The Brownsville Assault.

An interesting and probably important contr1bu-
ton relating to the mysterious Brownsville Texas,
shooting affair is contained in the September number
Paine
The Brownsville affair had for its date the night
of August 18TH 1906. The participants were mem
bers of the 25th (co1ored) United States infantry
three companies of that regiment being in garrison
at Fort Brown, which is surrounded by the city OF
Brownsville One man was killed, another wounded
and scores of live placed in jeopardy. The colored
soldiers marched through portion of the city shoot
ing at will
The affair has assumed national Importance, on
account of the discharge without honor of the entire
Brownsville garrison three companies OF negro
soldiers by order of President Roosevelt who said
he was unable to separate the guilty from the in
nocent So he punished them all.
The public understanding of the case has been that
the authorities military and civil found it impossible
to fasten the crime upon individual members of the
companies. Judgment has divided as to the Justice
of the penalty imposed by the president, with tend
ency to overlook his impulsve action on account
of the mystery surrounding the transaction
But Mr. Paines story shows that whatever there
was of mystery surrounding the assault upon
Brownsville was quickly cleared away by the nvestl-
cations of Captain William J. Mcdonald, of the
Texas rangers. man of official standing under the
laws of the state
Mr. Paine says it was we'll enough known to the
authorities of Brownsville to the state authorities

CHAIRMAN ANDERSON
 OA INSTRUCTIONS
Says Northern Arizona Is For Free and Unhampered
 Delegation To Chicago,

PHOENIX. Feb. 13.-Chairman Le Roy Anderson of the Anti7Ioint State hood League arrived in the city from Prescott yesterday morning to meet Mrs. Anderson who is returning from two months visit with her parents, Captain and Mrs. Thomson of Ha- vana, Cuba. She had & very pleasant
 visit and pleasant journey both go- | ing and returning.
 In the course of conversation about political msitters, MT. Anderson
 was asked regarding the sentiment in 1 the northern part of the territory as | to the instruction or the delegates from Arizona to the national repub- lican convention.
 He replied: Every one in northern Arizona, except those directly inter ested in the present administration, l is in favor of an uninstructed delega- | ton. I have talked to many of the
 republicans of tae north and l have found no one among the leading re pubHcans, with exceptions have men. tioned, who is in favor of instructions 1 Every one there favors compliment
 ary vote to Senator Foraker and after 1, that, an effort on the part of our del egates to secure some rights for Ari' zona, instead of some offices for 3 1 favored few.
 We remember how every one, the
 children in the public schools, the cat tlemens association, the city councils
 the county boards, the boards of i trade, the bar association, the teach.
 CTS society, the territorial legislature. the political parties, all, everybody,
 every association and society of what ever name or nature, petitioned and
 resolved against joint statehood. And
 I also remember where we sent those
 resolutions and petitions, and who heard and needed them, Senator For i aker.
 ' 'I believe it means more to Arizona
 to show to the world that we are
 grateful to those who have been good to us, even though it does nvt In- ! crease the chance of those now in or
 flee to remain there, or the chance
 of some others to secure office. {; ''The suggestion has been made by newspapers and others that Judge i Sloan is an applicant for the position
 of delegate to the national convention. ] | not know whether he is or not, but 1 do not believe he is. I see no reason 1 why he should be. He is one of the i-finestTlen in Arizona and one or the l finest men I have ever met. There | isn't thing in the nature of a judicial position or any other position of im- ! portance and responsibility which the i people of this territory would not
 want him to have Every republican
 know of is for Judge Sloan. But
 do not sac how he could afford to
 mix in factional fight or stand for 1 the position of an instructed delegate. | In such course, he would have everything to lose and nothing to gain, for as long as he wishes to re- main on the bench, no matter Who IS president, know there isn't repub- lican in his district, or in Arizona Ior
 that matter, wao would not be for him."

taking an active interest in the N. G. A." he proudly remarked today. "I am very glad of that, and it means in creased efficiency in the organization. trust that the militia under my di reetion will continue to grow and i'm prove as it has in the past
 In all probability the office of in spector of small arms practice will be combined with that of adiutant general now. Major Coggins stated today that ne would be extremely sor- ry to give up the place he has held for so long, but believes that as adiutant general he will be in much better position to encourage rifle practice.
 Adjutant Coggins now holds as many officers as anyone in Paoenix. The office of adjutant general carries with it the rank of colonel and the holder thereof is also chief of staff to the governor. ordnance officer, quartermaster general. commissary general, judge advocate general and paymaster general All of these of fees are combined with that of ad jutant Tn addition, Adjutant Coggins is mayor of Phoenix. treasurer of the Y.

