KILLING IS ONLY AVERTED BY
 CHANCE
Friends of Shotgun" Johnson Pacify Him While He Is Waiting for Arndt to Return with SixShooter,

An incident which happened yester- day and might have lead to the killing of one or other of the parties, became closed last evening when one of them withdrew a charge he had made against the other. The parties to the dispute were Richard Arndt and J. NJ. Johnson, familiarly known through out the district as Shotgun" Johnson. The trouble seems to have been the outcome of long standing dislike be- tween the two men. ng1a. According to the testimony of one who saw most of the proceedings, Johnson had been talking to a friend of his and incidentally mentioned Arndt and the trouble which he had had with him. A few minutes later Arndt happened to come along that avenue in the Johnson Addition where Johnson was, and the latter seeting him, and only remembering his former dispute, made some remark and reach ed as if for a rock to throw at his old-time enemy. Arndt heard Shot guns" exclamation and turning also reached for stone. Several rocks were thrown from eac hdirection, and then it is alleged Arndt said, you wait till get my sixshooter. You wait till get my sixshooter," and ran down the street towards his home.
 As soon as he heard what Arndt said, Johnson went to his own house, and buckling on a belt of cartridges, l secured his Winchester and started up | the street, loading the gun, and wait Ing for his opponent to come back with | the siXshooter.-
 Some friends of "Shotgun's" saw him, and knowing that if Arndt showed up with gun there would be a killing, induced the former to go into a house, and there persuaded him to put away the gun and let the matter rest.
 A few minutes later Arndt came back without a gun, having another man with him, and then went down to Lowell, where he swore out a war rant against Johnson for simple as- sault. Arndt withdrew the charge later in the evening, and there the matter rests.

ATTACKS PASTORS OF THE RICH
Pittseurg clergyman 5lames Fellow Ministers for Snobbishness.

PITTSBURG, April 19-At the weekly meeting of ministers of Pitts burg this morning Rev. John R. liar ris of the First Cumberland Presby- teriln Church made bitter attack on his fellow ministers of larger and richer churches and on the wealthy chnrchgoers He said:
 The churches of some of our mil lionaires and newly rich are nothing more than 'smart-set clubs
 There IS entirely too much snob, bishness in some of our churches, and this is not confis;ed entirely to the congregations, either Our minis ters talk about slum work and put ting on the form of servant and then they go wearing such fine clothes tEat their appearance bellies Meir sincerity.
 They often make the clail that they need big salaries to clothe and feed large families, and that their position demands that they dress nicely. Perhaps God did not intend that all ministers should have fami- lies.

DUTCH WoMEN's HEAopREss.

Women often possess two headdress- es, one for Sunday and the other for weekdays. In cold or wet weather a hood is worn, stiffened with paper and having two long ribbons, provided with golden hooks, to protect it against the wind
 Above low silk or satin bodice was worn an elaborately folded kerchief of fine lawn or cambric, which allow ed only little of the throat to be seen, and which was fastened by a brooch or ribbon.
 The bodice itself is usually a tight fitting laced one or white or blue sat in. It is said that women of the low CT classes frequently cniy took the trouble of unlacing this cuirasslike garment once a week. The tighter the. bodice the more elegant it's wear CT Is considered, and as a great num- Der of petticoats were de rigueur, a small waist appeared even less than it actually was.

MINING MAN TOUCHED
 FOR ROLL IN FL PASO
Relieved of $500 Gold and a Draft for S400 on a Doug
 las Bank,

DOUGLAS. April 19.-(Specia)-
 While seeing the sights of the city last night c. Bomboy, a mining man of Nacozari, in the Sonora country, was touched for his roll aggregating between S400 and $500 in gold, and re- lieved of a draft for S400 on a Doug las bank, says the Fl Paso Herald.
 Bomboy has a faint recollection of what occurred during the night. but remembers well that when he woke up this morning he was lying beside an adobe building in the outskirts of the city and his money was missing.
 He arrived in the city yesterday and met some friends with whom he spent a portion of the day in Juarez. He started out last night from a Main street saloon to see the city, and took drive in a cab with two men whom he supposed were friends. Later in the night it is said they went to a dance hall and that when they left that place they were accompanied by one of the women.
 Bomboy remembers that they start ed to drive out in the residence sec. tion, of the city and also that when g long distance from the business dis trict that he was assaulted in the cab and while his arms were pinioned by his assailants somebody went through his pockets. His recollection of that part of the adventure is hay, but his story has been related to the police and officers are now working on the case.
 When seen this morning Bomboy said he would remain in the city until tomorrow to see if his assaiIants could be located, but that if nothing de yeloped he would probably return to his home

MAKES YOU
 YOUNG AGAIN
A Man Who Drinks Is Not a
 Hopeless Case After All.

Did you ever have your finger cut of? If you did, you took chloroform to kill the pain. If you didn't, you played the fool. Any man is a fool to strain his nerves to the breaking point. You probably had the nerve to sit down and let the doctor cut your finger of, but what's the use of all that suffering?
 So fl is with a man who drinks. If he don't want to quit, all well and good. But if he does want to quit boozing. then the thing to do Is to take treatment. There is no use straining your nerves by trying to quit without the treatment.
 The McKanna Liquor Cure is an i'm provement on the old Keely Cure. The McKenna cure uses no dangerous hypodermics. It is purely vegetable preparation that is taken internally, that neutralizes the alcoholic poison and afterward tones up the system. A man feels ten years younger after talk ing the cure, and it will easily add ten years to his life. Isn't 1t worth in yestigating, anyway?

sWILKEsBARRE, Pa. April fs.- Capt. Page of Troop B. of the Penn syivania State Constabuiary, station ed here, today received notice from Shpt. J. c. Groome, of Philadelphia. modifying the recent order directing the discharge of any troopers who marry. Trooper Casper Ofterdahl on Thursday made test case of this or. der by marrying Miss Theo Ban bridge, and as several other troopers who are engaged declared they would rather resign than break their prom ise to the girls, the officers of the constabulary faced the possibility of the loss of a number of first-class troopers.
 Supt. Groome has therefore decided that Ofterdahl shall not be discharged and that all the troopers who have announced their engagements shall be permitted to wed and also remain in the troop.

