Our neishb can rest assured that
representative men" will be chosen,
men in whom the entire community
can put explicit confidence, and fur
thermore, the NOMINEES will rally to
their support every lover of honest
government. 1t is Of vital interest TO
the city lust Mt the present time that
men in whom public confidence is
placed should condsct municipal al
fairs, and no property owner can af-
ford to take any chances in this con-
test. Hence the certainty o! success

lf transplres that the unfortunate
report Of the murder OF the prospect.
ors on Priest lake by Indians is Il
cnnard, and that there WAS no grounds
whatever for the statement. The gen
tlcman who sent the dispatcn from
Sand Point believed that such muir

word on the strength of what he con.
silered good and sufficient grounds.
Very lucky for the country one of the

he lis now in this city looking the pic

sary to add that the many friends OF

him in the flesh after the shock oi the
news of his brutal murder. 1t will be

as was the practice in the early days
of the coloni cation Of America when the
struggle To- maintain life against the
onslaught Of the willy savage was the
greatest hardship that the settler had

miners ol the northwest have never
experienced any trouble with the
Indians, at least, no serious trouble
where lie has been sacrificed on
either side, The Indians have never

six months ut u point far remote from

W. are pleased to bc able, at sn early
a date, to positively deny the reported
murder On the strength of the appear
ance of one of the parties supposed for
day to have been numbered among
the victims Of Indian brutality, and
trust that the denial OF the report viii
find ms wide circulation as did the
first dispatch. The miners of the
various districts in this part of the
country are ~ safe as the people Vi
the towns and cities, and they scout
the idea OF trouble from the natives.
An occasional drunken Indian may
commit crime wherever the Indian ex-
lists fer many years to come, but he
has ceased to be dangerous az an open

gentlemen in the city among represen-
tativenen, only got the paitV support
OF seventeen votes out of tha two or
three hundred polled We could go
further and tell the Chronicle that
our present efficient chioi of police
received the endorsement OF that con-
vGntion for reelection only because

TOM ELLIS DowNED AT LAST.

just Deserts.

Special Dispatch TO the Appeal.
BIRMiSGnAM, Ala, Feb 1.-The re-
doubtable Tom Ellis, the murderer of
Clara Ross and murdorous assauter Of De-
tectiye scarborough, tonight met the fate
that has a hundred times been predicted
for him. lie now lies apparently MORALLY
wounded. Andrew J. Sullivan, well
known detective whom Ellis incorrigibe
HoiTd has vilifed as il has any number
OF other men about town, did the work.
Sullivan helped 10 arrest Ellis some two
weeks ago when he shot Scarborough, and
in his first issue after he got out on bond
he wrote Sullivan up in the HOrnd style
charging him with all manner Of venality
and brutality and cowarlice. Sullivan was
out OF town ut the time, but returned to-
day Just in time To find another HOrnd ON
the streets with another volley OF the same
sort of things. Putting forty-iour
caliber pistol in his pocket and
telling number of friends what he
meant 10 do he went cunning Tor Ellis,
whom he didn't find until shortly after
dark. AT that time sullivan was sitting
in the Hewitt billiard hall, when Ellis
entered. As their eyes met both pulled
their guns and went TO work. After
eight shots were fired Ellis walked
out to the sidewalk and sat down,
and II was then found that
he was twice wounded, one ball, CHANGING
from billiard table, grazed his cheek and
another went through his stomach and
back. This wound, il is thought, win kill
him before morning. sullivan wasn't
hit. lie gave himself up TO n
policeman who entered shortly aiterward
aud was taken 10 the Florence hotel To
supper. lie is now under guard at his
room, There he will remain until morn.
ing, when he will be given over TO the
sheriff. Ellis says he took no note of
sullivan "a he entered, and was
twice shot before he could get his pistol
out. Sullivan says Ellis was apparently
about TO draw and that he Just got the
drop. Nobody can tell just how the thing
happened although the room was crowded.
