SHOT.
A Wound That May Cause Harry
WilliamsOn's Death.

WilIiamson's Death.
One of the most genial gamblers that
ever lived in Bodie is Harry Williamson.
and the particulars Of how he was sho.
and how badly they we're sought for at the
time IL occurred by all his many friends.
The Arizona Gazette gives the following
account OF the accident: The Gem sa-
loon was the scene, at s o'clock last
evening of a d%eplorable accident. 1t seems
that Harry Williamson, II. O.. Mcdonald,
Col. Lack and q number OF other persons
we're sitting around q card table. when
Tom Brown, the proprietor Of the place,
and some other gentlemen came in with the
intention Of playing Q game OF cards. Mr..
Brown asked Mcdonald to play or TO get
up, and took hold Of him in q joking man
ner and commenced shaking' him. Nc
Donald, in the spirit OF fun. jumped to
his feot suddenly, and as he did SO q A
caliber, self-acting pistol, which he was
wearing thrust between the belt OF his
psntaloons and shirt, was thrown to the
floor and discharged. The ball struck the
leg Of the chair on which Harry William
son was sitting, then glanced up, entering
the Heshy part Of the thigh on the outside
ranging inward and upward. The
wounded man was Immediately taken TO
his room and Drs. Osborne and Mshoney
were called In 10 wait upon him. The
probe was thrust in several inches, but
failed to reveal the location OF the bullet,
which up to this hour remains undis-
turbed. The wound is apparently . dan
gerous one, but future developments alone
suffice to demonstrate whether or not the
bullet has reached q vital point. Mr.. Will
hanson is resting comparatively easy,
although at times he suffers great pain,
which, the reporter must say. he bears like
q man OF iron nerve. He came to Phpnix
from Pinal about three weeks ago. and be-
longs TO the sporting fraternity, but is
withsl a quiet, modest gentleman.

Iduntc Acid.

"Idunium" is the name proposed by
Professor Websky for the metal just dis
covered by him as one Of the component
parts OF native vandate of lead. The
mineral is rather a scarce one Of yellow
color, and contains several other metals,
of which zinc, iron and arsenic are among
the most prominent. Idunium resembles
vanadine in some respects. both physically
and chemically, while the only oxide
hitherto examined forms stable salts with
alkaline bases. and thus would appear to
possess distinctly acid properties. It will
probably be known by and by as ''idunic
and as its general characteristics
and reactions correspond to those OF vans-
dic acid, its formula will probably be
Id205.

Au ReyOir.

W, E. Davidson left Eureka this morning
for Butte, Moptsns. He is off for fresher
and broader pasturage. A keener. brighter
or more capable young man OF business
would be hard to pick up anywhere.
Handy at anything, whether behind a
counter, bookkeeping, copying, in the
Postofice or sketching live items for q
country newspaper, he is not to be beat by
anybody. He has been q close student OF
law for some time, also. and with a little
more stufing taken in the books. he will
be ready TO bounce into the profession.
He can do well enough any place. We
hope he will. His many friends wish him
all success,

An Old Mill Burned.

@. Baohtold has received q letter from
Schleitheim, his native village, in Switzer-
land, informing him that a Touring mill
at that place, which was built in 1854,
was burned on the night OF Nov. 10 last.
The mill was OF course built OF stone.
When il was built Columbus had not yet
discoyered America, and the belief was
general that the earth was fiat, and
bounded on the west by the Atlantic
Ocean. Now the news of its destruction
ia carried by letter in less than three
weeks, over 5000 miles west, into the
sunknown country" and might be trans
mitted by telegraph in less than ten min
tes.-Silvsr State.
Very interesting to be sure, yet 1t could
be arranged for Herr Bachtold to ''touon
a button" in Winnemucca and start up Gil
the mills that are left in Switzerland at
once.

San Francisco, Dec. 16.-A chronicles
Washington special says: The proposition
which was defeated in the House yester-
day afternoon to issue one, two and five
dollar certificates in lieu Of the one and
two dollar notes was opposed by both the
silver and anti-silver men. Cassidy, OF
Nevada, opposed the bill because he says:
Though on its face friendly, IL conies
from an anti-siver crowd" He says the
the plan OF the silver men this session will
be to oppose everything that is offered on
the question, so that the present laws in
regard TO silver cannot be changed.

WEEKLY CITIZEN. SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1894

THE Territorial grand jury. which was adjourned last Saturday showed tue right spirit, and disclosed the fact that iJ was the first grand inquest of the county we have had for a long time that was not managed or controlled ln q measure by a c0terie of plunderers. The Star some time ago alluded to the fact that the administration of the affairs of the county needed looking after. Our evening contemporary suggested that we were firing random shots. The Star will add right here that not one-half has been brought to light, and ere five months have passed there wall be shown cause for general indigr stion among the taxpayers of Pima oounty.-Stsr.
 If the Star IS so well informed of ras- caity gong on, it appears to US that th taxpayers he harps upon will hold him responsible in a large measure for not exposing the dark deeds of the county officials. The Star has done nothing to bring to light any crooked transaction. What he refers to was a four line item he ventured to publish in haphazard way. He Is good deal like the old man in the loft watching the old woman kill the bear. This same grand jury that has stirred up the school house mud examined all the county officers closely, infinitely, and, with the ex- eeptiOn of the interest paid on the Port Lobos railroad company's bonds, there is no fault found, except of character that is explained without leaving trace of suspicion of wrong doing. We have examined the reports of the committees of the grand jury and each give the respective officer examined a clear receipt for efficiency and honesty. If the Star is so wlse and IS in possession of facts such committees were unable to discover, it is his duty to point them out at once, and not wait five months. The threat Is buncombe, however,-a lot of campaign trash which his party Is an adapt at manufacturing. Yes, if there has been intentional wrong doing going on, and the Star man pos sessed full knowledge of the fact he is as guilty as the party committing the deed. The CITIZEN speaks right out in meetln' and calls for the punishment of any man who IS guilty of intentional and deliberate wrong doing, but it does not sit on 8 fence and yell, sick'em Towser, but takes hand in the chase.
 The statement of the Star that the grand jury which has just been dis charged was the first one for long time that had not been controlled by "cote- rie of plunderers, is a statement that will hardly bear scrutiny. We question the statement altogether. We know It IS wrong m regard to the previous grand jury, whose reports were even more sweeping than those just made public. If We remember correctly, that grand jury had something ugly to say about che railroad the editor of the Star is in- terested in.

