T hasn't had nothin' but coffee. g replied the negro porter. "and there is a sure nough animal here"
 Francke came sleepily from behind the desk and became thoroughly awake with a start, for sure enough there was strange visitor in the 'Gadsden lobby Investigation show ed that it was a fine badger, beauti- fully marked and as grey as he Is proverbially conceded to be. Francke rsptured him and put him in a box h the pantry back of the office desk where he remained until this morning when Billy Bridges was told to take the animal over to the International office, and there he is today The little fellow is fully grown and ap- pears to have been slightly wounded recently which may explain the tame ness or it may be that the fuzzy gray chap is someone's pet. If that is the case the owner may have the animal by calling at International to prove property. Otherwise some business man will be given the animal and a home found for him.

PENNEY WORKS
 OA STATEHOOD
Makes Effort to Induce Sen atorS to Take Interest in Real Needs of All Rights For Arizona.


 PHOENIX. Dec. 17.-While Arizona appears to stand better chance oi admission to statehood than it ever has in the past. Judge D. H. Pinney, who is now in Washington. D. C., iu a letter received from him by Attor ney J H. Langston. his law partner, views the present situation with some alarm.
 Pinney. is making an effort to wir over the members of the senate who are not yet convinced that Arizona should be admitted. Their main ob- jection is a fear that Arizona will adopt a constitution like that of Ok lahoma.
 In his letter to Langston, Judge Pinney makes the following comment on the statehood situation in Wash ington:
 If statehood for Arizona is defeat sd at this session of congress, it will
 be done by members of the senate
 who favor putting off our admission for another year.
 Chairman Hamilton of the house committee on territories thinks enough votes can be secured in the senate to carry bis bill through.
 My work will be to explain mat ters to the senators who are in favor Of postponing our admission and get them to aid the general admission at this session. As my work will be entirely with the senators, I will be in position to know the situation there
 Some of the senators are fearful that Arizona may want to make a con stitution like that of Oklahoma, and for that reason they want the con vention to frame the constitution be- fore the state officers ar elected.
 There may be trouble in getting
 the bill for our general admission through this session.
 ''I shall make it my business to see senators like Beveridge, Nelson and Aldrich and get them on our side.
 T saw Senator Frye, and explained to him that the people could be trust ed to make a goou consutuuon, and explained to him that the Hamilton bill provided for the adoption of the constitution first, and after that vote for state officers. He seemed to think that would do.
 Later 1 explained these matters to Senator Cullom, and he tbinks the Hamilton bill will be satisfactory.
 Tt Is certain that there is work to he aone nere, ysJ 1 lnay succeed in helping to arrange matters so that the general bill will go through. I intend to stay here as long as my linn ited means will allow, and hope to be able to accomplish something for Arizona among the members of the senate who have not yet become champions of our cause"

OLD TIMER VISITS
 SCENES OF OLD DAYS
COL. JOHN 8. MARTIN COMES TO SPEND HOLIDAY WITH FORMER FRIENDS.

TUCSON. Dec 17.-Colonei and Mrs. John B. Martin of New York, are visiting here as the guests of Mrs. W. H. Barnes. They will remain in Tucson over the holidays.
 Colonel Martin is an old timer 1T Tucson and during the lifetime of the late Judge Barnes was a mem Der of the big law firm of Barnes & Martin. During his residence in this territory Colonel Martin held a number of high official positions. He is a consistent Arizona booster and since his residence in New York has interested large amount of cap ital in this territory and in Sonora. Speaking of the financial condi- tions in the East, Colonel Martin said they were steadily improving. He said the big copper interests in

 |the East were deeply interestei in the proposed copper merger which was expected to have a decidely sr1f- fening influence on the price of cop per. Colonel Martin said that .Ari- zona propositions were being far more fayorably considered in the fast now than they were few months ago. The impression seems general that the territory in on the eve of a great future and much interest is taken by New York financial men in the effect that the probable coming Of statehood will 'have on our mining and other iB- terests. Sonora and the west coast of Mexico is also attracting much at tention from eastern financiers owing to the work Hartman and his sue cessors have done towards che devel- opment of that section.

IS ARRESTED
Alleged That He Attempted to As
sault 0-Year-Ol Daughter of Lin
ton Merchant-MOther Creates a
Sensation in Court-Man Held ON
Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars Bail.

Linton, April ia man claiming
the name of J. Bierman. who says he
was born in Russia, and who is ap-
parently about 80 years old, called
at the home of Andrew Boschker,
merchant of Strasburg. Mr.. Bosch
ker was busy in his store, and Mrs.
Boschker was making a brief call at
a neiglbor's house. The rubber buy
er asked one of the children, g.
year-old whether about the house
there was any old rubbers that he
could buy. The child had seen some
old rubber shoes in shed back OF
the house, and sac said she would
go and get them. The man accom-
panied her. 1t was in the shed that
the attempted assault took place.
The scoundrel cautioned the child not
to tell her mother, but she told her
as soon as she saw her.
The man was arrested by the vii
|lage marshal. The s6eriff and states
attorney were phoned for. When
they reached Strasburg the town was
in commotion. The man had already
received a coat of tar and feathers
and a rope had been produced. But
the advice of the cooler folks had
so far prevailed, although every min
ute that the people had in which to
think of the peculiar vlllany of the
offense made them more angry. It
is probable that had the man remain
ed there much longer there would
have been no trial of him at the next
term of court. The sheriff and
states attorney brought the man,
clad in his coat of tar and feathers
and his usual clothing over the
sticky coat, to Linton and lodged him
in jail.
The brute had his examination be-
fore Judge Clint. Wagner yesterday
afternoon. The justice wanted to hold
him without bail. But it was shown
that the law allowed him to go free
on giving a reasonable amount of
bail, so the justice made it two thou
sand five hundred dollars. This bail
could not be given, and the prisoner
will remain in jail until the next
term of court.
During the trial, while the inno-

cent little girl was giving her testi-
mony as to the conduct of the brute,
her mother, justly beside herself
with rage threw the purse or hand
satchel she was carrying, the same
being quite heavy on account OF Its
contents, and struck her child's as
sailant squarely in the mouth. Under
ordinary circumstances this would
have raised a commotion; but the ex-
IRENE provocation of the mother in
listening to the story of the attempt
ed outrage, and seeing the beast be-
fore her., excused her in the minds Of
every one present, neither the justice
nor an attorney on either side calling
her to account. In fact, the incident
did not cause a ripple in the proceed
ings, for every one knew from the
manner of the little girl that she
was telling the absolute truth.
The prisoner admits going to the
shed, but denies taking liberties with
the child.
The sheriff IS something of hunt
err. He has hunted pretty much ev-
erything in these parts that flies.
He has brought down anything and
everything from wild geese to jack
snipes. He has plucked the feathers
from big birds and little birds. But
it is doubtful whether he ever pluck
ed bird that furnished him as diff
ficult a job as did the plucking Of the
featthers-and tar-fro mthe bird"
furnished to him Tuesday by the peo-
pie of Strasburg.
