NEARLY A KILLING
A Woman Took Close Shot at
 Man.

murder was nearly committed near the corner of Fourth and Jackson streets early yesterday morning. Short ly after midnight Officer Lawarence Special Watchman Doheney and Depu- tN Constable Redwine were attracted to that locality by the firing of a shot They learned that the shooting had taken place in a hovel occupied by two women, Maria Alvarez and Luis Re mendeZ, the latter a hall breed Mexican negro. The smell of the powder was still prevalent in the house. but the women denied that there had been any disturbance in that place. The gun still warm was found and ander threats the women admitted the shooting. The shot had been fired by the half breed at a man named Barteloa Modena.
 The women at first refused to tell where he was and more threats wei Q employed. Finally one of the women pointed out the house where he had gone after the shooting and he was found there concealed among a lot of women. Another man who was present at the disturbance was found and the quar- tette was locked up in the city jail. Modena had a very narrow escape from death. There was long cut ou his forehead which he said was made with an iron bar, but it looked as if it might have been the kiss of a bullet.
 The place where this thing happened has long been nortorious and much complaint has been made about 1t. The women are the lowest kind and the men who hang about there are the most vic ious in the city. About a month ago on the complaint of neighbors Justice Burnett issued warrant for the arrest of the women and later MOdena was taken up. They were all sent to jail. On his release Modena made threats against the persons who had complain ed against the house and he was ar rested and jailed again.

AT THE THEATER
Two Artistic Performances of East
 Lyme Y rday.

Russell and Drew's production of the New East Lynne was presented at Dor ris theater yesterday afternoon and evening. East Lynne is an old play. and those who have reckoned them selves among the theate going class for any length of time have all seen it. But there is something ever new in the old story, that well played is entertaining no matter how many times it is repeated.
 The matinee performance was before very small house as was to be ex- pected when half the town was ont to see the football game ard the other half was eating turkey. but the com pany played well regardless of many empty benches and every one in at tendance was an advertising agent for the night performance. In the even ing there was a large attendance not withstandins there were two dances and a number of private parties going on.
 Miss Blanche Stoddard as Lady Isa- bel portrayed the character more near ly to q perfect conception than any at . tist who has presented it in Phoenix Walter J. Brooks as Archibald Car lyle earned well rnerited applause seeming to fully appreciate the varied demands made upon him by the ever changing circumstances presented in the course of the play. Miss Donah Benrimo was artistic as Barbara Hare
 her art consisting of being not artfuI ! but natural Louise Belmour as the | Guardian angef' of the household i fully discharged her duties. The char acters named were well supported by , a company of talented actors in the parts. And though it was East Lynne Lon used to be played when it ranked
 among the leading bills of the day. ID
 those who had never seen it before it was a delightful representation of the
 evils that follow foolish jealousy and for those to whom there was nothing i new in the story there was a pleasing
 refreshing Of memory, rescue from
 oblivion of favorable impressions re , ceived in the days that are gone.

HE CUT OFF THE AIR
Great Presence of Mind Displayed in
 Stopping a Street Car.

Conductor McGrath of the g. F. P q F. is a pretty wise man, but he don't know everything, even about railroads If he did, he would have saved him elf a lot of joshIng and the Phoeaix City railway several bucketfuIs of electric juice that shot off into the air the other day
 theodore HaTner wanted to catch an eastbound street car at Center street. but his time-card was about fifty yards behind the city railway schedule. and he was further handicapped by hay ing his laugh along with him, and tha- in itself is good load for one man.
 MT. McGrath was riding on the rear end of the car with his face to the
 west. He saw Theodore making up the | right of way as though he had just
 secured contract for ham and egSs

THANKSGIVING DAY
The Manner of Its Celebration in
 Phoenix.

