OFFICERS JUSTIFIED IN
 KILLING MEXICAN

DOUGLAS. Oct. 2-(Special)-
 Shortly before o'clock yesterday morning Officer E. K. Martin shot and fatally wounded a drunken Mexican named Primetorio, who was rushing upon Officer Gentry with murderous knife just outside a little cabin in the rear of Berger's place on Eighth street. The ball entered the mans stomach and came out near the hip. He was taken to the Calumet hospital where he died shortly before o'clock. Mar tins statement of the shooting is as follows:
 "oficer Gentry and myself were called to the house Of - Arriba to arrest one Primetorio who was brand ishing a large knife in drunken fren- zy and threatening to kill the wife of Arriba whom he held by the wrist. We opened the door and called upon them to come out The wife came out but the hombre' shut the door in my face. Arriba had previously told me that Primetorio had a knife and pis- tol. In the interval between my call ing and his shutting the door l lit a match and caught a glimpse of some thing shining. which I took to be a knife
 After his shutting the door I ran to the back window to keep him from going out of that. Gentry stayed at the door, Primetorio again opened the door and ran past Gentry. Gen try followed, firing at his feet. I fol- lowed them and when caught up the 'bombre' had turned on Gentry and was rushing him, saying at the same time in English, I'll kill you, you = - - Gentry was holding his gun pointed at him fired, aiming at his stomach. Gentry also fired. I was under the impression that Gentry's gun had caught on him and that if didn't get the man he would get Gen try"
 Martin is a brother of J. o. Martin, the well known real estate man. He was an officer in the Colorado yolun- teers in the Philippines and came home with a fine record. He has been on the force since last spring.

Mrs. Jose Ariba, wife of the Mexican who went after the officers. testified that Primetorio, who was a stranger to her, came to their home drunk be- tween 2 and o'clock in the morning, and commenced to make trouble. Aft CT Ariba left the house, which is a it. tie cabin in the rear of Berger's place on Eighth street, Primetorio drew huge knife fully twelve inches long and told the woman he would kill her if she did not consent to his base de- sires. Mrs. Ariba Is in an extremely delicate condition, and as terrified as as she waa the woman managed to stand the brute on until the officers ar rived She corroborated the statement of Martin as to what occurred after the two officers reached the cabin.
 After hearing the evidence of Mrs. Ariba and the officers. Judge Rice promptly discharged the defendants. holding that in view of the facts as presented to the court the shooting was justified.
 The remains of Primetorio are at the Washington undertaking rooms where an inquest will be held this aft n.

TOMBSTONE. Ariz., Oct. 2.-Fol- lowing it's announced intention to car v cut policy of retrenchment. the Tombstone Consolidated Mines Com pany last evening laid off a large number of it's working force and has ceased to operate the Tranquility, Silver Thread and Tribute shafts. The number of men affected by the lay-off will probably reach close to fifty. It is announced by one of these in charge of the work that the rule of retain ing in employ all those who are men of family and who own their own homes in Tombstone has been follow ed where possible and practicable. A number of the men formerly employed in the Silver Thread and other shafts where work has been suspended were put on at the Boom shaft, the principal working of the company.
 Numbers of those who found them selves out of employment are leaving for other parts, many Of them going into the Dragoon mining district where development work is more active than in any other section of Cochise coun- ty-

 Attaches of the court house yester- day were given a scare. Bullets flew in all directions, healthy .45 drop ping in the main hall of the building. while another found target on the brick wall beneath the window of Clerk of the Court Wilcox.
 And Janitor Sanders was the inno- cent cause of it all. In his zeal to maintain a state of perfect cleanli- ness in and about the offices of the hall of justice and records, he daily gathers the contents of waste paper baskets and consigns them to the mid street bonfire
 Now, someone had carelessly divest- ed himself of all loose ammunition and a waste basket happened to be the receptacle for 8 dozen or fifteen cartridges.
 The cracking and popping of something or other in the fire, follow cd by the song of whiZzing leaden missiles put everyone within earshot on the run.
 The entire sheriff's force of depu- ties. headed by Undersheriff Arthur Hopkins and Head Deputy Ned White, rushed out of headquarters with drawn guns, prepared to hold the court house against the enemy at any cost.

