A JusTIFlABE HOMICIDE.
Stephen Ruff Killed by Tombstone
 Chinaman.

Chlnaman.
 On Saturday evening about o'clock n tragedy was enacted in the Chinese restaurant on Allen street whereby one man is dead and another is at deaths door with bullet hole through his lungs. The dead man is Stephen Ruff, well known cattleman, and the wounded man Sam Chung, the pro prietor of the Chinese restaurant. The particulars of the affair as learned by Prospector reporter and also ad- dueed at the coroner's inquest is that Ruff was indebted to the Chinaman for four meals and was denied further meals until he paid his account. Ruff, who had been drinking, became angried and left the restaurant. He arranged to leave town and returned shortly afterward to the restaurant with his winch ester and sixshooter. A few minutes after his appearance in the restaurant he was heard to gruffiy ask the Chinaman for meal, and the latter expostulated because of the previous debt. The shooting immedi- ately began. Five shots were fired and it was found that Ruff was dead, i having three wounds on his body, one through the heart, causing instant death, and two others intestinal wounds. His hand still clu:ched his pistol, having fired one shot, and the 1 pistol was full cooked when he re- ceived the fatal wound through the heart. The Chinaman named Sam Chung, was shot through the left lung, the ball entering hisc chest and it's exit near the spinal column. The wounded Chinaman is in precarious condition and may die, though up to present writing he is still alive.
 The coroner's jury upon hearing the evidence rendered a verdict to the effect that Ruff met his death by gun shot wounds at the hands of Sam Chung and the killing was justifiable homicide, having acted in self defense, This sentiment was heard generally expressed on the street by those who acquainted themselves with the facts
 Ruff was formerly foreman of the Erie Cattle Co.,, was quiet citizen but when in his cups was of quarrel. some disposition. The Chinaman was industrious and peaceble and it is most unfortunate that the tragedy occurred.-[Tombstone Prospector.

Annex Arid America.

From the Los Angeles Saturday Post.l
 Two hundred million dollars spent in reservoirs, water systems and to preserve the natural forest reservoirs would have made productive a vast extent of the arid lands of the West. It would have made home for millions of Americans. Every dollar would have finally been paid back in public land sales.
 How Los Angeles would have grown, with the deserts east of us made pro ductive by waterl How much better to have expended the two hundred million dollars thus. than to have wasted it in distant Asiatic venture How much wiser to have made homes in America for Americans than to have made soldiers graves in the Philippines for Americansl

BRAVE FOX SAVES
LIVES YESTERDAY
The Mounted Police Captain Risks
His Own Safety to Stop
Runaway.

Tie Mounted Police have reason to
be proud of their captain, A. A. Fox.
Yesterday he prevented a disastrous
accident to the wife and daughter OF
Attorney General Cooper, by acting
with celebrity and bravery, at a moment
when the greatest of perils menaced
the occupants of the Cooper carriage.
Mrs. Cooper and her daughter had
just stepped into the carriage at the
Oahu Railway depot, when the horse
suddenly dashed forward, and crashed
into a Chinese huckster's wagon. A
wheel of the buggy was smashed, but
the force of the impact did not deter
the frightened animal from continuing
on his mad flight in the direction of the
bridge over Nuuanu stream. Captain
Fox saw the running horse and the
careening buggy which was on three
wheels. He galloped swiftly after the
runaway, and reaching its side, leaped
from his own horse to that of Mrs.
Cooper, landing on the animals neck.
Ills OWL HOISt, "Itu llctu,
out of danger, and thus saved itself
from any considerable injury from the
shafts and wheels.
With the bride reins in his hands,
Captain Fox put all his strength into
Juggling at the bit and effectualiy stop
ped the animal just as further progress
was checked by another Chinese de-
livery wagon. No further damage was
done the phaeton, and happily, no harm
came to its occupants. The horse re
ceived some nasty cuts where 1t had
come in contact with the two wagons,
but was not seriously hurt. Captain
Fox's black charger was unfortunate
in receiving some bruises while run
ming alongside the Cooper horse. The
wheels rubbed the skin off in places.
Captain Fox was only very recently
appointed to the high position he holds
in the police department, but since his
connection with 1t, he has made an eX-
emplary officer and commander. His
able work in connection with the Board
of Health Office during the plague
period brought him into prominence
with the Attorney Generals depart
ment. and his appointment as captain
in the mounted patrol soon followed.
Yesterdays affair showed the material
the captain was made Of.

SYDNEY PEST.
The Situation When the
Mariposa Left.
Two Hundred and Four Cases and
Sixty-Seven Deaths--Under
Control Rats.

A dispatch to Auckland from Sydney,
dated May 10, says that the president of
the Board of Health at lIat city sta,
that there are indications of the bu-
Donic plague epidemic coming within
control.
Two and three cases a day continue
10 De reported, however, in Sydney and
the surrounding districts. A man has
been quarantined in Melbourne, and it
is suspected that he is suffering with
plague.
An Auckland paper says:
The mail steamer Mariposa arrived
from Sydney yesterday, and after land
Ing her mails at Motuihi, came I'D the
harbor and anchored at the powder
ground, no communication being per-
mltted with the shore or the steamer"
When the Mariposa lett Sydney there
were lO4 plague patients in the hospital.
Nearly all the victims are young white
persons. The death rate is compare
lively small. Nearly five thousand rats
nave been killed in Sydney up to date.
Inc Sydney Herald of May 9Th says:
lhree fresh cases of bubonic plague
was the total for yesterday. There have
also been two deaths, both Of them in
the Quarantine Hospital.
In all probability some twenty pa
tlents Will be removed today from the
hospital to the convalescent home at
the quarantine station, thus giving
more space in the hospital. OF the pa
tlents now in the hospital, the general
effect of the daily report of the medical
ofncer Is encouraging. Most of them
have taken turn for the better. and
there would seem to be probability OF
their restoration to nealth..
The number of rats burned yester-
day was GIL, a falling off from the total
OF the previous day. Mondays total was
also less than that of the day preceding
IL. The catchers re distributed all over
the city and suburbs, bur there are
scores of amateurs who bring their con-
tributions and receive for their trouble
the capitation fee. Some outcry is be-
lng raised because persons carrying
dead rats are said to travel by trans
and other public conveyances, and a
movement is afoot to secure the estab-
lishment of receiving deoots in all sub
urbs, where persons may deliver their
spoil and receive payment
This is the Sydney plague record I'D
