Quiet, But Determined.

These fishermen in Tennessee are
quiet folk, but very determined. They
live from twenty to forty miles from
a railroad, and are illiterate. They
have their idea of right, and of
their necessities, and it looked to
them as if their very lives were being
threatened. They acted in self-de-
Tense, and in so doing have done the
thing that the law must condemn.
No wonder the state, to them. seems
the protector of the strong, the rich
and the oppressor. That is why they
have taken the law in their own
hands.
Few if any, of these have had
anything to do with the night riding
where tobacco and farm products
were concerned in Tennessee and
Kentucky. But it is not unlikely
that there are agitators engaged in
the one who took opportunity to in
still the spirit of anarchy and resist
ence into these honest men of the
fisheries. They have sinned griev-
ously. but through whose fault?
Major Harris was compelled long
since to leave the lake country He
sold his rights to the West Tennessee
Land Company, in which Col r. u.
Taylor and Capt Q. c. Rankin were
large shareholders.

les. They were in contempt of court,
but they could not be caught, and if
caught could not convicted of con-

not testify against each other
Then the owners went over to
Gibson county, short distance away,
induced Capt. Q. c. Rankin, the same
who died at the hands of the
night riders, then in the legislature,
to present and have passed a bill re-
quiring the fishermen to take license
from the owners of the lake. If a
man took license and fished the Ii
cense was e"idence, and by the fish
ing he was IN contempt of court
Thus the fishermen resisted the au-
thOFity of the state. They regarded
it as wrong, just as the Galvestonian
would regard it if some man sould
claim the bay and dispute the right
of the fishermen to make a living
in the fashion they have followed for

Think of a man, with feet peeping through his shoes, with an old ragged shirt, clothing in a chronic state of warning with itself, with 30 cents in his pocket and a complete lack of acquaintance with either a barber or a soap factory, leaving Tucson at s o'clock at night without even 3 ham sandwich to eat or block of wood as a pillow in prospect for him. Of course they were sent out with big, warm supper tucked under their belt.
 Walking is mighty DOT for tramps in the east, where there is a town every five or ten miles, but a man would have to have Edward Payson Weston skinned a city block on pe- destrianism if he could hoof it out of Tucson at night and not be afraid he would strave to death before he could get to a town biz enough ir afford the prospect of @ meal. Ina, sort of an unfortunate appreciate, more than anybody what is meant when it is boastingly urged that Arizona is a country of magnificent distances.
 And the brakemen who work the freights are proveTbially unkind. Jail or O'Donnen was punishing them worse by giving them their walking papers than he would have been to have kept them in jail until March but most of them seemed pleased to hit the grit that lies to the eastward

HUNDRED LAND SUITS
 WILL BE CONTINUED
Santa Fe Hears That Compro- mise Will Attorneys
 Go To Washington.

SANTA FEE. N. M.. Jand. 29.-Pey- ton Gordon. who came to Santa Fe some months ago with Ormsby Mo Harg, as special assistant to the at torney general of the United States. to have charge of certain land fraud and other prosecutions in New Mexico win leave tomorrow night for Wash ington, with his family, and it is not expected that he will return to the territory, but like Mir. McHarg, will be assigned to other work. MT. Cor. don has done some effective work while in New Mexico. and his visit has been of distince value. His con viction of two men for jury fixing alone would have made his stay worth while, even though these two men were but tools, and the object lesson will be lasting benefit.
 Other work in which Mir. Gordon has had a part has been chiefly in connection with territorial lands and government coal lands. These mat ters are still beofre the courts and VII be left the hands of the United States attorney for New Mexico
 In this connection Santa Fe has heard rumor today to the effect that recent efforts to secure settlement of the territorial land cases have proven unsuccessful, and that the United States attorney has received instructions to proceed with these cases. This report can not be con firmed from any official source tonight, and it not generally accepted, as 1t has been the impression heretofore and for several weeks past that these suits would be settled out of court through the intervention of the interior depart ment.

Sl,OOO,OOO FOR
 PARKER BRIDGE
 ON A. & [. R. K.
Looks Like Railroad Will Be Completed To Daggett With
 out Any DeIay-CoIoradO River Bridge Will Be Costly.

