Burns at Yuma and was taken before Judge Street for sentence in the forenoon, The Judge placed sentence at life imprisonment, and Alexander was led out of the Court House on his journey to Prison Hill, where the ‘Territorial penitentiary is located. The route leads through sage brash and mesquite, which grows heavily. As the officers were walking slowly with the prisoner a rifle report was heard and a_ bullet struck Alexander, mortaHy wounding him. He feli.at the feet of the officers, without uttering a word. Sam King, a brother of Mrs Burns, the woman mutdered by Alexander, was arrested on suspicion. The King brothers have taken 4n active partin meting out justice to Alexander, Fain and Miller, who are charged with the killing of Mrs. Burus. When Fain attempted to escape, Sam and Frank King took the trail after him, and when they were close upon Fain, he made hie way back to Yuma and gave himself up. The Kings hold Fain and Miller responsible for the killing, although the shot was fired by Alexander, Mystery surrounds-the whole affair. and the person who fired the shct probably will never be known. Frank M. King is a well-known ‘cattleman of Tucson. The King family has: a record for nerve and not one member of the family has died from natural causes, The crime for which Alexander was sentenced to serve life imprisonment was one of the most bloodthirsty ever committed in the Territory. He went to the ranch of Burns, south of Yuma, to serve papers ousting the Burns family from the land which they had cultivated and . insisted upon holding. Alexander was a constable at Yuma at that time. He was accompanied tothe ranch by Miller and Fain, who were interested in gaining possession of the land. The two men remained in a wagon on the road while Alexander went to the house. The officer found that Burns was away, but Mra. Burns and her children were in the field close by: Alexander approached her and a quarrel foliowed. Alexander raised his shotgun and fired, the charge entering the woman’s body, killing her instantly. A peculiar feature of the case was the interest taken in Alexander by two school teachers of Yuma, who persisted in sending him roses and were active in raising money to aid him. The young women were in~ fatuated with Alexander. Medal Contest Postponed. The Demorest medal contest which was.to have been held in this city next Tuesday, under the auspices of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, has been postponed on account of the sickness of some of the contestants.

Y.,” said a man who spent some time there, “isn’t much of a place, but there is something interesting about it that I fancy all the world doesn’t know. The present name is not the one it has always borne, and what its other name was I don’t know. Whatever it was the people did not like it and concluded they would change it. There was no particular geason why they should call it Red Rock, but that was determined upon, and so Red Rock it became. “Then in the course of time strangers of an inquiring turn of mind began to ask why the place had such a name, and as no reason could be given newcomers to the neighborhood began to want a name that meant something. ‘This insistence grew so strong that the old residents began to look around for a reason for the name of their place, and at last they found a huge bowlder near by which they said was what had suggested the name. But the bowlder was gray instead of red, and the progressists insisted that that would not do. . At last the’ old timers hit upon a new plan, and, procuring a barrel of red paint, they painted the big rock red. Red Rock indeed it was now, and not only was all opposition to the name overcome, but the painting of the rock every spring has become an annual festival, and the people celebrate it with a big picnic and general celebration. “It was a new idea to me, and if there is ‘any other town anywhere on earth that is christened every spring with red paint or any other color I don’t know where it is.’—New York Sun. : Cock Shvoting In Tall Corn, Cock shooting in tall corn is as easy to the expert as it is puzzling to the noyice.: You will, of course, work with the rows, not across them, and if you are wise you will shoot at every glimpse of a bird and very frequently after an instant’s sight of him, when you can only guess where he is. Sharp work, say ye, my mastérs. Yes, in a measure, but not so wonderful after all. You certainly must be ever ready and swift and smooth in action, but actual sight of the bird at the instant of pulling trigger is not necessary. Green cv. won't stop even fine shot, and your charge will give a pattern as big as a bushel basket, hence the shaking of a leaf, the flick of a vanishing wing, are enough for the master of the art. In an Instant his gun is on the spot where a species of lightning calculation tells him the bird should be, and the trigger is pressed without the slightest delay. The difficulty with the novice is to get him to shodt at once instead of waiting in vain for a clear view. Experts kill bird after bird in this way. The novice must dismiss all thoughts of empty shells. No good sportsman worries over misses, though he will learn from failures how to hold next time. There is no royal road to success in the field. Nothing but experience really counts. So let the nov ice crack away, although he may only get one bird in ten. We all know what he’ll get if he doesn’t shoot at all.— Outing.

