IT Is guilty conscieuces which have
caused Speaker Reed to be guarded by
detectives, for fear that somebody will
do him bodily injury as result of the
public indignation at his methods of
muzzling the house. He has received
threatening letters, but they were
written by a man in Washington mere
ly to cause a sensation. There isn't
the slightest probability that anybody
will kill Mr.. Reed, or even. hurt him.
The people know that their remedy
lies in the ballot box, and they will
wait until the congressional elections
next year to apply it.

STABBING ARRAY.
A Man and His Wife Will
Probably Die.

A fight with knives occurred night
before last at Bowie, as a result of
which a man and his wife will probably
lose their lives. The principals were
jia, the former is employed by the ella
Valley railroad as laborer, and Mejia
as section hand by the Southern
Pacific company.
Garcia who is in the he bit of coaxin q
women to leave their homes and run
away with him, the other day tried to
induce Nejia's wife to leave her hus-
band, which she refused to do. When
Meiia returned home from work that
night his wife informed him of Garcia S
visit which so enraged him that he
started imme lately to look for the
tempJer with blood in his eye. He
came upon him at the depot and a fight
ensued. Garcia drew a knife, the
blade of which was a foot long, and he
succeeded in running it clear through
the body of his opponent. He then
again tried to induce the woman to fly
with him, and when she refused,
stabbed her in the abdomen, inf1ictins
a fearful wound, which nearly disem-
boweled her. 1t is thought that the
husband and wife will both die Garcia
received two or three slight flesh
wounds in the back. He was arrested
Immediately and bound over to await
the action of the next grand jury at
Tombstone, and failing to put up his
bond was incarcerated in the county

Arizona Cattle at Denver.

Arizona cattle are very much in
evidence in the Denver market as the
following fIom Clay, Robinson and
Co.'S. Live Stock Report indicates:
The month of May has been one of
great activity at the yards here. Dur
ing past years most of the southern
cattle shipped to this point have been
only transients They stopped to feed
and brand and then continued their
northern journey. This year the prices
have been so enticing that the south
ern ranchman has let go, preferring
the prices here to risking the cattle on
the range. When Arizona yearlings
are sold here from ST to $2l and two
year-olds of the same class and quality
have brought from 500 to S2S per head
it made the veterans of the range
pause and think. They had often seen
hose cattle net them less as four year
olds than the latter figure, and as a
burnt child breads the fire they de-
termined to take their profits now
instead of aiting couple of years.
The dema nd has come from Ne
braska and Kansas, and from the local
ranchmen in Colorado and Wyoming.
The latter have purchased quite Il
string of the cattle, and Arizona cows
and calves have sold as high rs S24 so
per head The open range owners
have scarcely bought a hoo. All the
cattle purchased have gone to either
the feed lot or pasture From those
pastures there seems to be no end to
the demand.

About year ago Aldrich, who had be en-

made similar petition. After leaving
the asylum he travelled extensively in
this country and Canada and also took a
trip to the Hawaiian Islands.
1t was On his return from the latter
place that he asked to be restored to re-
sponsibilty. Judge Ogden conducted a
very exhaustive investigation, and sew
eral medical experts, including Dr. Gard
ner of Napa, testified. Their evidence
seemed to indicate that at the time the
young man was perfectly sane. The only
question in doubt was as to the possible
recurrence Of his mental delusion.
The case was temporarily continued,
and in the meantime Judge o den re-
celved a communication from Aldrich and
had an interview with him, which resulted
in the court dismlsSing the application at
that time. Since then Aldrich has con.

The bringing of the petition at this
time evidently had some connection with
the suit brought by William Holt Aldrich
in San Francisco few days ago to set
aside rust provision in favor of himself
and his children. The trust is claimed to
be void in that it prohibits the ienation
OF the interest of the son and heir until a
child not yet born shall be "a years OF age
1t is more than likely that George Aldrich
is wanted as witness in this case, and
that he wishes to be restored to capacity
so that he will be competent to testify.

HUNG BY HIS SUSPENDERs.
A Drunkard Who Cannot Reform Tries
Lie in a Cell

OAKLAND, CAL, April 5. - Harry
Olsen, laboring man. tried to hang him
self in the City Prison early this morn ing
by suspending himself with his suspend
ers. Last Thursday Olsen WAS arrested
for drunkenness and sentenced to three
days. Prior 10 that time he had sworn all
kin ds OF oaths 10 keep sober, but found
that the desire for drink was stronger
than his will power.
When he sohered up he felt so blue.that
he decided to commit suicide. He first
started 10 carry out his threat against
himself by butting his head against the
bsrs, but one butt convinced him that
such a method was not only unoignified,
but fatal, so he discarded it. Olsen took
his leather suspenders, which are very
strong, and tied them high up on bar.
He then made e moose, which he put over
his head ana raised his feet from the
ground. The gurgiing noise coming from
his throat attracted the attention of the
trusty and Olsen was cut down before he
became unconscious. He declared after
ward that a man who could not keep
sober had better die, but qualified this by
saying that before he died he intended to
make another attempt to keep sober.
