PHOENIX SALOON HOLD UP
A Lone Robber Lines Up the Men and
TaKes the BanK Roll.
The lone highwayman has given over
his stunts on the country roads and
gone into business in town. Yesterday
morning a few minutes before 4 o'clock
he held up Hooker & Hayes' saloon
and gambling house on Fast Washing
tor street, filled his pockets with the
bank roll, which amounted to about
$265, refused a drink o:i the house, left
by way of the back door, through
which he had entered, mounted a bi
cycle in the alley find rode eastwardly
through the alley as far at least as
Third street, then faded into the gloom,
which, according to the old saying, is
d;irke;t just before day.
There were seven men in the house
at the time. Roe Wideman was in
charge of the roulette wheel. Hi Hcok
er. a man nimed He-ward, another
named Charlie Holingshead and a
fourth man were playing cards, there
being a little poker game on. The
barkeeper, Bert Royce, was watching
the game, and another man was fitting
in a oh'Jr asltaf- A Chinaman and a
white man but a few minutes before
had left the roulette table, and things
were moving rather slowly, for it was
in fact the "graveyard shift."
Suddenly the back door opened and
a man stepped inside with drawn re
volver, immediately ordering everybody
to line up alorg the bar. Little atten
tion was paid to him at first, as it wis
taken for somebody's idle remark. A
second command resulted in sorre of
the men turnin-r their faces in his di
rection. They saw the gun, but the
man who held it had no mrjsk, ar-d it.
was immediately assumed that it was
a joke, and one of the men asked the
stranger if his gun wns loaded, adding
that if it was he had better turn it in
another direction. He spoke agdin,
saying that he meant business, where
upon someone said. ''Boys this is
holdup." Everybody knew that in the
event of a holdup the proper thing is
to obey orders, and they began their
execution at once, all elevating their
hands and taking their positions dong

the bar with their backs toward it and
their faces toward the outlaw. "Turn
vour bellies to the bar," was the next
order, and1 it was instantly obeyed, ex
cept by Charlie Hollingshead, who was
standing1 near tha1 end of the bar and
who had a private "roll" in his pocket
he was getting nervous about. lie was
formerly a line rider and knows a few
revolver tricks himself, but just at
that time he didn't have lls tool box
with him. So, with the dual purpose
of caching his roll and scouting for a
gun, he dropped behind the bar and
crawled along on all four. But the
search for a gun was fruitless. There
were three of them there, but they
were all in drawers, and hedld not
know where to look for them. Beside,
one of them at least was in a drawer
on the back bar so high up he
could not have secured it without ex
posing himself. Whether he would have
us?ed it or not he does not pretend to
aaiy, but he probably would, for there
were one or two occasions when the
robber got in. range at one side or the
other of the '"line-up." And Hollings
head certainly had the inclination.
After the men were all properly
jdaeed the-robber advanced to the rou
lette wheel, keeping them pvered with
one hand while with the other he filled
his coat pockets with silver. He also
took along a stack of blue chips which
he -may bring back 'later and cash in.
After making a cleanup there he went
to the poker table and took everything
in sight that looked like money, then
retreated toward the door. Just before
he departed he announced that he had
accomplices in both the front anl rear
of the building and that anyone leav
ing within ten minutes would do' so at
his peril. That, however, was undoubt
edly a bluff. As he prepared to go one
of the men in the line asked him if ha
wouldn't come and have a drink with
them, but he declined with thankc. Fay
ing he would drink with them later.
He bajeked through the door, the last
good view secured of him. Royce im
mediately ran out the front door, fol
lowed by others, and then eiist to the
corner of Second street, just in time to
see the robber cross that street on a
wheel and continue his flight down the
alley in the same direction.
Mr. Hooker and another man after
arming themselves follow ed the robber
out the ba-k door, but he was out cf
sigrht, and Mr. Hooker fired a shot in
the air to alarm the police, who re
sponded promptly. A short chase was
made up the alley, but it was a fruit
less effort.
There was money in the cash register
and in the safe, which was unlocked,
but both were behind the bi,r and no
attempt was made to reach them.
The robber Is described' ?.s being a
young man, apparently not over 2S
years old, a little less than six feet
high, rather broad shoulders for one of
his weight, and weighing probably in
the neighborhood of 130 pounds. He
wore n mask end his face was ex
ceedingly wiiite, having the appearance
of a man addicted to th5 use of opium
or morphine, or possibly suffering' of
consumption. But whatever his physi
cal weaknesses he was active on his
feet and had a voice that commanded
attention. He wore a black hat with
raw edpre, nearly new, a suit of dark
though not black clothes, a white shirt
and a dark necktie. Mr. Hooker thinks
he saw him in the saloon the afternoon
before, and it is likely that he was then
pfenning :h? robbery.
There is an opinion held by rome of
the officers that the white face was
either a close fitting mask or an arti
ficial complexion designed to serve as
a mask. Some of the officers have a
certain, individual under suspicion, a
man who wa wen on the street Thurs
day with a woman, but further than
that there seems to be no clue, airvd
that car. hardly be caiied a clue. Tha
snerm s omce was notified as quickly
as possible, andboth the city and coun
ty officers were diligent yesterday, but
without results. Policemen Tipton and
Kaufman left on their wheel before 5
o'clock yesterday morning and search
ed ir.e country over between here and
Tempe. From that point Mr. Tipton
went south ?ome distance along the
railroad track and returned to Phoenix,
coming- down the river bed. Mr. Kauf
man came back along the road south
of the river and via the Wilson cross
ing. Neither of them found suspicious
characters or any trace of thajnan, and
the opinion is general that he did not
leave the city at all.

