Episcopal Services.

Last Sunday, Low Sunday, or the
octave of Easter, the order of music
on Easter day was repeated with some
slight alterations, at the Episcopal
church.
Morning prayer was said, alone.
There was a fair average congrega-
ton.
If we criticised the choir, it would
be to remark that the singing was GER
tainly crisper and more lovely.
The Rev. F. Bennett preached from
LIST Corinthians, 18th chapter and
Dist verse.
''For since by man came death
He said, in brief: The higher life
of the resurrection was considered
last Sunday. We must think of the
need of living on earth, that we may
reach the resurrection to the higher
life.
What makes up our existence at pres
emit, is not a series of disconnected
events. 1t is not sad strange med
ley of incidents, there is DO incon-
sistency in it all. This mortal exist
ence has great realities, it has Hope,
a grand result.
But however useful, however honor
able in its character, this life is only
preliminary, preparatory for
"That house not made with hands,
eternal in the Heavens
Which ought to be our home. 1t is
mistake to think that death is the
beginning of eternity. Birth is the be-
ginning of eternity. 'Here, We have
eternal life,'' says st. John.
In proportion as we love and serve
God, so our views are enlarged and
widened.
AS Christians we do not share the
view of the Old Testament, which
tells that life is vanity and vexation
of spirit ~
If we are sickly and feeble, we are
not to complain.
We have many blessings here below.
We believe that our present sufferings
are not to be compared with the joy
which shall be ours. We have the
foretaste of that 'peace which passeth
understanding, we have the comfort
ing presence of God the Holy Ghost,
we are encouraged and Strengthened.
five are healthy and robust, we have
great opportunities to do Gods SER
vice.
Whether feeble or strong. we should
try to set forth Gods Kingdom. Our
service is to be of body, soul and
mind, not of lip merely.
We are to guard against absorption
in the world, and the things of the
world.
We must sanctify everything by as
sociating our lives with Gods will.
Let us remember our true position
therefore.
We are only pilgrims here, we have
"no continuing city," We are SOL
diers fighting the battle of God
against the Devil.
We are camping on long journey.
May we be pitching our tent each day,
lone march nearer home.''
At evening prayer, there was a
small congregation, but the music was
good, particularly an anthem at the
offertory, "Why Seek We the Living"
by George b. Nevin.

two was caused by a foul ball striking
g. A. Bray in the eye. Mr.. Bray
was wearing pair of glasses which
were broken all to pieces and pieces
of the glass cut the eye ball quite
badly and it was feared for some time
that the sight of the eye might be
lost. A physician was hastily secured
and the broken PARTICLES of glass were
removed and the wound caused by the
ball was dressed, after which Mr..
Bray was removed to the Mercy hospi-
tai where he still remains, although
he is reported much improved today
and there is no doubt but the sight of
the eye will be saved. The other &C
cident was the bursting of one of
Catcher Ruiz fingers. While this &C
cident is very painful it is not so SER
iOus. When Mr.. Ruiz was injured
Howard Burmister took his place be-
hind the bat and although it was his
first experience as a catcher he did
the work in a splendid manner.

FIGHT TO DEATH
WITH OUTLAW
Battle in Which -Four
Men Are Killed.
Murderer Mckinney Dies Fighting
at Bakersfield, California, on
Sunday Afternoon.

