On November 6 a band of six Navajos who were hunting on Canyon Padre, be- low Anderson Rim In this county, held up William Montgomery, & cowboy in the employ of William Roden, & cattleman. They accused him of stealing horses and threatened to kill him. He came to Flag- staff and obtained a warrant and with Deputy Hogan left on Thursday to make arrests. At Roden’s camp they were joined by William Roden and Walter Du ham, who went along to show the deputy where the Navajos were camped. Arriv- ing at the camp the party dismounted | and anticipating no trouble, Hogan at- | tempted to execute the warrant and en- tered a brush corral where four Navajos were, when the Indlans made resistance and a shot was fired at Hogan, striking him in the back, he at the time being in a tussle with a Navajo who was try- ing to shoot him. Hogan drew his pistol and kiiled his antagonist. The fight became general and ended when the ammunition of the white men was exhausted. The reasuit is that five Navajos are dead and one wounded.

STELZER. e e There Is No Fire Department in the City, but the Citizens Organ- ized Hastily and Fought the Flames. . Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CRESCENT CITY, Nov. 12.—The most disastrous fire which has occurred at Crescent City-for many years originated last night in the concrete State building on the corner of Second and I streets. The property belongs to Mrs. Elizabeth Stel- zer. How the fire originated is yet a question of mere conjecture, but as no reasonable ground can be assigned for ac- cidental theory it is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The fire rapidly spread to other build- ings, and for a time it seemed as if the whole city were doomed.. But by the fa- voring changes of the wind perhaps more than any other reason the devouring ele- ment was stopped, after having swept about ane-fourth of the block in the busi- ness center of the town, Including the store and residence of Mrs. Stelzer, the drug store of Mrs. Z. A, Chaceneau, t| variety store of H. 8. Hughes and the Jewelry store of Eausino. The total When discovered the fire had made such rapld progress that it was impossible to remove some $2000 worth of stock in the stores. Attention was at once directed to the saving of goods and furniture from the endangered building, causin the streets ana sidewalks to be blockaded with all manner of wares. The electric lights were extinguished by reason of the danger from falling wires, but the town was never before so brilliantly lighted. Without any organized fire department it was virtually a hand to hand combat with the flames, in_which every citizen willingly joined, and by dint of faithful work and good luck the flames were kept from crossing the street. The building in which the fire started was insured for $6000 in the London and Lancashire Insurance Company. The in- surance all told on the other buildings amounts to $1500. CAPTAIN BAISLEY MURDERED AT SEA | loss is at least $10,000. Being Stabbed, He Falls Overboard, and the Criminal Sails Away With the Schooner. ST. JOHNS, N. B., Nov. 12.—A murder a on the schooner J. B. Van Dusen of v York was made known to-day by the Teceipt of a message from the vessel's mate to the owners' agent in this city. It stated that Captain Balsley of this city had been stabbed by a sallor named Max- 1ad afterward fallen overboard and n the ship's boat which had put off him As for the sschooner, it d_in the darkness under con- ditions ich made it seem probable that the murderer and the steward, the only men left on board, had gotten the schoon- er under way | headed in toward the N Scotia coas The schooner left this port lumber laden for New York late yesterday afternoon. The tragedy was evidently enacted in the bay of Funday within ‘a few hours and. Maxwell fc everal voyages salled with Captain Balisley as his mate. The -schooner: was finally located at Beaver Harbor to-day, where it had been landed under charge of the cook, Frank Snowden said Captain Balsley flor Maxwell had a flght about dark last night, during which the captain had been knocked overboard. The mate and another sailor immediately took the boat and rowed away in search of Cap- tain Baisl Their boat, the cook sald, disappe: and he took the wheel of the schooner. Later it was learned that the Van Dusen, with the mate and sailor, had arrived at Point Lepreaux with the body of Captain Baisley.

