PARK

That the female of the species is
more deadly than the male was shown
last night in Lincoln park, when two
native girls became angry in talking
about the young man of their affec-
tions and proceeded to try to do up
each other. The three were sitting
on one of the benches having a
pleasant tete-a-tete when discussion
arose over the man. One girl reach
ed for the others hair and tried to
see how much of it was false. The
other resented this action and plant
ed a swift blow in the anatomy of
the invader. Before the cause of the
disturbance realized what was hap
pening the girls were at each other
like pair of wildcats, biting, scratch
ing, pulling hair and landing good,
healthy punches where the most dam
age could be done.
The noise of the conflict attracted
several other couples from various
shady corners of the park and a good
sized crowd gathered before the COM

A Pitched Battle

Miami, Ariz., Aug. 20.-The fight
between Mexican horse thieves and a
posse of Americans, which began
near Ray yesterday, became battle
at Devils canyon today, when the fight
ing was re-opened and another Am
eIlcan was added to the four slain
yesterday. Twelve Mexicans. it was
reported, also were killed.
A force composed of citizens of
Ray, mining town, was preparing
late today to assault a house in the
canyon, where the cornered bandits
had takens refuge. The Americans
dead are Deputy Sheriff Finn Brown

BADLY WANTED negro
IS ARRESTED HERE
WILLIAM HENDERSON DECLARES
HE SHOT IN SELF
DEFENSE

Late yesterday afternoon William
Henderson, a negro mule driver in
the mines at Koehler, and who is
wanted by the sheriff of Colfax coun-
ty for the shooting of another negro,
Henry Phillips, also a miner, last Sat
urday night in an alteration that
seems to have arisen during crap
game at the camp, was taken from
Santa Fe freight train here by
Special Officer H. C. Brooks,
Henderson tells plausible story.
When seen last night by a representa-
tive of The Optic he denied that he
was the aggressor and made out a
strong case of self defense. He
claims that Phillips owed him $3.50,
debt contracted partly for board
and partly for supplies that he, Hen
derson, bought for Phillips to start
batching with, and which Phillips
promised. to settle on pay day. When
he asked for an accounting on Satur-
day, as they came out of the mine
and received their pay envelopes,
Phillips, he says, with many vile
oaths, said he would see him dead
and -Raton-before he would pay
up According to Henderson this end
ed the matter so far as he was con-
cerned, but a little later in the even
ing, only 2:30 o'clock, in fact. while
he was telling his neighbors about it,
Phillips came to the house where the
gossip was going on and started to
abuse him, finally drawing a knife,
repeating his choice phrase about see
ing him elsewhere rather than pay,
and lunging viciously. In warding off
the attack Henderson received a
slashing blow that completely severed
the cartilage of the right nostril.
While he was washing the blood from
his face he says Phillips again as
saulted him, when he reached through
an open doorway for a gun he knew
to be handy, shot his man twice, and
fled.
A few questions elected the facts
that both men had been in a crap
game most of the evening; that there
was to be a dance among the negroes
when the evening got thoroughly mel
low; that an ample supply of beer
had been brought into the camp to
add to the gaiety of the occasion, and
that both of them were given to bibu-
lous habits.
Sheriff Hixenbaugh of Colfax coun-
ty came in today for the prisoner,
who will be held either for assault
with a deadly weapon or murder, ac-
cording to the outcome of Phillips

Former State Treasurer G. L. Bick-
ford must serve time in the penitenti-
airy for embezzlement, his sentence be-
ing from one to three years. The many
old time friends of Mr.. Bickford sin
cerely regret to learn that he must go
to prison and hope that some way will
yet be found whereby he may escape
this humiliation. Bickford undoubt-
eddy erred, but his friends assert that
he has paid for this in a hundred diff
ferent ways. He has lost his proper
ty, the state did not lose a cent, and
there is little to be gained in sending
him to prison. He has been working
for several years trying to accumulate
enough of the worlds goods that pow
erty may not stare him in the face
when old age advances, and besides,
there are others who are depending
upon him who are to be consider
ed. The Independent does not defend
anything of a wrong nature that Bick-
ford has done, but we voice the senti-
ment of thousands when we say that
he should not serve time He has al
ready received his punishment.

to date he has done so. If the I. w

have themselves as we'll as possible
under the circumstances, and not try
to speak, either on Main street OF

Tested. If, however, they attempt to

The assessors are bringing in their
registration books to the auditors Of
flee. From these records we learn
that there appear to be about three
times as many republican voters as
democrats, while but very few pro-
gressive voters have registered in any
of the townships. In some townships,
the Socialists show up quite strong.
The progressives claim that while but
few have registered for the primaries,
they will show up strong in the fall
election, as many of the members Of
the party registered as republicans in
order to have something to say in the
primaries. In fact, it is even suspect
ed that a good many democrats reg
istered as republicans in order to as
sist in nominating the weaker candi-
didates, thus giving the democratic
candidates better chance in the fall
election. Quite clever.
