We had to strap him down in bed, for

times and he was pronounced one Of
the worst cases, if not the worst, ever
admitted. From each he was dis
charged as incurable; in fact he got
worse under the successive treatments.
At one hospital they incased him in
plaster, and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. He looked so
badly that no one liked to 90 near him

 AMERICAN FLEET

stalwart land this, at the outpost of the world
 It is through this savage waterway that our sixteen battleships are about to thread their way, the most power fuI fleet that ever crossed the equator and headed deep into the ocean waste of the south. That the season will be midsummer in that region means no appreciative meteorological change from midwinter other than that or a prolonged daylight instead of the dark ness that covers the world there in June, July and August. The mea of war will naturally proceed through the strait in single file with plenty of sea room between the units of the fleet Hail, snow and rain sqnalls almost un- ceasing will hide the ofiing on every hand. The compass. the chart and the lead line alone must guide the ships through treacherous cross cdrren B, and there will be few officers and men in the fleet who win not breathe deep Iy of satisfaction when the open Paci- 8c, stormy though it be, stretches out before them.
 The Patagonian archipelago is un- squalled in the world for it's gloomy weather, its gales of wind. the nuin Ter o1 it's islands and rocks and it's i1- numerable water passages. the largeSt of which is the strait of Magellan Darwin. in H. M. s. Beagle. spent many months there, one of the principal channels having been named after that vessel. F1tzroy practically lived there for long period, studying the land, charting the bays and gulfs with which the archipelago abounds. The largest island Is Tierra Del Fuego and one of the smallest Is Horn island at the lowest extremity of which rises the dreaded cape of that name. Cape Horn is no more a part of the South American mainland than are the Heb rides a part of the mainland of Scot land. The Horn is simply the south ernost rock of all the vast Fuegian archipelago, wholly seperated from South America by the strait of Magel- Ian and by the other passages that separate the masses of islands.

It is doubtful if any great salt water highroad is so little known as the strait Of Magellan. Baftin bay in the Arctic, is probobly about as familiar to the minds of most persons as is the southern passageway that bears the name of the mighty Portugese explo- Ter. Bafin bay is in the north, the Magellan strait is in the south, and they let the matter go at that. One is froze up nine months of the year the other is dark and drsary always. This is remembered from the geo graphies of childhood.
 Yet the strait of Magellan is in- comparably grander and more InspIr- ing to the imaginative mind than any other similar highway ia the world. It's very size commands that homage that we give to natures masterpiece. It is nearly 400 miles long auu Tn width from two miles up to 20 or 30. 1t is more than twice as long as the navigable Hudson river. You could drop the entire Hudson, Highlands, Palisades and all into the wild gash of the Magellan pathway and not know the difference, just as you might drop the Alps into some of the Himaiayan valleys. The Hudson even at iGs mouth is not notably deep; probably 50 feet, or from eight to nine fathoms opposite New York. The Magellan strait. from the sandy pit of Cape Virgins in the east. to Cape Pillar at the tip of Desc lation Island at the Pacific entrance is from 50 to 200 fathoms.
 Tn the Hudson Highlands we nave several abrupt elevations rising out of the stream like the Storm King and tae Dundsrburg, few hundred It in height In the strait there are peaks of naked rock shooting verti- cally out of the spinning tide for 2000 or 5000 feet, uncouth. repelIant and sublime. Perpetual snow robes their summits that stand up ragged against the tempests of the south Tremen- dous squalls roar across the archipel- ago through which passes the strait, squalls as white as fog with choking snow-the missiles of the gale that never ends.

 GAVE CREEK COUNTRY
LaWIessneSs During Sheep Shearing Time To Be Sup
 pressed By Rangers.

PHOENIX, Feb. 1.-The country adjacent to Cave Creek is to be an orderly one this winter if the efforts of Governor Kibbey and Sheriff Hay den are successful, and the acts of lawlessness that have occurred there each year are to be thing of the past At the request of SherIn hay den, the governor has ordered two members of the ranger force of the territory to proceed at once to Cave Creek and there remain until the sheep shearing is at an end.
 This request was made by the sher- if for tde reason tha the force or deputies Of the county is not capable of preventing the commission of crimes which seem likely to occur in that part of the county if no peace officer is near at hand. The rangers therefore will serve, really as a pre- yentive of crime, it is hoped.

RUSSELL AND MONET
 GET TdROUGH CANYON
Men Reach Needles in Safety After Most Dang
 erouS Voyage.

NEEDLES, CAL, Feb. 14.-Chas. s. Russell anr E. R. Monstt. the dar- ing Arizona miners who started down the Colorado river some months ago il a sixtesn-foot row boat, have reached the Needles in safety after threading the tortuous gorge of the Grand Canyon and shOting the many perilous rapids of the raging Colorado between Bright Angel and this place. This feat of descending 752 miles of the Colorado in a small metal sheath ed boat is one of the most remark able achievements on record and the hsrdy adventurers who accomplished it did so by pure daredevil courage and skill.
 It is likely the men will not end their adventures here as expected. After a reception given in their lon- or last night miner Of Searchlight, New. whose name is not made public approached the men and offered them a1 outi if they would under take what would bN the most incred- ible feat of boating on record. He proposes that the men continue down the Colorado with New York City as their final destination: the trip to be made via the Gulf of California, the Pacific ocean, then short portage across the Isthmus of Panama to the lakes at the headquarters of the Charges river, down the river and along the route of the Panama canal to the Gulf of Mexico and the At lantic, up the Mississippi to the Great I akes, up the St. Lawrence and down the Atlantic seaboard to New York.
 It is not stipulated that the men go over Niagara Falls as it is be- ieYed the trip will be strenuous enough without that feature. It is understood the men will receive a substantial reward if they accomplish the feat successfully Russell and Monnett have not said positively whether or not they will accept the offer but intimate they would rather spend a year or two in the endeayor than to take chances on getting work in the mines at this dull season. The stipulation of the miner making the offer is that his name shall be kept entirely in the background.
 Loper. the other man who started down the Colorado in Utah with Rus. sell and Monnet and who was be- lievpd to be a deserter, has been dis covered.

