CURE SICK HEADACHE.

short of recent years, account of dry weather there.
 Sheep and lamb receipts have been small since the middle of last week account of bad markets. but there is a fairly good run here today, 15,0O0 head. The market declined 10 to 25 cents last week, mostly on lambs. but is steady today. September receipts of sheep and lambs promise to be the heaviest on record at this mar ket for September. Country demand has been excellent and clearances have been good from day to day. Killing lambs bring $4.5O to $51O, sheep and yearlings $310 to $4.O0, including common ewes. Feeding lambs sell at S4.25 to s475, sheep and yearlings $3.00 toS3.75. with breeding ewes as high as S425. Dealers believe that the bottom has been reached, but we do not feel very confident of any improvement in the near future.

Tempe Department F.W. GRIFFIN, Manager

The department was a little slow in arriving upon the scene of the coHflagration, through no fault of it's own, however. The alley through which the hose cart must pass to get to the street had been freshly graded and the few firemen that first responded were unable to pull the cart through the soft dirt. The time ly arrival of a man on horseback helped out and the connection to the hydrant was made in quick time, once the hose was where it was needed. The tremendous water pressure made quick work of the flames and it was again demonstrated. as it has been many times past, that Tempe's fire department and water system is the towns most valuable asset. Without it there is no telling what might have happened as a result of the fire Saturday afternoon. Things in the neighborhood were dry and there was enough loose material in the block to keep the flames moving from one building to another.

might have been had the fire had a
 little more headway, it was suffi- ciently serious and through it Dr. W. c. DeVore lost a new buggy, harness, and what he most regretted, a valuable horse that was burned to death in the flames.
 The fire broke out about o'clock and the entire barn was a mass of
 flames by the time the alarm had been turned in and the department
 was upon the scene. The building was an old frame affair and burned rapidly. Its combustibility was ma terially increased by the presence in teh barn of some four or five tons of new baIed hay. Strange as it may seem. the barn being so cen trally located, the flames were not seen by anyone until they were so far advanced that it was impossible to save a single thing. The horse occupied box stall at the north end of the building and no one was on the ground quick enough to release the poor animal, and in almost less time than it takes to tell it, it was cooked to a crisp The only loser. practically. was Dr. DeNore, who but recently rented the property. Last week he purchased a new buggy and harness and the horse and had installed the outfit in the barn only last Wednesday and at that time had had the new hay placed in the barn. There was no insurance on anything and it was all a total loss.
 The doctor was in the front of the house when he heard the alarm, that being She first intimation that he had of the fire. He rushed to the back yard but saw that there was no hope of anything in the barn, so he confined his efforts to using tine small hose on the back of the residence until the arrival of the de- partment Tn the meantime the fences adjoining the fire and connecting the burning barn with the Curry build ing oh the north and the Goodwin building on the south were torn down 1 to prevent the flames spreading to these Buildings. When the water was turned on. it was but the work of a moment to check the flames and l they were soon under control, prac- tically no damage being done to the ! adjoining property.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct 4-Recceipts of cattle from the range country have been heavier in the last week than heretofore. especially from Colorado, while total receipts of cattle last week were 13.OOO head less than in the previous week. standing at 76.00O head including 11.6OO calves. Prices on steers declined 10 to 20 cents last week. in an effort to get in line with eastern markets more than account of lack of demand. In fact, the general situation improved during last week. cows gaining 10 to 15 cents, and the outlook is better than a week ago. Rains have fallen over a great DOT ton of the dry districts. helping the demand for country kinds, while cool CT weather will stimulate cOnSump- tive demand for fresh meats. The run today is 22,O0Q here, the market steady to strong. Colorado offerings include good to choice stockers at S405 to S4.25, cows at S3.20, calves s4OO and s6.0O. Late sales of Colo rado beef steers fahge from $40 to S415, cows $2.64x to g. 50, and top veals s625 "A feature today Is the arrival of a train load of old Mexico steers.

YAOUI CELEBRATION
 WEIRD PROCEDURE
A Glorious Demonstration at Gauda- lupe of Much Interest.

The celebration of St Francis day at the Yaqui village of Guadalupe, three miles southwest of Tempe. yes
 terday and the night before was most interesting procedure and was attended b. hundreds of people from this vicinity and Yaquis from all over
 the valley. It was a religious cere- mony performed by the Yaquis with the strictest devotion but to the white people in attendance it savored more of a savage demonstration. The ceremony commenced at sun down Saturday evening and continued until tie same hour last evening. The
 mos. festive part of the occasion took part. however. Saturday night and the dancing lasted all night long
 It was impossible to learn from anyone at the affair its exact signifi- canoe, but it was most entertaining to the onlooker, Yaqui and American alike, and these Of the Yaquis who participated entered into the occasion with will and danced long and pa ticniiy tc the tune of an aboriginal instrument the like of which and the music cf which it would be decidedly hard to describe
 One feature of the celebration par took of the nature of a Fourth of Jrly function At stated intervals, the signal being given by the church bell, firecrackers were set off and an occasional bomb exploded with a vast amount of noise. The chief perform CTS were two Yaquis stripped to the waist and otherwise attired in regu- latiOn costume for the occasion. These two were assisted in the ceremony by twelve others of apparent lesser importance. The dacing commenced early in the evening but the main ! feature took place about II o'clock when the dancers and the assembled l spectators formed a procession and escorted the altar from the church to a little brush shed some two 1 hundred yards dastant where most ! Of the dancing took place. This ] march occupied probably half an hour and in the bright moonlight with the | hideous music and chanting was ! most wierd affair and one well worth l going miles to see.

