FLORENCE, Ariz., July 19.- The
 Blade-Tribune says: H. G. Kane, a stranger from Los Angeles, was shot and killed last week by Mrs. Julia
 Elliott, who, with her husband, lives on a homestead on Mineral creek about miles from Ray.
 At the inquest, held at Ray, the
 evidence was that Mrs. Elliott had just returned to her house, and
 found a man there eating cucumbers,
 which lie had gotten at the house.
 Mrs. Elliott took the man to task for intruding on the premises and a
 quarrel ensued. The Elliotts have
 a vicious dog which was snapping at
 the heels of Kane. This dog and an oher dog got into a fight and when
 Mrs Elliott undertook to separate them the man grabbed the rifle she carried, but in the scuffle for posses ion for the gun it was discharged and Mrs. Elliott was thrown down into a ditch. When she got up and started into the house Kane threw not to go into the house or he would kill her. The dogs were still fight ing about his heels and in a moment when he had taken his eyes off her, Mrs. Elliott darted into the house and grabbed a shotgun that stood behind the door. She then hunted for two cartridges that she knew to be in the house. These were finally found but she had some trouble in fitting them into the gun. In the meantime Kane appeared at the back door of the room she was in and saw that she was trying to load the shot gun. He stepped into the room and leveling the rife at her pulled the trigger, but the blank cartridge which had been exploded in the scuffle previously, only snapped. By his time Mrs. Elliott had gotten the in the shotgun and Kane lad stepped outside.

AFTER SIX MONTHS MURDERER APPEALS
 T0SUPREME COURT
Lawyers For ViIIaIobos, the Mexican Murderer Captured in Clifton Raise Freak Law Points to Save Condemned Man.

PHOENIX, July 20.-Six months
 after he was originally sentenced to hang for the murder of Deputy Sher
 if Phin Brown in Devils Canyon
 near Ray, Ramon Villa1obos, one o1
 the five men under sentence to be
 hanged two weeks from today al
 the Florence prison, appealed to the Esupreme court last evening for a new trial.
 Whether Villalobo's appeal at this
 late hour will act as a stay of execu-
 tion is question. Attorney General i Wiley Jones late today or tomorrow will file motion in the supreme curt I to dismiss the appeal.
 | Two members of the supreme court ID. L. Cunningham and H. D. Ross are away on vacations until Septem- Der, so the court will not be in posi- tion, it is said, to act on the Villa lobos matter until after the date of the executions, July 30.
 This is the first matter of its kind to come up regarding an execution. At torney General Jones stated today that he would hand down an opinion shortly on the matter of whether such action can act as stay of execution.
 The attorney general says that Judge O. J Baughn of he superior court of Pinal county has acted en- ttirely without jurisdiction in the Will
 obos case in granting an extension 'of time in which to file the appeal. It is understood the appeal should have been made within sixty days after the nan was originally sentenced last October.
 The Villalobos case had it's begin ming a year ago next month, when and Pete Smith stole a horse at Ray. Deputy Sheriff Phin Brown and William Langtry, a boy, went in pursuit, and Brown was slain by Villalobos hiding behind a big boulder.
 Langtry fled up Devils canyon, and the two, having taken possession of the dead deputy,'s horse%pursued him, overriding him and shooting him. Two other boys, Frank Bacon and their way to a swimming hole, were then slain by Villalobos and Smith.
 A posse was formed and Smith was killed, Villalobos escaping with wounded leg and being captured sev- eral weeks later in Clifton.
 On Oct. 24, 1914, Villalobos was sen fenced by Judge J. E. O'Connor of Pinal county to hang on Jan. s, 1915. Warden R. B. Sims of the state prison refused to carry out the execution on the ground that the new pardon board had not organized up to that time.
 Judge Baughn followed Judge O'Connor on the Pinal bench and on May 27, 1915, two days before Villa lobos was to hang with the other four Mexicans on May 29, Attorneys G. M Allen and Stephen H. Abbey of Flor ence gave notice of appeal, on the ground that Villalobos had never be- fore been told by his former counsel of his constitutional or statutory rights of an appeal.
 Judge Baughn gave the lawyers un- til yesterday to perfect their appeal. Fourteen errors are cited in the ap- peal for a new trial.
 The Florence attorneys say the law provides that an appeal may be dis missed" if not made within the time and that it does not say shall be dismissed" If the conten- ton of the Florence attorneys stands there is no time limit in which ap- peals can be made for new trials.

M DOING POLICE DUTY
Take the Places Of Berlin Night
Watchmen Who Are Serving
Country at the Front.

Berlin, before the outbreak of the
war, employed a force Of men whose
duty it was to patrol the less lively
streets of the city at night to keep
the peace. Men of good physique and
tried integrity were selected for these
positions. Each man learned his terri
tory and knew the people of his
streets. He was given q bunch of
keys, a revolver and a sword. With
the keys he was enabled to enter any
house where he might suspect a rob-
berry to be taking place. and some
times 1t became his duty to accommo-
date those belated wanderers who for
get and lose their keys. The revolver
and the sword, worn with the consent
of the police, were seldom called into
use.
Since the beginning Of the war these
night watchmen are women The men
who onc filed the places are now
serving their colors at the front. In
most cases women whose husbands
have been called to perform their mill
tary duties are selected.

In the very field Of the artillery,
peasants were calmly blowing with
