Says it was By Accident.
 St. Louis, May l8.-The Post-Dis- patch prints statement made by H. M. Brooks, alias Maxwell, now on trial for the murder of c. Arthur Preller, which will constitute his only defense, and which will bs urged by his attorney in the trial. in word, he will confess to killing Preller by accident, while acting as his physician, and that being frightened and excited, he concealed instead of making known the fact Gf his death. He declares he Ias always wanted to tell the facts, and only refrained by the advice of his attorneys. The following is Brooks statement:
 "Mr. Preller was suffering from pri- vate disease, for which I had previous ly, prescribed, mixing the medicines myself from bottles in the medicine chest which 1 carried with me; but his ailment had reached a stage when it was necessary to make certain invest igations. 1 was obliged to use cathe ter, and in using the catheter, when the parts were infamed, I had
 PREVIOUSLY APPLIED cEILoRoFoRM, In order to produce condition or mar catism. 1 explained the process to Preller and told him what I should have to do. He was not only willing but was very anxious for me to treat him in this manner"
 Brooks then tells of the purchase of chloroform, which was spilled in the sink on Sunday afternoon while he was washing the instruments prepara- tory to operations; of his going to Fernow's drug store and buying more; denying incidentally the statements that he there showed evidences of hur ry and excitement, and continues: About P. NJ. we began the opera tion. 1 administered cilloroform in the usual way, holding a saturated cloth to his nose. Mr. Preller passed through the first stage all right, It took several moments, l don't know exactly how long; then he. entered the second stage, and here
 THE TERRIBLE RESULT CAME.
 1 discovered, too late, that. he was dy ing. Imagine my horror when this fact dawned upon me. I was wild with fright, but had presence of mind enough to cut his shirt and undershirt from his body, and getting wet towel I beat him around the neck an should CTS for half an hour or more. l did not give up until I was ready to drop from exhaustion, and my efforts were not relaxed until he had been dead some time. All the clothes he had at the time were his shirt and undershirt. He had stripped for the operation. What did do when I saw my friend dying2 What could I do2 | didn't know what to do, except to drink; and I drank freely, drank every. thing. could get, wine, whisky, everything. What were my thoughts'

Arizona ApricotS.

Prophet Potts left at the Times sanctum yesterday a little box of ripe apricots They are two weeks earlier than the first apricots generally imported from the upper country, and full month earlier than those which ripen here. Mir. Potts fruit was grown in the Salt River valley, near Phenix, Ari- zona. This is the section about whose fertil- ity, water supply and general resources so much has recently been said Nr. Potts holds that, if fine fruit can be produced there much earlier than in California. there Is good thing in growing it. In conjunc- tion with his brother, he has made arrange ments to plant thirty acres near Prescott, and has shipped trees from here for that purpose. He plants mostly appricots.
 Mir. Potts recalls the time in his pioneer ing days, when his brother -in-Iaw drove out to the Territory with four-horse team. taking forty bushes of apples as his cargo The fruit was sold in and near Prescott at 40 to 50 cents pound, and the venture netted $500. The trip out and back requir- ed about six weeks.
 The prospects, in view of the Salt River development are that Arizona will some day send back a Roland for our Oliver, supply ing this section with early high-priced fruit.-Los Angeles Times.

 He says he supposed the post nor tenn when the body was found would disclose the nature of the operation and cause of death. According to his own story, the cutting off Preller's moustache, the inscription about ''traitor" found in the trunk, and all other queer things connected with the tragedy are to be attributed to his use of liquor and fear-crazed condition after the fatality.

Some time since MT. George Thurlow cir culated among our citizens and raised sufi- cient funds to repair and repaint the fence of the protestant grave yard, which has been done. Now if the friends cf those buried there will fix up the graves it will add much to the appearance. We would especially call the attention to those graves of some of our prominent citizen who have died, viz: Mir. Leo Furrer, who was Chair man of the Beard of Supervisors at the time of his death; Judge Mullen, an Assistant District Attorney; and MT. Ketchum, a manager of the store of Sisson, Crocker & Go. The graves of these gentlemen are in very bad condition and should be attended to at once.

MINNEAPOLIS COOPERs.

There seems to have been good deal of
feeling aroused among Minneapolis Journey
men by the proposition to separate the two
branches of the cooper family into as many
assemblies. AS rule they are very much
opposed to the scheme, and say that a sepera-
ton can only be made by the co-operatives
withdrawing from the old organization and
forming new one. Some of the smaller CO
operative shops also look upon the move with
disfavor, and it seems now quite improbable
that it will be kcarried out.-Northwestern
