hrnrsnl she and the conductor differed

The very proper suggestion is
made that the members of the Leg
islatlre should return to Montpelier
Monday and get to work instead Of
making several holidays on account
of the presidential election. A bill
providing that all the officials and
members of the House can vote at
Montpelier will be a law before next
Tuesday. An adjournment until
Wednesday is therefore unnecessary
and the members might, protitably
to themselves and to the state, fore
go this holiday. They are not need
ed at home and should keep at work.

Two reports from Nogales state that
Willie Rusk. who killed mis- wife in that

officer. but one OF them says he was
shot by the officer. while the other says
he was not. IL is true that the killing
was done in Mexico and he escaped INTO

Mexican officer shot several times at
him. the bullets tearing the myers
from one of his hands. The other says
that the officer just shot over his mead

No woman who lived afterward was

Montgomery at Phoenix She was rid

a horse. which was standing hitched
at the side of the street. backed To-

across the street car track just as
car came along She was knocked down
and people who saw the accident turn

body along the track in front OF II
about twenty feet and then the motor
man got il stopped. When the car
stopped one of the front wheels was
pressing against her neck IL was not
likely that the car. had IL not been
stopped would have pushed her any

the exception of a few bruises.
SHOT A CRAZY MAN.
While Deputy Sheriff II. j. Barge
man. of Navajo county. was taking
Robert McCourtland. an insane man to
the hospital at Phoenix the patient
tried to escape from him and the depu-
~ sheriff shot him. probably produc-
ing a fatal wound. They had arrived
upon the hospital grounds and were
alighting from the carriage when Nc
CORTLAND made his break for liberty.
Bargeman says he shot at the ground
behind the insane man with the inten-
ton of soaring him. but the bullet re-
fiected upward and passed through his
body The direction the bullet took
through McCourtland's BODY supports
the officers claim. as it entered his
back just above the right hip and came
out at the left breast. Bargeman is
known as a good and brave officer and
it is not believed that he Intentionally
shot McCourtland. He is deeply
grieved over the affair. McCourtland
has been terroriZing the vicinity of
Holbrook by prowling about bowling
like some wild animal every night for
several weeks. Deputy Sheriff Barge
man was sent to capture him. which
he did with the above results.
