THE CAUSE OF SHOOTING.
Today's tragedy was the elimination OF
one of those quarrels so common among
people residing in tenement houses. ir

insistent that this should be kept closed

FOUGHT OVER BURIED RICHES
Four Men Struggle Desperately, Then Find It Was All for
 NnuHht.

The buried treasure of Hermit John Harris provoked a terrific fight be- tween four men at the late residence of the recluse, No. 324 Spring avenue, Omaha, Neb., the other afternoon. The police responded to a riot call, but when they entered the cabin they found nothing but a crowd of boys, an old keg fl lied with rusty nails and considerable blood. The participants are unknown to the police.
 Harris died a week ago and there were rumOrs that he left much money buried around his home. Since then gangs of men and boys from the neigh borhOOd have been digging around the floors for the treasure. Four men were seen by boys tearing up the floor of the cottage. They were digging around and unearthed a large keg. Instantly a row was started, as they thought it contained gold During the battle the keg was broken to pieces and a pile of rusty nails were exposed instead of the hoarded gold
 The riot call was turned in by Jo- seph Simms, who witnessed the fight, but when the police arrivedau the men had disappeared. One of the survivors procured Q wagon and placed two of the injured men in it and drove away. The other man walked off,

LOCOMOTIVE CARRIES A JONAH
Engine on the Wabash Road Which Is Feared by Every
 EmpIOye.

Engine No. 174, which was recently placed in the Wabash shops at Peru, Ind, for repairs, has a longer list of casualties to her credit than any other engine on the road. The engine is known as the "Pru Jonah," and was built at the Wabash shops as a matter of experiment. It proved to be one of the fastest engines on the road, but it was scarcely pat into active service un- til it went through a culvert eastOf the city. A short time afterward the en- zine was in a rear-end collision, in which several people were injured. On the first trip out after being repaired No. 174 cOllided with another engine, and two more men were added to her list of killed. After this accident oc- cured the engine was sent back to this city and arrived here in time to suffer another accident in which sev- eral men were injured. A number of minor accidents occurred soon after this, and the engine was sent to the Chicago division, where it has kept up its reputation for both speed and casualties. On being removed from the shop this time the engine will be sent back to the Chicago division. as the railroad men are superstitious con corning it, and truly believe as soon as the engine hears this city it is pos sassed with the evil one.

Autumn Thoughts.

Pitter, batter upon the roof,
 The sound of dead leaves falling
 down;
 Blighted, killed, yet never withered Rustling gently toward the ground. Fairest corpses by the millions Lying sweetly on the gronnd;
 Million others fitting softly,
 With the sweetest, sadest sound. Far more dear in death than living, Smiling brightly meath the sky; God has laid His hand upon you He hath said that you must die. Far more sweet in death than living. I see my hopes all lying round; Blasted, killed, yet ever fairest, In brilliant heaps upon the ground. 1 had thought then everlasting When my life was warm with love; But Thou sent a frost to kill them From out Thy wisdom store above. God, Thou mighty incarnation Of Goodness and Beauty and Love, Why lay Thou Thy hand upon me, To take from out my life my love? God, lowing heard before Thee And watch the dear hopes dying, fall; l will nurse my pain in silence Before Thee, God, who knoweth all.

Instead of mar rying the girl according to the rites of her tribe, he is said to have decoyed her to his camp in the mountains and kept her there against her will. She finally escaped to tell the story and Wilson fled. He was overtaken and carried back. As a punishment for his crime it was ordered that he be put to death by a method common with the MayOs. The prospector was stripped of his clothing and bound across an ant hill infested by large red ants. After many hours of hor- rible suffering as the insects slowly gnawed away his flesh Wilson expired. Wilson was reputed to be a fugitive from justice from Oklahoma.

FATAL HUNTING'TRIP.
Only Son of Mr. and Mrs. ". w. Cook
 Accidently Killed Near Phenix.

