With Pistol Shot.

John Turner, a well known gambler
about town, aged 40, killed himself IL
bis room in the Currie block last mig h,
by sh ct ng himself through the heart
with a 45-cal bre six shooter. The
deed is suppO-ed to have cummitte d
about II u'ciO k.
Turner has been in bad health for
his physician that he would kill him.
elf rather than become a burden on
the hands of his frienIs. He was in
his room early last night and during
the night arose from b ID and attny
himself on chair took pistol and
placing the muzzie over his heart.
Tne ball passed through his heart and
out of his left shoulder blade, then
through q towel in the corner of the
room, through a lathe and plaster wall
into the hall and then through another
wall of the same character and
lodged in brick wal in another room
just over bed where two men were
s,eep ng. Turner fill eff the chair on
his face on the floor where he bled
prOfusely and where he was found this
morning when the porter of the build
log called at his room to wake him up
at o'clock.
John Turner has lived off and on in
Ell Pas for number of years and was
we'll known. He had lately been deal
ing faro in the Gem gambling rooms,
but had ben complaining for a long
time of i'll he 18th, Turner has no rel
atives in this country except sister
living at Corinth, Mississippi. Ia
Turner's room $50 in money was found.
The body was turned over to Under
taker Russ who prepared it for burial.
This morning at 1870 two other lodg-
ers IN the Currie block entered the

passed through the hall they found the
hall strewn with plaster and one of
them remarked that he wondered who
had been THROWING plasterlng on the

d g ity of the council.

ed 20 ttke a more d;spas -1onate view of

Thunde err says, he was ''speaklng
more to the gallery than to the coun-
Gil" The Judge said he knew the
mayor was conscious of the rectltude OF
his intentions and purposes but as for
himself, he did not feel insu'ted one
bit, by the pres antatiOn of the protest
(Applausa). Said he, Il do not think
il was inteaded as an insult. If we act
along such lines as The mayors lndlg-
nation would suyges Peep WIZ think
of us i q conn elton with tue well known
text. The wicked fieeih when no man
pursueth but the righteous are as II
as a llon'" The ,dience was SUITABLY
impressed with this disp ay OF biblical
lore. and appeared to regard the Judge
as an emiuently pious man and alto
yether righteous person The Judge
d d not blame people for becoming ex-
cited when heir homes were IN danger
of dest- uctiOn. There was an old span
ish proverb that a Scald cat would
run from even cold water, and the
god people of ward ad been scalded
b fore by railroad companies, SO ne
d dit wonder that they were fearful.
The mayor was honest in his motion,
but the speaker hoped he would with
draw the same. There was no need OF
making a mountain of a mole hill.
His honor again rose to state that he
had alwav $ be. n ready and Will ng to
