Almost Killing at La Luz. N. N

A man who spent the greater part
of last week visiting Alsm0g0rdo,
La Luz and Tulsrosa, informs HER
AID man that almost q killing occurred
at La Luz, on the 3rd inst.
It appears that Deputy Sheriff
Kearney was stationed At La Luz to
keep the peace;" in order to do this
more effectually, he appointed two
special deputies, as aides. During
the day, it further seems, that Mr..
Kearneybecame tooenthusisstic and his
patriotism bubbled over. When re-
monstrated with by one of his aides,
Deputy Kearney lost his temper, drew
his gun and thrust it at the aide, who,
on the alert. turned aside the muzzle,
just before the gun was fired. Stirred
with just resentment, the aide quickly
drew his own gun and struck Deputy
Kearney a stunning blow on the head.
which laid him out for q time. After
this incident peace and quiet reigned
supreme.

WASHINGTON. July 12.-Thoussnds
of teachers attending the National
Educational Association convention In
this city were disappointed in their de-
sire to see Mckinley. TT e receptions
scheduled to take place both Friday
and Monday were not held. The rea-
son is that the war claims almost
the entire attention of the president.
He has kept in touch with every detail
of the operations before Santiago, and
negotiating terms of surrender and
preparations for the final assault have
entailed a great amount of work. A
slight psleness is noticeable by those
who have not seen the president for Q
year, but he is as vigorous in action
and agreeable in manner as when he

whistle when 1 heard my fireman give
a yell. He did not cali for brakes, but
! slapped on the air the minute l heard
him. He had seen a man beside the
track, though he had not seen any one
struck. A moment after l applied the
brakes / saw a man shoot no into the
air Oh my side of the cab. He was as
high as the smokestack when l saw
him. He came down on the freight
train which was running along on that
side and was carried a mile before he
fell off. My train stopped in about two
train lengths and the sight that l saw
when l got out was the most horrible
L have ever witnessed. The dead and
Dl8ngled were lying on both sides of
the track just as they had been thrown.
I I did not see them until after we had
struck them. 1 did not see them come
on the track and until my fireman

which caused Utah to be looked upon
with adherence by the rest of the

element in the Mormon church seems
to have been entirely overcome. The
state stands accused of bad faith in it's

from paying poll tax:

Judge Timmony, City:
Dear Judge: [ am impressed there
is either q fee or a steal in this poll tax
notice that has just been served on me.
I have not been called to pay this tax
since that great statesman, Tom Maloy
presumed to collect it. 1 am glad an
old man Gin at least one period of his
life) is exempt from a tax. Humanity
today is taxed to death, and soon
expect to learn that a meter will be
placed at our mouths, taxing us for the
ozone we inhale.
Judge, if you could see my gray
head and the furrowed cheeks, the
trembling voice and lettering walk, you
would not ask me for this tax-S3 Great

amount since the war. In few days,
