THE Star favors county division of Pima county in the following words "If southern Pima wants new coun. ty and the inhabitants thereof can stand the expense, let them have the county, and if they should be given this responsibility by the Legislature their first aim should be to prevent the politicians from getting control of the county"

THE only way tor the whites of Ar zona to get appropriations for irrigat- ing experiments is to get out on the war path and "whoop 'em up." Uncle Sam has degenerated to that extent that he turns deaf ear to the silent majority and turns the other one to the ruler of Hades.

 Because they have no fun; They cannot go a.fishing, nor
 A-sheoting with a gun. They cant climb trees nor fly kite, Play shinny or baseball; In fact, it seems to mo, girl
 Can have no fun at all. And when the girls grow up, why then They still have lots O. woeses, For if they love man, they've got To wait till he proposes" "I would not be boy" said May,
 "Fer boys are nasty things, Pockets filled with hooks and knives, And nails and tops and strings. And when a boy becomes man
 He's got to buy us rings, And all we have to do is smile
 For everything he brings. And when upon girl, youth
 Has squandered all his money, And she then smiles on someone else,
 Perhaps he don't feel funny!"

her with knife.
The policeman placed Carson under arrest,
and handed him over to a brother officer. An
ambulance was called and Mrs. Carson was
removed to the City Hospital
City Physician Gray had attended the suf-
ferer In the mean time. and sewed up the
frightful wound In her throat, but Mrs Carson
died on the way to the hospital and the body
was taken TO Speer's Morgue.
MIRA kerrigan was locked up, and then a
search was made for her husband. Capt.
Farrler said this morning that he nai no trace
OF him as yet. but added that from what he had
learned he did not think Kerrigan was in the
room when the tragedy occurred.
The puzzling features of the affair are these I:
IL Carson killed his wife, why should he per-

nocent, why uid he run away?
The doctors Ray 1t was a knife which opened
the fatal cash In Mrs. Carsons throat. The
police have not found any knife as yet, and If
1t was Carson's knife ne would be likely to
have II with him, or 1t would be in the room.
kerrigans children are In the keeping of
Overseer Of the Poor John Hewitt and 1t Ia
likely they will become charges on the county

Capt. Farmer hopes to capture Kerrigan he-

as witness. Perhaps when caught Kerrlgan
may not so easily explain his hurried departure

Who MURDERED MRS. CARSON
Her Husband Is Locked Up by
the Jersey City Police.

Another murder In Jersey City is enRrosBing
the attention OF the police across the river.
Capt Farrier, OF the First Precinct, said this
morning TO au EVENING WORLD reporter that
he believed he bad secured evidence suiflcient
to convict the guilty man. He has IN custody
william Cashel. better known as Carson, who
was formally charged before Justice o'Donneli
In the police court this morning with the muir
der Of his wife. Bridget
Mrs. Mary Kerrigan. sister Of the murdered
also present as q witness. The pair were re-
manded for examination tomorrow.
The tragedy occurred at 3. 30 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon IN the homo of the Carsons, on
tae top moor Of the iour-story tenement-house,
16l Steuben street
The tenement house Is known to the police as
"Buschmans Flats, ~ and It has long had q
reputation for growls among Its inmates.
Tue Carsons have lived there for nearly a
year. during which period the husband, who
Is q 'longshoreman when he works, got to be
known as quarre!some fellow, addicted to
beating his wife when IN his cups.
Last Saturday Kerngan and his wife aud TWO
children arrived at the Carsons' tenement, with
the Intention OF spending couple OF weeks.
The Kerrlgans live al Sufferrs, EocRlanh
County, n. y, where Kerngan Is employed
as laborer. Carson was inebriated wnen the
Kerri2ans reached his house, and made no
secret OF his dislike OF the Invasion.
Several tin buckets full OF beer were, how
ever, consumed by the party, and this seemed
TO wash away his amin osity, and tho two tami-
lies seemed TO settle down to u continued de-
bauch. Great progress was made in the beer
drinking line, with semi occasional variation ns
in the way OF boisierous language.
The climax came shortly after 8 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. Terrifying shrleks OF
"murderl" In the Carson apartments reused
the letnArRic tenants on the lower moor.
Patrick Dwyer, younI labnring man living
with his mother on the Moor just beneath the
Carson tenement was standing In the hallway
on the front door when Carson staggered down
stairs, blood pouring In Streams from fearful
cash In his head.
"My wlie's throat is cut" said Carson to
Dwyer, "and want you to go to the station
hoUse with me-"
Dwyer replied, ~ don't want to 20 with
you, Bill. because don't want 10 get mixed
up In any row."
Policeman Tom Kelly was on tho opposite
side OF the streer, and has,ened across lie
went upstairs to the top door, and found Mira
Carson lying on the moor with q great Rash on
the LEFT side OF her throat extending from
under the chin TO the lsft ear.
She was rapidly lapslug into unconscious
meas, aud could scarcely speak,
Stretched out In drunken siupor alongside
Ars. Carson lay her sister. Mrs. Kerrigan.

COL. JONES In LUCK.

He Captures Genuine Porpoise
Snake. Such as Few Other Col
onels Have Seen.
Col. j. B. Jones was fishing on the
banks of Redfoot Creek. Tenn. says the
Globe Democrat, having left his boat to es-
cape the hot sun. and had hardly thrown
his line out into the water, when he saw
dark object rapidly approaching the
surface.
At first the genial Colonel thought it an
alligator of unusual size. but on closer OBJ
servation discovered it to be an enormous
creeping serpent.
When this huge monster was within O
few yards of him Col. Jones gathered
some stones about the size of goose eggs
ana struck it several times in succession,
and, strange to say, the blows did not ap-
pear to worry his snakeship TO any great
degree, rs 1t never once left the sur ace
of the water, but continued unconc, n
edly at a slow pace upstream.
Col. Jones Immediately seized his rod
and line and scampered hastily to his
boat. 1t was only question of q few
minutes before he was in midwater aud
In hot pursuit of the object. which was
soon overtaken. When within close
proximity he noticed the huge reptile
seemed to be blind and apparently harm
lesh.
Fearing an attack, however. Col. Jones
seized his rife and, taking aim at his
head, fred. The bullet lodged in the
collar bone and broke its neck. There
was slight movement of the tall. little
slashinR of water. and all was over, the
monster floating down stream.
Curious to learn the species of this Pc
culiar reptile, Col. Jones made q lasso
from stout rope which he had in the
boat and threw It around its body, thus
enabling him to tow it ashore.
A critical examination developed the
fact that he had captured monster snake
never before seen in this part of the
country. II lad a head resembling A
long, funnel-shaped horn, the body be-
ing similar TO small kegs Joined together.
What made it more queer, eachkeg
seemed TO have o bunghole or outlet.

sides and some on the top. Hauling the
tail on the bank, which was by no means
