them. It has also been pointed out to him that the public confidence in Dew ey's judgement and patriotism would cIuse his decision to be received with out question by the people. All of these things Mr. Mckinley has acknowledged, and he would doubtless be glad to adopt and act upon the advice were it not that some of his political advisers have aroused his jealousy of Admiral Dewey as possible rivaEin 1900, and told him that Dewey must be kept in the back ground if he wanted to keep him out ot the White House.
 Not satisfied with reducing the salary of man who was at one time consider ed ompetent to fill the position of Chef Clerk, the Civil Service Commission has dismissed the man for criticism of his Superiors in of1ice-an awful crime, in the minds of his superiors. The aforesaid criticism consisted of an an swer made by the clerk E. D. Bailey, to public defamation of himself by the Commission. The commission has nev- CT forgiven Bailey for having exposed some its humbuggery when witness before Senate Committee, and has pro-

 Gen.

 That there is no limit to Spanish gall was shown by the unofficial objection made by the government of Spain to the selection of Senator Davis, of Minn., Chairman of the Senate Committee or foreign relations, to be one of the Amer ican Peace Commissioners, because his antl-Spanish views were too strong and too well-known. Were such an objec tion held 10 be valid, MT. Mckinley would have to choose for Peace Com missioners such men as Senator Yelling. ton, of Md, and Senator Hale, of Me, about the only two Senators who made their frlendliness towards Spain conspic ious during the debate which preceded the war. It will be all up with MT. Me Kinlev If every one of the five Peace Commissioners chosen by him, are not known to be strongly anti panish in their views. Already there has been some criticism of the selection of Secre- tary Day, for that very reason, but it has remained within bounds because it is known that Mir. Day will advance the opinions of Mir.

Yuma Sentinel. Young Miguel, the second son of ex-Chief Miguel, of the Yumas, who returned last week from a ten years sojourn at San Quentin, went to work last Monday on the section be- tween here and Ogilby. Tu sday even ing he was brought in dead, having succumbed to the intense heat.
 To well known Arizonian. Captain W. H. McKittrick, prominent stock man with range and cattle in the Sul- phur Spring valley, Cochlse county. was accorded the honor of hoisting Old Glory over the city of Santiago de Cuba, Captain McKittrick is an aide de-camp on the staff of Major General Snafter.
 The Tempe News states that G. s. Stewart has just purchased of the Bol- ton company 200 head of heIfers which he started for his range in charge of his foreman, John Rhodes. The late rains have so improved the range that sey- eral cattlemen are talking of increasing the number of their breeding stock.
 Stockmen: Cattlemen all over Ari- Zona have an eye on the territorial board of equalization to note what value will be placed upon range cattle. Acco- rding to the value placed on cattle by the county assessors, the average tig- ures range from SS 50 to $9 50 per head, which IS regarded as high enough but which we fear will be raised a notch or two.

Said They stole His watch, and
He identified o Watch Found by
the Police In the store.

The police were seized with spasm
of antipathy toward alleged auction"
stores, yesterday, when Frank Scha-

Guilty to the Charges of Man
slaughter.
In Patrick Kelly's case yesterday
Judge Otis filed a decision confirming
the judgment of the probate court in
the appointment of a guardian and re-
ceiver for Mr.. Kelly. The case has
been before the courts in one form or
another for several years and for some
months past the litigation has been
almost continuous. A number of law
yers have acted for Mr.. Kelly ST., the
last being Charles Butts.
The case was heard at length last
summer in the probate court, Judge
Harvey, of Minneapolis, sitting. Pat
rick Kelly Jr., asked on behalf of the
family that his father be adjudged in
competent and a guardian appointed.
1t was shown on that hearing that the
elder Kelly had, assisted by his son,
Patrick Jr., accumulated a considera-
BILE fortune from q piece OF property
he had bought on Dayton's bluff and
which had turned out to be valuable
as a quarry. His work in the devel-
opment of the property was greatly
assisted by the son, though the money
remained in the hands of the father.
Eight or nine years ago the senior KEEL
ly was worth sixty or seventy thousand
dollars About that time the senior
Kelly began to display signs Of mental
alteration the result of an injury sus-
tanned in a railroad accident He con-
ceived the idea that he was being
abused by his family and that he was
ri,.fiF r. LOT to d61Tar i've hi of
his property. In 1893 he was commit
ted to the insane asylum, but was re-
leased when IT appeared that his mania
was not dangerous. The litigation for
the control of his estate has been go
ing on ever since, though his decisions
have been of such subtle character that
he has generally been able to conceal
them from casual acquaintance. His
family Of nine children united in the
action to protect the property by hav-
ing it given over to the control of a
guardian. Drs. Riggs, Sweeney, Kill
bourne and Ancker have testified to
the mental incompetency of Mr.. Kelly
on the various trials and Judge Har-
Vey appointed the st. Paul Trust COM
pany his guardian. Then Mr.. Butts
went into the district court on appeal
In confirming the order of the probate
court Judge Otis said:
by reason of the loss and Imperfect
tions of his mental faculties said Pat
rick Kelly is incompetent to have the
charge and management of his prop
erty and estate. He Is Of unsound
mind and possessed Of insane de-
lusions which have become fix
ed and materially impair and affect
his judgment and make him very sus-
ceptible TO undue, improper and hurt
