ATTEMPT WAS MADE ID SHOOT UP"
 JEROME
Marshal King on Job And Rounded Up
 Gun Men
(From Saturdays Daily)

What is believed to have been a
 concerted plan to "shoot up" the
 town of Jerome, was nipped in the
 bud, or before it had proceeded to any serious extent, by Night Mar shal King of that place.
 At that time a bunch of 13 Mexi- cans put on their firearms and con gregated in front of the Fashion sa- loon at 3 a. m., and commenced to pour in a volley, when Officer King stepped into the play and arrested the whole outfit. Several bullets were sent into the front door, and although the main room of this resort had over 30 people scattered around, no one was struck by the flying bullets.
 What the motive of the gang was could not be learned, but the suppo- sition is that the drunken mob was bent on repeating the tactics of the olden days and desired to wreak ven geanee on all in general and none in particular who got in their way.
 After the mob was broken up by Officer King, Il were placed under bonds ranging from s25 to $50 each, which was furnished by friends, while two of the worst in the bunch could not furnish the collateral, and were placed in the city jail at that place. Judge Dennison being out of the city on vacation, and Judge McLane of this city being the nearest official to try similar cases, the two prisoners were brought here yesterday by Off eer King and their trial will be held this morning on charges of carrying weapons and disturbing the peace of the Copper City.
 The men accused are Antonio Co., dena and Francisco Quionenas. In the general shake up that followed the breaking up of this gang at the time they were arrested, Officer King picked up on the ground three six shooters, while from the persons of he others he secured ten more.

 'This is the second time we have been bothered by burglars. Last sum mer a man entered the grounds, but as we were awake and a light was burning. He left as soon as he realized his efforts to rob the house would be detected. And then another thing occurs to us, a shrewd burglar knows that there are no men around, and with only three helpless women to confront, he could have an easy time of it. That is why I have a pistol handy, and intend to hereafter. Our home, as you know, is in a locality that is out of the way, and it is very dark there at this time of the year on account of the big trees with their heavy foliage"
 Miss Ford is well and popularly known to all in this section of Ari- zona. She was born in Prescott, and is young lady of fascinating man ners and charming personality. In the late contest for honors to the Seattle exposition, that was conducted by the Journal Miner, she headed the list of those who entered, receiving the dis tinetion of winning more votes and carrying off more individual prizes than any other. It is a pleasure Go state that in so far as her personal at fractions and popularity are to be considered, she has the courage to de fend herself and family and if it re- quires the harsher methods she is cap able to resort to that method. Miss Ford is an expert with a revolver.

.P[UCKY GIRL SHOOTS
 AT HUSKY BURGLAR
Courageous Young Woman Fires Three Times at Prowler, Trying To
 Enter House.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Displaying rare courage and remark able eoolness, Miss Zona Ford Thurs day morning at o'clock fired three shots in rapid succession at a man she believed was endeavoring to enter the home occupied by herself and her mother and sister.
 In relating the affair yesterday to a representative of the Journal-Miner, Miss Ford gave an interesting and graphic account of the attempt of some man to commit what she be- lieves was burglary. She said:
 CT was awakened at just 3 o'clock, and my first impression that some thing unusual was taking place was in hearing a scratching at the screen door that leads out of my room. I thought nothing of it at first, believ- ing that it was a pet kitten which was crawling up the door to get into the room, as the weather was slight ly chilly. It was dark, so I could not see anything small. In a few seconds later this sound was repeat ed, and I sat up in bed, at the same time feeling for my Colts .3S cali bre revolver that was lying under the pillow, the sounds this time in dieating to me that they were too loud for a eat to make.
 "TO my horror I saw the reflection of a human form directly in front of the screen. and I raised the gun and door, and after the first shot I arose and rushed to it. Just as I got to the opening I saw q big looking man jumping over the fence about ten feet away, and I fired again. As he was running across the lot then leveled the gun at him and fired another shot.
 "My mother and sister came run ming into my room and wanted to know what was the matter. I don't know what I told them, as by this time I was all excitement and to tell you the truth I hardly knew what I had been doing. When I realized that man was endeavoring to enter my room, and as he was big and look ed like a Mexican, my first impulse was to defend myself, and don't you think I did exactly right7 I believe that the man was feeling for the latch and in running his fingers down the screen door, he made more noise than what he believed he was doing, and accordingly stopped for a few seconds. When he attempted to again feel for the latch the sounds were louder than the first and I believe that button on his shirt sleeve came in contact with the metal and made the noise that brought me to a sitting position, and he saw me at | just the time pulled the trigger. I don t know whether I hit him or not. | The screen is perforated by the bull | let right in the center, and when I fired he was, remember, right in

