Lott his Head.

Uoq-sh- a, the f, now lies inhis grave a headless piece of cjay. Hecheated the gallows by committingsuicide and in turn he has been cheat-ed out of his cabeza. After havingserved all the purpose in life that hissavage nature permitted he has contributed to the ghastly curiosities ot amorbid taste the head that plannedthe mischief he perpetrated. The onceactive brain is nqw a coagulated massof inert matter and the tongue thatcommanded implicit obedience issilent and still. The relic is but anemblem of mortality bf value neitherto its owner nor its possessor.

After the forms of law had beencomplied with, the body of the deadchieftain was consigned to the under-taker for interment and was con-veyed to the cemetery and temporarilycovered within a rough bpx to awaitthe arrival of its comrades from thegallows, Thursday night the cloudsmassed heavily overhead and the rain-drops forebode the coming storm. Itwas such a night as spooks holdhigh revelry and even strong menshun the proximity of the graveyardas the abpde of spirjts that brookhuman interruption'.

Just as the lights within the severalStores were being turned down pre-paratory to cjqsipg, a horse and buggycame dashing through thp streets,without driver or bridle. A runawaysurely, and possibly some one was suf-fering from being thrown out, up thestreet. A messenger of mercy startedout towards the cemetery but soon re-

turned full of mystery and absolutelyas tp what he had wit-

nessed.Morning came and the event of the

night so preyed upon the minds ofthose who had witnessed the strangeoccurrences that two or three took theback track and trailed the buggy tothe cemetery. They found the sapling to which a horse had been tiedand from which it had broken awayand returned to town, and at thenewly made grave of the Apache Indians they discovered evidences ofvandalism. Further investigationshowed the body of Gon-sh- a within itscoffin, minus jts h6ad.

A devious trail was followed back totown, but it was again lost amid thenumberless tracks along the muddystreets, and to this hour it is believedthat even Gon-sh- a has not missed thehead he sq mysteriously lost.

The Gallows Cheated of Three of Its Victims The others meet their Fate

Heroically. Incidents ofthe Occasion.

For the past several days busy menhave been engaged in thu jail yardconstructing and adjusting the gallowsupon which the live Apache Indiansconvicted of murder at thulast termof court were to be hanged. On Wednesday evening everything vas foundto be in perfect order and tests of thestrength and operation of the instrument of death proved good workman-ship and careful preparation.

The old arrangement of n drop plat-form was discarded, and the Brooklynplan was adopted, whereby the subjects stand upon the ground and atthe signal a rope is severed and theheavily weighted counterpoise in-

stantly draws up the condemned crim-inals with a quick movement tliat dis-locates the neck and produces almostinstant death. By its uso the slowstrangulation so often witnessed is impossible. When all was completed,ttte counterpoise was charged withseventeen hundred pounds of quicksilver in iron flasks, to offset theweight of seven hundred pounds ofaboriginal humanity, and a slack ofthirty inches cave the weight a suf--

fioent impetus to accomplish the desired result in the most expeditiousand humane manner.

But while the busy workmen pounded away and cracked their ghastlyjokes during the preparations, thecondemned Indians in tho adjacentcells were made fully aware of thenature of this unusual activity and ex-

hibited a keen interest in what wastranspiring without the lail.

On Wednesday the interpreters fromSan Carlos arrived and through themthe death warrants were rad to thedoomed Indians. Later on they werevisited by the Catholic priest FatherMonfort and several Sisturs of St.Joseph, and the serious question ofpreparation for their inevitable doomwas discussed. Two submitted to thebaptismal rites, but the old chief, GonSha, utterly refused the profferedministrations and preferred to die inthe Indian faith which transforms thebrave warrior into a solid rock, be-

cause of his firmness ; the squaw intoa bear because of her uneven temper,and the pappoose into a fish probablybecause it is only a little sucker. GonSha been spurned the well meaningminiutrations and his anrer at thesympathy expressed by the kind Sis-

ters was quite vicious.The doomed Indians retired that

night as usual, and they kept up theircustomary songs until they droppedapparently into a sleep. The guardsat in the corridor, reading; Harper'sMagazine to pass away the dullness ofthe waning hours, occasionally peer-ing through the grating of the cell tosee that all was right within its dimlylighted interior. The inmates wereapparenl.ly asleep, with their blanketsdrawn over their heads in. Indian fashion and quiet at last reigned throughout the gruesome edifice. Ine guardtook his lunch about half-po- st twelveo'clock, and peered into the cell several times without finding anythingamiss.

