"Bucky" o'Neill.

The fnpnlx tepuDilcan puDilsnes the following concerning the career of "Bueky" O'Neill, who was one of the killed in the battle of last Satur- day:
 "Bpcky" O'Neill of Washington, D. C., was many years a departmental off cer and later an active congressional attorney. Twenty years ago O'Neill went to Santa Fe, N. M., as a court stenographer. He came to Phoenix in 1880, but immediately whence no one knows. He came in the garb of a Cath ollie priest and there was story that he had lately performed clerical duties in the City of Mexico. His life after that was an open book. He was dis tinguished for his energy and his good- ness of heart. The name 'Bucky,' by which he was familiarly known, was acquired in manner which ordinarily ought not to be described, yet in his case it is well to describe it, for if he had not earned that name he would probably not have led his troop of Rough Riders up the fatal slope to- ward San Juan last Friday. He was fearless and tireless gambler, so he was called 'Bucky,' yet, as he told the wri- ter less than a year ago, he had not tempted fortune as in the old days since 1891.
 "Here is an incident of his good heart edness. One day he was defending man in the police court in this city. Midway in an impassioned plea stranger, ragged and disreptutable en- tered the court room. As soon as Buckv saw him he quit his argument, crossed the room and held brief con versation with the stranger and went out with him, making no explanation to the court. Afterawhile he returned alone and resumed his plea. After he returned alone and resumed his plea. After court adjourned he said

 to have no money, a usual condition in those days, and he had gone out to bor- row $5 for him.
 About 1885 O'Neill went to Prescott and three years later he was elected sheriff on the republican ticket. His term of office was distinguished by relentless and successful pursuit of train robber, who was overtaken in Utah. After this he settled down to business, made many fortunes and lost them in legitimate speculation. He was offered the republican nomination for delegate to congress in 1892, but de- clined it, for he had already veered to- ward populism. Two years later he was nominated for delegate on the pop ulist ticket and made surprisingly strong race. Two years ago he was again candidate and made still stronger race, though handicapped by poverty, for he was often unable to pay his stage or railroad fare to the next town or mining camp. Since then n mining project was successful and it is estimated that aside from his valuable real estate holdings at Adams and First avenue and at Washington and Second streets his estate Is worth $3O.OOO.
 He took early interest in the cause of Cuba and when war with Spain was declared, became the foremost of the Rough Riders and captain of Troop A.
 'O'Neill's personality was most pleasing. He was about thirty-seven years of age, of handsome figure and face and of a persuasive voice and man. ner. He was brilliant writer on de. scriptive and argumentative subjects. but though his command of language was exhaustive, he was singularly pot an orator. Like Sulla, he was .con. fused in the presence of popular assem- blies.' Captain O'Neill leaves a wife

Their Little Scheme.

is about all they are spending by the

were extremely high, but as the por-
tions served were known 10 be gener-

economy decided that the order OF each
one should consist of simply a single
portion Of some dish which Should be
divided among them all. one ordered
consomme. one ordered a steak. The
third ordered chicken salad. The dishes
were served, and the eye of the waiter
took in the scheme.

whatever was the proper thing i'm those

apparatus, artificial flies and reels and
swept the river near Glasgow and a
beautiful fish arose, and when he had
gated it and played II he brought II to
st. Mungo, and in it's stomach was found
the ring. Thus the queens honor was
saved and probably her neck, and that

So The couple met by accident on Fri
day evening, when Engel, who is a shoe
maker, closed up his shop and went to
make a call on the village barber. Mrs.
Barckley. who had resumed the name
OF her third husband after her divorce,
is an aunt of the barber and was a
guest at his house. Engel and Mrs
Barckley were mutually attracted, and
after short conversation he suggested
that they should get married Mrs
Barckley was willing, and they started
at once for the residence OF the local
minister. He was not at home. but that
did not dishearten the couple. They
boarded an electric ear and after a ride
of four hours reached the home of Rev.
Il. o. Tree pastor of the Congregational
church at Windsor, who at once per.
formed the ceremony which made them
man and wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Engel dis
pensed with the formaltes Of a honey
moon and after their marriage went at
once to Mr.. Engels home.

The fondness OF women for rings is
easily understood. IL is as old as the
hills; as old as Solomon himself. BY
the bye. apropos of Solomon, the Tai
mud tells a story of d ring which he
wore. IL was a wonderful emerald with
some mystic characters engraved upon
IL. and on his keeping this ring de-
pended his kingdom. one day when
he was in the bath he took his pre-
cious ring off and put IL on shelf.

him and stole the ring. The flend Hat

took the form of King Solomon and
ruled the nation. Solomon was dis
tracted. Everybody denied him. but at
last he did something wonderful in the
way OF an incantation. The flend grew
frightened and threw the ring into the
sea. Naturally n fish swallowed It. A
fisherman caught the fish, recognized
the ring. gave IL 10 Solomon, and he
had his kingdom back. Unfortunately
the Talmud doesn't say what Solomon
did TO Amina. but as strangilng wife
was not thought much OF IN those days
1t h. fair TO imagine some such little
contretemps occurred.

The Omaha girls are all right. At any

1t says that one of them was skating,
or trying to skate, over the lagoon with
her best fellow. She staggered and
wabbled and wayered, and her Ascort

physically--in keeping her in perpen-

she dropped upon one of the benches
by the side of her chum, and her escort
skated off after n cigar
Good gracious Sue!' exclaimed her
chum. II thought you were such
good skater. What on earth is the
matter with you this winter?"
The girl who had just seated herself
