The curiosity of visitors to West
minster Al)by is often excited by a
certain tomb, which, as the tablet above
it records, contains the body of Thomas
Thynne, of Longleat, who was barbar
ously murdered on the 12th of Feb
ruary, 1682.
Thomas Thynne "Tom of ten
thousand," as he was nicknamed in
reference to what, in that time, was
considered an immense income, was at
the time of his death about thirty-four
years old. m spite of his own wealth
he seems to have desired to make an
advantageous marriage and, through
the aid of a "marriage broker," he sued
for the hand of a well-known heiress.
Another suitor for the girl, or rather
for the estates she would inherit, was
a soldier of fortune. Count Carl John
Konigsmarck. This dashing young man
was regarded not unkindly by the girl,
who at the unusual age of sixteen was
thrice married and thrice widowed, but
Lady Northumberland peremtorily re
jected his pretensions and arranged
and carried through the match with
Thynne. despite the fact that he was
distasteful to her granddaughter.
Attached to Konigsmarck's person
was a certain Captain Vratz, a bold,
daring and absolutely unscrupulous
soldier of fortune, who had accompan-
ied him in the wars and obeyed him
with dogu'ke fidelity. This swashbuck-
1 ler was all too willing to take the
Count's quarrel with Thynne on his
shoulders, and later explained the lat
ter by saying that after sending Thyn
ne a challenge by post from Holland,
and failing to get satisfaction that way,
he determined to make a "rencounter"
of it in the street.
It must be remembered that in those
times a thoroughfare as near the Court
as Pall Mall was filthy in appearance
as well us dark and dangerous. In the
afternoon of February 12 Thynne wen",
to call upon Lady Northumberland, tht
grandmother and guardian of his wife.
Word that he had gone to pay the
visit was brought at once to Vratz.

Unusual stories as well as evil
thoughts often come home to roost.
Mixed metaphor No. 1. Being struck
with the humor of the addresses on
certain letters received at the Phoe
nix postoffice, and being aided and
abetted by Postmaster MeClintoek,
the R. R. R. has had several little
stories on the Jlexicanese lexicon, a
work that is being compiled by the
colonel for use in connection with
untranslatable writings. A copy of
the latest Mexican,ese story appear
ed recently in a state paper, having
been generalized to mean border
postoffices instead of Phoenix ones.
The story had evidently traveled con
siderably since it left in the mail
bags that carry Republican's to their
many readers.
There is more Mexicftnese in the
budget. These are McClintock's
latest additions to his dictionary.

Flyesta Flagstaff.
Xow, Flagstaff is called different
sometimes by Mexican letter writers.
Some of them actually translate the
word into its Spanish equivalents
and render it: I tf
Palo Parado.
The reader who is familiar with
Spanish, or even with the Mexican
or Spanish way of pronouncing Eng
lish can easily understand why a
Mexican writer could get it "Flyesta."

Clintock's future book on the way

some score of words, each referring
in a vague way to Arizona towns.
them, Vratz, Stern and Boraskl. set off
to the foot of St. Alban's Street, where
they met the coach of Thynne return
ing, a footman with a lighted flambeau
preceding it to show the way. What
followed seems to have been but the
work of a minute. Vratz held up to
the driver, and a pistol pointed at him;
then Boraski pushed his musketoon in
at the carriage window and discharged
its contents full into Thynne's breast,
and the three scoundrels decamped at
once, clattering away up the Hay
market. Warrants were issued for the arrest
of the assassins and Vratz was cap
tured in a Swedish doctor's house in
Leicester Fields. Boraski and Stern
were also arrested. Officers from Lon
don arrested the Count just as he was
landing from his boat at Gravesend.
After his arrest he lost his self-possession
and blurted out: '"Tis a stain
upon my blood, but one good action in
the wars or a logging upon a counters
carp will wash away all that."
Sir Francis Pemberton, Chief Justice
of the King's Bench, presided at the
trial of the four prisoners, which began
at nine in the morning. The national
ity of the prisoners made a jury "de
medietate lingua" (half English and
half foreign). Two of them were
Swedes, one a German and the fourth
a Pole. Even the interpreters could
not understand all the languages, and
the judges would not pause for every
answer to he translated.
Konigsmarck, being charged as an
accessory, asked to have his trial post
poned until the principals should have
been convicted. Pemberton refused
this on the ground that he had no pow
er to separate the trials, though he had
discretion. The real reason was to
shield the Count, though the Count was
not aware of it at the time.
The case against the three principals
was proved without any difficulty. In
fact, they acknowledged the crime, but
the trial against the Count failed, much
to the popular displeasure, and the
shame of this bad acquittal rests on
Pemberton who in summoning up skill
fully smoothed over the most damning
points of the case and put in here and
there a plausible explanation.
Ultimately, at about six o'clock, the
jury retired, and after half an hour's
absence returned with a verdict of
"guilty" against the three wretched
tools of the Count and "not guilty"
against the chief conspirator himself.
"God Bless the King and the honor
able Bench!" exclaimed the shameless
and brazen Count.
The judges did not condescend to re
main to pronounce the sentence of
death against the convicted prisoners,
a penance which they underwent at
the precise spot where the dastardly
crime was committed on the tenth of
March. Csrl John continued his ad

BUSIEST DAY IN THE
LAND OFFICE ANNALS
Record Month Is March, During
Which Much Business Is Tran
sacted By Uncle Sam
March has been a record smashing
month at the United States land of
fice. So much business has been
transacted over the counter of the
institution. Register Weedin declares
that a mark has been set. But April
may exceed it, at least all the indi
cations are for a continuance of the
strong run on land.
The edict went forth yesterday that
applicants for land must henceforth
fill out their own blanks that clerks
will not after today accept blanks
that have not been fully made out
before being handed in.
Thirty-two patents were received
yesterday, on desert entry and min
ing claims.
It wa perhaps tho biggest day's
work la the history of the office.

LUMBER YARD
This advertisement is real, genuine news and should be on the front
pages of all the newspapers of Phoenix and surrounding towns with
out cost to me.
You all know that lumber has betn reduced from three to ten dol
lars a thousand feet the past few months and most of you know
who did it. Considering the capital invested, I am sure I am doing
more business than any lumber firm :n Phoenix. And a good way to
continue to keep the price down is to buy more lumber from my
yard, for as my business increases I can make a little closer prices
and cause the bigger fellows to figure closer, too. Six months ago
there was no competition. When you asked for the price of lumber
you were told that dimension lumber was $35.00 a thousand, and fin
ish JT5.00; shingles $4.50 and further than that, you were told to fig
ure your bwn bills.
We do not figure bills; they all figure for you now, don't they?
Write for personal letters, drive to your place and coax you to let
them figure even unto annoyance. Who brought about the change?
Now, to get the lumber out of one shed which I have to move and
enlarge, I am going to sell 75,000 feet of 1x12, 2x4, 2x6, at $15.00 per
thousand, and 10,000 feet V2x3 battens and inch ceiling at $20.00,
4,000 feet of resaw at $10.00.
Uetter get in on this at once.
