FILLED WITH SHOT.
Pete Wolfiev Formerly of Tombstone. Probably Fa- tally Shot bv Harry
 Hancock at
 Globe.

Pete Woiiev, a nephew of ex-Gov. Wolfley, who was well known in Tombstone for many years as an sttache of the Bird Cage variety thea ter, was shot and probably latally i'm Jured st Globe last Sunday night. The shooting was done by Harry Hancock, who also has many acquaintances in Tombstone. From .the Silver Belt is condensed the particulars of the shoot ing:
 The men had been drinking. and early in the nIgnt became involved in a wordy wrangle. Meeting in Hen der's saloon the quarrel was renewed, and in the encounter which followed, Wolfiey (who was employed as night watchman and had a permit to carry weapons) struck Hancock on the head with a six-shooter, several times, in flicting three ugly scalp wounds from which the blood flowed freely.
 Inceused by the vicious attack made upon him, Hancock went away and armed himself with double barreled shot gun. It was an half hour or more afterwards (sbout 1 o'clock Monday mornIng) that Han cock returned 10 the main street hunt ing Wolfley, and found him in Starr & Rogers saloon.
 A minute later Hancock entered the front door, made a step forward, raised his gun and fired. The charge missed Wolfley, riddled the stove pipe and entered the side wall about twen- ty-five feet back of Wolhey. After an interval of a few seconds Hancock | fired a second time, the load of shot (No 6 or D taking effect in the right side of Wolfey's face. Wolhey had, in the meantime, drawn his pistol but for some reason was powerless to use it with any effect. Two of his shots entered the bar at his left side, ranging down, and third passed over Han cocks head and went through the glass door about seven feet above the | floor.
 The only person hit besides Wolfiey was an old fellow asleep in the lookout chair, and he received T only slight scalp wound from stray shot.
 Wolfey's injuries proved to be serious. The right side of his face was filled with shot, three entering the eye and probably destroying the sight, although that has not been determined for certain, owing to the swollen con- dition of the face. The right ear was badly lacerated and portion of it shot away. The shooting was done at a distance of not more than 20 feet; ; consequently the shot had great pene- tration, and it is feared that the shot which entered the eye lodged in the head at the base of the brain. Wolf ley's condition is critical, although there is a chance for his recovery if blood poisoning does not supervene.
 Hancock is held, awaiting the result If Wolfey's injury.

THE fear is often expressed that in

THE fear is often expressed that in the event of free coinage of silver, Mexico will flood our country with her silver. Such fear is not well founded. The price of Mexican silver is made by the price of American sil- yer. Mexican dollars are now worth 70 cents. When silver was worth 1.2O per ounce, Mexican dollars were quo ted at 94 cents. When silver is worth 1.29 in this country Mexican dollar will be worth a trifie more in Mexico than is the American dollar, It is plain then that a producer of silver in Mexico would not bring his bullion here to be coined into silver dollars when the hints of Mexico are open to coinage of silver al greater profit to the producer than in this couHtry But the question may be asked, would it not pay the Mexican producers to ship his bullion here, get 1t coined into silver dollars and purchase Am CT ican goods with it? Why of course ii would, and that is just what we want It is the present state of silver in this country which drives the trade of oul sister republic almost entirely te France and Germany. Under free coinage we will capture the trade o the entire country to the isthmus o Panama.
