A Serious Charge.

Henry Scales, colored, was ar rested this morning by Marshal Marsh, charged with an assault with intent to kill. The crime for which he was arrested was committed yesterday afternoon at the Ozan saw mill, when in a dispute between the negro and Everett Caudle, a 16-year old white boy, the former struck the white boy with a two-inch bolt, penetrating his hip, and making an ugly wound. The bolt struck endways, and if it had hit the boy ? inches higher it would have killed him. The negro's prelimi- nary trial will be heard before Mayor Arnold, just as soon as the wounded man is able to ap- pear against him.
 There is no better or quieter boy in Prescott than Everett Cau- dle. He is universally liked at the mill, and if Scales had fell into the hands of the boys friends last night, it is probable that they would have dealt roughly with him.

HORRIBLE CRIME
 BY A SOLDIER
Especial Gable to Review.) By P & Correspondents

ROME, May 19.-The report of a terrible crime committed by an Ital- ian soldier comes from Savona on the Riviera. A private in an infantry reg iment, named Sperati. stole a vetter- Ii rifle and 90 cartridges from the guard room of the barracks, and the Following night he broke into the house of diamond dealer, who had refused him his daughters hand, and shot him down. s2 the morning he held up priest and ordered him to give him 150 Cires The priest ter rorstricken, went into his house to get the money, when his dog rushed at the soldier and attacked him say agely. The priest took advantage of this, rushed up into the belfry and tolied the bells. At the sound of the bells peasants came rushing from all sides armed with scythes and shot guns and drove the soldier away. He fled across the fields, fired at two boys, broke into a house occupied by widow and her twenty-year-old daughter. Threatening to kill ner fl she refused, he forced the young girl to follow him into the woods. She succeeded, however, in escaping and this made the soldier so furious that he turned back and shot her mother dead. Immediately afterwards, the carabinieri surrounded the house and captured the murderer after he had fired away his last cartride and wounded two of them severely.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

Special wire to Duey & Overlook )
 NEW YORK, May 1S.-AnotheT dull day in the stock market, and al though the bank statement was fay- orable, it had little effect on the mar ket. Speculative interest is stiu in the grain market, and the latter dis played considerable weakness to- day. It is generally conceded that the crop damage has been of very great extent and this, no. doubt, will have a terribly dampening effect on the New York stock market. There are continued reports of new bond is sues and short time notes by several of the large corporations, and this does not do anything to add to the strength of the situation, and the stock trading is likely to continue of . professional character, with slug gish tendency in the absence of de- velopments calculated to stimulate activity on the long side.

 FLORENCE, May 8.-An unusually pretty young girl who committed sui eide by shooting herself, in one of the main streets here, has been identified as Nadia Baradin, Russian student, zz years old The young lady who was said to be the illegitimate daugh- ter of the late Car, Alexander III, was an exile from Russia, where she had spent three years in prison for being member of a secret political society, which had planned the mur- der of a Grand Duke. She was par. doned by Czar Nicholas, on condition that she leave Russia forever. iron. Odessa she went to London but the Russian secret police followed her. A young detective who was sent to keep track of her and who posing as a friend won her confidence, feli in love with her and they were married. After the wedding he confessed that be was in the CZar's service. where upon she immediately left him, and went to Berlin where she obtained a position as governess. About six months ago. she came to Florence and took up painting. Her beauty at. tracted the attention of artists, and her portrait has been exhibited in sev. eral salons. Two wealthy young Englishmen became so enraptured with her that they joined the Acaa- emy of Art here to be near the young Russian beauty.
 What drove her to commit suicide no one knows. She left letter ask. ing that no autopsy be performed on her body and that high official al the Czar's court be notified of her death. From this man she received monthly remittance of 400 Roubles, which 1t is now thought came from the czar's private exchequer.

CONDITIONS AT YUMA
 VERY ENCOURAGING
Prison Official Visiting In Douglas Talks of Pro-
 gross and Prosperity

DOUGLAS, May lS.-(Special.l-
 Frank Van Sicklin. chief guard on the inside of the territorial prison at Yu. ma. has been in Douglas for several days visiting his sister, Mrs. James Mcclure of G avenue.
 Mir. Van Sicklin has been connected with the prison for nearly four years. Speaking of the prison he says that it is in excellent condition now and contains thpee hundred prisoners which is about one hundred more than were confined when he faSt went there. Captain Rynning is getting along nicely in his position of super intendent and has made some import ant improvements in the way of need ed repairs since he took charge. Few changes were made in the official force at the prison by the new sUperintend- ent, only a few changes being made in the office force.
 It is expected that work on the new prison to be built at Florence will be started some time next fall. when a number of prisoners will be trans ferred there to work on the construc- ton of the new buildings.
 Mir Van Sicklin stated that Yuma was in a prosperous condition and is now making a substantial growth. The people there are more enthusiastic oy- CT the future of the city than ever be- fore because of the progress of work on the Lagupa dam which the govern ment is building with the purpose of supplying water for many thousands of acres of fertile land in what is known as the Yuma valley on the Col orado river. It will be probably two years before the dam is completed but when the work is done there will be no question about an abundant sup ply of water for making the Yuma val ley one of the finest agricultural and Horticultural sections of the south vest
 Colonel Randolph. of the Southern Pacific, still has large force at work ] n the ieyees built to hold the water within the banks of the Colorado riy-
 below Yuma where the big break last year allowed the Colorado river to run into it and form the Salton sea. Niles. of leyees have been constructed in addition to the huge rock dam which was put across the channel of the main intake So far the work at the intake has served its purpose we'll and the Ievees are believed now to be in condition to hold the water within the Colorado channel during the high wat CT season which may be expected in the near future.
 Frank Van Sicklin was a member of the Rough Rider regiment which went from Arizona to the Spanish war in Cuba. He enlisted in Graham county where he had lived from the time he came to Arizona when boy He is nephew of the late Uncle Josh Bailey, who was pioneer of the ter. ritory and kept stage stations on var ious stage routes from Yuma to Bail ey's station on the old stage road from Bowie to Globe.