About two o'clock Thursday morning he was summoned to the gratingby one of the younger Indians, whoexcitedly told him that tb.e old Indian Gon Sha was dead. The guardat once gave the alarm and when assistance arrived the cell ws enteredand it was found that not only GonSha had cheated the gallows, but '.hat

and hadaccompanied him upon his journeyto the spirit vorld. The two formerwere the murderers of Diehl and thelatter of Jones, as hereinafter set forth

It was found that the Indians hadtorn strips from their" breech-clout- s

and pasted them around their necks;they then tied a secure knot by giving an extra twist, whereby, whenonce drawn tight t could npt beloosened, even if the victim felt so dis-posed. The ends of the string werethen taken by the lianas of thesuicidal aborigines and drawn tightlywith a sudden jerk, and strangulationfollowed. Neither of the Indiansmoved during this process of self destruction and to all appearance theycalmly slept beneath their blanketsuntil the plarm was given by theircomrades.

The evidence of Dr. A. S, Adler, before the coroner's jury, was that deathhad taken place between four and fivehours before he was called shortlyafter two o'clock, and therefore thefatal knots had been tied betweennine and ten o'clock on the precedingnight,

THE HANGfNJ.

The fatal Friday morning openeddark and gloomy, with lnavy rainclouds hovering low and a constantdrizzle falling. Notwithstanding theinclement weather about fifty personsassembled at the jail yard at seveno'clock, and just half an hour later thetwo Indians were swung off into eter-nity. Prayer was offered by Rev. I. T.Whittemore, and Rev. Father Monfortread the sacrament. Without the leastmanifestation of fearand Kah-dos-- la permitted the adjustment of the nooses and wero firmlysecured for their doom. They badegood bye to all who were present andcharged the interpreter to toll theirrelatives at San Carlos that they hadjoined tho Catholic Church and wouldgo to heaven.

Precisely at 7 :30 the rope was sever-ed with a hatchet and for a brief mo-ment while the heavy weight took upthe three foot of slack rope the inter-est of the spectators was intense. Sud-denly the two human forms shot upeight feet, their heads almost touch-ing the beam above, and then fellback a foot with the rebound. Therewas a slight quiver of the muscles andall was over. Both necks were in-

stantly broken by the first jerk of therope and consciousness was extinguish-ed instantaneously.

At just nine minutes after the dropfell, was pronounceddead, and five minutes later the pulseof Kah-dos-l- a ceased. The law wasvindicated and the same doom wasmeted out to the Indian murderers asthat accorded to the writes.

HISTOhY OF THE CRIMXS.

Gon-Sh- a, an Apache sub-chie- f,

and wereconvicted at the October term of theDistrict court of Pinal county for themurder of Diehl, a cattleman, at hisranch between San Carlos and theSaa Pedro river, on June 3d, 1887. Together with others they had attackedChief of Scouts Al. Sieber, and badlywounded him, and then started upona general raid of slaughter. Therewere fifteen in the party and uponleaving the reservation they providedthemselves with horses at the firstranches they came across. Arrivingat the ranch of Diehl and Seamanthey discovered the former within pis-tol range, and Gon Shay, as admittedin his testimony, made a good shotwith his pistol before Diehl realizedthat be was in danger. Gon Shay wasaccompanied by and

the remaining members of the band being secreted over alull. The finding of two carbine cartridges upon the spot from wfcich theshooting was done was the groundsfor their conviction, as they carriedcarbines using such cartridgiis. Thesetwo Indians denied having shot Diehl

Intelligent and Capable Uentle-man- .

