I'arsoiiK settled there until the eve
ning of the alleged shooting. Howe's
dofense wns that tho shooting was ac
cidental. From ithe evidence It appear that
hot It men came hero election day for
the double purposo nf voting nnd pur
chasing supplies. Howo and 1 'arsons
met on Montezuma street shortly after
11 o'clock in the forenoon.
Tuny enjoyed n drink or two to
gether, although the saloons were
closed during voting hours, lloth had
already voted nnd finished their pur
chasing of camp supplies, not the least
of which was a liberal investment in
antidoto for snake bite.
I'nrmms wan on foot and Itowe invit
ed him to return 'to camp with him,
stating tnnt lie was on horseback and
would allow him to "ride and tie" on
tho way home. They left shortly af
ter noon, Itowe mounting his charger.
Arriving at the point where the Cop
per liasln road branches from the
Crown King stage road immediately
south of the city limits, Itowe stop
ped mid allowed Parsons to mount
nfter they had enjoyed a drink. Knch
was possessed nf u quart bottle of
stimulants bottled in accordance with
the provisions of the pure food law.
Parsons told Howe to enjoy liberal
potions as he had a three months'
supply nf L'ood old Kentucky stuff
following the next day with his gro
eery supply. Judging from their
statements 1hey drank at lenst twelve
times from the bottles in the six
mile alternate walk ami ride, stopping
at four waterings places met on the
way.
Arriving at the Stephens corral, a
short distance from the place where
the shooting occurred, Parsons' jng
proved too heavy for him to mount
Itowo'ti horse, even with Howe's as
sistnnce. Howe rode to the springs
nnd unsaddled the faithful equine nnd
started to cnop wood. While thus en
gaged Parsons arrived and entered the
house.

Itowe left tn feed the pet rabbits nnd
do other chores.
Arriving in the house again, he
seated himself oh the right of Par
sons and in talking of the election,
remarked that he believed the two
Smitns Harney and .Mm, 'would be
elected, basing Ills judgment on the
number of Democrats he hnd heard
say that they would vote for them in
PrcM-ott.
Parsons' answer was, according to
defendant's testimony, "Dry up, what
do you know about itf"
Hot words followed in which Par
.sons, Howe says, slapped him in the
face,
Howe ordered Parsons from the pre
mises and went to his room for n
hhjitgun as Parsons was leaving. Par
sons stepped into the next room find
wns holding the knob of the door
when Howe returned with the shotgun.
The gun exploded, Howe testified, ac
cidentally, the charge passing through
the easing of tho door, part of it
lodging on Parsons' stomach between
the cuticle nnd his undershirt.
Parsons fell to the lloor believing
thnt ho watt mortally wounded. Ho
dragged himself from the room to the
outside of tho building with the as
sistance of Mrs. Pete.
Mrs. Pete and her sister, Mrs. Untes,
then walked to Prescott nnd informed
the ofllcers of tho shooting. Deputy
yheritf Merritt nnd a physieinn im
mediately loft for tho place and ar
riving, found Parsons lying outride
outside with part of the shotgun
charge still lying on his stomach,
which was slightly burned by the hot
shot. Only one of the shot penetrated
the skin.
itowe, wno testified that he hnd en
joyed several smokes in Ills room dur
ing the hours following the shooting
before tho otlicors arrived, was placed
under arrest and held to appear be
fore the grand jury which returned
an indictment charging him with as
sault with intent to commit murder.

CHECKS
Lard is a Foe to Digestion
Pork in any form is indigestible, and most people cannot eat it without sub
sequent discomfort. It therefore follows that food prepared from lard, which is
nothing more or less than hog-fat, is of necessity indigestible.
Cottolcnc is made from Cotton Seed oil refined so perfectly that it is abso
lutely neutral in odor and taste.
You know how rich and nourishing Olive oil is. Do you know that cotton
seed oil and olive oil are almost exactly the same in chemical properties? Olive
oil is too expensive for general use in frying and shortening Cottolcnc gives
the same results.
Having no odor or flavor, and taking up none, Cottolcnc once melted up can
