SHOT TO SAVE
HIS FATHER.
Julian Quinan, 16 Years Old,
Shoots and Kills
U. 8. District Attorney Jones
of Nevada.
JONES MADE A MOTION
As Though About to Draw a
Revolver and Died
With His Hand Still in His
Pistol Pocket.

Carson, New, Nov. 1O.-The entire
community has been startled and
shocked at the murder Of Charles A
Jones. United States district attorney,
by Julian Guinan, the 16 year old son
of a well known local physician.
The prominence of all connected with
the affair, the attendant circumstances
and the suddenness of the tragedy
make it one of the most sensational
happenings in the history of Nevada
Jones' death was caused by a bullet
wound in the head, and for a time mys-
terry surrounded every circumstance
connected with the killing. At first it
was supposed that Jones had commit
ted suicide, but no weapon being found
on his person nor near the scene of the
shooting, it became evident that his
death was caused by another, and an
hour later young Guinan surrendered
himself to the sheriff's office and con-
fessed to the killing.
The statement of the youth, who IS
now in jail, is to the effect that immedi-
ately prior to the shooting he observed
his sister talking to Jones, with whom
his father had forbidden association,
when he saw DR.. Gu1nan approaching
Believing trouble to be inevitable when
the two men should meet, the boy pro-
cured a 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 I shall ever
warn you against keeping company
with my daughter"
Jones jeered at the doctor in COM
ment upon his warning, and slipped his
hand into his right hand pocket. Julian
states that having often heard his
father threaten to kill Jones. and hav-
ing been informed that the district at
tOrney always carried a revolver, which
he believed from Jones' motion was
about to be drawn, the boy fired in an
ticipatiUn of an attack upon his father.
Jones fell forward dead, the bullet
from the rifle having entered above his
right eye and passed out at the neck
beyond.
Miss Guinan seeing Jones fall, threw
herself upon him and embraced the
dead body.
When the coroner took charge of the
remains, Jones' hand was still in his
pocket, but no weapon was found.
Jones was about SO years of age, was
married and left a widow and child at
his home in Reno. from whence he came
on official business.
He was necessarily 'n Carson part
of his time, and his attentions to Miss
Guinan OccaSioned so much talk that
DR.. Guinan had been aggravated into
making threats against Jones, which
indirectly led to the murder by the doc
tors son.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Washington Society Indebted to Pres
ident and Mrs Mckinley for Favors.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Washington
society owes much gratitude to Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley for the many
attractions that have been added to
the White House during the summer
A great deal of the shabbiness of the
official part of the mansion has disap-
peared. The small rObing room to the
right of the entrance, that was a bare
ofice-Iike apartment, has been trans
formed into a little Flemish waiting
room, as different as possible from the
old one. The polished floor is covered
with handsome rugs, there is a wains-
coting of dark wood surrounding the
es, and attractive sketches upon the
wall, while heavy carved furniture and
hangings in tones of green make this
place of beauty instead of the bare and
ugly room it has been for so many
years. On informal occasions Mrs. Nc
Kinley's maid, with her white cap and
apron, waits in this little room to take
care of the ladies' wraps and head COW

MARKED HIM FOB LIFE.
Maine Freshmen Take Revenge on q
Sophomore.

Lewiston, Me-, Nov. 10.-A sophomore
named Willis, of Bates college, is at
his home badly used up as a result of
severe chastisement at the hands of a
band of freshmen Saturday night. For
some time the freshmen have been the
victims of hazing at the hands of the
Latin sOphOmoreS, and the former have
determined on vengeance.
As Willis was thought to be the ring
leader he was the first victim. Satur-
day night he went to an entertainment
in Auburn. As he was seeing a young
lady home he was met by an angry
dozen freshmen, who pOunced upon
him. They took Willis to the west
pitch on the AndrOscogin. 1t is claim
ed that but for the interference of one
of the freshmen Willis would have been
thrown into the river above the falls,
and if SO he would certainly have
drowned, as the pitch is a place where
several people have lost their lives.
Willis was also beaten and tied to a
tree; on his forehead was marked 1901.
and he was then left until morning
1t has been reported that the figures
on the forehead were marked with
preparation containing acid, and that
they cannot be removed. This, how
ever, is now claimed to be untrue. Ow-
ing to the rough usage to which he was
subjected Willis has been obliged to
leave college and go to his home.

NIGHT AND DAY.
A Family is Watching a Grave
Not Far From Valley Falls.

N. Harman of the Valley Falls Vim
dicator, who was in Topeka yesterday,
told story of a family in his neigh
borhood which is carefully guarding the
grave of a relative to prevent ghouls
from stealing the body
Mrs. R Robinson, who lived east of
Valley Falls, died last Thursday and
was buried in Rose Hill cemetery. She
died suddenly and the cause was un-
known. The family feared that her
body might be stolen for the use of
some medical college, and the grave is
watched every day as we'll as during
the night.
The watchers live in a covered wag-
on which stands few feet from the
grave in the cemetery, and they say
that they intend to keep up the watch
until there is no longer any danger of
the body being stolen.

CORK FOR PAYMENTS.

Coils applied to the board of estimate
and appOrtionrnent today for permis-
sion to put cork pavement on Fifth ave
nue. from Twenty-fOurth to Thirty
sixth street, in lieu of the sheet asphalt
for which a contract had been already
made.
It had been represented to him that
in view of the heavy carriage traffic on
that part of the avenue the asphalt
would soon be worn down and become
slippery in bad weather.
The cork when mixed with rubber
makes a fairly good pavement, the
commissioner said, and enables horses
to get a firm footing. The asphalt COM
pany would put it down and guarantee
its maintenance for Is years. The board
agreed to pay the extra cost, $1,000.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
Yet it Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
pepsia and Indigestion.

DR. Jennison, who has made a life
study of stomach troubles, says: All
forms of indigestion really amount to
the same thing, that is, failure to COM
pletely digest the food eaten; no mat
ter whether the trouble is acid dyspep-
sia or sour stomach, belching of wind,
nervous Dyspepsia or loss of flesh and
appetite; a person will not have any of
them if the stomach can be induced by
any natural. harmless way to thor
oughly digest what is eaten, and this
can be done by a simple remedy which
I have tested in hundreds of aggrava-
ted cases with complete success. The
remedy is a combination of fruit and
vegetable essences, pure aseptic pepsin
and golden seal put up in the form of
pleasant tasting tablets and sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these
tablets should be taken after meals and
allowed to dissolve in the mouth and
mingling with the food in the stomach
digests it completely before it has time
to ferment, decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat, eggs
and similar wholesome foods.
If is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known, by people
generally, it would be a national bless
ing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics
and nine-tenths of all diseases owe
their origin to imperfect digestion and
nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent madeleine, but a fifty cent
package will do more real good for a
weak stomach then fifty dollars worth
of patent medicines and a person has
the satisfaction of knowing just what
he is putting into his stomach, which
he does not know, when widely adver-
tised patent medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets full sized packages 50 cents.
