The list OF officers killed and wounded
shows that while the British victory was
complete, il was bought at heavy price.
This heavy IS among the officers was
due to the valiant conduct in sticking to

Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 22.-War betweed
{ Americans and Mexicans broke out
again this afternoon at Naco, Ariz., with
disastrous results. Naco lies partly in
Mexico and partly in the United States
and has mixed population. Bad blood
has existed between the Mexiran and
Am erican officials since the Erecent dis
turbances, when party OF cowboys res
cued one Of their number from the jail
across the border.
This afternoon, just as a baseball ex-
cursion from Bisbee was about to leave
Naco Mexico, fight started between
Mexican guards and American cowboys,
and as a result four Mexican guards
were killed AND one seriously wounded.
An American named Ryan was instantly
killed and a miner was shot through the
leg.
The fight resulted from row on the
Mexican side of the line between Ameri-
cans and Mexicans. The guards at
tempted to arrest the Americans, who re-
treated toward the line, Just before they
reached the line the guards opened fire,
which was promptly returned A lively
battle occurred, lasting fully fifteen min

the line.

-Four men from the gunboat Mariyelos
were lured ashore Is miles from Iloilo by

Havre, Mont, Oct 23.-A shooting af-
fray occurred here about 2 a. m. Sunday,
by which three men were wounded, one
Of whom died last night, and another
likely to die.
Eugene Snyder, day foreman at the
round house; John Foster, night fore
man, and gambler named Hopkins got
on spree and went into a
house together, where they they began
to play seven-up and shoot craps for

Snyder became involved in dispute
with Hopkins, in which the latter said
that whoever called him a liar must
fight. Whereupon Snyder retorted that
Hopkins had a gun, and could afford to
be defiant At this, Hopkins pulled out
his gun, and threw it under the table.
One version of the affair says that Sny-
der ran and picked up Hopkins discard

drew gun of his own, and threatened

SAINT JOHN THE
BAPTIST HIS THEME

Rev Father T. Caraher Of St Francis
Church preached an able sermon on the
life of St John the Baptist yesterday
morning at the II o'clock mass. Besides
being the Sunday within the octave of the
feast of the Saint, it marked the twenty
sixth anniversary Of the well-known pas
tors ordination The sacred edifice was
crowded as usual Father Caraher took
for his text: John is his name: Luke
The musical programme was a feature
Of the services. Following are a few ex-
cerpts from his interesting address:
The name Of John signifies one favored by
God. Our saint was called John because he
was exceedingly favored and privileged by
God. Our Lord summarizes the Rraces and
privileges Of st. John when he says Amen,
I say 10 you. there hath not risen among men
tnat are born OF women greater than John
Our saint is also called the Baptist for the
reason that he preached the baptism Of pen
ance and baDtized Lord and many Of the
Jews in the Jordan. This baptism Of st. John
was not the same as our sacrament Of bap-
tism, but was only external rite or ablu-
ton that signifed by its effects upon the body
the interior cleansing Of the soul by penance
proposes a shining virtue for our meditation,
but I will only dwell upon his virtue penance
and modification. The Baptist had not only
preached modification, but also practfced II
in an eminent degree. In his youth he forsook
the world and the comforts OF home and fled
into the deserts Of Judea, where he led a
most austere and penetential life.
The speaker then went on to describe
St. Johns mode Of living and food and
drink he commended with while carrying
on his penance.
The Baptist remained in the desert until his
thirtieth year and then left his place of re-
tirement 20 baptize and preach penance. The
place where st. John was born is situated
about six miles TO the west of Jerusalem 1t
belongs to the Franciscan fathers who have
there an imposing church and monastery II
my great privilege to celebrate mass in
the crypt Of the church where st. John was
born and to administer holy communion to a
number who assisted at the mass. About eight
miles west Of the place Of his birth is the
desert where he spent the greater part OF his
honey.
II we aspire to the happiness Of ST. John
the BaDtist we must practice in some degree
at least his modification in food and clothing
Never yet did saint reach heaven that was
not given to penance and self-denial. From
the days of John the Baptist until now fine
kingdom Of heaven suffered violence and the
violence beareth it away

Frank WigfaII's Cow
ardly Deed.
BADLY WOUNDS WESLEY KIBY
DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO COM
NIT MURDER.
Prepares to Finish His Work When
He Is Disarmed-His Victim
May Lose Limb-No Cause
Is Assigned.

