A typical Episode of Far Western Life
The Bullet the Arbiter in the SettIemen t
OF Personal GrieVances-Three Lives Less
Among the Ranchmen.
SOCORRo, n. NJ, Sept. 10.
One Of those terrible tragedies in West
ern life which occasionally occur took place
Monday evening on the Alamo ranch of the
Big Four Cattle Company, in the Galena
Mountains, about fifty miles west of Socor-
70, and an examination of the parties took
place this morning before Justice Beall.
Joel Fowler, who killed three Rustlers
about a year ago, started from his ranch
for a COW hunt. He discovered that one of
his men, known as Pony, was a brother of
one of the men whom he had killed. He
discharged him. Pony came into Socorro
and with Butcher-knife f.n returned to
Fowler's ranch to kill him. Fowler was
riding to Alamo ranch with his men, and
when within twenty-yarls of the stone
house saw Pony and Bill. Both Of them
drew revolvers. Bill fired at Fowler. The
latter drew his shotgun and killed Bill at
the first shot. Pony then ran back behind
the house, and fired five times at Fowler,
who had dismounted and ran toward him.
Pony escaped into the house and stood off
Fowler.
At this time MCGEE, who occupied the
house, rode up and learning of the trouble
told Pony to come out of the house. AS he
received no answer, he thought that Pony
was dead, so he walked to the door and
kicked it open and put his head in to look
around. Pony shot him through the head,
killing him at once.
Fowler then proposed to Pony that he
come out and fight him alone with pistols,
or give himself up and be taken to Socorro.
Pony did not answer. The house was then
fired to drive him out, but rather than be
taken Pony killed himself by a bullet
through the head. The intention was evil
IDENTIFY to kill Fowler, as both the men fired
at him at once. They had no other object
in going to the Alamo ranch. Pony had
said when he came to Socorro that he would
leave for Texas. The three bodies were
buried in the same grave. MCGEE was a
good man, respected by all who knew him.
Butcher-knife Bill's real name is said to be
Childs. He was gambler and bore an I'M
savory reputation. Pony Forest had only
lately come from Fort Griffin, Tex.

q COwardIy Assassination Near Tomb
stone, ArizOnia.


TOMBSTONE, 4. T., Sept. Is.
Saturday last two men named j. B..
Jones and John Jarvis, left on horseback
to visit the ranch of j. e. Hand, located
about a mile and a half from the mouth of
Ramsey's Canyon, Hanchuca Mountains
After their arrival they had dispute,
which resulted in a fight. Jarvis whipped
Jones, who, going into Hands house, re-
turned and said to Jarvis, ''You have.
whipped me in your kind of fight, now
fight me my kind of fight" Jarvis re-
fused, stating that he was not armed.
Jones answered, "I'Q give you
show" Returning to the house, he
brought out another gun, which, after
examining and finding it contained no car
fridge, he loaded from his OWN weapon
at this point testimony conflicts, some wit
nesses stating that Jarvis took the gun and
walked of a short distance and then threw
il down. Others state that Jarvis refused
to take the gun and it was thrown down by
Jones, who walked away from Jarvis, the
latter following him up and saying he was
a coward and dare not shoot him. Jones
then raised his rife and-fred, the ball strik-
ing Jarvis in the right breast and bringing
him to the right knee, from which he arose..
and Jones fired again, the ball striking ar
Wis in the right eye, killing him instantly.
The parties present attempted TO approach
Jones, but he warned them off, and, finding
his horse had been scared away by the fir
ing, he mounted horse belonging to Hand,
which was hitched close by, and drove Off
toward the canyon. Before leaving he took
hat from Hands head, having lost his
own in the melee, and also picked up the
rife previously thrown down and took the
loads from it.

A FEARFUL WRECK.

