HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
NARROWLY AVERTED.
The Prompt Arrival of the Officers
Alone Saves a Chinaman From Be
ing Cut to Pieces By Cocaine Fiend.

The cocain fiend who was chased by
the officers yesterday made good his
escape and was still at large at late
hour last night
Soon after midnight an urgent call
was sent in for police assistance from
the American kitchen and when Off
GERS Scott. Smith. and Mitchell arrived
there they found the cocaine fiend in
the act of carving a wild eyed China
man whom the lunatic in his delerium
had taken for Boxer.
The insane man had the Chinaman
down on the floor and was flourishing
his knife i ma dangerous proximity to
the celestial's throat.
The trio of stalwart officers reached
the scene of the conflict just in time to
prevent a horrible tragedy.
Without a moments hesitation the
officers threw themselves upon the lu-
matte and bore him to the floor. A des-
perate struggle followed. The crazy
man fought with the strength and des-
peration of a demon and it was with
difficulty that he was overpowered.
Crown. for that is the crazy mans
name. was finally overcome and es-
corted to the police station and locked
up. but il required constant watching
to prevent him from injuring himself
after being turned loose in the cell.
Crown is considered a helpless slave
TO the cocaine habit ard has n carry
spell at intervals. When under the in
fuence of the drug he is nothing more
or less than a maniac of the most dan
gerous character. He has been in the
custody of the police on previous oc
casions.

The different tastes of waters are
oftener due to the gases in solution
than to the salts. An unweigha BILE
quantity of organic matter which has
decomposed and distributed its gases
through the water can very easily be
tasted. while it needs about seventy
parts of common salt in a hundred
thousand of water to be detected by
taste. fifteen to twenty of lime salt
and about one fourth part of iron.
In the hydrant water here there are
, about 40 parts of different salts in
a hundred thousand, some people can
not taste this when it is free of organic
matter, but most can. Deming water
has about 81 parts salts-very few peo-
| pie can taste that. Distilled water has
no salts and no gases or air-it tastes
| fiat. Hygeia water has only 20 parts
salts-Quite taStelesS-but the natural
gases from the deep source give it quite
a sharpish taste.
An interesting property of water
which has great effect on us without
our being conscious of it, is that diff
ferent proportions of oxygen and nitro
gen are dissolved by it so that while
air is mixture of 81 parts oxygen and
| 70 parts nitrogen. where air is diSsOlv-
ed in water it is a mixture OF So parts
oxygen and only 65 parts nitrogen.
Thus the air dissolved in water has
higher oxidizing properties than or
binary air. This property is taken ad-
vantage of in some filters which not
only strain impurities out of the wa
ter but really burn up some.
| A properly managed sand filter for
instance will take bacteria out of a

would easily pass through the sand if

NEWS OF AL. LAMOUR'S
DEATH is RECEIVED
He Has Been Lingering On the Verge
For Some Days. and Died Yester-
day Afternoon.

Definite news was received last night
by Mrs. Zack White from her husband
to the effect that AL. Lamour had
breathed his last at Los Angeles. He
died about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon. No arrangements have yet been
made as to the disposition of the re-
mains but it is expected that the inter
ment will take place here.
Lamour came to Ell Paso about April
1881 and was therefore among the
earliest settlers in FL Paso. He was a
man of very quiet and reticent dispo-
sition. pursuing the even tenor of his
way at all times. He had a host of
loyal friends and no enemies. His
friends have been hoping against hope
that he would recover from his attack
and the intelligence of his death has
occasioned much sorrow.
