tween man and donkey. but since our
friend. A Unitarian. has called my at
tentlon to it there seems TO be some
resemblance to the donkey in some
people However. have no personal
quarrel with a Unitarian, but fail to
see any argument in irony No doubt
Mr.. r. f. G. is surprised that amy one
should dare 20 ques ion the soundness
of the modern ukase It does not take
a mirror to rehec. the image of so
great a man as A Unitarian
No doubt, the gentleman can pen

gent but can he aside from Gods
word give us Thy light at all on any
thing pertaining to creation only as the
patriots Darwin and a few other such
dreamers, whose dreams look well on
paperand please those like A Unitar-
ian; who wish to claim kinship with a

Unitarianism, to my mind, is but a
milder form of Agnosticism, and an un-
holy alliance with pure skepicism
and infdelity. NJ. George says his
people quit praying and commenced
digging Il doubt not but that they are
good diggers and poor prayers) Yet
the Unitaritn opens his services and
Sunday school with prayer, which is
proof Of their belief in God and the
Bible. Why do they believe in one
part of the Bible and not in ano.her
part? We find tha. all creation are
here. Life is as wonderful in the
beast as in the man, tnd though scient-
ists have pondered, searched and ex-
perimentcl through life TO discover
how to create the life germ, for hun
dreds of years all have failed.
But God said Let there be light,
and there was light" There is no bet
ter solution than thai given by the IN
splred scribe when he said God
breathed Into his nostrils the breath
of life and man became a living soul.

LOCKED IN HIS VAULT.
A County Treasurer Is Found Sixteen
Hours After He Was Robbed.

Prescott, Ariz., Nov. 10.-JameS P.
Storm, county treasurer of this county,
has been found locked in the steel
with $4,000 missing from the cash
funds of the treasury. Mr.. Storm had
been in the vault Is hours when found
by his daughter. He says that while
seated in his Office two men entered the
door with handkerehiefs tied over their
faces, and, presenting a revolver to his
head, ordered him to throw up his
hands. Storm complied and the two
men closed the door of the Office, pro-
duced a string of baling wire with
which they securely bound his feet and
hands. They forced a handkerchief in
to his mouth and pushed him inside the
vault.
After gathering up $4,000 and leisure
ly ransacking the Office for more money
the men closed the door of the vault,
locked it and departed. Storm was IN
able to give any accurate description of
the men.

Coroner's Jury Charges j. A. Sample
With Responsibility for Girls Death.

The coroner's jury in the inquest
held at DeMoss & PenweIl's under
taking establishment last evening re-
turned a verdict to the effect that Ella
Sissel came to her deatIl-as the re-
suit of an operation performed by DIR.
j. A. Sample. The inquest was at
tended by Assistant County Attorney
w. l. Jamison, and Dr.. Sample was
represented by Attorney Frank Lynch.
No arrest has been made in connec-
ton with the case, and as the only evil
dence given was by the mother of the
girl. Mrs. E. +. Sissel, who testified
that her daughter had told her before
she died that DIR. Sample had per-
formed an operation, the case may be
dropped. The county attorney will
examine the evidence furnished be-
fore the coroner's jury and decide
whether there is sufficient grounds,
for the arrest of DIR. Sample.
