would die before telling.
 This is not the first time there has been similar trouble at Miami Fla | and the officers are of the opinion that the Indians secure their liquor at that point. Sheriff Thompson in tends to cause an investigation into the alleged selling of liquor to Indians by saloons in that vicinity.

LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS
 ATTRACTS PEOPLE
Hon. George w. GIowner Is at Phoenix Looking
 Around.

PHOENIX, Ariz, Jan 30.-Legis- lative sessions always serve to bring goodly number of prominent people to the capital city. Hon. George w. Glowner Is one of the latest to ar rive. He is a democratic war horse, city attorney of his home town, Flag staff, and 8 member of the territorial central committee of long standing, and always goes to and takes an ac- tive part in territorial conventions of his party. He thinks AriZona's mu- nicipal laws need some repairs.
 In speaking of politics yesterday, Glowner said:
 'Tn the campaign in Coconino coun- ty last fall Henry F. Ashust, candi- date for reelection as district attor- pey, was the picturesque and unique character. His opponent was his old political enemy, E. NJ. Doe. During Ashurst's first term, in and out of court, in and out of season, through the public press and from the stump, he had accused certain county offi- cials, including Doe, of being conspir- ing grafters and political free-booters and that they had an organized gang whose principal business it was to loot the county treasury at every op- portunity.
 "Ashurst was the brains of the campaign. He inspired the platform upon which he was to stand for re- election, charging his opponent and other republican candidates fu accu- sations most yitrioIic. They came back at him with equal vituperation.
 "AshursLs majority was greater than ever. His great victory carried nearly the whole democratic ticket with him. Coconino Is one of the strong republican counties of the ter ritory.
 ''The people of his county will not allow him to retire to private life. He has been a public. oficial since he was 21 years of age. He is a young intellectual giant, with great rnagne- tism and oratorical powers
 sThe people demand now, since his great victory that he must be the nominee for delegate to congress bezt year. His modesty has not yet permitted him to consent, but the del egation of his county at the next con yention will undoubtedly present his name"

'B|SBEE NAMED IN SIX CORNERED
 LEAGUE.
Plan Under Way for 0rganiza- ton for 1907-Frank Leake of Fl Paso Behind the Pro- posed Venture.


 TUCSON, Ja. 31.-Tucson may be represented in a professional baseball league this summer. Already plans are under way for the formation of the league. which will have six cities in the. circuit. If the project is sue. cessful.
 he teams which are counted upon to make up the league are Fl Paso Albuquerque, Santa Fe or Las Vegas in the eastern end and Tucson, Bis bee, Cananea. Douglas or Phoenix in the western end. Of these cities M Paso and Albuquerque in the east and Tucson and Bisbee in the west are counted upon as certainties. Las Vegas on Santa Fe. and Phoenix. Can anea or Douglas are regarded as pos abilities.
 The promoter of the league is Frank Leake, well known base ball and theatrical man, who has his headquar- ters at present In Fl Paso. Mir. Leake has written to Emanuel Drachman to find out conditions here.
 Ieake has had much experience in promoting leagues and he can lay claim to having organized two leagnes that are enjoying great prosperity. These leagues are the Pacific North west and the Texas league. In tackling the proposition of an Arizona-New Mexico-Texas league MT. Leake realizes that he is up against some obstacles which are not, how ever, insurmountable. The condi. tons are such in the Southwest that slightly different tactics must be em. ployed than in other sections of the country.
 Regarding the proposed league this much can be said: Tucson can sup port s professional team. Albuquer- que can support a professional team. Bisbee can support professional team. It is a question. however. whether the remaining cities neces. sary to make a six-club league can produce enough simoleons at the gate to keep a team going.

EXCITED JEALOUSY.

Popular Priest at Rome Flees to This
Country.
London, Jan. 3.-A correspondent of
the Daily Express in Rome says that
Virrino Carones, who is said to be in
New York left Italy to escape intrigues
against him. His sudden disappear
ance from Rome some months ago was
puzzling mystery which has now
been solved by the publication of a
document he left behind. In it Father
Carones says that his popularity ex-
cited the jealousy of fellow priests
who schemed for his expulsion. Queen
Marguerite frequently asked him to
conduct special services and he be-
came the favorite confessor of many
of the best prominent ladies in Rome.

