Adams, Deputy County Surveyor of San Bernardino County and a grandson of John Brown, the abolitionist of na- tional fame. Adams met with a horrible death, wandering away from the survey- ing camp while temporarily deranged and perishing of starvation. ““We were out on the desert prospecting for gold,” said Fay. “An Indiagn whom we had employed to show us where to find water on the desert caught his foot and fell on his back. The horse started to run, dragging the Indian by one foot. As the grouna was covered by jagged rocks, the Indian would have been Kuled had not Adams run up and seized the the horse’'s hoof struck him, but he gripped the bit until Mr. Lamere ai | Succeeded in releasing the Indian.

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 17.—Word was received here to-day from Tonto Basin that a Mexican sheepherder named Gon- zales had on Thursday shot and killed Rancher Packard. The murderer fled, and at last accounts the officers had found no_ trace of him. Packard approached the shepherd's camp, where several Mexicards are em- ployed, and ordered them to move on. Gonzales, without a word, shot Packard dead. The rancher's body was found later by a cattleman named Charles Edwards. The sheep be‘ng herded by the Mexicans belong to R. L. Longman of Mesa City. This murder may reopen warfare on the ranges. For a quarter of a century there has l<en enmity between the cat- tiemen of tnat section and the sheepmen of the northern part of the Territory, who, the fosmer allege infriage npon trer range, I'ifteen gearu ago this bitterness culminated in the Tonto Basin war, In which mnn¥| were killed. Since then everything has been peaceable, except that the cattlemen object to the' sheep- men driving their flocks across the Tonto country to this valley in the winter and back in the spring. There has always been fear of an outbreak, and it may now be precipitated, though it is not charged that in Thursday’'s affair the Mexican acted on other than his own murderous impulse.

It is charged that favored convicts are in practical control of the institution, and that discipline is a thing of ‘the past. Officials of the prison are in constant fear of convicts who have the ear of War- den Wilkinson. They allege that if the prison attaches dare to assert their au- thorlty they are brought before the War- den and censured. The attaches go even further, and make the plain accusation that several efficlent employes have been discharged because they reported favored convicts for inffactions of prison rules. It is sald that the rank and fiile of con- victs do not recelve enough food to keep body and soul together, while the favored few fare better than the employes. sum up, the subordinates at the prison declare_that the institution is managed not by Warden Wilkinson, but by & hand- ful of criminals, who, while supposedly undergoing punishment for infractions of the laws, are in reality living in luxury at the State’s expense, with prison at- taches for their servan The notorious Harry 'mond, commit- ted to prison three times, and now serv- lng a sentence of twenty-flve years; con- sidered by former Warden Aull to have been one of the most desperate criminals in the prison; a prisoner whom Warden Aull would not allow outside the prison walls, is_the “"“’“.’fl, and adviser of ‘Warden Wilkinson. e Warden and anmwnd ride about the prison premise: and any suggestions by Raymond ar carried out to the letter; In fact, Ray- mond is virtually warden of the prison.

SANTA ROSA, May 17.—Percy oge- boom, a youth of 18 years, yésterday'emu- lated the man in the fable who cut from a tree the limb on which he was seated. The youth had been sent into a neighbor- ing yard to remove some branches tree. Seated on a large bough, he began to cut it off close to the trunk. The limb finally became too weak ta further sustain his weight and he dropped a distance of sixteen feet to the earth.
