Prince laat night attempted to arrest
three men who were running amuck in
Prescott, when the trio palled guns and
commenced firing at him. He returned
the fire, shooting one Mexican through
the right thigh, shattering the bone
badly and cauaing a wound from which
the man will probably die. The -wounded
man fell on the sidewalk, but continued
shooting until he had emptied his pistol,
' and then attempted to reload. He had
a belt full of cartridges around his
waist. The other two succeeded in
getting away after emptying their guns
at Prince, 18 or 20 shots being fired in
all at the officer, but he escaped without
a scratch. Prince was smoking a cigar
when he attempted to make the arrest,
and continued smoking all through the
battle.

chase of the dynamite cruisers Nichthe

Harder of Chief Engineer Newell.
Ckipple Creek, Colo., Dec. 20. The
circumstances of the killing of Richard
Newell, jr., general superintendent and
chief engineer of the Midland Terminal
road, by A. W. Van Houten, a miner,
near Independence last night, are as fol
lows : The owners of the Black Wonder
mine could not agree with the railroad
as to the damages for the right of way.
Arbitration gave the mine $125. r Gas
Yoeman, one of the owners of the mine,
told the men living in a cabin on the
line of the road not to let the railroad
disturb them under any circumstances.
The railroad built a track with a sharp
curve around the cabin. Newell went
out on a epecial car, stopped at the cabin,
and went in with papers in his band.
Soon after Newell came out quickly and
Van Houten appeared in the doorway
with a rifle, fired and Newell fell dead.
Van Houten claims he shot in self-defence,
but it appears ; Newell was not
armed. Van Houten had no interest
in the property. He was jailed at Colo
rado Springs. ' . Newell was a nephew
of President Newell, of the Lake Shore
road. W. H. Hoskin was arrested as
an accessory. The officers of the Mid
land road consider Yeoman largely res
ponsible, and say they .will prosecute
him. '

tion of Tangier, which is to be . the

The End Seems Near."
London, Dec. 20. Important dis
patches have been received here tonight
from Tokio, indicating clearly that,
practically, the war between China and
Japan has ended. Whatever instruc
tions have been conveyed to the com
manders of the respective military and
naval forces from the governing powers
of the two empires is not told in the ad
vices, but assurances are given in quar
ters known to be thoroughly cognizant
of diplomatic affairs that the emperor of
China has been prevailed upon to have
commissioners sent to Japan, and that
these envoys have such power of con
cessions as will without doubt enable
them to bring about an immediate and
thorough end ot hostilities. The details
of their authority are not given, but the
presumption is not ignored in diplo
matic quarters that the consessions
asked by the Japanese government have
met with the acquiescence of the reign
ing powers of China. '
