".l P6OLISH FR1GEDf

Under the above caption the Mem phis Commercial Appeal makes mem ton and discusses a tragedy which occurred in Mississippi the other day that is attended with some se- r.o-eomic phases. An editor Of m inland newspaper failed to make elaborate mention of religious lee turer in his town, for which the edi-
 or was accosted and called to ac- count by q neighbor The latter charged that the "write up was not more extended and elaborate be- cause the editor belonged to a differ ent religious denomination to that Of the lecturer. This challenged the editors fairness and he straighfway proceeded to roast the lecturer n the columns of his newspaper, where upon thc editor was attacked and carved by the irate and disappoint- cd citizen, whose vanity had not been gratifed. The editor died from the effect of his wounds, and the murderer had to flee to escape the vengeance of mob. Comment ing on this tragedy the Gommereiat dppeai very truly says
 An editor has the right to conduct his paper as he deems proper and it is his privilege to give whatever space he desires to a given item Of news. No irate citizen has the right to criticise an editor for the manner in which he conducts his newspaper. The coming of q lecturer is not such an item as would justify the publi- cation of very much news about it.. Ii may have been that had the ora. tor belonged to another denomina- tioG be would have been advertised more, but that is a question for the editor to determine as pleascs him The whole thing is so trivial and childish that it is humiliatng to conside. seriously. But the editor who desired to conduct his newspa- per in his own way is dead and the prominent citizen who felt outraged because his lecturer was not given enough newspaper notoricty is in l jail with charge of murder staring him in the face. No doubt he wish
 es that he had paid nc attention to the alleged delinquency on the part of the editor, but is too late now to mend matters and he will have to suffer the consequences of his act. Ii men would only pause and reflect moment before acting many trage- dies would be avoided. There was no ground for any trouble in the Mississippi case referred to It was q piece of unfortunate foolishness.

The people of this eouatry have been lead 10 believe that the natives and people of the Hawaiian Islands were eager and anxious and tumb- ling over each other to be annexed to the United States.

Last August Hayes was taken sick, and whe nat the point of death he resolved, if he recovered, to return to the United States and look for his kinsmen.

Wreck of the Casper of Point
 Arena, California.
A CAPTAIN AND A SEAMAN.
The Rest of Crew of Thirteen
 Undoubtedly Drowned.
A Story of TWenty-four Hours Ex- posture, and the Bravery of Two Rescuers in a Small Boat - Be- labOrsd by Breakers

Point Arena Cal, Oct. 23.-ThiTte- n seamen, comprising almost the entire crew of the steam schooner Caspe-, were drowned early this morning by the wreck of their vessel. The rocky shore in this vicinity was strewn wi h wreckage today, but there was no way of identifying the ship until this morning, when two men from sho e who had gone out in small boat to rescue any of the crew who might still be alive, picked up Captain Auf1ndsen and Seaman Chris Larsen, who had been floating about on an improvised raft for twenty-four hours To his rescueTs, Adolph Peterson and Henry Anderson, the captain of the wrecked steamer said that the Casper struck on reef at 12:30 this morning and seven minutes later capsiZed. When she tipped over all the members of the crew were washed overheard. The steamer carried fifteen men, but from the moment the accident oc- cured the captain had seen none of his crew except his companion, Lar sen, and had no doubt that the othsr thirteen have been drowned. When Larsen, by great good luck, were able to raft some pieces of timber floating by They succeeded in drawing boards together and chung to this improvised of ho or,,t until late this afternoon, while the storm beat upon them, the while be- ing exposed to the most furious gale of the season. They had almost sue cumbed from exposure and exhaustion and were with great difficulty saved by their Tescuers.
 The sea has been so high all day that it has been impossible to launch a boat from shore, and even this even- ing the two msm wo went out and accomplished their rescue, risked their lives in the breakers. Later in the evening the steamer Alcazar crt1ised about the scene of the wreck, but could find no trace of any other sea men. The Casper sailed from San Francisco yesterday for Usal, where she was to load lumber for San Fran cisco.
 The steam schooner Is we'll known on the coast, having been engaged in the lumber freighting business for the past nine years. She was owned by the Casper Lumber company.

A BUCKEYE TRAGEDY.
c. s. Jones, Former Phoenician,
 Shot to Death.

C. $. Jones, a former resident of Phoenix, was accidentally shot and killed at Buckeye last Thursday af- termoon at f o'clock. Jones and T. ]. Kasson had just returned from trip to Agua Caliente. On reaching the gate leading to Jones' camp, Kasson alighted from the wagon and opened it. Jones drove through and on to his camp. While Kasson was closing the gate he heard Jones call to the horses to stop and almost simuita- neously be heard the report of a gun. When Kasson reached the wagon, Jones lay gasping, blood pouring from a hole in the pit of his stomach. Death was almost instantaneous. A coroner's jury, impaneled by Justice accidental death. An examination of the wound showed that the charge of shot after entering the stomach ranged upward and to the left, a part of it entering the heart It was believed that he attempted to get out of the wagon with the gun in his hand, the muzzle toward him, that he stumbled and fell in such manner that the hammer of the gun struck upon the side of the box. The funeral took place on Friday and the body was buried in a box fashioned by his neighbors.
 Jones was unmarried and had no relatives living in this part of the country. From letters found afcer his death it was learned that his father lives at Baskerville, Bradford county, Pa., and a brother in Wisconsin Jones came to Phoenix four years ago and bought property in ChurchilPs addition at the corner of Fourth and Fillmore streets. He moved to the Buckeye country two years ago and lived there until his death.

A fire broke out at midnight in a house at the southwest corner of Washington street and Eighth avenua It was a box-like structure and was consumed before the department could get on the ground. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as the house was believed to be unoccupied; at any rate, no furniture was saved. The property belonged to A. w. Hoffman until about three months ago he dis posed of it to w. T. Smith. It was rented some time afterward to a Jew ess, book agent, whose name no one knew. She disappeared couple of weeks ago and the neighbcrs have since wondered what became of her. They did not see any furniture re- moved from the house.
 The building was worth from $500 to $500.

not directly, the result of morphine and cocaine Three days ago she was taken in a helpless condition from her lodgings to the home. One Sun day afternoon last June attention was first attracted to her by her cutting L. Rosenstein, with whom she had been irregularly living. She was arrested and taken to the county jail. She was almost a maniac from the use of cocaine and morphine. The next day she was charged with insanity, tried in probate court and committed to the asylum She remained a couple of months and was discharged, not as cured, for no insane asylum can effect a cure of narcotic habit. She had been in the asylum here a year be- fore and was similarly discharged.
 She returned to town in August and for a time tried to withstand temp tation. At length she gave way.
 The dead woman is about 25 years old. She came to Prescott from Mis- souri with a husband and baby six years ago. She was separated from her husband, who obtained con srol of the child. After that she began using narcotics and liquor, About a year later she was sent to Yuma from Yav- apai county for numbering a man by poison. She was pardoned a couple of years later and that pardon was her ruin. Her descent after that was swift, interrupted only by the two terms in the asylum.