BONES OF A MAMMOTH
A Chance for Some Scientist to Tell
What He Knows.
Mr. C. F. Smallhouse has on exhibi
tion at the store of Pinney & Robinson
a number of bones of some animal that
in life must have been f the' propor
tions of a mastodon. T;'j bones belong
to a friend of his named A. R. Gibson,
who found them in a sandbed in the
Gila river bottoms a few miles west of
Phoenix. Mr. Gibson says he thinks
the rest of the bones of the mammoth
or at least some of them, can be found
by further digging, and he is willing to
do the digging if anyone will pay him
for it.
The bones are surely a genuine ar
ticle: They are not like the "petri
fied" bones and bodies of ancient gi
ants, the manufacture of which was
once r;uite ;m industry in this valley,
but are fairly well preserved and they
are light as any partially decayed
bones of that size would naturally
be.
At this writing 'they have not been
viewed by an anatomist, or a "skeleton
sharp," and it is not certain what part
of the animal the bones are from! It is
the opinion though of those who have
seen them, that they are the upper
bones of a fore leg leg and if this
opinion be correct, the size of Jhem

indicates that the animal was a i huge
one. Bones of that size might be
found in a large steer perhaps, but if
so it would be in a part of the animal
that did not so clearly resemble the
fore shoulder and leg, and if theso are
leg bone3, they are conclusively not
from a steer." No theory is offered as

I AMUSEMENTS
An event that should make history
among the local musicians is about to
take place in the annearance of Har
old Bauer the. gifted ycur.g pianist,
at the Dorris theater next Thursday
evening for one contert. for which oc
casion a delightful programme has
been arranged. We quote the Chicago
Daily Tribune as follows:
"More beautiful piano playing than
Mr. Hauer did yesterday would be diffi
cult to find, even in this day of great
pianistlc achievement. The term
beautiful is used advisedly,' for it is
the unfailing presence of beauty in the
pianist's wcrk which lends it its most
striking characteristic. That his play
ing is exceptional from th: viewpoint
of purely technical dexterity, that
complete mastery of every mechanical
resource of his instrument is unmis
takably revealed, and that rare musi
cal taste and intelligence are constant
ly in evidence are facts undeniable:
but it is the element of tonal beauty
constantly prominent in all the play
ers work that lends to his perform
arice a quality almost unique.
Not since Paderewski was last heard
has this same wonderful quality been
so conspicuous at any recital as it was
yesterday when Mr. Bauer was at the
piano. The instruction given by the
great Pole has certainly borne most
perfect fruit, for in this pupil the rare
charm inherent in the master's play
ing makes Itself again felt.
Ther- was not a momtnt during all
of Mr. Bauer's performance when
beauty of tone was not strongly in
evidence." i
The reserved seat sale starts to
morrow -at 10 a. m. at Goodman's.
Prices $1.50, $1.00, 75c and 50c.
, "EAST LYNNE."
The Blunkal' company give another
excellent performance last evening.
The bill was the b.".lony scene from
"Romeo and Juliet" and "Tha Plaiyer."
Ervin Blunkall at Romeo and Myrtle
Lewis as Juliet gave a pleasing rendi
tion"of the immortal bard's work. "The
Player," a modern version of "David
Garrick," was well performed by the
company, all thv humor possible being
gotten out of the lines. There will be a
special matinee this afternoon at which
East Lynne" will be the bill. Tonight
Captain Impudence,' the Mexitan war
drama, will be given as a farewell bill.