Finding Himself Cheated, Aus trian Hikes From New Mex

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 13-Because a contractor in Lynn, N.

 Nogga was a dilapidated-looking specimen of humanity when he reacn- ed the city attorneys office. His shoes. which seventeen days ago were heavy and brand new. were worn through to the feet and the heels completely gone.
 On January 14." said Nogga my self and seven other men werc aip- ped out by this employment ncy to Lynn, N. M. The firm had ad- vertisement on a blackboard ring that men were wanted there z S2 a day. We paid s3 each for t. job and left here at D. m.

but if we waited a day longer he would give us only SIPS a day" Nogga says he was also informed that he wsald have to pay s5 a week board in the boarding car, that he must take two blankets at $2 each, and have 75 cents a week deducted from his pay as hospital fees. He remained at the camp over night and announced his intention of leaving. Then he was informed that as he had enjoyed the hospitality of the camp for night and had partaken of the choice" food, he would have to work one day anyway, or get both his legs broken with a pick handle in the hands of a stern boss.
 The Austrian said he had the sense to leave under cover" He had $50 with him, his savings of months, after he had paid s for tae job. Nogga started home on foot, passing through Trinidad, Lajunta and Caddoa, Colo, 8 mountainous country. He slept out of dors at Lamar, Colo, Jan. IT. He walked the tracks by day and built fire at night, often suffering from the cold and hunger. He was saving a small sum of money to take him into Kansas City, when he felt that le could walk no further. The time came when he reached Emporia, Kan, after enduring great hardships. He had s2.S0 left and s270 of that he paid for ticket to Kansas City, arriving seventeen days after his departure. He walked fourteen of the seventeen days.

 ARRESTED AT NoGAlEs

NOGALES, Ariz., Feb. BE. L. Crowell, cashier of the United States customs house at Nogales, was arrest. ed in this town yesterday afternoon on warrant charging him with em. bezzlement of s$2U00.
 He was taken before United States Commissioner F. Villains. He waived a preliminary hearing and was held in $5000 bonds to await the action of the grand jury. He was unable to fur nish this sum and spent the night in the Santa Cruz county jail He has not been able as yet to secure the required bond.
 The arrest of Crowell created a great sensation in Nogales, as ne is very favorably known here, having been a resident of this town for the past three years.
 He Is about 45 years old and is married and has two children. Crow ell and his wife during their resi- dence here have been quite prom nent in church work and they moved in the highest social circles D the town.
 Crowells alleged shortage is said to have been discovered following a special auditing of his books and ms arrest was caused by Special Officer West or the customs service.
 It is reported here that CrowelI was interested in promoting a mining deal which gave promise of excellent returns, but which was declared of following the financial furry, with considerable less to Crowell It is also said that his alleged embezzle- ment extends over a period from Juiy of last year to February of this year. During this time Collector Myron H McCord was compelled to be out of the city for considerable period and Deputy Collector Griswold was also absent a good share of the time, leaving Crowell in practical charge of the office.

TUCSON BLACK
 PEOPLE WANT
 THEIR TENT
CoIored Exhorter Charged With SWiping the Canvas When He Got Through With His Old Pueb.o Revival.

TUCSON, Feb. 13.-The color sd brethren of Tucson are in d bad way and they do not know exactly aow to get out of it, it ali being due to the faoE that the prevalence of a germ of arc sny i'll the air has infected one of the preachers of the gospel of dusky hue, to the great confusion and cha. grin of his erstwhile flock
 Some time back the local colored Methodists imported an Etaoplssn A horter, by the name of Humphrey. a man of the cloth and reputed to be a powerful persuader of sinners to re. pentance. Revival was all the talk. and accordingly the good church going men got together and purchased a tent of Dealer Gohring.
 The tent was put in a suitable place and, night after night, Rev. Humparey, with a great deal of cruds eloquence and much verbosity, held forth to the wicked upon the ebony error of their ways. His ministra- tions and exhortations were not with out effect for he brought many into the ways of righteousness, and the con. verts soon got so numerous that only the better educated of the original flock could keep track of them.
 Finally, as all good things do, the meeting drew to a close. Rev. Humphrey felt felt called to u,uer fields of labor. and regratfulIy the brethren attended the last meeting. Never was their evangelist in finer voice or more of a flaming sword than then. The meeting broke up in an ecstatic spirit and the Rev. Humph- rey was the real Black Moody of Arizona
 Announcement was made that he was going to the extreme southwest ern part Of he territory, there uu ,un. tinue his revival work.
 He went-but with him if seems went the tent. At any rate they both disappeared, and it was learned later that Rev. Humphrey at the other place of labor had not been forced to l make the brethren put up for a tent for the reason that he had ons with him.
 All sorts of rumors came back to l the local church. One was thaL Its was continuing to convert the wicked under the spell of his stolen canvas and his fire eating eloquence. while l the other was that he was putting on diminutive one-ring circus. So the members of the household of Faith went yesterday to see the au- thorities about it. They said that l they mad beeS- in communication with | the bishop of their denomination and that they had been unable to get him to come to Tucson. They expected to visit on Rev. Humphrey the dire ca lamity- of communicating him, but even then they still wanted the tent. The fact that ha reverend tent swiper was going to be cast into outer dark ness did not restore their yards of white duck They wers advised to raise a sum of money sufficient to defray the ex. penses or one of them to Bisbee and let him go there with a search war rant for the tent and bring it back, if he could find it.
 Meanwhile Rev. Humphrey will be permitted to enjoy it, and the only fear that the officers have fs that he will preach powerful sermon when the warrant arrives and persuade the delegate that he is doing more good with the tent than the brethren Of Tucson could hope to accomplish.

