suTrINsKl ATTEMPTS VIOLENCE UPON
 "rHE OASIS" MAN.
One of the Funniest and Most Ridicu . ous Occurrences That Ever Took
 Place in the Line City.


 reader, but Buttinski actually as saulted TIE OASIS editor? The assault" which occurred last Sa turday afternoon, was one of the most ridiculous performances ever seen on the streets of Nogales, and supplied to all witnesses (and the
 assaultedn) more fun than the traditional box of monkeys. 1t would require the genius and humor of Mark Twain, Artemus Ward, and Q K. Philander Does ticks, P. B., with John Phoenix as proof reader, to correctly andaptly describe the scene.
 The occurrence transpired Satur- day afternoon on Morley avenue, in front of the store of Wm. Rosen- berg. THE OASIS editor had stop ped to talk with Mir. John T Brick wood, and was engrossed in the conversation, when without any warning or even q 'hunch" he felt q sort Of spat against his Jaw, without realizing what 1t was, and Ut the same instant Mir. Brickwood passed the editor swiftly, appar- ently losing all interest in the con- versation. The editor turned to see what had become of Brickwood, and there stood Buttinski upon the other side of him, moving and jib- bering like an ape, prancing around like ballet dancer, shedding i'm proper language like trampsheds lice, from his eyes and nostrils emitting sulphurous flames. Ye gods and little fshes But he was a sight to contemplate.
 Let me get at himW was the burden of his cry. You are not go- ing stand between me and that fel- low, are you?n heeried to Mr. Brick wood, and he emitted some more bad language. The editor laughed in the face of the poor demented creature, and expressed his opinion of the kind of cattle who aspire to run newspapers, dictating public sentiment, and then refuse to accept the criticism and ridicule which q man is invariably expect ed to accept when he assumes the attitude of public educator through the columns of q public journal. Whereat the poor creat- ure shed some more vile and offen- sive language, even threatening to kill the sditor should the criticism and ridicule to which he has been subjected in these columns be re- peated. After expressing his own opinion of the poor demented creature the editor called to MT. Brickwood that he desired to finish the interrupted conversation, and walked away, Mir. Brickwood fol- lowing shortly.
 As described by Mir. Brickwood. who witnessed the swift and un- announced approach of Buttinski

MURDERED BY "rRusrY."
csnanea Officer Killed and Chief of
 Police Dangerously Wounded.


 Sunday night there arrived in Imuris. Sonora, wagon driven by Policeman Etanislao Pesquiera If Cananea, bearing the body of murdered fellow officer, the wound ed chief of police of Cananea, Ra- fael Lopez and five prisoners. The chief was wounded and the police man killed by "trusty" who left Cananea with the officers Saturday morning, to assist them in escort ing to Imuris the five prisoners.
 The shooting was done Sunday morning about nine o'clock, while the party were riding along, who'll ly unsuspicious of the murderous intentions of the man who attack cd them. The officers and the "trusty," whose name is Quintero, were riding horseback, as escort 10 the wagon in which the five prison CTS rode. Sunday morning, while Pesqueira was about fifty yards in advance of the others, Quintero suddenly opened fire on the chief, wounding him in the hip. Evident ly believing he had killed the chief Quintero then turned his gun on Policeman Covarrubias, wLo rode near him and who told Quintero be careful with his gun, apparent ly believing 1t had been accident- ally discharged Quintero shot him, killing him instantly.
 The m murderer next shot at Pes queira, who had turned when he heard the shooting. Pesqueira re- turned the fire. but his horse be- came manageable and bolted When he regained control of the animal and turned again to meet Quintero, the latter had fed
 It is supposed that Quintero meant to murder the three officers and rescue the five prisoners, but failing to kill Pesqueira he feared death at the hands of the latter and fled, leaving the prisoners still secured in the wagon.
 The supposition is that the off cers would have been murdered while they slept Saturday night, but just before camping for the night the party met detchnent of rurales and all camped together. As they were due to arrive in Imuris Sunday night, the only op- portunitv Quintero would have to do the murderous work would be to attack the officers on the road when they least expected trouble, which he did.
 The horse ridden by Quinlero turned up ut q ranch Tuesday, but no trace of the murderer has yet been reported
 pr. Barroso. president of the city of Cananea, passed through Nogales Monday night, going to Imuris to attend to the wounds ot Chief of Police Lopez, and he after ward took the five prisoners to Hermosiilo.

