SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Frank Moore Shot Three Times,
Two of the Wounds DAN
gerOuS.
Jesse Treat, a Fellow Engineer Did
the Shooting.

A shooting scrape occurred at The
round house in this place on the morn
ing of the 4th, between 8 and o'clock
in which Frank Moore, one Of the old
est and most popular engineers on the
Santa Fe Pacific Railroad, received
wounds which are likely to provo fatal,
at the hands of Jesse Treat. Bad blood
has existed between them for the past
eighteen months, over family matters,
and the tragedy which was enacted last
Monday morning has been expected by
all who were familiar with the circum-
stances leading up to it.
The particulars of the shooting as
near as we can gather them. are about
as follows: Moore was in the Office to
get a lay-of for the 4th. when Treat
came in to learn whether he was mark
ed up to go out. As soon as he entered
the room Moore began abusing him,
and finally pulled q 44-caliber Smith &
Wesson pistol, striking Treat over the
head two or three times, and at the
same time seizing him by the throat,
showing him up against the wall, Treat
begging him all the time not to kill
him. The pistol, after Moore had struck
Treat two or three blows. the pistol
slipped from bis grasp and fell to the
ground. While he was stopping to get
his gun Treat pulled his pistol and be-
gan shooting. He fired three shots,
each one taking effect, one in the fore
head over the right eye, one in the side
OF the face and one in the neck. All
the shots ranging downward, showing
that Treat was above him while doing
the shooting.
DR. Campbell was called Immediately
and had the wounded man carried to
his room, where he washed and dressed
his injuries, pronoQncing the case q
very serious one with but little chance
for recovery. The Doctor did all in his
power to alleviate his suffering and left
his patient as comfortable as the ma
ture of his wounds would permit.
Mr.. Moore's parents, who live in Al
buquerque were telegraphed for. as was

white, another representing Admiral
Dewey's flagship, the Olympia, with 9
crew Of boys dressed in sailor costume
another handsomely peopled with
young ladies.
At the conclusion of the parade, ad.
iournment was made to the stand where
District Attorney, w. H. Burbage, read
the Declaration of Independence, fol.
lowed by addresses by the Rev. Father
Connolly, the Rev. Norman Howard
Bartlett, and DR.. J. P. Booth, of Nee
dies, California. Each of these gentle
men are talented speakers, and were
warmly greeted upon their introduce
ton, and heartily cheered at their close.
A large chorus rendered patriotic airs
between the orations, with intervening
selections from the band.
At the close of the exercises adjourn
ment was made for luncheon. In the
afternoon all met again at the trotting
park where foot races, horse races, BIZ
cycle races and other sports were in
dulged in. Later IN the day a spirited
ball game was put up between two To-
cal mines.
The early hours Of the evening were
given up to fireworks and an inspiring
band concert until ten o'clock, when
grand ball was opened at the opera
house, which was kept up until the ear
ly morning hours. Thus sped the 4th
at Winslow.
No town in Arizona is more deserv-
ing praise for the manner in which she
observed our National Holiday than
Winslow. Not a case Of intoxication
was seen during the day. No loud talk
ing, no boisterousness nothing to mar,
but everywhere was kindly courtesy
for the stranger. and respectful atten-
ton to the enjoyment Of the ladies.
The band boys earned for themselves
the hearty appreciation Of every one.
They each and all are gentlemen, and
we trust the day is not far distant when
we may have the privilege Of hearing
them again.
To the excellent management and IN
firing zeal Of those having the day in
charge, the united thanks of the city
is sincerely given. They have estab-
lished criterion which the future, we
hope viii not fall short of.
We have city in which we may well
take pride Our citizens are energetic,
industrious, and above all manly. We
don't run much to the ornamental, in
men, dress, or department. We meas
ure people by their worth and working
ability. And with such foundation,
and such standard Of living, the fu-
ture of Winslow holds much Of prom
ise.

also DR.. Cornish, the chief surgeon of
the Santa Fe Pacific The father and
doctor arrived on No. the following
morning. After careful examination
of the patient DR.. Cornish pronounced
the case almost hopeless. Saying that
two of his wounds were of such na-
ture as to have killed an ordinary man,
but that owing to Mr. Moore's fine phy-
sique, rugged health and robust con-
stitution, there was a chance for him to
pull through.
Constable La Prade, who was near
the round-house ct the time, heard the
shots and saw the commotion they oc-
casioned, was almost instantly on the
ground, placed Treat under arrest and
took him before Judge McAllister who,
after hearing a statement of the facts,
released him on his own recognizance
to appear for examination, when the
result of the wounds was determined.
Treat is at this writing in Hol6rook
in charge of the Sheriff. He took this
step Of his own accord, there being no
occasion for it.
The above are the simple facts in the
case, as near as we have been able to
gather, and We give them without COM
ment or prejudice.
Mr.. Moore is an old resident Of our
city, is highly respected, and has the
confidence and esteem of all who knew
MIN. He has the sympathy of our en-
tire community in his misfortune, who
sincerely hope he may survive his in
juries.