Destruction of n Construction Train with
Over hundred LabOrers on IsOard-SeV-
eraI Men Killed and a Large Number
Terribly NIutiIated-A Hand-Car on the
Track the Cause of the Accident.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 10.
The most disastrous accident that has yet
occurred on the New York, West Shore &
Buffalo Railroad took place this morning at
De Witt, small station six miles east of
this city. A construction train of eleven
fat cars left here at 6:45 a. M, pushed
ahead Of the engine. There were about one
hundred laborers, mostly Italians, on the
cars, on their way to Kirkville to complete
,he balIastipg of the road preparatory to
opening the new line to this city on Octo-
ger 1. Arriving at the point of the disas-
sOr, the train was moving at the rate of
about twenty miles an hour. Rounding
curve hand-car was seen standing on
the track. The engineer could not stop in
time, and the train was completely wrecked.
The cars were broken into fragments and
piled upon each other. Most of the men
jumped and escaped with slight injuries.
Others were thrown as high as forty feet
in the air. About thirty men were buried
in the debris. Heads, arms and legs could
be seen sticking out at nearly all points.
Word reached this city that twenty men
had been killed outright. Relief trains
were sent to the scene at once. Twenty
two bodies were taken from the wreck.
Peter Schmidt, John Carr and Mays Alex
ander were taken out dead. Giuseppe
MareIla died while being conveyed to this
city. Ten men were found very seriously
injured, and the remainder with broken
limbs and diSfgured features. 1t is ex-
pected that five more men will die. An in
quest will open tomorrow. Foreman
Haines, who had charge of the hand-car, is
said To be at fault for Eha accident

The Experience OF a New York Drummer
az the Hands OF a Young Lady OF savan-

Sought Improperly.
SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. 10.
A cowhiding scrape, in which bewitch-
ing brunette of the upper ten thousand
played the leading role, created a veritable
sensation in the city tonight. She had
been annoyed by several notes from man
supposed to be commercial traveller for
New York house, and upon the advice of
gentleman friend granted the unknown
correspondent the privilege of calling at
her home. Not anticipating a trap the
stranger appeared tonight, and had hard
" gained the parIor when he asked the
lady's company for stroll. Ac-
cepting the invitation she left the
house, but had not proceeded half
block when the gentleman who had con-
cocted the plot passed her and handed her
a heavy cowhide. Without a word of warn
ing she suddenly commenced slaShing her
inSulter across the face with the whip and
before he could realize the situation he was
streaming with blood, and had both ewes
nearly closed. His attempted apology only
drew forth more blows, and he finally took
to his heels. The lady appeared not the
least overcome by the excitement, and re-
gained her home before the family were
tized dude fallen into tue hands of the
lady'S brother he would in all probability
have met with dose of cold lead. Efforts
are making to ferret out the man, and if
success full further sensational DEVELOPMENTS
may be looked for.

The Parties -flreSted for E1gihG the Squat.
ter Sovereignty Company Fined $15 and

In the municipal court yes
terday afternoon the three men
arrested for throwing rotten
eggs at the "Squatter Sovereignty" COM
pany on Tuesday night and who pleaded
not guilty to the charge of creating an i'm
proper diversion, when arraigned on We'd
nesday morning, appeared and wilted
on the plea of not guilty and substi-
tuted that of guilty. Arthur
Huey, the head usher, testified respecting
the havoc the defendants had created at
the Academywhen the court concluded that
no other testimony was necessary.
THE FINDING.
In making his finding and fixing the
penalty Judge Cooley made brief but
logical address. He stated that he could
clearly see from the evidence adduced
that the defendants had felt ag-
grieyed at what they chose
to interpret as an insult upon their nation
atty in the play of"Squatter Sovereignty"
and that they supposed they would be
sanctioned by public sentiment in their
efforts to break up the entertainment. But
this country, by its constitution, is open
to the reception of all nationalities but
the Chinese. If any one took exceptions
to or disliked the play the better way
would have been for them to remain at
home. The credit of the city,of the police
force and the courts must be maintained.
This city has enjoyed the reputation OF
preserving as good order as any city in the
United Stated. The conduct of the defend
ants was a serious mistake, and to condone
the offense would be dangerous. The
prisoners are esteemed citizens, but none
the less guilty OF rash, unfortunate
foolish act, and the court Under
the circumstances cannot do otherwise
than to find the defendants guilty of the
misdemeanor charged. The court is placed
in somewhat akward predicament. The
offense, although Of a serious nature, prob-
ably does not call for heavy penalty. The
fine will be placed at SIS and costs each.
At the conclusion of the trial the court
adjourned until to-day, when ensued a
scene of brow beating between the witnesses
and the friends of the defendants, wherein
the witnesses were informed that they
would swear to anything for the fees they
received.
