A TALE OF ''BUTTING. "
How Geo, MintZ Come to Sell
 His Pet Goat.
The Beast Has a Reputation as a Knocker Which Will Be Put to
 Good Use by a Genius.

City Editor Geo. Mintz of the Herald yesterday morning was the proud proprietor of 8 goat but later in the day the goat changed masters and the change happened in this way. The goat is one of the putting variety, in fact took great delight in putting everything in the neighborhood, where he WAS monarch of everything in sight. The small boys feared him and threw rocks at him from some secure hiding place. His gostship's powers with his head can be testified to by many and when any complaint was made to MlntZ he al ways excused the bsttering ram.
 Yesterday morning he was leaning over his front gate enjoying a cigar be- fore going to work and wondering if he was going to have dose of "anewsia" before the day was done. While cogi- tatinp he was sensible of hearing rush of feet on the walk and the next instant something struck him and he fell pros trate over the gate onto the sidewalk. He rolled his eyes heavenward and said "Oh, Father, in the fullness of thy heart, forgive me my sins for they have been many. I have lied about the cir culation and faked scoops, butt here he caught sight of his pet goat laughing at him on the other side of the open gate. He forgot his prayers on the in stant and raising himself with alacrity

A MOB'S WORK. Negro Killed on General
 Principles. Pulled a Gun on AnOth-
 CT Negro. Then Resisted Arrest by Throw
 ing Bricks.
The Offense Was Sufficient for Q Mob to Take Him. from Jail
 and Blow Out His Brains.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 HICKMAN, Ky, Sept. G. William Butcher, colored, was victim to mob violence last midnight. The crime seems to have been committed on gen. eral principles. Butcher, worthless, quarrelsome negro, had been arrested during the evening for drawing pistol on another negro. He was drunk and attempted to resist arrest by throwing bricks at the officers, one of which struck 8 bystander. Butcher was taken to the city lookup.
 About midnight handful of men came to the lookup and took Butcher out. The men, eight or ten in number. were masked. They were not disturbed in their work. Butcher was taken to the edge of town and 8 shotgun placed against his head and discharged. The head was almost torn of and the body was filled with holes when it was taken care of by the coroner in the morning.
 It is thought the detection of the mob will be an easy matter, but it is not likely that any serious investigation will be made.

VERY SLOW Are the Proceedings in the Durrant Case. The Defense Treading
 Uncertainties. Officer Riehl Gives His Testi-
 mony in the Case. Defense VIII Rely on the Improba- bility of Prosecution Prov-
 ing the Case.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-The taking of testimony in the trial of Theodore Durrant is preceding slowly. The pros- ecution is inclined to make speed, but the defense seems to be trsading uncer- tainties or searching for technicalities The defendants attoi oineys are constant. ly seeking flaws in the testimony, but have found none that are material It is said the defense will rely largely on the improbability of the prosecution proving. the case.
 An immense crowd struggled for ad mission this morning to hear the evidence in the trial. Policeman Riehl, who accompanied Detective Gibson when the latter viewed the body when first found in Emanuel church, de. scribed the belfry and bIoodstains on the stairway leading to the belfry land ing where the body was found. He said the blood had dripped down the stairway. He found blood in three places on the floor beside the body. Riehl stated that the belfrv landing was covered with dust so thick that footprints left tracks. The steps on the belfry were also dusty.
 The defense emphasized the presence of dust and made the witness describe the dust covered floor and steps severa times as if they intended to utilize the statement to Durrant's advantage.
 The case will not go on tomorrow bu will be taken up Monday.

WAGES ARB RAISED.
EmployeS of the Copper Queen
 in Luck.
The Company Voluntarily increases the Salaries Paid to
 Its Men.

From the Tombstone frOspector.
 The voluntary raise in wages at Bis bee by the Copper Queen is another SUI ubstantial evidence of the liberal treatment of the employees by the man agement of that company. This raise distributed among over 800 employees will swell the pay roll and bring into extra circulation thousands of dollars per month. Cochise county thus has the distinction of being the first county in the territory that can claim the honor of raise in wages for some time, and proves beyond doubt that the banner county still ranks amongst the foremost in resources and dividend payers.

HE IS WORRIED.
Lemons Preliminary EXamin-
 ation Begins Today.
Several Witnesses But Mrs. Shea- han the Only Person That Saw
 the Tragedy.

From the Tucson Star.
 The preliminary examination of Lemon, for the killing of Sheahan, will begin on Saturday morning before Jus tice Meyers. The date of it was set yesterday. Sheriff Leatherwood left this morning for Harshaw to subpoena witnesses. It is said there will be sev- eral, though none will be eye witnesses of the tragedy except Mrs. Sheahan.
 The defendant is beginning to exhibit considerable uneasiness, quite at vari- ance with the cooness lie displayed on his arrival at the iail His worry, his friends say, is not on account of the ap- prehension of an uEfavorable termina- tiop of the case but on account of the trouble hs has brought upon his rela tives.
 Though it is now nearly week after the shooting very little is known here yet of it's circumstances. The only person who has come from Harshaw since the killing is Sheriff Leatherwood. Parties from Crittenden have been in town, but their information, like that brought here, is founded mainly on rumor.

WEDNESDAY, MAY %, lS9;
LEAVE sANANToNE ALONE.

The old parson who said that he
did not love a liar, yet IL he had
to have one around wanted one
who would do the business without
mincing matters, would have
found his beau ideal of liar in
the Houston Age. That reminis-
cence OF the mal-odorous Bayou
says philadelphia is governed by
republicn politicians and with the
exception perhaps of San Antonio,
it is the worst governed city
in America" Unless the Age,
which is not likely, means to be
understood that Houston is not a
city within the legitimate meaning
Of that term, then this statement
of the.Age is entitled to the IN.
qualified approval OF the parson
aforesaid. San Antonio is distanced
every day in the week by Houston
in all that pertains to laXity Of
morals, debauchery, drunkenness,
thievery, thugism, street brawls,
assaults. murder, and all else that
makes up its daily catalogue Of in
creasing crime. Compared to San
Antonio it is a veritable hell on
earth, in which all the spirits of
evil run riot and in which neither
age, sex, dignity OF char
acter, or anything 2else that
should be held sacred receives
the least consideration. It's only
apolOgists are those who have a
monetary interest in its reputation
and to the transient so.journer
within its gates is perpetual trib-
ulatiOn. Aping the airs of a city
1t continues to be an overgrown
village, in which all the vices and
none OF the virtues of a real metro
polls find foothold. or this mod
ern sodom The Age is the great ex-
ponent. The utterance of such
truths concerning a city Of this
state is not pleasant, but the ne
cessities of telling the truth, when
anything is told, are too apparent
in this case.to leave any option.

The Republican party has al
ways piloted the country out OF its
tortuous channels, and it will do so
this time. There is no question
about that. The country will kick
at first and admire the wisdom Of
the old party later, just as it did in
the resumption OF specie payments.
The man in Southwest Tex
as with a hoe in his hand this year
for the first time is kicking him
self for staying out OF Gods coun-
try as long as he did. He is hoe
ing corn and not cotton this year.
The anxiety Of the Democratic
party to be the foster mother Of the
Republican National convention
never was greater than at present.
That motherly instinct is'a Won
derful thing to behold.
An equality in the purchasing
value of all the coin and currency
of the country fills the bill.
The more anyone reads up on the
financial question the more will he
be down in the mouth.
Go to the regular booksellers for
what you want. The agents sell
what they want.
The boom in financial articles
will call forth all sorts. Take them
slowly.
