NEVER AW0KE. Death at the Hospital of
 Frank Ferguson From a Too Persistent Morphine Treatment. The Awful Termination of a Debauch of Several Days. The Drug Was Administered to Him by Woman Who Was Her.
 self Fiend.

Frank Ferguson died at the county hospital yesterday after period of nearly orty-eight hours unconscious ness, the sequel of debauch.
 Ferguson was brought down from Wickenberg on Sunday night by Elmer Tompkinson. Justice Kincaid yester. dry afternoon impaneled 8 coroner E jury consisting of W. s. Varnum, s. Y. Barkley. s. s. Gish, W. H. Smith, John Isaacs, G. W. Mauk and w. L. Coon. The body was viewed at the hospital and brought up to Randall X Davis, whence it will be buried at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
 The inquest was adjourned to await the arrival of witnesses living at Wick enberg. There is suspicion that the poison was administered by other hands than his own, though it may not have been given with murderous in. tent.
 A letter was brought down from Wickenberg to the county physician by MT. Tompkinson. It stated that on Saturday morning Ferguson was given hvpodermic injection of morphine. A short time afterward he received an other injection; later he was given two and one.h half grains internally. He took another dose, how much could not be ascertained, but i much that it was missed from the tile. The writer closed by saying Gi4N Ferguson's con. dition was due to too much whisky and association with the wrong kind oI women.
 Mr. Tompkinson said that few days ago Ferguson met at Wiexenberg g couple of prostitutes from Phoenix One of them was a morphine feno liberally supplied with the drug. It is not definitely known who these womer are. One is known at Wickenberg 8: "Moll1e" and the other is supposed te be Jennie Rogers. Both will probably be arrested and held until the case hat been thoroughly investigated.
 The women had been taken iron Phoenix by two men who went on tt Congress. When Ferguson fell in witt them there was another man called "Frenchy" in the party, They made tour of the mining camps in the vi cinity and returned to Wickenberg ant they threatened the camp with whisky famine. On Saturday morninI Ferguson was knocked out and tn morphine iend in order to restore hi capacity and appetite for liquor, begal treating him with her 'gun." Tn treatment lasted about twelve hour and the sick man had long since sunl into deep sleep. forever forgetful 0 all pain.
 Ferguson was 37 years old with n relatives in the territory and so far a known, none anywhere else. He hal lived in the territory several years an was freighter by occupation. Sine last fall he had been in the employ c P. H. Coyle, from whom he afterwar proposed to purchase the outfit. Mi Coyle refused to sell it to him on tim but let him take it telling him that h would give him chance to earn none to pay for it.

KOVALEV ARRAIGNED.

His Examination Set for Tomorrow
Morning at 10 O'Clock.
Ivan KOvalev, the Russian ex-convict
charged with being one of the murderers
of Z. II. L. Weber and his wife in this
city last December, was arraigned in
Justice Henry's court on Saturday and
his examination set for tomorrow.
After Justice Henry read the complaint
he asked Kovalev if he understood the
English language. The Russian replied
that he did not. 1t was found necessary
tc get an interpreter to inform Kovalev
of the true nature Of the proceedings and
OF his rights. After the interpreter had
been procured the defendant was asked if
he was ready for his examination. He
replied that he was, and when asked if
he had any witnesses that he wanted TO
appear at the examination, he said he
knew of none he could depend upon.
He said he did not want any any way, be-
cause he was not guilty OF the crime of
which he was charged.
Justice Henry then set kovalev's eX-
animation for Tuesday morning at 10
O'Clock and remanded him 10 the custody
OF Sheriff Johnson.

Lawyers C. II. Oatman, \. NJ. Seymour,
J. Frank Brown, X. VI. Clarken and
w. P. Harlow, composing the committee
appointed by the Bar Association to in
yestigate the alleged unprofessional con-
duct OF Lawyer Il. f. Wharton, also the
matter of his treatment OF his wife. con-
cerning which there have been stories
afoat. held meeting on Saturday.
The committee found that Wharton had
obtained his wife's signature to deed by
fraud and on the same day he transferred
the property TO his mother.
1t has been found by the committee
that a woman named Hoxie had been di-
yorced and had since married again.
although her husband had not been
sarved with the necessary papers. y
similar case is said TO be that of a couple
named Kaymeyer, one of whom has also
married again.
Mrs. Wharton denies that papers were
served on her. as alleged by Wharton, in
their pending divorce suit.
The committee of the Bar Association
has therefore appointed subcommittee,

NO SHOOTING ALLOWED
On the Principal streets on the Fourt
Of IIIlx

of July.
Chief of Police Drew announces that on
Fourth or July no shooting OF pistols.
bombs or firecrackers will be per mitted
on the principal streets of the city, and
that all who violate the prohibition will
be arrested.
This will be welcome news to those
who assemble to witness the parade, as
the ''smarty" whose delight is to get up
close to a woman or girl and bang away
with a revolver five or six times IN order
to make her jump, has always been an
inexcusable nuisance, and has always
been allowed full swing. So, too, the
throw bomb under the feet or in front
OF horse and endanger the lives of the
people by runaway.
Not a Fourth of July has passed for
years that some Woman's dress has not
been set on fire and ruined by the boy
who throws tirecrackers into the crowd,
and the practice should have been put a
stop TO years ago.
Another nuisance that should be pro-
hiUited Is the practice of getting ready
for the Fourth two or three weeks in adj
vance by shooting pistols and crackers
on the streets at all hours of the day aud
night. The police get so used TO it that a
dozen shooting scrapes. day might take
place and the shooters escape, it being
supposed that it was ouly blank cart
ridges or bonn bs, and it affords burglars
an excellent chance to blow up safes
without detection.

a Delightful Time Promised for To-
Morrow Evening.
The demand for tickets for the moon
light excursion of Sunset Parlor, Native
Sons. to the mouth of Feather River to-
morrow night is such as to warrant the
belief that it will be a largely attended
and successful one.
The steamer and barge are in first-class
order for the trip, and will be under
the command of experienced steam boat
officials The moon will be just rig ht,
there will be the best of dance and con-
cert music. and the strictest order will be
preserved.
Nothing can be more delightful than a
moonlight excursion on the river at this
season OF the year, as the river is yet high
and the night effects along the stream are
simply charming.
The boat will leave the Pioneer Mill
wharf at 7:30 o'clock in the evening, and
all that intend going should be there on
time. The Central Electric Railway
Company will have cars at the depot on
the return OF the boat to take the excur-
sionists to their homes.
