 AT PORTAL CAMP

 Gun Play,

DOUGLAS. Jan. 5.-CSpecial.l l.
 From gentleman who arrived ir this city yesterday from Paradise the first authentic account of the killing which occurred at Portal in the Chiri cahua mountains was obtained. Ac cording to our informant the man Joel was killed by Boswell in de fense of his person and his place oi business. The story given is as fol lows:
 There was only one eye witness to the killing. besides Boswell. who wons saloon at Portal, and the dead man. The man who was present when the killing occurred relates that he en- tered the saloon in the evening he found Boswell and JoeIl sitting by the stove talking. He invited JoelI to take Ia drink and the invitation was ac- cepted and the two men went to the bar and Boswell went behind it to serve them While Boswell was get ting the whisky bottle JoeIl made the remark that he would shoot a picture, which was hanging behind the bar. Boswell remarked, "No. don't do that" 1" With this Joeli pulled his revolver and fired, the ball going into the cell ing over the picture.
 Boswell remarked. Now, you have put the lights out and I will have to get match" and turned and went in to a side room, where he slept at night and where he kent a double bar rel shotgun.

FL PAsO HAS GREATLY
 INCREASEDPOPULATION
What Changes Were Made In Few Months Chronicled
 By Journalist,

Fl Paso's directory for 1907 is just from the press The directory shows that EI Paso has at present 4z,1l7 inhabitants, an increase Of 3,2s2 over last year.
 In the preface of this new directory the publisher writes the following in regard to Fl Paso:
 Tn October the writer visited Fl Psso and spent several days in shak- ing hands with his old friends and driving over the city. From reports sent in from time 10 time we were prepared to see great improvement. What we saw amazed us, and for once at least, our faithful reporters had underestimated the conditions. A new town had arisen since our visit of three years before Street rail ways had reached out into hitherto barren wastes. hiIiside5 had been de moisshed and handsome homes, very many of them of beautiful architec- ture, studded the hills. Among the noticeable things ye saw was steel office building under construction that would be credit to any city, and & new union depot, not only a beautiful building. but in every appointment first-eiass The dining service there is fine and no better can be obtained at the sweiiest hotel in Boston.
 While we have always been opti- mistic Of the future of Ei Paso, we are now more than ever convinced that she is destined to be big city. and with one exception. in our opin- ion. will reach the 100000 mark be- fore any of her sister cities visit which we made to the tributary min ing camps would satisfy the most skepticai of the ultimate outcome. even if Fl Paso had nothing else in her favor But the Rio Crande valley will before long have a teeming pop rlation in agricultural pursuits and if the report is correct, she will in the near future have railroad shops that will alone support the community. May the extension of tke E. P. and s. ". hasten this great rejoicing.
 "Our canvass shows a present pop nlation os z2.117. an increase of S,9s2 over fast year.
 The best indication that Eli Paso has awskened to a realization of her coming efra'ness is her street build ing. and Ne aseryed that she is do ing this mos essential thing in a business like and thorough manner
 Better thar all is the gzanin,ity of purpose. the loyalty and progressive spirit of her people. The knockef doea not abide here. your iife-giTing atmosphere has DO element of fife for him He belongs and has habitat elsewhere"

"THE OLD SCRATCH"
How the Evil One Came to be Popu. Iarly Known as ''The Old Scratch"

One of the many famous names of his satanic majesty is "The Old Scratch" It is undoubtedly due to the fact that scratching Is so disagree able that people thought 1t no worse than the evil one. A scalp full of dan druff keeps one scratching all the time: not only disagreeable but con sidered very inelegant in polite society as it should be-because one ought to keep the scalp so clean that it would not itch. To cure the scalp of dan druff effectively use Newbro's HerpI- eide. It kills the ger mthat creates dan druff, which is preliminary to falling hair. and finally, badness. No other hair preparation kills the dandruff germ. Herpicide also is very de ightful and effective hair-dressing.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISER.
Result of Single Trial in News
paper Publicity.

The author of the Autobiography
Of a Bushes Man." in the Febru-
ary Everybody, says:
For number of years I advertised
only in my windows and in some Of
the street-cars, because I did not
feel that I could Gfford to advertise
in the daily papers. Two years ago
last September 1 was having a crav
enette coat sale, and succeeded in
selling for couple Of weeks about
fifty coats a day. thought I would
try column ad. in one of the even
ing papers The next day this col
uran ad. app -ared in one Of the even
ing papers, and, by the by, it was
not the one that had the largest cir
culation in Chicago; 1 selected the
paper that this ad. appeared in
because they gave me a low rate, but
they agreed to give my ad. good
position in the paper. The result
was that the next DAY the sales,
which fornt .ly had been about fifty
coats a day, jumped to 142, and in
fifty days l void over $500 raincoats.
For the ear following that sale
I confined to advertise in this one
paper. Last fall I felt that 1 could
afford to invest, say. $4,000 in adver-
Using in some of the other papers.
I used three morning papers and
three evening papers, the best in Chi
cago. The results have been some
thing phenomenal. I did not have to
invest $4,000. The profits came back
from the newspaper advertising be-
fore their bills came in, and l Go not
figure today that 1 have dollar in
vested in advertising. In my opinion
the only way to advertise is to give
them plain, common-sense talk. Tell
them the truth. Do not get custo-
mer to come to your store and find