A dastardly, unprovoked attempt at
cold blooded murder occurred at the Pre-
sdio yesterday afternoon, when Private
Frank Wigfall, Company H, Twenty
fourth Infantry. deliberately shot and
wounded Private Wesley Kiby OF the
same regiment. The shooting was I'M
warranted and Kiby had no warning of
Wigfau's murderous intentions until he
felt the bullet from one of the deadly
Krag-Jorgenson rifles crash through his
leg. Only the prompt interference of COM
rades saved Kiby's life, for when Wigfall
saw that his first shot had failed Of its
purpose he deliberately reloaded his rife
and was preparing to shoot again. when
Private Clarke wrested the weapon from
him and handed 1t to Corporal Wallace.
Wigfall made no attempt to resist arrest,
and while he was being taken to the
guardhouse by several soldiers others
picked their bleeding comrade up and
carried him TO the post hospital.
The shooting occurred at c clock. while
the men of Company II were in their
quarters preparing for evening roll call.
Wigfall was sitting upon his cot and
4 by was across the room from him
backing his shoes. Suddenly Wigfall took
his rifle from its rack upon the wall This
did not attract any one & attention. for 1t
IS common thlng Tor the soldiers TO nan
die their arms. One of the other men in
the room saw him slip 4 cartridge into the
magazine Of the rifle. and before the SOL
der realized what he was doing he saw
him take deliberate aim at Kiby. An in
slant later Nigfall fired and Kiby with
a yell of pain dropped to the floor. The
suddenness of the cowardly deed so took
the men by surprise that for moment
they were unable to realize what had hap
pened. but when they saw Wigfall again
reload his rife and prepare to take a sec
Ond shot Private Clarke sprang upon him.
No one seems to know what caused
Wigfall to do such a Cowardly deed.
There was no bad blood between KIbY and
WiEfan that any Of the men know of.
They are both in the same company and
have their quarters in the same building.
Some Of the soldiers Of the company de-
clare that Wigfall had been drinking. but
that he was not sufficiently intoxicated
not to have known what he was doing.
He was Immediately taken to the guard
house. where he was placed in close con-
finement and no one was allowed to see
him.
Major AIoseley. the surgeon of the post.
examined Kiby's wound. The bullet en-
tered the right leg a few inches below tho
knee and passed entirely through the
bone. Kiby was so affected by the shock
and pain that the major refrained from
making a thorough examination until to-
day. The knee cap is affected. and from
the examination made ii looks as if it was
so badly shattered as to necessitate am
putation Of the leg. Morphine was admin
istered To kiby TO relieve his pain and AT
q late hour last night he was resting qu-
city. Colonel Freeman will make an Of
fetal investigation of the affair to-day.

REV. FATHER WYMAN
DISCUSSES ST. PAUL

At the II o'clock mass yesterday morn
ing Rev. Father Wyman of St Marys
PaulisO Church delivered an interesting
discourse on one of st. PauTs epistles to
Timothy. In part, he said:
For l know whom have believed. and
am certain that he is able to keep that which
have committed to him until that day"
These words express the intensity of St.
Paurs faith and hope. They were written
during his last Imprisonment; the hand that
penned them fettered by chains and they
were addressed to his beloved disciple and
worker. St Timothy of whom he speaks most
tenderly in the same epstle, and whom he
declares he remembers daily in his prayers
The faith set forth in these words Is not,
however, peculiar and personal to st. Paul
himself but belongs essentially TO all Chris
tians 1t might be objected that who had
experienced such miraculous conversion,
wrought such miracles and had converted such
multitudes by his preaching could thus speak
for himself alone. But whatever knowledge
and grace was given to St. Paul belongs 10 the
church and his personal experiences is one of
her strongest credentials. His faith
certain as his hope and charity.
II has been said by a distinguished modern
