KILLING AT WACO
Deputy Sl eff Puts Hole Through
 John Clausen.

A fatal shooting scrape took place in Naco Monday evening, which resulted in the death of John Clauson, says the 1'rospcctor. From what we were able to learn of the affair it seems that Clauson was somewhat under the in fluence of liquor and was engaged il; fighting with a woman in one of the wine rooms in the rear of one of the saloons. when the cries of the woman reached the ears of Deputy Sheriff Nody Wilson. He entered the room and told Clauson to stop beating the woman. Clauson replied that he would not, at the same time reaching for his gun, and succeeded in getting it out of his pocket, when Wilson shot him through the chest. Clauson's gun went off but the shot went through the side of the building.
 A coroner's jury exonerated Wilson from all blame.

SALT RIVER VICTIMS
One Man Drowned; Family Escaped
 but Narrowly.

One life thus far has been the forfeit for the present freshet in Salt river and a family of six had a narrow escape, being rescued yesterday after some fast and hard work As certain as night follows day, death follows every big demonstration made by Salt river. The more furious the big stream be- comes the greater its attractive force seems to be and nearly always someone who thinks he can conquer It is drawn into its surging depths. If the fool hardy one is lacking then some strange fate provides an innocent one who is overtaken where he cannot get away
 Yesterday morning between and g o'clock, Night Watchman George Me Clarty reported to the sheriff's office that a family named Tilgate was stranded on an island in Salt river and that if there was any further rise in the river they would most likely be crowned The island in question is at the Gray crossing approached from the foot of Seventh street. The river at that point consists of three channels and between them are various big sand bars that have grown up with willows and other scrubby trees till they have dttdiueu lHe uiSHleS oi l9ioiluS- Ai-o Tilgate family consists of father, mother and five children and they have made their home on the island for some time, having built little shack. They keep a few goats that live by browsing along the Eiver and a further source of revenue for them has been the garbage dumps near the river bed, which they work over for anything oi va Inc that may he fO1uG

man. Mir. Cook, MT. Chamberlain and Deputy Sheriff Widmer then went to the river where they found q raging stream about 15O feet wide tunblinS and tearing down the deep channel be- tween the island and the north bank. Mr. Chamberlain, however, was master of the situation and in a short time had the family sately landed on this side the channel. Their condition was sure " precarious for the water was within three feet of the door of their little house. While it got no higher yester- day no man could tell whether it would or not and the reports of heavy rains in the north on Wednesday made peo- pie generally exrect another raise; q raise which may come today.
 1t might seem to some that it was not a brilliant proceeding for the Tilgate family tC get caught in such a predica- ment and cvidian tly they did not fully understand the peculiarities Of the riv CT. It has been high for several days but not high enough to cut them off from the shore and yesterday the big rise came 1uCdenly, in one monster wave and with no warning.
 The Tilgate children say they are certain they saw one man drowned when the big wave came down the riv- CT. He was trying to ford the stream with a blackboard. While in midstream the big wave rolled down and practic- ally submerged him. The blackboard was tipped over and together with the team and driver went down the river. The driver was yelling piteCusly for help but there was no one to throw life line The Tilgate family had nothing to help him with and beside it was busy just at that time working under the first law of nature.
 Inquiry regarding the identity of the drowned man has been without result.

Secretary of City Improvement Society Says
Special Department Deals With the Evil.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Because The Tribune has taken care to
look into the matter of the smoke nuisance. vent
ure to write again in the premises. Through the
efforts of the Municipal Art League of Chicago, an
ordinance was passed lately in that city by which
new department has been created by the con
solidation of the Boiler Inspection Department
with the Smoke Bureau of the Health Department
The chief boiler inspector and the consulting me-
chanical engineer and the smoke inspectors form
an efficient board of inspection. and it is already
doing useful work.
The writer is in receipt of a letter from the
retary of the league above mentioned. in which
ne says; We have every hope that this ordinance
VIII be enforced to the extent of practically de-
stroying the smoke nuisance in this city within
one years time. and if It continues TO Oe enforced
II viii make US free from Objectionable smoke for
ever. This goes further than has ever been at
tempted anywhere else. The law has been pro-
nounced by the best experts to be the most COM
pete ordinance for safety Of boilers that has ever
been passed and its peculiar feature is that II
brings all the inspectors into department. so
each can cooperate with the other for the pre-

And further and better still, 1t is made the duty
