YOUNG GIRL WAS
 CAUSE OF DUEL
Body of Our COmbatanl At UndertakerS SIa.
 Ter Is Re-AifeSted

Douglas. AriZ., Feb. 19.-lSpecsall- | A. J. Brice, who was shot at Pirtle- | vile Tuesday evening by Charley Y.
 Webb in a fight with rifle, died yes terday afternoon at the c. & A. hos pital In Douglas. Both men lived in
 or near Pirtleville.
 The history of the tragic duel has
 been written. It was about a young | girl, and between two men, both | young, who were as game a pair as | ever went to war for love of woman. | A story became current that Brice
 had made a derogatory remark about a young woman, and that Webb had l told this tale. Brice taxed Webb
 with the report and they passed the ] lie" and fought. A fist fight only be- gan the matter, and it wound up with | the understanding that the two men
 would 'shoot it out" on sight. They met in Pirtleville in so short a time | afterward that the faces of both men
 were still disfigured by the results
 of the fist fight.
 Accounts of the dCei differ. It was
 with repeating rifles which shot soft | nose bullets. No two tales of all the circumstances of the fight agree. but
 there is one feature about which there I Is no dispute, and that is that it was
 fair fight. All agree that Webb i ceased firing as soon as his enemy ! went down.
 There were many spectators at the
 encounter, but not one has yet been | found who will give the name of the girl about whom the fatal encounter took place, or who will cast any re- fection upon the motive of either
 party. Both men have their friends, l but neither side is disposed to find | any great fault with the other. Webb is a Mormon, from the Gila
 valley of Graham county, where his father of the same name is a forest
 ranger. Webb is employed at the c. | & A. smelter, and is known among the | men as one who twill treat you ! right"
 l Brice came here from Texas, where
 his father was killed in a gun fight, the slayer escaping on one of his | victims horses. Some say the son I HI 0STe
 to find and kill the slayer of his | father. He generally rode with his | rife at his saddle bow and was often | seen riding through Douglas so equip
 ped. He was known as a man of cool
 courage, and the escape of Webb un-
 hurt from Tuesdays duel is attribut-
 ed generally to the fact that a cart | ridge hung in Brice's gun and he was | disabled before he could get his rife
 to work He was known as a fine
 shot, and Webb says the first bullet from his gun burnt the tip of his ear. Webb, who had been admitted to $200 bail after the shooting, was re- | arrested upon the death of Brice yes
 terday by Deputy Hayhurst and Capt.
 Rynning of the rangers. His hearing
 is set for this afternoon at o'clock
 in Judge McDonald's court. At the | trial, if it is not waived by Webb,
 many witnesses will give versions of
 the affair that will hereafter be known | to the courts
 I Brice has brother, an aunt and | other relatives in Douglas.
 Brice will be buried Monday morn
 ing at Il o'clock from the Ferguson
 undertaking parlors, Rev. S. W. Jack son, of the Christian church, oficiat-
 ing.

Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 9.-(Speciale
 H. c. ,Coe, who is in Phoenix from Roosevelt on his way to Nevada, makes strong charges against Con tractor O'Rourke, who has gang of men at work on the government dam.
 Coe states that about eighty men are now being worked ten hours a day, instead of eight. which is called for by Federal law on all government contracts.
 It is claimed by Coe that the men are being paid for but eight hours work. Just now they are engaged in making the excavations into the side of the canyon, into which the ends of the dam will be built
 For the past eleven months, Coe has been foreman of the lime quarry, ont of which rock is being taken to furnish lime for the construction work. He recently resigned his posi- -t>n to go to southern Nevada and en-
 ge in mining.
 Coe made his statements this morn. ing with considerable detail. He says that the action is entirely contrary to law, and believes that O'Rourke is now subject to prosecution by the Federal authorities.
 Goes statements are rather pecu- liar in view of the fact that a short time ago United States Attorney Al exander met o'Rourke in Tucson, and

 On April II the three masted schoon- CT Marion, Capt. Kraus, belonging to the Alaska Goldfish Co.,, of San Francis co, while attempting to make Company harbor, heavily laden with provisions and lumber, was totally wrecked on Koslok point, Sanak island, about 9:30 D. m. According to information gained from second mate E. Nelson, as we'll as the whole of the crew, it seems to be a case of willful negilg ence on the part of the captain, he being in drunken stupor. He had been warned of the close proximity of the land, but after running into Unimak Cove by mistake, and coming out again, he was heard to make the statement that he would either make Company harbor or pile her up high and dry. Just before strik- ing, the captain was again warned of the rocks ahead, but he simply answer ed, "Let her go" Shortly after striking a strong wind came up and it was not many hours before the vessel was total ly destroyed, What seems to be mat ter for investigation was the amount of liquor said to have been carried by the captain on his own behalf, and which he seemed very anxious to save. After this liquor had been landed, others, in the confusion, helped themselves lib- erally, resulting in two deaths by drowning.-Alaska Prospector.
