Assault With Intent to Murder.

Saturday afternoon about clock the
report of several pistol shots were heard
in the neighborhood of Il. l.. Motow s
saloon, and upon investigation it was
found that ID. ). Evans had fired one
shot at JAS. Motlow, the bartender, but
the shot went wide of the mark, and
MotlOw had fired one in return, which
did not hit Evans.
BEFORE this occurred, according to Mot
lows statement, Evans was in the har
and was abusive and making things lively
generally. Motlow demonstrated with
him, but it did no good, and finally
struck Evans and put him outside the
building.
K. \. Bobbitt says that Evans went To
his IBobbitt's home, where Evans and hi,
wife lived, secured BObbitt's revolver
against the entreaties of his wife, and re-
turned down town.
Evans then went to the railway station,
pointed the pistol at railroad man and
told him not to 20 down town. From the
railway station Evans went t. Mutlow =
saloon and opened fire as above stated.
Town Marshal Minis placed Evans under
arrest AID carried him To the town Gala
boOse, but directly after he was placed
therein smoke was noticed coming
through the roof OF the building, and it
was found that some bedding in the cell
had been set on fire, and The prisoner was
loudly calling for help on account of the
smoke sutfocating him. Marshal Minis
and Deputy Sheriff Waller then placed
him in the county Jail, but not without a
very stubborn resistance on the part ui
Evans. \ commitment was then issued
charging him with assault with intent
10 murder.
We understand from the sheriff and his
deputy that Evans was very noisy i'll his
cell until in the night, and that the next
day he said he did not remember any
thing about the occurrence.
\ preliminary hearing was given the
accused Monday before County Judge
Penney, and the latter fixed his bond at
500 for appearance at the spring term of
circuit coart, on the 2Sth inst, but which
has not been obtained up 10 the present
time.
Those who have known Evans since
his stay here are very much surprised at
his actions of Saturday, as he has appear
ed peaceable at all times, and attended
strictly to his own business, and has. o. +,
appeared quarrelsome. tire ;

COAST SHIPMENTS
 ESTIMATES FOR YEAR
There Was Not the Expected Falling
 Of in Citrus Fruits.

Lon Angeles. Cal, Jan.~14.-The FIX press today says that Southern Cali fornia will ship a total of 10000 cars of citrus fruit during the present sea son. The new crop is expected to fall short more than 1000 cars of the out put of last, year. It is estimated that the shipment of vegetables will aggre- gate 2,000 cars. The figures quoted were gathered by the trans-continental rail- road companies. with headquarters at Los Angeles, and are considered re- liable.
 Frost has not damaged the oranges up to this time, but the new crop of summer lemons will be short. Oranges this year are smaller in size, fact to which nearly all the shortage is stated to be due. The new crop is of superior quality and acreage is the largest in the history of the industry in this sec ton.

DISTURBANCE IN GRAIN.

Chicago. Jan. 14.-There was a tumult today in the grain pits. For a time a panic Of depression threatened every hing. All other news was subordinate to the failure of George 1T. Phillips to advance margins on deals and there was a consequent unloading of many millions of bushels of cereals. After early wide and rapid fluctuations and a heavily short market had absorbed Phillips stuff the marxets quieted and gradually came under the usual in- luences. The close was much better than was expected. May wheat suffered a net loss of 1ac, May corn. SsM 1ac; May oats. kMAc, and May rye. Sc. Pro- visions closed independent, 10d121Ac to 15H11c higher.

The Philippines were the subject oi an address by MT Hoar of Massa chusetts. who spoke on the resolution introduced yesterday providing for the appointment Of sen ;-te committee to investigate the ad- rninistra ton of those islands.

HOW PUBLIC OFFICE
 SHOULD BE SOUGHT
President RooSevelt'S Idea of the Applicants First
 Move
He Should First Secure the Strongest Local Support-Thus Equipped He Is in a Way to Demand Atten- tion.

Washington. Jan. H. President Roosevelt has positive ideas upon the proper method of seeking appointments in the government service. He believes an applicant for place should get his backing before he ventures to secure the aid of higher outside influence The president, although his own career is d remarkable example of the reverse of his opinion, believes that the govern ment service offers the poorest way in which young man can earn a liveli- hood. Last spring a relative of the then vice president living in Wyoming sought his aid in obtaining q govern ment position. In response to a letter asking his help Vice President Roose- welt sent him the following character istic letter:
 My Dear Cousin: Your letter of the 10th instant has caused me a good deal much question the advisability of your seeking an appointment under the gov ernment. My experience has been that the government service is the poorest way in which d young man can earn a livelihood. There is no future in it a all. If you wish to get a-place. how ever. I shall of course try to help you: but in such case it is absolutely inn perative that you should get your local backing first. I now speak with entire knowledge for the men of my regiment have applied to me by the score for just such positions as you seek, and even when I was writing or speaking in behalf of a man who had served under me. I found that it was a mere waste of time for me to attempt to do anything unless he had his own sena- tors or representatives behind him The Wyoming senators, for instance, would not tolerate. and would be perfectly right in refusing to tolerate, the in- reference of the vice president in an appointment in their state. As I say, this I have found out by actual expe- rience in scores of cases. You will have to get the backing of your own local people first. and thenaif can help you in any way I most gladly will. Faith fully yours, Theodore Roosevelt.
