of the forward trucks. one axle in each of the tender trucks was bent. but un- doubtedly as a result of the wreck IL was therefore impossible to determine definitely that the obstruction which caused the derailment came from the tender. but the inference seems fair that 1t was the rear truck of the tender and the forward truck of the baggage car which took the wrong side of the points and that the ob- struction fell from the tender.
 The engineer of the train states that he shut off steam at the curve about one-half mile east of the viaduct, which is several hundred feet east of the point of derailment. and was drift ing down to the station; that after en- zine passed over switch he felt jerk and immediately applied his air brakes in emergency position.

THE CITY IAktSCONTROL
 OF THE WAFER WORkS|
The Last Final and Formal Step in
 the Transfer Was Taken Last Niaht.

The plant of the Phoenix Water company passed actually and formally into the possession of the city last night and its management of the sys- tenn began at midnight. At a meeting of the city council Attorney L. H. Chalmers presented the title deeds which had been signed by General sherman and brought here the day be- fore by Superintendent Mitchell from Los Angeles. certified creek for ssO, 900 of the s15o.0oo purchase price was put into the possession of MT. Mitchell and at midnight the plant came into the management of Super intendent Craig for the city.
 The salaries of the employees of the water company had been paid to the first of the month. but after midnight the oil used and all other expense i'm cured began to be borne by the city.
 The title deeds cover the plant. the franchises. the registers. the maps and the plats and in fact everything apper- taining to the system. Mir. Chalmers expressed the utmost qualification at the end of his labors which were be- gun a little more than a year ago. To be exact it was on May 15 that meet ing General Sherman in Los Angeles he took with him on his own motion the advisability of selling the system to the city. He had some difficulty in bringing Gen. sherman to his way of thinking and he had still more diff ficulty in reconciling the city to the project. But at last the parties were brought together and the trouble which had existed over the water works for nearly ten years were ended. He is much more than satisfied with his years work. though he believes that the city has been benefited by 1t in greater degree than he himself has been.
 Superintendent Mitchell will re- main in the city for an indefinite pe- riod in charge of the street railway system and the other interests of Gen. eral Sherman here. After the sale of the water works had been agreed up- on MT. Mitchell arranged to go to Cal ifornia. leaving Mir. Craig in charge Of the railway. But his plans- were dis arranged by the election of MT. Craig to take the management of the water works for the city.
 After taking over the water works the city council proceeded to i'll a vacancy in the new department, by electing Ned Creighton, assistant su- perintendent and chief clerk.
 The only other business Of the council was to increase the salary or Street Superintendent Griggs Carr, to Sl25 month.

DULL WEEK IN PROSPECT. FOR THt CITY OF PHOENIX
Tia. Part of the PopuIaee Not Going
 to Tempe Will Go to Prescott.

The indications are that one can go along the streets of Phoenix this week without being crowded off into the gutter by large and excited throngs. There will be jUst enough people left in the city to comply with the law and prevent the jumping of the site by residents of Tucson who it Is un- derstood are contemplating the re- moval of the land office.
 Phoenix is about to pay the penalty of not having a Fourth of July cele- hration. The attractions in other towns. Tempe and Prescott. are so strong that it would be unreasonable to expect anybody to remain at home who can get away. Then beside. Tempe is attractively near and a rail- road has been made that only exceeds by a little the cost of riding a city block.
 The Tempe celebration will last for only one day but it is to be a full day beginning with a barbecue in the morning and lasting through an elab crate display of fireworks at night. There will though be much more than the fireworks and the barbecue. For instance. there will be the crowd, one of the largest ever assembled in the county. There will be dancing all day and as long at night as anybody cares to dance in an elegantly prepared pa vilion. There will be the usual patri- otic speeches and exercises necessarily incident to an observance of the day.
 Prescott is not so conveniently near but that fact will be to it's advantage in the minds of many Phoenicians. The farther they can go within req sonable limits the better it will suit them and the happier they will be. They will have a change of climate for one thing and then in addition they can celebrate for three days for Prescott has made preparations for a regular Fourth of July carnival. The great event will be the ceremonies at- tendant upon the unveiling of the Rough Rider monument which after many vicissitudes and a delay of for ty-two days, reached Prescott on Fri day evening. The fact that it got there

AUSTIN NAVAJO SHOT
 Al Fl. MDOWtll
A Apache Indian Who Preferred Death on the Reservation to Banish- nent by Government Order.

