NEIL IS CHARGED WITH ATTEMPT
 ID RAPE
Minnie Brown. Aged 6, and One Other Young Girl, Margerite Attaway, Aged g. Said to Be Victims of This Man.

Robert Neil, owner of the La Fay cite house in Upper Brewery Gulch. md a miner employed at the Czar shaft, lies in the branch county jail charged with having attempted to ,avish little Minnie Brown, child of six years, the daughter of Joseph Brown, proprietor of the Brown store; while a similar charge preferred by Mrs. Frederick Attaway, another of Margerite Attaway, aged g, also hangs over the head of Neil.
 The alleged attempts are said to have taken place in the room occupied by Neil at the La Fayette house on Tuesday and Wednesday of the pres ent week.
 Neil, at the branch county jail yes terday, protested his innocence and told story widely at variance with that of the children and their parents. He will employ an attorney, he says, and fight the case which he ayers is an outrageous attempt to bring shame on him.
 According to NeiPs story of the affair, the two girls named, while pass ing by his room on their way from school Tuesday, asked him to give them a drink of water. This he did and the girls followed him into the room which faces on the stairway leading from the street below along side the building to the floor above and is used as an alleyway.
 Picture postal cards, he claims, at tracted the little Brown girl and she remained to examine them, both of the girls showing great interest in the novelties.
 Later the Brown girl paid a second visit to Neil's room, he says, at which time she was in the company of her brother.
 At no time was alone with either of the girls they charge me with wronging," said Neil to Review re- porter yesterday in the branch coun- iy jail
 T have lived in Bisbee for the past five years, and during that time this is the first time that anyone has ever changed me with wrong act"
 Neil will be remembered by many who follow closely the doings of the local courts as the man who was the prosecutions principal witness in the trial of William Dunne, at that time charged with the murder of Lizzie Ferguson, who died from an overdose  of morphine said to have been admin istered by Dunne at the Beer Garden. Previous to the Ferguson woman's death she had been the mistress of Neil
 The stories told by the little girls to their parents differ widely from that told by Neil. They go so far as to describe iE detail his actions when each was with him alone in his room, and claim that they were enticed there by him and later made the vic tins of his attempt to EaFish them.
 Neil will be brought before Justice Hogan today when the complaint of Mrs .Attaway will be read to him, his plea taken and time set for the pre- liminary hearing.
 The case wherein Joseph Brown ap- pears as ccnplainan; will not be taken un until the Attawsy case is disposed O..

Committee Finds That Many Are Assuming Title of Bar
 onet Without Right

LONDON, April 25.-Unlike the ti-
 ties granted in some continental countries, those of the British aristoc- racy always seem to rest on solid foundation based as they have been on royal decrees or patents and care fully enveloped in red tape It de- veloped this evening, however, that there is an alloy in the gold of the baronetage. A special departmental committee has issued report sayi:ig there is no doubt that q numbe: of persons have assumed the title of baronet whether wrongfully or upon the most doubtful basis These cases approximate five or ten per cent of the entire baronetage The commit tee recommends legislative action to create a tribunal that shall prevent the unlawful use of any title

Bull Snakes in a Well.

In making arrangements for a pipe line for the new city water system on the hill south of here, one of the work
 men stepped today into a depression in the ground which gave way with him for several feet before he was pulled out by companions. The sunk. en ground marked the site of an old well which the early settlers dug in an attempt to find artesian water No water was found. but it was af- teTward discovered that the abandoned well had become a den of snakes. The story of how this was discovered was related today by Oliver Howard, for mer county superintendent of schools of Weld county.
 Oliver Howard while peering into the old well, dropped his fine gold watch into the deep hole. The watch had been given to him by his father and he offered $10 to any one who would recover it. Frank Hotchkiss, now resident of Fort Morgan, and the Hart brothers determined to win the money.
 A rope was placed about Hotchkiss and he was lowered with the aid of a team into the well, carrying with him a big stick. At a given signal he was drawn up, bringing with him the watch and a bull snake that meas ured the length of the wagon box.
 The bottom of the well, he said, was covered with these reptiles, and the sides of the well honeycombed with their dens.-Denver Republican.

A six-Foot Rattier Killed.

When a man hunts or fishes in In, dian Territory he has to bear constant. ly in mind that he is in danger of rattlesnakes. centipedes and tarantu- las.
 He is likely to find them most any. where, except in cold weather, and they are usually big ones. The ratt- lers are especially numerous on rocky points where the sun beats full upon them, and the censpedes and taran- tulas are found mo& anywhere.
 One of the largest rattlers ever seen in this section was killed by Rees Ev- ans. disbursing agent for the govern ment offices at Muskogee, who shot the monster rattler with a six-shooter. The snake measured six feet two inch es. and had eleven rattles and a but ton. The snake was coiied up on a rock when he was discovered and looked big enough to fill a bushel basket.-Kansas City Star.

LOS ANGELES MONEY COMING THIS WAY

Phoenix-George Porter, a former resident of Prescott, passed through here Saturday morning en route to his home in Los Angeles, after making the first payment on group of mines in the new copper country near the famous Carrigan mines, for the Grown Queen Mining company. Mir. Porter, who is president and gen eral manager of the company, was accompanied by one Of the directors of the concern, which is composed of prominent Los Angeles capitalists.
 When seen by newspaper repre- sentative at the depot, MT. Porter ex- pressed regret that pressing business engagements prevented him from stopping over here
 There are millions of Los Angeles capital looking for investment in this territory he said, and at the pres ent time the copper country opened by the building of the A. & c. railroad appears to be the most attractive to our investors. Some wonderful mines will be opened in the Bill Williams river, Harqua Hsla and Harcuvsr ranges in the next two years, and when the road is built to the main line at Gengal, Cal, you may look for a great boom there. Investors in cop per and gold mines appear to be just waking up to the fact that Arizona is the richest country in these minerals in the west, and I firmly believe that this territory is on the eve of the greatest era of prsperity in it's his tory
 MT. Porter expects to return to his camp at an early date. after arrange ments are completed for the purchase of machinery equipment and the start ing of work on the mines.

 Gentlemen:
 Some time ago became greatly in terested in the McKanna method of treatment for the liquor habit and made very thorough investigation of the matter.
 The evidence I have received of the efficacy of the treatment, both in re gard to the eradication of the anne tite for liquor and the general bene- hclal results to the entire mental and physical system, have confirmed me In the opinion that Dr. McKanna's claims are based on a solid foundation or truth and can be fulfilled to the letter.
 l have already recommended the treatment to persons whom I knew required it, and it will be my pleasure to call the attention of eyeryons | can reach who is in need of the cure to the fact that their freedom from the curse of liquor slavery is in their own hands and may be permanently secured by course of treatment in one of the McKanna institutions.
 With earnest wishes that the bene- its of this marvellous discovery may becomes widely known and appreciated as it deserves, I am,
 Very sincerely yours.
