Motor Car No. 50.

The arrival Tuesday morning in Nogales of a monster fred devil" passenger motor car, No. 50, from Omaha, in charge of Engineer J. c. Taylor, caused unusual excitement in the local railroad yards, many people having never before seen one of these fine big coaches. the weight of which is 62,7OO pounds. MT. Taylor was nine days on the road between here and Omaha, but ap- peared in excellent health and spirits when he arrived at the in ternational border.
 After spending Tuesday night in the city, MT. Taylor left for En- palme Wednesday morning with his handsome red car. being ac- companied by Superintendent H. J. Temple and L. E. Ross, his pri- vate secretary.
 The car will be used to carry passengers between Empalme and Guaymas. It IS understood that the big railroad company contem- plates purchasing a number of these motor cars for use on it's Mexican lines.

Murderer Held Without Ball.

Tombstone, Aug. 17-The pre- liminary hearing of William Pfaun- kuche, charged with the murder of Asa T. Hoy and William Book holt at Bisbee last week, was held in Tombstone th1s afternoon. The complaints against the defendant were sworn out in Judge McFar- lands court this morning by As sistant District Attorney Elan nigan. The prisoner was brought before Judge Mcfarland at time when but few persons were present in the court room, no intimation of the time when the hearing would take place having heen given out. The prisoner, who was without counsel, waived examination and was held to await the action of the grand jury withou. bail. The en- tire proceedings consumed but few moments. Upon hearing the judges decision Pfaunkuche cooly remarked, Well, that will hold me for aWhile."
 The board of supervisors of Co., chise county have adopted a re- solution requesting Judge Doan to order a special grand jury to in vestigate the crime and a trial jury for the purpose of bringing the accused to trial at once. The cold blooded killing of Asa T. Hoy and William N. Bockholt, has stirred the people of Arizona more than any crime committed in the terri tory in many years, and everybody is anxious 10 see the murderer brought to trial at once.

ARIZONA WINNERS
Page and PickenS Get First Money at Butte-McLean Also au Easy
 MOney-Getter.


 Miners union picnic Monday, by the remarkable narrow margin of one thirty-second of an inch, Butte's great team of drillers, Nc Nicolls and Ross. lost first prize to the Globe team of Page and Pick ems of Globe Arizona. The skill of the Globe team took chief honors at the Butte meet, and incidentally lost for Butte the additional $500 offered by John D. Ryan, provided a Montana team won.
 The scores made by the teams getting the first three places were: Page and Pickens, 43 2S-32 inches. McNicolls and Ross 43 2732 nches. MeLain and Carter 40 5-S inches.
 Page and Pickens were the third team to mount the rock, one of the hardest blocks ever ta ken from the Welch quarry, and declaired by many miners to be as hard as the famous Gunnison Granite of Colo rado. The fact that Pickens and McNicolls won the championship at Spokane last year by drilling 56 inches, added great interest to to- days contest, both champions be- ing entered with different partners.
 The annual senior championship meet of the ameteur Athletic union held at the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition stadium Saturday after noon brought to the front the little Indian from Arizona, who defeated the pick of the country's five mile runners.
 The most spectacular event of the day was the five mile race in which Harry Mclean, the Indian from Phoenix, was pitted against the pick of the country's runners. The fieet-footed red man, who was smaller than any of his competitors, took the lead in the fourth lap and set a grueling pace that soon play ed havoc with the fed. k. G. Bel lars of the New York Athletic club proved his most dangerous com petitor, and soon succeeded in talk ing the lead from the Indian. He endeavored to slow down the pace, but Mclean forced the issue, and by pressing his man tired him so that he could not stand the final spurt, which began as the shot was fired for the twentieth and last lap.
 Bellars made game effort against his Indian opponent, and with brilliant burst of speed gathered good lead. He could not hold it, however, for Mclean was on his heels at the half, and as they entered the stretch the Ari- zona runner developed a burst of speed that sent him across the line several yards the winner. F. Jack son of Seattle, who finished third, came in lap and a quarter be- hind the winner. Mclean, who had local reputation at Phoenix, was sent to Seattle by the Phoenix Elks' lodge.

Editor Daily News.
Dear Sir-Several days ago there
appeared in The News an article sign
ed by T. NJ. A., stating that Alderman
Lasseter had very blithely notified
the citizens Of Hattiesburg that
their taxes would be made higher
and requested that l should explain
why, with my promises before cleo
ton, and wanted to know II was
On record voting against the raise
Of Chief Potter's salary all OF which
| answered At the time I read the
article | thought it rather personal
as l was not the whole board, rnef,
being a mayor and nine aldermen,
but being a public servant of the cit
liens of Hattiesburg, and that per-
haps it would be good for the public
if matters in which they were or
should be interested were discussed
through the press that they might be
familiar with the doing of the city
council and with no intention ..
bringing personal matters in the com
munication, l answered.
As T. NJ. A. is inclined to inject
what seems to me much personalities
in his communications, and in my
opinion does not interest the readers
of your paper, and that the press is
no place for any one to discuss per
sonalities, l therefore beg to advise
| that l will not discuss the matter any
further through the columns of your
paper, but will accommodate T. M. A
with an interview if he wishes, If he
| will let me know who he is. The
four months that I have served the
city I have tried to post myself on
| all holdings of the city. l no doubt
have made errors, and may continue
to make them, and as the old saying
is misery loves company" l have
the satisfaction of knowing that
am not by myself. I am taxpayer
and when the levy is made higher
and assessments raised it hurts me
as we'll as others. The taxable prop
erty in Hattiesburg is something
like eight million dollars, and the
present levy of twelve mills WITH
our bond issues and other indebted
ness that we have to take care OF
with the local expenses is not enough
to meet the demands, and unless "
have retrenchment and reform we
may, and that very soon, expect
higher taxation. AS an old saying
"Too late to lock the stable door after
the horse has gone" I do not loof
upon the board as perfect; sugges
lions from our citizens given in the
proper spirit will help the board =
adjust matters, and I for one wou.s
he very glad to have them make any
suggestion as to any way that we
could better the conditions of our
CITY in any particular.
Thanking you for your kindness
beg to remain, very truly,
c. T. LASSETER.

Rhinoceros a Bad Foe.

From the Century.
 While easily stallSed, the rhinoceros is dangerous customer, as most men will agree who have, hunted him, especially Benjamin Eastwood. chief accountant of the Uganda railway, who was nearly trampled to death by one, with the ac- tual loss of an arm above the elbow. If the rhinoceros gets one scent he all most invariably charges, often, probably, from sheer curiosity; but that does not make him any the easier to dispose of.
 Moreover he runs and turns at 8 speed inconceivable in beast of his vast bulk. Against his massive. sloping head the heaviest bullet is a mere flea bite, leav- ing no possibility of a stopping shot ex- cept with hard nose ball sent fairly into the heart through the chest. An alter native is to stand absolutely motionless, when, with his bad eyesight, there is a possibility he may mistake you for a tree, and veer past. Indeed, the best ruse in the crisis of any charge is to stand fast and still; for even the un- wounded Hon sometimes swerves in his charge and retires before a man who has the nerve to wait his coming
