A CHINESE FRESHMAN.
Natura,ized At Tucson Last
 Week.

A most novel and interesting aprii-
 cation was made before the district
 court yesterday afternoon, and So far
 as can be ascertaired, It is the first of its kind ever made in the United States. Attorney Charles Bienman
 appeared for Thomas Quinn and ap- piled to tLllaf court that he become Q
 naturllized citizen of the United States. Qutnn's father was a China
 man, An Quinn by r3me, and his Mary ReffeIty. He was born under the
 British flag and produced his certif- cita of birth which showed on it's face thets his father and mother were not married and that consequently he was an illegitimate child. MT Blenhan admitted that the Chinese exclusion act and the r2tu- ral.zal.ion acts strictly prohibited citizenship to a Chinaman nC5 born in this country or to any pe-s0n of Chinese descent. But in Q long and Interesting argument MT. Blenman concluded shat under the common law and also under the laws e the Un- ed States, as applicant was no body's son. and therefore had no father in the eye of the law, but that h1 must .llze his origin and his nasicna-jy y solely from E's mother. Many authorities were cited in sup port Cf his construed on and the court considered them so conclusive that t was ordered that Gu m WAS ent;.lsd to be Iaturaliz:d. Me5srs. c. H.

A UNIVERSAL CODE.
Whereby the World Holdc Communf-
 cation.

MT. H. W. Rogers of New York, special agent for the Western Union universal international cod5, arrived in the city yesterday morning. Thou sands of dollars have been spent in trying to establish a universal code, put this is the first entire success. The code was compiled at a cost of 518,0G0 and is so complete that any conceivable message may be sent by it to any part of the world. Tn a talk 1t the Hotel Adams yesterday after noon, MT. Rogers said:
 ITO make a universal code, the main point, and the point you must ac- cOmplisn is circulation. Now while a publisher may possess the capital and obtain the talent to promulgate a good code, he invariably fails in the circu- latiOn, because he has not the facili- ties for distribution. The A B. G. 'Liebers' and the A r probably take precedence above any of the publish CTS of codes, but after years of labor .hsir circulation is comparaUi lively small. When I cite to you the fact that the Western Union Telegraph company has 22.O00 offices in the United States alone, and that the Vest eIn Union telegraph code will be ac-

THE MAKING OF A COUNTY.
Attended By Great Trial and TTib-
 ulatiOn.


 TEsre was quite a dramatic scene in the rooms Of the board of supervisors yesterday afternoon. It all came | about over fixing the salary of the probaie judge and the chief jailer of the county Peck and Noon voted the highest salary that the law allows ! for the probate judge, and would not allow more than $40 a month for jailor MT Atkinson thereupon made quite a speech ito the board Ln very friendly tone, stating that in his jUdgenlsnt it was unfair and unjust; that if the county could afford to pay the probate judge the highest salary possible under the law, that the sher- if should be allowed a sufficient amount with which to employ good deputy .o act as chilaf jsLor, and tha,- he hoped that the board would forgC5 their factioral fights and simply at tend to the business of the county in the most expeditions manner p0ssI ble, and thereby save the county much useless expense. He said in his judg- ment, Lt was false economy to spend days and days over 3 littH5 Mct-er of letting contracts for a few books, etc., while the board was taking from the county each day the sum Of S15 as wages, auU tLai lie. 1GE one, WISu6u u settle down and get ,to business and quit doing politics.

In reply Ing to Chairman Moons assertion J1Is sev- eral people had protested against the salary as proposed for the J4llc-, Mr. Atkinson declared that no person had been named as supervisor on any proposition which interested the coun- ty. He believed That they shGuld go on and use their Cwri best judgment Tn all matters coming before them. But Ii. seemed that he was up against it" When he found the decision of the majority unchangsable he tender ed his resignation, stating that he could net, and would not, ac5 as sup srvt.sor, when the majority was 50 clearly unfair, and controlled by out side Influences.

A FATAL ACCIDENT
frank Befz of Glendale Shot Himself
 on Sunday Evening.

Frank Betz, aged IT, fatally shot
 himself at the Agua Fria watering
 tanks on Saturday afternoon shortly
 before 6 o'clock. While leading a bi-
 cycle across the trestIe, a shotgun
 which had been strapped on, was jared loose and as it fell to the
 bridge the hammer struck a tie and
 exploded the shell. When the shell exploded the discharge struck the
 saddle bag. whence it glanced and
 struck Betz full in the face, mutilat- ing it badly. The, muzzle must have
 been very close to the saddlebag, for the reason that the hole made cor responded closely in size with the caI- lber of the gun, and the inner por- tIon of the bag was ignited The force was so terrific as to crush most of the tools. The bicycle wrench was bent at right angles and thrown upward so as to bend the frame of the wheel. After expending even so much force, practically the entire charge must 2aVe struck the unfortunate boy.
 Young Betz had been sent by his father to some mines forty miles from Glendale, and on the way he met a boy named Russel Baker They Wer returning from the trip when Betz's tire was punctured and after walking for some distance his com panion concluded to ride into Glendale and get H. L. Betz, the father, to come to meet him with a wagon: Young Betz continued his walk for short distance in company with a foot traveller, but when the two came to the Agua Fria tanks the latter stopped for a drink, while Retz con i cluded to push his wheel across the bridge. He had net proceeded far 1 when the accident occurred.
 The man with whom Bei-Z had been ! walking hurried to the spot as soon as | he heard the shot, and found the boy lying across the ties and underneath | the bicycle. The man thinking him dead carried him over to the tank, 1 and there he saw signs Of life His ! father arrived soon after with the . wagon, but seeing his condition Isft i word to have him sent in on the train | while he drove to Glendale, where he i had a doctor in readiness. When the train arrived with the boy at o'clock ne was still living, but he died within an hour, never regaining conscious ness.
 H. L. Betz, the father, has resided in Glendale for number of years. He IS the owner of a brick yard. The lead young man was well liked The funeral services were held al o'clock yesterday afternoon at: the Dunkard | church, Rev. H. B. Layman officiating.
