 tering the Blows.

 On returning from the city prison to the hotel Judge Cochran encoun- tered a friend of Jenkins, who round. Iy scored him for his action.

DISAPPEARANCE
 IS CAUSING ANXIETY
Young Men, Formerly of Pres
 colt, Leave for Southern
 Portion of Terfitoy-Haye Not Been Heard From Since.

One of the strangest cases which has been heard of for some time past is that of the disappearance of two brothers from the northern DOT Ion of the territory. and the lncA of in- formation in regard to their where abouts. The young men in question are the two Linn brothers. Harry and Earle, who formerly resioed in Pres colt, but have not been heard of for several raonths.
 Yesterday morning City Marshal Snodgrass received a letter from a friend of the family in Phoenix, who requested that the police of this city take the matter up as there was some ground for suspicious of foul play.
 The letter stated that both of the young men had been employed in Prescott for some time and that ou October 31st, they each had months salary amounting to a considerable sum, coming to them. On the first day of November they drew their money and left Prescott, stating that they intended to go to Tucson but would stop off at Phoenix to attend the territorial fair. which took place early in November.
 This was the last seen of the young men by their friends in Prescott, and a short time ago Chas. l. Ice. of Phoenix, received a letter from the parents of the young men asking hIm to furnish any information he could obtain as to the whereabouts, as no word had been received from either for more than three months.
 Ice states in his letter to Snodgrass that he has had the police of Phoenix. Tucson and Prescott working on the case, but that up to date not tue slightest trace of the brothers has been found.
 On-account of the age of the young men and the fact that ..as cores bonded with their relatives regularly, it is believed that unless they had met with some serious misfortune, they would have notified their folks of their whereabouts during the past couple of months. Fearing that the young men have met with some dire calamity, the parents asked that every effort be ezerted to obtain In- formation in regard to them.

CONDEMNS aHoocHeE coocHEE."


 ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 1.-That wanton feat of the muscles alluded to by modest schoolmen as the dance du Yentre," but known in common speech as ''hoochee koochee," has been stoutly condemned py the Farm CTS National union. now convened in Atlanta.
 This action was taken by the agri- culturalists this afternoon after a dis cussion, in which several delegates from Texas and Arkansas gave graph ic limitations of the scandalous con tortion All present were highly in- terested, and at the cnd Of the per formance the delegates declared by unanimous vote that the hoochee koo- chee should not be done at state fairs to which the Farmers union contribu- ted funds.
 Campbell Russell, who is known far and wide for his farm out iu the In dian Territory, where he raises cows, introduced the motion that the hoo chee koochee girl be barred from the fair grounds. MT. Russell spoke with fervor on the demoTaliz.ug influences of this outrageous act. He pictured the enticement of this up-to-date sir en in such forcefuI language that Cne delegate from Missouri, rose and asked:
 What do. you mean by the hoo chee koochee' dancer"
 Then in response to the Missouri ans question, the performance al ready mentioned WAS given. That settled it.
 "ScandaIous," Holy Moses" By Gosh, wouldn't have dreamed 1t, land a woman too"
 These and similar exclamations buzzed around the hall. and two min utes later the vote of denunciation had been passed.

The influx from Hawaii to the Pacific
Coast mainland is steadily growing. The

that influences in the Northwest are re-
sponsible for the movement Of the Japa-
nese in this direction. and that an investi-
cation now in USogress viii show that
many japanese aliens are coming 20 the
United States in violation Of the contract
labor laws.
Advices from Texas state that 2.1S-
Japanese recently arrived at Mazatlan,
Mexico. and that they are headed for the
American border. Il appears that certain
enterprises in Mexico are engaged fin ef-
forts 10 induce Japs to settle in that
country, and that the passage Of the inn
migrants is paid from Japan TO ports in
Mexico Conditions in Mexico are not
satisfactory TO the japanese, and a great
majority Of them eventually come 20 the
United States. There is reason 10 believe
that serious effort will be made "a
