TWO VICIOUS CHARACTERS
Assaulted and Seri Ously Injured fl.
 Jacobs Yesterday nOrning.

M. Jacobs was brutally assaulted at the door of his store on Washington | street early yesterday morning, by a drunken man named c. F. Clayton, who was accompanied by another man named George Denton, equally under the influence of liquor and who is charged with having been an accom- plice in the assault. The men were ar rested by the police and in a few hours thereafter had broken jail, but were recaptured by Officer Bloomhorst and returned to the jail again before noon. At the police court session in the af- ternoon Clayton was fined twenty dol lars for drunkenness and disorderly conduct and Denton sent to jail on the same charge for eighteen days. Today they win be arraigned before Justice of the Peace Burnett, to answer the charge of assault.
 MT. Jacobs was very seriously, though not dangerously hurt. His left eye received terrific blow which rup- tured numerous blood vessels, the in- fiammation shortly closing the eye. There was some fear at first that the sight of the eye might be lost or ser iously affected but that is now con sidered very remote possibility. His right shoulder was also badly wrench ed and is very lame and painful being considerabely swollen. Altogether his injuries confine him to his home and being a man past middle life the sore ness does not leave him as readily as though he were a younger man. .
 The assault was entirely unprovOk ed or doubtless would not have occurred had his assailants been duly sober and capable of readily under standing a situation. MT. Jacobs ap- peared at his usual time for opening the store and these men were standing in the doorway. He asked them to step aside so he could open the door. It is quite likely they did not appreciate
Arizona republican., 1905-02-25

who he was or what he wanted them
 to do, owing to their intoxicated condi- tion, but however that may have been instead of complying they interfered rather more than before and it is said Denton pushed Clayton against MT.
 Jacobs twice in succession. MT. Ja- cObs then brought his cane into action 1 in a way that made the rOwdies think it necessary to fight, or at least desir-
 able on their part. Clayton then rain
 ed number of vicious blows upon his
 victim before he was interfered with.
 The men were taken to the city jail
 and MT. Jacobs was taken home and
 given medical attention.
 Clayton and Denton were locked in
 the woman's cell on the west side of
 the corridor or jail office and when the
 officer left them large wire hoop on
 which were the cell keys and duplI-
 cate corridor key, was hung over a gas chandelier in the corridor several
 feet away from the cell door. That the men are ingenious must be admit
 ted. They tore to pieces the cot in the cell and taking one of the long side pieces to the cot, pushed it through the grating and secured the wire hoop with the keys on it. The rest was easy. They let themselves OuI OL lHe Jdll CeDs lHeil Oul OL lLS corridor and taking the keys with them started toward the southeast part of town. They dropped the keys in the street in front of the Golden Eagle stable on Second street, where they were pickd up by c. M Sturgis who saw the men running away. Officer Bloomhorst came by a few minutes later and MT. Sturgis gave him the keys and told him what he had seen. He mounted his bicycle at once and got in sight of the fleeing men. At the corner of Jackson and Seventh streets they turned into an alley in the rear of the Cottage saloon. The officer follow ed and they retreated into a restau- rant in the rear of the Cottage. That is one of them did for the officer had already commanded them to halt and had got close enough to grab hold of one man while the other locked the door from the inside. The man he captured showed fight but MT. Bloom horst exhibited his revolver in con- vincing way and there was no further trouble. He turned the prisoner over to a bystander and proceeded into the restaurant but the other man had de- parted by a rear door. He ran round an adjoining building and as the of heer emerged he saw him pass through the gate. He was halted and tried to argue the matter but no arguments were accepted and the two were march ed back to the city jail.

 Among the causes of death heart disease heads the list with 510 deaths. Consumption, pneumonia, Bright's dis ease, apopleXy, casualties, cancer and typhoid fever follow in the order named.
 It is due probably to the severe cold winter last year that pneumonia cost AT lives, showing the greatest in- crease, 123, in any one disease. On the other hand, diseases of the nervous sy stem show a diminution in numbers.
 Of the 312 fatal casualties-five lost their lives in automobile accidents, six in the burning of the Iroquois theater, Chicago, forty-two in railroad acci- GolIts, twice as many as in 1903, thir- teen in shipwrecks or by drowning at sea or on the lakes, eighty seven by being hurt by vehicles or horses in the streets, sixteen by firearms and thirty four by homicide.
 The deatks from old age during 1904 were 112.
 There were 254 deaths among per sons over eighty years of age, fl of them being over ninety. Two of these became policy-holders in the year of the organization of the company, 1S43. They were Charles H. Booth, who lived to the age of one hundred years and eight months. and Charles G. Rock wood, who lived to the age of ninety years. There is still one survivor left among those who formed the "Old Guard" of the company.
 The number of deaths among women was 371, an increase of 50 over the preceding year.

 Five thousand three hundred and seventy mine persons insured in The Mutual Life died during 1904, an in crease of 434 over the year previous. There are more than 66O,00O of the company's policies in force.