ABOUT TIE NEW
 ADJUTAAT GENERAL
CogginS Has Been a Member of the Ariozna Militia
 Since 1893.
(Phoenix Gazette.)

Lewis w. Coggins, Mayor of Phoe- nex and instructor of small arms prac- tice for the National Guard of Arizona, was today appointed adjutant general of the territory by Governor Kibbey.
 The news of Major Coggins' ap- pointment to this responsible position will be received with general satis- faction. As inspector of small arms practice, he knows almost every man n tue Arizona militia personally. There was never more popular Of ficer in the N. c. A.
 Adjutant General Coggins enlisted n Company B. of Phoenix, May 19, 1893. From the very first he took a most active interest in the welfare of the company and in practice shouc- ing. On Nov. 15 of that same year he was advanced to the position of ser geant, and on Oct. IS, 1894, was com missioned as first lieutenant. April II, 1896 he was elected captain of Company B.
 His active interest in shooting caused him to be appointed inspector If small arms practice on August 13. 1898. This office carries with 1t the dhh SA HAdIOf f1t Htiu tffc position until Alexander o. Brodie became gov ernor. During Governor Brodue's ad- ministration the N. G. A. had no in- spector of small arms practice as none was appointed. But when Jo- seph H. Kibbey was advanced to the executive chair of the territory, Major Coggins was again given charge of small arms shooting, which position he has held since
 The last adjutant general of the territory was Benjamin W. LeaEell, whose death last summer caused vacancy in that office. Since that time Col. J. H. McClintock has been acting adjutant general and has dis charged the duties of the position ably and efficiently. Governor Kib- bey has had the matter of a perma- nent appointment under advisement for some time, and his decision to ad- vance Major Coggins is a most pop ular one

BERGER HAD 4
 KEY; COULDN'
 BURGLARIzE
So the Man Who Got Away with Diamonds and JeweIry In Tucson Calls It a Breach Of Trust.

TUCSON. Feb. 13.-"I did not com init 8 burglary. It was only breach of trust. Any reports to the contrary are false and misleading"
 This was the statement, whiea Karl Berger, who ransacked Dietrich's s Jewelry store, gave out in the county jail He appeared to be quite indig- nant that he had been accused of bur glary.
 How could l commit a burglary when ! slept in the store and had a key to the place" he asked with strong emphasis on the word bur glary."
 T did not force any window nur break in any door. l had the key to the place and entered regularly. It was only a breach of trust. This is all and there is nothing more that I will say"
 Berger had previously reiterated that he was intoxicated at the time and did not know what he was doing.
 It has been found that there are several hundred dollars worth of dia- monds which Berger stole from Diet, rich's store still missing. These dia- hiOiluS were SSJ HI ifuSo- !" Hat DC- came of them could not be learned. Berger contends that he did not sell any of the valuables he took from the place, but the fact that some of the goods are missing makes his stuiy appear doubtful.
 Berger, had he desired, could have shot the Yuma officers who arresteo him. There were six officers who met No. g. the passenger train on which he rode to Yuma. With the description whica had been wired them the officers had lit tie difficulty in recognizing their man l He carried the satchel with the valua blas in his right hand. This valise at ! tracted the attention of the officials more than the man himself. While the officers were examining the grip Berger put his hand to his | hip pocket In this pocket he had a gun. Undar sheriff Reilly of Yuma county, who was one of the party oi officers, happened to look at Berger I and notics4 the iatter's hand in his hip pocket. 1 What are you trying to do" he asked Berger.
 "Why I have gun here and want to give it to you," Berger replied quietly.
 And be careful with it, because the thing is loaded and it may ex plode and shoot you" he added as l5 handed the weapon to the officer.
