fight between the soldiers and police
on one side and the revolutionists on
the other at Puebla, are placed at ftom
100 to ITO. Dispatches from that city

We're slain in he conflict.
Aquites Cerdan, whose house was
the scene of the fight, was killed by
the soldiers, while resisting arrest in
the tunnel where he had taken refuge.
According to late advices the troops
We're in control of the situation. 1t Is
said that large number of factory
employees are still talking in a revolu-
tfonary vein, but there is no danger
of another outbreak.
The fighting was confined to the vi
entity of the Cerdan house, where a
large number of revolutionists had
gathered to discuss plans for an ur-
rising, scheduled for tomorrow, and
where large number of guns had
been concealed. The secreta service
men heard Of the meeting and the
authoritis ordered the police to break
1t up. Then the fight startd and calls
for troops wre made.
The fray lasted three hours, and
during that time a constant FIRE was
kept up. Many OF the soldiers went
TO the tops tho adjoining buildings
to pour stream of bullets into the
building.
notwithstanding the rumors. which
still arep revalent of the proposed
uprising against the government to-
morrow, the authorities appear to
feel no uneasiness.

death, and made over his whole for
tune, including his real and personal
estate, to his wife and children. In
| 1905 Tolstoi wrote a vindication OF
/, the Dukhober Sect, which during that
year had suffered great persecution
for it's religious professions. The
Russian censor refused publication,
but the London Times printed the ar
ticle He thereafter addressed his
literary efforts to the British press.
Tolstoi several times was threatened
with expulsion from Russia and was
several times on the point of being ex-
lied, but on the whole was treated
with unusual leniency. in view of his
strongly pronounced views, espe tally
his criticisms of imperial acts. He
was expelled from Moscow in 1901 and
had since resided at Yasna Poliana.
Or, Tolstoi's S0th birthday extensive
celebrations were held, although they
were strongly disapproved by the
Russian government and were made
the subject of an appeal by the holy
synod to all believers to abstain from
participation.
Several publishers of Tolstoi's
works have been sent to prison. The
writer addressed note to the court,
challenging prosecution of himself, in
stead of the publisher. The govern
ment took no notice of the challenge.
Although Tolstoi came of an aris-
tocratic family being descendant OF
Count Peter Tolstoi, a friend and
comrade of Peter the Great, he was a,
heart peasant in the best sense of
the word, devoted to the improve
ment of the Russian masses and was
eager to lead them in the right path.
With these objects in view, he or
ganized the peasant schools on new
basis, co-operated in the improvement
of the cheap, popular publicat ons, Or
ganized a relief for the starving pop
ulation in middle Russia, and vainly
invited the peasants to plumber his
estate at Yasnaya Poliana. There he
lived the life of a peasant in a hut,
partalling of simple food and wearing
a peasants costume. but his family
or upted substantial mansion on
the estate, near Tolstoi's hut
In the mansion was the authors IL
brary. and there he went whenever he
desired to dictate to his SECRETARY
after which he returned to his peas
ant occupations.
Tolstoi was a great reader and
among his recreations were chess, cy-
cling, tennis and swimming.

BOY KILLS HIS
BABY BROTHER
WITH A RIFLE
Another Instance of the Folly
of Allowing Children to
Handle firearms Comes
From Prescott.

One OF the most unfortunate and
deplorable accidents that has ever
taken place in Prescott happened
Monday night at o'clock when Thoe-
dore Tucker, a boy Of four and one
half years old met death at the
hands of his brother, Raymond, twelve
years old. The sad occurance took
place at the home of their parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. L. o. Tucker, on North
Virginia street.
Both boys were in the dining room
at the time. Raymond was cleaning
his gun. preparatory TO putting il
away. and in SO doing took the pre-
caution to empty the magazine Of
all cartridges as he believed. He
repeatedly shook the shells out Of the
empty chamber, and believed that they
were all on the floor. Closing the
breach plate. he laid the weapon on
the table and an explosion took place
instantly. His brother was standing
on the opposite side intenely looking
at the gun and in range Of the bullet
that left the barrel. II pierced his
left breast. high up and passed
through his little body, coming out on
the right side. low down, lodging in
the door, a few feet away He imme-
diately and with the instinct Of a
child. rushed toward his mother. a
short distance away and informed her
that he was shot From that moment
he never uttered a word. and passed
away about one hour afterward.
From the nature OF the wound, It
is believed that his yertebrae waa pen
etrated as he lay motionless and IN
til the end came.
The cartridge was a % calibre. of
the largest size while the gun was
the ordinary sporting rifle.
What led TO the discharge is prob.
lematical. Mr.. Tucker believing that
the shot was fired through a sudden
jar. or else the hammer was not low

DEMOCRATS IN NORTH

Word comes TO Douglas from Will

cincts included in that end Of the
county, including San Simon, Bowie,
Dos Cabezas, Wilcox, Pearce. Court
land. GIeeson and Cochise. The IN
creased political activity is caused
by the approaching county conven-
ton called to name democratic can

ton. One constitutional delegate has
been appointed to these small pre-
cincts by the county committee and
there are said to be many aspirants
for the honor scattered among the
several precincts.
Charles Roberts OF WILCOX, Judge
Page, OF Wilcox; William Riggs. Of
Dos Cabezas; Capt. Kelton. of Kelton,
and c. NJ. Mexican OF CORTLAND. are
all being considered by their friends
as being available for the honor.
