 Junction.

Among the passengers from the north yesterday was a young man named Lee,' f Hot Springs junction, about as badly l disorganized person as has lately came to town unattended by coro- ner's jury. His left arm was broken, me side of his face was swollen out of all propOrtion.to the other, which itself was covered with knots and bruises. Mr. Lee had come for the dOu- )le purpose of being mended and caus- ng the rest of the men who had rend- ared the making of repairs necessary. They Ware. Lee said, two brothers. F.. L. Gibson and F. N. Gibson, who keep tore at the junction. Lee said he had lad some trouble with the GibsonS arly on Monday evening, but when he eft them he supposed that the dispute had been settled. or at least there was m armistice. He went to bed in a cor al About 10 o'clock. he said, the Gib- sons came around and woke him up. One of the brothers was armed with a gun and the other carried club and a antern. The lantern was used as a search light to locate the enemy. When they got through with him and went away, Lee was very much awake. He couldn't go to sleep. He had a case of insomnia and has not felt drowsy since. He crawled out and washed some of he blood off and waited for the train tO Phoenix.
 Justice Gray issued a warrant for the arrest of the Gibsons. A telegram was received from them in the afternoon. saying they would be down this morn ing; the story, they wired, had two sides.

AS TO STATEHOOD
A Suggestion Submitted Yesterday
 By Governor Murphy.

Governor Murphy. who returned yes terday morning from short visit to the coast, was interviewed by report CT for The Republican on the matter of statehood. The governor makes aL attractive suggestion by which long de lay and great expense may be avoide, in the attainment of the end for which Arizonians have been striving.
 Said the governor:
 Some years ago the legislature of Arizona by enactment authorized ar election to be held for delegates to constitutional convention. Delegates were elected, a convention regularly held, and constitution framed which was subsequently submitted to vote of the people at an election dull called for the purpose, and adopted by a large majority. A bill passed th' house of representatives for the ad mission of Arizona as a state, predi- cated upon the constitution as frameC and adopted by the people of the ter ritory. Objection was made in the sen ate to certain clauses in the constitu tion, and admission was refused by tha body.
 Tt is evident that in order to be ac- ceptable to the congress of the United States several changes are necessary ir the constitution IS adopted. In the main it is satisfactory. l suggest tha as the enactment of q law for neN constitutional convention will take long time and involve considerable eX pense, the different county committees democratic and republican-or, if pre- ferred, the different county conventions each name one delegate to meet in convention at some suitable place il the early future; at which they shal either collectively proceed tO revise tn constitution formerly adopted. elimin ating its objectionable features, anc make such additions as changed con ditions require, or, appoint a commit tee for the purpose.

A MOST UNUSUAL DEATH
Was That of Carmen Peralta Who
 Died at Midnight.

Carmen Peralta, aged 36, late living on Monroe street, a half-dOZen doors east of First, and the mother of four teen children, died at midnight of a death which does not come to one wO- man in a million. Her fourteenth child survived her, born of a method more rare than the Caesarean operation. The particulars, however interesting they may be of this wOman's death, may not be printed in a newspaper or a novel, though, no doubt medical journals throughout the United States and the world within the next few months will describe it technically and in de tail.
 The woman retired at 10 o'clock cheerful and well. There was a noise on First street soon after II o'clock, arousing her. of boys boist stsrously play ing. She was awakened suddenly and in alarm. When she lay down again she seemed to have been quiated and treasured and dropped into sleep from which she aroused an instant priest was sent for and a doctor. The priest arrived first and pr. w. l.. Woodruff five minutes later. The wo- man was then dead, but the priest said he had felt her pulse beat barely a minute before. The priest asked if the living child could be baptized. The doe tor did not know, but within five min

TELESCOPED A CHINAMAN
Railroad Train Prepares a Celestia
 For Deportation.

There is one Chinaman to whom life is anything but a grand. sweet song" He is nameless to certain extent. and the suggestion that he is called Sing Hi is repudiated by Chinese Inspector Jossey, who is morally certain that his name is Sing Low, says the Tucson Citizen.
 The particular Chinaman iran the border" successfully and was in fair way to found a laundry and accumu- late a competency when the train hi; him, and now he doesn't care abou! either laundries or competencies. Be ing a contraband he couldn't ride on the trains without fear of detection so he decided to walk from Benson tC Tucson. While on his way he had tc cross a trestle, and, picking his way over the ties. the cannon ball" came along and knocked him off the bridge and into the arroya and incidentally nearly into the middle of next week.
 Bruised and bleeding he was gently gathered up by the train hands an6 taken to Benson, but the consequent publicity Was his ruin. Inspector Jos sey heard about him and various Unit ed States officials took a peek at his scared anatomy and discovered that he had no business in the country, so aside from being run over and more ol less mangled by the train. he is to be sent back to China. which, at this par ticular time, is undeniably hard luck

My limbs and arms would tWitch and
jerk until it was impossible to remain
in bed. Such was my most miserable
condition when in June Of the same
year, I began taking DR.. Miles Re-
storative Nervine. The first bottle
greatly improved me; my nerves be-
came quiet, the twitching, jerking
sensations were no longer apparent,

that I began alternating the Nervine