Burns at Yuma and was taken before Judge Street for sentence in the forenoon, The Judge placed sentence at life imprisonment, and Alexander was led out of the Court House on his journey to Prison Hill, where the ‘Territorial penitentiary is located. The route leads through sage brash and mesquite, which grows heavily. As the officers were walking slowly with the prisoner a rifle report was heard and a_ bullet struck Alexander, mortaHy wounding him. He feli.at the feet of the officers, without uttering a word. Sam King, a brother of Mrs Burns, the woman mutdered by Alexander, was arrested on suspicion. The King brothers have taken 4n active partin meting out justice to Alexander, Fain and Miller, who are charged with the killing of Mrs. Burus. When Fain attempted to escape, Sam and Frank King took the trail after him, and when they were close upon Fain, he made hie way back to Yuma and gave himself up. The Kings hold Fain and Miller responsible for the killing, although the shot was fired by Alexander, Mystery surrounds-the whole affair. and the person who fired the shct probably will never be known. Frank M. King is a well-known ‘cattleman of Tucson. The King family has: a record for nerve and not one member of the family has died from natural causes, The crime for which Alexander was sentenced to serve life imprisonment was one of the most bloodthirsty ever committed in the Territory. He went to the ranch of Burns, south of Yuma, to serve papers ousting the Burns family from the land which they had cultivated and . insisted upon holding. Alexander was a constable at Yuma at that time. He was accompanied tothe ranch by Miller and Fain, who were interested in gaining possession of the land. The two men remained in a wagon on the road while Alexander went to the house. The officer found that Burns was away, but Mra. Burns and her children were in the field close by: Alexander approached her and a quarrel foliowed. Alexander raised his shotgun and fired, the charge entering the woman’s body, killing her instantly. A peculiar feature of the case was the interest taken in Alexander by two school teachers of Yuma, who persisted in sending him roses and were active in raising money to aid him. The young women were in~ fatuated with Alexander. Medal Contest Postponed. The Demorest medal contest which was.to have been held in this city next Tuesday, under the auspices of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, has been postponed on account of the sickness of some of the contestants.

Y.,” said a man who spent some time there, “isn’t much of a place, but there is something interesting about it that I fancy all the world doesn’t know. The present name is not the one it has always borne, and what its other name was I don’t know. Whatever it was the people did not like it and concluded they would change it. There was no particular geason why they should call it Red Rock, but that was determined upon, and so Red Rock it became. “Then in the course of time strangers of an inquiring turn of mind began to ask why the place had such a name, and as no reason could be given newcomers to the neighborhood began to want a name that meant something. ‘This insistence grew so strong that the old residents began to look around for a reason for the name of their place, and at last they found a huge bowlder near by which they said was what had suggested the name. But the bowlder was gray instead of red, and the progressists insisted that that would not do. . At last the’ old timers hit upon a new plan, and, procuring a barrel of red paint, they painted the big rock red. Red Rock indeed it was now, and not only was all opposition to the name overcome, but the painting of the rock every spring has become an annual festival, and the people celebrate it with a big picnic and general celebration. “It was a new idea to me, and if there is ‘any other town anywhere on earth that is christened every spring with red paint or any other color I don’t know where it is.’—New York Sun. : Cock Shvoting In Tall Corn, Cock shooting in tall corn is as easy to the expert as it is puzzling to the noyice.: You will, of course, work with the rows, not across them, and if you are wise you will shoot at every glimpse of a bird and very frequently after an instant’s sight of him, when you can only guess where he is. Sharp work, say ye, my mastérs. Yes, in a measure, but not so wonderful after all. You certainly must be ever ready and swift and smooth in action, but actual sight of the bird at the instant of pulling trigger is not necessary. Green cv. won't stop even fine shot, and your charge will give a pattern as big as a bushel basket, hence the shaking of a leaf, the flick of a vanishing wing, are enough for the master of the art. In an Instant his gun is on the spot where a species of lightning calculation tells him the bird should be, and the trigger is pressed without the slightest delay. The difficulty with the novice is to get him to shodt at once instead of waiting in vain for a clear view. Experts kill bird after bird in this way. The novice must dismiss all thoughts of empty shells. No good sportsman worries over misses, though he will learn from failures how to hold next time. There is no royal road to success in the field. Nothing but experience really counts. So let the nov ice crack away, although he may only get one bird in ten. We all know what he’ll get if he doesn’t shoot at all.— Outing.
