of the night in the Fashion saloon at Benson, Harry Fisher, the proprietor, and F. McCullom, the bartender, en- gagged in duel with pistols, which resulted in the death of the latter and the wounding of the former
 At the time that the quarrel took place the saloon was crowded with men, and they state that the two men had been iuterchanging harsh words for the greater part of the evening. About II ;30 the argument became heat ed, and some of the onlookers expected trouble, but a minute later everything was quiet again.
 About midnight the two men started talking again, and before anyone could realize what was going on each of the parties to the dispute had whipped out a gun and started shooting McCulIom used an old style Colt s revolver, and fired three shots, one of which took effect in his adversary s hip Fisher was armed with new patent Colt s automatic and fired six shots, all of which entered the body of his assailant
 The shooting lasted but minute, and as soon as it was over the crowd scattered to get physician and an officer. Lieutenant Harry Wheeler of the rangers was about a hundred yards from the saloon at the time of the shooting, but hearing the shots started in that direction on the run and arrived as the onlookers dispersed. He placed Fisher under arrest and the latter turned his gun over without any show of resistance A physician arrived on the scene and pronounced McCullom dead. A coroner s jury was impaneled and held an inquest, resulting in yer diet that the deceased came to his death from a gunshot wound inflicted by one Harry Fisher.
 Fisher will be given preliminary hearing today and it is the consensus of opinion that he will be restored to liberty on the ground that he had to shoot to protect his life.
 McCullom formerly lived in Bisbee, and was known as "Jack the Ripper. He bore the reputation of being bad man.

TRY TO BREAK
LIABILITY ACT
Railroads Believe It Renders
Them Liable to too
Many Claims

Information has reached the inter-
state commerce commission Of con-
Pcerted effort on the part Of the great
railroad Corporations OF the country to-
eyade the provisions OF the employers
liability act, which was passed by con-
gress IN protection Of the railroad en-
ployes Of the country. No stone is toi
be left unturned to render the lazy in
effective and every technicality Of the
law is to be used to enable the rail-
roads to escape the consequences of
their negligence In the eyes OF the
statute.
Recently a secret meeting OF about
fifty Of the most prominent railroad
lawyers ip the United States was held
at LopisYille, KY to consider. the
methods which best might be, adopted
by the railroads to offset the provisions.
Of the employers liability act. The
enforcement OF the law has borne
heavily on the railroads. They have
been forced to pay damages for loss OF
life Or limb efs their employees in sacci-.
dents ecsuEged through the negltgspcel
OF the corporations. In years past
they have been able to escape the pay
ment Of damages in most instances,
but the provisions Of the present law
are so stringent that theynhaEPsInot
been able successfully to eVadeoHthe
consequences of unsafe railroading. of
which they were cognizant.
ironelad Provisions.
The law is ironclad in its provisions
in favor Of the employe. who is the
victim OF an accident. It provides
that the victim or his next of kin may
recover damages for an accident by rea
son OF the negligence Of the railroad
company I'm it's cars, engine, appli-
ances, machinery. track, roadbed, ways
or works." II further provides that
the fact that the employe may have
been guilty Of oontributory negligence
shall not bar a recovery where his con-
tributory negligence was slight and
that OF the employer was gross in COM
parison." and that "all questions OF
negligence and contributory negligence
shall be for the jury"
The railroads regard the act as un-
just and unreasonable to them and a
determination has been reached to con-
test every case that may be brought
under It. The meeting Of the railroad
counsel in Louisville was held to de-
wise ways and means for fghting the
law.
