 The boy lost none of his eagernesi and spent nearly all of his time in thu recruiting camps, watching the drills and studying tactics. In August, 1862 the governor, who had kept his eye oI the boy, commissioned him first lieu tenant and adiutant of the Twenty fourth Wisconsin regiment. Wher young MacArthur, then delicate boy slim, and with his voice not fully changed, reported to the colonel of the regiment, he received scant wei come. The colonel appealed to the governor for more mature adiu- tant, but the governor declined the request.
 MacArthur proved a model adjutant however, and soon distinguished him self by his eoolness under fire and his bravery. His first battle was Perry vile, and no officer of the command was cooler, braver or more efficient than the boy adjutant. The same was true of his conduct in the battle of Stone river. He was no less distin' guished at the great battle of Chick amauga and at Missionary Ridge, No vember 25, 1863. During the storming of the earthworks on the ridge Lieu tenant MacArthur took the flag of his regiment from the color bearer who had fallen and led the command in the charge. being the first to scale the bridge and planting his flag there. For this act he was awarded medal of honor by congress.
 He was promoted major on January 25, 1864, acted as lieutenant colonel during Sherman march to Atlanta

LAST LIEUTENANT GENERAL
 RETIRES FROM OFFICE
Interesting History of Rise in Military Cir cles of Arthur McArthur, Who Quit
 the Service Yesterday

WASHINGTON, D. C., June g. After an honorable and eventful mil itary career of forty-seven years Lieu tenant Genaral Arthur MacArthur, the twelfth and last American officer to reach that highest rank in the army, was retired today. George Washington was the first on the list. He was ap, pointed lieutenant general by Presi- dent Adams on July 3, l79S, and held that rank at the time of his death. In accordance with an act of congress passed a few years ago the rank of lieutenant general becomes abolished with the retirement of General MacAr- thur.
 Like his immediate predecessor in rank, General Henry C. Corbin, Genef' al MacArthur began his military ear eer in the volunteer army which was created for service in the Civil war. General Arthur MacArthur was born in assaehusetts, June 2, lS45. He was still an infant when his parents went to Wisconsin and settled in Mil waukee. His father was the late Judge Arthur MacArthur, who had also served as lieutenant governor of Wis consin and for five days was governor. Young MacArthur received his educa- ton at the public schools of Milwau- kee and was not quite sixteen when President Lincoln issued his first call for volunteers. So great was his eag' erness to become soldier that has father had great difficulty in inducing

and was slightly wounded in that cam paign.N He was brevetted colonel on March 13, 1865, promoted to lieuten' ant colonel of the Twenty-fourth Wis consin Infantry, May IS, 1865, and honorably mustered out June 10, 1865 He was not yet entitled to vote when he brought back his regiment to Wis consin after the close of the war. Af ter few months of rest at home young Macarthur applied for a commission in the regular army and was. made second and first lieutenant on the same day, February 23, 1866. In July of the same year he was made captain, which rank he retained for twenty three years.
 On May 26, 1899, Captain MacAr. thur was transferred to the adjutant generals department with the rank of major and not until 1896 was he pro noted to be lieutenant colonel. This rank he held at the beginning of the Spanish-American war, when he was made brigader general of volun' teers, reaching Manila in time to par ticipate in the battle of August 13. On the same day he was made major general, was made commander of the troops in the Philippines and governor general, succeeding General Otis in 1900. He was relieved in July, 1901, and returned to the United States.
 On January 2, 1900, his rank in the regular army was changed from lieutenant colonel to brigadier gener- al, over the heads of all colonels in the army and many lieutenant colonels whose commissions antedated his. On February 5, 1901, he was made major general and placed in command of the department of the lakes. At different times he also commanded the depart ment of the east, the department of California and finally the division of the Pacific. He became lieutenant general September l5, 1906. He was with the Japanese army during the war with Russian and Japan and afterward travelled extensively in the far east and in India.

TELEPHONE BUILT ID GLOBE UNDER
 DIFFICULTY
MANY TROUBLES ENCOUNTERED IN CONNECTING UP LONG
 DISTANCE LINE

TUCSON, June 3.-The telephone line of the Consolidated Telephone, Telegraph and Electric company be- tween Globe and Superior, the latter point midway between Globe and Florence, is being pushed as fast as men can do the work on this gap of twenty eight miles through the hardest country covered in establishing electric connection. It is rock section and great quantities of powder are neces- sary to enable the men to blast holes for the poles.
 The Apache peak is another stretch, compared with which the Yosemite is not to be classed, that is difficult to overcome. Poles are snakedo up the mountains with an effort, but the men are accomplishing results. The regular roundabout route between Globe, via Roosevelt, to Florence, would mean stretching wire ninety miles. The work would not only mean greater outlay, but in the end the cost of maintenance every year would be greater than by the route of twenty eight miles, now being covered.
 The c. T., T. & E. company has its operating force stretching wire on the Fort Lowell line and the next step will be to install the stations, the number of these being increased from fourteen to eighteen since the first canvass for subscriptions was made. Two lines will be installed, one in order to provide capacity to connect with the new gov ernment service. The entire work will be completed this week and then the town people will be privileged to call up their country neighbors without ad- 1 ditional expense.
 The West Congress street line will be started next week, poles being laid | along the route.

