Now about the same time that the
puppies died there was an increase IN
the family of one of the sows on the
Dunlop place. The SOW died shortly
after her pigs were born, and Mr.. Dun

milk bottle. They thrived well. but
seemed to miss their mother as much
as the shepherd dog missed her Off
spring. So Mr.. Dunlop tried an ex'

He carried the three little Jersey
red pigs out to the dogs kennel ana

Caves of = CannibaI Race.

Strange evidences of cannibalism
have been brought to light with the
recent opening up of caves at One
Tree Hill, Maungakiekie, New South
Wales, and another link has been
added to the chain Of interest en-,
circling this celebrated spot.
In one cave great piles of human
homes have been discovered, mixed up
indiscriminately and thrown down in
one huge conical heap. These bones
belonged to victims taken by the
Maoris in battle and slaughtered for
culinary purposes. Then they were
dropped down the funnel.shaped
mouth of the cave into darkness and
oblivion.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Kings Jest.

A short time after two boats pulled
away from the Britannia. In one OF
them sat the majesty of England.
There was more rrlffling of bugles,
more rolling of drums, more blaring OF
trumpets, more laundering of guns,
more hurrahing from the men. as the
little king, thoroughly delighted with
his royal clemency, was rowed back
to the shore.
The other boat departed shortly
after the kings, without exciting the
slightest attention The officer of the
deck escorted Darlington over the side,
shook hands with him and the boat
pulled away to the Bellona, hand
some 32-gun frigate fresh from the
shipyards and ready for her maiden
cruise, which lay near by.
Darlington was received there with
some ceremony. His arrival had been

report that MT. St. Charles had stat ed after the vote on the Pace bill, that he had been offered $1O,OOO to vote against the bill Who had made such an offer was not stated, and so far as known, rumor had not connected the name of any particu- lar person with it.
 MT. St. Charles denied yesterday that he had been offered that or any other sum for his vote against the bill and he and Mrs. St Charles CO., robOrated the testimony of Chairman J. P. Dillon of the democratic terri torial committee given earlier in the day

endeavored to bring MT St Charles into line. His representations had been made in the presence of Mrs St. Charles. There had been no talk of money; nothing but party loyalty and possibly the penalty for kicking over the traces.
 Councilman William Morgan of Navajo county will probably be here today. It has not been charged that anybody ever offered Mir. Morgan a bribe, and it is generally agreed that nobody interested in the liquor busi- ness would have had so little wit as to approach MT. Morgan with a bribe on that or any other subject. But it had been reported that it was to him that MT. St. Charles had stated that he had been offered S10, 900.
 A telegram was received by the sheriff from Assemblyman Sutter of Cochise county. who was with his wife at Los Angeles MT. Sutter had just learned that a subpoena had been issued for him. He said that he had been summoned before the United States grand jury at Tomb stone today and had expected to be there, but that if his presence before the Phoenix grand jury was still de- sired, he would come here instead. The grand jury having heard the statement of MT. St. Charles, di rected the sheriff to reply to MT. Slut ter that he need not come
 It is probable that a report will be made upon the matter today, though it is possible that the grand jury will ignore the subject altogether.

ARRESTED ON 4
 FELONY CHARGE
Pidgeon Says "lt's All Mistake" but Will Be Returned to Scene of Crime, Just the Same.

Joe V. Pidgeon, alias Frank Howard, was arrested late last night at the Doris rooming house, 32 South Sec ond avenue, by Marshal Moore on tele- graphic instructions from Chief of Po- lice Wilson of Oakland, Cal. Pidgeon is wanted in that city on a felony charge, the nature of which was not made known in the telegram. When arrested, Pidgeon said that his name was Howard, and made the usu- al explanation that it was "all a mis- take" He declined to give any in timation as to the nature of the crime for which he is wanted in Oakland, and at first said that he would not return to California without extradi- tion papers, but later changed his mind and agreed to go back without caus- ing unnecessary trouble.
 When Marshal Moore went to the Doris, Pidgeon was out, but he found woman friend of the man there and decided to wait. After waiting for some time, he heard Pidgeon, or How ard, as he is known at the roomlng house, coming up the stairs. The man entered the room carrying a couple of bottles of beer under one arm and a package of sandwiches under the other.
 "Is your name Pidgeon?" asked the marshal
 'No; it's Howard" he replied What do you want?"
 q have a telegram for you" Pidgeon read the telegram calmly. Well, I'll go over to the jail with you, but it is all a mistake Turning to the woman, he said: Be sure and come over to the jail tomorrow and see me-" which she promised to do.
 He will be held till an officer is sent from Oakland to take him there

PLEASANT SURPRISE
 0F FRANK DAVIS
He Made All Arrangements To Go To Peritentiary.

The most surprised man in town yesterday was Frank Davis who was given an indeterminate sentence for forgery yesterday, the sentence being | suspended during his good behavior Davis had pleaded guilty to the indict- ment or the indictments against him, for there were four of them. He had obtained a genuine check from L. B. Orme for SS.75, and had made four others as nearly like it as possible and obtained cash on all of them. When sentences were passed on those who had come before him, sen tences ranging from two and half to five years, Davis had settled in his own mind that he would get about four years.
 When he was asked why sentence should not be pronounced upon him, Davis made as good talk as possible; he said that he was not criminally inclined but that he had committed those forgeries while under the influ- ence of liquor.
 When the court pronounced the in determinate sentence having taken Davis at his word, he nearly fell out of his chair The real force of the blow however did not occur to him until later when he had regained his free dom he remembered that he had given all his clothes away to his fellow pris- oners, except such as he would have to wear to Yuma. Among his bequests were a valise, fifteen pairs of socks some extra shirts and a couple of pairs of trousers.
 He was now thus left at freedom with not a change of clothing.
 But said he, this sunshine looks good to me- that life of inactivity I've gone through has been a good whip ping and hereafter I'll be a good dog No more booze for me. When the judge was handing those packages around to the boys I bid farewell to life for four years but when I heard the indeterminate sentence I made up my mind that I would be a different man."
 Within fifteen minutes after he was turned loose, Davis had secured a job
