 Causes a Stampede

Consternstion reigned among the Apache Mohsve Indian, near Camp Verde, last week, when A hydropho- bis skunk entered several tepees and caused stampede.
 Before the animal was killed it had bitten two squaws, one on the foot snl theother in the hand,
 The arr val in Prescott saturday of Indian Agent T Gabbsrd with one of the squsws bitten, en route to Los Auge'es to receive treatment at the branch of the Pssteur Institute, gave the affair somewhat of an interesting consideration, due to the wild frenzy that seized these wards of the govern ment when the deadly little animals made its entree into their quarters.
 MT. Gabbsrd states that when the animal was first detected, buck grabbed it by the body and hurled it into the air When 1t struck the ground it lodged against A squsw over eighty years old, and instantly seized her by the hand, sinking its teeth to the bone.
 After 1t was choked loose, it reless- ed its hold, and instantly seized another squaw On the foot, few feet distant It was later killed with rocks.
 The old squsw was i'll at the tune, and was unable to get away from the animal, not seeing il until it had at tackled her. All efforts to make her appreciate her serious condition failed and she would not consent 10 the white mans treatment It is feared she will die,

paper says today:
IAN investigation of suspected land

lieved to have been instituted and
actively pushed by Secretary of the In
terror Richard A. Ballinger, who is be-
lieved to be anxious to clear his de-
partment from the stigma considered to
attach as a result of the Cunningham
and CLAWS episodes.
1.-THE first of entrymen involved are
said to include many men of prom
inence in Spokane and the inland em-
pire, as we'll as others Of even ma
tional importance.

ANITA BALDWIN
FEARS KIDNAPERS

Rumors of an attempt to kidnap
Miss Anita Baldwin, claimant to
share of the $11,000,000 estate left by
the late ID. J. (LuclSy) Baldwin, caused
excitement In San Francisco and Los
Angeles last night. When the rumors
reached her attorneys here the wires
were kept hot in an effort to learn
details of the attempt. The last re-
ports were that such a plan had been
formed but that 1t had not been put
into execution.
Mrs. Lillian Ashley Turnbull and
her daughter, Miss Baldwin, are at
the Hotel Manx in San francisco.
They arrived there yesterday morning
en- route from Los Angeles to Brook
line, Mass, their home. The stop In
San Francisco was made for the pur-
pose of visiting places associated with
memories OF the dead former turf
king.
Soon after Mrs. Turnbull and her
daughter took rooms at the hotel, ac-
cording to reports which reached Los
Angeles, two strangers appeared and
were insistent in their attempts to get
q room near that of Miss Baldwin.
Mrs Turnbull had been put on her
guard by warning received earlier
in the day. Unusual precautions were
taken.
II the plan was formed, as stated, it
was abandoned. apparently. Dis
patches received in Los Angeles gave
the name of one of the men and told
of Mrs. Turnbull's efforts to keep her
daughter out Of his reach. His name
is withheld because. in the absence OF
a specific attempt, the evidence against
him Is purely circumstantial.
Attorney Gesner Williams, of coun-
sci for Miss Baldwin, stated last night
that Attorney Isidore Dockweiler, also
OF counsel for Miss Baldwin, told him
he had received such an intimation.
Efforts to reach Attorney Dockweiler
early this morning were fruitless.
Mrs. Turnbull teiegraphed her Los
Angeles attorneys for advice yester-
day, according to San Francisco re-
ports. 1t is presumed that in taking
their instructions.

After throwing the gauntlet to the
Southern Pacific, Mr.. Bell said that he
felt something like Diogenes looking
for an honest man. He had Travelled
the state over, but had not yet discov-

governor, both on the same platform,
and pleaded with his hearers to elect
