KILLED THE MEXICAN
sLAsHEp AT SUPERINTENDENT
 CLIFFORD WITH KNIFE.
Johnson Mining Camp Scene of the Troubie-cIifford Shoots His AssaiI- ant, with Fatal Results.

At ] o'clock Fridayafternoon Mine Superintendent Monroe Clifford, son of former Superintendent w. J. CliffarG, of the Dragoon Copper Mining com pany, operating at Johnson, severa miles north of Dragoon Summit. wa stabbed by a Mexican named Leandr, Martinez. who was promptly laid los. by Clifford, who is good shot.
 It seems that Martinez had been dis charged and since then he had been disturbing the other laborers. He was in front of Page & Co.'S store, where he was met by Clifford. who ordered him away, but the Mexican was dis posed to be ugly in his drunken con dition. During the discussion between the men Martinez quickly drew a dirk with blade ten inches in length and with an upper cut struck Clifford on the lower left rib, the blade glancing and leaving a deep gash, from which Clifford lost considerable blood before the flow was checked.
 Clifford rushed into Feige's store and asked the clerk for sixshooter,
Bisbee daily review., 1903-07-09

and the later hurried to the garret, where he secured the weapon. Upon receiving the gun Clifford made for the open and fired four shots at the fleeing Mexican, the fourth taking effect be- tween the shoulder blades. The Mex ican fell dead in his tracks. 100 yards away.
 MT. Clifford was taken to Cochise station, nine miles away. and from there went to the Tucson hospital. Dr. Fenner was summoned and dressed the wound. He said that it was a narrow escape for Clifford. Had the knife penetrated deeper the consequences would have been fatal.
 W. A. Fiege of Russellville and J. NJ. Pickarts of Wilcox hurled to Tucson to see their injured friend.
 Mir Fiege. in speaking of the mat ter, said the assault made by the Mex ican was unprovOked, and justified the action of Clifford in using the gun. and with deadly aim. Mir. Fiege was sat isfied that the coroner's jury must render a verdict in accordance there with. Mir Clifford, he said, is a young man of quiet habits and good executive ability and in the perform ance of his duty found it necessary to pursue a rigorous course with unruly men in the companys employ.

COURTHOUSE ADDITION
ARCHITECT JOHNSON HAS COM PLETED THE PLANS.
What the Work Will include. Court Room Enlarsed.- Contract wiH Be Awarded July 17.

Architect F. E. Johnson, of this city, has returned from Tombstone where he went last Monday to submit the perfected plans for the new addi- tion to the county court house to the board of supervisors. There has been some changes suggested from the original plans and as changed were accepted by the board and the clerk was directed 70 advertise for bids on the work up Q Jag i.:.. when they will be opened and the con tract for the work awarded.
 The plans call for a two story addition to the old court house and tail building where the prisoners from all parts of Cochise county have been kept safely for many years an4 where the civil and criminal cases coming under the jurisdiction of the courts for the county have been heard.
 The addition will be 3Sx3S feet. and two stories high. Every modern con venienee is included in the plans for the new structure. The jury rooms will be spacious and airy and fitted with conveniences which will tend to make jury life a pleasure rather than a bore. Lavatories of up to date pattern will be provided in the jurors quarters and the plumbing the best that money and workmanship can make.
 Particular attention has been paid to the cell rooms where the prisoners will be confined. The arrangement of cells and corridors will be a great improvement over the old and bath rooms and promenades for the prison CTS have been put into plans. A spi- ral iron stairway leads from the cell room to the prisoners dock thus doing away with the trouble of bringing prisoners through other rooms in the building before getting them into court
 The regular court room will be greatly enlarged by the addition and therel will also be. besides the two jury rooms on the second floor, the offices of the district judge and those of the clerk of the district court.
 The two story vault for the safe keeping of records and papers will be an important feature of the court house when the addition is finished
 In all there are sixteen cells to be added; two of which are for the use of insanity patients, and are padded One of these cells will be sx11, and the others 10x11.
 Visitors to the old landmark at Tombstone will hardly recognize the court house when the annex has been added. As soon as the contracts for the work have been assigned, the work of building will be started at once.

TO REBUILD OLD BRIDGE.
LtndenthaL Submits Plan to Mayor
Cost about So 800, 900.

Bridge Commissioner Lindenthsl yesterday sent
TO Mayor Low a supplement 10 q former report
dealing with the proposed scheme either radi-
caily to improve altogether TO rebuild the Brook
lyn Bridge. The report follows In part:
The present bridge structure was never intended
and dimensioned for the traffic il has bear now
chorages is II, wornout and weakened condition,
requiring constant and expensive repairs 10 keep
safe. The rebuilding Of the bridge has become
imperative.
find it practicable to convert the present oil
structure with one deck into a new structure with
TWO decks, arranged to accommodate four elevated
separated from the Toadways. each OF which Will
be II feet wide. That will make 1t possible TO run
trolley cars over the bridge at twice the speed OF
transit must be obtained by elevated railroad
trains, for which four tracks provided, in
place Of the present two tracks.
II is intended TO place stairways and elevators at
each anchorage to make the bridge accessible
from the streets below. The stone towers will be
somewhat heightened in order to provide a roof for
the masonry. AT present the top Of the tower Is
out danger The roadways will be freDroof They
Viii have steel channel foundation, with wooden
block paving
The reconstructed structure will have accommo-
tracks, and the lower deck for two trolley
tracks, TWO paved roadways II feet each. and TWO
promenades each Si1 feet wide in the clear.
The design is laid out that the bridge be
reconstructed without much disturbance Of the
traffic over it. Nevertheless, II should not be
undertaken until the Manhattan Bridge shall have
been completed
An approximate estimate Of cost for the work
outlined from anchorage TO anchorage and includ-
ing the same is $5,141OO0- For extending the ele-
waited railroad lines TO the terminals at both ends
same estimate is 1851. Co., This gives a total esti-
mated cost of &, $4,000. or. say, S5500,000.
