STORY OF MINER WHO
 SLEPT WITH A SNAKE
CTucson Star.J

J. s. Johnson. who has been work ing at the Imperial mines. about twenty miles out of Tucson, and who arrived in the city yesterday on his way to Goldfield, Nev. gave a recital Of an experience which ordinarily, he said, would turn a mans hair white
 A few nights ago he was awakened by Q peculiar feeling and upon inyes- tigation he saw that a huge rattle snake WIS lying across his neck. As soon as he learned what has caused the uncomfortable feeling. he laid very still, not daring to move, real. izing that the slightest move might cause the reptile to strike at him with his fangs. He says he must have remained in that position for several hours, but as a matter of fact 1t could not have been ten minutes.
 His tent companion was with him, but he did not dare to awake him, fearing any outcrip upon his part might arouse the anger of the snake, so he remained as quietly as possible all the while fearing that he would become the victim of the snakes fe- rocsousness.
 Finally his companion awoke and called to him about some trivial mat ter, when he told him in low tone the predicament he was in. He was then told to take his knife and cut a hole in the tent canvas and jump through as quickly as possible as the snake did not seem to be as lively a one as usual is the case, because of the chill atmosphere.
 He reached beneath his pillow and drew forth his sheath knife and cut ting a slit in the canvas made a sud den jump out of the tent, the snake not having time to coll and make it's accustomed spring at him.
 As soon as he recovered himself he went to a pile of wood nearby and selecting a piece of timber went into the tent and dispatched the rattler. It measured seven feet, two inches. He took the skin off the snake and brought it into Tucson with him and when he reaches Goldfield he will have it preserved

tion has taken. Then the right arm shoots out and fires the gun.
 The story Barnes tells of how he came by the unique idea of inventing coyote alarm, begins nearly thirty years go. when he and a brother trav- ersed the western country in charge or a chuck-wagon in an emigrant train en route for Nevada gold fields. E According to Barnes, while in Utah his wagon was cut off from the rest Of the train one day and detailed to double back on the trail forty-fiye miles to the last supply station.
 It was in the very middle of the desert and there was a suspicion of Indians" l" said Barnes
 After our wagon had covered part of the distance night came and neces- sitated a halt. remember 1t as being aDnormaily quiet at night. There were no trees, no cacti and no scrub oak. The prairie grass was too short even for our hungry horses to nip, so they hung their heads and slept. seem ing to have imblbed the general quiet ude of that desert night.
 "A few minutes to midnight I awoke to find my brother sleeping soundly, although he was supposed to be on guard. He was sitting Indian fashion, his head on his knees.
 T lay few minutes watching him srtiti listening Io ms soiI breathing. i thought it was funny he should have slept on guard and wondered what he would say when I teased him bout st in the morning
 This was while I was rubbing my eyes and trying to get my senses back. The thought of our exposure while my brother slept at his post came next. Cold chills ran down my spine and I jumped to my feet. the desert getting on my nerves. In ny excitement the feeling that the In- dians were upon us came to me with the force of presentiment. The very air seemed unfriend!y
 Then came relief. From a knoll a few rods from the wagon came a SC. ries of short quick barks. followed by the long drawn howl we knew so well, It was coyotes and their message to us was that there were no Indians about camp. It Is well known out west that a coyote never howls when there are moving persons in the neighborhood.
 T have always felt friendly to the coyotes since that night" said MT. Barnes to U. s. Sartin. Minnesota avenue real estate man. to whom he was showing his invention yesterday.
 Five years ago I was in Montana and saw a whole county turn ou in what they called a wolf hunt which developed into a massacre of our Traf- Tie friends It was all because they were molesting the sheep of the vicin- ity. have been working on this ma chine ever since. and it is designed to make the killing of the coyote un- necessary It has been tried and proved a success"
 Barnes says the automaton is his return for the service coyotes ren. dered him in the desert long ago.

 L. J. Overlook never did authorize any of the accounts which have incur red any of the large losses to tn, firm. On the contrary he instructed Duey and Gibbs to accept only ac- counts with collateral to cover them.
 Mir. Overlook withdraws his propo- sition made at the last creditors meet ing and in place the same sub mits the following proposition:
 That he shall pay ten per cent (10TsD of the entire proved indebtedness and guaranteeing further payment of ten per cent (10%) within sixty or ninety days from the date of the first pay ment and to continue the business on capital advanced by him for the bene- fit of the creditors and under the surveillance of your committee. If at any time the judgment of your com mittee the conditions do not justify further continuance, MT. Overlook agrees to discontinue the business and turn over one-third 1-3) of the money advanced by him to run the business and other assets to your com. msttee to be held in trust for the cred. itors and close up by legal process un- der the direction of the court or in such other way as the creditors may decide upon.
 Uuuer Tgs present. COuuIIIons U IS estimated Sy competent author .::aff. ::if.ee 2 that not over thirty-five or thirty seven thousand dollars of the assets of the firm can be realized from, if closed up by the creditors. These as- sets will probably pay to the creditors something like tweyty per cent (20qo) of the proven claims and this statement Will run over a period of at least six months or perhaps longer, that Is If settled by the assignee. If | settled under bankruptcy it will take at least that long to close up the so much greater that the creditors will receive probably less than ten per cent Q095) of their claims
 Your committee has gone into this matter as carefully as time and cir cumstances would permit and We have secured substantial concessions from the original proposition and be lieve it is far better for all concerned to accept the terms offered by MT. Overlook.

MEDALS FOR Heroes
OF SPANISH WAR.
Uncle Sam Trying to Locate
Those Who Helped to Lick
the SpaniardS.

