EYE WITNESS OF
 HARRIS MURDER
 HASBEENF FOUND
His Identity is Not Made Public, But He Tells Startling Story of the Killing of Arizona East ern Special Policeman

The discovery of an alleged eye-wit- ness to the killing of Special Policeman Charles Harris, the unearthing of pos itive evidence that Ygnacio Martinez now a prisoner at the county jail, was a companion of Francisco Garcia in the holding up of William COnnelley and the subsequent attack on the off cer. and the arrest by the police of Sacramento" VerdugO. for whom search has been in progress from the moment of the discovery of the body of the railroad officer, were the develop ments of yesterday in the work of the authorities in clearing up what remains as a mystery of the murder of Harris
 That any human being outside of those directly connected with the af- fairs was in the immediate vicinity when Harris received his death wound, was not known until yesterday morn ing when mysterious individual, of the genus hobo. admitted that he was within twenty-five or thirty feet of Harris when he fell and that, fearing he might be suspected of complicity in the crime had hidden out until he felt secure from arrest. The authorities are reticent about discussing the incl dent and did not yesterday reveal the name of the man. who if his story proves true. will be the star witness at the trial of Garcia, as well a s of his companions if they are apprehended.
 On the face of the story told by the wanderer, there is much that is given credence He says that he had wand cred along the tracks late Saturday night looking for a comfortable spot in -T,,
 He had no money and finally just south of the Star Lodging House and a few feet from the main line track of the Arizona Eastern he stretched himself upon a little plot of grass He had been asleep, so he says. and awakening saw five men. apparently dragging the body
 of man back of the freight cars standing two tracks away. A minute 1 later he saw three men stop a fourth man on the tracks at South First street and take something from him. The man was an easy victim, he claims, but the holdup men had hardly completed their work when there came
 the flash of a searchlight from around i a ear and an officer with gun drawn appeared.
 With the three hold up men taken
 unawares. says the man, the officer l and the three outlaws almost came into collision. There was a scuffle. in which
 guns were discharged, probably seven
 or eight shots being fired. And ther | one man, who had disengaged himself from the rest, suddenly loomed up in front of the officer with uplifted hand There was a gleam as of a knife and a grOan from the policeman.
 The policeman, according to the story i did not fall at once. but with his gur | still in his hand turned as his assail- 1 ant started for the cars and sent Q | shot after him which brought him tC | his hands and fell backwards.

LAKE SQUALLS WRECK HyDROS

Two of Three Machines Which Start Out from Chicago to Fly Over Lake Michigan to Detroit Fall into Waves

 CHICAGO, July S.-TWo of the three hydro aeroplanes which started from hicago today to fly to Detroit were wrecked over Lake Michigan by squalls and fell into the waves far from land. Anthony Jannus, of St. Louis, and his mechanic. Paul McCul- tough, in a Benoist plane, were picked up off South Chicago by the Steam Sand Dredger Dahlke; Walter John son, of Bath, New York, flying Thomas, alone, was rescued near Whiting, Ind, by the South Chicago United States life saving crew. The Jannus machine was abandoned, but the life savers brought Johnson's Thomas craft to the shore and he may be able to resume the flight.

Johnson's start was de lGNe DN engine lIOUDlC JdIlHuS ilrt'l trouble from the start He ran into a thunderstorm with fierce squalls when he had covered about half the distance, and his machine was forced to descend, but the lake was so rough that it was only with difficulty that Jannus and Mccullough could keep afIoat. The men were padding des- peratelY in an effort to keep their craft right side up when the dredger steamed up to them and threw them lines.
 The rescue was just in time as a few minutes later such d squall blew up that the Dahll<e found it impossible to tow the air craft and was obliged to cast it adrift. The hydro aeroplane drifted out of sight in a few minutes, apparently wreck with both wings torn and broken.

Especial to The RepublicanD

Especial to The RepubICan.)
 NEW YORK, July S.-The RidgWay company has filed in the federal dis trict court. it's answer in a libel suit brought against it by Richard E. Sloan. former governor of Arizona, on account of certain statements contained in an article entitled Uncle sam Law breaker"
 The company admits the publica- tion, but denies that the article was published wantonly, maliciOusly. or un lawfully. It denies also that former Governor Sloan has always enjoyed a good reputation, personally or as a lawyer. It says that he had almost con tinuOusly held public office by appoint ment and not by election and that from 1889 to 1904 and from 1897 to 1900 he was associate judge of the supreme court of the territory of Arizona and from May 1, 1900 to February 10. 1912, he was governor of the territory of Arizona and from August 2, 1912 to the date of the publication of the article he was United States district judge for Arizona.
 During these periods. it is alleged that the only practice of law in which lie was engaged was coincidentally with the performance of the duties of judge or governor, and that his repu tation, professional official and per sonaI. has been and is most nOtOriously bad
 Consequently it is contended the publication of the article cannot have damaged the plaintiffs reputation for integrity. honesty and impartiality, and so it is asked that the suit be dismissed.

Manager of Street Railway Company Says the Cars Were Withdrawn at Night Because of Danger to Passengers

That quantity of explosive suf- ficient to have blown the entire front end off a street car, was placed on the track of the Washington street line between Seventh and Eighth avenues, early last evening. is the charge made by Manager $. IT Mitchell of the Phoenix Railway company Only for the fact that a powerful headlight revealed the pres ence of a package upon the track and caused the motOrmen to bring the car to a stop before the danger point was reached prevented what might have been a serious incident of the present strike
 According to MT. Mitchell he had determined to make the attempt to run his cars in the evening for the first time since the carmen went out over two weeks ago. He had been asking for further police and sher- ifrs protection, but, in his estima- tion he has never been afforded an adequate force of officers to combat the disorderly element
 We attempted to run the cars in the evening"" said Mir. Mitchell last night and our cars and the men operating them received stones bricks and eggs at five different places The switch at Seventh ave nue and Washington street was blocked and would have caused de railment if the fact had not beer discovered before an attempt was made to run a car over that point.
 And then came the climax of th' attempt to run cars at night witt the discovery of a package or eX' nIosive sufficient to have blown thu

Savings which also suffered some what from the complications, a run being started yesterday chiefly by the small depOsitors. This continued in somewhat greater magnitude early today but appeared to abate as the day wore on.
 Small groups of depOsitors entered the bank and were promptly paid $50 upon demand as yesterday and were required to give the legal no tice of 30, 50 or 90 days to withdraw other amounts above the stated figures. Yesterday $57.0OO was with drawn from the bank while the de posits were $2000O. About noon an announcement was made that J. s. Kuhn, the president and w. S. Kuhn the vice president, had resigned and w. J. Jones, the former secretary treasurer was made president with A. N. Voegty, the former assistant to Jones, secretary, while l.. M Plummer, the auditor was made vice president.
 From the time this announcement was made the run perceptibly abated and the crowd disap pepared until at closing time the vicinity of the bank differed from no other business day
 The expected statements as tu the American Waterworks and Guaran- tee company were not forthcoming today and the delay is attributed tC the delay in the appointment of a fourth receiver. No developments were announced from the First Sec ond National and today little is eX- pected until Receiver c. c.