The cost of denaturIng alcohol will be

per gallon.
The chief alcohol yielding materials
produced in farm crops is starch and
sugar. Used for this purpose they
yield about As per cent of their weight
in alcohol. This gives US basis for
estimating the amount of alcohol which
different crops may yield. Thus the
percentage of alcohol making material
in different farm products, of which
about 4F per cent can be converted into
alcohol. is about as follows:

Denatured Alcohol and the Farmer

Denatured alcohol is simply the COM
mercial grade of pure alcohol made un-
fit for use as beverage by having
added to it wood alcohol, which is
poisonous. This denaturing process
must be under the direct inspection and
control Of the United States govern
ment.
II is not likely that the individual
farmer will operate and own his still.
This would interfere to much with the
regular farm work. The expense of
inspecting these stills and denaturipg
this alcohol in small quantities would
be enormous. There is no reason, how
ever, why cooperative or county dis
tilleries should not be set up in which
the farmers would own stock, furnish
the raw material, and use the finished

For example, suppose farmer raise
but 100 bushels of potatoes on an acre,
these will weigh 5000 pounds. Accord
ing to the above table seventeen per
cent of this. or LOO pounds, is starch.
This starch will yield about forty-five
per cent of its weight in alcohol, or 45o
pounds, which equals sixty-seven gal
Ions. Thus the alcohol produced from
one acre of potatoes of 100 bushel yield,
selling for twenty-five cents per gallon,
would amount to the sum of $16.75.
Calculations made from any of the
other farm crops, as to the amount of
alcohol which may be produced, will
look rather small from the farmers
standpoint.
Under these conditions, it would hard
ly be paying proposition to raise the
average crop, for the production of
alcohol. However, there is always, in
connection with the farm, some pro-
ducts which could be readily converted
into alcohol, which would otherwise be
totally lost. This alcohol would, in the
majority of cases, furnish the heat,
light and power necessary for that
farm, and would at the same time, tend
to keep down the price of gasoline and
kerosene.
For lighting purposes, alcohol has
been found to possess almost twice the
efficiency of kerosene. 1t furnishes
brighter, cleaner and winter light.
without the disagreeable odor, and is
safer than kerosene.
For power purposes. according to
Lucke, IAN engine designed for gaso-
line or kerosene can, without any ma
terial alterations to adapt it to alcohol,
give slightly more power (about ten
per cent? than when operated with
gasoline or kerosene, but the increase
is at the expense of greater consump-
ton of fuel. By alterations, designed
to adapt the engine to this new fuel, this
excess of power may be increased to
a bout twenty per cent"
1.-THE different designs of gasoline
engines are not equally well adapted to
the burning of alcohol, though all may
burn it with fair degree of success"
In most localities it is unlikely that
alcohol power will be cheaper or rs
cheap as gasoline power, for some time
to come.
Too much must not be expected of
the alcohol industry at once; its progress
is bound to be slow. There are many
problems to solve which will take con-
siderable time.