HERE'S A GOOD ONE
 DECIDEDLY ON BENSON.

PHOENIX, Feb. 14.-AH the pre- cincts, even the most remote, have been heard from, and the only Ari- zona city that forgot Governor Kib- bey had made last Friday legal hol- iday by his Arbor day proclamation was Benson, Cochise county.
 H. Earp, who boasts no relation to the famous gang of the same name that helped make things lively in Tombstone in the early days, is the first to get ou< of Benson and bring the sto<y to Phoenix.
 T got to Benson about Il o'clock last Friday morning from Tomb stone" said Earp. who was in Phoenix this morning, "and found the two banks doing business.
 T drew some checks and had them cashed, and then I began to wonder how it came that the banks were do- ing business. I asked the cashiers if they did not know it was 8 legal holiday.
 Within ten minutes after I had asked the question, the front doors of the banks were tighly locked and the shutters closed They had forgot all about it being Arbor day"
 Earp says it had not happem-u 10 dawn on any of the Benson people that Governor Kfbbey had issued q proclamation making last Friday a legal holiday.
 Incidentally. Earp learned while in Clifton few days ago that they are organizing and training baseball team for the express purpose of trim ming the Phoenix Whites

ARIZONA MAN
 TELLS IF HE
 WIRz CRUELTY
Objects Mosr Decidedly To Erecting a Monumeet to tie Warden of Llbbey Prison, As Is Proposed.
(Phoenix Gazette.)

tfnOSulA OdleliS-l
 Since the movement was started among the women of the south to raise money to erect a monument to Henry Wirz, the warden of Libbey prison in which many union soldiers were confined during the war of the rebellion, there have been many pro tests from all over the nation It is charged that Wirz was monster in human form and that everything should be done to cause him to be forgotten, instead of honoring him.
 In connection with this the Gazette is in receipt of communication from Thomas Boyle of 543 West Adams street, one of the old timers in Arizona, who was member of the Third Wisconsin Badger battery dur ing the war and was confined for many weary months in the prisons or the cnnfedarates, Mir Boyle's pro test follows:
 Editor Gazette: 1 was confined in Libbey, Danville and AndersonYllie prisons from September, 1863, to July 1864. After seven intellectual at tempts to escape, l succeeded. But after the seventh attempt. l was talk en back to Wirz. He looked me over and said: You Tanks, don't you know you cannot get awaye The hounds will ketch you and the citi- zens gre all armed. 1 will give you twenty-four hours start
 ''I answered, I thank you, sir; I will take it
 q had a bundle of vegetables which Colonel H-- gave me lo take to my comrades in the bull pen. He ordered me to drop them, but I begged him to let me take them iD. Then he leveled his gun at me and l dropped them. After that I was marched to headquarters, where he chained me to a hundred-pound ball, fastened my right leg to the odd chain and my left to a thirty-two- pound ball. There is twenty-four nour start for you, you Yank,' he said.
 Tn few days an officer rendered me parole to be free a mile around the prison; also to work >or mem and get plenty to eat I declined un- less I was sent through the lines. Next day I was released from the shackles and turned into the bull pen. In two hours I had escaped.
 For some time the tone of the press has been that the women of the south will erect a monument to Wirz. We say, 'Noi' Men who re- captured me and brought me back to prison said that Wirz was disgrace to their cause. One man, named Col onel H., asked him for a parole to keep me on his plantation, but Nirz insulted him. Another time l saw him motion to a guard to shoot a one-legged eomrade who was follow sag him to the gate, begging him Tor some extra rations. Out of eleven captured from our battery at Chick amauga only three got out alive, I was one of them, and l think there is another yet alive.
 Tt is my humble opinion that if the erection of the monument WAS lzft to the people of the south to de- tide upon they would not tolerate 1t.
 Tt is just as well for those who are inclined to construct this monument to perpetuate the memory of Wirz for ais inhumanity, to go back to the middle ages and construct a memorial to the Huns and vandals of that time.
 Yours, truly,
 THOMAS BOYLE.'
Bisbee daily review., 1908-02-15

the work of shearing will call there many a man whose record in other rIaces will not bear too close inspec- tion. These men thrown in with the ordinary sheep herder are safe from the prying eyes of the world, but past seasons have shown that, they get the opportunity, they are not averse to relieving person of his be- longings. At times, murder has been resorted to. if the occasion demand ed it, in order to accomplish the de- sired results. Last winter there were several shooting affrays and a number of robberies.
 It is not feasible to divide up the sherifs force, and the Phoenix of fee is too far away to be of much use in coping with crime in that part of the county.
