ARIST0CRATIC DSTASTE
 OF THINGS AMERICAN
Pedro Norieea Cannot Get Out Of the Country Too Soon to Suit Him.

Pedro NOriega is weary of the ways of the pigs of Americans. meaning thereby the residents of the United States. His Castillian spirit abhors the manners and customs of this coun- try and he is desirous of returning at once to his beloved Mexico. He stated his desires to Justice Johnstone yes terday. who begged him not to be pre- ciptate and firmly insisted that NOrie- ga should medtate concerning the matter for at least seven days. No- body knows precisely how long Nori- ega has exiled himself from his na- tive land but the records of the coun- ty jail show that he has been there at least two-thirds of the time for the last year.
 Alfredo Caro was held by Justice Johnstone on suspicion of stealing a watch The night before he and An tonic Gonzales made friendly call on old man Peralta. They remained until late hour engaged in the discussion of philosophical questions. After the visitors had gone the old man sought his watch to see if it was time to go to bed. The watch was gone and he connected its disappearance with that of his late guests. Caro- was ar rested and said that that was the first he had heard of the watch. Gonzales had not been found.

LITTLE FOUNDATION
 FOR OIL STORIES
The Origin of the Wednesday Excite
 ment More Mysterious Than Ever.

The oil proposition at Valley station north of Prescott seems to have settled itself and the situation is about where it was before the eXcitment started. The facts" on which the Phoenix ex- citment started. taken from the Pres colt Journal Miner and from stories in circulation all over Phoenix on We'd nesday. seem to have been no facts at all and how the stories all started re- mains a mystery.
 Mrs. Brown, a daughter of Mrs. George Puntenney. stated yesterday that her mother who had been visiting Phoenix. returned to the ranch on March 15 and has not been in Phoenix since then. She stated further that MT. Puntenney did not send any tele- gram to Phoenix for location notice blanks. She goes further and says there was no little boy employed at the drilling works who might be sent to the Puntenney ranch to get eggs and tell a story about an oil gusher.
 The well and derrick are still there however and various people testify that the indications for oil are still good. and sinking will be continued.

range his affairs after which he went
 down the hall accompanied by the
 officer to speak to a friend he said
 was his nephew. Percy Patrick. When
 the latter was told that Bell was un-
 der arrest he seemed very much sur prised.
 Arriving at the city jail on his re- quest Bell was shown the telegram but made no comments upon it. The officer wired Mir Ward that his man -Nvas under arrest and asked for fur ther instructions.
 P A. Patrick was seen last night in connection with the arrest and stated that he felt sure the incident was either a mistake or a piece of spite work. that would be explained very shortly. perhaps today. MT. Bell. he ! said. was in business in Seattle and became insOlvent. He. Mir Patrick. came down from Valdez. Alaska ad- uncle and paid all he could find, amounting to approximately S4.OOG. Archie C. Bell is the right name of the man arrested. but his mother mar ried d man named Sherr when he was an infant and he has always gone by the name of Sherr until after he left Seattle. when he again assumed his fathers name. One reason for doing so was that he has a brother named l.. T. Sberr, who has caused him some trouble heretofore and he decided to
 make this distinction between them hereafter As the telegram calls for the arrest of l.. T. Sherr. instead of
 A. C. Sherr. it is possible the Seattle officers have mistaken Mir. Bell for his
 brother. But the Phoenix officer could do nothing else than arrest Bell, as he
 was quite accurately described in the ! telegram.

This state ment was denied by Garcia and a search of him failed to disclose the money. He was taken to jail and there he admitted his guilt. He of fered to refund the money if the mat ter would be permitted to drop. His proposition was not accepted and he agreed to get the money anyhow. He first said that he had handed it to a friend when he took to flight. but the bill was found near the spot where Garcia was arrested.

ADJUSTMENTS
 

In all it's history. the New York the ater never held such large audiences as gathered there during the long runs of Mcintyre and Heath in Klaw & Er- fingers production of The Ham Tree.' by long odds the most humorous entertainment on earth. People laugh till they are exhausted and are glad indeed when the end of an act gives them a respite from mirthful convul- Sions. Mcintyre and Heath play minstrels in the first act. stranded minstrels in the second and an Indian rajah and rance in the third. Their conversation in the second act would as Josh Billings used to express it. make horse laugh" MT. Mcintyre is the doleful one while MT Heath is the hopeful-seeing hams growing on trees, rivers of beer. swamps of schweitezer and flochs of sausage fly ing through the air. This scene be- tween these two veteran comedians is admittedly the most humorous ever presented by any two performers.

 Bell has been advertising his busi- ness of carpentering and contracting in the local papers and the officer very easily located him at the Doris. About o'clock he telephoned to know if Bell was there and receiving an affirmative reply told him he would like to make a date right away. Bell asked who he was but the officer feigning not to hear hung up the tel ephone suddenly. leaving the impress sion that he was in too big hurry to talk but would come right down.
 Arriving at the mans rooms he was Ushered in and when Bell noted by his clothes that he was an officer he seemed at once to be greatly agitated. but told the marshal to be seated. Asked if he was MT. Bell he replied affirmatively, when the officer told him he would have to accompany him. This he did without resistance or pro- test. only asking for a moment to ar

Death of Blind Tom.

