PIONEER ON THE RAMPAGE
E. Evans and A. Kimbrough in a Duel
 at Close Range.

A preliminary hearing bt fore Justice Gray yesterday afternoon brought out details of singular apparent attempt of two men to take each others lives, and the causes leading the affair which almost assumed to be tragedy, are shrouded in mystery. A feud of words Alexander Kimbrough. better known as "Kentuck," and one of the pioneers who blazed the way to this territory. lead to a shooting shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday morning Kimbrough and Evans directed missils toward each other but none of the lead took effect. Each man states that the ad- versary was the aggressor. There was no disposition on the part of either to harm the aggressor. except in self protection. It is possible that each man was prompted by the laws of self preservation when he opened fire. Un- less both labored under an hallucina- ton thereAis very little probability of the cause appearing by the ttst- mony.
 Several quid nuncs have offered the solution of a woman m the case. A glance at "Kentuck." one of the duel ists, explodes the theory. This weather beaten Arizonian who braved the dang erous days of this territory until he has reached old age had been drink ing on the night of the tragedy. accord ing to the evidence. brand of whisky w hirh ninht have ra n . a him n the days of old when Arizona settlers settled their differences with trust worthy weapons and a never erring aim. a,
 In the case of the territory against kimbrough, both Attorney Bullard for the defense. and Acting Prosecuting Attorney Kibbey. asked for time. and the hearing was set for Tuesday morn- ing at 10 o'clock. All the evidence was taken in the hearing of the territory against Evans. charged with an as- sault with deadly weapon. The justice withholds his verdict until 10 o'clock this morning.
 A. number of witnesses were placed on the stand and their stories of the shooting were corroborative of each other. "Ke Kentuck" and the defendant quarreled a week or two ago. although the exact cause of the quarrel was not brought out.. At that thine Kim brough declared that he would kill Evans. The, two men had been stop ping at the home of Humphrey Me .Keaun on the corner of First avenue and Grant street. On the night O. the shooting Kimbrongh had been drinking excessively. McKeaun had requested him several tines. at the instance of the defendant, to seek a new place of lodging. and at this the old-timer was offended. An hour and half before the shooting occurred he left the house for town. Evans had taken. a pistol from him and he telephoned to thefcity police to intercept him in town. The

tion of girls play such fast ball as this years nine of the Boston maidens."
 This view was shared by all who were able to compare the team work with former performances by women they had witnessed and the ability of the girls which wrought the defeat and humiliation of nine robust members of the opposite sex was a revelation to all. How 1t happened was explained in this manner by one of the players
 You see we played kind of easy at first, but were compelled to liven up when the girls commenced hitting hard. Toward the last inning We re- faxed In our playing little because we thought we had the contest grab bed, but we went briskly to work in the last inning. If 5000 had perched on each of our heads in case of victory We could not have saved the game in the last inning. Those girls are clever, but l think they will lose tomorrow"
 There Is some doubt in the minds of those who witnessed the exhibition yes terday whether they will lose.
 The grand stand yesterday was lib- erally interpersed with women, who exhibited a great deal of en- thusiasm and expressed satisfaction at the physical attachments of nine of their sex.
 The Boomer Girls are modest and tffemirate in every way off the ball field" said woman, but they have learned to counterpart skillfully the ways of professional male players on the diamond"
 No umpire has less complaints to ad- just than Mark Long, who regulated the national game as contested between men and women. And the game Will he played between the same teams at the park this afternoon. The Bloomer Girls were arranged in this way:
 Maud Nelson, pitcher; Julia St. Claire, second base: Celia Brown. first base; Yeula Robertson, center fisld; Sophie Buckley short stop; Carrie Ma ton. left field Lilie Emmett, third base; Nellie Dunbar. right field.
 Captain Harry Hart placed the local players as follows: Reynolds catcher: Collins. pitcher; Segalia, first base; Parish. second base: Wormell. third base; Brayiey, short stop; AlNora Wornell, left, field.

BEATEN BY BLOOMERS
Boston's Girls Lower the Colors of
 Local Ball Players.

