A Md night Duel.

United States Commissioner K. D. George was one of the principals in midnight duel that occurred last Monday night. He proved that even when under fire he has a steady hand and good eve.
 About the hour when gravevards yawn M~. George was aroused from his slumbers by alarming sounds from the Plymouth Rock depart ment Of the ranch and quickly ran to investigate In the bedchamber of Mrs. Plymouth Mir. George en- countered the enemy and retreated just long enough to load his trusty musket. The enemy, being al- ready loaded, dined heartily on one of the Plymouth children while Mr. George prepared for battle
 With loaded musket the conn missioner stepped once more to the door of the Plymouth residence and the duel began. Both duelists fired at about the same time and both proved to have aimed well. Mir. George was strongly wounded and the chicken thief was in- stantly killed.

One day he was accosted by the chief of police who called his attention to the fact that he had made no arrest since his appointment. The chief accom- panied his remark with a hint that unless there should be something doing in the near future 1t might be expedient to decrease the force. That evening Pat walked far enough from his regular beat to watch the passengers alighting from an incoming train and walk ing up to one of the strangers he placed him under arrest. The man stuttered so he was unable to ask questions or make explanations and was hustled of to the police station by his proud captor. Next morning the prisoner was ar raigned in court and the judge asked: "What is your name?" "T--t-tsh-tsh--tsh-tsh--.n Im- patiently the judge turned to the policeman who had made the ar rest.

q Card From Colonel Jewell. Editor If THE OAsIs.
 Nogales, Arizona.

Dear cir.--
 l am in receipt of a copy of your paper of July 10th in which notice an article signed by "Vin. dex," discussing an article which appeared in the Los Angeles Ex- aminer regarding the disappear ance of my brother, Luther H. Jewell from Llano, Sonora, Mexico.
 The day before publishing the article in the Examiner" that paper called me on the telephone and read the article to me, asking me what l had to say in the mat ter l stated to them, ''that their story of my brother's business dealings in Magdalena was, in substance, the same as 1 had heard it when there; but I regretted it had come to light, because I con- sidered its publication at this time would be inopportune, but whether these officials have investigated, or had taken any part in my brothers disappearance or death, l had no evidence to prove other than cir cumstantial, and have not and do not make any accusations against them"
 Referring to the article of "Vin- dex" in your paper, l notice there in the following: 1t has been re- ported that upon a former occasion his (meaning my brother) friends knew nothing of his whereabouts during period of two years, all of which time he was in Alaska with out communicating with them. Maybe this is another case of the same kind and he may again re- turn.p Regarding this statement l wish to brand 1t as absolutely false My brother has been pros pecting and mining for the past fifteen years, much If the time in Alaska, but has always been in communication with me. I have ordinarily heard from him at least once or twice per month. with the exception of two Or three times during the winter periods when there were no mails out of Dawson.
 As to the officials of Sonora l wish to say that the Prefect of Magdalena and Judges of the First Instance of Magdalena and Santa Ana were very kind to me and lent what assistance they were able to, with the exception that l pleaded with the court to hold Jesus Gar- cia, who caused the arrest of three innocent men and swore the crime of killing my brother upon them, as l considered he had committed a crime by 50 doing and should be held; but 1t is my understanding that he was released.
 So far as Col. Fenochio is con- cerned 1 have to say that, although he used me courteously, l failed to see where he lent the least assist ance in endeavoring to locate my brother. Col Kosterlitzky also used me very kindly, stating to me several times that he had men out looking for my brother, but whether in reality they were doing so I never knew, for, if so, they failed to find any evidence that assisted me in the search.
 You will oblige me by giving space for this letter in your paper, as it is my desire that no mis- understandings shall occur in this case as far as l am concerned.
 Very truly yours,

His Mind Gave Way.

That night waves subsidized and lit
tie rain fell, which was eagerly caught
and brought slight relief. It was only
temporary, and, not long after, Mate
Ghase's mind gave way entlre1 y, ana
he threw himself into the sea.
The next victim of the terrific strain
was Captain Maxwell, who, on Mon
day, became violently insane and fol-
lowed his mates example of self-de-
struction as a relief to his sufferings.
The spectacle of two men voluntarily
throwing themselves into the sea proved
too much for the German engineer, and
a few hours after Captain Maxwell Is
death, the raft was lightened for the
fourth time, when the crazed engineer
jumped into the waves. -,
The last victim was the negro stew
ard, who died on the raft late Monday
night, and whose body was dropped
overheard by the two remaining sea
men. ..s.-.-
Relief came twelve hours later, whe1
the schooner Stillman F. Kelly, bound
up the coast from Ceylon, Ca, to thi!
port, sighted the little raft and hove
to alongside.

whereby they can prey upon the rest Of
the people, that is a graft that may
not be against the law and may even
be protected by the law. The rem.
edy for corruption, for bribery, for
grating of every kind, is to enforce the
law.
elf the system is working an illegal
game instead Of trying to beat the
game, the better way is to stop the
game
