PISTOL ToTlNo eILL.

(The following is a letter taken from
the Jackson Daily News.)
1t is interesting to notice how
the proposition to. abolish the pis-
tol strikes different minds. The
majority of thinking men at once
consent to it, perceiving that
there is no need nor proper use
for a pistol in the present stage
of our civilization, and that the
pistol is so largely an instrument
of evil and does so little good that
it ought no longer to be tolerated
among us. Others, comparative.
ly few, hesitate in the semi-super
stitious and more or less heredi-
tary idea of personal safety and
defense as associated with hav-
ing and carrying pistol. The
alternative of kill; or be killed,
does not occur in the lifetime of
one in a thousand, and if pistols
were abolished, would not arise
in the lifetime of one in ten
thousand.
The pistol is at once the instru-
ment and the occasion, the sine
qua non of the great majority of
murders and homicides which are
committed among us. The pistol
puts good men at the mercy of

The bill of Repre- sentative Quir

place the selection of Chancellors

but little to commend it to the

The legislature should submit a n

man carries a pistol he thereby |
furnishes his enemy an excuse |
for killing him aud a defense for
the act. The fairminded man
has no chance with a pistol in
conflict with the ruffian and the
|scoundrel.
Pistols are cowardly weapons:
Otherwise men would carry them
unconcealed, as the law requires.
That they are not necessary for
self de Tense is proven by the
fact that the man who never car
ries pistol is much less, apt to
be killed by one than the man
who habitually carries one. Pis-
tolls are the devils own, made
for hiding and murder.
The sneaking thing actually
has the effrontery to claim the
name of gun the honorable
weapon with which our fathers
rescued our country from savages
and wild beasts, the instrument
of the patriot, the emblem Of the
soldier and the defender Of lib
erty. The pistol deserves not
the name; it is rather an intern
al machine, fitted for and welded
to concealment and murder. Let
it never be honored with the
name of gun.
But, says an honorable citizen,
because some make bad use of
pistols, shall l therefore be de-
prived of my revolver that lies
at my home to be used only in
defense of myself and my family =?
In the first place, friend, a good
shotgun would doubtless serve
your purpose better: but, in any
case, while your pistol lies in
nocently at home a thousand
others in the hand of ruffians,
hot headed boys and ignorant and
vicious negroes are spreading
death and destruction far and
wide over our land. Brother, if
you are patriot, bring forth
your innocent pistol and sacrifice
it on the altar of your country's
welfare, that with it a hundred
thousand other such engines of
death may be driven from our
land.
A bill is now before the legis-
lature proposing to put the pistol
out of the state, even as we have
banished the wiliskey traffic, and
we have now an opportunity of
putting Mississippi among the
first states, Alabama having al
ready passed a similar law, to
suppress a widespread and un-
mitigated evil which disgraces
the state and the nation.
If we look for the good pistols
have done, history fails to show
it; if for the evil, the world is fnll
of it, in high places and in low.
Three presidents of the United
States have been slain with pis-
tolls. And will we continue to
tolerate the murderous thing?
May God forbid it.

ASK NOT FOR BEER

In the Land of Beer certain surprises
await you, IL you have lived in antici-
patton of the foaming brew. The Ger
man likes his beer, as the world has
been taught to believe, but whether he
likes or dislikes 1t, the fact remains
that he cannot get 1t In the fashionable
restaurants Of Berlin. If you go to so
fine hotel as the Bristol. and there
order beer with your meal, it may be
that the maitre dhotel, purely from
the goodness of his heart, will send out
and get it for you, in which case it Will
be brought to you in beautiful little
stone Jug and you will pay for 1t five
times over, but Il you have the temer-
'ity to order your favorite brew at such
a restaurant as Killers, in Unter den
Linden, or Der Reichshoff, in the Will
helmstrasse, you. will come such crop
per as did the American who asked for
plum pudding at the Cafe Richie in
Paris
Monsieur" said the stately maitre
d'hotel on that occasion, "this cafe has
never served. does not serve and never
will serve plum puddingl'
Not quite SO bad as that In Berlin,
for If you are willing to first order a
bottle of wine, which you may drink,
or give to the waiter, or pur in your
pocket, as you please, you will then be
graciously permitted to drink as much
beer as you have taste for. IL you
are a teetotaler, or won't order wine.
then you can get neither food nor beer.
and may the devil take YOU for
troubling them. For this the Berliner
has to thank the wine trust, which
controls the fashionable establish
ments of the city and has led to the
significant division of all restaurants
into two classes-the wine resfau-
rants" and the beer restaurants.'

AS the result of i'll feeling over the

Forbes, employed on a threshing ma
chine on the Bernard ranch, three
miles west of San Fernando. was shot
and perhaps fatally wounded by
George Bradovitch, a young ranch en-
ploye working in the same gang. The
bullet fired from a revolver at close
range, struck Forbes in the left breast
and ranged downward, penetrating the
left lung.
The wounded man was buried
aboard an inbound Southern PACING
train, and, accompanied by brother
of the man charged with the shooting
arrived at River station, where an am
bulance in waiting too him to the
county hospital, which was reached
shortly before noon.
with his shirt soaked with blood and
weak from the shock, the WOUNDED
man sat up from the time OF boarding
the train at San Fernando until ne ar
rived at the hospital.
Forbes was not too weak TO tax ana

trouble. He declared that Bradovitch
was comparative stranger to him
and that they worked together on the

ranch. After they had finished their
duties Friday afternoon they engaged
in friendly wrestling match, which
resulted in Bradovitch getting the
losers end OF the contest. This, ac-
cording to Forbes, seems to have an

to fight He was accommodated and Is
said to have Jared no better than in
the wrestling bout.

and the fight" said Forbes, land this
seemed to make him angry. / thought
no more about the matter until he
jerked out a revolver and fired point
blank at me. l felt a sting in my
chest, and tried to catch him as he ran,
but he was too fast for me and made
his escape"
Steve Bradovitch, a brother of the
man who did the shooting, who accom-
panied Forbes to River station, and
the only one of the ranch hands. to
bring the wounded man into Los An
geles, gave his version of the AFFAIR
my brother was severely beaten by
Forbes, who is much larger and older
than my brother. I saw the shooting
and don't blame my brother one bit
for shooting the man who treated him
as Forbes did. / am not familiar with
the law, but believe that he was justi-
fed in the shooting.
although my brother ran away af-
ter the shooting he told me he would
give himself up to the officers at San
Fernando, and believe he will do so."
The sheriff's office was notified of
the shooting Immediately after it oc-
CURED, but no officers were sent from
here, as Under Sheriff Dishman was
told that there were a number of dep
uties on the trail of the man charged
with the shooting.
Bradovitch was arrested late yester-
day evening when he returned to the
ranch house. He was brought to this
city and locked up in the county Jail.
Physicians at the county hospital say
Forbes is in critical condition, but
has chance for recovery.
