their way home, when they got into a
scuffle. Robert Dyce, the night Waterman.

Dyce supposing it to be tramp assaulting
a man, knocked Fischer down and then
struck and kicked him about the head.
Others say that there is bad feeling be-
tween the two men and that when Dyce at
tempted to stop the row Fischer pitched
into him and then got the worst of the con-
test. Dyce was now the one whom 1t was
hard to stop, but he finally left Fischer
lying upon the ground, taking the advice
of George Thomas, who ran out and
warned him that he had better leave him
unless he wished to kill him. Fischer was
carried into a neighboring house and DR..
Knapp was called to dress the wounds.
The wounds were bad ones and for time
the neighbors thought they would prove
fatal. A warrant was issued at once for
the arrest of Dyce, but it was not served
until this forenoon. The examination takes
place today in Justice Baldwin's court.
Dyce, while ordinarily not bad fellow,
is said to have been unfortunately mixed

Robert Lincoln says: 1.-The republican
party has never been at II loss for candi-
dates for the great Office. 1t now has plenty
to select from, with reasonable assurance
that the man named will win. Every in
fluential state has one or more men equal to
the great responsibility. New York will
present Gov. Morton, statesman of i'm
proved quality. Maine has always man
of influence in national councils far over
shadowing the electoral value of the state.
Protection and Mckinley are closely as
ISOLATED, and conservative craftsmanship is
the strong characteristic of both Harrison
and Allison. The material is abundant.
OF issues the collective wisdom Of the
Republican party has always evolved plat
forms which stood for everything progressive
and enlightened in public policy. We will
be in the thick of the fight year hence,
but would not like to guess the candidate
at this distance"

Ray, the four-year-old son of Philip Al
combrack, was run over, Wednesday after
noon and died within an hour from his
injuries. The boy had been riding on the
seat of the Casket Works dray with his
father and, while his father was in the d.

from the hish seat striking in front of the
wheels. The fall startled the team which
started up and drew the wheel over the boy.
The child was taken home and physicians
called, but they could do nothing to save
him. 1t is a sad loss and the family who
are overcome with sorrow have the SYM
of the community. The funeral will be
held today aud the body taken to North
New burg for burial. Mr.. and Mrs. AlcOm-
brack have lived in Owosso several years,
having moved here from North Newburg.

father and had become quite favorite with
the clerks in the Office at the Casket factory.

kindergarten Established.

The Owosso Kindergarten Association is
the name of new organization which was
perfected Monday and one which has been
under consideration for some time by the
Current Topic Club. The association is
Offered as follows: Mrs. w. X. Tillotson,
Pres; Mrs. N. McBain, Vice-Pres.; Miss
Nettie Matlock, Sec.; Mrs. G. ID. Stewart,
Treas. The directors include besides the
officers Mesdames M. Osburn, A. Todd, A.
e. Stever, c.. S. Williams and E. w. Wood
ward.
The financial plan Of the association pro-
vides for the support of the school by small
annual contributions from the members and
thus making the tuition free. AS the associ-
alton started i'm with membership of forty
five, this plan would not be practicable this
year and tuition fee of S1.50 per month
will be made. twenty-five pupils have al
ready been secured. The payment of 81 for
the support of the school will entitle per-
son to membership in the association. The
place of holding the kindergarten will prob
ably be the school room of the Congrega-
tional church. The conductor will be Miss
Mary Henderson, who is admirably qualified
for the position as she has attended the Chi
cago training school and has also had several
years experience in similar schools. Alto
gether the prospects for the success of the
enterprise seem very bright.

Corn Fed cattI..v

A dealer in Arizona cattle was found bargaining with hotel man for the days supply. He had heard of no raise and no cause for any. If such is made," he said "it will result in stopping large shipments of cattle to Denver. Large consignmentsa are sent through here to the East, and are fed at the stockyards in this city. If the men in charge can dispose of the en- tire bunch in this city, they go no further. The raising of the price Of beef from the East would result in the stoppage of many of these cattle in this city, and would create good market here, for people would get over the idea that cattle must be shipped to Kansas City and killed and then returned here for sale. They buy Eastern cattle because they are corn fed. How are they corn fed? West crn range cattle are killed and hung up in the sweat room and beached. This takes out the color of the range COW and makes corn fed beef. Rocky Mountain News

