Murdered Three, Then Suicided.

Tucson, Ariz., January 2S-One of the
worst tragedies in the history of South
ern Arizona, in which four men lost their
lives, occurred in the border town of
Nogales.
Will Walters, gambler, entered the
Palace saloon owned by M. M. Conn,
walked to the poker table and, without
word of warning, drew a revolver and
opened fire on the dealer, named "Cow-
boy" John son, firing two shots through
his head.
Walters then turned on Conn, the pro-
prietor, who was making his way toward
the door, shooting him through the head
and heart. The murderer then turned
his weapon toward the Monte dealer,
shooting him through the back of the
head.
He fired q shot at George Bendle, a
cattle man, that graZed the latter's face,
and then turned the revolver on himself
and sent a bullet through his own brain.
All of the victims died before being able
to make statements.

Barred a Negro Juror.

Kansas City, Mo-, January 27.-Wil-
liam A. Rollins, a negro, who was sum-
moned to serve as a juror in the Circuit
Court, was discharged this morning and
paid days fees without having sat in
a case. Other members of the panel
wouldn't sit on the jury with him.
When the jurors took their places in
the box this morning the attorneys in a
suit that was up asked the usual formal
question whether any juror knew any
reason why he could not render fair and
impartial verdict in the case, Rolla II.
Jarman, printer, said he didn't believe
he could serve on the same jury with a
nodded their heads in assent. The attor-
neys then asked the Court to excuse
Rollins, and this was done. Rollins took
his hat and left the Court room.

mArTERs m THE STATE SENATE.
Mr.. Earle Recovering Legislative War on tho
Fertilizer Trust--Busy Time Begins.

- .
Columbia, January 30.--Editors Cou-
rier: The real interesting stage of legis-
latiop to the public at large is just being
reached; that is, of finally enacting laws.
There are many stages through which
an idea of the Legislation must pass be-
fore it becomes a law. Upto the present
time there has been but one act ratified
by the General Assembly which also was
approved by the Governor; this one was
rushed through with all convenient speed
in order to correct defect in regard to
drawing and summoning jurors aud
really affects only Clarendon county.
The hundreds of other bills, but few of
which are likely to become laws, are yet
passing through the different stages. 1t
is likely from this time on there will be
a'number finally acted upon each day.
Both branches of the General Assem-
bly, have passed the proposed trespass
law which provides that any person
entering upon the premises of another
without the consent of the owner for any
ono of the following purposes, to wit:
fishing, hunting, cutting timber, gather
ing herbs, fruit, leaves, straw, sedge or
moss, shall be fined not less than five
nor more than ten dollars. This, it is
true, is a very drastic law, but will re-
lieve the farmers of advertising in order
to keep people off their premises. The
old law enforced in this State for Esariy
this, but few years ago by some means
the law was passed requiring notice to
be published.
The delegation from Oconee have de-
cided to reduce the tax levy from that of
last year about one-half of one mill.
This will give about the amount of funds
to be used for county purposes as was
had last year.
The special committee, which was
appointed to report by bill or otherwise
upon the establishment by the State of
fertilizer factory for the manufacture of
fertilizers to meet the demands of the
farmers of the State, has made it's report
and recommends the passage of the bill.
The committee find that the manufacture
of a fertilizer, delivered at interior points,
which now costs about SIG, will only
cost SS.02. This is counting labor at 81
day. This exorbitant price has been
put upon fertilizers within the last few
years by the trust. There was used last
year about 100000 tors of fertilizer in the
State You can readily see by that what
au immense sum has been paid as a trib-
ute to the trust. The members of the
Legislature would be glad to have the
endorsement of the farmers of the vari-
GUS counties to this plan of tiahting this
formidable enemy of the public.
| have been sick for several days, but
think [ am improving.
Respectfully, j. r. Earle.

A Peculiar Way.

one Of their barber shops was in
spected and this was truly amusing.
The Chinese use no soap or lather,
shave OIL the eyebrows, great por-
tion Of the hair and in wonder
fully dextrous way shave the inside
Of the eye lids, One feature of
this shaving business of interest to
many customers, no doubt, is that
with each shave goes drink of liquor,
"samshu" by name.
A matter OF interest related at this
time was that the Chinese women
who wear their hair down and over
their ears are unmarried, while themar
ried ones may be told by the fact that
their hair is always done up at the
back. None of them ever wear hats.

The Opium FiendS.

A room down the hall contained
Cinnamon smoking opium and waiting
for sight seers. in one place two lay
on board beds with blocks for pillows.
One of them, ii was said was 80
years old and weighs but So pounds.
lie never moved, just laid there and
smoked. The opium is kept in very
small boxes and resembles axle grease
in appearance. The smoker dips a
long needle into this and then holds it
over a lamp to cook it. The opium
must be cooked properly for green
pill always Kills. He rolls this as it
heats and when it refuses to stick to
his pipe as he rolls it, it is tit
to smoke. "Ihe pipe" is as large
round as the butt of good sized fish
ing pole and is of bamboo. The pipe
is probably two feet long and the lower
end, or bowl, has hole in it no larger
than Il small wheat straw. Into this
the cooked pill is put and then the
Cinnamon lies down on his block
pillow, turns the pipe and pill over
the lamp and then as the pill sizlleS
he draws the smoke through the stem
into his head and out his nose. This
process is kept up until about 100 pills
are smoked and sleep comes. This
fellow showed large and heavy knives
with which they protect themselves
and then offered various things for
sale A used up pipe can be purchased
for from 81 90 to $llOO. These grow
exceedingly heavy with use.
According to this demonstrated, he
works in Il creamery during the day
and smokes opium after supper. This
opium costs $1,000 a pound and is Of
rather rank smell.

