SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY
UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTOR-
NEY FOR NEVADA KILLED.
Though a Married Man, He Was Maxi
ing Love to a Young Girl, and Was
Shot by Her Brother.

CARSON, New, Nov. 9.-The entire State
was startled and shocked at the murder late
this afternoon of Charles A. Jones, United
States district attorney, by Julian Guinan
the sixteen-year-old son of a Wel-knoWn
local physician The prominence of all con-
nected with the affair." the attendant cir
cumStanceS and the suddenness of the
tragedy make it one of the most sensational
happenings in the history of Nevada
Jones's death was caused by bullet wound
in the head, and for a time mystery sur
rounded every circumstance connected with
the killing. AT first it was supposed that
Jones had committed suicide, but no weapon
being found on his person nor near the
scene of the shooting it became evident that
his death had been caused by another, and
an hour later young Guinan surrendered
himself at the sheriffs office and confessed
to the killing.
The statement of the youth who is now
in Jail is to the effect that Immediately
prior to the shooting he had observed his
sister talking to Jones, with whom his
father had forbidden association. DIR.
Guinan was approaching. and believing
trouble to be inevitable when the two men
should meet, the boy procured Winchester
rifle and stationed himself at window for
the purpose, as he says, of protecting his
father. Upon encountering Jones, DR..
Guinan said to him: This is the last time
1 shall ever warn you against keeping COM
pany with my daughter" Jones jeered at
the doctor in comment upon his warning
and slipped his hand into his right-hand
pocket. Julian says that having heard his
father threaten to kill Jones, and having
been informed tnat the district attorney
always carried revolver, which he be-
lieVed, from JoneS'S motion, was about to
be drawn, the boy fired at Jones in anticipa-
tion of an attack on his father. Jones. fell
forward dead, the bullet from the rifle hav-
ing entered above his right eye and passed
out the Eeck behind Miss Guinan, seeing
Jones fall, threw herself upon him and en-
braced the dead body. When the coroner
took charge of the remains Joness hand
was still in his pocket, but no weapon was
found.
Jones was about thirty-three years old,
was married and left a widow and a child
at his home in Reno, whence he came this
morning on official business. He was neces-
sarily in Carson a part of his time and
while here his attentions to the girl occa-
stoned so much talk that DR.. Guinan had
been aggravated into making threats
against Jones, which indirectly led to the
murder by the doctors son.
Jones served as district attorney during
one of the most story criminal sessions held
in the United States Court in Nevada-the
prosecution and conviction of those con-
cerned in the robbery of the United States
mint. -,

Ex~Judge Vincent Withdravs as
Counsel for the Sausage Maker.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Former Judge Vim
cent who conducted the defense in the first
trial of Adolph Luetgert, has withdrawn
from the case. Private business affairs were
given as the cause of his withdrawal. At
torney Phaen who was associated with
Judge Vincent during the famous trial and
who to-day announced the latter's with
drawal, will conduct the defense at the
second hearing which, however, will not
be called within six weeks.
Luetgert, who is confined in the county
Jail, admitted that ex-Judge Vincent had
withdrawn from the case. He exhibited a
letter from Mr. Vincent. only a portion of
which he would make public. The para
graph which he read said that, owing to the
accumulation of private business during the
lengthy trial, Judge Vincent felt compelled
to withdraw from the case. His personal
interests demanded attention, and he did
not feel justified in longer neglecting them.
He advised Luetgert to secure the services
of some bright young attorney to assist
Mr.. Phalen in the defense, If a desirable
man could not be secured, however, Judge
Vincent expressed his entire willingness to
again carry on the defense, rather than see
the interests of his big client suffer.

DisCOntented.

A lady who had "too much of a good
thing" was the mother of that doughty
champion of the English church, Rob
ert de Ursula, bishop of Durham in the
thirteenth century. This bishop had
risen to his high estate from a very low
ly station. Yet he was neither ashamed
of his origin nor had he the vanity often
50 apparent in self-lnadc men. He was
never averse to abiding to his former
life. One anecdote especially illustrates
his simple candor.
At one time the lord of Scremerston
sent him some country ale. The bishop
had for Il long time been unused to that
humble beverage, yet out of respect to
the giver he tasted u cup of it and it I'M
mediately made him i'll.
See, said he. "the force of custom!
You all know my origin and that neith-
er from my parents nor from my coun-
try a l derive any taste for wine; and
yet now my country liquor is rendered
absolutely distastcful to me-"
But his mother did not experience the
satisfaction she could have wished from
the change in their mode of living. The
bishop gave her a train OF male aud fe-
ulaie SeERdut anu All nO0OraDlo eSLaD-
lishment, such as would betit the family
of u who had come to such high dig
nifty.
He visited her afterward and found
the damei in anything but II sweet temper.
"What ails my sweet mother?" he ask.
ed. "How fares she?"
"Never worse" was the reply.
"And what ails thee, then, OF troubles
thee?" continued the good son. Hast
thou not men and womel and attend-
ants sufficient for thec?"
Yea" quoth she, and more than
enough. | say to one: Co. and he
runs; to another: Come hither, fellow
and the varlet falls down on his knee.
And, in short. all things are abominably
smooth that my heart is bursting for
something to spite me and pick a quar-
rel withal!"

with prosperity, fell u-weeplng most