Editor Enterprise : To complywith your request to give you the re-

sult of my recent investigation in thisgreat and beautiful mountain rimmedParadise valley or open plain whic hextends more than one hundred milesin length by fifty miles in breadth,would require a volume to contain it.This great valley or open plain iscrossed from east to west by the Saltriver on the northerly part ; in the cen-

ter by the Gila river, and in the south-erly part by the sunken Santa Cruzriver. The divides between theserivers in their passage through thegreat plain being so slight the eye doesnot detect them.

As the valley of the Salt river on thenorth of this plain is so fortunate asto embrace the beautiful city of Phe-nix, now twenty years ' of age, theCapitol City of the Territory and ofMaricopa county, with a population ofabout 8,000 souls and two daily news-

papers, with all of the advertising en-ergy and push of any of the olderfrontier cities, there is little to be 8 aidabout their valley in addition to whatthey have published and made knownthroughout our Country. By thestatistics recently published by themI learn they have in this valley onehundred and seventy-si- x miles of irri-gating canals, covering 250,000 acresof land. Along and near this river is avery light sandy soil ; after leaving thissand, which extends about half a milein width, then commences quite abody of very heavy adobe land, abouttwo and a half miles in width, extend-ing towards the northeast some threemiles. On some of this adobe land the"cement or hard pan," so called, comesvery near to the surface. On land ofthis character the best crops are grainand alfalfa of which they yield enor-mous crops of the latter, four or morecrops per year and are pastured byhorses, cattle, sheep and hogs the yearround ; these animals thrive and growfat upon it at all seasons of the year.These lands naturally require irrigating very often in the hot dry summers. The soil beyond this adobebelt towards the foot hills is a lightsand, near the foot hills it becomesmore gravelly. This light soil is thebest fruit land in the valley. AboutTempe, nine miles east of Phenix, thesoil is heavy adobe with considerablealkali, though not enough to generallyinterfere with the crops of grain andalfalfa, but the land is almost worth-less for fruit growing for profit.

MESA CITY.

The Mormon settlement eighteenmiles of Phenix, on the south side ofthe river, is, as its name indicates, onthe high mesa or table land. The soilis sandy loam and well adapted to allkinds of fruit. The Mormons havemade great success in fruit growingand wine making and have made agarden of the place during their shortoccupancy of tea years.OF THE VALLEY OF THE GREAT GILA

RIVER.

Coming through your county ofPinal and west to the line of Yumacounty, I find little printed matter ofany sort concerning it and as there iabut one newspaper, the Arizona Enterprise, published at Florence thebeautiful capital of Pinal county ,to setforth its many advantages, I will gomore into details concerning my investigation in this valley.

It may be no surprise to you, but itcertainly was to me and wdl be tonearly every one outside of the valley,to learn that you have 257 miles of irrigating canals constructed and in process of construction at this time, covering 800,000 acres of land, by the following companies viz : Buckeye, GilaRiver, Enterprise, Gould Bros, Palmer,Citrus, Monarch Ditch, Gila River Irligation Company, Gila Bend CanalCompany; the canal in the Pima andMaricopa reservation for which thegovernment paid $150,000 for congtructjon js us'e4 by these ever friendlyand most .Native Americans" from way back, for irrigatingtheir lands and they are celebrated asgram growers and cattle raisers

The Florence Canal, which takestne water several miles above yourbeautiful city of the same name, has itswork now completed tp the SputhernPacific Kailroad at Casa Grande station. The width of this canal is 25feet at the bottom with sloping sides,so as to give an average width of thirty- -

In this valleyevery variety oj grapes, Granges, lemons, olives, figs.pomegranates.peachesapricots, rench prunes, almonds.datesapples, quinces, strawberries, blackberries, (VO., are grown to great perfection and for all kinds of grain andalfalfa it has but few superiors.THE VALLEY OF THE SUNKEN SANTA

CRUZ RIVER,

is undoubtedly the finest one in theTerritory for fruit growing. This valley has several feet of a rich red loamsoil with several feet of a light sandysou underlying it.

I he valley is warmer in the winterthan either that of the Gila or Saltriver. The soil requires less irrigationthan the other valleys described andwith thorough cultivation produces toa wonderlul degree ; jt will undoubtedly prove to be the Citrus Belt of Southem Arizona. The soil never bakeslike the adobe lands further northFor fruit growing and all kinds ofagriculture and stock raising it is notand cannot be surpassed.

