SERVIAN PRINCE
 IN A CONSPIRACY
For the Overthrow of the Neighboring Government of Montenegro.

Cettinje, Montenegro. June 4.-Sen- sational testimony involving Crown Prince George of Servia in conspir- acy against Montenegro has been giv- en out at the trial now proceeding here of thirty-two prisoners charged with revolutionary activity in connec- tion with the discovery of store of bombs in Cettinje last year. Two witnesses stated that the bombs in question had been manufactured by Servian artillery officers by the di- rection of the prince, the object be- ing to use them against the Mont enegrin government with the object of overthrowing the existing regime.
 This testimony caused the greatest excitement here and an interruption of the diplomatic relations between Servia and Montenegro is expected. The Servian minister declared that owing to the revelations his stay in Cettinje is impossible. The crown prince is an irresponsible wild young man whose escapades and misbeha- vior have attracted much unfavorable comment in southwestern Europe.

JOHN C. MONTGOMERY
 HAMMOND'S MANAGER
A Complimentary Expression of His
 Ability by Friend of Many Years.

The announcement of the candidacy of John Hays Hammond for the po- sition of nominee for vice president on the republican ticket, has started "a new line of thought in the west whether it has had any effect on the east or not. From several stand points MT. Hammond seems to be particularly available and should he be chosen it is expected that he would wield a strong personal in- fluence in the west regardless of pol itics. This item, however, is merely incidental to MT. Hammond's candi- 'dacy as it pertains chiefly to John M. Montgomery. his political repre- sentation in Chicago, as announced in the dispatches a few days ago. It chances that H. B. Snyder, who came here last winter to reside perma- nently, is a warm personal friend of MT. Montgomery, who is now of some national political interest as the rep resentative of Mir. Hammond. In a conversation yesterday, MT. Snyder spoke of him as follows, after a per sonal acquaintance of a quarter of d century:
 John c. Montgomery was formerly Of Denver, but now lives in New York and is the American manager of the Venture Corporation of Lon don, one of the largest if not the largest of mining corporations in the whole world. He is a man of strong. aggressive, straightforward, honest character and his knowledge of the orderdly necessities of political chess, should enable him to command a very strong position for John Hays Ham mond as a candidate for vice presi- dent. It would seem altogether prob able that Mir. Hammond could secure larger number of votes throughout the western part of the United States than any other candidate by virtue of his long western career. Besides, he has been as prominently before the east as the most successful min ing engineer in the world, with an amazingly large salary, which of it. self. is sufficient criterion of his ability"

A SORE FOOT.-Harold the son of Mir. and Mrs. c. H. Davidson is nurs- ing a sore foot that threatened to give him deal of trouble, but which will probably heal rapidly now that the real facts in the case are known. He ran a huge needle into the hollow of the foot a few days ago and as he supposed, pull it out again. After a day or two it was evident that there was more trouble than the mere wound. The Xray was employed yes terday and a portion of the needle was located still in the foot and re- moved by an operation that made the lad temporarily very sick but probably insures his recovery without iA ef- fects
 THE PORT OF LOST HORSES Most of the horses which stray away from home find their way to the Salt River Indan reservation. H. NJ. Alex ander, the agent there, was in town yesterday and reported to the office of the sheriff another stray there. He had encouraged the Indians to take them up wherever they find and he has agreed to allow the finder twenty five cents day until the animal is claimed. This a small sum for the owner to pay and the arrangement provides for his more sure recovery of his property. The new horse is dark gray, newly shod, has harness marks is seven or eight years old and weighs about 1000 pounds. The horse bears a brand which seems to ''20'' with a bar under it.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE COTTON INDUSTRY-Some time

COTTON NDUSTRY-Some time ago Professor R. w. Clothier, super intendent of the farmers institute. took up the matter of freight rates on Arizona cotton with L. H. Landis of the Maricopa & Phoenix and Salt River Valley railroad company and he has just received the following very gratifying quotations on cotton in bales, minimum weight of carload, 10000 pounds: Phoenix to Boston, $1.25 per 100. Phoenix to Galveston, Texas, 95 cents per 100. Phoenix to Oakland, Calf, 75 cents per 100. These rates are certainly very encouraging and indicate that the railroads are en- deavoring to meet the farmers fully half way in their efforts to establish this new industry