upon THE OASIS editor from be. hind, the occurrence, while ridi- culous in the extreme, was entire ly in consonance with the sneak ing and treacherous disposition of the poor creature. He came out of his assay office, where is kept also the (hand )organ of the Adul- lamites, started across the street diagonally, as if to pass the object of his hatred, and when close be- hind the editor, he swerved and struck quick but feeble blow. Mir. Brickwood had not even time to warn the intended victim of his danger, so quickly was done the malicious and dastardly ac- tion.
 Afterward, in discussing the af- fair with someone (so 1t is related) the other Dromio, who is the real manipulator Of the crank of the (hand) organ (Buttinski being the funny little creature thatis always put forward in such combination to rake in the pennies) remarked that 1t was good that Brickwood stepped in between, for if my brother had hit Bird 1t would have killed him, for Al hits an awful blow" Did you ever hear of such shallow self salficiency?
 Now in dismissing this subject TIE OASIS editor wishes to say to the two Dromios that so long as they are in the newspaper business they may expect ridicuIe and criti- cism at the hands of THE OASIS. All real newspaper men expect It.. The real newspaper man sheds abuse. villi6cation, sarcasm and ridicule with the same facility that Buttinski emits vile and profane language. The real news spaper man, while ever ready to Use all the force of which his pen may be possessed, entertains no objection to having leveled at himself the same kind of weapons he employs toward others. The controversy maintained by this journal against a large part of the press of Arizona over the statehood issue is a case in point. And when men cannot enter the field of journalism and hold their own there against all opponents, they are fit subjects for ridicule, and they will always meet 1t when they stand up against this newspaper. That's all there is to that. As for Buttinski's threats to kill TIE OASIS man, They count for nothing. The ed itor will not die before his time anyhow; but should a poor fool out of his latitude be the cause of his death the hood will be on the heads of those who have encourag. ed and supported him in his at tempt to break into noble pro fession for which both he and his brother are entirely united; for the brother is the real editor of the alleged newspaper, and manipul. ator ofthe scheme, Buttinski cut ting but little ice.

TO SETTLE
 IN SONORA TEXAN SEEKING FARM LAND FOR AMERICAN COLONY.
coIonists to Come South from Ken- lucky, Tennessee and Texas to
 Make Homes Tn Sonora.

Sonora will soon have colony of American farmers ii the plans of MT. J D. Tant of Quanah, Texas, do not miscarry, anu there appears to be no doubt in that gentleman's mind of the ultimate success of the venture Mr. Tant arrived in Nogales Saturday night, coming here to enquire about land. Through all agency at Dallas, Texas, he had been informed that there was strip of country in Sonora, about twenty-miles south west Of Nogales, that would be suitable for such an enterprise as he has under consideration. Here, however, he learned that the land in that section of the state is not such as he would care to settle a colony upon. Itis hilly country and watered only By the arroyos tributary to the Altar river, and is not level strip of coun- try, accessible to irrigation, such as had been represented to him.
 In Nogales Mir. Tant learned that Southeast of here there is an abundance of rich agricultural land, that can easily be irrigated and cultiyated-rich valley lands, easily accessible to water.
 MT. Tant will make trip into Sonora with a view to examining and selecting such land as he may deem desirable, and will then treat with the government to secure pos session. Mir. Ledbetter, a banker at Quanah, Texas, will finance the enterprise.
 The plan Is to secure the land, divide it in farm lots of four hundred acres. Of each four hun dred acres two hundred will De sold to colonists, the other two hundred of each tract to be held by the projectors of the plan for future sale.
 Mir. Tant states that the farmers who will settle upon the lands will come from Texas, Kentucky and Tennessee and that they will select ] as colonists only people who have sufficient amount of cash or other resources to maintain themselves for couple of years, during the improving of the land. He says they are d most desirable class ol people, who will build up pros porous town, with schools and churches, and settle there for all time
 Such people can farm proftably 1 in Sonora. The state, rich in mineral wealth, is attracting cap. ital in fabulous amounts and the rapid development of the. mining resources and the building ot rail roads now under way will insure the farmers of a market far greater than the agricultural products oi Sonora at the present time can ] supply.

PRINCESS ELVIRA's
ROMANCE IS At END.
DAUGHTER OF SPANISH PRE-
TENDER HAS FINALLY QUIT
HER PARAMoUR, SAYS REPORT.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Rome, June 3O.-The report that
Princess EIyira, daughter of Don Car
los. the Spanish pratender, has been
persuaded to quit Count Filippo Fol
chi, the married artist with whom she
eloped ten years ago and to enter a
convent has been the staple of gossip
this week. The reliability of the re
port is questioned nv many, but this,
perhaps, is due to the fact that sim
liar reports have been circulated be-
fore and have always turned out false.
1t is known, however, that the Spanish
pretender would move heaven and
earth if he could put his daughter in
a conveiit and it is not at all improb-
able that he will at last succeed in his
efforts. In seeking to bring this about
Don Cailos is not actuated by any
feeling OF solicitude for his daughters
moral welfare. What he is after is to
retain possession Of her immense for
tune which he would be able to do if
she entered convent for life
In his efforts to break the relations
between Princess Elvira ami Folchi
Don Carlos has received the strong
support Of the Vatican authorities.
His other daughter, Princess Massina,
has also been active in his aid and
the fact that Princess Elyira is now
staying with Princess Massina in this
city tends to substantiate the reports
that the runaway princess has finally
decided to quit her paramour. AT the
time Of the elopment the Vatican was
thrown into ferment. Folchi's uncle,
the cardinal, sent out one of the most
prominent members of the Jesuit so
ciety to see and persuade the prin-
cess Of the folly Of her ways. The
Princess Adassina also tried to per
suade hei sister "vivy'' to go into
convent But it was a difficult plan
to carry put Princess Elvira is the
one member Of the family whose re
1igious views have been less bigoted
than those Of the rest Of her kin. Her
motto is. Everything is well lost
for love" And she carried it out
After the eIopment Don Carlos lost
no time in disowning his daughter.

lowing letter. You are my family, my