THE ARIZONA VINEYARD COMPANY,

At Maricopa Station, have a princelydomain of over 4000 aqres of this royalred loam soil, similar to the celebrated"Red Lands" of California, the like ofwhich is valued in California at $1000per acre for the purpose of plantingtne Muscat ot Alexandria raisin grapesaprjects, peaches, &o and thevmake their lauds pay a net dividend of20 per cent yearly upon this sum andcost of putting the lands under production.

The company purposes to plant outsix sections ot their (and in vines andtrees, one sectiqn each year, and willundoubtedly equal if not exceed Callfornia in the value of their productionsas the climate here as so dry, no dewsor fogs, the grapes store up a greaterpercentage of sugar than in Californiaand raisins can be cured right on theground in a few days after cutting fromthe vines, retaining all their bloomwhich cannot be done any where elseThe cpjnpfiny alsq Intend to lay out aiowh sue, uiey oejng at tne junctionof the Maricopa and Phenix Railroadwith the great Southern Pacific.

to cover their land with water and areindependent of all canal companiestheir expenses and annoyance.

There are ruins ot ancient irrigatingworks directly south of Maricopa, andthe whole valley at the Santa Cruzriver south of the Southern Pacific railroad extending from forty to fiftymiles from it can, if desired, be irri-gated by water from reservoirs madeby dams in the Gila and taking thewater out above the city of Florence bycanals and conveying to the high ortable lands north of the mountainssouth of here and to a point fifteenmiles northwest of Maricopa wherethe Santa Cruz empties into the Gila,thus irrigating the whole slope to theGila river, if desired. This probablywall not be the case, the Southern Paci-fic Railroad obtain water at all of theirstations by steam pumps from wellssunk into the under ground bed of theSanta Cruz as well as the variousstock ranches, and agriculturists andhorticulturists all about them are following their example and have filedon all of the desirable lands on theplains that are covered by water.

All of the great valley will indeedsoon be made to again bloom and blossom as in ancient times when it wasoccupied by a dense civilized people,evidences of which appear all overthis beautiful plain.

The intelligent working of theselands by the improved methods ofagriculture and irrigation, abundanceof water at hand and under the control of man at all times,prove far moresatisfactory and remunerative thangold mining "with the metal all insight, as the miners say.

Mancopians are looking for the airline road from San Diego Bay toYuma to follow the Gila river to GilaBend,frora Gila Bend directly throughthe coming city of Maricopa to yourcity of Florence, and so on up the richvalley of the Gila, through Arizonaand New Mexico to Magdalena, andfrom Magdalena to Socorro the SantaFe road is already running, and fromSocorro to the town of Pan Handle inTexas the same road is already runto Chicago. When completed theywill have almost an air line from SanDiego to New York City and all of thegreat cities north east, by lines alreadyin operation. This road on its routethrough Arizona and New Mexico willundoubtedly go through the richestagricultural and mining region in thecountry.

Of the climate, too much cannot besaid in its praise. During the pastmonUi realistic winter has prevailedthroughout the eastern, middle andwestern states, and genuine blizzardsin some localities with their deadlywork. In central and southern Arizona all has been eternal and delightful sunshine.with the thermometer upto summer heat every day.

Here there are no fogs nor dews andin the hottest days in summer outdoor labor is performed without interruption. Sunstrokes are neverknown ; the heat is more bearable atall times than in the hottest weatherwith the saturated atmosphere of thenorth.

Surely the climate that permits anout door picnic and dinner of 135persons The Illinois Associatipn-"- to

partake of their Thanksgiving dinnerin a park at Phenix last Thursday,with nothing but a canopy of canvasand that to shield them from thebright rays of the sun, must be as nearheavenly as can be made.

There may be a more delightful anddesirable valjeytha this great andbeautiful pnebrt'it is undiscovered.- 1 hope the length of my - letter willnot weary you. ;I.do not see how icould shorten it and be Nearly ur,1?r
