LIQUOR -CRAZrD MAN TAR<S LIBERTIES WITH rTTRNTTURg;
 DErTES KANGAROO COURT

Yesterday morning P. K. Hickey hur- ried into the court of Justice Johnstone and announced that his office was being wrecked by a man to whom he had not been formally introduced Constable Murray, who was in the court waiting for something like that to happen ac- companied Mr. Hickey to his place of business and found stranger sitting among a lot of debris he had created. He had smashed the glass front out of a couple of mineral cabinets and the floor was strewn with 1t. Everything else within big radius was disar- ranged. The man was too drunk to offer an explanation of his presence and his actions and he was taken to jail. He got more violent after he had been locked up and the kangaroo court took him in hand. He was given a cold bath, which he resented throughout and after it was over. The water had aroused his fighting blood. But it is the experience of all men who have ever tried it that it is worse than useless to oppose the kangaroo court. It's judg- ments are rapidly cumulative and no appeal has ever been successful. The experience of this stranger is added to the long and unbroken line of expert ences. The man withheld his name. He will be presented to Justice Johnstone this morning. Phoenix Republican.

STREET WOMAN

 The woman had been dead for some time when she was found by another resident of the street about O clock. Justice Ben Rice was summoned to the scene, where he immediately impaneled a jury to view the body and surround ings. After the autopsy is..conducted the jury will assemble to declare its verdict.
 Those who know the woman declare she had made numerous threats to end her life.

SPALD|NC & SON
 ARE D|SBARRED
BELIEVED THAT AGED MAN THREW HIMSELF IN FRONT OF
 TRAIN INTENDING SUICIDE

PRESCOTT, June S.-What is bo- lieved by the railroad officials and mem- bers of tho train service to have been a deliberate attempt at suicide, is the case of man named Ogden, struck by a freight train Tuesday. Ogden was ta- ken to Wickenburg in the caboose of the train after being injured, where he received medical attention. He was taken to the hospital in Phoenix yes terday, where he is now, with little hopes for recovery.
 Adding color to the suicide theory is the fact that he stated while being taken from the train at Wickenburg that he was tired of living and hoped that his injuries would prove fatal.
 Ogden was sighted by the engineer and fireman of tho approaching train walking along the track. The train was running about twenty miles an hour. He was walking north at a safe distance from the track, but as the train drew near he suddenly changed his course to. wards the track. He was struck by the engine beam behind the pilot and was thrown considerable distance from the track.
 The train was stopped and when the train crew reached Ogden he was lying helpless on the ground fro mthe shock. He was conscious and talked with the train crew while being carried to the caboose, telling them that he wanted to die.
 Ogden is stranger here and nothing was learned of his history. He appears to be nearly GO years of age.
