BULLFT-TORN
 MORNING AIR
IA Fierce Battle at Star
 Lodging House
Balls Cut Through Sleeping Rooms and WhiStled About the Heads of Guests.

The fiercest fussilade heard in AriZo- ma since Indian times took place at the Star lodging house yesterday morning. The establishment was riddled with bullets. They tore through the thin partitions of the sleeping rooms and whistled over the heads of the occu- pants. About thirty-seven shots were fired altogether, though there was no accurate count.
 A Mexican, Santiago Lopez, was at the bottom of the battle. Lopez, who had been working on the A. & C. road, arrived at the lodging house the eve ming before in company with Jesus Sa- vadra. There was nothing in his ap- l peaTance or manner to enlist special interest until early yesterday morning, when interest in him became general and acute.
 1 About o'clock the stiffness of that vicinity was ripped open by the sharp | crack of a revolver. Those of the sev- l enty-fiVe guests who happened to have l left their beds hurried to their doors | to see what was the matter. One of | them who occupied room across the | passag age-way from the room in which ] Lopez and his companion had slept
 was shot at as soon as he emerged. Another man left his room in time to

 the passa ge- way. the officer looked
 across the open space and saw the Mexican standing with his gun in his
 hand. The officer covered him and 3 told him to drop his weapon Instead he fired with marvellous quickness anC

the Mexican fired twice at him through the fence.
 During the interval between the demonstration by the officer and the coming of the force from the sheriff's office the Mexican made recOnnois- ance in force along the row of sleeping rooms nearest the outhouse The first room was occupied by a German, who was new to the west. The door of the room was partly open, and when the German saw a man standing in front of it with a revolver he hastily closed it. The Mexican fired four shots
 through the door. The German took
 refuge in a corner of the room, calling
 out that a mistake was being made.
 On the arrival of Deputy Charles
 Slankard and Josiah Anderson. they
 were joined by Officer Carr and the
 trio approached through the passage way through which Carr had first come on the scene. Their program was not to kill the man. but to confuse him by rapid shooting. Then the battle be- gain in earnest After several shots : had been fired. Anderson jumped into the oDen and took a position behind a stump. At the same instant bullet cut the top of the stump above his head The next bullet whistled within 1 two inches of the head of Deputy Siankard on one side and within the ! same uncomfortable distance of the i head of Anderson on the other side.

WRITE US FREELY

By this time the officers were get ting careless as to whether they killed the Mexican or not. He had wrenched off the door of the outhouse, and, using it as shield was advancing upon the officers. firing as he came, from be- hind the door. One of the officers fired through the center of the door. just missing the man. A bullet from An
 derson's revolver would have gone
 through him. but 1t struck the lock and shattered it.
 The officers had been trying to keep ! a sort of count of the shots fired by the Mexican in the last fusillade, and now judging his gun to be empty. they rushed in. They were none too soon. His weapon was a new model Smith l &, Wesson. and he already had three ! cartridges in it. but the chamber had not been swung back. He was seized l by Slankard and Carr and at the same ] time Anderson struck him. the force of the blow falling upon Slankard' s | hand
 The battle was now over and Lopez
 was taken to jail. where, later in the ! day, a warrant was sworn out against l him by Deputy Sheriff Slankard. The man is probably insane but there is ! a difference of opinion about that He 1 talked with some appearance of reason. ! He said that the shooting began over ] quarrel which he had had with his | room mate. who struck him on the head with a shoe. The first shot was ! fired at him. After that he regarded every man he saw as an enemy with 1 designs against him.

tried so many demicines and doctors
without help that | was thoroughly

the cod liver oil preparation, Vinol,
and to my surprise, it had none of the

old-fashioned cod liver oil or emul-
sions, and it was delicious to take.
In a remarkably shot time it gave
