Joseph 6eekIey, Desperate, captur
 ed.
 Last Monday morning, near Topock A. F. Harris, J. P. Gideon. deputy sheritfs, and two Wallapai Indians, Policeman Jack and Deaf Bob, came upon Joseph Beckley lying down peacefully under a bridge. He made no resistence when the officers ordered Hands up," but quietly submitted to arrest. He was at once taken to To- pock, where deputy Harris boarded a freight train and brought the much wanted man to the county jail.
 The chase alter Beckley began at Chloride Tuesday night of last week, but after one day of hot chase the off, cers returned and the work of trailing the man down was taken up by King man officers. They took the mans trail Thursday and never left it until they overlook him as above stated. The Indian trailers with the party state that it was one of the hardest trials to keep they ever undertook to follow. The fugitive tried every dodge known to the professional to throw the men off his track, going up almost perpendicular cliffs, doubling back, in and out of boulder strewn canyons, but all to no purpose. In covering the distance between Chlo- ride and Topock the man must have travelled fully one hundred and fifty miles, and that with practically noth- ing to eat during the seven days of flight. Beckley had no idea that there was any one on his trail after the second day and when the officers told him they had followed every foot of his route from the Burns ranch to the place where they found him, he said, "Gentlemen, take my hat off to you; l had no idea any one could have fol- lowed my trail"
 It will be remembered that Beckley shot and terribly wounded Bob. Cald- well, at Chloride, a week ago last Tuesday, when that man tried to pre- vent Beckley from shooting John Ware and w. H. Hall. Caldwell is improving somewhat and it is the opinion of the doctors that he will get we'll. Beckley is to have his hearing on the charge at Chloride today.

Cholera Morbus Cured.

This is one of the most severe and dangerous diseases. In almost every neigh borhood someone has died from it. Mrs. w. E. Smith of La Marque, Texas, writes: My little girl was taken with cholera morbus. The at tack was so severe that I feared she would die. A druggist advised me to give her Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I did and three doses of it relieved her." For sale by H. H. Watkins.

The mountaineering to Patten:

According to his opponents: Skillful
speculation and manipulation.
The Patten wheat corner passed into
history Saturday at Chicago. Sitting
before the quotation board in his Office
when the market closed, the man who
had brought to a successful issue the
most profitable deal in the history Of
the Chicago grain market said only
this:
Il have claimed there was no corner
in May wheat and 1 have proved it. /
could have put the price to S1.50 at
any time during the last few weeks,
but j did not want to squeeze any one
or make a fictitious price.
And this is what some Of the
shorts said:
May Have Feared Failures.
A man who had made three or four
millions of dollars can well afford to
be magnanim0us. But we are not sure
whether the wheat king eased up on
us because he did not want to squeeze
or because lac was afraid if he put on
the screws any tighter be would have
TO take what be could get from lo'
OF bankrupts.

charged directly with only one failure

PORTO RICAN LABOR
APPEALING TO TAFT
Claim Made That DeplOrable
Conditions Which Should Be
Remedied Exist.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27,-With more
than 100000 agricultural and industrial
workers, including men, women, and
children, in Porto Rico, described as
being in an economical and socially de-
plorable condition, representatives. of
organized labor in that island today APP
pealed to President Taft for the ameli-
oration of the condition of the laborlng
people there.
Headed by Santiago Iglesias, a dele.
gate from the free federation of work
ingmen of Porto Rico, a committee rep
resenting that organization called upon
President Taft at the white house and
laid before him a voluminous petition
setting forth the alleged conditions.
Roosevelt Had Promised.
A somewhat similar representation
was made TO President Roosevelt about
two years ago, when, 1t is set forth,
Mr. Roosevelt promised to do what he
could to cause n change for the better
The petitioners seek an increase in

factories and workshops, the abolition
of convict labor. prohibition Of the EN-.
ployment Of children under Il years of
age in factories, the application of the
eight-hour and employers liability act,
and citizenship for Porto Ricans.
The charge is made that the legis-
lative assembly, dominated by the
Unionist party, has committed itself
against the enactment of labor laws to
better the conditions of workingmen
in that island, while capital is af-
forded every opportunity TO utilize its

ONLY PROSPECTING WORK
ON CUNNINGHAM CLAIMS

SEATTLE, Nov. 27.-The land of
flee inquiry into the validity of the
Cunningham coal land claims, valued at
$50, 100000 in the Katalla district Of
Alaska, was adjourned today until next
Thursday morning at 10 clock in
Spokane, after the testimony Of Squire
G. Chesum, who was foreman of work
on the Cunningham claims for three
years, had been taken, Chesum, who
is the locator Of the eleven coal land
claims known as the Chesum group,
north of the Cunningham group, is a
practical miner. He testified that the
work done by his men, mostly Indians,
was prospecting, TO make known the
extent of the coal deposits. Much work
had been done on trails to enable the
men to reach their camps and carry
supplies.
On cross examination, Cbesum testi.
fled that the long tunel on the Tenino
claim, which government witnesses had
said was apparently built for the pur-
pose Of mining coal from several claims,
was made for the sole purpose of in
vestigating the coal vein, which was
thick at this point.

CHRISTY CHILD STILL
In FATHERS CUSTODY

GAINESVILLE, O., Nov 27.-The ha-
beas corpus proceedings brought by Mrs.
Mabel f.. Thompson Christy, wife of the
artist Howard Chandler Christy, began
today.
Mr. Christy was present in the crowd
ed courtroom, but the announcement was
made that his wife was detained in
New York and would not be here until
next week
After considerable preliminary fenc.
ing, c. c. Lemcrt, counsel for Mrs,
Christy, asked that the time for the
hearing be extended, rs Mrs. Christy
was unable TO he present. He continued
by moving that the child. who was in
court with her father, be placed In the
custody of the sheriff,
Lawyer Durham vigorously objected
and demanded that the child be left in
the custody of her father After consid-
cradle argument the court ruled that
the girl should remain in her father IS
charge, his lawyer promising that she
would be produced in court when neces.
sary. The court set the hearing for
December II and is, at which timo it
was announced that several witnesses
would be present from New York to
give testimony.
Mr.. Christy declined to state whether
or not there was any foundation for the
rumors of n reconciliation.

TARIFF WAR WITH CANADA
OVER PULP AND PAPER LIKELY

mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, Of which he is tho new chair
man.
Mr.. Mann says under the rules OF
the house If the ways and means COM
mite declines to report upon his propo-
sitions he can bring them before the
house at any time by motion to take
them away from the committee on ways
and means and refer them to his own
committee.
In the last congress, when tho ways
and means committee was ondeavorlng
to smother the bill introduced by Mr..
Mann to prevent tho importation of
smoking opium. he sent notice to
every member of the house that on
certain morning he would move to
take the bill from the ways and means
committee and refer it to a friendly
committee. Tho result was a passage
at arms between Mann and PAYNE of
tho ways and means committee on the
floor Of the house, but Payne was COM
PEELED to report Mann 3 opium bill and
it became law.
Mr.. Mann says unless some legisla-
ton, such as he proposes, be adopted,
or reciprocal treaty with China be
agreed to, Canada, smarting under the
injustice of the Payne tariff law, is
likely to forbid the expectation OF pulp
States, and thereby not only close up
number Of newspaper mills of the
United States, but increase the cost and
price OF print paper TO point which
will lnflict tremendous injury not only
upon tho newspapers. but upon the book
publishers, including especially school
books