J. $. ATTORNEY WAS INTENDED F0R
 MURDER
EASTERN ANARCHISTS SELECTED BY LOT TO KILL J. LB.
 ALEXANDER
PLOT IS DISCOVERED IN TIME
TWO SECRET SERVICE OFFICERS CAME FROM WASHINGTON
 TO TOMBSTONE

PHOENIX, June 3.--By discovering in time the details of the plot, United States Attorney J. l.. B. Alexander s life was probably saved at Tombstone during the progress of the trial of Magon, Rivera and Villareal.
 Not until he left Tombstone to come to Phoenix last Friday did Alexander learn that he had been marked by east. ern anarchists for assassination. He discovered this when secret service agent, who had accompanied him as far as Benson, made it known.
 Little is known as yet of the af- fair, and when Alexander was asked today for details he was unable to furnish but the merest facts regarding his narrow escape from the knife or bullet of an agent of the anarchistic gang.
 According to what is known, two men were selected by lot in an eastern center of the anarchists, probably Pat erson, N. J., to come to Tombstone and murder Alexander because of his vigor in prosecuting the three revolutionists who are now serving eighteen months in Yuma.
 In some manner the secret service learned that an Italian and a French man had been selected to do the bloody work. Without delay two skillfnl de- tectives were hurried to Tombstone, arriving there ahead of the would be murderers.
 In some manner the anarchists learn ed that their plans were known to the government, and before the two men selected to perform the deed got to Tombstone they were stopped on the way and returned hurriedly to the east.
 Speaking of the trial of the revolu- tionists, Alexander said this morning that it was the most sensational in

PRESCOTT MEN WILL TAKE UP LANDS
 IN DESERT
PARTY SELECTS TEN THOUSAND ACRES ON LOWER AGUA
 rRIA RIVER

PRESCOTT, June 3.--After a visit to the non-irrigable and non mineral lands bordering the lower Agua Fria river, which they intend to appropriate June 8, the party of Prescott, Jerome and Williams business men who left here a week ago in two Pullman ears, arrived home yesterday morning. In the party were Thomas Taylor, Jerome; F. L. Wright, Attorney John Mason Ross, Reese M. Ling, E. A. Kastner, Major J. M. Watts, Barney Smith, w. l.. Dustin, David Connor, Harry Heap, c. T. Joslin, Ed Reidy, P. W. Latimer, F. K. Goodman, Bert Johns, H. c. Springer and George Barney.
 Several Phoenix and Wickenburg business men joined the party at the Agua Fria, making twenty eight in all, each of whom did the preliminary work of selecting 320 acres for appro. priation when the land is open for set clement June 3.
 A total of 10000 acres was selected. The lands were appropriated several years ago when the Frog Tanks dam was under construc tion, but were aban- doned after the failure of the Frog Tanks enterprise.
 The land will cost twenty-five cents an acre. Besides the filing fee the cost on half section is estimated at $96. The law under which the appropria. tions will be made requires an annual expenditure of $l an acre on the land. The land seekers figure that the main tenance of their locations for four years will cost at least $500.
 Whether the lands will be irrigated by canals from the Agua Fria river or by pumping plants has not yet been decided. A member of the party stated that the representative of Phoenix electric company offered to build a transmission line to the lands from Phoenix and furnish the power for pumping plants at less expense than they could be operated by gasoline.
 Several favor the sinking of wells at the lntersecting point or every TOUT tracts, from which the tracts can be ir- rigated. Others are in favor of inves- tigating the canal feature of irrigating before any expenditures are made. with the locating of the land it is rumored that the dam at Frog Tanks will be rebuilt. The dam was intend ed to impound waters for irrigating the lands selected for appropriation by the members of the party.
 The ground is admirably located for reclamation. Water can be developed in wells at very reasonable depth. There are other lands adjoining the tract, which will be appropriated by the party, equally as susceptible to re- clamation as the tracts selected.

wished to go to Ashby, N. c., and
that the conductor must take special
care of her, which he faithfully did.
Seated in the car, with the train
going at full speed, Lauretta drew a
breath of deep, exulting relief. Her
baby was safe! The nurse and the
law could never reach her in the

They hurried over to Brezentine's
house. The wretched man, moaning
and groaning, was, the physician
said, beyond all hope. When the
medical man told him that he could
live but few hours longer, he howl
ed like wild beast.
ooh, God will send my soul to
hell" he cried. "Millie, Mile, come
here. Lige did not steal the money.
I stole it, and he went to the peniten-
tiary to shield you. God forgive me

He became speechless. Tears
streamed down Petticord's face, but
they were not in sympathy for Brez-
entine. Mrs. Petticord, taking Mile
into her arms, whispered:
"B'ar up ez we'll ez yer ken The
Lord will bring all things right
A profound sensation was created
when the people heard of Brezentine's
confession, and when they turned
away from new grave in an old
orchard one of the Dye boys re-
marked:
II never throwed dirt on trifin-

A year slowly dragged itself away.
Every night, when the weather was
cool, old man Petticord placed a pile
of corn in the corner where Big Lige's
chair had always stood. People said
that Mile was dying of broken
heart, because her husband persisted
in throwing himself away. Brezen-
tine would not work, and many a
morning, when the snow lay deep on
the ground, old man Petticord was
seen carrying meat and cOrn-meal to
his daughter and her worthless hus-
band.
One evening in December old man
Petticord and his wife sat by the
great log fire. The pile of corn was
in it's place, and the great chair, with
it's raw-hide bottom, stood in the cor
ner.
