RanCher Green Commits
Murder on a Street
of Tombstone.
His Victim Suspected of Hav-
ing Caused the Drowning
of Two Children.
Accused by the Bereaved Father
OF the Malicious Bre aking
of Dam.

TOMBSTONE, ARIz., July 8. - Mad
dened by the loss of his child
and the by grief O: his wife w
C. Greene deliberately shot anC
killed James G. Burnett yesterday. Th'
tragedy occurred at midday and on pub
lie street. 1t came as the sequel of dis
tressing casualty on San Pedro River tn'
other day wherein a daughter of Green.
and her playmate, Edna Cochran, were
drowned by the bursting of dam.
Greene believed that Burnett mali
ciously destroyed the dam. The two men
met face to face on the street. Greene &C
cused Burnett, at the same time flourish
ing his pistol.
"It's a lie," said Burnett. II had moth
ing to do with the dam."
81 know better" SAID the enraged father
~ have proof that you broke that dam
You will never break another"
Bang! bang! bang! sounded the pistol
and Burnett dropped with three mortal
wounds.
Both the men were widely known in
this part of the Territory, as both were
pioneer ranchmen and possessed of con.
siderable wealth. Burnett was Justice OF
the Peace at Pearce and the owner
of a big ranch in the San Pedro
near that of his slayer. For some time
they have been unfriendly, owing chiefly
to quarrel over water rights. After the
drowning of his daughter Greene offered
a reward of $1,000 for proof of the identity
of the person who broke the dam, and
then he set out up the river, vowing moi
to return until he had learned who had
caused the death of his child.
Greene came into town yesterday with
Sheriff Scott White and LETT his weapon al
livery stable with his team. A couple ol
hourssIater he came in and asked for the
pistol, saying that he intended to have il
repaired. Five minutes later the shots
were fired. any one of which would have
been sufficient. Greene made no attemp
10 escape, but surrendered to Chief OF Pc.
lice Wiser, who turned him over to his
friend, Sheriff White. When seen in his
cell to-day he said:
II have no statement to make, other
than that the man / killed was the cause
of my child being drowned. ascertain ed
beyond the shadow of doubt that he was
my little girl as she put her arms around
my neck on THE day she was drowned
could not think of anything but ven
geance on the man who had caused her
death.
II have lived in this territory twenty
five years and have always been a peacea-
bic, Iaw-abiding man. I held no animos-
ity and have no regret for anything ex-
cept the death of my little girl and the lit
tie Cochran girl, her playmate. and the
terrible grief of my poor wife," and then
he added. as though, perhapA ending
himself: "Vengeance is mine; l will re-
pay, saye,h the Lord"
Friends of Mr.. Greene declare that his
troubles have unsettled his reason or the
killing would not have occurred. The
funeral of the little girls drowned in the
San Pedro by the bursting o. the dam was
more largely attended than any other ever
held in this county, and the whole affair
from first to last is regarded in the light
of public bereavement.

HANNNs HOPES GO eLIMMERINe.
Bushnell WIN Appoint Laeutenent
Governor Jones Senator.

Cleveland, Feb. Alt can be stated on
unquestionabie authority that Mr.. Hanna
has practically abandoned all hope of Sc
curing the appointment as United States
senator to succeed Sherman. A gentle
man who stands as close to Hanna as any
person In Cleveland said today there was
now no doubt that Governor Bushnell
would appoint Lieutenant Governor Jones
10 ill the unsxpired term Of senator. and
that at the next session Of the legislature.
which conyenes in January. 1895 Governor
Bushnell would himself be a candidate
for the full term. 1t is further stated
on the same authority that the lieutenant
governor has agreed not to be a candi-
date for the full term in opposition TO
Bushnell and the fight will be between
Bushnell and Hanna. The gentleman who
gave this information and whose knowl-
edge on the subject can not be doubted,
said the fight between Hanna and Sena-
tor Foraker would now be carried on TO
the bitter end, and would, he said, not be
by any means confined TO state politics.
The report that Hanna is being strongly
urged to accept the postmaster general
ship In McKinley's cabinet is also veri-
fed, but thus far. II is stated, he has
steadily declined to enter the cabinet in
any capacity.

placer deposits and tracing these deposits
to the quartz veins along the headquar-
tiers of the tributaries of the Yukon
Sufficient data Professor Wolcott
says, was secured to establish the pres

Alaska, which enters the territory near
the mouth Of Forty Mile creek and ex-
tends westward across the Yukon valley

Its further extent is unknown. The
opinion is expressed by the geologist In

throughout the Yukon region Large
areas OF rock containing hard bltuminous
coal were also discovered along the river.