Thanksgiving yesterday was like all Thanksgivings in Phoenix. a not thrill lingly eventful day. All Of them have been comprehensive holidays hard to distinguish from Sundays The only things by which yesterday would be known from Sunday was a theatrical performance and the tournament of the Arizona Gun club.
 All the churches were for one day combined into one and a union ser vice was held at the Frist NJ. F.. church and was participated in by all the pas tors. The invocation was offered by Rev. Imri Zumwait of the Christian NJ. F. church read the scripture lesson and the Thanksgiving proclamation was read by Rev. Lapsley A. McAfee of the Presbyterian church. The musical programme consisted of an organ vol untary by Mrs. Shirley Christy and the singing of a hymn of praise by the con Sregation led by MT. Merton Smith the evangelist. The Thanksgiving sermon was preached by Rev. R. A. Rowland of the M. F. church, South.
 He spoke first of the general charac- ter of the day and the many causes for thanksgiving which are frequently ov- erlooked. Many of them are not ma terial. Abundant harvests, expanding trade. the health Of ones self and his friends are causes recognized by all but there are standing reasons why the people of this country should be thank

New York cars have two. ropes in stead of one running through them. One is to ring up fares, and the other is for the use of passengers. When Mr. Buxton reache,l the desired street he pulled a rope. IL rang up a fare, but the car did not stop. When he got to the next corner he tried it again. with the same result. Before he got to the next corner. he said to himself: "I'll get him this time I guess" and gave the rope Q terrific pull. By that time the conductor got to him and asked him whether he was trying to bankrupt him, or was he just crazy MT. Buxton replied that there was one more guess coming to the con- ductor. as all he wanted was to get off the car some time in the course of the afternoon, and he was willing to pay the accrued expense and anything additional that might seem right to the conductor. He walked back.

A THANKSGIVING STORY
h Which Is Related Remarkable
 Case of Turkey Stealing.

There is a rancher out under the Arizona canal northeast of town. who was on Monday night made the victim of the most high handed outrage that was ever perpetrated upon an Ameri- can citizen.
 He likes turkey better than a dog likes heas. and observing the good market here last year, he set out this season to raise all the turkeys he needed for home consumption and turn an honest penny beside, by supplying to some extent the local market. All last week he was busy taking orders among his friends for nice Thanksgiv- ing turkeys, and had also contracted to supply considerable number to friends in Congress and Wickenburg. Altogether, he had raised no fowls and brought them to high state of perfec- tion- They looked as sleek as a race horse. as fat as butter and as juicy as watermelon
 He has feared all along that some thing wonld happen to crush his hopes. and in order to protect himself against possible marauders he has been sleep irs for the last month out in the yard, not far from the turkey roost Mon clay night he returned home tired from tnking orders, but with a light heart and clear conscience.
 That night he slept. as soundly as policeman, and when he awokc there were but three turkeys left in the flock He spent the next day delivering those three turkeys to the three who ordered first, and in trying to make peace with the other 107 prospective customers. He spent yesterday discussing in the bosom of his family the peculiar merits of an Irish stew as a Thanksgiving dish.

 Their Relief.

Washington, Nov. 2s.-The report that 115 miners from Cape Nome are in serious straits at Unalaska, Alaska, as the result of the stranding of the schooner Ralph J. Long, is being in- vestigated by the treasury department with a view to their relief, if the ne cessity exists.
 Captain Shoemaker, chief of the rev enue service, today telegraphed in- structions to an official at San Fran cisco to investigate the story, and if the miners are in distress, revenue cutter will be ordered to Unalaska The cutter will bring back the stranded miners, or escort the schooner to port in case the latter is able to sail.

CREW OF MURDERERS;
Responsibility for the Wabash
 Horror Is Fixed
The East Bound Limited, Which Crashed Into the Emigrant Train, Disregarded Orders-Recovery of the Bodies of the Dead.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 2S.-When night feli over the scene of last nights ca ia mity on the Wabash railroad near Seneca, Mich, those who had been in vestigating the disaster had found nothing to alter the estimate that about eighty lives were lost as a result of the collision. Superintendent George M, Burns. of the division on which the wreck occurred, insists that the es- inmates are too high.
 "I do not consider" he said, that the total death liBt will exceed twenty However. in support of the larger es- timate, it is pointed out that there are now fourteen passengers known to be dead The bodies of eight of these have been recovered. and it is consid- cred that the five fragments of other bodies. now in the morgue at Adrian. will account for many more than the twelve dead. necessary to make up Superintendent Burns estimate of twenty.
 In addition to the comparatively few fragments recovered and sent to the morgue, those who were early on the scene say that many more pieces were discovered, which crumbled to powder while they were being removed.
 Most of the wreckage has been cleaned from the track It develops
 
