cago Street Railways
Quickly Undone

CHICAGO, Sept. THE United States
court of appeals knocked out Federal
Judge Grosscups plan for reorganizing
and consolidating OhlcagO's west and
north side street railways today IN
doing ten years work, extending over
the terms Of Mayors Harrison, Dunno.
and Busse.

The court Of az peals sat in extraordi-
nary session late this afternoon and IN
did the work o. Judge Grosscup and
Prof. Gray as 5rbiters. and OF Judge
Grosscup as federal Judge, in control
OF the receivers Tor the past five years
Incidentally the expenditure Of 500, 90
in fees and for other expenses is rem
dered Of no avail.
The case had It's incipiency IN the al
legged watering Of traction stocks, the
property's sale before the death of
Charles 7. Yerkes and state OF chaos
growing out OF the companies inability
TO pay interest and dividends.
New Franchise May Be Lost.
The 100000 franchise recently
granted as a gift to the companies may
be lost as the final date for it's &C
ceptance is next Saturday.

organize in time 70 accept 1t legally.
Judge Grosscup has been sharply crlti-
cised by attorneys IN the litigation The
appeal was taken by his critics, and the
appellate courts action sustaining their
objections was unanimous. The whole

AFTER TRAIN RIDE

white boy, was brought into the George
Washington University Hospital last
night, suffering from a severe attack OF
appendicitis, suddenly made worse BY
the jogging Of a train.
Young Walters. who lives at Linden,
Va, was troubled with pains IN IL
stomach and his father. fearing that
the cause might be appendicitis. brought
the boy TO this city for a thorough ex-
animation. While on the train the lad
kept complaining OF the increasing
sharpness of the pains and when he
arrived in Washington IL was found TO
be necessary TO take him to the nos

The physicians stated last night that,
while the boys condition was serious,
there was no immediate danger. He will
be operated on tomorrow.

and the simple-minded villagers. who

Installed to give instant warning Of

trades, the majority of them bricklayers.

months work, and transportation.
Pittsburg also wants over 200 brick
layers.

A dispatch from San Antonio, Texas,
under date of February 2nd says
Gee. H. Meyers, who was found dead
at Yankton, S. D., with a million dol
lars worth of Standard Oil stock on his
person, was we'll known in this city.
Three years ago he came here to be
treated for heart disease. While in the
sanatorium he fell in love with his
nurse, Mrs. Mary Dixon, of this city.
and as soon as he was sufficiently
recovered, married her. Their life
together was not happy, and a year ago
she deserted him. Acting on the attor.
ney's advice, Mr.. Meyers went to South
Dakota to get a legal residence and
secure a divorce. He lacked only one
week of having beer there the required
time. AS he had not secured a divorce
his wife will become heir to his entire
fortune unless he left a Will providing
against this.
Marvin Maule, who is employed at
the power house and city gas works of
Dell Rapids, was overcome by gas last
Saturday afternoon while helping clean
out one of the pipes leading from the
holder at the gas station. Marvin and
Superintendent Houck were at work on
top of the gas generator when the acct
dent occurred. Marvin fell about seven
feet and struck on his head and
shoulders and had he not been
unconscious he would have been
bruised up worse, as it was the muscles
were relaxed and he was as limp as a
dead man. Workmen about the build
ing dragged him out into the open all
while Mr.. Houck fastened to close the
valve where the gas was escaping
Within a short time Marvin recovered
from the effects of the gas and although
pretty sore from the fall was able to &c
to work the next day.

FALL FROM WAGON
 CAUSED HIS DEATH
Ranoher While on His Way Home from Tucson Tumbles from His Wagon and Is Picked Up Dead-Heart Failure May Have Been the Cause.
A raneher living short distance out

A raneher living short distance out of Tucson was killed instantly by fall ing from wagon he was driving.
 The ranch is located near Fort Lowell and the man had been to town with q load of watermelons. After disposing of the load he started on the return trip and when in front of the Hoffman resi- dence on Fifth street fell headlong from the wagon.
 The man may have been attacked by a sudden stroke of some kind which caused his death before the fall, or death may have been caused either by a broken neck or eoneussion of the brain.
 Near the man, on the ground, was found quart bottle of port wine, half empty, and it is probable that he was under the influence of liquor at the time he met his death.

CAMERON MAY BE

Roosevelt Looking for Compromise Candidate Who Can Unite the War ring Republican Factions in the Ter ritorial Political Situation.
A special from Tucson says:

Information received here today in a letter from Washington, says that Brew ster Cameron of this county is being mentioned in political circles at the national capital as a compromise candi- date for governor of Arizona
 Some Republican is desired by the administration at Washington who can reunite the factions of the Republican party in Arizona, and Cameron is the favorite for the position. Fear is en- tertained in Washington that Kibbey cannot deliver the goods in the Repub- liean national convention and someone is needed in Arizona to bring about harmony in the party, and who at the same time did not take an active part for or against joint statehood. Cam eron is said to have the backing of strong political influences in Washing ton and Pennsylvania, being indorsed by close friends of the president in Ari- Zona.

in the pueblo that the officers from Tucson wanted Johns than the whole village rallied to his support. The In dians did not at all relish the prospect of interference with their affairs from the Tucson officers and they determined to either resist with arms or to secrete Johns when the officers arrived. For this reason it is believed that the off cers' posse will have the greatest diff culty in discovering the whereabouts of the Indian.
 By means of communication known only to the Indians, word came to the village of Fl Cubo within twenty four hours after it was known in Tue son that the posse would start for the village.
 "The Papago fiestas in this country are gruesome affairs and not single one goes by without serious cutting or killing serape. The Indians seem to accept these things, however, as a mat ter of course, and the relatives are al ways satisfied when they receive their money payment.
 cit was during the last fiesta at Aio that Rafel Vega, a Papago, mysterously met death. It was supposed that he had perished in the flames which destroyed his shack, but there were evidences that his skull had been fractured and this strongly indicated murder. Those who are familiar with Indian adobes do not attribute the fracture to the fall ing of the walls of the shack.
 "At another recent fiesta an Indian named Juan struck an Indian named Juaquin in the eye with a large boul- der, mashing the latter s face and goug. ing his eye out. This ghastly scene took place at Redondo s wells. The assail- ant settled with the victim by the pay ment of $75 and the two are now warm friends.
 "All the depredations on the part of the Indians are caused through their mescal which is smuggled across the border from Mexico and sold to them. This fiery fluid infames the Indians and it is no unusual thing for a brave to kill some member of his family or his best friend. Thus far the officers have been unable to stop the mescal smuggling and until they do the hor- rible scenes that mark all the festas will continue to be enacted.
 ''The Indians when sober are fairly industrious and live peacefully in their villages according to their own laws and customs. A governor selected from their ranks is the chief ruler of the village and he settles all disputes and prescribes the form of punishment for all offenses.
 cit is from the tribes in this vicinity that many of the young braves and squaws who attend the Tucson Indian school are recruited. They remain in the city for several years and receive a fair education. They soon revert to
