Douglas Pistol Duel.

On last Saturday night pistol duel fought in the Grove saloon on G avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh street resulted in the seriously, and possibly, the fatally wounding of both participants, Williams, the proprietor of the saloon, and night officer Ben Russell of the police department.
 The trouble between the two is said to have started early in the evening when Russell entered the Grove and accused Williams of having served drinks in his place to women. An altercation,followe and Russell left.
 Later Russell returned to the Grove saloon and the altercation was re- sumed and waxed hotter than ever. Soon guns were drawn and both shot. Williams was shot through the breast and Russell in the lower part of the abdomen. Both are pronounced ser iously and possibly fatally injured as the result of the duel.
 Williams is we'll known in southern Arizona and has for several years conducted a saloon business in Doug- las. Russell is the only one of the night officers who remained after the recent shakeup. He has been on the force for nearly two years.-Douglas International.

Wells Fargo Quits Mexico.

The Wells-Fargo Express company which for nearly thirty years has been the most prominent "common carrier" in Mexico, has been excluded from the country, according to an ex- press company official.
 "Mexico for Mexicans,'' it is said, has brought about the present condi- tion. The transfer of the Wells-Fargo interests to the Mexican National Ex- press company, a government con- cern, took place September 1st.
 A. Christensen, vice president and general manager of the Wells-Fargo Express company, arrived in Fl Paso from Mexico City, with his secretary, E. E. Bryant and took the Southern Pacific train for San Francisco. MT. Christensen superintended the trans fer to the Mexican company.
 All the positions on the express cars and in express offices in the future will be given to Mexicans instead of Americans, who were chiefly employed by the Wells-Fargo people. Over two
 
 given to natives. It is the American express company's operating in Mexico, and these men, it is said, will be thrown out and the positions given to natives. It is the announced inten- tion of the Mexican government to gradually do away with Americans who hold positions under the Wells Fargo company.
 The new express company has a twenty year charter which, it is said, will be extended indefinitely. The taking away of the Wells-Fargo inter- ests was practically at the option of the government and the express con- pany had no appeal if they desired, it is said. The new company, accord ing to MT. Martin Davis, Fl Paso of the Wells-Fargo company, will work in conjunction with the old

Sure, What is the Use of Prohibition!

Mark Twain, the noted humorist, has the following to say concerning prohibitionists:
 1T am friend of temperance and I want it to succeed but I don't think prohibition is practical. The Ger mans you see prevent it. Look at them. They have just invented a method of making brandy out of saw dust. Now what chance can prohibit tion have when a man can take rip saw and go out and get drunk with a fence rail? What is the good of pro- hibition if a man is able to make brandy mashes out or the shingles ou his roof, or if he can get the delirium tremens by drinking the legs of the kitchen table?"-Ex.

Within a fortnight we have heard one

follows that the only safeguard that
