tered the Phoenix Fruit store and buried itself in the wall near where the pro- prietor, Mr. Murdoch, had stood a mo- ment before.
 There is a conflict of testimony concerning what occurred at this point. Some say that Shurbert struck at Price with knife or his hand. Mir. McClintock says he did not, but immediately turned, jumped across the gutter aud ran across the street. The murderer fired at him but missed. The next time he took what seemed to be devilishly deliberate aim and the bullet hit the fleeing man in the left hip. He stumbled but did not fall, and another ball struck him in the lower right leg, breaking both bones. He fell on his face but partially raised him. self on one arm and looked back over hir shoulder appealingly at the mur- derer who was now upon him.
 He made 8 pitiful attempt to crawl away, but Price held the gun almost against his back below the right shoulder blade and fired. There were still two more cartridges in the revolver and the murderer tried to shoot his victim in the back of the head. Shurbert turned his head away and the bullet entered the ground, but the side of his face was burned black by the discharge and his clothing was on fire from the former one.
 All this happened with lightning like suddenness. MT. McClintock seized the murderer's pistol hand and Price turned the weapon and tried to shoot hls captor in the stomach, but the superior strength of the reporter saved him, and he painfully wrenched the murderer's arm in his effort to get the gun. Beside, almost at the same instant, Officer Slankard ran up and seized Price. He drew his revolver and placed the muzzle against the mur derer's side commanded him to ''un hook" Justice Johnstone was alst among those who first seized Price, ant when he had been disarmed he directed
 Officer Slankard to take him to jail.

The Victims Condition.

At 6 o'clock last night it was thought Shurbert would not live until morning. At g o'clock the paralysis which had only affected his lower limbs was creep ing up on his body and he was breath ing from his stomach. Death seemed very near. His condition had not very materially changed at midnight and at 2 o'clock he seemed to be resting some what more easily though he was still in great physical agony. he was con- scious at all times. The physicians say that he may live day or two but that his death within short time is a6so- lutely certain.

The Shooting itself.

The two men met on the sidewalk Tn front of Washington street saloon. Both were talking low but Price was murderously in earnest and Schubert was earnestly apologetic. At last Price was heard to say ''You know you're g-d d-n robber; you stole that money last night and by g"d Pm going to do you. Pm fixed for you this time." City Editor McClintock of the Gazette was passing and was attracted by this part of the conversation. He had stopped by the side of Price and when he made a motion to reach for his gun MT. McClintock attempted to step to the other side to intercept the weapon if it should be drawn. He was too late and the revolver was drawn and almost simultaneously and evidently prematureIy discharged. The ball en-

The Dying Victim.

Schubert groaned in agony and said "I'm done for" but he retained his nerve in a remarkable manner. He was taken up and at the direction of Dr. Walker carried to his office in the Thibido block. During the journey he talked concerning h1s condition but when he was laid on the operating table the collapse came. The face which had been unchanged sud- denly grew gray and Drs. Walker, Hughes and Stroud thought it was death. Later there was revival and it was discovered that his lower limbs were paralyzed. This might have re- suited from shock or from positive in- jury to the spine. His wounds were examined those in the hip and leg have been already described. It was found that the bullet which had en- tered the back had passed diagonally through the body emerging just ln front of the left shoulder having cut through the lungs. The wounded mans condition at this time was SC much better than the doctors expected it to be that they said while death wal imminent, he might live several hours perhaps days and there was one chance ill thousand that he would get we'll.

A Cheap Execution on the TaplS.
 Some one in the crowd yelled "hang himl' and one man drew revolver. Under Sheriff King, who had come up saw the facility with which mob could be formed out of that crowd, drew his revolver and declared that the first man who made hostile de- monstratlon would die In the interest of good order. The fortunate presence of nearly every member of the sheriff s office, all the constables and City Mar shall Molioy, without doubt prevented the lynching of the prisoner. As he was led away he said, ''any man would have done the same thing under the same circumstances"
 After his arrest he was the coolest man among the hundreds who sur. rounded him and betrayed no signs oi either remorse or fear.

ATRUNK'S WANDERING.
It's Owner Obliged to Walt While It
 Makes a Voyage to Liverpool.


 NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-Nearly all the girls of the senior class in Normal Col lege have been deeply interested in the wanderings of 8 trunk belonging to Miss Jennie Whitney, which strayed away on Septembe 8 last. Miss Whit ney had returned from her summer va- cation in time to resume here studies when college opened, September 10.
 She came from Fall River on the Puritan and upon arriving in the city gave her trunk check to the agent ot the New York Transfer company. In stead of the trunk being delivered at her residence, No. 26 Seventh avenue, by some mistake It was taken to the Cunard Line pier and put aboard the Lucania, thus enjoying the quickest trip both ways on record.
 It returned Saturday morning with out being damaged, although Miss Whitney was put to much inconvenl- ence without her trunk at the opening of the college year. She was informed by the transfer company that, fl it were necessary for her to purchase anything, to do SO and bring her receipted bills, when the money would be refunded. Miss Whitney was compelled 10 spend over SEQ. and the New York Transfer company will make it good to her.

MT. P. Minor went to bring her in a carriage. She had gathered strength and insisted on walking, and did walk bravely up the stairs and along the hall way until she caught sight of her bus bands feet. She sank back in a faint and was caught in MT. Minors arms. Her grief was great, but not demonstra- tive. She seemed to be stunned by the suddenness of it.
 The physicians having deter mined that death would not be immediate, it was decided to move the wounded man to the residence of his wife's uncle, Red mond Toohev, at the corner of Second and Jackson streets, their ho ne, a couple of blocks below, being small and inconvenient.

What the Law Has Done.
 Soon after Price had been lodged in iail Justice Klncaid issued warrant for his arrest for assault with intent to commit murder. No other action will likely be taken on it though until Shur- bert dies.
 Shortly after the shooting District Attorney Williams asked the wounded man if he wished to make statement. He replled that he did not as he might get we'll and beside he did not wish to prosecute Price. The district attorney did not press the matter any further sirce an ante-mortem statement is value less unless the victim is in fear of death, but he told him that if he desir- ed to say anything to him at any time to send for him. At o'clock Shur- bert sent and made statement which has been legally signed and sealed. It is said that it is substantial lv the same as has been relate d above. Guarding Against Too Swift Justice.
 There were rumors and threats all afternoon of lynching the prisoner. Many of the threats were made by the better class of citizens who were moved not only by the cruelty of this murder. but bv wish to discourage a growing murderous tendency in this community The iail officials were determined that their prisoner should live to be tried 1T a regularly constituted court and ac cordingly the usual guard at the jail wat doubled. There was no apprehension
 that an assault would be made on tht
 iail until Shurbert died. so they kept
 themselves informed of his condition all night. and deputy paced back ane
 forth across the court house entrance There was no demonstration durinI the night by indignant citizens, thougl leader could easily have found willin followers.

A more cowardly murder (for though the victim was still alive at an early hour this morning, his certain death is a matter of enly a few short hours) never blackened the criminal record ot Phoenix than the shooting yesterday of W. F. Shurbert by Vim. E. Price. The utter wantonness of it was slckenlng and appalling. Whatever provocation may have existed passed into nothing ness in comparison with the tendish cruelty of the murderer. The killing occurred in the heart of the city within view of several score of men and within reach of half dozen persons.

A Sunday Night Poker Game.

"A SunQdy lNlSnL TONST
 A jack pot in game of poker at the the o. K. saloon on Sunday even ing contained apparently three or four dollars. If the players had examined the pot more closely they might have seen more. They would have seen that one of the players had anteed his life, to be surrendered the next day, and that the other had met the ante with his life, to be delivered by the hangman some months hence. But they didn't see this and they went on playing. The players were Shurbert and Price. At one point in the game, which was to be decisive as to the possession of the pot, Price said he had 'queens up," two pair. Shurbert said he had flush and threw down his cards and prepared to to take the pot. Price managed to e1- anime the discarded hand and discover ed that the colors did not blend. There were four diamonds and club. Here monstrated but Shurb bert reached across the table and took not only the pot, but his opponents chips and every thing else in sight. A fight was the consequence of a move ef this sort in a poker game. Price being the smaller man was worsted, beaten and humiliat- ed.
 It is said that Shurbert afterward left the money with the proprietor who turned it over to Price yesterday morn ing.
 Both went away but Price return ed later in the evening, armed. The
 proprietor of the saloon tried to get bi: ; gun away from him. Yesterday morn
 ing he returned early but said little abou the trouble of the the night before. |

The Murderer's Sweet Sleep.


 The coolness displayed by the mur- derer was continued throughout the afternoon and evening. He apparently took little interest in the result of shurbert's condition land swas equally apathetic concerning his own. He said little about the tragedy but what little he said was in justification of his deed. His mind continually ran back to the wind up of that poker game on Sunday night. the loss Of the jack pot, his beating and humiliation, and he overlooked the subsequent bloody and exciting incidents. At length he lay down and slept as sweet ly as any other inmate of the jail as Ii there were no outraged citizens likely to break in in the night, and ii they did not, as if no moose was dangling over him.
