T0DAY'S TRAGEDY
Henry Decker Died BY His
Own Hand.
SWALLOWED MORPHINE
Was Desp0ndent Because He Had No
Means and Could Find No
Employment.

Tired of walking the streets in search
of employment he could not find, Henry
Decker, a w~orkingman, swallowed a
large dose of morphine some time last
night, from the effects of which he died
his afternoon.
Decker was distantIy related to Gus
Burt, an employee of the Montana Elec-
trio company, who resides at No. s
South Montana street. A few days ago
Decker told Burt that he expected to
leave town in search Of employment, and
until he did so, had no place to sleep,
and Burt, who had been furnishing him
money for his expenses, invited him to
his home.
Burt arose about $50 this morning.
Decker was in am adjacent ROOM, and
Burt spoke to him as he left the house.
He received no answer but thinking
Decker was asleep, went to his work.
About s o'clock Mrs. Burt called to
Decker to awaken him. AS she received
no answer, she went to the door of the
room. Decker's heavy breathing alarmed
her, and she shook him and dashed cold
water in his face, but could not succeed
i'm %arousing him. She sent for her hus-
band, who called in DR.. Haviland. The
physician pronounced it a case of NOR
phine poisoning and worked over Decker
for several hours, but could not save him.
Under Decker pillow was found a
small box containing a little morphine,
and on his fingers and under his finger
nails We're small quantities of the drug.
On the dresser was a glass. which was
marked with thumb-stains of damp NOR
phine.
Very little is known concerning Deck
er.He is a native of Germany, vas about
80 years of age, and had served in the
regular army, receiving his discharge at
Fort Douglas about five years CO.. He
came to Butte three or four years ago,
and had been employed as a laborer in
various capacities, earning a precarious
living. During the past three months he
had been without employment, because
of which he was very Respondent.
Decker died about 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon,

reverse it. The county attorney called
my attention twice to the Nixon ease,

MIGHT HAVE BEEN SERIOUS.

An excavation on West Porphyry street,
on which the regulation signal lanterns
We're not displayed, came near resulting
in a serious accident to DR.. Haviland
about 8 o'clock last night. The
ton is about 6 feet deep and has been
made for some piping. The doctors horse
ran into the hole and the buggy was
overturned, throwing him out on his head.
Fortunately he landed on a pile of dirt
and escaped serious injury. The horse
was badly hurt, and it required several
hours to dig him out of the trench. -

Attorney f. W. Beattie, ST., came over
from Helena this morning and before he
had been in town long bought a cigar
for County Attorney Connolly and ac-
knowledsed he owed it. Mr.. Beattie had
business at the county court house and
went direct to the building to attend to
it. There, in the corridor of the second
floor, he RAJ across MI. Connolly and the
latter said something about a few cases
of smallpox he had heard We're in the
city.
do not look surprised said the coun-
ty attorney. 1T is nothing when one is
accustomed to it,
Four or five roughly-clad men were
lined up against one of the heaters and
their faces We're red from the combined
effects of cold and heat.

county attorney.
Il do answered MIR. Beattie.
well, they all have smallpox and have
come here to get ticketed through to the
pest house,
Good day said Mr.. Beattie. Il guess
I'm a little early for business here" and
he gave the revolving door a push and
lodged into one of the wings outward
bound. Mr.. Connolly followed and when
next their gaze met on the stone stairway
outside the latter's face wore an express

wasted.

THE courts have decided that a glass eye is not sufficient deception to justify annulment of a marriage contract, even though it was con cealed before marriage. In fact most any kind of fraud can be prac- ticed by either party before mar riage and be made to stick after ward. And frauds are employed before marriage and openly avowed afterward, which would annul any other except marriage contract.

 Another sample of his prevari- cation is his assertion that THE OASIS quoted Mir. Holzinger as saying that regiment of cavalry would be necessary to take down Cameron's illegal fences in day. light. What THE Oasis did print was an item taken from the Citizen quoting MT Holzinger as having said that Cameron's illegal fences would come down if couple of troops af cavalry had to be sent from Ft Huachuca to take them down.

The editor and proprietor of the paper at Wilcox IS a prominent and dcvout Sunday school superintend- ent. This explains why the paper never tells lie; and can't do it. It is evident that other papers in different parts of the country would be greatly benefited if their editors were Sunday school superintend- ents. Tucson Citizen.

