ATTEMPT TO MURDER.
Charles Yates Bhot and serisasiy Wsnndsd by A. K. Dieksy. Ia the
 Bradshaw Mountains.
Dispute Over .. Mining Claim the
 Cause of the Dsea.

A messenger arrived in Prescott about midnight on Saturday night,
 bringing the intelligence that Charles Yates had been shot and probably fatally wounded by A. R. Dickey, in the Bradshaw mountains, on Saturday afternoon. Justice H. T. Andrews was awakened and . complaint was sworn to before him, when a warrant was issued and placed in the hands of Deputies Ben Rybon and Gale Davis, who st once left to make the arrest. But few particulars of the tragedy were learned, but it appears that Yates was doing the assessment work on . mining claim, and that Dickey claimed to own the property. Yates was shot two times, through the shoulder and arm.
 Sam Hill and Joseph Phillips claim some mining property in the Bradshaw mountains, that Dickey also lays claim to. The former sc- q uired his title to the claims from 5. c. Mott, while Phillips purchased his interest from man named Wright. It is alleged that short time since, Dickey sent word to both of them that if they attempted to do the assessment work on his claim, he would "do them up," or words of a similar import.
 The story of the shooting ss told by the McKinnon brothers, who brought the word in, is substantial ly as follows: The claim on which Yates was working is about 500 yards from their cabin. Yates stated that he was working in his tunnel, when his dog commenced to bark; he walked out, and saw Dickey's dog; in s short time Dicksy came up, called Yates add son of b., and ordered him of the claim. Yates says he refused to go, when Dickey drew a revolver and fired. Yates stated that he thought he grappled with his asssilant, who' shot him two or three times through the shoulder; that his memory was confused and when he came to his senses he was lying about half way between the mouth of his tunnel and the McKinnon place. After the shooting, Dickey appeared at Ed. Gobin's place, called for his mail. and stated that he had emp tied his revolver at Yates, and left him lying with his head down hill. Dickey also said that he was coming to Prescott to give himself up.
 D. F. Mitchell accompanied Dr. Dritcher out to attend to the wounded man. A few years ago Dickey was charged with assaulting a man, although . warrant was is sued for his arrest, it was never served.
 Dr. Ducher returned at noon to- day from dressing Yates wounds, and says that they are not necessa- rily fatal unless blood poisoning should set in. He was shot twice through the shoulder. He will be brought to Prescott.
 Dickey arrived in town about noon to-day, and surrendered him. self to the sheriff.

 SRecsss until 2 o'clock.
 Argument in the May murder case closed last evening and the case was given to the jury. During the argument by counsel last night . sensational scene was enacted by w. G. Stewart one of the attorneys for the defense. The line of defsnse was self defense, and as West, at the time he was shot by May, was in his shirt sleeves, the prosecution took the grounds that it was impossible for him to have had a gun on him without being noticed. Mir. Stewart during his argument asked the jury to excuse him for a few minutes, when he went into an ad- joining room and in a minute or 90 returned in his shirt sleeves. Calling the attention of the jury to his harmless looking condition and to the fact that there was nothing in his appearance to indicate that he was . walking arsenal, he drew forth a murderous looking 45-cali- bre revolver from one pocket and then drew another from another pocket and two more from some other place of concealment about his clothes. His action caused burst of applause from the audi ence, but was quickly hushed :by the court. The jury is still out.

fn Lowell. Mass., agree in saying that they cell more of Hoods sarssparilla than of sii other blood purifiers. For instance:
 F.C. GoopALK: sell more of Hocd's Sa-ar parilla than all other blood psrinen.
 A. W. Do ss & Co.,: Hoods takes the led of all ether sarsspsriilax
 c.F. BLANCHARD: We sell moro of Hoods sarssparilla than of any similar.
 MARsroS & SHAW: With Hs the sale sf Hoods is to of any other kind
 r. E. BAILsY Co: Hood's sansparfih ia one of the best medicines.
 CARLTON & HovEY: Hoods sarssparilla is one of tho best medicines we have. It's sa1s tncreases every year.
 F. P. MooDy: We sell twice as much e Hoods sarsapsrills ss of anything simiIss.
 c. A. SWAN; Hoods is the most popalsR sarszpsrjlla of the day.