STRUCK ON THE HEAD.

Sam Lullin came near meeting his fate Saturday evening through a pe- culiar accident. As it is, he is carry ing about a decidedly sore head with three stitches in it that were required to close a severe scalp wound. In the evening after the fire he was assisting in lowering the hose that had been strung on the tower to drain. The hose is handled by a windlass and in lowering it Lukin lost control of the windlass, the iron handle swinging around with much force, striking him across the top of the head a terrific blow, temporarily putting him out of business.

LIFE HANGS ON
WOOLEN THREAD
A Remarkable Incident Is Urged
by Prosecution in Muir
der Trial
CONSPIRACY IS CHARGED
Thread From Saddle Blanket Found
Near the Scene of the Crime.
Which Is Urged to In
dicate Guilt.

Muskogee. Okla, Nov G.-The
trial of Pony Starr, charged with the
murder of Bob Middleton near Po-
rum last July, was begun in the dis
trict court here Wednesday. The case
has deyeloped some. remarkable fea-
lures. The evidence Of the defense
is to show that Starr, who is a rela
tive of Henry Starr, is the victim of
IA conspiracy and that the principal
evidence by which the state hopes
Ito secure conviction is a red raveling
from a saddle blanket which was
found on a bush near where the
murder occurred
Hamilton was ambushed and kill
ed the afternoon of July 8 in the
woods not far from Porum 1t is al
legged that the killing was the result
of feud which exists in that section
and has been the cause of several
killings, Anyway, Hamilton was shot
down and there were no Witnesses
to the tragedy.
The arrest of Starr followed short
ly after II was claimed that there
was evidence that he had passed
along the road about the time the
murder occurred. But the principal
| clew that the officers worked upon
i was a wooden string, a raveling from
red saddle blanket which had
caught on bush by the roadside
near where the dead man was found,
This thread corresponded in color
tand texture to saddle blanket
which Starr was known to use and
upon this evidence he was arrested
and charged with the murder.
When the case came up Wednes
day a witness was missing whom tn
defense claimed would testify that
woman had offered him 500 t
swear that he had seen Pony Star
coming from the scene of the mur
der just after it occurred. The de
Tense further attempted to show tha
lthe case against Starr had been mad'
lby a woman, in spirit cf revenge
over fancied wrong that he hao
done her.
The case is attracting wide inter
est and the courthouse is packed with
lIndIans, friends of Starr, who is part
Indian.

Alton, M Nov. 6.--TneOdore
Beckford of Alton is back from the
klondike with one million dollars in
gold. After a silence of ten years had
led his relatives to believe that he
was dead he suddenly reappeared in
Alton and announced that he was a

repeated efforts to get tidings of
him. They are Mrs. Ida Gottentrue
and Mrs Annie Thomas of Alton,
and Mrs. NJ Lang of 4010 Seaman

not more.

1T took us a month to get down

steamer was ice bound for seven days

thirty-seven feet long was punched
in the side of our steamer and we
were dashed up against big sand

loomed up before our boat and every
one of the 500 men, women and chill
dren on board spent the time pray
ing. A lucky shift of the wind blew
us off the sandbar into the open sea
clear of the ice and we went safely
on.
Beckford says he did not write to
his sisters because he was so inter
ested in gold that he forgot every
thing until after he had dug himself

return and visit them, He brought
home large quantity of nuggets. He

INSANITY CASES

sUPT. GRECORY'S REPORT
Recommends the Establishment Of an

Padenis-Might be Made
Sell-Sustaining.

Austin, Texas, Nov. 6.-'The re-
ito of insanity of Texas is increasing
in proportion faster than the popula-
ton II the same ratio continues to
exist the next ten years as it has the
asst ten, we will need ten asylums to
care for our insane which will re
quire the expenditure of $3,500,000
Tor S4,000,o00 to maintain these in
stltutions," says Superintendent G..
H. Gregory of the North Texas hos
pital for the insane at Terrell in his
annual report to Governor Campbell
received yesterday.
Since the Inauguration of the in
|stitution in 1885 there have been T.
1899 patients admitted, of which
number 5,554 have either been dis
charged, transferred or died, leaving
.2,045 patients now in the asylum
And in discussing the cause of insan-
ity, in connection with the great in
crease, superintendent Gregory at
tributed it chiefly to heredity and al
coholsm The superintendent suS-
gests in his revort that it would be
more economical for the state if the
purchasing of food and supplies for
the HSlllulfOH NdS ltlt W thV escy
lum authorities.
One recommendation which he
makes is considered good because 1t
would solve the question of more ac-
Icommodations for the white insane
| OF the state, and he adds that the
next legislature will be called upon
Ito provide more room. His recon-
mendation is the establishment BY
| the state of an Independent colony
! for the colored insane. He believes
| the establishment and maintenance
Of such a colony would be more sci
sustaining than any other eleemosy
lnary department of the state because
he believes that the negro Is out o
his element when confined In com
parative idleness, and to provide sui
ticient farming lands in connection
with such an institution would as
sist the state in their care and pro-
vide beneficial employment for the
patient and thus also create more
room in the institutions for white
patients.
