Death of M. Sitter.

I, George Sitter received a telegram
today from his sister. Miss Mary Stitz-
er, stating that their brother. Martin,
had passed away in Los Angeles at
two o'clock this morning.
Martin came to Prescott about three
years ago and was employed in the
Prospect office as book keeper and
solicitor. and during the time that
he was connected with the paper made
many friends by his kindly and court
eous manners. About year and a
half ago he was taken ill with fever
which seemed to settle in his hip and
side and after suffering for weeks and
months and undergoing several opera
tions he was taken to Los Angeles,
where it was hoped he might be help
ed by the change of climate, but these
hopes have been dashed to earth and
poor Martin, in spite of the tireless
and loving watchful care that his de-
voted sister gave him and all that
medical skill could do, passed away
as above stated. He will be buried in
Los Angles, and his sister. who has
been by his side almost constantly
since he was taken sick, will return to
her home in Meadville, Penn.

SHOOTING AFFAIR
IN BIB. STORE
Dolly Takes Three Shots
at Berry.
Two Balls Enter Berry's Arm and
One Strikes Him in
the Back.

A lively shooting affair took place
this morning in the store room of the
Bashford- Burmister company. in
which W. ID. Berry was painfully but
not seriously wounded, the shooter
being B. b. Dolly.
The circumstances of the shooting,
as near as could be learned, was over
an order that had been taken in the
store by Mr.. Berry Saturday night.
1t is a rule of the store that no order
taken after six o'clock on Saturday
night need be delivered by the
drivers. Saturday night there was an
order taken for some hay and it was
claimed by Mr.. Berry that the order
was taken before six o'clock, but Mr..
Dolly, who has been a driver at the
store for several months, claimed that
the order was taken after six and he
refused to deliver it. He was explain
ing the reason for his refusing to de-
liver the order to Mr.. Hope, the pres
ident of the company. when Mr.. Berry
came up and some words passed be-
tween Berry and Dolly when sudden
ly Berry struck him, knocking him
down. Dolly sprang to his feet and as
he came up he pulled 81 calibre pis-
tol fromshis pocket and fired at Berry,
who started to run. He fired another
shot, both balls striking Berry in the
left arm, below the elbow and the
other ball striking the muscle of the
arm above the elbow and embedding
itself in the shoulder. Berry then
dropped down behind q counter and
as he dropped down Dolly fired again,
the ball blowing furrow across his
back Berry was taken at once to DIR.
Sawyer's Office, where his wounds we're
dressed. The ball in the shoulder
was not located, but the X-Rays will
be used tonight to locate the ball and
it will then be removed. Dolly drove
to his home in West Prescott as soon
as the shooting was over and told his |
wife what had happened. While he
was there Sheriff Roberts went to the
house and placed him under arrest |
and he was placed under $500 bonds, /
which he gave aud was released. His
preliminary examination will be held
next Friday before Justice Talbot.
Mr.. Dolly has been a trusted en-
plOye of the B.-B Co. store for near
" year, and has lived in this vicin-
ity for several years and has always
been considered very quiet and
peaceable young man, and has born
a good reputation. The Journal
Miner man talked with several of the
of the store who saw the
whole thing and they with one voice
declare that Berry was to blame, as be
is much larger man than Dolly. who
is a small man and not in very coed
health and is no match for Berry
physically.
Mr.. Berry was seen and he admitted
that he was the aggressor in the trou-
BILE and said he did not intend to ap-
pear against Dolly in the matter. He
said he was glad that the matter was
not more serious and as he was not
badly injured he desired to have it
dropped.

painted as elaborate a picture as be

NEW ENGINES
SHIPPED TODAY
For Santa Fe, Prescott
and PheniX.
They Are Expected to Arrive in
Prescott in About
Ten Days.