WIRE HERE FOR
 THE NEW SYSTEM
lFrom Thursdays pailyl

F'rom Thursdays Daily)
 That the Arizona Overland Tele- phone company intends to fulfill its promise to extend its system to Pres colt and thence to Phoenix, is evi- denced by the fact that a carload of copper wire for the company has already arrived at the local depot.
 General Manager W. H. Tharpe, who is now in the city, stated yes terday that there are ten carloads of telephone poles en route, and that as soon as the rainy season is over, two gangs of men will be placed at work in building the line from Ash Fork to this city. A gang will be placed at either end, and four cop per wires will be strung, giving two complete circuits. In regard to the Postal Telegraph company coming into Prescott over the Ash Fork line, MT. Tharpe stated that arrangements to that end had been discussed but that terms had as yet not been agreed upon. If such a contract be con- summated, it will cover the use of the wires to Jerome, thus giving that city telegraphie communication with the outside world.
 Owing to the extreme stormy weather on the north, it has been impossible to expedite work on the telephone system in course of con- struetion along the main line of the Santa Fe. The present energies of the company are being eoneen- trated in completing a gap of 16O miles between Winslow and Flagstaff. Jerome and Globe are now in com munieation with each other over the Arizona Overland's line which has been completed for some time. After the work of connecting Ash Fork and Prescott, the line will be ex- tended to Phoenix, and the next step will be to build to Parker and thence into California.
 As regards erecting an exchange building in this city, MT. Tharpe said that while the headquarters of the company would be in Prescott, yet the erection of building would prob ably not be undertaken until the system itself was in complete opera tion.
 MT. Tharpe reiterated his statement made heretofore that his company would not compete for local busi- ness. saying that the field is not large enough for more than one com pany. Prescott, he said, has the best telephone exchange in the ter ritory, and the Overland would only engage in long distance business. Its large copper wire is expressly for that purpose, and will enable Pres cott subscribers to talk with a per son in Globe or Bisbee as distinctly as though the party at the other end of the line were in this city.

FOREIGN OFFICERS 4
SIGHTED AT TRACK
Racing Association Held Responsible for Humiliation to
Representatives Of Foreign War Ships -Repeti
ton of Similar Dscourtesy at Albany.

NEW YORK, oct. Stupid misman-
agement by some one connected with
the Westchester Racing Association has
caused much Inconvenience and humilia-
ton to sixty officers from the foreign
warships now lying in the Hudson.
They had been invited to attend the
races at Belmont Park. as guests of the
association yesterday. They gathered at
the ferry at East Thirty-fourth street,

with no provision for them TO be taken
TO the track. After waiting patiently for
about half hour they showed due con
sideration for their dignity by returning
TO their ships.
The treatment thus dealt out to the
foreigners, who are the guests OF the
city, almost was on par with that
they received on the occasion Of the Al
bany Burgesses ball, when, In response
TO Invitations. they went TO the Metro
politan Opera House and were held up
at the door for the price Of admission
tickets and hat checks. The attendance
at the track was larger than usual as II
was understood the presence OF The Wis
tors would be used to turn the after
Moons sport into gala occasion. When
the reason for the nOn-appearance OF the
foreigners was learned general disgust
was expressed, all wondering what kind