PHOENIX, Jan. 29.-Having inspect. ed the work that is being done on the sL,000.000 bridge of the Arizona & California road at Parker on the Col Iorado river, General Manager w. A. Drake and Presidents Secretary F. P. Cruice of the Santa Fe Prescott & Phoenix. are in Ph"e-ix today, and will return to Prescott tonight.
 Men are now at work on the third caisson of what will be the biggest and most expensive bridge in the entire southwest Two of the caissons are nQwi place and are the largest yet built on any river in the southwest. Altogether there are six caissOns to be built and they are immense con crete affairs capable of sustaining a bridge that will hold several of the biggest transcontinental trains at the same time.
 At the present time nearly 15G men most of whom are expert in bridge building, are being employed on the structure. and work is being rusbed as fast as possible. Materiahis arriv- ing for the superstructure. and when the caissions are completed no time will be lost in putting up the bridge part
 It is figured that by next May the bridge will be completed, and as soon as the floor Is in shape to permit the the passing of trains the grading of the Arizona &, California road to Daggett, Cal, will be resumed. Trains are now running regularly to the Colorado river from Wickenburg.
 General Manager Drake states that as a result of the building of this bridge and the plans to extend the road to Daggett, there is much ac- tivity on the Colorado river in both the mining and agricultural districts.
 Several large tracts of farm land have been laid out and the owners are preparing to push the sale of homes among eastern settlers just as soon as there is a railraod to haul to market the products of their farms.
 In the mountains along the Colo rado on the California side there are several promising mining properties, as well as several districts on the Ar zona side which have already at tracted wide attention among eastern and local mining men.
 Railroad officials refuse when ques- toned to make any positive statement regarding the plans of the Santa Fe iu connection with the extetnsion of Parker west into California, replying that on account of the unsettled finan- cial condition it may be difficult to se- cure funds with which to carry on the work. but the activity at Parker. and the evident desire to complete the bridge there is taken by many to in dicate that no time will be lost com pleting the road to Daggett. The Arizona & California will not only give Phoenix another direct route i to the California markets, but will make an immense area of virgin terri 1 tory contiguous to this valley. Phoe- ! nix will naturally be the business cen 1 ter for this district.

DOZEN HODGES MARCH
 ID EASTERN PASTURE
Twelve Sons Of Rest Turned loose By Tucson JaiIer
 Seek East,

TUCSON, Jan. 29.-"East!" With ab- solute unanimity and heartfelt earnest ness, this cabalistic word fell from the lips of one even dozen brake-beam riders last night at the city police sta ton.
 It reminded one of the days Of the drouths and crop failures in the middle west, when a man and his family went through to Ohio in q prairie schooner, which bore on its sides the poetic legend:
 Kansas for Starvation"
 Pm going East"
 All of the twelve had been doing various periods of time as hoboes, tramps or whatever term may be ap- piled Most of them had not com. pleted their formal sentences.
 Jailor O,Donnell, however, concluded to withdraw the friendly shelter of the jail walls from them, and set them out side the gates of the city. Accordingly he called them in. lined them up, made them a little speech restored to them their belongings, if they had any, and then said: Which way are you go- ing?p
 And with one voice came the re sponse: East" One of them, who was fairly well dressed, and does net appear at all the professional hoDo. said that he wanted to be allowed to remain over night, as he had nowhere to lay his head. He seemed 70 be e very decent about st that permissic | was granted. He is simply a II ] down on his luck
 The others were ia all stages dilapidation, from complete to pres pective.. Some had ten cents, some T nail or two, some a dollar or two, while one of them had some money a watch and a gold stick pin.

Vega and Fer. nando Blanco, met with a most hor- rfble death while doing some assess ment work on claims in Pinkard's Gulch A blast was made ready and the fuse was lighted, but for some reason the men failed to reach safe distance and when the blast went off they were both istantly killed.
 Both men were horribly magled, Blaco's body, from the waist down, being blown hundreds of feet in every direction, while Vega suffered about the same fate, his body being torn and bruised and nearly unreeogizabfe.
 Why the men failed to reach a placc of safety away from the blast is not known as the were alone at the time the accident happened.

