HE SPOILED his WEDDING.
A Man Drugged and Robbed in
Dive Saloon ON
Main Street.

Emell Metzler was arrested yesterday
on charge of battery, preferred by Mrs.
Hossman, who appeared at the police
station with her nose badly bruised and q
swollen upper lip, which she said was
caused by Metzler's fist. Yesterday was
to have been Metzler's wedding day, and
it is related that Miss Lena Meiniger was
to have been his bride. 1t will be re-
membered that short time since man
named Joe Skrobinski was arrested and
charged with burglarizing trunk on
Boyd street. Joe was half brother to
Metzler and was said to be engaged to
Lena. No sooner was Joe taken to the
County Jail, where he is now incarcer-
ated than, it is said, Metz
Ter laid siege to Lena's affections
to such good purpose that yesterday was
to have been their wedding day. Mrs.
Hossman. who has had considerable
trouble with her husband and is said to
be working woman, for some
reason says she left some clothes at
Lena's house and yesterday went there
to get them because they had not been
sent home. She alleges that they were
retained as part of Lenas' wedding out
fit and that her demand angered Metzler,
who knocked her down and not only
bruised her face, but kicked her and
tried to stamp on her face. Metzler's
wedding was spoiled and Mrs. Hossman
said she would appear against him this
morning,

appointed at the last meeting of the
Board were received. One came without

fact that only twenty acceptances had
been received rather surprised the Board
who expected that acceptances would be
forwarded at once. Several applications
for positions as teachers were received
and referred to the Committee on Teach
ers. Applications were also received for
positions as janitors and referred to the
Janitor's Committee. After discussing
the supplying of the school department.

Ten chicks have been hatched oHt

trich farm near Nor ak, and the ques-
ton is now satisfactorily settled that os-
trich farming is carried on under the
most favorable conditions in this coun-

picking this year and the returns will Is
about 500 to $115 for feathers
alone from each bird. There
is big demand for the plumage
in fact, more than the present ranches
can supply. At the Los Feliz farm near
this city the birds are also doing remark
ably well and Mr.. Beauchamp, the
proprietor, will reap a rich harvest as
result of his speculation. Since the
enterprise of Southern California has
shown how profitable an industry this is,
the residents of Western Arizona are
anxious to have finger in the pie, and
farm is to be established near Phoenix.

Fire.
John Abbott's tumble-down rookery,
west side of Alameda, near Also street,
was burned to the ground this morning
at o'clock.
At that hour an alarm was sent the
Fire Department, from the box at the
southeast corner of the thoroughfares
named. The Richmond system. as usual,
worked badly and the department was
sent nearly to Fifth and Main streets
before flare in the heavens pointed out
the true location of the fire. The boys
responded with great promptness and
soon had the fire out after protecting
adjoining valuable property.
The building has been leased by
women of the town and was divided into
a series of "cribs." 1t is estimated the
loss will be about $4,000, fully covered
by insurance.

NATURALIZATION.
August 4th the Last Day to Become
NaturaliZed.

1t is the important duty of every Demo,
crat to see to it Immediately that all who
are eligible should be naturalized, so
that their vote will not be lost at the
coming election.
Naturalization will close on August 4th,
and naturalizations effected after that
date will not entitle the person to vote at
the forthcoming election in November.
It should be the desire of every Demo
crat in every precinct Of this county to
enroll all persons who are entitled to be-
come citizens by virtue of the laws relat
ing to naturalization.
the following extracts from section
2,165, United States revised statutes,
bearing upon the same, have special
reference to the subject;
First papers-Any alien over 18, arriving in
two years and have two itnesses-citizens
who have known him in the United States five
years.
To Register-Any alien arriving in the United
States under 18 need not take out first papers,
but must have two witnesses -citizens who
have known him five years and before he at
tanned his 18th year.
Where two witnesses cannot be procured as
above one witness knowing the applicant the
required time, and one knowing him at least a
year. will suffice.
discharge OF three years service in any Ameri
can merchant vessel, and who has taken out
his first papers. can be admitted to citizenship
upon proper testimony.
U. s. Army--Any alien having an honorable
discharge from the armies of the United States
can be natp.alized upon the testimony OF one
witness, Without first papers.
Any native born female or the wife or daugh-
ter of citizen, over 18 years of age, will be 9
good witness.
Last Day-August 4th is the last day
for the naturalization OF voters for the
coming election.
Vo.er's Qualifcations-State, year
county, 80 days; precinct, 80 days; age
81 years.
Too much stress cannot be laid upor
the great necessity of naturalization, es
pecially as the time is now so near wher
the naturalization list will be closed.
Let every Democrat see to it, therefore
that his brother Democrat is enrolled in
the naturalization list before August 4th
and thus swell the vote for Cleveland
Thurman and good government.

Addicted to Cocaine.

On the register at the City Prison ap-
pears the name of James Mcdonald.
The charge booked against him is
vagrancy. Mcdonald has history. He
is an educated man and possessed of an
estate worth nearly $4,000. He came
to this city some years agofor his health,
and it was coon discovered that he was a
victim Of the dread cocaine habit. This
habit he acquired in the East while
practicing medicine. 1t grew upon him
to such an extent that at
times he became raving maniac. His
exploits, while under the influence
of this all powerful drug in this city are
well known. On Sunday he took to the
drug and it became necessary to arrest
and detain him, as he was dangerous at
large. The only charge that could be
placed against him was vagrancy. His
friends, it is understood, will take him
East when he is sufficiently recovered to
travel. At the station diamonds and
jewelry valued at over 81, 900 were taken
from Mcdonald and placed in the safe in
the Office.

man, accused of having mulcted one
McNevin at game of cards some time
ago. was called in Judge Taney's Court

counsel. Deputy District Attorney Dun
lap stated to the Court that he had
carefully looked into the case aud had
come to the conclusion that McNevin had
mistaken Davis for the man who robbed
him. He then formally moved the dis
missal OF the case against Davis. The
motion was granted and the defendant
was discharged.

THE WOUNDED GAMBLER.
Sill Living with the Chances
Against Recovery.

The condition of Arad Howe, shot by
gambler Wicks Tuesday afternoon, un-
der circumstances fully detailed in yes
terday's HERALD, remains unchanged.
Early yesterday morning watchers be-
side the wounded mans bed thought
dissolution at hand. Howe rallied,
however, and at late hour last night
was reported resting easily. His
physicians state that it is not
likely symptoms alarming or other
wise will develop for at least eight
days to come. Then they look for a
crisis. Pyamia, or blood poisoning, is
feared, and it is thought the prevalent
warm weather will initiate against the
mans chances of recovery.
Wicks, who shot Howe, occupies
cell in the County Jail. He is calm and
collected and says now that Butch" and
Howe assaulted him when he demanded
his money, and that he shot in self
defense. He was visited yesterday by a
number Of the sporting gentry.