In all the joyous exuberance of boy ish spirits at the prospect of holiday hunting trip, Joseph Cook, the young son of Mir. and Mrs. W. W. Cook, of 473 North Fifth avenue, started early Sunday morning, accompanied by a young friend, for a trip to the river. A few hours later he was frightfully wounded by a shot from his own gun, and died short time over one hour afterward.
 His companion, Burrill Hatcher, the son of w. H. Hatcher, of West Capitol addition, helped the injured boy to a house near by and hurried to the city for physician, but the latter, despite desperately rapid drive, arrived too late to be of aid.
 Mrs. Cook was notified that her son was hurt, but was not told of the dan gerous nature of his wound. She started to drive to him but the physi- clan brought the body in on another road and the mother returned home to find her son cold in death.
 Last night a messenger was dis patched for a fifty-mile ride over the desert and through the mountains to find the father and break to him the news of the end of his only son.
 Such is the story in brief of one of the saddest accidents which it has ever been the duty of a Phenix news paper to chroicle.
 II am going to bring back enough doves for a Sunday pot pie" said young Cook to his mother, as he and Hatcher started away, equipped for a day in the river bottom. Tlr boys rode in a cart which Ras but little more than a sElkey withNIats in the bottom for thefr sfeet to sAst upon. Cook drove, and they carried their guns between them, the stocks resting on the slats. Hatcher's gun was m- loaded. They drove west on the Yuma road for five miles to the river.
 After lunch and trying their luck for some time and having shot rab- bit, they started to fordsthe river, which at that point carries consider able water. They were half way across when Cooks gun, hammer merless weapon of fine make, started to slide through the slats. Holding the reins with his right hand Cook reached with his left for the gun, grasping it just as the muzzle pointed at his breast. In some manner the safety lock was slipped off and the gun exploded, the charge of No. 1 duck shot entering his side just above the heart, tearing a fearful hole and finding lodgment in his left lung. Hatcher was unhurt, though his right side touched Cook. The head of the latter fell forward on his breast and with low moan he sank to his knees in the bottom of the cart, but retained his grip on the reins. Hatcher sus- tained his cOmrade as best he could and drove to a Mexican hut nearby. where Cook was lifted to the ground and given what treatment could be afforded by the rough but kindly people, while Hatcher drove with all speed that was in, Cooks horse. to the city, where he secured Dr. Thomas and hurried back,reaching the Mexi- had tainted. and died twenty minutes later.-Phenix Republican.
 The subject of the above is son of W. W. Cook, formerly a resident of Prescott.

Grand Canyon in Color.

The JOurnal-Miner is in receipt of a very handsomely gotten up book with the above caption and it is one which should find a place in every home. The following notice of it from the Denver Republican de- scribes 1t so beautifully and accurately that 1t Is quoted as better than any thing we could say of it:
 Frank $. Thayer, of Denver, pub fisher of many delightful souvenir volumes of Rocky mountain scenery, has achieved a triumph in his latest offering.
 "Glimpses of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado" is the title of Mir. Thayer's latest offering, and it will be wanted by the favored few who have visited the Wonderland of the West, and by the thousands who have not been so fortunate, but who are satis- flying themselves with artistic repro ductiOns of America's grandest seen cry. "Glimpses of the Grand Can yon" required many months in pre- paratiOn, and the result justiies the work of the publisher. The volume Is a superb example of the latest trichromatic color process photo graphy. It embraces fifteen color plates of large size, mounted on mist gray antique paper, with deckle edge tops and interleaving titles on hand made Japan paper. The cover Is semi-fexible and is decorated in black and white. Nothing more artistic in the way of photographic reprOduc- ton of landscapes has been offered, and the fact that it is a strictly Colo rado production in every sense adds to the importance of the publication.

In the official section of the machine " exhibit at Vincennes is a locomotive manufactured in America for the state. The action of the minister of public works, NJ. Pierre Baudin, in ex- posing such an exhibit has aroused considerable feeling among the French engine builders, who were at first dis pleased with the government for hay ing recourse to American skill and then resented what they considered to be ,,n official advertisements of their Amer ican competitors. NJ. Dansette, repub- hcan member of one of the divisions of Lille, who represents important man ufacturing interests, voiced this dis content the other day in the chamber of deputies. demanding to know why the government was thus advertising a foreign manufacturer ito the detri- ment of French engineers"

CAMPAIGN OF DEFAMATION.

The managers of the democratic campaign show that they are running very low on campaign ammunition, as they have started on the rounds of the democratic press a scurrilous personal attack on Governor Murphy. To show how uncalled for an attack of this kind is, it need only be stated that up to date but few papers have been found that will publish it, not but they would be perfectly willing to do 50 if it would initiate against Gov enor Murphy, but they realize that this kind of politics acts as a boone rang, and will do him more good than harm. It is in line with Bryan, and his democratic supporters quoting Lincoln now, after all the malicious personal abuse they heaped on him years ago. A notable example ofthe lat ter is furnished by the Bucyrus, Ohio, Forum which following thelead of Bry- anhas been laboringwith great zeal to prove that Lincoln in his day accepts ed a position with reference to certain public questions substantially the same as Bryan occupies at the pres ent time. Yet on July 31, 1868, over three years after Lincoln's assassina- tion, this same paper contained kbe following about him:
 Abe Lincoln is the worst charac- ter that history gives any account of. To call him brute is libel on the dog. He cannot be characterized truly by metaphor. He must be dess scribed. God marked him as ssignallyas He did Cain; not because that all men might slay him lone man was found for that duty,) but that all might be- ware of him. Omnipotence could add nothing to the loathsomeness of his person * * * As is the the invariable rule in such creations, the inner man was as hateful as the outer When he was shot -four years too late happily he was embalmed-I and ten years hence his neck may be found strong enough to hold his body on the gallows tree, as has happened to tyrants heretofore"
