the county Jail. Joseph Gallagher
has a bruised head, Thomas Gallagher
some scratches and Mrs. Gallagher has
her arm bruised. All sustained their
injuries during the melee.
At the inquest last night the follow
ing Jurors listened to the evidence: $.
$. Jones, E. J. Neary. William Morri-
son, p. II. Murray, ]. r. McAndrew
and w F. LOTUS. The witnesses were
examined by the Coroner Roberts. John
Gallagher whose wife, mother-in-law
and sons are in Jail for the killing
was present and sat beside Attorney
Joseph O'Brien, who has been retained
to defend the accused. Mr.. O'I3rien
did not make any effort to examine the
witnesses. He contented himself with
taking notice of the facts brought forth
by the questions of the coroner and
jurors.
Constable William Bradley was the
first witness sworn. His testimony
was sadly mixed up. He contradicted
himself several times. OF one thing,
however, he was quite sure; that Is,
he was too excited to notice who threw
the stones. He saw quinn fall, he
said, and went and picked him up. He
did not make any effort to separate
the fighters or arrest any of the parti-
cipants afterwards. Bradley has been
neighbor of the Quinns and Gala
ghers for years.
SAW NO STONE THROWING.
Mr.. Cobb was standing in his lot
short distance from the scene of the
fight at the time it occurred. but could
not tell who threw the stones. Thomas
Cummings, who was mixed up in the
fight as a peacemaker and was hit in
the side and on the shoulder with
stones, was also unable to say who
threw the stones.
Thomas Garden was nearby, but saw
no stones thrown. He saw the women
walking away, but their backs were
toward him and he could not identify
them. A young man named Hughes
testified that he recognized the women
walking away as Mrs. Gallagher and
Mrs. Dempsey. The jurors after con-
sidering the evidence returned the fol-
lowing verdict:
From the testimony of the witnesses
summoned and appearing we find that
the said James p. Quinn came to his
death from being struck by stone
hurled by some person to this jury un-
known during a riotous brawl which took
place near Powderly's on Sunday, Aug
l3, 1899, at y. m, in which Joseph Gal
lagher. Thomas Gallagher Mrs. John
Gallagher and Mrs. Paul Dempsey were
| implicated on one side and James T.
Quinn, ir., and James p. Quinn, ST., on
the other side.

LACK AESTHETIC TASTE.

OF all the races peopllng this mum
dane sphere not one has such an eX-
traordinary spirit of imitation MS that
which inhabIts the Philippine Islands,
according to the Manila Freedom. This
race of people, of Malay origin, which
occupies all the archipelago of the
Celebas Sea, lacks the aesthetic taste
necessary for the proper combination
of colors, constructive ability, uni
formity in architectural designs and
the good taste which Is required for the
culture and advancement Of n people.
They have no ideas OF this kind OF
their own, and in all matters OF taste
do nothing more than what they see
in races Of the west
Any one who has observed the Fill
pinos will have noticed that they have
no Ideas at all In regard to the proper
combination Of colors In their wearing
apparel, as, in spite of their dusky
clothing the colors which are least
suitable to them. You will see Indian
girls and half-breeds as brown AS
berries using in their dresses and
scarfs such colors as blue, green, yell

Indian girls dressed In such bright

The reason why these people cut
this ridiculous figure Is that they see
these bright colors on European wo-
men, and, without thinking OF the eff

produce, readily adopt them and con-

SEVERE DRoUTH IN TEXAS.
Lack of Moisture Will Decrease Cotton
Crop One-Third.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 15.-The long
drought which has blighted Texas for
two months past and which was only
partially broken in places Sunday, has
been most seriously felt in its reduc-
ton of the cotton crop of Texas. II
has been carefully figured out by e%.
perts here that the yield will now not
exceed a bale to 3 acres, which will
make the crop this season nearly two
million bales short of the crop OF last
year, which was 3.555, 900. The season
is now too far advanced for general
rains to change these figures At
Waco and Fort Worth the river is SO
low that the city electric and water
works plants were compelled to shut
down Thursday and there seems TO be
little chance for them to resume oper-
atoms soon again. There has been
considerable loss Of live stock.

What is the matter with the Arizona newspapers? Although the president of the Rough Riders association, Col Onel Brodie, resides in that territory, the newspapers in the adjoining com monwealth hardly know that such big event as the first reunion of the Rough Riders will be held at Las Vegas in about ten days. The Citizen don't like to criticise too severely in ealing atten- lion 10 this lack of neighboriy love, and will only state that the Arizona news papers have undoubtedly overlooked the Rough Riders reunion in giving news to their readers. Albuquerque Citizen.
 The newspapers of Arizona have done and are doing what they can to adver- tise the Rough Riders reunion. The trouble lies with the Rough Riders. Many of them have not yet recovered from the effect of the campaign of last year and consequently evince but little interest in the affair. Out of the nalf dozen Rough Riders who reside here not one of them intend attending the Las Vegas reunion. The rank and file who spent the greater portion of st year in the service of their country. are not in condition financially to attend the reunion.
