leveled at nim. Knowing that If he succeeded in oyerpowerIng Casey Sin clair would come to the rescue by taking his life, the jailor started to retreat out side the door to call for help. He found the door closed behind him, and just as he was in the act of opening it, Casey fired again, the ball passing through his body from his Lack. crtting his bowels in its passage. He herOIcally succeeded in opening the door and passed out, and knowing that the jail breakers would try to escape through that door into the jail yard and then scale the tifteen-foot wall to gam their freedom, he held the knob of the door with a determined strength, at the same time calling loudly for help. It was some minutes before his alarm was heard, and when It was, men appeared at open window of the Sheriff's office, which commands the jail yard, and with loaded guns prepared to shoot down anyone who attempted to pass out, called to the jailor to let go the door aud come to the window, where Q step lader was lowered and he ascended to the window, passed in and was assisted to cot. The guards then entered the jail yard. They found that Casey aud Sinclair had left two of the three pistols they had secured from beneath the mattress of the jailor's bed, on a shelf near the door of the jailor's room, bat the third pistol was gone. Casey had passed through the aperture he made Tn the grating above the cells by springing an Iron bar from its socket. and was quietly sitting on the top of the further end of the cells. Knowing that another pistol was missing, they called to him to come forward and throw up his hands, at the same time leveling their pistols upon him. He came down the ladder from the top of the cells and dodged into the vault at its foot. He refused to come out until four shots had been fired through the light wooden screen partition of the vault, which passed over his head, he having crouched down to Its floor. On coming out he told the guards that the pistol was in the closet of the sink, and 1t was found where he said 1t was.
 Notwithstanding every possible atten- ton the wounded iaIlOr died at the hos pital on the evening of the day he re- ceived his mortal wound. There was universal indignation over such 8 brutal murder, and a strong effort was made by citizens to lynch Casey. 1t the fol- lowing term of court both Sinclair, previously charged with highway rob bery, and Casey were indicted for
 MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
 Sinclair pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree, and was sentenced to prison for life Casey stood trial, and being convicted was sentenced to be hanged. Ills counsel appealed the case, but the actlon of the lower court was affirmed. The condemned criminal would have been re-seDtenced and hanged long before this but for the death of Judge Sheldon.

Given by the Ladies Society of the Brother
 hood of Locomotive Bremen.
 The Ladies' Society of the Brother hood of Locomotive Bremen IS an or- gsnization standing in the same relation to the B of l. F that the Eastern Star degTeee stands to Masonry. TLe organ ization in this city is new, but being composed mostly of enthusiastic and cultured lgdi,s, 1t cannot but flourish and do much to bring the Bremen and theIr associates into pleasant social cir cles and make their home and lodge room surroundings more attractive than the public resorts to which, men naturally drift when not surrounded by such in- fi1ences as this society aim to and are bringing to bear.
 The regular monthly social given in their hall last night was one of the best yet given which is abundant evid- ence of the success of the or ganizatlon. The hall ,eas full to oyeraowing, many prominent persons outside of the Bremen and their families being present and the entertainment was most interesting one. Following Is a programme of the literary and musical exercises. Organ solo by Prof. Ludwig Thomas. Duet, Over the Moonlit Sea, by Miss Sadie Appel Guitar solo, Railroad GallOp, by Mrs. Ed. Bowers and Prof. Richardson. Vocal solo, The Pretty Red Rose, by Mrs 4. II. Howard. Recitation, The Pilots Story, by Miss Emma Monk. Vocal solo, The Heart thl. IS Tried and True, by Miss Jessie Medbery. Recitation. The Charcoal Man. by Mrs. F. D. Simpson. Duet, Gently Signs the Breeze, by Goodsell and daughter.
 The Nondescript, a paper edited en- tirely by the ladies' of the Society was read by Mrs. r. Mariner. It was filled with good things and the numerous local hits brought down the house ire quently.
 Mir. and Mrs. GrOssetta rendered some fine selections from The Bohemian Girl on the claronet and organ.
 A poem, Our BrOtherhood,w was recited by Mrs. Anna Livingston.
 Mir. E. P. Sargent read letters from ?. W. Arnold, Grand Master of the 5. of l.. F. and Eugene " Debs, editor of the FIremen's Magazine congratulating and cemplimentiug the ladies on their or ganizatiOn.
 An organ solo by Prof. Thomas closed this part of the programme.
 The ladies who had set up a stove III the ante-rOom then furnished their rue.ts with an abundance of hot coffee, cakes ani other delicacies and most enJoyable tire was had. Af'er refresh ments the remainder of the evening was spent in general social enjoyment and the ladies no doubt returned home feel ing that their efforts to entertain their friends had been successful.

