MULE WANDERED
WITHOUT FOOD LONG TIME


Additional particulars of the death
of Manuel Silva, whose body was
found near Burro Creek a few days
ago by John Neal, were obtained
yesterday over the telephone from
T. E. Pollock, at Flagstaff. The
latter was associated with the de-
ceased in the sheep business.
The deceased had left the camp
on a mule, and had one Mexican
herder, who was left in charge of
the several hundred head. He stat
ed that he would look for a new
field in which to GRACE, and would
return the following day. He took
in his saddle bags enough food to
last for that time Waiting for three
days for Silva to return the Mexican
gave the alarm and a search was
started, but without success. The
sheep were then returnd north and
further efforts to locate the man was
abandoned. Last January the mule
ridden by Silva was found along
Burro Creek in famished condition
with the bride in place, but the
saddle had disappeared. The reins
of the bride had been torn into
shreds, but the head strap that held
the curb bit in the mouth of the
animal was still carried. This pre-
vented the animal from taking food
into its mouth readily, which &C
counts for it being in such poor
condition, although grazing was
good in that section.
Where the body of the man sup
posed to be Silva was found is
about ten miles from the camp
from which he started. The country
is wild and uninviting even to the
hardy rangemen and is seldom fire.

deep canyons and the scarcity of
water. Silva was said to be subject
to heart trouble and where the body
was found is deep in a canyon be-
low a level stretch of land, indicat-

the steep incline. Today it is be

Monday for the point, distant about

ONE MORE FORM
OF CRAFT IS
INVENTED

NEW YORK, March 21.-As a
result of the recent decision of the
Appellate term of the Supreme
Court that owners and operators of
restaurants actually are responsible
for the coats, hats and umbrellas
of their guests, even though they
display signs to the contrary, has
added another and a new line of
great graft to the city's already
long list.
AS soon as those citizens of Ne1
York who are always ready for
some new means of making money
without the expenditure Of physical
labor had digested the decision which
awarded $40 damages to a customer
OF an overcoat stolen in such res
taurant, new route TO easy at
fluence and square meals appeared.
The get-rich-easy scheme as des-
cribed by one vexed restaurant man
is operated as follows: Two confed-
crates come in, one with a coat,
the other coatless. They sit at
separate places and order ten cents
worth of food. The coatless one
gets up first and takes his pals
coat. He goes out. Then the orr
ginal coat owner gets up to find
his garment gone. Immediately fol-
low threats of an expensive suit,
and subsequently offers to compro-
mise for cash. If the owner is
foolish enough to accept the latter,
it is practically certain that he is
victim of a swindle. The popularity
of this new scheme is indicated by
the statement OF one OF the largest
operators of low priced eating places
in the city.
If this decision stands we viii
have lawsuits on our hands all the
year around. They've been at me
like flies after a molasses barrel
since this decision. I've done the
only thing l can, which is to tell
them to go ahead and sue if they
want to-" In the meantime ihe
new graft progresses merrily and the
number of claims made daily for
alleged lost overcoats is becoming
so great as to indicate that if they
are true the city may soon become
coatless.

LEGISLATIVE EVENTS
FOR THE PAST WEEK

Governor in which he disagreed with
Commissioners Howe and Miller,
who favored a gross and net earn
ing of calculation for mine valuation,
and recommends an ad valorem
valuation based on physical exami-
nation by some mine expert OF
known reputation and no other me
thod
In such a manner would the min
es of the state be placed on the tax
rolls at a figure close to two hun
bred million dollars as against one
hundred and eight millions on the
plan proposed by the other commits
sioners. Protests from all over the
State to members of both houses
over the plan to let mine examina-
tions go over until some other ses-
sion, caused the leaders to right
about face, and it is probable now
the subject will be taken up in ear
nest next week.
The State Institutions Committee
of the House submitted another re-
port today giving in detail the mon
ey earned by the Old Dominion
Company at Globe on supplies pur-
chased for the State. The report
further disclaimed that their infor-
nation made public in a previous re-
port was stolen, but on the contrary
was given them by officers of the
State.
The Governor today signed and

IS BOUND
OVER ON TWO
CHARGES
Must Answer for Shoot
ing at One Man And
Hitting Another
(From Saturdays Daily.)

