winter weather both my wife and my
self contracted severe colds which
speedily developed into the worst kind

began using Chamberla;u.s Cough

completely knocked out the grip"

SECURED KRAG GUNS.

Deputies came to Hartsville and Sc
cured some Of the Krag guns from the
local military company to help shell
him out and firearms of every descrip-
tion were in constant use at the place
all day. A perfect fusilade was kept
up at all times till he was finally killed.
The wounded men of the posse are
not all seriously hurt.
Mr.. Kelley was one of the most pros
porous men of his neighborhood and
man who exerted among his people a
most excellent influence for good.
Everyone here feels it loss to the
section that he has been killed, for a
bigger hearted, more honest man 1t
! would be hard to find.
Neighbors insist that James was not
crazy when he murdered his wife and
| her brother. They say that he was an
CRY with Kelley for sending him to the
ASYLUM and that the murders followed
as result of this.
His actions today from all accounts
were remarkably deliberate and his
fight for eight hours remarkably well
conducted for man who was tempora-
rilv bereft Of mind.
No one will ever know, OF course,
what the true state of affairs was, but
the more charitably inclined are dis
posed naturally to believe that he was
nadly insane through it all.
There can be no doubt. however, that
Mr.. Kelley believed him insane when
he approached him this morning or else
he would not have acted IN way so
foreign to his usually careful, II fear
less disposition.
There was much excitement today
and men came from miles around and
participated in the battle at the house.
Thd coroner is now holding the in
quest.

seven children. ". En- Sunday

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN LUNATIC's
HOME.
Madison James Kills Wife and Brother-in.law.

Madison James Kills Wife and Brother-in.la aw.
Hartsville. Dec. 3.-Madison James
farmer living about FIVE miles from
this place in the Kelleytown section,
shot and killed his wife last night, mur-
dered his brother-in-law, Mr.. Sid Kel-
ley, this morning about 8 O'Clock and
was himself shot to death about 4
O'Clock this afternoon after an all day
fight BY sheritf's posse. James is a
man about 30 years of age and hereto
fore peaceaoie, inotfensive man.
Two years ago he was sent to the
asylum at Columbia and had been dis
charged and returned home only about
seven weeks ago.
Nothing is known OF the events lead
ing up to the killing of his wife last
night, except that James had threat
ened to kill his wife's mother yesterday
afternoon. Why this threat did not
impress her son, Mr.. Sid Kelley, who
is 4 very fearless and careful man, is
not known. At all events he shot his
wife to death in the early part Of, last
night and the other inmates OF the
house. his wife's mother and his two
half grown children, fed at once.
CALLED TO WINDOW.
Last night Mr.. Kelley went to the
house and called James to the window
and said to him that he was not armed
and not to shoot him. He then asked
James if he realized what he had done
and when James replied yes, that he
had killed Queen, Mr.. Kelley told him
that he was coming into the house.
James warned him that if he came in
he would be shot. All night Mr.. Kel-
ley tried to induce James to come out
and surrender and guaranteed him pro-
lection. TO all of these efforts James
replied that he would not come and
said he would shoot any one who at
tempted to come in.
Earlysthis morning Mr.. kelleyl sent
word to Rartsville for several OF his
friends to come up and advise and aid
him and went again to induce James to
come out. He went up to L window
with his gun over his shoulder and
smoking cigar and engaged James in
conversation and finally induced him to
hand him out $40 bill he had gotten
from Mrs. Kelley Friday. He hoped
to grab his hand when he handed out
the money and hold him but failed to
so. Kelley finally told James he was
coming into the house anyhow, and
turned to step down backwards off a
box on which he was standing. AS he
turned Off James shot him in the neck,
tearing out large part OF the side Of the
neck and killing him Instantly. Mr..
Kelley was smoking at the time and
his body fell backward, his gun across

ACTED a WITH GOODNESS.

James would allow no one to ap-
proach the place at all and acted with
the utmost deliberation and judgment
in defending himself and waging his
unequal battle for the next eight hours.
he was armed with shot gun and
plenty of shells, but fortunately with
nothing but small shot ammunition.
Sheriff Scarborough and a large posse
soon surrounded the house and tried in
every way to get possession OF James.
He would listen to no overtures for
surrender and shot all who came within
range. wounding Mr.. W. A. Sumner
and young Mr.. Seegars OF this place
and another young man whose name is
not known. Sheriff Scarborough mar.
rowly escaped being killed for James
shot at him twice as the sheriff opened
the front door and only missed him a
few inches. Sheriff Scarborough went
in the house twice and to the door OF
the room James was in and begged him
to surrender and promised to protect
him with his own life if necessary. He
cot no answer except q volley through
the door and the sheriff had to go about
getting his man in more careful man
ner. It was thought that the man
might be wounded and induced to sur
render but he fought with such cool
ness and daring that it was soon seen
he would have to be shot to death to
capture him. This even took some
time for James was secreted in the
chimney place where he emerged at
intervals to shoot at anyone who ap-
preached within range. The whole
end of the house 10 which the desperate
man was barricaded was shot to pieces
| by the posse of 300 or more men pres
| ent and James was wounded many
times before he was at last killed. q

