 A SURPRISE
lContlnned from F.rgt Page.

(Continued from First Page.) Simpkins at the time was a member of the executive board of the Western Federation.
 When Knight had asked him resard- inP tue reDlic- on every page of the confession. Adams replied:
 'I believe these are the answers given by me. but I deny everything in this statement connected with the crime"
 Tn connection with the alterations in Haubenois' handwriting. Adams admitted that many of these had been made by Haubenois in conform ity with his own direction.
 This statement would appear to contradict Adams previr-~ testimony in which he said he only glanced at the statement before signing it.
 Adams admitted that Mcfarland told him when trying to get his con- fidence that he wanted it for the purpose of conyicting the officers of 1Le Western Federation. but Adams was unable to state how the comics sion dealing with the murder of Tyler and Boule implicated any of these men. eyen Simpkins.
 Adams testified further that while he was swearing to the confession he remarked to Mcfarland
 'I am signing away my right to live" and that McPart.and replied: This paper can not show our promises t. you. but you will be all right and We will stand by you"

J. Brown. Mrs. Brown had sent for her and she hurried to respond. leaving her three children and little Lawrence Brown in the house. all unconscious of the catastro- phe- which menanced them. She naa been gone but few minutes when there was an explosion. supposedly of gasoline. and in a twinkling the flaEas had spread throughout the in terior of the house.
 Irene Brown. the 15-year-oId daugh- ter of Mrs. Brown. and Mrs. White. mother of the children. made a heroic attempt to rescue all of them. They threw open the front door. but the smoke and heat drove them back. Lit, tie Lawrence Brown and Hulda White. two of the imprisoned children. were near the front door and were taken ou" by the rescUers. but the two little tots were one in high chair and the other in crib further back and could not be reached before the entire build ing was enveloped. Mrs. White was seriously burned about the face and arms and Lawrence Browns feet were blistered.
 The house was totally destroyed in thirty minutes and short time later the charred bodies of the two children were taken out.
 Henrr White. father of the children. was just starting on his run when he was called home He arrived soon af- ter the remains had been removed from the ruins. Justice Mabc-- held the inquest and rendered verdict in accordance with the facts set forth above

MEXICAN STATES MAY
 STOP BULLH|GHTING
HonorS Showered On a Dead Fighter Caused Start of
 MoVeent.

MONTEREY, Mexico, Feb. 27.-The movement to stamp out bullfighting in Mexico has received an impetus by the support which is being given it by prominent government officials throughout the country. It is believed that many of the states will enact laws prohibiting the sport, and that the time is not far distant when a national law of the same character will be passed. The honors which the masses of the people showered upon Montes, the noted Spanish bull fighter, who recently died in Mexico City from injuries received in the bulIring, have served to awaken dis gust for the men who engage in the sport. as we'll as for the sport itself. among the better class of people of this country.
 General Bernardo Reyes, of Mon terey, governor of the state of Nuevo Leon and former secretary of wzr, discussed the subject as follows
 Governor Disuusted With Fighters
 There is nothing more abhorrent to me than the vanity and disgusting impudence of the whole tribe of bull fighters ,unless 1t Is the uncalled for encouragement given them by a large part of the public. I cannot appreci- ate the grounds upon which anyone can pay tribute to such a worthless class of nonproducers and idlers. I have always lamented the fact that the press of the country has devoted a large share of its reading space to the honor of these fellows, in educat- ing the public to worship and flatter them to the disadvantage of more worthy matters. As a consequence, things pertaining to the development and progress of the country have been neglected.
 Tt was particularly painful to me to behold entire columns of space in the daily press devoted to Montes on the occasion of his death, making a hero of and almost deifying such a being, while the great things going on in connection with the Tebaunte- pee railroad were given second place or entirely ignored.
 For me to depiore bulifighter wor- ship it is not necessary that 1 desire to see the sport abolished. To say the least, this exciting and fascinat ing pastime has afforded safety valve for the escapement of Dent-ul impulses and natural human forces which would otherwise have been forced to burst out in less innocent channels. Bullfghting is unquestion ably a fascinating and exciting sport; out the practice of making heroes oi buIifghters, who occupy a very low social and moral plane, is not only ob noxious, but hurtful to every interesi of the race and nation It may be useless and III advised to attempt tc stop bullfighting, but 1t would be . most laudable achievement to place the. institution in i.s proper place"

STAFFORD BUYS SOME
 vIOLETS: GETSALEMON
Well Known Mining Man Paints Lurid C0!orS on Azure Blue
 Ccieing From Benson,

