senate would proceed with it's business

BULLET IN BRAIN ENDS HE|SLER'S
 LIFE
His Labors for the Night Are Ended.

PRESCOTT-Night Officer George T. Heisler took his life Feb 22 at about 6:3O o'clock, at his home in the southern part of the city, using a Colts 45-Calibre revolver and send ing a bullet through his head. An nouncement of his death spread through the city immediately, and friends and acquaintances. His tragic end came without the slight est intimation that he contemplated self destruction, and occurred with in five minutes after he entered the house with a coolness and concern that shocked his wife and daughters who were present. He had conclud- ed his duty for the night as a po- lice officer, and after entering the room took off his overcoat and handed it to his wife, remarking as he did so, Well, Goodbye"
 He stepped toward the kitchen and placing his gun with his left hand by the side of his ear fired the fatal shot, He was dead in an in- stant, although his wife was at his side as he was falling to the floor Leading up to this sad occurrence the reason is attributed to injuries sustained as long ago as in 1885, when he was one of the employees of the Wilson saw mill on Lynx creek, when that plant blew up, in which accident the deceased was the only one of seven that escaped being killed. He was hurled in the air several feet and alighted in the saw dust pit, with injuries to his head from the terrific explosion. From that day to the present he has suff- cred at frequent intervals from at tacks of epilepsy, and often com plained, of his mental facilities be- ing affected.

HEAVIEST SNOW
 STORM IN YEARS.

PRESCOTT, Feb. 25.-The deepest snow that has fallen in this section in the past quarter of a century is the result of the recent storm, and so far as measurements taken on the court house plaza during yes terday at different points would in dicate there was an average of at least. twentytwo inches on the level. The downfall continued without ces- sation all of Friday night and not until late yesterday afternoon was there the slightest abatement. The severity of the present storm brought to memory early day doings in the climatic line, and it would seem as if conditions of other days are re- turning and that old time records for winter snow falls are again in evidence

PIRATE IN LEAvENWORTH.
 PRISON
Only Man in America Ever Officially
 Convicted on this Charge.

The only pirate of the country is in the federal penitentiary of Leaven- worth. He is the only man ever officially charged with and convict ed of piracy upon the high seas within the life of the present gener- ation. He is serving life sentence for that crime
 Joseph Kirwin is the ex-pirate's s name, and his is one of the strang- est cases that ever came within the jurisdiction of the United States authorities.
 Kirwin had a lust for choking wo- men to death. That strange mania was born in him. When he was a boy he tried to strangle a girl. When he grew to manhood a woman was found dead in Cleveland, Ohio, with the purple marks of a mans fng- CTS on her throat. Kirwin was sus- but escaped conviction.
 Later on steamboat on the Great Lakes, Kirwin crept stealth fly into the berth of a sleeping wo- man and his fingers clutched her throat When he left her he fan cied he had strangled her to death.
 Kirwin not only is the only pirate of the high seas, but also the only professional strangler in this coun- try.