Atlanta Journal.
The death Of "Blind Tom," which
occurred in Hobollen on Saturday,
calls to mind one Of the most re-
markable geniuscs the world has ever
seen.
The older generation remembers
him well, and at the same time lie
lingcrcd-far from supcrfluous-on
the stage-until a recent period.
"Blind Tom' was born on a plan
tation near Columbus, Ga. At an
early age his remarkable talent for
music was discovered. The story has
become a wcll-worn tradition how he
was discovered at the piano, playing
over by car the compositions which
he had heard the white members OF
the family playing,
His musical genius was born full
grown. He never received inStruc
tions Of any kind. lie never needed
il. His musical ear had been dcvcl-
opcd by nature at the expense Of
every other faculty. His achieve
mcnts were the most remarkable
perhaps in the whole history Of music,
for except in that one field he was al
most All idiot. lie had no difficulty
whatever i'll playing the most difficult
compositions Of the masters, after
hearing them played once, and even
more difficult tests have been applied
having him play over compositions
which had been improvised for the
occasion.
There was no possibility of fraud
or deceit, and he was hailed by the
musical world as a distinct phcnome-
non

this country and Europe and played
before the crowned heads of the lat
ter country, an object of admiration
and astonishmcnt wherever he went.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollar.
were earned by these tours, but he
died in poverty and neglect. 1t was
one Of the most pathetic careers in
all the melancholy history Of genius,
But his native State Of Georgia will
long hold him in gentle and appre-
ciativc remembrance. He was sim
pie. kindly soul and gave pleasure to
thousands while he lived. His death
is sincerely lamcnlcd.

courthouse he was met by several
friends and acquaintance, who in
sisted on him taking drink with
them, thinking there could be no
harm in that as he had fully resolved
that he would not take enough to al
low himself to become under the in
fluence of it. From some cause, how
ever, unknown to your respondent,
the whiskey that he drank with the
said friends and acquaintainces had a
power and unusual effect upon your
respondent SO that he became so
much under the influence of it that
he lost control Of himself and his
actions and was not aware of what he
was saying nor doing at the time.
'That your respondent disclaims
any intention Of treating the court
with disrespect, or Of violating it's in
structions, and his obligations, aside
from the fact that he regards his
mere word or promise as absolutely
binding upon him and far more so his
oath or obligation, he has the most
profound respect for this honorable
court, and nothing could induce him
in his right mind to do or say any
thing that would tend to show other
wisc.'

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Juror Got Drunk and Talked About
The Sellers Murder Case-$60
or Three Months.

Columbia, June 1G.-R. C. Ashford
was yesterday found guilty Of con-
tempt of court and sentenced to
three months Imprisonment or fine
of $50, before the circuit court,
Judge Ernest Gary presiding. He
paid the fine.
On Saturday, June G, Ashford was
sitting as juryman on the Sellers
case, and that night left the court
house fully realizing the gravity and
responsibility Of the position he held.
However, he met some Of his friends
who insisted that he take drink with
them. At first Ashford refused, but
finally yielded to the repeated cn-
treaties of his friends. BY midnight
Ashford had taken several more
drinks, and in some mysterious way
the liquor had the effect upon Ash
ford of making him want to talk, and
in spite of the responsibility and
gravity of the position as realized by
the juror, he discussed the case with
several people.
In an affidavit Policeman Hough,
Of the Columbia police force, stated
that he found Ashford about mid
night in a restaurant apparently un-
der The Influence Of liquor, and that
he advised him to go home. Ashfo
refused and went up the street to
another restaurant, where Policeman
Hough again ran across him later at
under the influence Of liquor. Police
man Hough again tried to persuade
Ashford to go home and 60 to bed,
but the latter refused and started to
tell Iough about trying to talk some
sense into that fellows head, point
ing to an unknown in the corner. Ash
ford further stated to Policeman
Ilough that he wished to discuss the
Sellers ease with him, that there were
some features about it that lie did
not like. Policeman Ilough reminded
Ashford that he was pledged not to
discuss the ease on which he was sit
ting as a juror, but to no avail Ash
ford did not return home until late
Sunday morning.
In his return to Il rule awarded
against him BY the court to show
cause why he should not be attached
tor a contempt Of court, Il. G. Ash
ford respectfully submitted: "rhat
on Saturday night, June 9th, your
respondent left the courthouse fully
realizing the gravity and responsible
ity Of the position in which he was
placed as juror in the above entitled
ease, having in mind the warning Of
the Judge and further from sense of
duty on his own part, realizing the
lcrs and what the effect of
the verdict of the jury
would he, he had fully made up his
mind to be guarded by the insruc-
ti"ns given him in The wisdom of the
court, and that he would discuss the
ease with no one, but would be gov
crned entirely by his own sense Of
right and duty and would render his
decision in accordance with the law
and evidence, as he had already sworn
to do. Although he was approached
by several persons, who questioned
him about the ease, he positively re-
fused to say anything to anybody on
the subject and told them that he had
been warned not to do SO, and that
he intended t" abide by these tnstruc-
tions Shortly after having left the
