Shooting SCRAPE IN MULLAN
THE ASSASSIN WAS KILLED
Deputy Sheriff Hit BY Three Bullets
Shot From Ambnsh-Omcer Returned
Fire With Fatal ResuIt-Jack Powell
the Victim.

Wallace, Idaho, April 1.-Two dem
uty sheriffs were shot at from ambush
in Mullan. One officer was wounded
three times. One of the assassins was
killed by the officers.
Deputy Sheriffs Jim Rose and C. n.
Williams were walking down the street
together when party of men fired
from ambush, two balls striking Rose

whlrled and began firing in the direc-
ton from which the shots came. 1t
was too dark to see anything, but from
the shots fired it was thought there
were three men in the assailing party.
Williams emptied his revolver as the
men were heard running, and then
turned his attention to his wounded
comrade.
Sheriff Sutherland was immediately
notified by telephone and with Deputy
Frank Rose, brother of the wounded
officer, left for the scene of the shoot
ing as soon as a team could be hitched
up. Two bloodhounds were taken up.
but they could not follow the trail.
In the morning, as soon as it became
light further search was made. About
100 yards from where Williams sup
posed the men to be when the shooting
began the body of Jack Powell was
found. Further back the officers found
a revolver together with a hat and a
cane on the trail.
The hat and cane belonged to an
other of the party, but the revolver
was instantly recognized by Sheriff
Sutherland as one that he had loaned
Deputy Pipkin several months ago
when he was at Mullan as a state dep
uty. Pipkin was assaulted one night
and the revolver taken from him. It's
whereabouts since had not been known.
Powell was an old timer in Mullan,
an ex-prize fighter and an all round
tough. About a month ago he was ar
rested here and put up a revolver and
$45 as bail, which he forfeited, having

WALLACE Idaho, April 16.-The re-
cent tragedy at Mullen was followed by
one at Gem. The assassin was successful
in his aims. He is now at liberty with
little prospect of ever being apprehended.
George Fisher was last nights victim.
He was shot down at 10 o'clock in the
heart of town on Main street between
two populous saloons, without attracting
attention.

A Long Trip.

The total distance Travelled will be
about l0,500 miles, crossing % states and
territories and touching the Gulf of MeXi-
co, the Pacific ocean and the great lakes.
Twenty-seven railroads are embraced in
the itinerary.
Wherever feasible the state capitals will
be visited. Local programs are arranged
covering the cities at which extended
stops are made. A feature of the trip
will be a substitution of drives for re-
ceptions, thus more fully accommodating
the people than would be possible at a
short reception. The reception commit
tees will be received at the cities they
represent, the various local committees
having cordially cooperated in this re-
spect, as well as in others, in an endeavor
to make the journey of the president and
his party a most enjoyable and interest
ing one While the president may make
short addresses at several of the largest
cities and some of the colleges and univer-
sites, it is not at all likely he will make
as many speeches as have been delivered
in the course of previous trips.

4 SensAtio Story-

Burt Gibson, a hunter, came to town yesterday. Gibson has been figuring in a sensational story which got into circulation soon after the discovery of the body of John McCarty, when charges began to be more or less pub licly made that the remains were not those of MT. McCarty, but we're part of the property in plot to defraud in- surance companies to the amount of S2S,0OO. Gibson was known to be in the neighborhoOd of McCarty's camp at the time of his disappearance. For a long time Gibson was not heard from by any person in this part of the coun- try. It was known that he and Mo- Carty were unfriendly, so that when the body said to be McCarty's was found suspicion was uttered that it was the body of Gibson and that he had been killed by McCarty in furtherance of the alleged life insurance plot.
 When the body was brought here it was said by some of those who had been hunting for it that at the time of it's finding Gibson was alive and we'll in his camp, about four miles away.
 That story was doubted by acquaint- ances of Gibson, and the doubt was not removed until he appeared in the flesh punching a lot of burros yesterday morning.-PhoenixR Republican.

Our Now Railroad.