y A telegram from Bakersfield, dated
April 10, says: The long and exciting
pursuit of James Mckinney, outlaw
from Kingman, Arizona, ended in {
battle with the officers of law within
few blocks of the business center OF
this town today, two men being killed
and one fatally wounded. The dead are
James Mckinney, outlaw.
William E. Tbbet, deputy sheriff.
Fatally wounded:
Thomas K. Packard, city marshal.
The battle took place in large two
story brick building on the outskirts
of Chinatown, used by the Chinese
member of the Sui Ong Tong lodging
house as an opium den and joss house.
Here Mckinney was kept secreted for
two or three days. He had a compan-
ion, Al Hulse, an ex-convict, who
being member of the Chinese secret
society was enabled to enlist the aid
and sympathy of the Orientals in
harboring the outlaw.
Shortly before II o'clock this morn
ing Sheriffs Kelley of Kern, Collins of
Tulare and Lovin of Arizona, with
Officers Will and Burt Tibbets. Guy
Tower and City Marshal Packard, sur
rounded the house in which Mckinney
was known to be in hiding. Will lib
bets and Packard approached and
ordered the outlaw to surrender. Nc
Kinney answered by shooting. Will
Tibbets was shot through the stomach
and died shortly after; Packard was
shot through the neck and shoulders
and dangerously wounded. Burt lib
bets, brother of the dead deputy sher-
if, shot Mckinney through the mouth
and neck, killing him.
The house was a regular fort. In
the place with Mckinney was Al
Hulse, desperate. Mckinney had a
sawed off shot gun in his hand, while
Hulse used pistol. Hulse would not
obey the order to come out of the bar
ricaded house, and the fire depart
ment was ordered to the scene. Hulse
then surrendered. He was taken to
the county Jail.
Another accomplice of Mckinney
was known to be in the house where
the battle took place, but would not
surrender. The building was set on
fire. and in fifteen minutes the man .
who refused to give mis- name was
smoked out and taken to Jail. The
feeling runs very high against Hulse, /
and there is considerable talk tonight 1
of lynching.

the police court this morning, and
Judge McLane has been trying to find
out among his friends if he actually
looks "easy' or is the other fellow
only bad judge of dignity when he
sees it. Yesterday afternoon Judge
McLane was coming out of the back
door of his new rooming house, the
Grand, when he was stopped by a
husky looking young fellow :who had
a very valuable % ring which some
of his ancestors or other dear ones had
given him, but i'll fortune had placed
him in position where he needed
some ready cash and was compelled to
part with this treasure. Being desir-
Gus that some good person should
have the ring to remember an unfor-
tunate young mans need, he told the
judge in a whisper that he might have
it for the mere pittance of So. Not
having a desire to part the needy
young man from his treasure the judge
passed him up, but told George Giles
about the fellow, knowing that Giles
has a fondness for young men in
trouble. This morning the needy
young man found himself up before
the kind hearted man whom he had
intended should possess his jewelry.
The meeting of the two men was path
etic. Being of rooming house dis
position the judge provided his friend
with 80 days free lodging.
While he was in the business of pro-
vidng lodging His Honor gave two
common DRINKS and two fighters
twenty days each.

CAMERON TRAIL
Territory Wins Its Suit
in Flagstaff.
Court Held That the Transfer t,
Cameron from Original Loca-
tors Was Not Valid.

Flagstaff, April 1S.-(Special cor
respondence. )-On April 18 the dis
trict court of the fourth judicial dis
trict of Arizona decided at Flagstaff
the quo warranto proceedings brought
by the territory of Arizona against
Ralph II. Cameron in favor of the
plaintiff. Cameron had set up in Jan
uary toll gate near the head of the
Bright Angel trail leading from the
terminus of the Grand Canyon railway
down into the Canyon to the Colorado
river. He based his claim to the
right to exercise toll gathering fran
chise upon a filing made in 1891 by
Peter d. Berry, who never completed
the road nor collected tolls. The fl
ing for toll road under the Arizona
law covers term of ten years, and
this may be extended by the board of
supervisors for an additional term of
five years. Just before the expiration
of the l0-year term an extension was
granted to Berry and three men asso-
ciated with him. Shortly thereafter
they conveyed all their interests to
Ralph H. Cameron, who waited for
about two years and then put up toll
gate.
The proceedings we're brought in jan
uary by the territory to make him
show by what warrant he exercised the
franchise. The position was taken by
the territory that under the toll road
statute any right acquired by Berry
was not subject to alienation and that
it could pass to Cameron only by the
authority of the territory expressed in
the statute. This authority to convey
the statute did not grant and the dis
trict court accordingly held that Cam
eron acquired no right.
On the merits the territory was pre-
pared to show that as a matter of fact
the trail which is now travelled from
the Bright Angel Hotel down into the
Canyon was built by Lombard Goode
q Co., the protector and builder of
the Grand Canyon railroad. and that
it is highway entirely distinct lex
cept as to some Intersections from
the one which Berry and his grantees
claim to have constructed under the
Berry filing; and that if Cameron had
a right to collect tolls he was attempt
ing to do so on the wrong highway.
Although travel to the Canyon is
only just begun, it is estimated that |
at the present time the toll which |
Cameron proposed to collect would |
De worth sl2, 900 year, and that with
IN two or three years it would yield |
he toll gatherer many times this sum. |

road company, represented Attorney

Base Ball Sunday.