No special attention seems hitherto to have been called to the remarkable portraits of American statesmen that have recently been appearing in Harper's. They have included so far full-page portraits of Washington, the elder Adams. Jefferson, Madison. and Alexander Hamilton, besides several smaller portraits; for the May number We are promised Monroe, Henry Clay, and Rufus King; and Mfr krUell, the distinguished engraYer who has done most of these, is understood to be busy upon the younger Adams, Jackson, Calhoun, Webster and others. The portrait of Buchanan in the January number may also be mentioned. Many of these have been engraved from original paintings or drawings not be- fore reproduced, and the result IS likely to be an American portrait gallery titly presented in the highest style of the especially American art of wood-engrav- | tug.

 Some weeks ago, on his return from a | prospecting tour to the Pinto hills. east of Yuma, John W. Grant, in conyersa- tion with a CITIZEN reporter, had bis as- tention more particularly called to the Sierra Nadre, and Mr Grant expressed a willingness to go there. providing he had enough company to stand off Ind lans and keep a man from getting too lonesome. The reporter suggested ad- yertising, to which Mir. Grant agreed. Accordingly the power of printers ink was tried in a ten-line paragraph the next day, and to Mr. Grants surprise and pleasure about a dozen men called around and offered to go. Out of this number seven began to prepare in earn est, and Wednesday five of them moved out of Tucson fully equipped for six months trip. They are John w. Grant, Daniel Garus Alexander McKen- zie, Len Johnson and c. Fl. Van Bunt- huysen. Each man has fine riding animal, pack mule, rifles, pistols, knives, picks and abundance of ammu- milton and provisions. Their route lies past Dayidson's springs, Crittenden, Fort Huaohuca, Ochoaville, Fronteras to Bavispc. From this last named place they will cross the Sierra Madre to Ja- nos, and thence go to Corralitos. From this latter place they will cut loose from all civilization and plunge into the depths of the unknown beyond. From this place they will communicate with the CITIZEN before taking last fare well. From CorralitOs they propose to explore the Sierra Madre southward, principally on theIr eastern slope, and also will go into the interior. About next October, If the Apaches have not gobbled up this gallant little band of prOspectOrs, the CITIZEN expects to have a good report from these brave men. Success, boys.

of striking me when I fired the first shot. Mr. Holbrook turned around and ran for the back door, and under the great excitement and impulse of the moment l fired the second shot. It never entered my mind for a moment to do Mir. Holbrook any injury or bodily harm. When 1 turned around St. Clair was at the corridor door asking the guard to come back into she jail again Immediately after the first shot was fired he threw the pistol 1 had given him down upon the floor, and when turned around into the office after firing the second shot I picked up the pistol and laid 1t with the other one upon the shelf and then went back into the jail through the same hole came out of. A few mo- ments after St. Clair followed. He said "Casey, what did you want to do that for?" He said, "I told you before We went out that would not have anything to do with hurting any one" 1 said. "Harry, you do not think l intended to do what I did?" He said, No, Casey, I do not" At no time did St Clair and myself plan to do any one any bodily injury. At the time St. Clair and my self went into the office there was At4GAACnll hlSb EOt DtAN lnLDuEu Nllc EEdl- ing and went with us. He was equally guilty as St. Clair, but was not prose- cuted. St. Clair was almost forced to plead guilty, and was made to believe that by so doing it would help me. He is innocent of having anything to do with the killing of Jailor Holbrook. I make this statement in justice to St Clair, and hope his case will be fully in. vestlgated.
 As my days are numbered, make this statement Tn behalf of St. Clair, as feel in duty bound to do an innocent man justice. JOSEPH CASEY.