KILLS A HIGH OFFICIAL
Perfect of Police Won Der Launitz Slain at Dedication of
Church-.Murderer Killed by Soldiers

st. Petersburg, Jan. 3.-The police
have not yet succeeded in identifying
the terrorist who killed Major General
Won Der Launitz, prefect Of police Of
st. Petersburg, at the institute of ex-
perimental medicine this afternoon,
and who coolly turned his revolver on
himself while he was falling under
the sabers Of the prefect escort.
The authors Of this crime, however,
like the recent assassination of Count
Igantieff, and the unsuccessful attempt
to blow up Premier Stolypin, with
bomb, has been traced to the fighting
organization of the social revolution
lists who recently resolved to resume
full terrorist activities.
The organization tonight isued the
customary pamphlet avowing and justi-
flying the killing Of General Won Der
Launitz, which was accomplished with
an ease and simplicity that has struck
terror into the hearts Of all other Off
cials on the revolutionary death list.
The man who committed the crime
was about % years of age, and appar-
emily belonged to the intelligent work
ing class. The police affirm that he
was a Jew. He was provided with a
card of admission to the dedication
of the church, but this card bore no
name. The authorities have not been
able to learn how he obtained this in
vitation to the ceremonies, which were
extremely select, only $50 cards hav-.
ing been issued.
Prince Peter Alexanderovitch, duke.
of Oldenburg, is a patron Of the insti-
tute. Among the guests were his wife,
Grand Duchess Olga, youngest sister
of Emperor Nicholas, Princess Eugene
Amilianova, and a number of other

persons prominent at court.
The fact that General Won Der
Launitz was to attend the consecra-
tion Of the church, was not generally
known and the terrorists must have
learned Of the fact through some
sources within the police department.
The prefect was accompanied by his
usual bodyguard Of secret service men,
but none Of these had the slightest
suspicion Of the murderer, although
his toll stained hands were completely
out Of harmony with his faultless even
ing clothes, garb which everybody
attending official ceremonies in Russia
must don.
The killing of General Won Der
Launitz was followed by scene of in
describable hysteria and confusion.
The Duke Of Oldenburg, who was one
of the few who retained their COM
posure, seized the assassin's hand af-
ter he had fired twice and several sue
ceeding shots were discharged into the
ceiling. But before the duke could
disarm him, one Of the officers who
accompanied the prefect drew his sa-
bre and struck the assassin a powerful
blow which completely cut out por-
tion of his skull. AS the man was
falling he shot himself in the stomach
with the last bullet in the revolver.
His death was instantaneous, but the
officers continued to hack his pros
trate body until the Duke of Oldenburg
struck UP their swords and forced
them to desist.
In addition to two arrests made
within the church. the doors of which
were closed after the shooting, several
other persons were taken into custody
in neighboring instrument factory,
which is believed to have served as

race, either on blackboard or any
other substance, or to telephone bet
on a horse race to any other state. He
also recommended legislation to sup
press bucket shops" rigid child labor
laws and a law prohibiting concern
or corporation from selling pools in
any part of the state.
The state, he said, should regulate
the charges of public service corpora
tions, both domestic and foreign, doing
business in the state.
It was in the province of the general
assembly, he said, to prevent one cor
poration from owning stock in an
other, and authorizing quo warranto
proceedings to be filed to dissolve any
corporation, a majority Of the stock in
which is acquired by holding com
pany.
This was necessary, he urged, to
prevent the creation of monopolies in
trade and business in the state. He
recommended the amendment of the
anti-bribery law, so that witnesses
could be forced to testify, but reliev-
ing them from prosecution by reason
of their testimony.
The governor invited consideration
of the propriety and advisability of the
adoption Of resolution making appli-
cation to congress to call q convention
for proposing amendments to the fed
eral constitution with reference to the
election Of United States senators by
direct vote of people, the establish
ment Of the principles of initiative and
referendum and for a just income tax.