The great game of base ball be-
tween the mines picked from en-
ployes of the Bashford- Burmister Co.
and the r. H. Burmister d Sons Co.,
came off at the ball grounds yesterday
afternoon and was witnessed by an
immense crowd, estimated by some to
be as many as 1900 people. The great
popularity of these two firms and
their employees resulted in an army
of rooters for both teams, and these
friends went to the game carrying tin
horns and everything that could be
used in making a noise, and from the
time the game began, at 2:30 p. m,
until the close, two hours later, the
fun never ceased.

BRISTOW'S REPORT.
Summary Of Findings in the
Postal Investigation.

On April II, 1897, Michael w. Louis,
of Cincinnati, was appointed cashier in
the Kansas City, Mo, pOStOffice and
was detailed to the department as act
ing superintendent of the Supply di-
vision The civil service commission
was asked to except the position from
the classified service. This the commits
sion declined: but in July following it
did give a special examination, allow
ing Louis rating of so points for ex-
perienee acquired during the three
months he had been in charge of the di-
vision. AS a result of this rating Louis
passed a successful examination and
was appointed.
Contract for canceling Shortly
after Louis was placed in charge of
postoHice supplies the contract for can
ceiling ink was awarded to Ault & Wi
borg company, of Cincinnati, Ohio, at
a cents per pound, 4 cents higher than
other bids. Much of the ink furnished
by the new contractors was of inferior
quality, but instead of being returned
to the company it was paid for and
burned or thrown away on the city
dump. During the fiscal year 81. 600
pounds of eanceling ink were bought
from the Ault & Wiborg company cost
ing $14, 3S752. while during the previous
year but 10000 pounds had been used
at cost of $4, S02.65.
For the fiscal year 1S9S-99 no contract
was awarded for canceling ink. and
from March, 1899, until the beginning of
the fiscal year 1923, Louis bought can
ceiling ink from the Ault & Wiborg COM
pany at so cents per pound. 6 cents
higher than the last competitive bid. 10
cents higher than was paid before Louis
became superintendent and from 4 to 8
cents higher than present cost.

NEY-

The administrative methods of Tyner
and Barrett are clearly illustrated in a
number of cases which were passed
upon bv them.
E. c. Lewis.-E. c. Lewis, of St.
Louis. Mo-, was conducting what is
known as an endless chain" scheme.
Barrett ruled that his scheme was a
lottery but no fraud order was issued
and as an acknowledgment of Barrett's
lenient treatment Lewis presented him
with gold watch.
Samuel Harris.-Samuel Harris, of
New York, published in the papers a
picture of an eye, then the letters D
and A, followed by the picture of a hoe.
The advertisement announced that $100
reward would be given to anyone who
would correctly answer the name of
the state represented in the picture.
When an answer was sent in the cor
respondent was advised that under the
rules of the company it was necessary
before cash prize could be given for
him to purchase one package of the
renowned CuraIine tablets, costing so
cents. After buying the package the
victim was advised that so great a
number had answered correctly that it
became necessary to divide the 500
prize among them equally. The amount
due each would not exceed 2 or s cents
A fraud order was issued against
Harris. but after Barrett retired from
office he became Harris attorney, had
the fraud order revoked and Harris
without interruption.
Cassius M Upton.-Cassius M. Upton,
publisher of a cheap illustrated paper
in Chicago, sought to extend his circu-
lation by the puzzle plan. In one of
his schemes he submitted the initials
of nine leading railroads running out
of Chicago, with the names of the roads
spelled out, emitting few of the let
ters. He offered $500 reward for full
correct answers to the list. The condi-
ton was that in order to get a prize it
would be necessary to send 81 for a
years subscription to Upton's Illus
trated Weekly. The puzzle was so
simple that anyone could answer it
correctly. The result was that the $500
prize would have been divided up I'M
til the winners would receive less than
cents each. and this Upton failed to
distribute. He was arrested for using
the mails to defraud. Assistant Attor-