TIE TREATING PLANT
 ID OPERATE IN SONORA
Southern Pacific is Shipping Thirty-Six Cars of Machin-
 cry To EmpIaime,

BENSON, Jan. 29.-Seven cars be- longing to the Wood Preserving and Creosote plant of the Southern Pacific, have arrived in the Benson yards. There will be some thirty-six ears of machinery in all when it all has passed through here on it's way to Empalme, Sonora, where 1t is to be put up and operated for the next two or three years.
 The plant is in charge of H. M. Knowles, who will superintend the the treating of the ties that are to be used on the Randolph branch lines now building in Sonora, Mexico. As 1t is stated that there will be 100000 to be treated and. the capacity of the plant is 5000 ties every twenty-four hours it will be seen that the company will have use for the preserving layout for the next three years.
 A visit by the writer to the car con taining the dynamos. yacum and wat CT pumps, condenser and other machin- cry, showed that the car and machin- cry had been built purposely for each other. The car is electric light. This car on arrival at it's destination, is an chored and made solid to a good foundation, and all connections to the different tank are made from the out side.
 With Mr. Knowels are three help ers-W. P Haviland, engineer; w. F. Wingo and Charles Eddy, firemen.
 How the Ties Are Treated.
 'The treatment of the ties is very interesting, and, increases the life of the ties from four to six years" said Mir. Knowles. First, the ties are steamed in a large retOEt, or tank for three hours. then a vaeuIn is created, which draws all the moisture
 from the timber. whicn takes about one bour. This leaves the timber soft and hot. and with the pores open, in condition to receive the zink solu- ton with which the retort is filled, which preserves the ties. This solu- tion is forced into the timber under a pressure of 1S0 pounds to the square inch, and occupies about two hours time All together, a load" as MT. Knowles terms it, which constitutes some 476 pieces of timber, is thorough ly treated every six hours. With two large retorts being used; which will be the case in Empalme, they will be able to treat nearly a thousand ties every six hours. After treatment the ties look just the same; a person not knowing of their being treated could not detect any difference The ties are merely a shade darker. The zink being forced into the wood makes it imper- vious to insec.S and better able to withstand climatic conditions"
 Friday morning Mir. Knowles and his outfit left on the Burro freight. The balance of the plant, constituting tanks, retOrts, and pipes, will be through here within the next two or three days.

DR.LINDSEY ARRESTED.
Charged With Keeping Insane Asylum
in City Limits.

On the complaint of Mrs. Luella Couch

promlnent pnylsclans or IoPeka was ar
rested Friday afternoon for maintaining a
public nuisance or in other words main
tanning an insane asylum within 800 feet
of a dwelling house inside the city limits.
Mrs. Couchman, supported by other
people in the neighborHood, says that the
people are in constant fear of the inmates
actions are a nuisance. Mrs. Couchman
lives on West Tenth avenue Just across
from the Christ's hospital tract. On this
tract there are a number of the cottages
of the hospital and they are used for pri-
vate purposes. The cottage in question is
located on the southern edge of the
grounds and within 500 feet of the nearest
dwelling inside the city limits. The cot
tage is maintained by DR.. Lindsey at a
considerable expense to himself and is
of nervous troubles. Insane people have
never been treated in this cottage and as
a rule the patients are very quiet. It is
necessary that they be quiet as many of
the cottages of the hospital are situated
near DR.. Lindsey's asylum.
There is a city ordinance against an
asylum which causes a public nuisance
and Police Judge S. S. Urmy issued the
warrant Friday at the complaint of Mrs.
yesterday afternoon but the trial has been
postponed until next Wednesday after
noon at 2:30.
In speaking of the matter DR.. Lindsey
said this morning:
Contrary to the report Of the COM
plant, / am not keeping an insane
asylum. This cottage out at Christ's hos
pital is part of the institution and is for
the benefit of the public. 1 receive for
treatment nervous and neurotic patients
but they are very seldom noisy. In fact
| it is necessary that they be still ac-
count of the proximity of the cottages of
the hospital 1 do not deny that the pri-
| vate hospital has caused a little annoy
ance to the people living in that vicinity.
| l take their word for that but they must
irealize that every public convenience is at
| the inconvenience of some one and dam
ages some ones property. do not think
| that I will make any systematic defense
wednesday but simply go to court and
state the truthful facts of the matter.
| believe that this will stop the complaints
/ The patients are a good class of people
and have heard very little noise myself

pushed when the people realize the true
