Killing at Blackberry.

Last Saturday morning George Fea- gles shot and instantly killed Mexi- can by the name of Guadaloupe Zam- maron. The night before the Mexican came into the place where Feagles was sleeping and bothered him with a drunken argument with another Mexi- can, and the next morning the two men had a fstic encounter that amounted to nothing. A short time after the men had separated the Mexi- can went to his camp near the sheep pens and Feagles took rifle and fol- lowed after. When Feagles neared the camp he accosted the Mexican, asking him if he was the man who was hunting him. The Mexican said no and then Feagles threw a cartridge into his gun and began firing. As he raised his gun the Mexican grabbed a shotgun that was lying nearby and raised it, but the first shot from Fea- gles gun struck him in the shoulder and he dropped the weapon. Feagles fired two more shots, one striking the man in the leg and the other apparent ly passing through the heart. A coroner's jury returned verdict ac- cording to the above facts, but fixed no Feagles was indicted by the grand jury Tuesday last, but the indictment was quashed on the grounds of informality.

A Snake Story that
 Should Take the Prize.

From Topock, at the east end of the Colorado river bridge, in this county, comes one of the most remarkable snake stories that we have ever heard. The story is vouched for by James w. Quinn, and as the victim of the snake is in the hospital at Needles suffering from a bite of the snake and fright, there i, every reason to believe that Mr. Quinn is telling the exact truth.
 Recently there was born to Mexi- can family at Topock baby girl. The child thrived nicely until about three weeks ago. when it commenced to fade away The mother was unable to account for the condition of the child and was greatly worried. Last Sunday night she was awakened by a sharp pain in her breast and light being struck it was found that a great bull snake was sucking her and when she accidently rolled over on it the reptile bit her. Greatly frightened over the oiVO ot uuC ohdhO oAO was uuFFl6u UO Needles. where the physician found that the bite was not serious. An ex- animation of the child disclosed the fact that it was in a starving condition, the snake evidently securing all the woman's milk during many nights be. fore it's discovery. The Mexican track workers live in tie houses and sleep on pallets on the floor. It is reported by the track foreman at Topock that the snakes are so plentiful that it is impos- sible to keep them out of the houses, and has asked the company to be allow ed to build floors and screen the places so that the people may be protected against the reptiles. It is thought that the snake had been in the habit of crawling under the covers of the woman's bed to get out of the chill of the night and had been attracted by the smell of the milk while the child was nursing. That such thing could occur really passes belief, but never- theless the woman and child are at the hospital, where any one who doubts the story may interview the mother.

Last Tuesday, at San Francisco, Mrs, Howard w. Kemper passed away, her death resulting from an operation per- formed some time last week.

By the death of husband and wife two little children are left orphans and the brothers and sisters are bowed down in grief.
 Mrs. Kemper was reared in this county, coming to Mineral Park when but child. She was welded to Howard Kemper about ten years ago and took up her residence in King man. She was a most amiable woman and her death will be sadly felt in the community. The funeral will be held In San Francisco today

Mohave County Courthouse.

Supervisor Potts yesterday morning received wire from Senator Henry Lovln informing him that the court house bill had passed the house, the bill having heretofore passed the senate with practically no objection. The bill provides for the calling of an election of the taxpayers of the county to vote bonds in the sum of SO,000S for a courthouse to be erected on lands al- ready owned by the county. It is understood that Gov. Hunt will sign the bill.
 Mohave county is badly in need of courthouse, the grand juries for many sessions past recommending the erec- tion of a commodious building and condem ming the present structure. At the present time there is no safeguard ing of the records of the county, which records are among the most important of any county of the state. These records date from the organization of the county in the early sixties and are in perfect order. It would be great loss to the people to have these records destroyed, not only on account of the intrinsic loss but for the historical value that they represent.
 As soon as possible the people must get together and help the movement in every way that looks to the better. ment of county buildings and the building of new highways.

Democratic Primary Election.

On the 2Oth day of May the demo- crats of this county will hold primary election for the selection of delegate to the national convention to be held at Baltimore. So far only one candidate is in the field, E. F. Thompson, who was selected by the democrats of the county to stand as their candidate MT. Thompson will also have his name before the voters of Yavapai county, the two counties having been made in to one district. While it Is proba ble that more than one candidate will be before the voters, yet Mr. Thompson is the logical candidate of the party and should receive the full vote of the democratic voters of this county. He is identified with many of the most i'm. portant undertakings of the county and is one of the most public spirited men of Kingman. That he will receive big vote in Yavapai county, where all the old timers know him, goes with out saying, and that he is sure of elec- tion is the belief of all his friends.
 Tickets will soon be sent to the vot- CTS that they may familarize them selves with the method of voting at the primary.

No Election This Year.

The State senate killed the bill pro- viding for an election next fall, and unless there be an extra session called there will be no election, of course provided the courts hold that no :elec- tion is necessary under the constitu. tiOn. Of course there will be a presl- dential election, but unless there is a state election as we'll there will be no legislature next year, nor will we have a representative in congress after the 4th of next March.

A. s. Fox, who is at the head of the Redlands company, that is sinking the well near Wallapai, was in Kingman this week. He reports that the we'll had reached depth of 400 feet. but that so far there was no indication of water, although the drill was then in washed gravel, which in California was an indication of the near approach to artesian flow. The casing is being kept we'll down, so that there will be no possibility of a cave. Mir. Gates is looking to the encountering of water at any moment, although it is possible that distance of more than one thou. sand feet will have to be drilled before a flow is obtained
 The Odd Fellows Building Associa- tion Monday last made survey of the grounds of the company and prepared for the commencement of work on the new building. Carpenters are now at work getting the forms ready for the concrete work on the foundation and within the next ten days the foundation will be ready to receive the walls. The building is to be reinforce ed concrete, two stories in night. When completed it will be one of the finest buildings in the town and a credit to the order. N. F. Marsh de- designed the building, which is sure to be credit to his architectural ability.

IN SPEECH IN BOSTON TODAY TO
MASSACHUSETT GENER Al
COURT GIVES APPROVAL.
AGAINST JUDICIAL RECALL
Keystone of Government-Admits
Necessity of judicial Reform, How
ever.

Boston, Mass. March lS.--Presdent
Taft in addressing the Massachusetts
general court today declared for the
presidential preferential primaries.
He said:
Wherever fair notice can be Civ
en- and adequate safeguards protect
and state institutions permit I favor
and welcome preferential primary.
"A primary outside of law, known
as the soap box primary, is worse
than none because it is an open av-
enue for fraud and violence.
We all concede the operation Of gov
ernment and elections is not perfect
and are somtimes subject to corrupt
! influence. But continued reiteration
of a proposition to let the people rule
if it has a significance otherwise than
to flatter people, is intended as re-
Election upon the government we have
had down to the present. Despite
all corruption, the history OF the last
1856 years will show that the people
have ruled"
Taft said the judicial recall would
take away the keystone of the govern
ment. I'm not unmindful of the ne
cessity of judicial reform" he said,
"but that depends not upon changing
the character of judges, but upon a
change of procedure-the expedition
of judgments and reduction of the eX
pense of litigation.
