ing. Finally the restaurant man drew a gun and even then the customer had to delay his going to inquire If the negro was really going to shoot him and argue with him on that point. The negro emptied a six shooter at him at close range, four of the bullets taking effect.
 In establishing the venue the dis trict attorney asked Haywood what county all this happened in. The wit ness said he was not sure but he thought he had heard it called Cheese" That was sufficient since all knew that he meant Cochise.
 Another case was that of Giuseppe Musso, who is serving ten years at Yuma for the killing of Barney Geis at Tombstone last December. There was not great deal of intelligible evil dence regarding the killing. It seemed to have been the outcome of drunken row in an Italian saloon. There was one eye witness but he could not tell what he had seen or what had occur red immediately preceding the shoot ing. The Italian after having shot Geis hunted up an officer and surrendered himself saying that he had shot a man. His manner suggested that he was insane and he was locked up. Later the officer heard that a man had actually been shot.
 In the third case, O. J. Martin is the appellant and he is desirous of avoid- ing a two year sentence in the territo- r.al prison for embeZZlement The complainant was $. O. Strong. who IA. ,foI, to open roulette game. This was be- fore the territorial law abolishing gambling went into effect. The rou- Iette game was never opened but Mar tin is charged with having squandered the money for his own purposes. The defense sought to show that the money had not been intrusted to Martin as af employe but that he was handling it as partner The jury did not take that view of it and found him guilty.

COCHISE CONVICTS
 WANT NEW DEALS
Appeals in Three Much Talked of Criminal Cases Come Up to Supreme Court.

The supreme court docket was heightened yesterday by three criminal cases from Cochise county. In one of them the appellant is c. C. Craft, a former colored restaurant keeper at Douglas, who is serving a fifteen year sentence at Yuma for trying to kill a patron, Grant Haywood. whom, ac- cording to the testimony of the com plaining witness, Craft shot four times making nine holes. The trouble came up over the price of a steak. though that would perhaps have not been seri- Ous if HaywOod| had not stopped to chew the rag after having chewed the steak. Craft seems to have been just drunk enough to construe the remarks of Mir. Haywood as part of an attempt to run the appellants restaurant. This took place on March 10 of last year.
 The record shows that Haywood. who had been a regular customer, called for steak and the negro with proper forethought told him the price, seventy cents. Haywood replied that that was more than a man getting 8 a day could afford to pay when he could get other things just as filling for less money. He reminded the ne- gro that he had been getting full meals there for from thirty-five to fifty cents.
 The proprietor. then told Haywood that he could have the steak for sixty cents and Haywood said he would take it. The negro in order to be sure that there was no misundei istanding asked him if he would pay Nor it if it was put up for him. He replied that he would do SO and he did so after he had eaten it. It was then that Haywood began to lecture the negro on the i'm morality of charging such a price for a steak. He was ordered out of the place but he remained and kept talk

Letter from Florida.

DE LAND, FLA., FEB. 10, lSUI.
After few weeks stay at New York
we took the train the evening before
Thanksgiving, and arrived at De Land,
the "Athens OF Florida" the last day OF
November. We find this a very pleasant
place, slightly rolling country, and
think 1t healthy. December, until the
freeze OF Christmas, was unusually
pleasant, but very dry, and 1t 80 con-
tinued through January.
The Christmas freeze did much dam.
age, and there have been some cases OF
sickness from eating frozen oranges.
For the past two weeks frost has been
quite common, and very many have had
colds or grippe, almost an epidemic.
Not to be odd We have taken q small
share, nothing serious.
We have in our house Mrs. Smith and
Mrs. Bisbee from the vicinity OF Boston
who were known some years ago AZ
Julia and Emily Chafin, daughters OF
Rodney Chafiu. Some OF the boys like
&C. B." and "Dr. Pink" will probably
remember them. .,o
The Stetson University has had 4OS
students this. term, and there is also q
good public school, 30 that tourists can
bring their children and not miss their
studies.
Our children are on their way from
New York via Havana, Nassau and
East Coast to visit Us. We shall not put
them into school - they arc TOO young
and hardly out of their a, b, c's. We
arc glad to be away from the snow OF
the North, but shall be glad to move up
when It comes warm.

Town Meeting Next Monday.

The warrant for the annual town
meeting in Paris next Monday contains
twenty-eight articles, which are pretty
likely to keep the meeting busy through
a long session. Though there are no
unusually exciting issues to be threshed
out, there will probably be no lack of
topics for warm and perhaps prolonged
discussion. Outside of the matters
which are of routine and may be found
in the warrant every year, there are in
the warrant the following special
articles:
Art.7. To see IL the town will vote to raise
the sum of 1854 o. for high school fuel anu

Drank carbolic Acid by Mistake.
DEATH OF MISS LorrIE STAMP AT RUM
FORD FALLS.

Miss Lottie Stamp, head waitress at
Hotel Rumford, Rumford Falls, died
Tuesday, Feb. 10, from the effects OF
drinking carbolic acid by mistake.
Miss Stamp kept bottle of aromatic
spirits of ammonia in her bureau drawer
for occasional use. On Tuesday after.
noon she asked another waitress to hand
her the bottle from the second drawer of
the bureau, but was evidently mistaken
in the drawer, as the bottle which her
companion handed her proved to contain
carbolic acid. As soon az this was dis
covered, physicians were summoned,
but she lived only q few minutes. She
was 81 years OF age.
An inquest was held by Coroner d. L:
Elliott, and a verdict of accidental
poisoning at her own hand was rendered.

MRS. j. H. BLAKE.

Mrs. Ellen NJ, wife of James d. Blake,
died at her home in South Paris Thurs
day evening, after an illness of some
weeks. Physicians had been so baffled
by her illness that an autopsy was held
to determine the cause Of death, when it
was found that she had suffered from
complication of organic troubles.
Mrs. Blake's maiden name was Tucker,
and she was sister Of Sumner E. Tucker
and George P. Tucker Of this place. She
was twice married. Her first husband
was Kendall Swift, who died few years
since. In 1905 she married James a.
Blake who survives her. She leaves no
children.
Mrs. Blake had been for long time a
member of the Methodist church, and
the funeral Saturday afternoon was at
tended by Rev. H. A. Clifford, the pastor
of that church.
