The fifth full week OF The Tribune's
Educational Contest came to an end
on Saturday evening. Thus far the
event has run five-siXteenths of its
complete schedule The week just
closed was a good one. although not
equal to the preceding one in the num-
Der of points scored. but that can prob
ably be accounted for by the fact that
schools We're unusually busy and Il
number of the contestants We're get
ting ready for examinations.
Below a table is presented showing
how much work each contestant did
every day. Messrs. Lewis and Schwen-
ker beat the others out nearly fivefold.
That perhaps will help to explain why
they are at present first and second
on the list. Three in the list of lead
ing contestants did not get a point
during the week. viz. w. II. Harris,
ID. o. Emery and Robert Campbell.
The table follows:

company. from Morenci to its pumping
plant on Eagle creek, public high
way. This road was constructed at
a heavy expense and il accommodates
a great many people. 1t is but right
that it should be maintained by the
county. The board took this view OF
the matter and so ordered.
A. D. Webb, of Morenci, has been in
the valley this week. He was at one
time connected with the Bulletin and
later was the publisher OF the Ari-
zonian at Stafford. He is always vel
come to the ella valley, where he has
many friends. During the past year
he has been in the employ OF the De-
troit Copper Company. He is think
ing OF asking for a clerksh!p in the
legislature, and IL he does it should be
granted him, as he is a worthy man,
thoroughly competent and demo
crat worthy Of such recognition.
The new Touring mill is just COM
pleted and put in successful operation
in Solomonviile and was first talked OF
less than a year ago. Early in the
spring OF last year the real work OF
promoting the enterprise began, the
leading spirits being W. A. Gillespie,
I f. Solomon, Solomon Commercial
company, Hugh McMullin, Noah
Green & Son, Pedro Michelana, Frank
Dysart and Abraham Diaz, the men
who subscribed for the stock and
built the mill. The Montezuma Flour
Milling company was incorporated
with capital stock Of $4,000. The
officers of the company are: W. A.
Gillespie, president; Chas. F. Solomon,
secretary; and Luther Greene, treas
urer. The plant cost more than $780,
600.
About IL o'clock last Wednesday
night Mack Patterson rushed into
Hood Porter's saloon and said a masked
man was trying to kill the Chinaman
who runs the laundry, About two
minutes later the Chinaman rushed in,
bleeding from several wounds on the
head. The facts as told by both are as
follows: Just before IL o'clock Mr..
Patterson went into the laundry for his
clothes. While he was paying for
them a masked man rushed into the
room aud struck the Chinaman over
the head with a siX-shooter. The
Chinaman threw up one hand and part
ly warded off the blow, and then ran
into the back room, followed by his
assailant. Patterson ran out OF the
front door and up to the saloon. The
Chinaman broke through the back door
and got away. The first blow cut an
ugly cash on his forehead and he was
evidently struck several times while
trying to escape as he had two or three
wounds on the top OF his head. AS
near as can be learned no money was
secured. Constable Porter spent sew
eral hours during the night Investigate
ing the matter and next day arrested
Patterson and Earl Wish, but as there
was no evidence against Wish, he was
released and Patterson was held under
$3.50 bond. The hearing was before
Judge Sparks.

.ch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
FREDERICK, Nd, February 1.-Herbert
Brown colored, was shot Wednesday by
Police Officer Fritz Lueba at Mt Airy and
died from his wounds at the Maryland Uni
versty Hospital. The negro had been
working for the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company and had been laid eff be-
cause of the snow storm. He got drunk
and paraded the streets brandishing re-
volver, threatening the lives of several per-
sons. In front of Baker & SeentZ's store
he fired several shots, which were heard by
Officer Lueba, who came out of the store
and placed him under arrest.
Brown drew his gun and attempted to
shoot but Officer Lueba was too quick for
him and fired the first shot, which made a
scalp wound, having glanced along the
temple. This did not stop the negro and
he again attempted to shoot the officer.
Mr. Lueba fired again and this shot struck
the negro in the face. With blood gush-
ing from his mouth and nose the negro
rushed on the officer. Again the officer
shot. and this time the negro was brought
to earth with a bullet in his lungs. AS
he fell Brown cried, That's enough; 1 am
done for" Brown was taken to Baltimore
last night and died at a late hour.
George Franklin was killed at Mt. Airy,
and two other negroes, James Godfrey and
Edward Bulow, were seriously wounded
there within the past ten days.