Did you fight with the American
navy or the marines against the
Spanish in the waters of the West
Indies? If SO, you're entitled to a
medal, and if you havn't already
received it, just hold up your hand
and answer Here
The Navy Department. according
to circular posted, is looking for
every man who helped TO whip the
Spaniards, and it has several hundred
medals on hand of which it wishes to
dispose. Heroes who risked their
lives in the service of their country
have been advertised for, but still the
most of them have failed to answer
the honor call roll.
The officials of the Bureau of Nav
igation are anxious to locate all the
former officers of the navy, as well
as the enlisted men, both of the reg
ular and volunteer establishments,
who took part in any of the engage
ments in the West Indian waters.
BY legislative resolution of
March 3, 1901, the Secretary of the
Navy was authorized to issue bronze
medals commemorative of naval en-
gagements in the waters of Cuba dur
ing the Spanish-American war. A
board of awards submitted list Of
engagements which they deemed of
sufficient Importance to commemorate
by awarding medals, but the Secre-
tary enlarged the list so as to in
clude all officers and men who were
under fire in those waters. O.

Negotiations BEGUN
FOR SETTLEMENT
Between Wagon Manufactur-
erS and Union Men Who
Have Been Fired.

j. ID. Wood, of Central City, is in
Owensboro in the capacity of COM
mittee from the labor organizations
to attempt to bring about a settle
ment of the existing disputes between
the Carriage and Wagon Workers
union and the carriage and wagon
manufacturers of Owensboro, says last
Saturdays Owensboro Messenger. He
has begun work along this line, and
believes that he is making progress
toward an amicable and satisfactory
adjustment. Mr.. Wood said last
night that the business men of the
city, or those of them that he has
been able to see thus far,have prom
ised him their support. He is not in
position as yet to report any definite
proposition.
Mr.. Wood is well known in Owens
boro, having for a number of years
been prominent in labor circles. He
comes to Owensboro with letters from
bushes men over the district ,assur-
ing the Owensboro manufacturers
that if they enter into negotiations
with him he will act with the utmost
conservatism and fairness.
The misunderstanding between the
Carriage and Wagon Workers union
and the employers of the members
began several months ago. Shortly
after the organization was formed the
factories closed down and when they
were again opened only non-union
men were employed. a number of
men were thrown out of employment.

COL. GREENE IN NEW COPPER
 DEAL.
Reported That He Is About to
 Form Another Big Company to Operate In Santa Cruz
 Mountains-Great Showing.
Special to Reyiew.)

LA CANANEA, May 4.--Col. W. c. Greene arrived here this afternoon and will be joined here tomorrow by Col. Epes Randolph of Tucson on import ant railroad and mining business. Col. Greene returned here unexpectedly from Chihuahua where it was thought he had gone on business which would require his attention for several days.
 It is reported on good authority that Col. Greene is contemplating launching another big copper company, and the scene of the proposed new operations of this copper magnate is located 27 miles distant from La Cananea in the Santa Cruz mountains about half way between La Cananea and Nogales. Surveyors in the employ of Colonel Greene have been in that locality for several weeks and 5000 pertenepcias have been denounced in kis name. in addition townsite has been surveyed. Those who have visited the new dis trict. state that the mineral showings in Chat section are immense and min ing men state that it is not improbable that the latest acquisition by Greene will some day equal his Cananea hold ings.

When the Phelps-Dodge interests became interested in the mining of copper, they secured the services Of Davis. who had already established q widespread reputation, and for nuln- Der of years he was connected with the subsidiary companies of these in- terests in Bisbee, Clifton and Globe. A few years ago he received an offer from the Canauea Consolidated Cop per Company, which was at that time just beginning to assume the propor- tions of a mining company, and he has since been in their employ
 Naturally during the course of years Davis acquired mining property which has since been developed and justified investments have been such that they now, a. the advanced age of 72 years, make him independent, although he is not possessed of such enormous wealth as native born americans are in the habit of looking upon as comfortable sums.
 When seen by Review reporter and asked for statement, MT. Davis said:
 "Of course I am advancing in years, and it has been almost half cen tury since left my home in. Wales to come to the United States, the great land of promise. During all these years I have naturally acquired deep seated love for the country, which makes me sad in leaving it, but as I realize that In the course of natural events I win not live so many years longer, have decided to return to my old home"

GENERAL TORREs Is ELECTED
 GOVERNOR
Famous Commander of North em Military Zone of Mexico, Becomes Civil Head of Most Progressive State.

HERMOSILL0, Mex, May Alt was announced today that General Luis B. Torres. commander of the Northern Military Zone of the Repub- lie, had been elected to the office Of governor of Sonora, and Senor Cubil- lieutenant governor.
 On account of the many outlying districts and the lack of railroad fa- cilities, the work of counting the vote has been drawn out for several days, and from some of the districts the returns have not yet been made. However the count already makes certain that the general has secured far more than enough votes to insure him the honor.
 General Torres succeeds Governor Yzabel at once, the latter retiring to private life to look after his various interests.
 The election of General Torres to the office of governor of Sonora is looked upon as a great honor which is bestowed in recognition of the val uable service he has rendered to the republic during his long and active military career. Since he has been in command of the army of the North ern Military Zone General Torres has taken person command of many ex. petitions against desperate bands of Yaqui Indians, who had been giving antold trouble to men and officers less acquainted with their cunning and treachery.. In no instance has the general failed in any of his attacks upon the Indians, to whom his name has become a synonym for terror. By his many friends and admirers he has been dubbed "the Fighting Torres"
 There is not any doubt that this most successful military man will bring into the civil government of Sonora the same principles and quail ties which have made him famous as a fighter, and the future of the state is assured.