TIE Guardian says that "there is a movement on foot among some of our local "capitalists" to start anot her newspaper in Safiord. So far the movement has not received much en- enlargement, for the reason that it has developed that the prime movers, finding that blufiing did not deter the assessor from assessing their cash and performing his sworn duty, think to get revenge by starting another paper. The people seem to be pretty well satisfied with the work the Guardian has done for this county, which is evidenced by the fact that 1t has outlived several "new papers" which have been established here during the past" They will find a newspaper pretty expensive luxury. It would be better business propOsi- ton to consolidate the newspapers of the valley, and even then there would be no bonanza in the business. How ever, some people are never satisfied with a newspaper unless they can dictate it's policy. little experience generally convinces them that it is not an easy matter to run news paper. Of course there is glory in it, but that don't pay the printers, and payday rolls around with painful regularity. The people down the valley should give BirdnO a show. He is doing the best he can. In the meantime if they want county paper instead of n political organ, they should subscribe for the ERA.

TIE Hon. Mark Smith is again lin the hands of his friends" After much persuasion he has finally con- scented to become a candidate for con- gress provided he receives the demo- cratic endorsement. Since returning two years ago he has built up large law practice, and is much wealth 10 the good, but still he realizes that he is the only democrat in Arizona who thinks he can save the territory from consolidation with New Mexico, therefore he thinks it duty to return to congress. Colonel Wilson is also a candidate for the same honor, but the democrats generally seem to have lost interest in the Colonel. Mark Smith is the strongest man the democrats have, but he has recently made some political enemies in his party who promise to make him trouble during the campaign. Editor Kean St. Charles. of the Mineral Wealth. who was a delegate to the Tucson conven-
 
 and smith as follows:
 "ColOnel Wilson and Mark Smith were on hand as spectators at the con- ventiou, but they had no influence one way or ther other, as it was a Hearst convention instructed by the people and not by professional poli- ticians and perpetual office seekers The delegates gave the above gentle anrlia1 Ur,atipr in ioI way, but it was plainly evident that the democratic party will look else where for their congressional timber in the coming campaign. Jack Law Ter, of Prescott, seems to have the pull for the nomination if he will take it.. No man will attempt to deny that Colonel Wilson repre- iented Arizona ably and well in congress and that Mark smith is "hale fellow well metn and can tell the funniest stories and eat longer at the banquet than any man, but in the former case, with all his ability, the Colonel is not popu- lar. and as far as the coming race IS concerned he is not in il, and he may just as well hang up his harp and watch the struggle of his successor. Wilson is a strong Hearst and Bryan man and stands by the people, and it
 
 smiths trick of shaking hands with both hands. Even in the face of the fact that the Tucson Citizen, Mark Smiths official organ, has repeatedly, felonously and with malice afore- thought attacked Hearst and all forms of Bryan democracy and advocated Parker, Cleveland and Wall Street and Mark, on his own account, is as silent as the mummy of King Solomon or Belmont's man, on men and meas ures. he is still in the race for delegate to congress. Surprising as it may seem, under the circumstances, he is politically alive and none but thor oughbred can beat him under the wire It would be a great victory for the Parker forces in Arizona to send Mark Smith to congress, as they would have powerful mediator for fat appointments in Mark, as he has the rep. of standing by his friends a very admirable quality in a poll. tician."

DENVER, June 6.-Adjutant General Bell has been informed by telephone from Victor that an attack was made late this afternoon on the Miners Union Ball by a squad of soldiers. Major NaylOr sent squads to aid in quelling disturbance on Fourth street. When uniformed men swung into that street they were fired al from houses on both sides of the street. They returned the fire, and raced on double quick until near Miners Union Hall. At that point the mob had scattered and as the soldiers halted several shots were fired at them from the windows of the hall. The doors had been left open and a dozen guards men fired into the hall as fast as they could work their rifles. After a few vOlleys the order to assault the place was given and they plunged in. It was reported to Bell that number of men were killed but none of the guardsmen injured.