Up in arms against masculine skill, petit and comedy maidens, brunetts and blondes displayed their phys ical prowess on the base ball diamond before a crowd which packed the grand stand of the Phoenix park and scored a victory over the flower of local ball players. The Boston Bloomer girls. under the management from the Phoenix base ball club yes- terday, the score being II to 10.
 Surprise was pictured on every face when the gentle twirlers, after quietly. unostentatiously and systematically taking their places on the diamond, displayed a remarkable skill in man. covering in the field, checking the pro gress of red-hot liners from the bat and tossing the leather home with the ease of skilled men. A great cheer went up from the crowd when Carrie Nation, in the left field, made a pretty fair catch and tossed the ball with the ease of machine and the velocity of a cannon bah to Celia Brown on first base, who touched the bag with her foot and two men went out. The Bloomer Girls were not the aggregation that visited Phoeni two years ago. They were equally effemlnate but awk- wardness with the ball had given way to remarkable skill, and the curiosity of the crowd was soon converted into enthusiasm. One man only occupied a position on the diamond. That was Miller, who acted as catcher. Girls can be induced to play any other po- sition on the diamond but they do not care to place the shape of their pretty. fingers in jeopardy by facing the pitchers curves. Maud Nelson oc- cupied the pitchers box, where falls a large amount of responsibility, and she performed her part with dexterity that .disillusioned the men spectators who had entertained grave doubts as to whether women could be properly made to play base ball.
 But this was not all The fair ones held the willow with the ease and con- fidence of professionals and they re- peatedly sent the leather far into the heavens. Three times during the nine innings the ball from the stick of a blOomer girl scared over the high can vas. which encompassed the diamond

 whether Kimbrough should deliver his gun to the law. Evans, meanwhile, had surrendered. While the timer was
 holding the policeman at bay, Police man Porter, closely followed by Acting
 Captain Redwlne and George Me- Donald arrived. Porter with gun lodged forcibly against the abdomen oS the man who had gone on the rampage, quickly persuaded him to part with his big gun.

A MISTAKE IN SIGNALS
Causes the Collision of Two Sections
of a Train

Pittsburg, August S.-Two sections of
an Atlantic City excursion train collid-
ed near Confluence, Pa, on the Balti-
more and Ohio railway, forty-eight
miles east of Pittsburg, about II o'clock
his morning. Ten people were serious
ly injured and a number Of others
slightly hurt
There were three sections of the ex-
press. AS the third section neared Con
~fluence, the engineer suddenly saw
looming up before him on h same
track the rear end of the second section.
1t was then too late to avoid the disaS-
ter, and the engineer and fireman Of
the third section jumped. The third
section crashed into the Pullman car
of the rear of the second section, tele-
scoping it. With the exception of the
fireman, all, it is thought, will recover.
A mistake in signals was the cause Of
the collision.

Panama Railroad Company.

Washington, August S.-Just before
the navy department closed today an
order was sent to Captain George C.
Reiter, Of the battleship Wisconsin,
now at Anacartes, near the Puget
Sound naval station, to proceed to San
Francisco. from which point the battle
ship will be dispatched to Panama in
case the state department requests the
presence Of a warship on the Pacific
side of the isthmus.
This action was taken after the act
Ing secretary had received from the
state department a communication
from j. Edward Simmons, of New
York, president of the Panama Rail-
road Company. setting forth the seri-
business Of the situation on the isthmus,
and suggesting hat warships be sent
both to the Atlantic and the Pacific
side. Mr.. Adee, the acting secretary Of
state, replied to Mr.. Simmons that the
gunboat MachiaS had been ordered to
Colon on the Atlantic side. but il was
the view Of officials. during the early
part OF h day, both at the state and
navy departments, hal there was no
present necessity for sending down a
ship OIL the Pacific side.
For this reason Mr.. Adee made no re-
quest on the navy department for an.
other ship, but as a matter of informa-
ton he transmitted the letter of Mr..
Simmons to the acting head of the navy
department.
While this was not a request for a
ship. yet Mr.. Hackett felt hat it was
quite desirable to have one in readiness
to go should the request be made. He,
therefore, directed that the order be
sent to the Wisconsin to come down to
a Francisco and there await further
orders.
This selection of a battleship for this
prospective duty apparently gives d
gravity to the situation, which in real
ity it does not possess. Unfortunately,
most of the smaller ships are in Asiatic
waters, and the department was obliged
to choose between unServiceable old
wooden ships. and the fine new battle
ships on the Pacific station. In view
of Mr.. Simmons letter which vas con-
strued to be a request for the protec
ton of American interests, it was deem
ed best to have the battleship at San
Francisco, where she can proceed with
out delay to the iSthmuS.

NJ. Santos Dumont started from the

ments were promising, as the balloon
turned round Eiffel tower, 8 minute

strong gust Of wind struck the aerostat