GOLD SPECIMENS.
Vince lDs Gold from the C@ur d'Alenes
 Comes From.

Comes From.
 The Salt Lake Chronicle IS devoting its talent and energy to exposing the Ceur d'Alene boom. The extracts are taken from the Chronicle of the 18th instant:
 The reporter this morning met a wholesale merchant of San Francesca who is the owner of one of the most complete cabinets of ore specimens on the coast, and light heretofore un- thought of was incorporated into the' CGur d'Alene. The gentleman, who Tor social and business reasons deslred ms name to be omitted from thls P-hcle, sad:
 "It would surprise you to learn the means which the people having eialms and property to sell in the new El Do rado resort to for the purpose of givlng the country a greater notorIety. would probably have never known or one or the advertising dodges had not been directly interested in transaction which gave me true insight into the ways in which the country Is advertls ed. I had in my cabinet about sixteen ouuces of free gold quartz specimens
 
 chased at from S5 to Sl0 an ounce While in San Francisco the last time A Kearny street broker named Abrams came to me with a proposition to pur- chase my specimens, and offered me S3O an ounce for them. The offer looked SO | large that was induced to ask him what he could do with them and get his money back, after paying that figure. He pro- duced letter from reliable man Of | Portland, Oregon, whose name l have | forgotten, but who owns claims in the new district, authorizing him to buy up the best specimens of free gold quartz he could find and send them to hlm at | Portland. The Portland man agreed to pay $40 per ounce upon receipt of the | specimens.
 Well, 1 sold Abrams sixteen ounces at $50, and received his check for S4SO. 1 also learned from the letter that | Abrams showed me that most of these specimens were to be sent to Spokane and railroad points near the new district, and be exhibited as the productions of the Coeur d'Alene district. I afterwards learned from Abrams that he had re- ceived his S640 for the specimens, and that they were disposed of as the letter had stated.
 "rhe fact in the case Is simply this, they haven't got any specimens out of the new district worth showing, and to keep up the boom they were compelled to resort to such measures and trades IS the one they made with Abrams of San Francisco. I have learned that Abrams is still engaged in buying the best speclmeEs and sending them to parties near the C9ur d'Alene." The gentleman who gave the Informa- ton to the Chronicle IS one thoroughly reliable and well known to all the wholesale merchants Tn tbIs city, and this only adds another torpedo to the explosives used by this paper to blow up boom built on fiction and falseEoUd. and for the sole purpose of inducing pell nell rush of over-credulous miners to the district.

A Gypsy Queens Funeral.

Gannie Jeffers, Queen of the Gvpsiss of the United States, died at Greepba5 Tenn, March 10th, and was buried s,
 Dayton, Ohio, April l5. The cypsigs are encamped all about the city to tbe number of about l,500, travelling by wagon from all parts of the country. The Queen was embalmed and lail Out in Nashville, Tenn, immediately upon her death, and, when brought tO Dayton. where her tribe own considerable prop- erty and large lot in Woodland Genet. cry, where lie buried the former Oueen and King of the gypsy tribes of this nation, she looked beautiful indeed. She was in handsome casket made of the finest wood and lined in finest silks and satins and mounted with gold and jewels. The lot belonging to the gyIsies IS marked by beautiful and exquisite monument of granite. shipped here from Greece. The funeral procession. composed entirely Of gypsies, formed iu the northern section of the city and marched to the southern extremity ot the city, where the cemetery is located. At the grave a rope was stretched around 1t, leaving an inclosure large enough for the mOurners to stand. The funeral services were conducted by one of the leading pastors of this city, with the choir of his church. There were stifed cries and sObs as the mOurners gathered about the grave. The preacher referred to the decea~ed, whom he had known personally in life. She had been Christian, he said, and the Bib.e she had worn with reading was placed at her feet.-Chicago Tribune.

The Millgan Guards of Prescott, a local military organization of that city, have made application to be mustered into the First Regiment of Arizona h. fantry and for sixty stands of arms and accoutrements. In accordance with the application, Governor Tritle at once sent the following ord CT:

WORK has been suspended on the Sheep's Nest mine in the Quiiotos dis trict. The ore body is believed to have petered out.-Star.
 The above statement is made regard less of the facts. NIT. Palmer, Presi- dent of the North Peer company, m- forms us that work has not been sus- pended; that there IS both night and day force constantly at work The tun- nel is in 45 feet, and the indications are excellent for striking the ore body, which has not yet been struck. The company has never pretended that the ore body had been struck. Such reck- less statements do much injury not only to Quiiotoa, but to mining interests at large. No company can object to have facts stated, but no one can afford tn have their prospects or mines misrepre- sented.
