SAYS FATHER-|h-LAW
 TRIED TO MURDER
CArizona Republican,

Athing happened in the St. John , Ineighborhood on Wednesday when
 the victim, J. F. Lee. thinks was an attempt at murder He came to town yesterday and swore out warrants for the arrest of his fataer-in-law, J. M. Ragand and Cecil Mentzer,, a step son of the latter.
 Lee. formerly the proprietor of the Gibson stables on West Washington street, called at the court of Justice
 Johnstone yesterday. bringing evi
 6ences of bloody affray. The first was a badly battered head and bruised left forearm with which he had warded off blow with a club. There was a very bloody shirt ana split mesquite club which he said
 had been split by Mentzer by striking him on the head.
 Lee said that he has been having
 good deal of trouble with his father in-law lately over money matters and Ragland had been trying to bring amout separation of Lee and ais wife.
 On Wednesday, Lee said Ragland and Mentzer came to his plac and
 met him outside of the house. Rag
 land asked Lee why he had not paid a certain note which he had given to a
 man in Phoenix some months before
 Though Ragland had no interest what ever in the note. Lee took the trouble to tell him that the note had been
 paid and was already in his posses' sion. He furthermore offered. If II would be of any satisfaction to him | to let him see the note
 Ragland then called him liar and
 advanced upon him. Mentzer sprang | in ahead and aimed a blow at Lee
 with a heavy mesquite club. Lee
 warded 1t off but the force of the blow threw him back and before he could
 recover himself Mentzer again struck l nil1. this time knocking him down. He then stood over him beating him with the club, until he split it, threatening ' all the time that he meant to XII aim l Mrs. Lee in the meantime came ou' | and begged Mentzer to stop striking | her husband who was then dazed and laimost unconscious. Again Mentzer said that he was going to beat aim tc death. Mrs. Lee ran into the hou5e land returned with a shotgun when | Mentzer ran off.
 What happened after Lee was on the ground and stunned by the blows
 Mentzer was raining upon him is tolc in a letter from the wife of Lee to the i justice of the peace in which she believed that Mentzer would have
 killed her husband If she had not In tervened with the shot gun. Lee was so badly hurt that he was unable to come to town that day and
 make a complaint. In making 1t he
 offered another possible but highly
 sensational motive on the part of his
 father-in-law for wishing him out of
 the way.
 1 Warrants were issued for both Ment i ger and Ragland and were put into tho hands of Constable Murphy who sooT after picked Mentzer up on the stree'
 and took him to jail. On the way 1 Mentzer made no other statement re
 garding the affair taan that there wal another side to it. | The case may come before the grand fury today though efforts were under way last night among the neighbors O Iboth Ragland and Lee to bring abou'
 a settlement which might at least re duce the case from felony to mis demeanor.

ROBBERY OF
 MEXICAN BANK
 IS CLEARED UP
Boys Located Who Tell the Officers All the Particulars Bank Will Lose Only $2,000 Out of $100,0 900.

CHIHUAHUA, Mex, Nov. 1.-The latest phase of the now famous rob bery of the Banco Minero is that the authorities have now in jail Jose Del gado, 16-year-oid lad who took the letters with the 100 thousand-peso bills cut into four pieces to Juarez early in May last end posted the let ters in which the pieces of bills were enclosed. one to the then acting gov ernor, Jose NJ. Sanchez, one to Judge Martin Norman, one to Lac.s Joaquin Cortazar and the ftglrth to Si.vestre Terrazas, editor of EI Correo, and all of this city.
 It appears that the boys who rob bed the bank. Noises Navarro, Nigel Molinar and Martin Mateus asked young Delgado to take the letters to Juarez and post them. They told him that it was joke they were playing. Evidently, when young Delgado re turned and found what he had really done he was afraid to divulge his part in it. It will be remembered that the return of the 100000 pesos as stated with the alleged history of the crime written to Silvestre Terrazas, created great sensation .t the time.
 Navarro admits that he wrote the letter to Silvessre Terrazas. On Judge Ramos expressing his doubts of the boys ability to write such a romance, Navarro asked his honor 10 name a subject and he (Navarro) would show what he could do in that line It is said Judge Ramos gave | the subject and that the lad has prov en his ability as 4 romancer.
 It is said that three boys say that they spent only about 2009 pesos out of the ,15.000 still uncovered. They say that the bills sIi became so in- jured in the moist stable where they hid them that the talance, probably about 13,000 pesos were ruined, so that they burned them.
 It is said that the authorities are now convinced that the mystery Of the robbery is completely solved and thas the bank will be loser only to the amount of about 2000 pesos ali told. '.. 2 RF

Some would say it would be inpos"i- ble to make the bicycle any more use ful by the application of power, that the bicycle was made for exercise, etc. the time not having arrived when bi. cycles were used for any other put bose. Others would say that they would be afraid they could not stop is when they wanted to, and 1t would go like a runaway horse, aud 5e iikeiy to kill the rider, etc. Such a type of people, although admitting the pcssr bility of rapidity is really the one tha' retards the wheels of progress.

Accustomed EI rule In her kingdom Of a hundred square miles, with a legion of uIU4lur at command, the young woman has ac- complished feats of courage and en- Gurance of which the bravest among men might be proud, and yet has lost none of the charms Of the eternal fem ! inine

 On her last birthday she gave a fete. Seventy-five pack mules conveyea the luxuries of her home into the wilds of the land. One hundred ser wants went along to do her bidding. At an altitude of 5000 feet a camp was erected with tents that were fur nished in Rococo style for herself and a few chosen guests.
 Tt was the most natural thing in the world" said Frau Ihle, suppressing "a yawn. we had all that was nee essary carried to us from Mexico City Every week 8 specially con. structed wagon brought two tons of ice and fresh meats. We drank cham pagne after the hunt and enjoyed the good things of the world, though we seemed removed from it by thousands of miles.
 My men worked three days to build the bath. We had to change the course of a river and erect two high dams to make the bathing pool The gentlemen bathed in the evening and we in the morning.

 Tales of romantic adventure among the golden meadows of "A Thousand and One Nights" are like nursery prose compared to the realism in the experiences of Frau Olga Ihle, queen of picturesque estatee in the wilds of the Mexican mountains.
 Frau Ihle is a guest at the Alex andria Hotel. She is travelling in the UuIted States, bcC aus" she 1nas had a touch of ennui in the fragrant solitude of her mountains near Santa Rosalia.

 Yesterday she telegraphed to firm in Fl Paso asking that an automopiiG be held in readiness there to convey her into Mexico. The answer was that the trip would cost her $500, bur Frau Ihle thought nothing of that ana the order for the motor car was giver by return wire.