That Thomas Stafford. the well known local mining man was an au- thority on horticulture, never be- came known to his friends until about i2 o'clock last night. when that gem t:eman arrived at the Copper Queen hotel, after a sixty mile trip overland, and had with him a bunch of violet,, which had cost exactly s57.
 The story about the violets is a touching one, and none but a very few heard 1t until one Of the conf dants could hold in no longer and told it to crowd. It goes as follows:
 When the Butte capitalists reached Benson yesterday morning returning from Tucson. where they had been inspecting one of their properties, Stafford, who a short time ago com pleted his honeymoon. hethought him. self to carry home to his bride a bunch of exquisite violets he saw dis played in window, a short distance from the railroad. While he was in the store the train started, and as the old boy well knew that he was no sprint CT, he just stopped in his tracks, and as the train pulled out of sight, tn. passengers noticed a blue streak rise over Benson
 Stafford then hired a team and driver at a cost of s25 to take him to Tombstone He arrived in the coun- ty seat at 2 p. m.. holding desperately to the bunch of violets. chewing a cigar and cussing with each breath A fresh team was immediately order ed and another driver at cost of s20. American money. to bring him to Bis bee. About 11:45 last night the peo- pie of Upper Tombstone canyon wer- alarmed bv seeing cyclone pass their dwellings but could not make out the cause. until they learned thas it was only Stafford enjoying a moon light drive. He finally landed at the Copper queen hotel. and just as he was getting from the carriage one of the axels broke. entailing an extra cost of about SIP.
 By this time he was wild. and walked up the steps. worn out. sick. sore. tired. and disgusted. but still hanging like grim death to the bunch of violets.
 A ss.asch of the records reveals that this is the costliest bunch of vioiet> that was ever brought into the War ren District.

HIGHEST AND LOWEST
 POINTS IN CALIFORNIA
Facts Learned As Result of Geological Survey Just
 Finished.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 27.- The United States geological survey has just completed line Of spirit levels through Death valley, Califor- nia, and much to the surprise of ey- eryone familiar with the region has ascertained that the depth of that area is not so great as was supposed The final computations of the results have not yet been made, but the pre- liminary figures give for the lowest point a depth of PIC feet below sea level. Bennetts We'll which Is near this point, is 266 feet below sea level. These figures may be altered by two or three feet when the final computa- tions are made, but they are probably not more than three feet in error. The geological survey now has eleya- tion marks on the highest and lowest points of dry land in the United States.
 It is a strange coincidence that these two extremes are both in south ern California and only seventy-five miles apart Mount Whitney is a foot or two over 14,500 feet above sea level, while Death valley, as above stated, is PFC feet below Before the Salton sink, also in southern Califor. mia, was flooded by the Colorado riv- CT, it contained the lowest point of dry land in the United States, a spot 2s7 feet below sea level
 Previous estimates of the depth of Death valley based on barometer readings gave for the lowest point figures varying from 250 to 450 feet below sea level. The level of the geological survey is believed to be the first accurate determination of elevations in that locality that has ever been made.

Rangers. who was stopping in the hotel.
 Wheeler Takes Prompt Action
 After listening to the story of Sil- verton and searching him to make sure he was not carrying a conceal4i weapon, Wheeler walked towards the train, for the purpose of preventing trouble, and to disarm Tracy, should he discover he was carrying a gun. across the street to the railroad tracks, Tracy was standing on me car steps of the cafe parlor car. As Wheeler approached Tracy, and was within few feet of him, Mr. and Mrs. Silver ton left the hotel also, to go to the train. As Tracy saw the married couple leave the hotel he jumped down from the steps and as he did so attempted to pull gun. and had the gun half out of his pocket. when Wheeler stepped up close. saying:
 Hold on there. I arrest you. Give me that gun"
 For reply. Tracy whipped out the revolver and fired, the shot entering the side of wheeler's coat, passing through without doing any damage. As Tracy fired the first shot. Wheeler got his own gun into action, and the next two shots were fred almost to- gether. Wheeler continued to ad- vance upon Tracy. commanding him to halt: that he was under arrest. ano to surrender his gun. Tracy kept o.s firing and Wheeler returning the fire. When Wheeler had fired four shots. all of them taking effect. and the men were standing in the middle of the street, Tracy said:
 T am all in. My gun is empty"
 At this announcement, Wheeler threw his gun down on the ground, and walked towards Tracy. command ing him to surrender. At this time. Wheeler was shot through the left leg and Tracy was shot four times in the body above the waist line. al, though he was still able to stand on his feet.
 Tracy's gun was not empty. As Wheeler advanced toward him. Tracy fired at him twice, one of the shots taking effect in the Rangers foot Nothing daunted. Wheeler gathered his man (his own gun was several feet behind him) and finally. after Tracy had shot at him six times, Wheeler walked up to him and dis armed him, turned him over to a lone Benson officer, went back and picked up his own gun. and then was so weak from pain and loss of blood that he had to be assisted into the hotel.
 Tracy was able to walk with assist ance. From the nature of his wounds it was thought best to send him to th- hospital at Tucson. He died on the way, at Mescal Station.
 Capt Ryning, who was in BensoI at the time, took deposition from Tracy. but could not get him to say much beyond the fact that there was woman in the case.
 Wheeler was taken to the hospitas in Tombstone yesterday by Capt Ryn- niuB- ne VIII De cou4hSu eo HIS Dcu for about a month.
 When seen by Review man at Benson, Wheeler regretted the occur renee and was sorry when he learned that his assaiiant had died while be- ing taken to Tucson.
 There is little doubt that Tracy came to Benson yesterday for the pur- pose of killing silverton and his wife and but for the prompt and plucky action of Ranger Wheeler. there is very little doubt that he would have accomplished his purpose.
