”The best known man in Arizona to-
fl’." a traveler remarked who had just
. returned from that territory, is Colorim-
llm Perry Owens, who has been sherifl of
. admits county, city innra'ml of Winslow
and is now one of the guards of the Wells-
expreas across Arizona. He is an
«in, who went to Arizona 15 years
one. I had along talk with him the other
day as he rode on the train, his rifle and a
couple of navy sixes within easy reach.
“When he learned that I was also a'
. Hoosier and knew his people, Quakers, who
.iive near Carwrsburg, in that county, we
were at once on the best of terms. When
I asked him if the report was true that he
removed from active life more men
‘ than any other man in Arizona, he looked
pained for a moment. Then he answered:
" ‘I was raised a, Quaker, but out here,
you see, a man can't work at that. It
ain’t suited to the Arizona climate. I have
«done a good deal of shooting, but it has all

cial duty. I never murdered a man in my
life, never. My good mother, back in

paper reports, and she misunderstands
them. You ask if i'vo shot 100 men?
Well, no, I haven't—that. is, unless you
want to count Mexicans. he only killed
1‘ white men and wounded .33. Some of
them died after they were wounded, but
that was the fault of the doctor. ,
‘.‘ ‘You ask what episode of this kind I
consider the most exciting in my experi-
ence? These events are all more or less
. exciting, but I think the liveliest of these
aflairs took place over at Winslow when I
was sherifl. I had a warrant for the fel-
low’s arrest and had written for him to
come in and surrender. lie didn’t even
answer‘my letter, which wasn't treating
with proper respect my ofliciai position.
80 after awhile I went after him. He was
at his mother’s house, a double log cabin,
built in L shape. I tied my horse and
went to the house. As I knocked on the
door I caught a glimpse of two faces at a
window at my back. The door opened,
about a foot, and the man I was after
stuck a gun out. I let drive with my win¢
cheater, and as I heard him drop I fired
over my shoulder through the window.
The second loud caught two, killing one
and shattering the armof a younger broth-
er. I know there was still another man in
the house, and that it was dangerous to re-
maln on the. porch. I jumped out into the
open ground, and as I did so I saw a man
sheltering himself behind a buckbonrd. I
ran a few steps and uncovered him. When
I took account of stuck, there Were three
killed and one \voundvd. There were no
further hostilities. The coroner took
charge of the oil'ects, as I didn’t think it
would bopropor for me to not under the
circumstmn'es. The whole affair took plan"
inside a minute.

Popular notions of stomge batteries are
that they accumulate electricity, store it
up and keep it bottled for future use. As
I matter of fact, hewuver, says The mouse

the subtle fluid in an accumulator. What
is done is simply to convert the accumula—

which will tin-mm-le-s become a primary