 W. A. lIartt las received at Calaba- sas d carload of machinery for his mines at Orc Blanco.
 Charles Mansfield, the architect who designed the Episcopal church at Tue son, is reported in jail at Hollister California. for shooting man. The latter is in the hospital.
 The Star Of Wednesday says Sheriff Leatherwood yesterday telegraphed from Crittenden that Constable Jas Speedy had arrested Harry Barnett, the man who shot W. R. Sp-echer, and had taken him to Nogales before he had arrived at Crittenden.' There are no tics on Speedy, and he is as swift as his name implies.
 At Tucson, Friday of last week Foo Sam who was nn trial for being illegal ly in this country was discharged by the district court and allowed to re- turn to his home in Magdalena, So- nora. This was the case to which allusion was made in TIE OASIS last week. The man was up from Magda- lena on business on the Sonora side Of the line at NogaleS. He crossed over for few minutes with direct inten- tion of returning Immediately: and his arrest was unwarranted and uucalled for.

shootln at Crittenden.

The difficulty at Crittenden between w. l.. Sprccher and Harry Barnett, "a quarter-section of land being in dispute between them culminated Monday morning in BarnettS shooting Sprecher. Doctor ChenJweth was sum- moned and went to Crittcnden accom- panied by Tom Sprecher, returning by the afternoon train, bringing the wounded man with them. He was suffering from a bullet wound in the right side about the diaphragm, which was thought to penetrate the liver. At the time Of arrival at Nogales he seemed easy, but at the same time Doctor Chenoweth thought the case very critical.
 As is well known there has been con- siderable trouble between Sprecher and Barnett over the piece of land in question, each claiming it, and, at times, each having it in possession with his stock inside the enclosure, and turning out the stock of the other. Each has had the other arrested sev- eral times, and their cases have been before half the justices in Pima coun- ty. The following account of the cul- minating difficulty was gathered from the friends of the wounded man, and is necessarily an 'ex-parte" statement:
 It seems that Barnett's cattle were in the enclosure, and on Sunday they lad a scrap" in the matter in which Barnett was badly beaten. Monday morning Sprecher met Barnett and told him he must take his cattle out. Barnett said he would do so ds soon as he could go to the house and get his keys to unlock the gate. Sprecher feared that rUse and demanded that they be got out immediately, without waiting to get the keys. He finally consented to take the voucher of some teamsters, campeI near by, that Bar nett would do as agreed, and together they started for the teamsters' camp to reach an understanding in that way. Suddenly Barnett exclaimed T will shoot you, you son of b., aud, suit ing the action of the word, jumped aside, pulling his pistol and firing, the bullet penetrating as described above.
The oasis., 1895-05-04

Sprecher then caught the pistol to prevent his further use, and punished Barnett severely with both his fists and boots It iS reported that he fractured Barnett's skull. Both men clung to the pistol until it was taken from them by Mir. A. Bachellier, who was one of the witnesses.
 At the time Sprecher was brought to Nogales it was reported that Bar nett was under guard at Crittenden confined to his bed by his injuries, from the effect of which he was dcler- ious.
 Since the foregoing was in type Con- stable Speedy went to Crittenden, ar rested Barnett, brought him to No- gales and lodged him in jail. To the officer arresting him the prisoner as- serted that the shot was fired in self defence; that they had fought the previous day and renewed the quarrel that morning upon Sprecher's cutting the fence; that in the difficulty then tranSpiring Sprecher assaulted him with slung shot, inhicting injuries so severe that he feared his life was endangered and fired the shot
 Barnett was taken before Justice Cumming, who fixed his bail at 5000 In absence of bail he was remanded.
 "Wednesday Mir. R. R. Richardson arrived from Crittenden to go on the bail bond of Barnett, and was met at the depot and arrested on warrant which had been sworn out, charging him with participation in the assault on Sprecher He was taken before Justice Cumming, and on motion of the defense, was admitted to bail in tue sum of Sl ,000. Barnett was also ad- mitted to bail in the sum of g, 900, and was released from jail. Next Tuesday was set for hearing the case on pre- liminary examination.
 The story of the affray from the side of Barnett is that Monday morning after an affray the day before Sprech- CT and Barnett met at the fence. They had words across the fence and Sprecher threw q rock striking Bar nett on the shoulder, and inficting painful hurt. Barnett went through the fence at Sprecher ard got caught in the wire. While he was so held Sprecher assaulted hlm with slung shot. Barnett got free, and backed along the fence, a distance of l50 feet. Sprecher following and striking him. At that point Barnett left the fence. going out about fifty feet, then turn ing toward the fence again, until he reached point about fifty feet from where he came through, Sprecher fol- lowing and striking him. At this point Barnett drew pistol and fired. Sprecher caught the weapon, and both men held it, until it was wrested from their grasp by MT. Bachelller.
