Parlor saloon at Winslow on Saturday
 night in which George J. Giles, night
 marshal, was killed almost instantly.
 Pete Pemberton, a gambler, and Wal
 ter Darling, who was running the rou- lette table, quarrelled over a bet and Pemberton threatened to kill him, at the same time drawing his pistol. Giles then stepped up to the table and said to Pemberton: Don't do that Pete, we are all friends. Pemberton then said: i: "I will kill four or five of you fellows, !" and then shot Giles through the body. Giles got his gun after he had been shot a couple of times, but as he was fat ally wounded his aim was bad. Pem- berton then shot at Darling, but missed him and backed out of the door.

 THE FEDERAL SHELTER
 IS AN INDEPENDENT

The Federal shelter, which after two years of idleness has been recently repaired and put in condition, is to be operated by firm of New York capi- talists who own mining property in Mexico not far from Fl Paso. Louis Strauss, head of the company, is in the city experimenting the final details of arrangements for the early resumption of operations at the shelter. The company is known as the Southern Smelling & Refining company. This is the only shelter that the company owns and Mr. Strauss says that he and his colleagues in the undertaking have not come to Fl Paso with the intention of bucking other smelters. They sim ply saw chance to get charge of a shelter to smelt their own ores, and they did so, taking it from the former owners on lease with the privelege of purchasing it if they wish. -El Paso Herald.

MIR. LESSEN DECLINES
 THE PR0FFERE0 HONOR
Present Position and Future Prospects Too Bright to Abandon n-Appre-
 ciates Honor

Paul, lessen, recently appointed by the President to the supreme bench of Arizona territory after careful consid- eration and consultation with personal and political friends. has decided to de- cline the proffered judgeship. His de- cision was forwarded today to Senator Burkett through whom the offer was tendered. When the appointment of Judge lessen was announced about three weeks ago, he was away on his honeymoon on the Pacific coast and re- fused to allow either the congratula- tiOns which were showered upon him or the telegraphic inquiries from his friends as to his intentions, to inter fere with his happiness and secluslon. Since his return to Nebraska, however, he has taken the opportunity to consult with many of his friends and has re- ceived repeated advice that his politi- cal ambitions may find greater scope in Nebraska.
 Judge lessen is now on the district court bench of his home county with an excellent prospect of succeeding him. self if he so desires. While the salary of the Arizona Judgeship is somewhat larger than that which he is receiving home life counts for something and 1t is said that the influence of Mrs. Jes- sen has been exerted in favor of the cozy home in Nebraska City on which she had set her mind. But Judge Jes- sens political ambition does not stop at the district judgeship, which he now holds. A year ago his name was ire quently mentioned in connection with the governorship of Nebraska and his friends intimate that the tender of a federal appointment outside the state IS a move on the part of political op- ponents to sidetrack him from the nom nation for governor next fall.

ZIEGLER PARTY
RESCUED AT LAST
Brought to Norway by Crew from
That Country After Being
Imprisoned in Ice Two Years.

HonningSvaag, Norway-The Arctic
steamer Terra Nova. which went to
the relief Of the Fala-Ziegler polar
expedition, has rescued Anthony
Fialla and all others connected with
the expedition, with the execution of
a Norwegian seaman vino died of
natural causes. The ship America,
which took out the expedition, was
crushed in the ice early in the winter
of 1904 and lost with large part of
the coal and provisions.
Their rescue was due to the splendid
efforts Of William S. Champ, secretary
OF the late William Ziegler, command
ing the relief expedition, who, owing
to the terrible weather, failed to
reach them last year, and to the
untiring zeal of Captain Kjeldsen and
his Norwegian officers and crew, who
for six weeks persistently forced their
way through solid foes of ice and
finally reached them.
The expedition reached 80 degrees
and .13: minutes. The scientific
work, as planned, was successfully
carried out. Thirty-seven members
of the expedition were returned in
safety and are in good health, despite

WRECK AT AMHERST
Freight on Wisconsin Central
Wrecked in Sight of Excur.
SiOniSts.

S4Ou4S9os
The passengers on the loaded Green
Bay & Western excursion railroad
train were treated to the sight Of a
wreck in the deep cut at Amherst
Junction Sunday night. A freight
was going south and had attained a
fair speed after passing the station at
Amherst Junction, and when little
way from the station, a truck on one
of the cars became caught in a log
chain and was pulled from the track.
Flour. logs, and groceries were piled
up in the deep cut, half filling it.
The wreck happened just a little
time before the Green Bay & Western
excursion was due, and when that
train arrived great fires had been
lighted along the sides of the cut to
make it possible for the workmen to
clear up the debris. The fires gave
many the impression that the wreck
was on fire, but this was not the case.
The broken timbers and other wreck
age was cleared Up by morning so that
traffic could be resumed again. Until
the track was clear, the trains went
over the Chicago & Northwestern
tracks to get around The scene Of the
wreck.
Though several box cars were badly
demolished and their contents
scattered in promisccus style, none of
the train crew were injured, as none
happened to be near the center of the
train where the car left the track. A
co-incidence'Of the wreck was that the
engine was number 1913 and the day
was the thirteenth of the month.
Doubtless this will be construed by
some to be the exact cause of the
smash up.

BOARD OF CONTROL

Wisconsin, a woman has been named
on the State Board of Control. This
fact is due to the new law passed last
winter, which makes it incumbent on
the governor to appoint woman as a
member. The one who has this
honor of being the first woman to
hold Office on the Board in this state
is DR.. Alma Frisby of Milwaukee.
She takes the place of Harvey Clarke
of Monroe, who did not wish TO be
considered a candidate for the position
again.
All the other members were re-
named for the coming year by
Lieutenant Gov. Davidson last week,
and the new Board of Control will
consist of: Gustave Kuestermann,
Herman GrotophorSt, Lester B.
Dresser, DR.. Alma Frisby and Allen
Conover. These are the ones who will
have charge of the state institutions
for the care of dependant and criminal
persons for the next year.