MAYOR ADAMsOA BACK
 FROM CALIFORNIA
He Arranged to Ship Douglas
 Building Material to San Francisco.
DOUGLAS. May is.-1special.l E

DOUGLAS, May Especial. )--
 Mayor W. NJ. Adamson> returned home this morning rrom San Francis co. having been in California. for three weeks. Mir Adamson went to Los Angeles and San Francisco for the purpose of selling some of the pro duets of the Arizona Gypsum Plaster company of this city, of which he is president and general manager. He found a good demand for the plaster which he manufactures here but found that the railroad rates are not favor able for profit to the Douglas enter prise He now has the matter of freights under consideration by the railroads and hopes that concessions will be made which will enable him to ship a large amount of the gypsum plaster to both Los Angeles and San Francisco. 4 number of orders were taken which will depend upo nthe rate named by the railroads
 Mayor Adamson was in San Fran cisco during the excitement of the early days of the street car strike in that city. He said that at first there was great depression among the busi- ness men who In many cases reported e falling of in business of from 50 10 60 per cent The business men of San Francisco have been sorely af- iicted with strikes of various char acter and the announeepent of a strike creates great aiarm.A The car men on strike seem to be trying to prevent any violent trouble and most of the brickbat throwing has been en- gagged in by the sympathizers not con nected with the carmeG's union. May or Adamson stated this morning that he escaped all of the flying missiles but that he witnessed much of the violent assaults on the strike breakers and those riding in the cars. From many of the tall buildings under con struction wcrkmen have endangered the lives of the strike breakers and also the lives of the passengers riding in the cars by throwing bricks, kegs of nails, lumber and other missiles on the cars in the streets below.
 Since the arrival of Governor Gil lette and his announcement that law and order must be resumed in San Francisco if takes the entire military force of the state to accomplish it, con ditions have improved and the police are showing more determination in the matter of making arrests.
 The mayor was in Los Angeles sev- eral days on his way to San Francis co and reports that city to be much like Douglas in the matter of build ing; houses are going up just as fast as material can be secured.

 \ OUT WITH GUN

DOUGLAS, May 1S.-(Special.l-
 That he demanded and secured at the point Of a shot gun bottle of wine from the Waldorf bar and that, later, at the point of the same gun, he held up Policeman Gentry and com pelled him to do double quick down the middle of the street for two or three blocks iii the business section of the city, only later to be disarmed by Officers Hilburn and Gentry and, after incarceration in the city jail, to try and burn up the jail, is the combi- nation of offenses charged to Tom Drisdale, better and more widely known as Mississippi Tom" for the alleged perpetration of which the felony charge of assault with dead 5 weapon has been preferred against : him
 T. ali came about after Drisdale had gotten on a drIsAk T-siiriously intoxi- cated he ran amuck and the incidents already recited are but a few of the yagaries of which he is guilty between the time he started out and was ar rested and disarmed. He began in the vicinity of the Waldorf saloon. Walking into that resort he asked the bartender if he had left a bottle of wine there.
 '.lou nave not" answered the man behind.
 Drisdale went out but he came back again, this time with the shot gun. He again addressed himself to the bar tender after having thrown the shot gun into his face.
 Have got a bottle of wine here? 2"
 You have" answered the barkeep this time, and Drisdale got the wine.
 Later Gentry came under Drisdaie's disfayor and it is related that at the point of the shotgun, threatening bloody murder all the time if he did not comply, Gentry was compelled to walk down the street from the vicini- ty of Williams saloons 10 the White House and ultimately to the Waldorf. There Hilburn came in and threw his gun on Drisdale. Thus attracting his attention Gentry rushed Drisdale and bore him down. His disarmament was shen effected and he was taken to the city jail.
 Drisdale was still beiligerent though barmIess-at least, it was thought he was harmless. He wanted to get out on ban but the officers would not ad- init him to bail fingered over this and still raving drunk, at an early hour of the morning he set fire to some discarded bedding that was in front of his cell close up to the jail. This was discovered In time to pre- vent anything serious and Drisdale, sneezing and coughing from the effect of the smoke, was taken out for some fresh air.
 He Is at present out on bond and will be tried tomorrow.

WEATHER RECORD
 SHOWS COOL MAY

DOUGLAS, May 1S.-(Special.\-
 May weather in Douglas this year is little short of remarkable, being far cooler than that of last year, which was probably normal season With the exception of a few days in the first part of the month, when it was a little warmer than for the correspond. ing period of last year, the tempera- ture has been or almost every day far Snder what 1t was for the same period year ago. The variance on one day goes to the extreme of nine teen degrees.
 During the first fifteen days of May, 1906, temperature of and exceeding 90 degrees was recorded on five days. For the same time this year the tenn perature has never reached S5 desi ees and has exceeded S3 degrees on but three days. The greatest variance in the temperature for the two years is shown In the records of May I3, when in 1906 it was Ss and in 1907 it was 70.
