CUTTING SCRAPE,
 ALMOST MURDER Results From Drunken Quarrel on Saturday. Two Recent Arrivals From New Mexico Settle Dispute With
 Knives Results Serious.

Byron Hill and John Spear, broth
 ers-in-law, and recent arrivals here
 from New Mexico went out Saturday
 to visit the latter's son, who is mem-
 Der of the militia company, from Tempe, in the National Guard en- campment. The paroxysm of joy over the meeting of the young man was so great as to intoxicate the two men with delight, and after taking their departure from camp the intoxication seemed to be frightened by climate or other influences. The result was a quarrel, and Hill claims that Spear threatened to "cut his belly out" at the same time drawing a knife as if he meant what he said. Not wishing to have the cutting operation performed on him, Hill drew knife and as he claims, in self defense, proceeded to carve Spear. He seemed to have been an adept in the matter, as when he got through, Spear had cut in the back on each sho 1lder blade vertical cut and horizontal cut on the right cheek and gash cut across his throat almost from ear to ear. It might seem from the above that an ejaculation of "enough" would be superfuous but Spear yelled it out just the same, and Hill, after looking over his bloody work, drove hastily to Granite Dells, where Ed. Shumate notified the sher- ifs office, and Deputy Heisler drove out and arrested Hill and brought Spear into the county hospital. It was first thought that Spears wounds would prove fatal, but Spear has been getting along we'll since being placed in the hospital.

Republican Primary.

The republican primary eelction in
 Prescott passed off quietly although accompanied by considerable activity and for primary fairly good vote
 being boiled, as the full strength of the party is seldom obtained at a primary. There were two tickets in the field the division being on the candidate for sheriff; one being head ed "Vote for c. c. Keeler for sheriff'' and the other having the plain head ing "Joe Roberts Ticket" The Keeler tickets were printed on plain white paper and the Roberts printed on pink paper. Each ticket contained the names of twenty-seven of the leading citizens of Prescott, five of the names being on both tickets. Carriages were also much in evidence carrying voters to the polls and friends of the respective candidates kept busy all day, working for their favorite candidate. The Roberts tick ct was successful with a majority of twenty seven, the names being as follows: R. H. Burmister, Ben V. Weaver, Chas. H. AIlabach, Paul Hastings, Guilford Hathaway, Dr. J. R. Walls, Ben Blackburn, Robert Brow, E. B. Modem, Dr. W. s. Smith, W. H. Potts, l.. B. Larrimore, c. A. Peter, pr. R. J. Roper, J. c. Brad bury, W. H. Ferguson, W. N. Kelly, J. A.

CHARGED WITH
 PRIZE FIGHTING MCMahOn and MCClung
 in Laws Tolls.
Each Held Under One Thousand Dollars Bond to Answer to
 Grand Jury.

When Deputy United States Attor- neyal Campbell and Deputy Marshal Foster arrived in Prescott last week, to conduct the hearing of the case against Holbert, charged with assault in forest ranger, they learned that the law of the United States had been warped, if not actually broken by an alleged fisticuff exhibition given under the auspices of the Prescott Athletic club, the star performers being Prof. McMahop and Kid Me CIung. Parties who witnessed the alleged fight prior to the appearance here of these United States officials reported to the Journal Miner that it was a beautiful exhibition of "upper cuts, '" Cleft swings''and "hot rights" and all that sort of pugilistic talk, but since, they state it was really more in the nature of wrestling match, or tugging match than anything else.
 Whatever the nature of it the Assist ant United States Attorney made out a complaint against McMahon and McClung and they were taken before Court Commissioner Forest, who after hearing the particulars, as sworn to by those who had witnessed it, decided that there was at least a strong probability of the law having been broken and held the couple under S1, 900 bonds which were promptly furnished.
 McClung is said to have received a tip few days before in the shape of an anonymous note advising him to get out of town as there would be something doing in few days, but he did not pay any attention to it.
 The action of the officers created considerable anxiety and uneasiness among the prominent citizens ' who witnessed the athletic exhibition as they did not wish to be called as witnesses.

Autumn Fashions.

The vogue of Louis XVI. and direc toire styles is now assured, says The Delineator for October. All dresses are lavishly decorated and the hand work on even the simplest frock makes it a costly affair. These styles, however. are to a certain extent adapt able to individual tastes and needs.
 The smartest model of the tailored coat is a tight-htting affair thirty six or fifty inches in length, and it's success lies in perfect adjustment and finish. Many of these long jack cts are made very tight back and front or loose all around in tourist effect. Some of the smart people will adopt, this season, the velvet Louis coat, with the cloth skirt of the same color, and shades of tan are the choice of the most fastidious. There are those who will reverse this idea, and wear the velvet skirt with the cloth coat, which is quite as modish.
 The stomacher, as the long, boned, deep point of the fashionable bodice is called is much in evidence. Deep pointed girdles and belts distinguish many of the most stylish gowns, and in these a touch of harmonizing or color can be introduced.