There was a homicide at Fort Me DoweH yesterday afternoon, of which only meager particulars have been re- ceived. One Apache Indian was wounded by another and he in turn was killed, but whether by one Indian or an entire posse of them, has not been learned here yet. The news of the shooting was received here last night by a telephone message from the Arizona head and Coroner JohnstOne, Deputy Sheriff Jeff Adams and phy- sician from the Indian school, left for McDoweH by automobile, for the pUr- pose of holding an inquest and leIIn- ing all the facts possible. They took along a kodak to use in the event the circumstances suggest the need of pic lures for later use in court or any where else.
 Austin Navajo IS the name Of the dead Indian and he was an Apac..e notwithstanding his name is 'N4ya O. !" He seems to have been one Of those Indians for whom like a great many whites, "a little learning is a danger ous thing" for he attended Cdr.isie university for a time, thouhg he never graduated. He had, however very good command of English and it does not seem possible that he could have been acting under any nisapprehen- sion in the events which I'd to his death.
 Superintendent Goodman has super vision over the Mcdowell reservation its direct care being under Rev. w. H. Gill as a sub-agent. For a long time the natives have been divided somewhat into two factions. socially and morally, one faction being peace able and industrious and well ordered. while the other was ooisterous and quite given to drinking. gambling and general disorder. The better class had appealed strongly to the su5-agent for the removal from the reservation Of certain of the disorderly element, among whom was Austin Navajo. ac- counted about the worst one in the lot and something of a leader. These facts were laid before Supt. Goodman who in turn laid the matter before the Indian bureau and was directed to re- move the objectionable characters.

HEREFORD CATTLE SALE.
Auction of ''Sunny Slope White Faces
at EmporIa.

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 4.-Three hun
dred and twenty-five head of Sunny
Slope white face cattle were sold at
auction yesterday afternoon at the San
ia Fe stockyards. The cattle were sold
in lots of ten. The highest price
Thought by any lot was S45 a head.
From that the price ranged down to $50
head for registered stock. A few lots
of unregistered stock brought less
The heaviest buyer was B. Sutton, of
Madison, who had bought six of the
eleven lots sold.
All of the cattle sold were fN.om the
Monkey ranch, near Garden 10y. The
stock was bought originally from
Charles Cross and c.. A. Stannard by
Mr.. Monkey. who later went out of the
cattle business and sold his Herefords
back to Mr.. Stannard. The cattle had
been on poor pasture for several months
and were in bad condition for a sale
If they had been fat and had been sold
one at time, instead of in los, many
of the animals would doubtless have
brought what whole pens sold for, In
fact. one cow included in lot that sold
for $3.50, was bought from Mr., Stannard
by Mr.. Monkey for $3.50 and another COW
from Wild Tom, included in the lot that
sold for $3.50, was sold to Mr.. Monkey
for 1850. Cattle experts say, however,
that for the condition the cattle were

THE VIADUCT CONTRACT
VIII Be Awarded Next Week to To-
peka Company.

The contract for the reconstruction
of the East Sixth avenue viaduct will
be let next week to the Topeka Bridge
company for $13,957.50. This state
ment was given authorization by
Mayor w. H. Davis.
The conference with the Santa Fe
and Missouri Pacific officials for aid
has gotten along to such satisfactory
point that the mayor announced today
that the necessary aid from these two
roads would be forthcoming. Yi1
I think that the Missouri Pacific
and Santa Fe will do better than S.
600. The Santa Fe will doubtless give
more than the Missouri Pacific be-
cause the viaduct is built across more
of its tracks, said Mayor Davis.
The street railway company agrees
to give $4,000 and repair their right
of way on the bridge at an additional
expense of about $4,000. With $4,000
coming from the street railway and
upwards of $4,000 from the other two
roads, the city will not be compelled
to raise to exceed $4,000.
The viaduct has been closed to traf-
fic for the past six months, greatly to
the inconvenience of the people resid-
ing in East Topeka. 1t was pro-
nounced dangerous by the city engi-
neer and ordered closed. The iron
work had been. eaten and rusted away
by smoke from passing locomotives.
The whole structure will practically
be entirely rebuilt.
