A. w. hulSe, WnOe was a Ifleuu Ol Jim Mckinney and who took part in the memorable fight between McKin- ney and the officers in Bakersfield a | few years ago, committed. suicide in the Bakersfield jail last Sunday by cutting his throat. Hulse was dope fiend and was living with woman named Jennie Fox in a. room in the Chinese quarter of the town when Mckinney arrived there pursued by the Arizona and California officers. The house was surrounded and McKin- ney was called upon to surrender. He replied by shooting two of the Bakers. field officers fatally and was himself shot dead. Hulse after the affray was found on the street of the town, but how he got out of the room was never known. He was indicted as an access ory to the killing of Marshall Tibbitts and was tried and convicted of the crime. The case was appealed and is still in the supreme court. The death of the man will cause no regrets where he was best known. Mckinney, the man whom he befriended, it will be remembered, murdered Blakey and Winchester in this county few years ago.

 Lamar Brothers, of Needles, have just launched new boat on the Col orado river to ply between Mellen and Parker. The boat is tripple screw and draws but nine inches of water. It is designed to make the trip from Topoc to Mack's landing in three and one-half hours, making the return trip in less than twelve hours. The boat is one of the fastest on the river and is destined for freight and passenger traffic. Special ratings will be made on contracts exceeding five tons. The advent of this boat, which has been christened the Water Pearl, on the Colorado river will be of advantage to people who have heretofore depended on wagon haul from Needles and else where to down river points. Messrs. Lamar Brothers have had eight years' experience in river navigation. A trip has just been made to Mack's Landing and the boat made, good the builders contract. s, .id G ;t ..5'.> a.