In the preliminary examination in
this city yesterday forenoon before
Judge Chas. H. McLane of James
Terry, the saloon keeper of Ash
Fork, on two charges of assault with
a deadly weapon filed by County At
torney O'Sullivan the accused was
bound over to the Superior Court in
the sum of $500 for each alleged Of
Tense.
The testimony showed that on the
night of Tuesday, March Is, between
500 and 900 o'clock, Terry made an
assault on Lee Drury, shooting three
times at him at close range with a
45-calibre pistal, one shot passing
within half an inch of Drury's head,
and one of the three shots striking
a bystander named John Kendrick
in the right hip and passing clean
through his body. Mr.. Kendrick is
believed to be seriously wounded
and is now in Mercy Hospital in this
city. He was unable to attend the
preliminary examination in conse-
quence.
The evidence also showed that
there were seven or eight people in
the restaurant at the time of the
shooting. Evidence also introduced
that when Terry was about to FIRE
the third shot at Drury, the latter
made a lunge at him and knocked
Terry's arm upward, just as the
latter had pulled the trigger, the bull
let passing into the ceiling. There
were several eye-witnesses who tes-
tilted to these facts.
Immediately after rendering his
decision, Judge McLane ordered
Terry committed to the county jail,
until his bond was forthcoming.
Later the accused deposited $1,000
in cash, and was given his liberty.

HUBBELL GOES AFTER
MINE OWNERS OF STATE

News Bureau of the Journal-Miner, Room
2as National Bank of Arizona Building
PHOENIX, March, lo.-Although
the legislature was called together
by Governor Hunt to among other
things enact a mine taxation bill it
now seems probable that none will
result from the present session. 1t
had been anticipated that the basis
for law would be proposed by the
State Tax Commission but that
board being unable to agree on the
best method to pursue Senate leaders
have about agreed to let the matter
go over for this year and permit
the Tax Commission to work out
some plan or any plan they wish
under the power given them in
Senate bill No 3 which was passed
by the Senate. There was object
ION to its passage by Senator Sims
of Cochise who did not like the
idea of three men, no matter who
they were, or how honest, to have
the entire say in the matter of
assessing for tax purposes one half
of the total property value of the
State
Senator Hubbell took a consider
able part in the debate and went
roughshod after the mine owners
declaring that it was a well known
act that the mines has never paid the
proportion of taxes as compared
with other property and he for one
was in favor of the Finlay scheme in
use in Michigan and he thought the
money appropriated by the bill for
the Tax Commission was sufficient
and that the commission was cap
able of dealing with the subject.
Il should say the money given
them to work with is sufficient
declared Senator Sims of Cochise
1T is unlimited for the bill says.
there is hereby appropriated enough
money to carry out the purposes
of this act, from any money in the
general fund, as shall be necessary.
If that is not all the money the
State has if the commission should
so decide to use it l don't under
stand the English language And
furthermore it is my opinion that
the plan of the tax commission was
TO delay their report and proposed
scheme for assessment of mines
that this bill (Senate 81 would be
all we could agree to. They would
then have the money and proceed
TO put into effect in Arizona the
Finlay scheme borrowed from Mich
igan. To such a plan l object"
Senators Lovin and Brown sup
ported Sims but the balance of the
Senate voted against him and as
said above apparently there will be
no mine tax law at this session.

A Wonderful Gun.

Since the Introduction of gunpowder
as a propellant and the general use of
firearms in warfare and hunting there
has been more or less insistent de-
mand for mechanisms that would give
the soldier or hunter a number of shots
at his command without reoading and
enable them to be rapidly discharged
The first patent for firearm of this
description seems to have been issued
by the British patent Office in 17lS to
James Puckle, citizen of London. for
gun mounted upon tripod, having u
single barrel and a revolving cylinder.
Strangely enough, one of the claims set
forth in this patent appears almost YER
batim 1875 years later in patent taken
out by Rollin White. an American in
ventor of a revolving pistol. Another
curious claim Of the patent was: THE
mechanism permits the use of square
bullets against the Turk and round bull
lets against Christians. Moreover, so
great is the rapidity of fire that ships
armed with the gun cannot be boarded
by any attacking force."-S. ]. Fort in
