SMITH ALMOST DIED
He Walked a Long Distance ia Front
 of a Gun.

Allen Smith, a colored man, was near death a half dozen times yesterda within fifteen minutes. Smith was sent to put down some new carpet which. lad been bought by the wife of one of the best known citizens of Phoenix. While he was engaged at the work 2 young girl the daughter of the citizen, stood watching him. Ha committed ar Offelse whigh can not be named, but which would have resulted In hls early abandonment of this world of sin and misery if 1t had been committed in sim liar circumstances south Of the Ohio river and east of the New Mexico line. Fortunately the little girl did not OD- serve the act, bat her mother. who hap pened to pass the door at that instant, did. She called her daughter away ana telephone q for her husband.
 He hurried home without knowing why he was so urgently wanted. When he was told he got his shot gun with the intention of killing Smith. He thought better of it in moment and started with him to the sherffs office. He un- derwent several changes of emotion on the way. A half dozen times as Smith Ndihtu NltilbAlllSN III llonl tl mn he half raised the gun to send a load of shot through him. Then he thought of the noise and talk that would follow. When he got to the court house with his prisoner he was assailed by the greatest temptation and regretted that he had not settled the matter before he left home or somewhere on the way. As ha reached the door of the sherffs of- flee he met deputy. He said: Quick take him away out of my sight! Lock him up quick. before kill him." With out waiting to make inquiry, the dep- uty seeing the earnestness of the cap- tor hurried Smith into cell
 The citizen was then at a loss what to do. The severest punishment that could be visited on smith would be six months in the county jail and even . that light punishment could be imposed only after the appearance of the citi- 2en's wife in court. He was once on the point of letting the case drop, but later an arrangems mt was made for private hearing. Smith was arraigned yeSter- day afternoon. He practically admitted the act charged against him. His uial will take place today.
 similar complaint was made against Smith two years ago. but when the oase came to trial the only witness es two lady tourists refused to appear in court and Smith was discharged
