Prescott Courtroom Tragedy.

From the Courier of Monday morning we clip the following state ment concerning the tragedy in the courtroom there on Saturday. It will be noticed that it differs very markedly from the Miners report which we published yesterday and if established will lay grave res possibility at oth CT doors. We pub> fish it as a matter of interest, for what it is worth:
 Here is the story of the trouble which occurred in Court on Satur- day morning:
 Kelsey vs. McAteer on trial.
 The right to use of one half inc waters of Kirkland creek involved h case.
 Churchill, attorney for plaintiff; Rush & Herndon, attorneys for de> fendant.
 Moses Langley, first witness for plaintiff, on the stand and under re- direct examination.
 c. B. Rush, on cross examination of Moses Langley called attention of the witness to an affidavit made by him NaDgley) in 1878, which stated facts entirely different from what witness had just testified to. MT. Rush first read the affidavit, holding it Tn his own hand MT. Churchill then took it, and Rush read it Q sec~ end time. over the shoulder of Chur- chill. On redirect examination, Churchill offered to introduce the entire affidavit. Rush objected on petent evidence on part of the plain> tiff. Churchill then said Rush had garbied a portion of the affidavit, Rush then interfered. Churchill, ln a sneering way, said he was address ing his remarks to the court, not to Rush. Rush said: "Mr. Churchill, you must not charge me with garb> Ing an instrument, even to the court" Churchill then said, speak ing to Rush: ''I do not need the court to protect me, and, if you say that you did not garblc the affidavit, YOU LIE"
 With these words Churchill grabs bed an inkstand and threw it at Rush, just as Rush rose and struck Churchill in the face with his hand. Rush then caught Churchill's head under his arm. c. w. Beach and James Moore then sprang toward Rush, striking him in the back. J. i>C. Herndon then threw an inkstand at Churchill and commenced 10 assist Rush.
 P. McAteer, then, for the first time, arose from his chair, and went also to Rush's assistance. He sligh- tly cut Beach and passed him and cut James Moore, who was still striking Rush in the back, Tn the arm. When the trouble was appar- ently over, Beach. who had passed outside the bar, came down near McAteer and shot while McAteer's face was from him.
 We, the undersigned citizens of the county of Yavapai, eye witnesses of the difficulty which ecurred in the court room on the morning of the 1st of December, 1883, certify that the above and foregoing state, ment of the facts is correct. WM. WILKINSON.

been endeJ by the execution Of the last of three brothers whose atrocities are unparalleled and cost the lives of four persons besides themselves, the last of whom swung of the gaIlows with the most blood curdllng impre- cations on his lips and vowing he would rather drink the shcriffs' hearts blood than any man he knew of.
 And in all probability cur eastern breathren have also forgotten the recert tragedy in New Hamshire- in cold, moral, sinless New Ham shire-where four persons were mur- dcrcd by a fcnd with a hatchet, their death5eds piled upon them, covered with kerosene and set on fire. Fortunately one of the per- sons in this funeral pyre was not so dead as she seemed and when he had lighted the match and retired, ex> tricated her mangied body from the heap and had life enough left to give the alarm to sleeping neighbors before she expired rom her terrible wounds. Of course our brethren of the quill will forget these little in stances in eastern society and turn to the horrors of Arizona society with uplifted hands and horror> painted countenarces. Brethren of he East: First cast out the beam that is in thine own eye," etc.

The Prescott Tragedy in Court
From the Miner.1

On assembling of Court this morn ing at 10 o'clock, Judge French, in the presence of full bar and attor. neys, made the following remarks:
 In this matter for which I have called Special Grand Jury to ap- pear Tuesday morning. I would per haps have called for Monday if it had not been for the request of MT.
 Wells, who has been appointed Spe- cial District Attorney to act in the premises. I have invited the mem> bers of the press, with a view to ex- pressing my opinions on the lamenta- ble occurrence of last Saturday. It is my judgment that the least said about this matter, until the Grand Jury consider It. the better. l shall instruct the Jury that they must pay no attention nor base their actions on what has appeared in the press, or the reports that have teen circu- lated on the streets, but consider the facts and merits of the case. I would request the citizens also not to discuss the matter, and have ad~ vised those who were present not to talk about the matter. Since it's oc~ currence I have aseertained there was no marshal, sheriff or deputy in Court, but it was so instantane ous and qaick that it seems to me and those with whom l h ave talked that if there had been fifty officers pres ent the affrGy could not have been prevented. It was one of those cc~ currences that burst out like a flash of powder and was beyond any con
 trol When this Grand Jury shall have conven ed I will try to charge them in a manner I think is best calculated to promote peace, justice and quiet tness. Ny auention has been called this morning to state Aent pnblished in a paper here, which I regretted exceedingly to sec IIhaye already spoken to such

alarm, I am quite sure they will be agrecably disappointed. What the country has right to expect is strict economy in the administration of every department of government; just and equal taxation for public purp ,ses; the faith iul observance of the limitations of the constitution; a scrupu ous ~egard for the in crest of the great body of the people Tn order that they be a power to pro- tect them aga;nst encroachments om every direction. Whatever can be done under the circumstances surr0GnDing us to meet this eXpacta> ;o1~ouaht b be done, in my judg ,nent ~''sut, gentlemen. without de- taininq vo,,@ furtaer, I am ready to take the oath ,af office prescribed by the constitution sud laws. and pro. ceed to complete the organization Of the house.

CARLIsLE's ADDREss.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Upon talk ing the chair, Carlisle said: Gcn- tlemen of the House of Representa- tives, thank you sincerely for the high honor conferred by the vote just taken; to be chosen from the membership of body like this to preside over it's deliberations is distinction upon which any citizen properly my congratulate himself
 and I assure you your kindness is fully appreciated; at the s me time 1 realize the fact that the posi- ion which you assign me is one of very great labor and responsibility, and and while profoundly grateful for this manifestation of your conf> dence, I shall enter upon the dis charge of it's duties with serlous distrust of my capacity 10 meet in an acceptable manner the reQu.

That yOn will cheerfully co~operate with me in every proper effort 10 preserve and taci itate busi- ness legislation 1 have no doubt; but, gentlemen. I shall ask someth ing more than mere cooperation in the discharge of my duty. Assuring you of my earnest desire at all times to be just and impartial, still I cannot avOld mistakes, and shall be cons pelled th erefore to frequently rely upon the friendly forbearance of gentlemen on both sides of the house. 1 am sure, ntiemen, all matters of legislation presented to this congress will receive from you such careful consideration as the magnitude and character of intert SIS involved require in your acton upon them. Radical changes If lawS and regulations affecting the commercial and industrial interests of the people ought never to be made unless imperatively demanded by some public emergency, and in my opinion under the existing circum- stances such changes would not be favorably received by any considera

 Many reforms are undoubtedly ne cessary, and 1t will be your duty, after a careful examination of the subject in all it's bearings, to decide how far they should expand, and when and in what manner they should be made.

Alt is stated that Percy Jacobus, secretary of the Eureka Consolidated Mining Company, who it is reported is $3O,> 900 short in his accounts, will be re gularly arrested and charged. His uncle, Judge Heyd d-nfeldt, refuses to do anything to help hlm. It is believed the private property of Ja- cobus does not amount to anything considerable. He owned 80 acres of land near L1vermore, but conveyed It last month to Walter Mendenhall for the nominal consideration of one dollar.
