Queerest Sort of Folk.

There are many queer people down here.
and If you can get acquainted with one Of
the local gossips you hear queerer
stories than Frank Stockton or w. w. ia
cobs ever invented about farming and sea-
faring people.
Blckford Philbrick. who was queer in his
head" used to furnish constant topics of
excitement while he was alive, but he died
few years ago In the asylum. Il was
Bickford WHO tried TO pickle his boy. One
winter he became afraid that the family
would run short of salt pork, SO. pre-
caution. he filled a barrel fan of brine,
stripped his youngest son. then about seven
years old, OF all his clothing and put the
lad i'll the barrel, fortunately, feet first. The
boy screamed 50 loudly that the neighbOrs
ran in to see what was the matter and res
cued him before Bickford had put back the
head OF the barrel, as he intended to do.
They succeeded in convincing him that
there was no necessity for converting his
youngest child into pork. They promised
to loan him whatever de needed If his sup
ply gave out. The lad inherited his fathers
peculiarities, they tell me, and IS now in
mate of the asylum at Concord.

ONLY SMALL LOTS OF WOOL ON
 THE MOVE.

Bradstrcet g says of the Boston wool situation:
 As usual. at this time of the year, between the clips, the market is very quiet and only small lots of wool are being moved. to supply immediate de- mands of manufacturers. But this year the usual quiet is more pronounced on account of the very late opening of western markets. where the interest is usually very brisk during April. May and June. The growers are still asking very high prices for their clips, and buyers are holding oT. and while generally at this time many Boston buyers would bc actively engaged in contracting the wool sections, only two or three have left thus far. In fact, the dealers are now facing a turning point in trade conditions, and arc de- | termined not to pay cent over what the wool is actually worth to them for sale ai a fair profit. Advices from England, where local conditions are keeping prices up, are that the May sales will open as high ar higher than the March series and dealers fear the effect this may have on the growers, who are already very firm in their ideas of the value of their clips. In Texas growers and dealers are two cents apart, with no signs of the least concession by either seller ar buyer. About GO per cent of the direct wools from Australia have now reached this country. and the mills are well sup piled. The New Zealand wools are also coming. but of grade which is not in active demand. Cold weather is in' tcrfcring with shearing in the west, but operations are general in Texas and southern California. Shcaring is now beginning in Nevada, Utah, and Wy oming. but nothing has yet been done in the new woois, except a sale of a small lot in California of eight months wool at l76Dlsc., about last years price. Owing to the better conditions of the wool the secured cost will be less than last year

 MAN HUNT.
(From Sundays Daily.)

A real, live man hunt Tor n sup poscdly desperate burglar took place at an early hour yesterday morning, in which several citizens residing on South Virginia street took part, and during which several shots were fired.
 About ? o'clock, yesterday morning, some prowler began making n tour of South Virginia street, entering every residence into which he could effect an entrance, but leaving without stealing anything, and before he could be de. tccted.
 Arriving at the home of c. s. Male the early morning visitor tried to ef. feet an entrance, and was only fright ened away after Male snapped n pistol three times at him. The pistol was not loaded, however, and the prowlcr made of toward the reservoir, just as Male E son appeared on the scene and fired twice at him with n shot gun. loaded with No. 6 shot, none of the shot talk. ing effect.
 Alarmed at what he thought was n bold attempt at burglary, Males son ran to the home of the noted man. hunter, P. J. Farley, who, crawling from between the warm sheets where he had been snoozing, secured his trusty bmndcrbuss and joined in the chase. Over the hills and far nway the i'm provised posse hunted for the desperate burglar, but no trace of him could bc eound, and at . o'clock in the morning. tired and weary, the man hunters rc. turned to their homes.
 The police, who had also been tcle phoncd for to assist in the chase. had no het'cr luck than the others until later Tn the day, when they discovered that he early morning prowlcr was Thos Nee. who had wandered away from his home while in fit of dcmcntia. Nee hns been slightly unbalanced, mentally for many months, and is considered harmless.

 SUIT IS CALLED
Three Suit Cases. a Hand Satchel And Two Safety Boxes Full of Evidence. Plaintiff Seeks to Break "Accordeon" Aereement--Cause of Suit

said to be the real cause of all the "music" connected with the suit This agreement is sought Co be snnulled by Erkenbrecker, and the Bragg estate desires it annulled as far as Iiisc is concerned.
 voluminous correspondence, mum parties, has been introduced as evi. dencc, much of which is said by the attorneys in the case to be interesting. from a literary standpoint, and filled with unique expressions, equal, if not outclassing, some of Mark Twain's novels.
 The history of the many transactions now being aired dates back 10 1900. when Erkcnbrccker entered into an agreement with IIse to assist him in financing some mining deals. Options were secured on several mining proper ties, and both left for the east, where they got Bragg interested, representing to him, it is alleged, that the purchase price of the mines and water rights was about $3i 1000, all told. Erkon. brccker, it is said, agreed with Bragg to assist him in financing the propo- sitions on the consideration of an inter. est. Bragg accepted, and learned when he came here. it is alleged, that the properties could be purchased for about sd.000. and that the prices men toned in the bonds were fictitious ones. He purchased the properties outright himself, and later entered into the accordeon" agreement with IIise, which Erkcnbrcckcr seeks to annul, claiming that it was done through a violation of his contract with Hise and Bragg.
 After inc introduction of the corrc- spondcncc as testimony the ease was continued until this morning at 9:30 clock.

(From Tuesdays Daily).

With three suit cases, a hand satcbel and two steel safety boxes filled with letters and documentary evidence of every description, the attorneys in the cases of Byron Erkcnbrccker vs. Caius C. Bragg, and John II. Hise vs. Caius C. Bragg, which were consolidated into one suit, appeared in the district court, at 10 o'clock, yesterday morning, when the suit was called.
 Erkenbrcckcr prays in his suit that certain agreement and contract be. tween himself and Bragg and Hise be annulled on the ground that he had been induced to enter into 1t under false representations, and was induced later to release the agreement and con. tract by fraudulent misrepresentation when the President mine, one of the properties in dispute, was later sold to the Central Arizona Mines com. pany. He also asks that receiver be appointed, and his legal rights in the properties, which include twenty.onc patented mines and ranches in the Weaver mountains and vicinity, re- stored.
 IIisc sues Bragg for the sum of s33,9l0 and an undivided onesixth in. terst in the properties, and also prays for the appointment of receiver.
 The properties in dispute are valued by the plaintiffs in the seven figures but peculiar feature of the case i' that the taxes and costs in the approx innate amount of n pal,ry si,000 have not been paid for the past two or three years.

 Wilson started bad, but soon pulled up, allowing only eight hits all told, The apparent trouble was that Ryer couldn't hold him.
 W. Burgett, the heavy hitter of last year, didn't have his good eye with him, Sunday Out of five times up he was handed as many strike outs.
 Every member Of the Phoenix team was loud in his praise of the manner in which they had been treated, even to the allowing of the Athletics man. nger to select the umpire.
 The Athletics showed good team work, which accounts for the Diamond Jos not making as many runs oT their fifteen hits as the Athletics did of eight.
 With change in the lineup and more practice and team work, the Dia' mond Jos should be able to redeem themselves in their next game with Phoenix, May l2.
 Twice Tryon stole home, only to have the batsman swing at the mir, making in both instances, the third out. Tha, boy is a natural thief on bases. Mesa, for Phoenix, accepted every chance at short and never made an CT TOT.
