Old Soldier Drowned

The body of Henry Miller was found in the sand of the bed of the Salt River, four miles south west of Phoenix Saturday. Miller was 62 years old and a veteran of the Civil war. He recently re- gently secured some money on his back pension, add three days ago left supposedly to prospect in the Superstition Mountains, forty. miles away. There were bruises suggesting violence, but there is no water in the lungs, and a rope around the body suggests the pos sibility that he might have been murdered and thrown into the river. He had little more than $500 and left most of it with the justice of the peace before leaving the city. He had no family.

The boys of Ameri "a will st ely
 say that the March American Boy

Adams vs. Alexander

As the result of a violent en- counter in the lobby of the Horel Adams in Phoenix Monday, Uni ted States District Attorney J. l.. B, Alexander was knocked down by Proprietor Adams of the hotel. The trouble arose from dispute about certain actions of the Ari- zona legislature. Alexander de- clared the members of the council were lot of "slobs," and were all purchasable by the railroads. Adams resented the charge and said there was not man in the council who could be influenced by the railroads. Alexander then placed Adams in the same class with the "slobs. Adams promp- tly retaliated with the knockout blow. Friends separated the two men and more serious results were averted. The fight caused con siderable excitement around the hotel.

SHAkE-uP FOR
CHICAGO POLICE

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The Tribune says:
A report on police conditions in
Chicago, similar to the one with which
Captain Alexander Piper electrified
the New York department two years
ago, Is being prepared by investiga-
tors for the Young Mems Christian
association.
As result the police department IL
threatened with a shake up. From
statements made by one of the in
vestigators the nature of the unified
charges became known. The alleged
inefficiency of the department and
it's connection with vice form the
groundwork Of the report.
Detectives brought In from other
cities have been working quietly for
directors Of the association for moro
than a month and no suspicion OF
their presence In the city leaked out,
The work has been confined prin-
cipally to the south and north sides
with some investigation Of the down
town districts. particularly the dis
orderly hotels.
The startling feature of the report
promises to be an expose Of the First
ward levee syndicate, leading up from
police noginteIfefence and regular
graft to the dive keepers and politics
ians who head 1t.