GUAYMAS, Mexico, Noy. 12.—With the telegraphic communica- tlon between General Torres’ head- quarters at Torin and Guaymas comes a dispatch conveying news of a two days’ fight between Mexican troops and the Yaquis. The Indians attacked the gar- rison in Fort Angestura, near Potam, and were repulsed. Later reinforce- ments were fent from Torin and Potam. The troops attacked the town of Vicam and routed the Indians, with consmder- able loss to the latter. Thursday the troops again engaged thes Indians at Locobampox and scattered the Yaquis, the losses being heavy. The casualties of the eMxicans are given as four killed and twelve wounded. - NOT A ROBBER. Identity of the Man Killed by Chi- cago Police Operator. CHICAGO, Nov.+*12—The body of the supposed robber who was shot dead last night by Claude B. Giles, a police opera~ tor, was identified to-day as Frank Doyle, a brother of John Doyle of the firm of John Doyle & Co., wealthy contractors. The deceased’s mother is also said to be well-to-do, and the hold-up theory is scouted by Doyle's friends, who declare his mother kept him well supplied with funds and that he had no occasion to re- sort to robbery to secure money. Giles is practically under arrest, awaiting an investigation. MANUFACTURERS WILL [GHT TRADES UNIONS Four Hundred Sheet-Metal Work- - ers Locked Out in Chicago as the Initial Step. CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—To break up the present trades unions, to stamp out completely the arbitrary power of walking delegates, is the plan of cam- paign of Chicago contractors and architects. , en up and a new co-operative association of employers and workingmen has been formed will the contest cease, it Is asserted. The first active step in the campajgn to dedtroy the existing unions was taken when fourteen manufacturers of sheet metal locked out from their fac- tories over 400 employes. This action, it is expected, will be followed by other manufacturers of the same commodity, it being avowed openly that the man- ufacturers wish to break up the union. SLOW RECOUNT e Returns Thus Far Favor Taylor. — Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 12—The sec- ond week of uncertainty regarding the | result of the balloting for Governor of Kentucky begins with little prospect of immediate relief. The official count has been in progress two days and official re- turns from a large majority of the 119 counties have narrowed the contest down to & close finish. Each side claims the election of fts ticket, but the estimated luralities of either does not exceed 3000. While the returns so far recelved favor Taylor, the result of the count may hinge on the decision given by the County Elec- tion Commissioners in several places where contests have been begun on the ground of alleged irregularities. One of these contests, that In Nelson County, has been decided adversely to the Repyblicans. It involves 1188 votes— nearly as many as either side claims as its plurality. The Democrats will contest the votes of some of the mountain counties return large Republican pluralities. most important county involved is Knox, which gave Taylor 1398 plurality. There are also contests in three precincts in Louisville, which went Republican, In any event it is difficult to see how a bitter contest before the Legislature and the courts can be avoided. All the con- tests now being considered by the county election officers will have to be argued before the State Board of Commissioners, which must meet at Frankfort within a month. Both sides are preparing for this with_all the legal talent at their com- mand. Meanwhile, everything hangs on the official count, which will consume a large portion of the week. In Jefferson County (Louisville) the work is especially slow. Only one ward has been completed in the two days' work, i The Commercial to-morrow will print 4 statement from Chairman Long of the Republican _State campaign committee claiming a plurality of 3111 for vlor. These figures are based on the official re- turns of 110 county election boards, upon returns signed by the precinct election of- ficers in eight counties®more counties In which the county boards have not fur- nished tabulation and upon returns in one county.in which the election officers re- fuse to.certify to the returns. The 110 ecounties giving official returns show pluralities of 27,121 for Taylor and 29,805 for Goebel, a net plurality of 2184 for Goebel. In the eight counties not yet can- vassed pluralities are shown amounting to 6424 for Taylor and 1833 for Goebel. The committee claims that these returns have been certified to by the precinct election officers and need only to be tabulated. In the remaining county, Lewis, there Is a plurality of 704 for Taylor, but the elec- tlon officers boldly refuse to obey the law by certifying to thelr returns. The Courier-Journal will print a state- ment from Mr. Goebel at Frankfort de- claring there is no doubt of his election, but gives no figures, the announcement being_made that no returns have.been re- ceived since last night, when Goebel's plurality was flgured at 1i BATTLES WITH AN INSANE HUSBAND Half-Starved Woman Fights Heroic- ally With a Madman for Seven Hours.