Strange Sights in Foreign Lands.

Or. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
at the Methodist Episcopal church, the
Rev. A. NJ. Lumpkins, NJ. A., the distin-
guished literateur and European trav-
eler, lectured on "Strange Sights in
Foreign Lands" before highly apprecia-
tive audiences. The lectures, from lit
erary viewpoint, are scholarly, educa-
tional, abounding in anecdote, and
bristling with interest. But the per-
sonality Of the lecturer is the powerful
magnet which holds the undivided at
tention of the hearers.
A face strikingly classic; voice rich,
persuasive and magnetic; manner fas-
cinating and most entertaining all
these are the peculiar and remarkably
uncommon accessories of Mr.. Lump
kins.
The privilege Of q trip abroad is grant
ed but few, From the printed page one
gets nothing of the inspired beauties Of
the Orient. Written descriptions may
evoke the praise of critics but in no
wise DO they possess that subtle charm
which warns the heart and thrills the
emotions. The human voice alone can
move. Therefore it is little wonder that
as one parts with the lecturer at the
close of trip to the Tai Mahal, a visit
to the botanical gardens of Ceylon, a
half-hours conversation with the Sa-
cred Man of India, twilight reverie
within the jewel-studded walls of some
great temple, one finds it difficult to
shake off the impression of personal
visit to the places described.
The lecture field is overrun with in
different material and ability. The gen
eral public, having been duped by
frauds so many times, hesitates before
lending its sanction or presence to the
lecturer of to-day. Deplorable as it
may be, such feeling exists, and it re-
mains for just such sterling ability and
unequivocal merit as Mr.. Lumpkins
possesses to Danish this doubt,
Every college, school, young peoples
society and Sunday School IN the south
and west should welcome the privilege
of hearing Mr.. Lumpkins, not only
once, but in the entire course Of three
lectures.

A CLEANUP NECESSARY.

The city ordinances and the resolu-
tions of the city council sitting as an
organized board of health should be
rigidly enforced. If one should take a
trip around town taking the back
streets he might be surprised at the
amount of filth that is laying around.
The first warm days that come there
will be clouds of steaming putridity
arise and spread itself over this little
city and carry the germs of disease in
to many home. Some one will fall
a victim to the carolessness and apathy
of the city government or those whose
business it is to carry the law into
effect, but it would probably be called
malaria or some other kind of fever,
and the preacher at the funeral would
say that it was the will of God when
every intelligent man, woman and child
knows that it was the laziness of the
city scavenger and nothing else that
caused the death. These things may
not look so noticeable to us who are
somewhat accustomed to the rank
smelling and foul looking back yards
and alleyways; but to those who come
in from the pure air and magnificent
distances of the country and well kept
cities, it is simply awful, especially
during the warm days of the summer.
We do not mean to be personal and dc
not address these lines to the city
council any more than any one else
and we contend that it is the duty OF
every citizen of this town to assist in
every way possible to carry out the
known wishes Of the council in these
matters

WAR SITUATION UNCHANGED.

There seems to be us much uncer-
tainty about what the end of the con-
troversy between the United States
and Spain will be as there ever has
been. The presidents message which
was read to Congress on Monday does
not bring about the crisis that people
have been inclined to expect it would,
and to those who have argued that the
presidents delay in making the mes
sage public was to give Consul Lee and
other Americans an opportunity to
get away from Cuba before the storm,
which the declaration of war the
message, would virtually be, would
cause, broke upon the island, the
message will naturally be a surprise
inasmuch as it is more favorable to
peace than war and opposes the ack-
nowledgement of the independence Of
Cuba, while asking that he be given
the right to use all the military and
naval forces OF the United States if
necessary to stop the war.
The message will in all probability
cause more discussion in Congress and
delay any action being taken in the
direction of war than any documents
that has come before them since the
blowing upof the Maine, from the fact
that it involves questions that are de-
batable and not only so but will he
considered something of an innovation
in American policy. Some, who have
been with the president all along will
desert him now. Others who have
been opposed will probably side with
him now and battle royal will take
place on the floor of Congress in refer
ence to the subject matter OF the mes
sage.
Meanwhile the people of the United
States are waiting with rather poor
grace for something definite to be
done or said. The Spaniards are more
than likely using every precious mo,
ment perfecting plans for killing both
Americans and Cubans. The people
of Cuba are dying off by the hundreds
of starvation, caused by the Concen.
trado and other diabolical orders and
acts of Satanical Weyler and his sue,
