that he wished to be relieved and thai
another cook be engaged to take his
place, saying that if he continued cook
ing there was likely to be trouble be
tween him and that old s-n of b-h,
and that he did not want any trouble
with him. Thomas requested Magee tc
continue cooking until the roundup got
to the mountains. 1t appears that al
this time Magee was standing at the
mess-5ox washing dishes, and that
Thomas was standing a few feet to his
left. During this interview between
Thomas and Magee, it seems that Jen-
kins overheard it, and going few feet
to where the saddle and pistol of Jim
Scott lay, picked the pistol up and APP
preaching Magee from herear, with the
pistol thrown down on him, exclaimed,
that he would not be called an old s-n
of b-h, and that he would kill him

Jenkins within a few feet of him, and
with the pistol pointing directly at him,
exclaimed: "Stop! Don't! Don'tw at
the same time jumping to the side of the
mess box and getting his pistol, began
firing, which resulted in Thomas being
shot through the right leg, and Jenkins
through the right elbow and in the side.
In the excitement, Magee's pistol went
off shortly after his grabbing it from the
mess box, and before raising it up, and
it is this shot which IS thought to have
struck Thomas, who was standing few
feet to his left. SCOTS pistol, which
jenkins had, it is said would not work,
and that Jenkins was pulling upon it at
half-cock, otherwise Magee would have
been killed.
DIR. Daily was sent for Immediately
after the shooting, and on his arrival at
Springerville, found both the wounded
men had been brought over from the
Coyote, where the shooting took place.
Jenkins wounds were found to be fatal,
and the bones of Thomas leg seriously
shattered from the knee nearly to the
ankle, necessitating amputation, which
was pc formed by Dr.. Daily Sn his ar
rival at Springerville.
Jenkins died from his wounds Satur-
day at noon, and Thomas was brought
to st. Johns by DR.. Daily, the morning
after the operation, where he arrived
saturday night, gith the patient doing
we'll.
Magee had an examination last Mon
day before Luther Martin, Justice of the
Peace, at Springerville. The evidence
of some ten or twelve witnesses, who
were on the ground at the time of the
shooting, made such strong case OF
that the District Attorney,
advised the Judge to acquit. which was
done and Magee released.

A few moments after the shooting
which occurred at the Coyote on Friday
morning last, between Mag and Jen-
kins, &. 5. Van Regain saddled his horse
TO come to st. Johns for Dr. Daily, at
the request of Robert Thomas, who had
been accidentally shot in the right leg
just below the knee, during the shoot
ing which took place between the above
named men. Mr.. Van Regain rode from
Coyote to st. Johns, distance of forty
two miles in just two and half hours,
leaving Coyote at SIX A. VI. and arriving
at St. Johns at $3.50 A. NJ. Without a
change of horses, this is the best riding
with which we have b EN- made acquaint-
ed. This feat reflects great credit upon
Mr.. Van Regain, considering that dis
lance of 70 miles had to be travelled in
order to get the doctor to the bedside of
the patient, and that DR. Daily arrived
in Springervills in tins to amputate the
shattered leg of Mr.. Thomas within ten
hours after the occurrence OF the unfor-
tunste accident.

THE TRADE REVIEW.
Markets Generally Duller for the Week.
Although Confidence Prevails.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: Reports of
the condition of business note confident
feeling as to the future, but many causes
in different sections produce slackening

in portions of the south aid collections
not above par, while failures in some
southern districts are many. Memphis
reports so per cent more than last year.
Open and mild weather in the northwest
causes uneasiness in some trades, particu-
larly in clothing and boots and shoes at
Kansas City and Milwaukee, and lack of

The money markets are nowhere dis

THETARIFF BILL.
Senator Plumb Says Adjournment Yester
day Had no Bearing on the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Upon the motion
to adjourn senate from yesterday until
Monday several Republican members vot-
ed with the Democratic party and thus
formed an affirmative majority on their
position. In view of the protest made
against the adoption of the motion of
members of the finance committee in
charge of the tariff bill, the vote has been
held by some to be significant regarding
that measure before the senate and some
concern has been expressed by friends Of
the bill.
To an Associated Press reporter today,
Senator Plumb, who was one of those who
voted for adjournment, said the vote had
no such significance and could not be SO
construed when the facts were known.
The proposition came originally from the
Republican side and arose from a desire
80 accommodate the convenience of several
senator's / WAS one of them. Under q
Burden of correspondence and in
order to confer in company
with several gentlemen with
q department official upon question of
great Importance to my state, desire az
adjournment. There was and Is, so far as
know, no opposition upon the part of any
Republican senator to the passage of the
bill. am probably as much in favor Of
thorough tariff revision rs any one on our
side of the chamber. There never has
been the slightest difference between
Messrs. Allison and Aldrich, who are in
charge of the bill, and myself concerning
the necessity for its passage, and l believe
every Republican senator on the floor is in
harmony with this position.

IOWA EVIOTIONS.
The Threate ned Resistance From the Set
tiers

FORT DODGE, Ia, Dec. 7.-Following
close upon the excitement occasioned by
the news that congress had passed bill
favoring the river land settlers, Richard
SHELLS return from Kansas City and the
announcement that he would remain
in Fort Dodge until final settlement
was made in every settlers case,
created further sensation. During
the week just ended not a single writ of
eviction had been served, and the remain
ing settlers had begun to congratulate
themselves that they would be allowed to
occupy their homes all winter. The prin-
cipal reason for this inactivity was the ap-
pearance of a cold snap, which would
necessarily make the eviction process too
inhuman TO be desired by the land owners
or countenanced by local authorities.
Mr.. Smell, too, was absent, and Mar
shall Fore had returned to Des
Moinas. Marshal Holbrook was
busy at court at Dubuque. All these
facts tended to make the Thanksgiving
feast of the unevicted river-lander much
more significant occasion than 1t would
otherwise have been: and the average set
tier, while returning thanks for past
favorS, earnestly sent up a request for
continuance of the same. His prayers
were not answered, however, and the coin
cident return of Mr.. Smell and California
weather makes things again assume a
more dubious aspect.
Mr.. Smell treats lightly the passage of
the bill by congress, and confidently as
serts that il Will be vetoed by President
Cleveland He says the River Land COM
pany Will accord the bill no attention, and
the only effect will be that the settle
ments viii be made more difficult.
The remaining writs of election on
SHELLS lands will be placed in the hands
OF United States Marshal Holbrook at
once for immediate execution. The pledge
to resist further elections at the point of
death. made by members of the Settlers
union at a secret meeting held Sun
day. will now be fully tested. This
pledge was the result of indig-
nation at the fate of Nathan Barber. a
member of the settlers union, whose death
was oceasioned by exposure attendant
upon ejectment fsom his home. This feel
ing of resistance was augmented today by
the news of congressional action. and any
immediate eviction, it is feared, will pre-
cipitate climax.
