WARRINGTON, D. c., April 2s.-
There Is still much secrecy maintained
at the White House regarding the
resignation of Governor Murphy. All
the information vouchsafed Is that the
resignation Is In the hands of the
President and 1t will be acted upon In
due time.
There is no longer doubt that the
President received several communica-
tions regarding a banquet at Phoenix
on the night OF the 18th OF March, in
which the governor participated we'll
but not wisely.
Some OF these communications were
from men and some from women.
One letter was signed jointly by
three ministers Of the Gospel Most
of the complaints came from Phoenix,
but one came from Tucson. The
Tucson letter came from . former
federal oficial, and the writer detailed
ut considerable length the Incidents OF
the Phoenix banquet. according to
him, liquor and language were alike
free and unrestrained at the dinner,
and the governors conduct was unbe-
coming a civilized person.
The general belief here is that the
president called ON the governor for
an explanation OF his conduct 1t the
banquet. and that In reply the gov
ernor forwarded his resignation.
There is some doubt here that the
president will consider the resignation
a proper reply: and further develop
ments are expected.
There is no doubt that Colonel A. o.
Brodie will be appointed governor of
Arizona in Murphy's place.

He says that the resignation was dated

The resignation, howver, is without a

William Gutlman, of Winthrop Harb0r,
Shot in the Back by a. COmpan-
ion While Hunting.
WOUNDS MAY PROVE FATAL
Charge From a Double BarreI1ed Shotgun
Struck Gattman in the Back, Tear
ing a Great Hole in the Flesh.
(From Tuesdays Daily. }

Will Guttman, an employee of the
Western Telephone and Construction
company at Winthrop Harbor, met
with a terrible accident Monday while
hunting on the lake shore south of
Kenosha which will probably result
| fatally or leave the young man MANNED
for life.
Guttman, together with a companion
whose name is unknown but who is
known by the name of Farmer"
started out along the shore of the lake
early in the afternoon for hunting
trip. They walked north until they
were nearly ia sight of Kenosha when
they started back to Winthrop Harbor,
expecting to reach home by dark. They
had only gone short distance on the
return trip when the companion of
Guttman saw a flock of birds and
decided to take a shot at them, Quit
MAJ was walking few yards in front
of him but not in sight on account of
little bend in the shore line. GARNER"
discharged the double barrelled shot
gun and the entire charge struck Quit
man in the back just above the thighs.
The man fell to the ground as if dead
and here his companion found him a
moment later we1tering in a pool of
blood and unconscious.
Farmer was almost crazed by his
act but he hurried back to a farm
house as soon as possible and secured
some assistance. When he returned
with wagon to remove the in jured
man to his home Guttman was almost
frozen from exposure He was picked
up tender1y and taken to Winthrop
Harbor and doctor was sent for. An
examination showed that the charge
from the shotgun had torn great hole
in Guttman's back andthe lower part
of his body was completely paralized.
DIR. w. r. Cheever, of this city, is
treating the injured man and it is
thought possible that he will recover.
Guttman was one of the best known
young men at Winthrop Harbor and
the sad accident has cast universal
gloom over the little village. Farmer"
is almost Frustrated on account Of the
part he played in the shooting, but it is
stated that no blame is attached to him
IN any manner.
Both the men had been friends for
some time and Farmer is keeping a
close watch at the bedside of his
companion.

THURSDAY, JAN. 9. 1902.

THERE is every prospect of lively
fight in the House Committee on Agri-
culture over the proposition to substi-
6ute a new measure which provides
that unco1ored o1eomargarine shall
not be taxed for the Grout bill, which
Imposes a tax of one-quarter of a cent
per pound on the unco1ored article.
Under existing law there is tax of
two cents pound on both colored and
uncolored oleo. The Grout bill, which
was adopted by the last House by a
majority of 100, and which has the in
dorsement of all the farmers, their or
carnations, and all the agricultural
papers of the country, imposes a tax
of 10 cents a pound on the colOred ar
tic1e and one-quarter of one cent on
the unco1ored. It provides for the
State regulations within the borders of
the States, and this product is not re-
1ieved from State control when i'm
ported in original packages.
Ut is claimed by those who are in
position to know that to remove the
tax on the unColored article would null
Lily the effect of the whole bill. 1t is
to be hoped that the committee will not
be influenced by the representations of
the packing interest who are making
great outcry against "the destruction
OF great industry for the benefit of
the farmers" but will protect both the
honest dairy interest and the public
against the sale of false butter by
making the bill as effective as pos
sible.
