4 Stab in the Dark

Sometimes fails of it's murderous intent. The insidious and dast- ardly attacks made upon the repu- tation of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters by persons who seek to palm off cheap and fiery tonics as identical with it, or ''the same thing under another name," or equally as good" in most in- stances react disastrously upon the unprincipled traders upon popular credulity who attempt them, converting their specula- tions into ruinous failures. The Bitters is pure, wholesome and thorough medicine, adapted to the total cure and presentation of fever and ague, bilious remittent, dyspepsia, constipation, bilious ness, debility, nervousness and kidney troubles. It's every in gredient, unlike those in the irni- tations of it. is of an ascertalned standard of excellence, and while they, by reason of their fiery properties, react injuriously upon the brain and nervous system, of both those organs it is sedatlve and invigorant. Refuse all these harmful limitations.

Norman Buck Killed.

A great deal of excitement at Lordsburg was occasioned last Saturday night, owing to the kill ing of Norman Buck, a young, promising and popular attorney, by Otter Johnson, a shoemaker.
 From information at hand we learn the following particulars: It appears that there had been ill- feeling between the parties for some time over townsite matters, and on the evening above men toned the parties became in volved in dispute in front of Johnson's place of business. Words waxed warm and Buck turned to walk away when John son drew his gun and fired at the former, the ball entering at the base of the brain and coming out over the eye. The deceased breathed but about three minutes after receiving his wound. It seems the general impression that the affair was a cold-blooded mur- der.
 Excited people soon gathered, and for time it looked much as if matters would be taken in hand by Judge Lynch, but sober coun- sells prevailed and the law will probably take its course.
 Much sympathy is expressed in Clifton for the untimely fate of Mir. Buck, who was we'll known and universally esteemed here.

place, the territory being repre- sented by the District Attorney and the prisoner by Messrs. Pat terson and Thurmond. No evi- dence of any character to impli- cate the accused with the killing of Martinez was adduced, and the only occurrences that varied the monotony of the examination were the tilts between the opposing counsel, in which the District At torney aired his intelligence, learning" and brogue.
 Peter Spencer took the stand and gave his version of the en counter, in which the events pre- ceding and subsequent to the kill ing were substantially the same as published last week. In rela- ton to the shooting, however, he told different story, as follows: While standing behind the bar my pistol was thrust in my pants in front, and Martinez suddenly reached over and grabbed it. It was while struggling for the pos session of it that it was discharged by Martinez, he having hold of it at the breech. When I tripped Martinez up and we fell to the floor together the pistol fell from our hands and Longmore ran for ward and picked it up and rushed behind the bar. Subsequent events were described very much as by Molloy's testimony. He also explained his former story told last week to Justice Sias and the CLARION reporter by saying that he knew that his life would be in danger from a mob, and that he wanted immediate and prompt protection.
 Dr. Hoeffer was called and tes- tifed to the direction of the bull let which killed the Mexican.
 This ended the testimony, and Justice Sias, after consideration of the testimony and upon the motion of the District Attorney, ordered the discharge from GUS tody of the prisoner.
 Immediately upon the compile tion of Spencer's examination, the cases of Harrison and O'Daly were taken up, and after the swearing of witnesses was con- tinued until 6 o'clock in the even- ing, from which hour, owing to the sleepy condition of the Dis trict Attorney, it was continued until 9 o'clock this morning. As we go to press the examination of Messrs. Harrison and O'Daly is Tn progress.