WEEKS ENCAMPMENT OF THE
 ARIZONA MILITIA REGIMENT
Officers and Men Have Strenuous Time and Obtain Valuable Experience in Military Matters---Governor Brodie
 Visits the Camp.

In Governor A. O. Brodie, trained military man, a graduate of Wes Point, and in Col. B.W. Leavell, adju tant general of the territory, also re tired army officer, the national guard of Arizona has two staunch and enthu. siastic friends. The present high state of efficiency of Arizona's militia is very largely due to the interest the above officials have taken in the matter and the enthusiasm and aid which they have imparted to the various military companies in the territory.
 The National guard of Arizona con- sists of six companies of infantry, two of cavalry. Its men comprises the cream of the young citizenship of the territory and its officers are enthu- siastic in their work.
 One of the results of the interest taken by the governor and adjutant general, has been manifested during the past week in the encampment north of town at the military target range. It was established on We'd nesday of last week and the soldiers will break camp tomorrow, Thursday morning, and leave for their respec- tive homes. The week has been one not only of great interest, but of great benefit to the organization and the money appropriated by the general government to defray the expenses of the encampment has been money we'll expended.
 It has not been a week of one con- tinuous picnic either, for officers and men have been at work assiduously, and there have been drills, and drills and then there were more drills.

There have also been reviews, dress parades, guard mounts, with slight sprinkling of target practice between times. During the week, the men have been real, genuine soldiers as the same strict discipline maintained in the regular army has been in vogue, and Captain Kinnison or the 29th in fantry, stationed at Whipple was de- tailed as inspector, and instructor of the camp.
 While the drills and exercises re- ceived by the militia, at their meet ings in their home towns are all good as far as they go, they are not as strenuous, nor attended with the dIs- cipline required in the field under strict military rule, hence this weeks encampment has been a school of in- struction to both officers and men, as we'll as a school of practice.
 Col. J. H. McClintock, in con- mand of the regiment of the territor- rial militia was in command of the encampment during the week. Col. McClintock is a natural born soldier, being soldiery in his bearings and actions and has also seen active ser vice as a real soldier in time of war, having been in command of a troop of Roosevelt's rough riders, and received serious wounds in action at Ell Caney. For his bravery on that occasion he was promoted to be a major, hence a better man for colonel of the Arizona regiment or for camp commander would be hard to find. Soldiery and dignified though he be, he is courteous and

WAS MURDERED
 IN COLD BLOOD Justice Reynolds Killed
 at Grown King.
Andres Bustamente Fired Three Shots at Him, One of Which
 Took Effect.

On Friday night about 10 o'clock a
 telephone message was received at the
 sheriff's office that Justice of the Peace
 J. B. Reynolds had been killed in
 cold blood at Crown King. Details of
 the crime were maeger, but it was
 learned that the murdered man was shot in cold blood by a Mexican
 named Andres Bustamante, and that the assassin was still at large. A des- criptiOn was given of the murderer sufficient for identification which was telephoned to Phoenix and all sur rounding camps.
 Sheriff Roberts at once hired a special train and accompanied by sev- eral deputies, with horses loaded in an express car left quickly for the scene of the crime. He arrived at Crown King during the night, and at day break took the trail of the murderer. Jus tice R. P. Talbot accompanied him in order to hold a proper inquest and make such disposition of the body of Justice Reynolds as seemed proper.
 Justice Talbot returned on Satur- day evening from holding the inquest. He stated that the shooting occurred in Miller's saloon, but very little evidence was brought out at the in quest that would throw any light on it or as to the cause of it.
 Reynolds and Bustamante had taken a number of drinks together during the day, but as far as known there had been no quarrel. At the time of the shooting Reynolds was unarmed, or at least no weapon was found on his person, or in the immediate vicinity.
 Bustamsnte fired three shots, one only of whic b took effect and that penetrated Reynolds heart lodging underneath the skin in his back. The bullet was cut out by Justice Talbot and is in his possession.
 After being shot Reynolds staggered out of the saloon into the open air where he fell dead. Bustamante went to a neighboring saloon where he coolly took drinkIof whisky and when asked what the shooting was he stated that he had fired his pistol into the air. He left immediately after the shooting.
 Bustamante was looked upon as a bad "hombre'' and the Mexicans in the Bradshaw mountains stood in mortal dread of him. He was one of the two Mexicans who attempted to K. Barrett some time ago, and was shot through the neck by Bar rett, the other one being knocked out by blow with pick handle by Bar rett. During the Philippine war, Reynolds ] acted as packer in the service of the |, army. He was quiet and peaceable | citizen, his worst failing being weakness for strong drink, which he indulged at times, but even when drinking was not quarrelsome.
