PLACES TO CELEBRATE
The Glorious Fourth of July This
Year.

While Prescott will have TO formal
celebration of the Fourth of July this
year, there will be a number of places
where her citizens can find an oppor-
tunity to pull few feathers out of
the tail of the great American eagle
and aid in making him scream to the
limit of his capacity.
Notwithstanding the misfortune that
befell Granite Dells III having that
beautiful little spot visited by the
fire fiend and the buildings laid low,
a force of men have been busy ever
since in rebuilding the place and get
ting it in readiness for the fourth,
and it is not at all improbable that it
will be in first class condition to
entertain visitors on that great holt
da, and many people who might have
gone elsewhere had not the misfortune
come upon Mr.. and Mrs Shumate,
will change their plans and spend the
day there to show their sympathy and
to help, so far as they can, in recover
ing from their severe loss. The
grounds and the lake will be in fine
shape and the amusements that have
been planned for some time will take

A force of twelve men are at work
in the Paymaster mine of the Alto
Gold Mining company on the north
side of Eugene Gulch. The shaft is
now down TO a depth of between 2CO
anud 300 feet and is being pushed
rapidly to the 300 foot level, where
drifting will probably commence
sometime next month. The north and
south drifts on the 200 foot level al
each about sixty feet and are being
extendd to get in under the rich ore
encountered in the upper level. Ore
is encountered all the way in both
shafts and drifts. In spite of the fact
that this is the driest season known
for years the mine, makes enough
water to amply suffice for all needs.
A big 5000 gallon galvanized tank
recently erected by the SamI. Hill
company is kept we'll filled all the
time. Visitors to the mine who know
whereof they speak think that there
is every reason to believe that the
Paymaster is going to be one of the
best mines in the district. The work
has been done rapidly but thoroughly
and along the most practical lines.

COLD FLOODED
ASSASSINATION
Awful Tragedy Com
mitted at Iron King.
Iron King Miner Shot From His
Horse While Riding Along
the Road.

JEFF MulliDo, a native of Texas, and
a member of the Iron King Miners
Union, was assassinated last Friday
at Iron King by Fred Hicklin, also a
miner. Mullino was riding along the
road with two companions, and when
they were approaching the house in
which Hicklin lived the latter emery
ed from the house carrying a Win
chester rife. He walked a short dis
lance ia front of the men, when he
stopped, aimed his rifle at Mullino
and fired, the bullet penetrating his
heart Mullino reeled in his saddle
and fell off his horse in the road,
dead. His companions started to his
assistance when Hicklin's sister ap-
peared with a shot gun saying that
her brother had killed that man, and
she would shoot any one who attempt
ed to touch the body.
The tragedy happened at ) 30 O'Clock
and the body lay where it fell until
the arrival of the sheriff, about
O'Clock. After committing the bloody
deed Hicklin returned to the house
where he remained until the arrival
of the sheriff while his father armed
with a gun, stood sentinel on the out
side to prevent any attempt at lynch,
ing, feeling in the camp being very
bitter against the assassin.
On the arrival of the sheriff after
hearing all particulars of the case,
that officer took in custody, not only
the man who fired the fatal shot, but

Guiding the proposed electric trolley

a possibility of its cost falling below

the cost of reservoir and the laying OF

Your committee would therefore
recommend that the citizens of Pres

enterprise, should give the subject

his sister also, and lodged them both

his sister also, and lodged them both
in Jail.
On Monday their preliminary ex-
animation was commenced and the
father was also taken into custody,
charged with being accessory to the
killing.
On motion of District Attorney
Clark, Judge Sloan ordered a special
grand jury to investigate the case and
it convened on Tuesday.
Various rumors have been in circu-
latlon In regard to the cause of the
killing. MuIlino had been paying at
tention to Hick1in's sister and the
two men bad been on the best of
terms, being drinking together only
two days previously. Miss Hicklin is
said to have made threatening re-
marks about Mullino the day Of the
killing or the day before.
The father of Hicklin was at work
in a mine when the tragedy occurred
and was told of it on his way home.
BE went with others to where the
body lay and ON looking at it remark
ed: "Young man, you got just what
you deserved. - Turning to the-crowd
he said: "This young man tried to
seduce my daughter. If my son had
not killed him | would.
One thing is quite evident that
MullIno had no warning of his i'm
pending fate and had no idea that
Hicklin had any designs on his life.
When HicklIn raised his gun all three
of the men, supposing that he was
just in fun, threw up their hands,
also in fun.
During the preliminary examina-
tion, it was brought out that the girl,
about half hour before the shooting
had told her brother that Mnllino bad
made improper proposals to her.
Justice Talbot held all three with
out bonds to appear before the grand
jury and the grand jury convened i'm
mediately at the close of the prelimi
nary examination.
The grand jury last evening return
ed indictments against all three of
the Hicklins and they were i'm
mediately arraigned and will plead
on Thursay morning at 9 o'clock.