TYPICAL RANGE SPORTS.
Sunday will be the opening day of
the cowboy tournament which is to be
given by Jack Gibson and which will
last till Tuesday night. The great show
will be held at East Lake park and the
events will comprise all the spectacu
lar features of range life, available for
a small admission fee to any who en
jcys such sports. The programme will
embrace practically everything one can
see on the range and the best of ev
erything. There will be steer tyinjr
and and broncho riding by the kingj
of the rlata throwing profession, flag
picking by fearless riders and relay
races by those who practically live on
horseback. Good purses' will encour
age the best work and special rail

CAVE CREEK COUNTRY
The Sheep Shearing Industry Threat'
ened by Drouth.
Cave Creek, Ariz., Feb. 17. (Special
Correspondence of The Republican.)
Unless rain comes quite soon and in
sufficient quantities to renew the range
the sheep shearing will cease here after
this week. Moreover ,on account of
the unprecedented drouth of thi& sea
son the sheep men will have to start
back to their northern ranges, a
month or more in advance of the usual
time. Heretofore at this time there has
been plenty of feed to the eastward,

to the north u0 to the Creek; but now

the Verde and the Maztazal range

and out, so as to prevent absclute
starvation. Before the sheep get back
to the Mazatal range they are hungry,
and In nearly unmanageable condition.
An added hardship on the shep men
is that they cannot complete their
lambing in this southern, mild climate,
but must get where there ia fped and
also too great chance of losing lamps
by severe cold. Last night (here was
rain here in small quantities and fur
ther in the mountains enough to war
rant a delay of a week or more: but.
unless rainfall shall be very much
more copious than is now foreshadow
ed, the sheep will have to go a month
at least in advance of former sea
sons. Since December 1st, last, James D.
Houck, the merchant here.-'Tias had
more business responsibility on his
mind than any other business man in
the eourly, not excepting even the
mcst prompt rous in Phcenix. to. keep up
his own hand-shearing plant, and
have general conem for the machin
plant; to keep his store and his
grain ware houses filled with the var
ied asscrtment required :'or a metro
politan department score; to keep sev
eral wagons on ihe road each day
going In for or returning with sup
l l.es, and also a hotel feeding a hun
dred per day at least all this requires
ai. executive ability of th highest ord
er. He has had to do his work !n ill
health and while ornbat.n? a disposi
tion to pneumonia which is now under
control. The volume of his business
must be enormous, and considerably
larger this season than ever before.
Our mining entrpri2 are jt in
fa rly active operation. Major Gates
has had since the .iew year md yet
has, a considerable force at work on
the Sierra Alta and expects to have
orders to keep them at work some
weeks later. Col. Dravo seems to be
preparing to have considerable work
done on his rich claims by contract.
At the same time The Grand Traverse
and Arizona, under Mr. iYVlthey, con
tinue systematic .work on huge hih
grade dikes at the east foot of' the
Gold Hill or Continental range. Re
cently Mr. Withey doubled his consid
erable force of miners first-class mi
ners, not common labor roustabouts.
Except to note that work is in sys
tematic progress there, I need add
nothing more just now. .
The Ben Hur management has all
the men it can put in the 300-foot tun
nel which is to strike the great dike
several hundred feet from the surface;
and until this dike is reached, and to
some extent cross-cut, the owners will
not know surely how they are to work
it and until the tunnel and main shaft
arc connected they will have to work
under some disadvantage. In. mining
certain details must be given the time
required and hurry and worry are
alike useless. By midsummer all ob
stacles to big operations -will be re
moved. In a . late communication the
term "copper" pyrites was used in
stead of the proper one "iron" py
rites. A few days ago lr. Howard Sen,
showed me a gold button got In a sur
prising manner. His son Ed. Howard
has a rich vein on Gold Hill, specifhens
of which often reveal plenty of free
gold. One day recently he pulverized
about five pounds of rock not from a
pocket nor specially different frcm the
average except in the brilliancy of the
spots and wires. From five pounds of
this pulverized ore he panned" out an
amazing quantity of gold dust and
nuggets. Thfs .he melted down into a

The important Inference from .he
fact of the Pasteur institute in Paris
having brought, on lockjaw in ,' mice,
rabbits and guinea pigs by the action
of radium on the nerve centers is, of
course, the inference that radium can
be made to give persons lockjaw as
well.
To be sure radium 's an immensely
expensive article, but we are an im
mensely rich people.
It is too much to expect in the light
of the experiments of the Pasteur in

used instead of gunpowder in the cele
