OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
IOWA PRESS COMMENT

OOOOOCOOCOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOO
Boies Not An lngrate.-There is
ncthing in the statement going the
rounds of the republican press that If
Cummins is nominated the democrats
will name Horace Boies. 1t is exceed
ingly doubtful, if Horace Boies was In
harmony with the democratic party,
which he is not, whether he could be
induced to make the race against the
man to whom he owes SO much for his
success in two hard fought campaigns.
--Des MONIES Democrat (dem.).
MIR. Morgan's Opportunity. P.
Morgan has it within his power to
prove that the head of the greatest en-
terprise in the world can be just with
it's workingmen Mr.. Morgan is head
of corporation that employs 100000
men. If he is just with the men his
action will go long ways towards
proving that even billion-dollar trust
is not inclined to trample upon the
rights of free citizenship. Mr. Nor
gan has one vote to cast that can set
tie the difficulty with the men employ
ed bv his trust. The employees have
200 900 votes tl1at:ma be cast to
| eliminate the billion-dollar trust from
the face of the earth.-Clinton Herald.
Respectful Silence Asked.-Iowa has
over million dollars in its treasury
and owes no man a dollar. Such a
condition ought not to be the subject
of adverse comment at the coming
state convention. 1t ought to draw ap-
plause from true republicans and COM
mand at least silence from the minor
ity party.-Clinton Herald.
The Preacher Worsted.-Rev. Boat.
man, OF Keokuli, entered into joint
debate with Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait at the Des Moines Chautauqua
assembly, and oh, how he did get used
lup. He attempted to sustain his posi-
ton and introduced a back number
named Paul and tried to prove by him
that women are the inferior being and
should be seen and not heard, but Mrs
Gait first demolished Paul and Their
she went after the preacher. After il
was all over Rev. Boatman no doubt
offered thanks that st. Paul was dead
and free from the fiery darts that were
hurled at his bachelor head. Boatmar
is not dead. but he was completely
skinned-Clinton Herald.

JUSTICE BURNETT's COURT
A Variety of Cases Before His Honor
 Yesterday.

Bicenta Acuna was fined s10 yester- day for disturbing the peace. Alfreda Nalenzuela was tried on the same charge and perhaps would have escaped with a similar sentence, only for the fact that he has taken up so much of the time of the local courts lately and so much room in the docket in the re- cording of suits against him. He plead ed guilty. of course, as he always does. and was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail
 Joseph Wilson, a half-breed Mexican of Wickenburg, was brought into court on the charge of horse stealing. The story is that some time last fall F. S. Egboff of Wickenburg lost a horse About the first of December Wilson sold the missing horse to Charles Reak- seeker. Not long ago the horse was found in his possession and, of course restored to its owner. Reaksecker now appears against Wilson, of whom he bought the animal. Wilson told the court that he had purchased the horse from Japanese, but did not name him. The case was set for trial and the de- fsndant instructed to make out list of witnesses wanted.
 A civil case was also begun which in- wolves the interest of nearly everybody in Gila Bend. directly or indirectly. The case is appealed from Justice Kalten- bach's court and has its origin in a

Careless Handling of a Gun Causes a
 Tragedy in Tempe.

Leon Enrique SoZa was accidentally shot and killed yesterday morning by his eleven-y ar-old brother at the fam fly residence in Tempe.
 The boys are sons of Mir. and Mrs. Juan Soza, well known and respected Mexican citizens of Tempe. The fam fly resides in the Sotelo addition to Tempe between the town proper and the creamery. Yesterday morning about o'clock the boys go; out their 22-calibre rifle, presumably for target practice. and were playing atound the house with it. The younger boy, who says he did not think the gun was loaded, pointed it at his elder brother and fired. the bullet taking effect in the heart. death resulting almost in stantly. This is the whole story of the deplorable affair as far as could De learned here last night.
 Coroner Tomlinson of Tempe sam moned jury and examined into the facts of the case. after which yer dict was returned in accordance with the above. There is no question about the incident being purely accidental. as the boys were not even quarreling and were usually on the b. st of terms.
 The dead boy was seventeen years old and was an estimable young man. He had many friends in Tempe who regret his untimely end and whose sympathy is attended to the afflicted family. especially to the lad whose carelessness caused the trouble. for ne no doubt feels worse about it than any one else.