A company has been organized in Phoenix to build railroad from that city to Benson by the way of Florence, to be known as the Phoenix and East ern, the distance being about 25O miles. Mir. Frank M. Murphy, presi- dent of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix, is at the head of the Organi- zation, and the directorate of the two roads will be much the same. The surveying party in charge of Mir. Leroy Orton, which left Florence two weeks ago, is now in the neighbOrhOOd of Kelvin, thirty miles east of here, and has run a very satisfactory line that distance. It will hug the Gila river and will have no heavy grades. At the box canyon of the Buttes, where the river runs through gorge and n akes bend, two bridges will be built across the Gila, which at this point is less than l5O feet wide, with solid rock abutments. This is really the only difficult problem on the pro posed road, and Mir. Orton has solved it to his entire satisfaction. The work of the engineers has been most thorough, in some places us many as three lines having been run. The survey so far bears the stamp of being anything but preliminary, and when it is completed, it is safe to say, the plans and estimates will be ready for the contractors.
 Mir. Murphy is now in Europe, but will return next month with ample capital for the entire construction, which will be pushed from both ends. Florence Blade.

Prescott's New Water Works.

The ten days official test of the Del Rio water system was finished on Sun day, September l5, at l o'clock p. m.. and the city's special engineer, w. w. Follett, on behalf of the city, accepted ihe plant from the contractors. The machinery worked to perfection, while the amount of water pumped daily ex- ceeded the amount called for in the contract.
 The general verdict of all who have witnessed the plant in operation is that work done by the contractors being highly satisfactory and creditable to them.
 Last September the city council pur- chased the Baker and Banghart ranches at Del Rio springs, twenty miles north of Prescott, in the Little Chino valley, in order to obtain title to the water rights of these ranches. There are four ranches furnished with water from these springs, each ranch, by court de- cree, owning all the water every fourth day. The city thus has all the water for two days. During the drought last fall the combined flow from these springs amounted to 2,5O0,OOO gallons in twenty-four hours. It is now little more than this, but under 5000, 900 gallons. The city has a permanent water supply sufficient for many times it's present population.

GOV. MURPHY RETVRNS.
Denounces Yellow Journalism Says that Statehood Is Within tho
 Reach of Arizona.

Governor Murphy returned yesterday morning from an eastern trip of sev- eral weeks. When asked for an inter- view upon the death of President Me Kinley he said the event was too hor' rible to be talked about calmly yet. It was, Tn his opinion, more paralyzing than the assassination of fGarfeld-even than the assassination of Lincoln. President Mckinley had brought a glorious war to close, and in his ad- ministration the country had been filled with unparalleled prosperity. Mir. Me- Kinley had gained not only the conti- dence but the love of the country, so that his death entailed the loss of not only a great head of the nation, but its good friend.
 Governor Murphy, speaking of his late interview in the Chicago Inter- Ocean, on the shooting of the presi- dent, said he had not expressed himself as strongly as he desired. In that inter- view he said that the maligning of the president and public men by a partisan press, the printing of outrageous cari- catures and cartoons, were contribu, tory to the feeling which inspires mur- derers of public officials. This is not a freedom of the press of which we boast, but a dangerous and disgraceful li- cense. The proprietors of the yellow journals, Governor Murphy believed, were only little less guilty of the mur der of President Mckinley than Czol- golz, who only actually fired the shot.
 The governor was in Chicago on his way home at the time of the shooting. He waited there until there seemed no doubt of the presidents recovery, and resumed his journey. He was so cOnfi- dent the president would get we'll that when he heard of his death on the train on Saturday the shock was as great as the news of the shooting when it was reported that it was fatal had been.
 Governor Murphy says that statehood is now within Arizona's reach, but it must be reached for not in half- hearted way. Oklahoma will certainly be admitted this winter, and Arizona will if the people of the territory desire it. They must demonstrate to congress that they want to be admitted, and they must organize and work together for admission. on.-Republican

A Complete Vindioation.

A dispatch from Washington to the Florence Blade under date of Septem- Der l2 says:
 Attorney General Knox to-day filed lengthy decision dismissing all charges against Circuit Judge Abram s. Humphreys of Honolulu, and com mending him for his fidelity, integrity, courage and ability. The attorney general severely scores the bar associa- tion of the Hawaiian islands for having presented the charges, and refused to consider the affidavit of District AttOr. ney Cooper of Pima county. Arizona. It is probable an indictment for per jury will grow out of this affidavit, as it is known to be maliciOusly false.