Word was received today a: the
chief engineers Office of the S. f. P
Il P. in tbs city, that the three new
oil burning engines Nos. IA. 10, and
is, which have been ordered for some
time, were shipped from Dunkirk,
New York, this morning. They were
ordered to be rushed through as fast
as it is possible to get them over the
track, and if nothing unforeseen hap
pens they are expected to arrive here
in about ten days. There will be no
time lost in getting them into COM
mission as soon as they arrive here, as
the road has been short on motive
power for some time, the thirteen en-
gines which the company now own
and one or two which they have had
rented, being crowded to their utmost
capacity to handle the tonnage that
has come over the road, the business
having increased to such an extent
that the engines have not even had
time to go into the shops occasionally
TO be overhauled and repaired, and
have had to work away when they
were hardly in shape to go on the
road. This has been the cause of the
trains being late so much the past few
weeks. 1t is for this reason that the
company is so anxious to get their
pouy opnino5 in,
While the company will only have
sixteen engines they will have one en-
CINE numbered II. This is accounted
for by the fact that they will have no
No. Is, and the engine which would
have born that number will be II in
stead The reason for skipping the
l3 spot is because many engineers are
and will not run on an
engine with the hoo-doo number.
When the s. F. P. 4 P. complete
their road between Ash Fork and Phe-
nix they had six engines and they
we're not all busy, but the volume of
business has constantly grown and
they have been compelled to add
more and more to their rolling stock
until they have nearly trebled their
motive capacity and all other rolling
stock has been likewise .inceased. At
the present rateo of increase it will not
be two years more until the business
of the road will require at least twenty
five engines.

MINING INTELLIGENCE

Ed S. Campbell. general manager
for the Stark Mining company, re-
turned Monday night from the Hid
den Treasure mine, on lower Turkey
creek, which the company is now max
ing extensive preparations to develop
on large scale. He reports that the
new road from Turkey creek station
to the property has been completed
and put in fine shape. This will
shorten the distance between the rail
road and the mines to about four
miles and give them fine wagon
road, with scarcely any grade. The
boarding house has been completed
and other buildings are now being
erected. The lumber is on the ground
for the new mill and word has been
received that part of the machinery
is now on the road from the east.
The frame of the mill will be put up
at once and as soon as the machinery
arrives and is set in place the mill
will be enclosed and work rushed with
all possible speed to Tget things in
shape to begin the work of under
ground development

Every mining country has to con
tend with a certain element who are
always ready to discourage any propo-
sition that makes its appearance, to
give black eye to any person who
endeavors to start a company for the
development of mining ground. And
these people will work doubly hard if
T. is on piece of property that mas
been worked before, then for some rea-
son abandoned. 1t is the rule that
good mining ground is discovered by
men with little or no means, so not
unusual that during its early history,
while its owners are endeavoring to
work without the assistance of the
necessary capital, their efforts seem
to be for the time being futile There
are many ways in which good mining
ground may be worked by men most
honest in their intentions, who are
nevertheless entirely unsuccessful in
their efforts to make a dividend pay
er. The hills are covered with tun-
nels and shafts, with here and there
the remnants of a mill. chlorination
plant, shaft house or some kind of a
reduction plant, many of which repre-
sent the disappointment of men who
claimed to know more or less about
mining, and who put forth their best
efforts to make their properties pay.
Some fail because of poor manage
ment, others because of difficulty in
recovering values, or there are dozens
of ways for disappointment in proper
ties that have proven to contain
plenty of ore of a good commercial
grade. Therefore, it is not unusual
to see company take hold of a prop
osition with which others have failed
to succeed, and make it win: and the
man who will attempt to discourage a
concern that is willing to take such a
property, who will blackmail and
oppose it simply for the reason that it
failed before, or because of some ne
cunity personal interest. real or as
sumed, does not deserve the support
Of any legitimate concern. Yet this
very thing is being done. Some there
are who have at one time owned an
interest in such property, but think
ing it valueless sold it for a mere nom
inal price, and cannot bear to see the
purchaser make a big thing of his
