TO STOP THE FIGHT
New Mexico Authorities Have Been
on the Alert.
The GOVERNOR WENT TO Ell PASO
Arrived on the Train That Carried
Maher.
PUGILISTS ALL ON HAND
]E GOVERNOR WENT TO Ell PANO
PUGILISTS ALL ON HAND

Ell PAsO. Texas. February s.-Sherir
Ascarte of Donna Anna county, which Is
just across the New Mexican line, and a
number of deputy sheriffs have been here.
Their object in coming was to keep care
full watch upon the movements of Maher
and FitZsimmons, to see that they do not
cross into the territory to fight. The new
Mexican authorities say they will arrest
the pugilists If any attempt is made to pull
off the fight on their side of the dividing
lire
Gov. Thornton of New Mexico left this
morning for Santa Fe. The governor got
in from Las Cruces on the train that
brought Peter Naher to town last night,
and curiously enough the pair took the
same train out of here this morning.
Sheriff Ascarte, who accompanied the
fighters to Ell Paso, returned to Las Cruces
this morning. advised by the governor that
this vigilance was unnecessary, as the fed
eral government has relieved him of all
responsibility in the matter.
Just where the governor obtains this in
depreciation of the law is not known here:
Lawyers argue that under the new federal
act the government must be called upon y
the local territorial governors for assist
ace in suppressing fights before the troops
can be ordered out.
Horace Leeds, the .tlantic City man who
is to meet Jack Everhardt, got in this
morning with Captain Glori, and with his
arrival every fighter who is to take part in
the six battles is on the ground.
Sam Austin of New York, temporary
stakeholder, now en- route, wires that he
Will turn ever the money, insuring the
purses to the stakeholder, LawIer. at Hous-
ten tomorrow morning, and continue on
here. George Siler, the referee, arrives in
the morning from Chicago.
Gov. AnumaGa of Chihuahua is expected
at JUarez tC day. The quaint town is in
holiday attire to receive him. His excel
1ency5 arrival. it is understood, is to look
over the Mexican border lines with a view
to protecting Mexican territory against in
yasion by the pugilists.

THE TARIFF BILLS FATE
will Be Determined at the Populist Con-
ference This Afternoon.
A Chance for It's being RecOmmitted,
but the Prospect for Its Pass
aEe is Doubtful.

There is wide difference OF opinion
among Senator's as to what is going to be
done with regard to the Quay resolution
Monday, and what. in any event. will be
the fate of the tariff bill The popul:st
Senators are to hold a conference late this
afternoon. Their determination will have
more to do with the fate of legislation than
has the wishes Of The party in power"
Primarily the object of this conference is
to determine on their course with regard
to the election of officers Of the Senate. but
they will probably decide on their general
policy, including specifically their course as
to the Quay resolution. 1t is anticipated
that they will endeavor indirectly to aid
the republicans in electing the officers of
the Senate. Some of them think that they
ought to vote to recommit the tariff bill
and to indirectly aid the republicans in
passing the bill finally as it came from the
House. Their argument in favor of this is
that 1t would be a good thing to give Mr..
Cleveland an opportunity to pass upon the
measure. But the general policy of the
pOpulists Is not to aid the republicans in
any legislation. so that there may be moth
ing done at this session and they may go
before the people with that evidence of the
"incompetency of both the old parties"
"A finance 1Or hecOmmIttuI.
The probability is that they will not vote
all one way on the Quay resolution, and
there is fair chance that the tariff bill
will be recommitted without instructions.
Whether the BILL once being back in COM
mittee, can ever get out again without be-
ing weighted down with a silver amend
ment, depends upon Mr. Jones of Nevada.
Wolcott has said that he will vote to report
ha h .oclyo no
House. Jones vote would, therefore, be all
that would be needed to accomplish the de-
sired action. The strongest sort of pres
sure is being brought to bear on him, but,
as far as can be learned, he has shown no
signs of yielding. The plain fact of the
situation is that the silver men do not in
tend that there shall be any remedial leg
islation. AS they regard the matter their
interest lies in having the present unsatls-
factory conditions continue until after the
permcst at that time shall be precisely
what they are now.
If the Bill Goes Through.
If the tariff bill is permitted to go through
the Senate, 1t will be on account of the con-
viction on the part of the silver men and
populists that there is no possibility of
Cieveland's permitting IL to become law.
But they are afraid even then that the pas
sage of the bill and its being vetoed by the
President will raise an issue which will de-
tract attention from their favorite silver
question. This same consideration leads
some of the sound money" democrats to
want the bill to go to the President, but
prospect of anything being done is very
doubtful.

A FRIdHTFUL AFFAIR.

One Of the most shocking and dis
tressing accidents in the annals of
Osborne county occurred in Valley
township last Saturday forenoon,
says the Osborne Farmer. Through
the worse Of criminal csrelessness
of Ernest A. Darland, a young farmer
living on the Grandma Trexler place,
his wife, 10 years Of age, is cold in
death-killed by the discharge of a
shot gun in the hands of her reckless
husband. AS near as the FARMER can
ascertain them the facts in this horrl-
BILE affair are about as follows:
Saturday morning Dsrland con-
cluded to go hunting. He took his
double barreled shot gun down from
it's accustomed place, cleaned it up
and inserted the shells. After load
ing the gun he pointed it at neigh
oors llGCle hoy, who was IN the house
at the time, and jokingly remarked,
II guess I'll shoot YOU" His wife
reprimanded HIM for attempting to
scare the lad IN that foolhardy man
DER. To his wife's remarks Darland
replied, Il guess I'll scare you," and
pointed the gun directly at her head,
Mrs. Darlsnd was standing only a
few feet from the end of the gun
barrels. The gun must have been
cooked, for the instant Dsrland aim
ed the weapon at his wife one barrel
was discharged, the contents striking
the unfortunate woman in the face
and producing fatal injuries. The
result could not have been otherwise.
Mrs. Darlsnd's left eye was shot out
and that side Of her face mangled in
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1896-12-31

a frightful manner. Dan Drexler, a
son of Jas Trexler, and cousin OF
Mrs. Darland, was also IN the room
when the gun was discharged. His
face was blackened and slightly burn.
ed by the powder DR.. V. Fritts, Of
Luray, was summoned TO the scene OF
the accident as soon as possible, but
little could DO done for the dying
woman, who never regained con-
seriousness and breathed her last at
7 o'clock Sunday morning. As soon
as Darland realized that he had shot
bis wife he frantically exclaimed, II
don't see why / did itE' and at once
fell on his knees and began praying
Darland is almost distracted over the
terrible outcome of his own careless
ness, which is wholly inexcusable in
the eyes Of the public.
Dsrland has lived in this county
only about a year. lie is said to
have come here from Plainville
Shortly after coming to Osborne
county he met and won the love OF
Miss Sarah Trexler, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Philip Trexler, of Valley
township. They were married on
March Is, 1896, less than a year ago.
Mrs. Dsrland was a very estimable
young woman, and her sudden death
in such a frightful manner has cast a
deep gloom over the community in
which she had lived from childhood.
The husband has since been arrest
ed and bound over for trial. The
shooting can hardly be called an &C.
cident, and justice demands that the
murderer be punished.
