It will bo remembered that Tones, who discovered his wife in a compromising position with Eckles, was thrown from tho house by tho latter, who was a roomer at tho Jones house. In court yesterday Mrs. Jones stated that her conduct had been perfectly proper, and that her husband's action was prompted by unwarranted jeal ousy. Tho absence of Jones just at this particular timo leads the officers to be lieve that there is a schemo on foot to trap Eckles and probably murder him. It was asserted yesterday that Jones, who'left on tho morning train for tho south, had abandoned tho train at tho first stop out of Globe, and that it was his intention to wnlk back to tho city after nightfall ami undertake to sur prise his wife and her alleged lover. In discussing tho incident in tho pres ence of officers on Wednesday, Jones stated that ho would havo killed Eckles when ho discovered him in his wife's room onTuesdny night if he had been tho possessor of a weapon.

Young Buck Expressed Himself as Delighted With His Bloody Work Word reached tho city last evening that an Apache buck, named Zoo Aimee, located near tho boundary between Gila and Navajo coun ties, had killed his mother-in-law by chopping her head off with an axe and then frightfully mutilating the body. Tho party who brought the story to tho city stated that tho tragedy took place on Tuesday night, following a quarrel in which n number of bucks and squaws wore engaged. Almeo's mother-in-law, whose name could not bo learn ed, had a heated discussion with her son-in-law. It was thought their differences had been settled, when the woman left and went to her bed. About midnight another Indian woman visited tho Bhack and found Almeo with an axe in his hand, standing beside tho body of the old woman. He mado no effort to hide tho crimo or shift tho responsibility, but on the contrary expressed delight over the butchery and stated that his mother-in-law would no longer worry him. Ho throw tho axe down beside tho lifeless, bleeding corpse of tho old squaw and, mounting a horse, rode away. The tragedy was reported to tho Navajo county officers at Holbrook, and it is said that tho mur derer was arrested lato Wednesday night and taken to tho Navajo county jail, whore ho is now confined. It is claimed that tho murder was committed in Gila county, and the sheriff's department hero will take the matter up with the Hol brook authorities. If the murder, it is found, was committed in this county, Almco will be brought to Globe and prosecuted for his bloody deed. Tho Indians, so tho story goes, had secured a bottle of whisky the day beforo tho tragedy, aud tint all the bucks were intoxicated. Almcc, tho murderer, attempted to beat his wifo and the mother-in-lnw interfered. This started the bad feeling, which resulted in tho old squaw 'b death. C 'ff "if 'iC w ' ."- Ofc J- ..

Man Whom President Roose velt Pardoned Growing Tired of Notoriety KANSAS CITY, Mo., October 3. John Wesley January, whom the presi dent pardoned last July from tho fed eral penitentiary at Leavenworth, and who returned to Kansas City to open a restaurant, hns asked the circuit court to change his namo to Charles Wesley Anderson. His petition contains little of tho history of the circumstances that caused .O.OOO people to petition the president for his pardon. Jnnunry was convicted in Oklahoma in 1891 for robbing a store, and was sent to the federal penitentiary, from Avhich ho escaped. Then ho married and a child was born. For nine years he lived an upright life. Last April a prisoner recognized January, informed the police, nnd January was sent back to prison. Tho petition for tho chango of namo gives this reason, "because of unfor tunate circumstances occurring in the period commencing in tho year 1801 and ending 189S."

Medical men havo been long agreed that much illness is at tributable to tho neelicent manner in which this much sought after articlo is handled and used for cooling refresh ments, tho microbes of typhoid fever being found among tho bacilli found in unclean ice. The new regulation provides that all manufactured ico intended for human consumption must bo made from drink ing water and not, as has been the case hitherto, from river water.

Many entries of exhibits havo been made in the various departments at this early date and from the efforts put forth by tho superintend ents of the different departments, the impression would bo gained that each of them is desirous that his department will bo the one that is most complete and attractive. All important lines of industrial pur suits in the territory will be on exhibi tion; also agriculture, horticulture, live stock of all kinds and classes, consist ing of horsesj mules, cattle, sheep, goats and swine. The poultry and pigeon department is a show of itself, containing all vari eties of fowls from 'the largest turkeys to the smallest bantams. The mineral department contains an excellent exhibit, one that is instructive for thohe who are interested in mining. A drilling contest will be held that is open to all, and as an inducement for those to enter who are among the best, $1,000 will bo divided among tho con testants, $650 in the double-handed, GO per cent to the first and 40 per cent to tho second, and $350 in the single handed, 00 per cent to the first and 10 por cent to the second. Harness races will be an interesting feature, as $17,200 has been offered in stakes and purses in these events, and as -a result, up to the prcesnt time 132 entries have been made, among them being some of the foremost trotting and pacing horses in the world and coming from all parts of the United States. Budd Doblc has two horses entered and will drive his own horses. Mention ing Budd Doblc, the man who trained, drove and created world-wide reputation for Dexter, Goldsmith Maid, Maud S and Nancy Hanks, is sounding the key note of harness racing. Many men havo been and arc prominent in that line, but everything has been said when it is stated that he is the "daddy" of them all. No one has done more to aid and encourage the breeding of good horses. WANTS NATIONAL Secretary Wilson Will Ask Next Congress for Appropriation for that Purpose WASHINGTON, D. C, October 3. Investigations into the dairies and dairy products of Washington having convinced Secretary of Agriculture Wilson of the necessity for a national inspection of dairy products under in terstate commerce powers, he will ask congress for an appropriation and tho necessary authority for this purpose. The method which is being considered for dealing with the question is similar to that employed in dealing with dis eased meats. The only hope of remedy ing the growing danger caused by im pure milk and dairy products, he be lieves, is by dealing with it through governmental inspection service. If congress gives Secretary Wilson power to go ahead with this work, he will have veterinarians examine dairy cattle in a largo number of places, as certaining how they are kept, their sur roundings, whether they drink germ laden water, and whether they have tu berculosis or other diseases. Inspectors will also examine conditions in cream eries, dairies, on farms, in stores whero dairy products are sold; to ascertain whether employees are free from dis eases, and like information. Secretary Wilson believes ho will bo able to conduct this investigation with a very small appropriation, as he can uso members of his present forco to do tho inspecting. Tho department of agriculture has al ready done something by way of in quiry into the sanitary condition of milk and cream supplies. This was partly by its investigation of tho milk supply at Washington. In connection with meat inspection, the department has gained considerable insight into tho conditions that prevail in dairies and creameries. The pure food law gives the govern ment authority over food products in general, and it may be that this law can bo extended to cover dairy products. Not only milk and cream, but butter and cheese may carry tho germs of tuberculosis, typhoid fever, scarlet ge ver, diphtheria, and other communicablo diseases. Secretary Wilson was awakened to the necessity of taking somo action con corning tho salo of germ-infected milk, butter and cheese by typhoid fever among tho clerks in the department of agriculture. Tho bureau of animal in dustry made a private inspection of dairy farms in tho vicinity of Washing ton. Tho dairy farmers were promispd that tho reports of thei nspection would not bo mado public.
