 k|NGMAN
(Mohave County Miner.l

Last Friday evening Frank Harper
 shot and instantly killed Lying Jim,
 an Indian policeman, in the Mohave
 valley, some miles below old Fort MOhave. The causes leading up to the tragedy are stated to be as follows: Harper and his sqUaw had been having trouble, and Pete Lambert, chief of the
 Mohave tribe, had induced the squaw
 to leave her husband, and take up her
 residence in his wickeup. Harper made
 complaint to the policeman and asked
 that Lambert be arrested for alienat-
 ing the wife s affections This the pO-
 hceman refused to do, and Harper was
 much ineensed. He made complaint
 to Superintendent McArthur. of the
 Indian school, and Lambert was called
 in and the two men finally agreed on
 settlement, Harper signing a bill of sale of the squaw. The diseonsolate
 husband then armed himself with a rife and went out on a still hunt after Lying Jim, and found him down in the valley gathering wood. Without a word of warning he fired, shooting him through the eye, the man dying with out struggle. Again shooting the man through the body Harper passed up the valley to within a short dis tanee of the Indian school He sent a note to his sister asking her to meet him, but having heard of the killing the woman refused to meet him. The next morning Harper came into the school and gaev himself up. He was placed in the guard house. where dur ing the following night he committed suicide The deed was done with an old rusty, broken knife, the blade being less than two inches in length and SC duIl that it appeared to have been 2 physical impOssibility to have done the work with it. The man s head was almost severed from his body, and he must have suffered torture while committing the act The body of liar per was turned over to the Indians and Sunday it was placed on a funeral pyre and burned to ashes. Frank Harper was a half breed Mohave. his father being Jesse Harper, a white man who had settled in the valley in the early sixties

Don't Become a Bore.

It is an easier matter than
most women realize to become a
thorough-going bore. We have
all met such a woman. She will
reclte for hours at stretch the
troubles-real and imaginary
which she experiences with her
husband, children and servants.
She will expound upon her own
ailments and worry you with a
long story of her pains and aches.
The grievances which such a
woman has to tell you are mex
haustable. No matter how eal-
nestly she may work for the good
of others, she is always sure that
no one appreciates her efforts.
The truth of the matter is that
she really does nothing at all
without largely advertising the
fact, and nobody can appreciate
The pleasant woman
will not worry her husband about
what she "loves" and he dislikes,
or with music for which she has
no ear.
She will not nag because their
baby carriage is not quite SO nice
as the one their neighbor has.
She will not constantly fret
over the fact that her friend is
better dressed than she is.

At the Kansas City depot

on a rough box that contained a

posed that they open the coffin
and rescue the dead man, and as
they all heard a faint groan with

lid; but as they were in the midst
