 Gargonia Figuera, who is said to have been working as a laborer at the Copper Queen, was shot and seriously wounded last week by Con- stable Shropshire, while resisting ar rest. The bullet entered the mouth. The Mexican was taken to the Calu- met & Arizona hospital, where it is said that while the wound is consid- cred very serious, the man has an even chance for recovery. The af- fair happened at the intersection of Second street and E avenue. The Mexican was drunk and creating such a disturbance by his yells and curses that the constable was asked by telephone to arrest him. Upon arriving at the scene of the Mexi- cans operations the officer was met with curses, and when he laid hands on the drunk a fight ensued. Con- stable Shropshire had been ill for some time, and was weak. The Mexican is big man and was get ting much the better of the discus sion, when the officer drew his gun and clubbed his adversary on the head, inflicting five scalp wounds, any one of which would have knocked out man of ordinary physique and stamina.

 Manager Davis, of the Club saloon, l former resident of Clifton, )ne of the most popular mixolog:sts l n the city, narrowly escaped death | ,n the railroad yard track to the | mines above the old shelter. MT. | Davis was walking along the track | when d train approached him from | behind. He failed to notice it's | coming or to hear whistles it sounded | dong the way. When the train was llmost upon him he heard the warn- ng shout of a man on the car near .st him, and looking back observed | lis danger. The proximity of the rain allowed of no time for ponder ng the best manner of escape, a |
  his life. Those who wit essed his fall expected that on -eaching him they would find either l badly injured or a dead man. Davis was up on his feet, however, when assistance came to him. He | lad a bad cut on the back of his | lead, the skull being laid bare for ,ver an inch, but otherwise was un- lurt. It is now considered that here is little likelihood of the in | ury developing into anything se- ious. MT. Davis attaches blame to | he railroad company for the acci- lent, stating that warning of ap- 'roach of the train was lacking. The railroad men say that the en- -ine blew its whistle several times ust before Davis was reached, but hat he apparently had no ear for warming signals.-Review.
