Bisbee daily review., 1903-01-24

President Roosevelt has acted harshly and with a suggestion of the autocratis spirit in abolishing the post office at Indianola, Miss, rather than accept the resignation of a wo- man postmaster to whom the citizens of the town objected, but who had not been threatened or intimidated in any manner The smallest American vii lage has rights which even the most strenuous American president must respect, and Indianola's right to a postofice has now been sacrificed in politicians play for personal profit as a candidate for the presidential nomination.

Davev Interviewed.

When called on at the county jail by a Times reporter last night, J. R. Dayey was in his cell nervously turn ing the leaves of a magazine. On learning his caller was reporter Davey said:
 There's nothing to talk about; it will all be fixed up in the morning. This trouble dates back two years and a woman is at the bottom of it. I met Dr. Weeks at Bisbee. He drugged me and the woman too. Yes, drugging is the cause of the present trouble The doctor is a travelling side show, and I have absolutely no use for the gentleman"
 Though nervous the young man did not appear to be wrong mentally, and his friends say the doctor will not be able to produce in court any such let ter as he alleges to have received from J. R. Davey.
 The case will doubtless be disposed of today.

no one knows that better than the senator from Indiana"
 MT. Beyeridge responded by saying that the thing to do was to find out who was really obstructing.
 We will discover that by vote, " retorted Mir. Quay.
 MT. Beyeridge said it was the same old argument: We have the votes and are ready to go ahead"
 MT. Quay interrupted with a propo- sition that unanimous consent be given for a vote on the bill on Satur- day, the 24th instant
 MT. Beveridge showed some irrita- tion at the interruption, saying it was hardly pertinent to the point he was discussing. The senator from Penn sylvania, said MT. Beveridge, has se- cured pledges and has surrounded himself with a corps so impervious to the assaults of reason that he propos- es to rush the bill through.
 "The statement of the senator from Indiana" said MT. Quay, 'is false. " Which he later corrected to untrue. ''
 Mir Beveridge characterized the use of the words "willful obstruction as audacious, because, he said. MT. Quay bad announced that unless, he got what he demanded needful legisla' tion would be side-tracked.
 MT. Beveridge then proceeded to discuss the bill favoring statehood for Oklahoma and Indian territory.

 The committee amendments were agreed to without division, and as amended the bill was passed. The statehood bill then was taken up. MT Beveridge had begun to speak when MT Quay demanded a vote. Before any other senator has a chance to talk on the bill?" asked MT Beveridge.
 Yes. I do not care whether anoth CT person speaks or on the bill or not I am prepared for a vote now" re piled MT. Quay
 MT. Beyeridge opposed the sugges tion.

TELL STRANGE STORY.
J. R. Davey Claims To Have Been
 Drugqed in Bisbee.

DTUSSeo n 6iSDce.
 A strange and rather mysterious case came to light in Fl Paso Wednes- day at noon when Dr. O. D. Weeks called at the office of County Judge Sweeney and swore out a complaint for the arrest of J. R.Davey on the charge of lunacy. An officer of the sheriff's office arrested Davey and took him to the county jail.
 The Fl Paso Times says: MT. Davey is about25years RRDL HRDLUUUU is about 25 years old and is employed in the once of the car accountant of the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad. He is a bright, capable young man and those who have been working in the same office with him say they never noticed anything in his conduct or conversation that would indicate that his mind was the least affected. All of his associates speak in the high est terms of the young man.
 A Strange Story.
 Dr. Weeks in fling his complaint of lunacy, said he had never met Davey, but that few days ago he re- ceived a long communication signed 'J R. Davey," in which the writer charged the doctor with having pois- oned him; that the poison employed was not harmful if taken internally but that small drop of it placed on the end of a persons nose meant a sure, though lingering death.
 The doctor alleges further that in his communication Davey demanded the payment of S100,000, but said he would drop the matter if Weeks would deed to the writer the property on Mesa avenue which he (Weeks) had recently vacated. Weeks said he did not own the property mentioned; that he felt confident Davey had lost his reason; that he was dangerous and might attempt the life of himself, Dr Weeks
 J. R. Davey came to Fl Paso several weeks ago from Douglas, Ariz.

Tragic Meeting of Two Parties Search
ing at Night for Burglars.
Plymouth, n. H. Feb. 5.-Captain
George H. Colby, Boston and Maine
station agent here, was shot by mis-
take by Policeman Lewis C. Mills about
midnight, and is now lying dead at his
home.
About IL o'clock last night the station
was entered by two masked men, who
held up Thomas McCough, then in
charge. They ransacked the money
drawer and made their escape, going
up the Pemigewasset Valley railroad
tracks toward Livermore Falls. Cap
tain Colby was notified and boarded a
light engine in charge Of Frederick
Smith to pursue the men.
Meanwhile Policeman Mills had been
notified, and, with Engineer Pike, of
the Cannon Ball. train, took team
and drove towards Livermore Falls
along the highway. They reached the
bridge at the Falls and alighted, Mills
going down towards the railroad track,
revolver in hand. AS he reached tile
track he saw a man with revolver.
The man cried out, Hands up!" and
Mills, thinking a burglar confronted
him, fired twice. 1t was soon discov-
cred that Captain Colby was the sup
posed robber. He was shot through the
body and died soon afterwards.
Captain Colby was quartermaster in
the First New Hampshire regiment
during the Spanish war and had been a
representative in the legislature. A
widow and four children survive him.