 corresponded. The responsibility for the disaster rests on the crew of the eastbound limited.
 The official list of the dead given to the local papers shows the names of but ten dead and forty-eigit injured but the Detroit newspaper men, who were at the scene of the wreck and talked with the survivors of both trains, say that the official list does not bear out the statement of the pas sengers or the evidence of the horrible loss of. life which they witnessed at the spot where the accident occurred.
 The Free Press tomorrow will say that the loss of life was, in round mum bers, 100. and that the statements made by the Italian immigrants on train No. 13 bear out this claim. These i'm migrants said that there were about and that only about twenty-five of them escaped While only ten of them the mescaped. While only ten of them are known to be dead, it is asserted that the other ninety were completely incinerated. and that with the removal of the wreSkage the. bodies - .rnbled to dust, which was scattered by the wind- If the names of these dead are ever known, it will be when their friends make inquiry for them. and in many instances this seems highly inn probable.

full One of these is the opportunity afforded every citizen to better himself. This year had. however, been one rich in material blessings, but there could be no perfect condition of earthly hap piness.
 A shadow had been cast upon the great natural joy of this year.
 Said MT. Rowland:
 Nations like individuals are some times bereaved. In the past year we have been called upon to mourn the loss of our president, who was stricken down in the zenith of his usefulness and power. But even out of the tragic event of the murder of Wm. Mckinley we may obtain things to be thankful for. MT. Mckinley lived the life of an upright christian gentleman, and his influence upon the character and des- tiny of the United States will be felt to the end of time. His tragic death emphasized the life he lived, and en- forced the necessity as well as illus trated the value of a supreme faith in the Son of God, for which we ought to devoutly express our gratitude to our Holy Father. MT. McKinley's death and the trial of the person who killed him has also shown the people of this country that anarchy in it's last andy SIS IS all good w e nave been too tolerant of anarchists for we thought their operations were confined to overthrowing monarchies that were despotic and oppressive We have been taught that anarchy will raise it's un- hallowed hand against this government as readily as against the czar of Rus sia, or the most despotic government in the world. For this every right thinking person ought to thank God and do all in his power to destroy the serpent we have been nourishing in our bosom. We ought also to offer thanks to God that when one Christian gentle man has been removed by death from the presidential chair, events have been so ordered that his place is occupied by one well worthy to be his successor '
 The sermon was followed by a pray CT by Rev. Dr. Lewis Halsey, after which the annual Thanksgiving offer ing was received. The proceeds will be donated to the Crittenton home. Dur ing the offering Mrs. Stechan sang a solo, "Our Father Through the Coming Year.
 The doxology was followed by the benediction by Rev. D. C.. Shepard.
 Then came the Thanksgiving dinners. In hundreds of homes revenge was talk en upon the Sultan for his dilatoriness about paying his just debts to the United States. The only public dinner outside the restaurants was that given by the A. M. F. church. It had been intended that eight possums should be the piece de resistance, but turkeys were substituted.
 There was an enjoyable day on the Heard ranch south of the river A great turkey and oyster dinner was prepar- nd al fa employees, thirty five, congregated there A great part of the afternoon was given over to faasting.
 The festivities in the city were con- cluded last night with the opening ball of the Maricopa club and a dance given by the woodmen of the World at Elks hall.

The foregoinng describes the great est surprise in flstic history. Apparent ly nobody but Young Corbett thought he had chance of winning. and many did not believe that he thought so, but that he had got on with McGovern for the advertisement there was in it. He had. of course, given a good account of himself in previous encounters, but he had never displayed any of the mar vicious cleverness of McGovern. who was believed by judges to be the great est and most scientific fighter that had been produced to date. The odds on
 McGovern were sotheavy that they never were really fixed. The pest the Me Govern people had been able to get was to 1, but there was not much of that. Most of the betting was on how many rounds Young Corbett would last. Some little money changed hands in Phoenix. One bet was made yesteT- day morning at to 1 that McGovern would win before the tenth round The fight was to take place a week ago. but a day or two before the date of it Young Corbett was slightly injured in an automobile accident. When Me Govern heard of it he jocosely TO- marked that that was good training
