FEARFUL SHOCK.
H. M. Willis Used as Football by
 Whimsical Bolt of Lightning.


 H. M. Willis, the young attorney, yesterday morning narrowly missed being jerked hence to the happy hunt ing ground. Willis lives on Center street near Judge Ainsworth's, and during the progress of the storm yes terday morning was standing near a window looking into the rear yard. He had just stopped over to pick up his spectacles when a sudden flash almost blinded him. Simultaneously there was loud roar like a fire of musket- ry. Willis threw his hands to his face to hide the awful glare and felt him self propelled backwards until his flight was stopped by coming in con- tact with door leading to bedroom just fourteen feet from where he was standing when the lightning struck.
 He was uninjured, save the breath was knocked out of him by his violent contact with the door. The shock to his nervous system was such that he never fully recovered himself all day.
 The lightning struck within fifty feet of the house, attracted no doubt by a roll of barbed wire. After striking the earth it was defected and knocked few shingles from the roof of Judge Ainsworth's house. The hole made by the bolt in the earth is about a foot in diameter and Willis says when it struck the dirt was thrown ten feet in the air.

PAID IN LEAD.
A Man Who Applies for His Wages
 Receives Bullets Instead.

A novel manner of paying a debt, but in the long run perhaps, very ex- pensive method, has been inaugurated by Geo. F. Kemper who lives on the Black canyon road.
 Yesterday afternoon a highly indig- mana and pale faced individual named Frank Ray called upon Justice Morris and demanded a waTrant for the ar rest of MT. Kemper.
 His story if proven true will doubt less cause Mr. Kemper considerable trouble and expense to clear himself in the eyes of the law. Ray said that he had been working for Kemper, but quit some days ago. He called on his former employer yesterday and re- quested that he be paid the salary due him for work rendered. Kemper re- ceived him pleasantly and when he made the demand for his money smiled and said "Oh, yes; I'H pay you.' Saying this he entered the house and Ray waited outside, thinking he was going to get his hard earned wages. Kemper almost immediately reap peared and instead of the cash he held in his hand a gun of the Smith & Wes- son pattern and capable of discharg- ing five bullets, with more or less ac- curacy, and perhaps it is owing to the inaccuracy of the range of the bullets that Ray lived to tell his tale. Ray was standing about ten feet away when Kemper made his appearance. He pointed the weapon at Ray and said: Here's your salary" or words to that effect He then pulled the trigger and a bullet sized uncomfortably close to Rays cranium. The man with the gun did not stop until four more had been fired. Strange to relate none of the bullets struck Ray, whether it was because he bears a charmed exist ence or owing to Members poor aim, but most likely the latter is the cor rect supposition.
 Ray thought he would postpone any further demands for his wages, as he did not relish being paid in lead, as it is not legal tender

DELEGATE MURPHY RETURNS.

 Statehood.

Nathan Oakes Murphy, delegate to congress from the territory of Arizona, returned yesterday afternoon from the east, coming through from Washing ton direct, save for a stop of day at Prescott. He was greeted in all pleas ure during the afternoon by his many local friends and was kept more than busy in responding to the many saluta- tions of his constituents in replying to the inquiries relative to the work of the last session and in regard to the election prospects in the east. He is in very apparent good health. So
 AS to the campaign Governor Mur- phy had little to say save that he left Arizona a silver man and returns the same. Apropos of the silver question the genial ex-governor had a number of new tales, among them being one about as follows:
 Billy Morrison is noted for his stor- ies and even the financial question is not sacred from his tongue and wit. Said he the other day: ''This man Bryan speaks of biblical matters when he. asserts that. 'Ye shall not cruelty man upon a cross of gold' I would remind him that the grand original crucifixion would not have happened had not Judas Iscariot got stuck on silver"
 As to statehood Governor Murphy had little to say, except that the con- ditions prevailing at the last session rendered the passage of such a bill practically impossible. All that could have been done was done in the inter
