Shooting, Barricades Himself and Defies Ar rest The Electric Shock Idea May Result in Subduing Murderer.

liloomington, Oct. 28. Mayor Charles Nickel, of Chenoa, was shot and killed today in the hank of Che noa, aud Hugh Jones, a bricklayer, was probably fatally wounded, and two passersby were shot and slightly- wounded by William Leduc, a farmer. The fate of Jcns is unknown, as Leduc, fter the shooting, dragged the body iuto the bank vault, closed the door and defied arrest. The shooting attracted a crowd, which attempted to arrest Leduc, but ho sought refuge in the vault with Jones, whom, he told the officers, was dead.

Leduc is well supplied with ammu nition. All attempts to reach him taut) far nave been unsuccessful. Higk power electric wires have been ru into the vault, and unless the murderer surrenders the current will all fee turned into the steel, which will reader him helpless.

Messrs. John W. Bogan, Lyman Wakefield, Charles Bent, A. J. Samp son, it.

K. Shelton of Tucson and oh McNamee of Bisbee, are the incor porators of a mining company which will develop the Iron and Iron Staff group of mines ten miles west of Tuc son. The company has already put a force of men t6 work running a tua- nel under tire great Iron and Copper Dyke, which stands so -prominent a these claims. These men have a reputation Tucson for having furnished so a quantity of iron for fluxing purpose for the Tucson and other smelters. The ore of the Burface all carries, more or less gold, silver and copper.

There are strong evidences of a large body of ore under this great iron capping. Here and there the rich, seams burst out which give very higk values. It is believed by these gentlemen who have recently examined the property that the New State Mining company prove one of the most successful m'ning properiies any-' where to be found. A mining man who has visited all of. the copper camps of Arizona and Montana says this group of mines has one of the most remarkable surface showings he has ever seen, and pr- diets that when five hundred teet of development work has been done that a copper bonanza will be developed, which will prove to be equal to anything in Southern Arizona, lov, he says, the stuff is there.

You can see it and feel it by looking at it. This is good news for Tucson. This property is in sight of Tucson and has been for several years looked upon as a great iron mountain which would furnish millions of tons of fluxing ores, for any smelter which might be erected iu this vicinity. But now the examination of experts says that the indications show that it is a great copper mine and will be the greatest surprise that Tucson has yet realized. It is right at our door, and all of the connected with ilie New State Copper Mining company are experienced, practical mining men.

and know a good thing when they see it, and enjoy the confidence of this community. Thus the predictions of the Star will be realized. We have been urging and urging the people of Tucson toj develop the treasures of the Tucsoy mountains because the wealthy jtt there, all that is necessary is topea it up and bring it to daylight. 1 The Star predicts that the capital of the New State Copper Mining company will have reached one dollar par within one year from date. Now, mark this prediction, touching Tucson treasures.

These were the Seniors.

Football is a favorite pastime at the. University, the institution boasts of two teams at present, the. Senior team, called the first, and the Junior team, called the second.

Wilson and George Cusenbury vs Arizona Prince Mining company et al, mining ejectments judgment for detendants This suit involved the old townaite of Ehrenberg, which was Claimed by Wilson as a homestead; the mining company located the same ground as a placer mining claim.

As a matter of fact gold can be found in the now deserted streets of the old town, but it is probably not native to the soil At one time in the long ago Ehrenberg was a red hot mining town and the principal up-river steamboat landing Miners and prospectors scattered their gold dust freely and much of it found lodgement in the dirt floors of the gambling houses and streets, which accounts for the precious metal being found on the townsite. The court de cided, however, that the mining claim was a legal one and found for the company. Rev.

Phone 191., The harsh criticims are often the richest jewels in the formation of day passes without the promulgation of Russia's new governmental system and the responsible ministerial cab Inet to bring order out of the present administrative chaos.

Count' Witte, to whom all the factions look to assume the premiership. as spent almost the entire time of the past two days at Peterhoff, wrestling with the Emperor, insisting upon conditions In connection with his appointment which His Majesty is unwilling to grant. Upon his return to St. Petersburg tonight Count Witte announced that the cabinet project, which has been lying unsigned for three days upon the Emperor's table, will not be promulgated tomorrow, intimating thereby that his program, which is known to include a species of constitution involving the granting of the "four liberties," to wit: freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom ofj press and freedom of person, has not been accepted. It is felt (here that delay can not long be protracted, and that ir is only a question of hours when the Emperor confides the fortunes of the dynasty and governmeut to Count Witte's hands.

Meanwhile the situation is passing from bad to worse, and with matters in their present state of unstable equilibrium, the chiefs of state are at a loss to know how to act and the revolutionists, encouraged by the inactivity of the government, are growing bolder and more insistent in their speeches. True, there has been no disorder in St. Petersburg and that General Tre poff has taken every measure to. put down an uprising of its Jncipietcy. but he has not felt sure enough of his position to act boldly with regard to the revolutionary meetings at the University, and has contented himself by issuing warnings, which have not been enforced, is taken by the agitators as evidence of lack of back bone.

Conditions in St. Petersburg at this time is that of one fairly under siege and one with surprises threatened from within, Is almost completely isolated and Its scanty stores of provisions are being rapidly exhausted. General Trepoff has ninety thousand troops under his command which are distributed in every section of the city. There is scarcely a block without military patrol. Infantry and cavalry are quartered in every courtyard all over the city.

Warsaw, Oct. 28. The streets are filled with patrols. It Is rumored the strikers are marching on the city from the provinces. Thirty thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry with ninety-eiit The situation in Moscow parallels that of St.

Petersburg. The same paralysis has siezed Russia's second city and the strike is general. The people are defying all prohibitions and are swarming to the Universities and other meeting places. A provisional government has already been organized and is awaiting to exercise its power. The University is barricaded against the troops.

The population of other towns is growing more violent and reports of disorders are arising rn large numbers in all sections and that the ef forts of the troops so far has been generally successful. There is no relation to the railroad strike which has spread even to central Asia, where the transCaspian lines are tied up. The strike on the trans-Siberian line is interfering with the return of the troops. Humors of mutiny aooard the ves sels of the Black Sea fleet are not confirmed. In spite of the fact that the revolu tionists have the government by the throat, persons well informed are of the opinion that the present condi tions can not long endure.

The Proletariat, they say, will be the first to feel the pangs of hunger. Lodz, Oct. 28. The town is threat ened with a famine. Coal is lacking and the streets are dark and deserted St.

Petersburg, Oct. 5. Telegraphic communication with Moscow has been resumed. Riga, Oct. 28.
