EAGLE RINGING
 BELL OVER STATE
(From Wednesdays paily.l

(from WedneSdays Oally.D
 Some time since a rancher who lives in the Skull valley section told the writer that an eagle had been discovered in that community which seemed to have a bell-ringing voice. He said that a number of times he had seen the national bird soaring high in the heavens in Skull valley, and that the tinkle of a bell could always be heard when it was seen. He said that numbers of others had also noticed the phenomenon, and that it was the subject of great curiosity to all who had noted it. This statement was made some three months ago when the writer was on the train between Phoenix and Prescott. and at the time little at tention was paid to it. But the other day a reminder of the incident oc- cured when the following was mo- ticed in the Douglas. Arizona, Dis patch:

tention was paid to it. But the other day a reminder of the incident oc- cured when the following was no ticed in the Douglas. Arizona, Dis patch:
 Phenomenon Explained.
 An eagle which announces its ap- proach by ringing bell is a cur iosity. yet there is one bird of this breed, now flying over the Sulphur Springs valley and neighboring ter ritory, that has this habit. The story is vouched for by J. T. Hood, of Hood & Bledsoe, Ford agents in this city
 I was at Gabe Choate's ranch in the mountains about 40 miles from Douglas a week or two ago, when l heard a peculiar tinkhng noise and commenced to investigate. l dis covered that it was made by an eagle which was flying overhead, ap- parently with something in its claws. I thought this very peculiar and made inquiries among the ranchers in the vicinity.
 T learned that seven years ago, Mir. Choate had set a steel trap for an animal which had been raid ing his chickens and in it caught the eagle. Instead of killing the bird, he turned it loose, first strapping a small bell around its neck. The bird flew away and was not seen in that vicinity for four years. Three years ago it again appeared, remained for a few weeks in that vicinity and left. The time of its arrival and depar- ture was definitely fixed by the ringing of the bell.
 A few weeks ago it again made its appearance. The bird is large one and is probably old"
 It seems probable, and indeed is possible, that the eagle referred to in the Douglas paper is none other than the one which was "belled" by the Sulphur Springs valley ranch man, and that the bird has been mi grating backward and forward be- tween northern and southern Ari- zona Either this, or some one else has placed a bell on another eagle in the northern part of the state.

Mike Casperian, an Armenian, will

naturalized foreigner with firearms
in his possession but when the de-
fendant was brought before Justice Of
the Peace Joe II. Parkes, he could
not understand anything said to him
and certainly the officers could not
understand him. The town was
searched for an Interpreter but no one
with any knowledge of the Armenian
language could be found and the Off
GERS were finally forced to dismiss the
case. Bastite Sovian, a Greek, was
not so fortunate. however. knowledge
of the charge against him could be
conveyed and he could let the court
know that he was guilty. According

him. Joe Minzolle, the third man ar
rested at Huron on the charge, was
discharged, the officers having dis
covered him to be the wrong man.

Colonel Gantenbein passed this exam
ination and ranks as colonel OF a

he listed Captain Murphy as one of
his captains and Is thought to have
officers selected for an entire regi-
ment However, Captain Murphy has
received no information of any sort
from Col. Gantenbein and scarcely
expects a call. The support by con-
gress of the presidents policy SEEM
ingly means there will be no general
war with Mexico but merely war
fare against Huerta and his contin-
gent. The regular army and the navy
should be entirely capable of handling
such warfare and If not the national
guard forces would be called upon be-
fore any reserves would be asked for.
Captain Murphy takes this view of the
situation and therefore is not looking
forward to any service unless as stat
ed above. the war should be extended
so as to include Mexicans as a whole.

Lucille had feared and dreaded that first
meeting. She positive the solitary figure

spy But the formality had been silent, so
ominous she had thrust it from her because of
the terror It's recollection never failed to induce
within her heart The band of evil-doers
tainly could make mistake regarding her
identity after that close scrutiny.
The room assigned her was to all outward

means of escape lay by the door and, to get out