BIG MEETING TO BE HELD THIS
 EVENING
Open Air Entertainment Will Make People Better Acqaint- ed with Street Railway Franchise.

In order to bring the matter of yot- ing on the street railway franchise to the attention of the citizens of Bisbee in a practical manner a big open air entertainment has been arranged to take place on the plaza in front of the library building this evening, at which time a program bearing directly on the subject win be rendered.
 During the past few weeks the va rious commercial organizations of the city have given a great deal of time to the question of granting to the War ren Company. a franchise to operate a street car line through the city. and after studying the matter thoroughly have expressed themselves as being unanimously in favor of the proposi- tion.
 Knowing well that it was necessary to place the matter before the people of the city at large in clear and con else manner, as many of the voters have not got the time necessary to go into a thorough study of the matter at the meetings of the commercial or ganizations, these bodies arranged to hold the big open air entertainment.
 In order to relieve the monotony of a dry discussion of the franchise itself, a musical program has also been ar ranged, and various selections will be rendered during the intermissions. The principal number on the program will be the displaying of various views depiciting scenes from Warren, where one end of the railway will be, and from various places along the route to the upper end of Tombstone Can yon. where the other end is proposed. This was considered the best mau- her in which to place the subject be fore the people. and get them 10 take the interest in the. matter of granting the franchise.

MAN IS CHARGED WITH GRAVE
 DEFENSE
J. B. Riley Accused By Mrs. Moore with Having Injured Her After Making Improper Proposal.

One of the strangest cases which has come up in the district for long time is that of the Territory Ys J. B. Riley. charged with assaulting Mrs. J. B. Moore of South Bisbee on last Monday afternoon when, she alleges, he threw her from a buggy after hav- ing made an indecent proposal to her
 According to the story told by the complaining witness, Riley was driy- inc, past the beer garden on the Naco road when she hailed him, and asked if he were going to drive near South Bisbee, where she lived. He stated that he was. and she got into the buggy. She then alleges that he start ef to drive around by Bakerville. and when he got to lonely spot in the road, where he made an indecent pro posal to her, and when she refused to accede. threw her from the buggy, in- fiicting painful injuries.
 Mrs. Moore appeared in Justice Grier's court at Lowell on Thursday and charged Riley with the offence. after which he was arrested and his preliminary hearing set for 10 o'clock this morning.
 Riley absolutely denies the story
 
 decent proposal, and throwing her from the buggy. although he admits she rode with him, and was hurt when the buggy was overturned near Baker vile.
 It was couple of weeks ago, early in the evening, that an automobile marty was returning from a run to Warren, when the machine broke down at the Lewis House on Naco road, and it was necessary to send 10 Bisbee for another machine to bring in the disabled car. Mrs. Moore. it is alleged, walked out of the beer gar den in an intoxicated condition and carrying several bottles of beer, en- tered one of the automobiles. making herself quite at home.

NEW CHARTER IS
 DEFERRED
Thought Advisable to Allow
 Taxpayers More Time for Consideration of Important Measures-JuIy 9the Date.

After considering the matter from all sides, it has been decided to post pone the vote on the new city charter for three weeks, in order to afford the taxpayers of the city an opportunity to give the matter thorough study Instead of June 20, the election will be held on July g.
 At the time the council acted on the matter of referring the charter to a vote of the taxpayers, there was some doubt as to the advisability of bring ing the question to the attention of the people so soon after the election which will be held on the street rail- way franchise on June 12, but it was finally decided to hold the election on June 20.
 Within a short time past copies of the charter law have been mailed to every taxpayer in the city, so that each and everyone will have an oppor- tunity to study it and cast his vote intelligently when election day ar riyes.
 Another reason for changing the date of the election was to incor- porate in the notice the proposition as to whether the aldermen shall be elected from the various wards or at large. This proposition will be voted on entirely distinct from the charter law itself.
 The passage of the new charter law is a matter of the utmost importance to the city of Bisbee for many req sons, the principal of which is to give the city government power to enforce it's laws by means of criminal prose cution, without which the municipal ity is at the mercy of those who elect to refuse payment of licenses. What condition the refusal to pay licenses will lead to, in view of the recent de- cision of the district court, can be easily seen. The city would be forced into bankruptcy within a short time.
 Now that a copy of the law has been mailed to each and every taxpayer, and as the matter is of such uudis- puted importance, 1t behooves every- one interested in property within the heurteries of Bisbee to become fully informed, and not only satisfy himself as to the wisdom of adopting the new measure. but to induce others who have vote in the matter to also study the law thoroughly and arrive at the same conclusion.
 Never in the history of the city has such an important measure been placed before the taxpayers for their consideration, and if they choose to neglect the matter no one but them selves will be the sufferers, as the revenue derived from licenses may not be forthcoming, and the burden will fall on the real estate.
