SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
A Dastard1y Attemp to Kill Capt
 Swst at Clifton.

] Last Friday Capt. Swett. general
 manager of the Copper King Miang company, discovered that a quantity of ! powder and fuse had been stolen from the cOmpany's depository at the shelter. A search for the stolen property was re- warded by finding it in an uniuhabited caoin on the mountain not far from where 1t was stolen. After packing the powder on his horse the captain started upon his return to the smelter on foot. leadiog the horse. He had not proceed ed far down the trail when he was shot from the brush by some unknown party. A man with less nerTe would have left horse, pack and everything and took to his heels, but not SO with the captain. The bulky nature of the pack made it impossible to mount immediately, but nothing daunted be at once proceeded to unpack, after which he mounted and rode to Clifton.
 Dr. Lacy examined and dressed the wound and the captain at once started with Deputy Sheriff Hart, James Smith and Indian Slayer Montgomery 10 the scene of the scene of the attempted murder. The wound while not serious. came very near proving a fatal one, the bullet striking on the side of the neck, blowing it's way through the flesh to the depth of the ball and barely missing the cartoId artery.
 The officers found moccasin tracks made by one man where the shooting occurred, but owing to the rocky and rough nature of the surrounding coun- try 1t was impossible to follow the trail but short distance. Deputy sheriff Hart used the utmost diligence to ap- prehend the cowardly would be assassin and offered one hundred dollars for even clew to work upon, but no dis coverles have yet been made in that direction.
 Various theories have been advanced as to who the guilty person is but no. tEing certain Is known concerning this dastardly and cOwardly attempt to mur- der an old inoffensive gentleman who has not an enemy in the world.
 True 1t is that the compaty represent ed by Capt. Swett las been unable to meet all of its financial obligations late ly but no one either interested or dIs- interested planes Capt Swett for that. hence the question is who was the would be assassin and what motive could have prompted the unwarranted and unprcvOked attempt to commit murder? It Is contended by some that it was the work of a stragglings pache. Some color was given to that belief by a man from the Blue reporting that Indians had killed COW near Hinkleys ranch and also steer near where Nat Whis- tam was killed by Indians in April. 1891.

MORALES is promised with boom CD the settlement of the land grant claim by which property titles have long been overshadowed. The claim it appears is of the most spurious kind. and because of that will not be defended by the claimants, but the citizens of the town will take 1t into court and get judge ment against it. This claim has as much justice in it as has many others of like pretentions, although it will not be de tended and some of the latter will. We hope however. justice will in ali cases be done and this eternal nig-gagging settlers be brought to an end.

THE SENATE SILVER BILL.

There are two provisions ID the sen ate silver bill, either of which would
 prove fatal to any action by he House which does not return the bill to the Senate. First. Is the unconditional re- peal of the act of 1890, which makes notes issued under that act in payment of silver legal tender. Second Is the requirement. that the silver TOW in the treasury be coined. The effect of the latter provision is to employ the mints already in the hands of the government for the next two or three years. Mean time what will become Of the current production of silver? The repeal of the act of 1890 will stop government pur
 chases, and the employment of the hints coming silver now in the treasury will close them to the silver that is being pro- duced meantime. An Eng iish bimetal- list recently said that the cessation of silver purchases by the United States would cause silver to fall lower than its lowest record. But this opinion was ex- pressed in the belief that if the United States should cease to purchase silver bullion its hints would coin its cur
 rent product. The so-called friends of silver have added to the perplexities of the situation by closing the hints against the current silver product. The 4,500,- 900 ouuces that have found a market monthly by the act of 1890 will, should the Senate bill become law, be thrown upon the worlds market. It is probable, however, that the House will amend the senate bill so as 10 continue the legal tender quality to treasury notes issued in purchase of silver and to leave the silver

HOME PROSPERITY

In referring to The matter ot home patronage there Is nJ spirit Of coercion used to abreviate th- great righs of free don given to any American citizen, but there Is d spirit of duty becoming upon all living ID community; who own real estate in q community; who make liv- ing in a community; who run for pulitl- cal offices to eDdeavor to aid and aG- vance tte interest of the c mmOnwealth in which they reside. To accomplish this an endeavor should be made to keep money cIrculatir 2 within the con- munity. To accomplish this satisfactor- lily it is becoming ou the mercantile ln- terests of the city to combine to fight the insiduous foe which 10 nothing mere nor less than catalogues brought in the territory by the ton and bearing cheap promises on their face but never complied with. To make their prices known and to conspicuously battle for their own trade is fitting duty of the home merchant. Success is accomplish ed by effort, and nothing 50 successful as individual and united effort.
