Three Shots Serve to Stop
Dugan'S Attentions.
WOMAN WAS IN EARNEST
Bullets Went Wide of Their Mark
But Frightened Unwelc0me
Suit0r Away.

Mrs. Johnson, a handsome young wo-
man who resides on South Arizona street,
this morning took three shots at Frank
Dugan a persistent and unwelcome ad-
nlirer, who has been forcing his atten-
tons upon her for a year or more. The
plucky little woman meant business and
it was not her fault that the bullets went
wide of their mark. The shooting had
the desired effect, and Dugan's sprint to
get out of range was something beau
tiful to see.
Mrs. johnson called at police head
quarters this morning and had a warrant
issued for the arrest of Dugan. She
wants him put under bonds to keep the
peace.
She says Dugan has been making her
life a burden by his unwelcome atten-
tionS for a year or more. She is mar
ried. lives happily with her husband. and
has no time for Dugan.
Her statement is borne out by the po-
was arrested at her request. He pleaded
guilty n admitted to the court that he
loved Mrs. johnson, and when under the
Influence of liquor could not keep away
from her.
Mrs. Johnson's husband goes to work
early. He left home at s o'clock this
morning. A short time after his depart
some one tap on her bedroom window.
It was Dugan.
"Who is there?" she asked.
"It is me-" replied Dugan.
Just as the woman pushed the curtain
aside to look out she saw "a stick of
wood leave Dugan's hand, and an in
slant later it crashed through the VIM
dow. Thoroughly alarmed, she picked
up a revolver n fired point blank at
Dugan. who was not more than ten feet
from her. How she missed him is
a mystery.
The unmasking of her battery aston
ished Dugan and he began a hasty re-
treat. And as he ran the nervy woman
sent two more bullets whistling by his
ears, which did no damage, but served
to accelerate his speed.
When the smoke of the pistol had been
waited away and Mrs. Johnson realized
what might have happened had her bull
lets ound their mark, she was fright
ened, and was happy because she had
not wounded her tormentor. But she
knew that she was in the right, and at
once called on the police n asked to
nave Dugan put under bonds.
II have never given this man occa-
sion to pay me any attention" she said
this morning at police headquarters. II
met him about.two years ago and he has
no right to annoy me as he has persisted
in doing. It is little short Of persecu-
Ion Only a few weeks ago I came up
town one evening to do some shopping.
I met him and he followed me about
until I met a friend and told him the
circumstances and asked him to escort
me to my home. He did so. and away
down the street Dugan, who had fol-
lowed us, called out, I'll fix you some
time; not now!' He has threatened to
kill me and l am afraid of him and I
want protection"
And tears came into her eyes as she
told her story.
A warrant was issued for Dugan's ar
rest.

full in obtaining the favor. It now
seems that h bishop in person will be
able to accomplish what he could not

that The relics Of popes and martyrs are

the diocese of Helena. You should un-
derstand that Catholics do not worship
the saints. but they honor Them a. they
and their relics. therefore, are of special
significance to the members of the faith.
We honor the remains because durine
life, they haze by the grace of God
been the instruments Of much good; be-
cause they have often met with fearful
time of their death for the faith OF
Christ. and because we believe that af-
ter the general resurrection they will en-

Prompt action by Sheriff Davis, Of this

not msterialized. and it is not now believ-

made tonight.
The prompt and decisive action on the
part of Mayor Morgan and Sheriff Davis

Fearing that angry citizens would wreall
summary vengeance on a buriy negro brute

no word was received from Sheriff Davis

SHOULD BUILD
MORE WAR SHIPS
Mr. Lodge Not Prejudiced Against
Government Plant, But Vessels
Should Not be Delayed.

WASHINGTON, May 1l.-No disposi-
ton has been made as yet of the navel.
appropriation bill by the Senate, but af-
ter an aIl-day discussion an agreement
was reached to vote on the armor-plate
section at 5 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.
During the days discussion a notable
speech was delivered by Mr.. Lodge, OF
Massachusetts, upon the necessity OF
building up the United States navy with
out delay.
The pending amendment.- when conside-
ration of the naval bill was resumed was
that of Mr.. Tliman, for a straight price
of $500 per ton for armor, and a govern
dnent :srmor factory costing not over
ts4,000t01.
Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, speaking
In opposition to the amendment, said that
fol the past three years the senators frcm
South Carolina and New Hampshire CAlr.
Tillman and Mr.. Chandler), had been en-
deavoring 10 get ar,nor at a low price. The
net result of their work had been TO put
stop 10 the construction of a navy. He
had no prejudice against a government ar
NOR plant. but to stop the building Of all
ships until the armcr plant could be erected
would. he thought. be a fatal mistake.
SAFETY DEPENDS ON IT.
NV reasons for desiring more ships,''
said he '.and desiring them quickly. is
my belief that the safety of the United
States depends upon the strength of our
navy We do not need the navy for the
protection of our insular possessions. The
danger lies in our great coast line and in
the defence of the Monroe doctrine in the
Western continent: for the defence of this
great coast line and the cities situated OH
il we have no adequate fleet. We are
about to enter upon the construction of an
Isthmian canal, TO defend, construct and
operate which we must be the naval mas
ters of the caribbean Sea, We must have
a far more powerful fleet than we have
to-day The safety of the canal depends
upon our fleet.
"A great fleet is the greatest insurance
of peace We should not close our eyes
to the possibilities of the situation. We.
could never allow the Danish Islands to
pass into any other hands than ours
The European nation which should un-s
dertake to take possession of those is
lands right on the road to the canal, and
to make of them great naval stations.

of ours We could submit to no such