The Bisbee correspondent of the ProspectOr, in last Saturdays issue, says: Considerable excitement and Dpleasantness was caused yesterday forenoon by the seizure of the cattle belonging to B. A Packard by customs officials while they were be- ing shipped to Kansas. Over 2,0O0 head were held by the officials Of the government for reasons which were net oivulged although they were sub se0nently released upon the payment by Mir Packard of a sum of money, presumably duties. A peculiar feat ure of the matter is that MT. Packard absolutely refused to receive the cat Ile upon their release and permitted them Go toe turned out at large with out apparently taking any further interest in them How the matter will eventually be settled k causing quite little comment and curiosity
 Prospector: The peace and quiet of Bisbee was rudely shaken on Saturday evening by the occurrence of two tragedies, one killing and the other suicide In regard to the killing, it seems that for d long time bad blood had existed between the mistresses Of two bawdY houses ln upper Brewery Gulch and immediately opposite one another, This enmty culminated on Saturday night by one woman shoot ing and killing the other As the story goes. Irene Logan, the dead woman, visited the saloon in the house kept by Dora Garnett, although she had been warned by the other woman to keep away Sarcastic remarks led ! to cutting abuse and the result was the shooting and immediate killing Of Irene Logan. Both were consid- erably intoxicated al the time, so it is said. Dora Garnett, who did the shooting, is in jail. and fully appre- ciates the gravity of the crime being overwhelmed with grief for what she has done The suicide was q man named Mcintyre, who ended his ex- istence by morphine. He was discov- cred at an early hour on Saturday morning in dying condition by one of the company's watchmeu, and was immediately taken to the hospital where everything was done to save 1 his life, but without avail. He was a com parative stranger here and had be en noticed on several occasions as ac ting In a strange manner A sub l scription will be taken up to give him decent interment.

PASSING A MILE POST.

With this issue THE OASIS closes its twelfth volume and sixth year of its existence. Tke event could be no more signally observed than by the issue of the splendidly il- lustrated, elegantly printed and we'll prepared edition presented this week, descriptive of the home of the paper, the thriving, energetic, busy city of Nogales. and the new county of Santa Cruz, of which the city is the seat of government.
 As a city. Nogales, as county, Santa Cruz, are political entities of which all citizens may well be proud Although the smallest and young est county in Arizona, Santa Cruz has natural resources, now in course of development, which will within a very few years bring her to the very front rank. As a city No gales commands a position which has already raised her to a high degree of importance among the cities of Arizona, and wall very shortly make her one of the fore most.
 And in such a setting. amid such surroundings, why should there not be also a weekly newspaper ot which the people of the city and ol the county may be as justly proudl There is-and it is TIE OASIS. In all Arizona there is not a better or more attractive journal, considered from whatever point of view
 It presents to itsreaders the latest and most interesting news from a wide range of country, described and served by no other newspaper il is always presented in the mosl attractive style; it has always the courage of its convictions, not fear ing to speak openly and plainly upon auy topic of public interest and more than all 1t has always stood forth boldly for the advancement and upbuilding of the town o Nogales, the region tributary to th' town, and for the county of Santi Cruz.
 lu the excellent work which ha' in the past occupied the attention and energies of THE OASIS it vii i continue unfalteringly. Its motto hae been always Forward" Il ! the seventh year of it's career, now approaching, that motto will b' ever kept ill view-not only for thu paper, but for the town, the county and for the people thereof. Tn OASIS has always given Nogalei and Santa Cruz county "the best il the shop" and it will continue to d. so. And the best has been alway' the best money could buy. ThS high standard maintained in the past will continue to be maintained and will be raised higher.

Mir. S. J. Holzinger, special agent oi the interior department. a char acteristic letter, of which the fol- lowing is copy;
 LoCHrEI-. Ariz.. April 2I, 1899. MR. $. J. HoLzINGER,
 Prescott, Arizona,
 DEAR Your letter dated April the 10th and sent in a registered envelope find on my table today upon my return home. You are a little late in notifying me to remove tue Yerba Buena pasture, for your friend George Atkinson and his associates of like ilk cut tue entire wire surrounding the enclosure into pieces sixteen feet long. They chopped off above the ground all the posts surround ing the pasture aud burned 2Soo posts that 1 had piled up inside of the field belonging io me and 400 helong to another man. They did did this in the darkness of he night. just at the same time that other murderers take to commit their crimes.
 In the same manner. they cut all the wire, but did not cut the posts, surrounding the Pouero pasture, and l not only have not put up the fences, but have spliced the wire, raised the posts and hauled them away. 1 wish to say in conclusion that l never put up any fence what soever that I was not properly and i legally authorized to build. Further ! I never maintained or attempted to maintain any fence except under ! the law. Mir. Faxon. the owner Of these fences, instructed me inn mediately after losing his case i'll the Supreme Court, to take down and remove these fences. as soon as II conveniently could, and the i scouudrels who destroyed his property, every one of them, knew that the fences were to be removed at once.
 You can read in THE OASIS that your friend Bird claims that you advised and counselled and en- couraged the dark-night destruction of MT. Faxon's property. I did not see his articles, but am told that he quoted you as having said that a regiment of cavalry would be necessary to take down the fences ] if it was attempted ill daylight, and I suppose you would be surprised to be told that most of the readers of Birds paper believe that Bird was quoting you truthfully.
 Yours truly,
 COLIN CAMERON.
 Tn the above readers of THH OASIS may see how impudently and brazenly MT. Cameron distorts facts and misrepresents his own attitude. THE OASIS is assured most positively by men who are ir position to known that there are still on the Potrero pasture mile: and miles of fance, which are il legally standing upon the public domain To read the foregoing 1 letter one would believe that pooi Cameron is terribly persecutec gentleman who had fallen among
