 Our usually quiet city was thrown into the most intense excitement yesterday by tragedy such as never before 9cs cured here. About o'clock in the. afternoon, passers-by on Third street, near Stafford, observed young man, George Dawes by name, running after a young woman named Petra Edmunds. and firing at her with six. shooter. He fired. three shots, one (which took effect the woman's shoulder, after which he placed the pistol to his temple, pulled the trigger and the ball went through his brain, causing death in few minutes. ~ The cause of the tragedy was jealousy. Young Dawes had been paying attention to Miss Edmunds, but day before yes- terday, it is stated that they quarreled, and this so preyed upon the young mans mind that his reason, never very strong, became dethroned. He had recently come from Casa Grande, earuwhich place he is said to, have some valuable mining claims, and found on his return hat he had been replayed in the afec. tions ofthe goungllady.s dIh At the time of the shooting Miss Edmunds was passing by the residence of the unfortunate young mans father, corner of Third and Stafford, in company with Fred Stone, when young Dawes ran out, of the house. revolver, ip hand, and pointed it at Stone. The. yohng woman screamed and ran across Me street to- wards her own home. T,ls diverted Dawes attention from Stone, who ran up town after an officer. In the meantime Dawes pursued his former sweetheart to her very door, firing as they ran. Only one bullet took serious effect. It entered the back of othe young lady near the shoulder blade, passed through the | rlSnt iuuk anu Out gOt tuC OiCdSI. 1t o'clock this morning Saturday. she wal resting easily, and there are strong hope. of her recovery. r.,i t'r-.4

During the past winter the Gila river has flowed continuously with abundant water, and at the present time large volume fills its banks, doing little or no good in the world. It seems a great pity that these waters are not impounded in huge reservoirs for use in irrigatinng the lands that only reqsire water to be made fertile and productive. A long season of drouth could be easily tided over by such reserve supply and the area of cultivated land could be increased ten fold. A system of reservoirs is essential to the prosperity of the southern country that promises to become the garden oi the world. Florence Enterprise.