Great Tea House.

This is the biggest tea house in the
city, that is, IL does more business
than any other, The upper floor is
for visitors and retail customers and
filed with exceedingly fine chairs and
tables This opens out on splendid
park near the Hall Of Justice. Only
stools are used at the tables, the
chairs being against the walls. Gus
toners are served with delicious
liquids here.
In one corner stands a fire and burg
lar proof safe. Eight different men
keep their valuableS there, and on
that safe are eight different locks.
This safe can not be unlocked unless
the entire eight are present with their
keys. This is toprevent thievng.
In the front room upstairs is some
wonderfully fine carving, whole war
scene being carved on one piece of
timber. The wealthy Chinese are
always married in the tea houses, and
here very fine banquets are served.

Spinning Silk.

An interesting process observed at
another joint was that of securing
silk from cocoons, These little
punches of silk were placed in bowl
of steaming water, an end of a lUoSened
thread hardly heavier than spider
webs fibre being attached to II rather
complicated reel the Chinaman turned
slowly. The silk unwound readily
and finally left only the little worm
on the inside, These are saved and
eaten, The Cinnamon get $500 a
pound for this silk.
Ross alley was formerly the great
gambling hole Of Chinatown, but all
the houses there are closed with great
iron bars, There has been no public
gambling since November.
Frequently punches of Cinnamon
were seen reading from walls. These
walls contained bulletins and mes.

Cocaine Fiend.

The real interest for most tourists
centers i'm the dark underground
scenes, the smoking of opium and such
like. As this party entered an alley
way and finally the door of a building
where all was inky blackncss, a hungry
looking specimen came with a candle
and led the way to what is called "a
pukiic kitchen" This is simply a
large fire place where all the people in
that particular building cook their
meals.
Standing near this stove was white
man of probably 80 years of age. He
was a wild looking fellow and the
guide described him as cocaine tiend.
The man came forward, said he had
used cocaine for Is years, and that he
would then take a hypodermic if the
crowd wanted to see it done. One OF
ladies said yes, the fellow barred his
arm and promptly stuck what APP
peared to be an ink dropper into his
muscles lie then rubbed the spot a
little, shook himself, said he felt good,
and passed the hat. The bunch con-
trioutcd Of course.
The writer ha1 the distinct impress
sion that the fellow was fake ar
ranged for by the guides who know
what tourists want to see.

is finished in marble, and wonderful
looking gods are half hidden by cur
taius. An incense burner, sold silver,
three feet in diameter, stands seven
feet high. This is very old and is
mass of fine carving. A balcony oil
flowers is Just outside, and the
"watchdogs" attract no little attcn-
ton. Great lanterns hang here to
ward of evil spirits. 1t is expected
that before the visitors leave this
place they will buy something as an
Offering, but not all do it. 1t was
learned here that the Chinese marry
in red and mourn in white.
The trip continues down dirty and
fou-smelling streets as the store keep
ers were shutting up shop. In the
business portion all windows and doors
are covered with heavy shutters.
Some dens of opium tiends further on
were as the others seen before. Three
hours of this kind of tramp in dark,
dirty miserable dens where breath
of fresh air and sunshine never reaches
is sufficient for the average person and
IL was with distinct relief that The
crowd found itself once more in front
of Sing Fats bazaar, the place of be-
ginning.
The trip is well worth the while.

Fish Alley,

or the Chinese market places, was
rather interesting, Here were the
butcher shops, fish aud game stands.
The picking OF chicks was u wonder
full sight. The workmen are experts
and move their hands so rapidly thar
one can hardly see them. They pick
the chickens clean Of the pin feathers
and small hair, One fellow said he
had been at work since ; a. m. ana
would work all night, He said he got
30 cents day. They were working
over time on account of a coming
festival. The street is foul smelling
one for the reason that the fish are
dried on the roofs of the low houses.

The SURGEONS Nlahtmare.

Two patients who called in com.

bemoaning a twinge of pain in his
right forefinger. The callers smiled.

IN the finger bothers man so used

Chinese Musician.

A visit to a cellar where chairs were
arranged for visitors, the crowd
listened TO some music. The elderly
musician played first on Chinese
piano, which resembles an autoharp.
1t contains 80 strings and was ma
nipulated as a xylophone, the artist
striking the strings with flexible BAN
boo sticks. He also PLAYED flute,
three string banjo, and a chinese
fiddle, This last contained two
strings, the bow being between the
strings, both sides of the string being
played, A Chinese mandolin looked
like big cheese. The musician
played some Chinese music, then such
familiar tunes as Marching Through
Georgia. "a Hot Time" etc.

Old Racehorse Still spry.

Sleepy Tom, thirty-eight years old,
and believed to be the oldest race
horse in America, is still full of the
fire of colt-hood and is capable of lin.
bering up his creaking joints for a
speedy furlong or two. Tom is the
property of Peter Beetles, of Puyallup,
and made his debut on the turf as
early as 1872. Tom is a PAGER and
Mr.. Beetles declares the old fellow
can work out a mile at a three-minute
clip without any apparent effort. An
effort will be made some time during
the present racing season to have
Sleepy Tom at the Meadows to show

male members of the aggregation to a
house Of IN reputc, probably the most
gigantic thing of the kind in the Unit

containing a woman there for hire.
These are not Chinese, but white wO-

parties out TO see Chinatown.

not a single note had been taken,