Captain Hobson's
Practical Politics

lONSxSAA l OA4S4~S
For between seasons asst uteness
it begins to appear as if Capt.
Richard P. Hobson of Alabama
is giving pointers to the oldest
politicians in the country.
It was only a short time ago
that Capt. Hobson was elected to
congress. The young man ousted
Congressman Bankhead, and did
it with ease, but it was predicted
that the wave of enthusiasm
which carried the young warrior
into Office would soon wear off
and he would be retired to pri-
vate life But Capt. Hobson has
shown no disposition to rest on
his oars. Here, at a time when
most other politicians are yawn-
ing their heads off, waiting for
something to turn up, he has
started out to help the people of
his district and incidently to
strengthen his own political
fences. He has borrowed from
the agricultural department an
expert on road building, one on
soils, one on cotton growing, and
one on forestry. With these ex-
perts the captain is travelling
through his district, giving advice
and practical demonstrations for
the benefit of the planters.
If this is the work of a political
novice, it must be admitted that
it will prove very effective. AS
a general rule the public servant
who returns from Washington
forgets all about everybody else
until it is time to go back. Then,
a few months before his cam
paign for reelection, he goes
out and makes a few speeches
and thinks he has done enough
to fix himself in Office for anoth-
er term. The man who tried
such loafng tactics against such
a practical game as Hobson is
working would not be in the run
ming when it came time for the
vote. 1t is said Capt. Hobson has
his eyes on the senate, and such
systematic work bids fair to land
it.
There is one disturbing feature
of the Hobson fence-mending
scheme, however. The depart
ment of agriculture is likely to
be robbed of all it's experts by
senators and representatives who
want to hold their jobs. Think
what a scramble there will be fo,
the experts in poultry, for in.
stance, when the politicians
awake to the beauties of the
Hobson scheme. Many a dignifiec
senator might figure that he
could hold his job if he coule
only circulate among his constit.
uents and tell them how to make
hens lay all through the winter.
And what argument of the oppo
sition would avail against a can
didate who had told his constitu.
ents how to slay the potato bug
or the festive grasshopper? Il

main in Washington, the nations

Retaining Youthful
Enthusiasm

Very soon l shall have reached
70 years, when could retire and
drop out of all the activities
of the world to live in quiet
and seclusion. But I am too
much interested in the things
that are going on-too young in
spirits.
These are the words of Hon.
David J. Brewer, justice of the
United States supreme court.
They form wonderful text, and
should serve as an inspiration to
those people who begin to find
themselves growing old before
their time. Justice Brewer is an
optimist of the most commend
able sort. He finds himself at
the age of 70 too much inter-
ested in the things that are going
on-too young in spirit" ito
allow himself to turn from the
duties of life and enter the shad-
ows of quiet and seclusion. He
cannot bring himself to drop out
of the harness. Justice Brewers
three score and ten years do not
represent age, but ripening-a
store of knowledge and a matured
Judgment, that come only with
long experience. It is, indeed, a
commendable accomplishment to
be able to grow old with grace,
and retain a spirit full of youth
full enthusiasm that takes a keen
interest in current events.
Like many other men in public
and private life Justice Brewer
has found the secret of perpetual
youth-to keep the spirit young.
What matter then if the years
pass by in ever quickening sue
cession bringing with them the
locks of gray? What matter then
if our step begins to falter? We
still retain our interest in life and
it's many-sided interests, which,
after all, is the real reason for
our enjoyment and satisfaction.
Now that we stop to think of it,
what one of us notes the tides of
time in thinking of Mark Twain,
Grover Cleveland, Senator Pettus,
Admiral Dewey, Cardinal Glib
bons, or a host of other young
sters who are still frolicking in
the playground of life eventhough
they have passed the SEVENTEEN
milestone and many of them have
already numbered their full four
score of years.
On the supreme bench with
Justice Brewer are Justice Harlan
and Chief Justice Fuller, who
are "a and 70 years young re-
spectively. Most of us will re-
member with keen satisfaction
that only few weeks ago JUS
tice Harlan, while participating
in a baseball game, hammered
out a home run that won the
contest. Professor Crookes, the
eminent scientist, doesn't know
that he has reached the age of
rs. Edward Everett Hale, chap
lain of the United States senate,
is "a, but is still hale and hearty,
and takes a remarkably keen
interest in current affairs. In
congress are Senators Pettus, sc;
Morgan, "a; Cullon and Allison,
each 78. In England there is
Lord Roberts, 75,. and Wolseley,
"a.
So we might continue indefin-
itely nameing over the prominent
persons who. though they are
we'll advanced in years, continue
to be a potent force in the affairs
Of their country, It is merely
retaining our youthful enthusi-
asm regardless of the passing
years. 1t is a lesson we all might
heed with profit. Pueblo Chief
