Arriving there he met Mexican and told him he would pay $l0 for fresh horse The Mexican reported to Mr. Slaughter, who started to meet Finley, but learned that the man had moved to a point a mile away. MT. Slaughter then phoned to Bisbee and Justice Williams re- sponded: Finley is wanted. He is a desperate fellow and is probably we'll armed. You are authorized to make the arrest"
 Calling the Mexican and another employe, MT. Slaughter, all armed, went out to the place which had been designated and saw Finley apparently asleep, under tree. Going up to the prostrate man Slaughter snatched a Winchester which lay by the side of Finley and cast the gun several feet awag. Then slaughter said to Finley, "You are under arrest" whereat Fin ley suddenly turned over facing slaugh- ter and presented gun cooked and ready to fire.

HE WANTED TO DIE.
But DOdged the Bullet Sent by
 His Own Hand.

Melquiades Lopez, barber by occupa- tion and about 30 years old, attempted to commit suicide Thursday evening in the Roma saloon at Firsstreet and Mon roe. Lopez has been married for few months and has had trouble already with his wife This made him desperate. He entered the saloon and wanted to buy revolver of the bar tender, who offered to sell him small weapon Lopez demanded howitzer and refused the gun as being too small. The drink mix CT then produced an affair that looked to be closely related to Gatling, Lopez seized the weapon and sucently placing it opposite his head, shouted. "Good bye, boys and pulled the trigger.
 As it happened however, Lopez dod- ged the bullet by bending his knees, and the only damage done was to his hat. He was arrested and brought be- fore Justice John Stoe, who ordered him sent to the county jail over night
 Lopez will probably be tried today on a charge of disturbing the peace.-Gazette.

 then went to H. J Hutchinson's store
 and corral where he had left his horse and his weapons, and demanded that
 the outfit be given him; saying that he
 had to kill d-d nigger and tall

 ferent Februaries sineo tho parent of our country came into existence, some of them good and some not so good. Washington has dled, but the principles for which he liv- ed and fought are like Februaries, they live, they endure. People who are soulful of that which goes to make up the right, will bow their heads to mother earth on the 22nd of this month and thank the grand Control Il CT of all events for the privileges of having known that George Washington was born that he was an American and a primary democrat. The Chinese, Indians, Japanese-why should we enumer- ate-all the people of all the world love the memory, the deeds, the life and the spirit of George Wash ington.

No one since him has ever risen to the place where he could truthfully say "I am first in war first in peace and first in the hearts of my countrymon. " That man so wellfixed in all that is human should have to die, is an evidence that the Allwise being needs the recall of the spirit which he once imparted, to order the kingdsm of the blessed.-Ex.

emigrate to Virginia and settle there.
was at the office OF the Commissioner
of Agriculture, in Richmond, few days
since.
1t consisted OF two gentlemen OF that
State, who called to see Commissioner

Virginia in which to purchase farms
One of them recently wrote to Mr.
Koiner for information regarding the
advantages the State offers the farmer,
and were so pleased with his reply that
they came on to investigate.
They say that what they have seen
so far leads them to believe. that no
false impression was created by Mr..
Koiner's letter. They say that the
Virginia fever is raging to a greater or

gentlemen now here. II favorable, they
