On the Warpath.

Thursday morning Indian Hardy, who had been on continuous jag for many days, concluded that he would reduce the Wallspia population of Kingman, and pumed with shotgun and rife, inan- gurated war in the camp north ot town. The squaws fled toward the court house, carrying their papooees in their arms and screaming lustily. Recorder Cowan heard ths oise and went out and took the guns away from the Indian. Sheriff Potts locked him up in jail, where he will have time to repent of his bad break. The h. disns of Kingman have been getting all the whleky they want, and we hope our officers will soon apprebend the guilty parties and punish them for the crime. Some day drunken Indian will kill somebody, and then this liquor traffic will not be so funny to the average citizen.
 Yesterday Judge Redmsn gave Hardy forty days in the county jail to reflect on the sin of carrying two guns while on the warpath.

Running Amuck.

Last Tuesday evening A. J. Shrope, ordinarily quiet citizen of the county, got too much tsngefoot aboard and pro. ceeded to shoot up the town in the most approved western style. He believed that Josie Hsrcourt, soi!ed dove, had re- lieved him of roll of green backs. valued at 4o0s. and sgains, her his vengeance was directed. Going to her house on Besle street he proceeded to terriiy her with threats oi annihilation and the dis play of two loaded revolvers. The woman escaped to the rear of the Old Spot saloon. where she sought protection. Shrope hunted around and, unable to find her, brought up in the saloon. He claimed that the woman was there, and fired two shots into the floor. Coming into the front of the saloon he observed Ei Gil- bert seated at table and proceeded to assault him, siriking him on the head with large forty-6ve Colts, and firing It of at the same time. Gilbert's head was severely cut and he bled freely. The pow der from the pistol blackened his isce and hat.
 An officer was sent for and Sheriff Potts soon appeared. The officer asked Shrope to give up his guns, but he re- piled to go away. that he would kill any. body who approached him. Potts made dive for Shrope and succeeded in cap turing the hand containing the big gun. Shrope then placed the other gun sgsins, Potts head and pulled the trigger. Luck. fly the hammer fell on an exploded cart. ridge, and before he could pull the trigger again Thomas McMahan had caught his other hand and the bullet flaw into the aIr. A struggle then began for the pos session of the guns and they were soon wrested from the grasp of the insane man He was oveIpowered and conveyed to Iths j,il, where he remained until Wednesday afternoon. When brought before Judge Redman be pleaded guilty to charge o assault and was fined l50s. which fns was paid. Sbrope uas undoubtedly sui fering from the effects of drink at the time, but that did not excnse him fol the acts committed. The officers in al lowing him to plead guilty to s misde meanor did the best th,ng for all con cerned.

The feeble attempt of Phoenix paper to cast slur on one of Mohsve county's delegates fell very fat.
