Germany and Venezuela.
Depression In London.
London, Dec. 31. Financial and political circles are
much depressed todaj- over tne dispute between Germany
and Venezuela. Consols dropped materially and unless the
matter is patched up shortly it is felt that England will
be drawn into the trouble. Quieting- dispatches were re
ceived from Berlin this morning saying Germany had re
frained from bombarding the South Atrerican republic,
but would do so if satisfaction is not guaranteed. The
situation is regarded as critical.

General Pyle of South Dakota, Gover

that the plan of Governor VanSant, of
Minnesota, will be indorsed by the ex

ent, and that the tight against the
railroad consolidation will be carried
to a finish.

Change in Manaement
The New England kitchen today
changes management. The new pro
prietor Is Almeron Newman, and he
will be assisted by C. E. Wilson, for
five years connected with the Harvey
houses on tbe Santa Fe railroad. The
new management promises to maintain
the. high standard already attained by
this cafe, and at all times will keep the
best of Kansas City meats, fresh oys
ters and fish and game in season.
At once, on hearing of tho tragedy
in the Huachucas that involved the
killing of George Aston, one of the.
most popular caitlc men in this region,
Deputy Sheriff UUs and Justice ,
Greaves, of Naco, left for the scene,
where Ells took charge of the official
proceedings.
The shooting was done in a tent sa
loon at tho mouth of Brou n canyon,
kept by A. L. Whituey, near which ,
were some tents inhabited by Mexi
cans. Leonard Page, Mack Robertson and
Jack Campbell, two well known rang
ers, had been notified and did some
hard riding, going the distance, over
twenty 'five miles, in a short time.
These rnnger3 had the Mexicans who
participated in "he trouble arrested by
the time the deputy sheriff and justice
arrived. A coroner's jury was at once
summoned and the particulars of tbe
ti agedy gleaned from the evidence by I
Justico Greuves.
Briefly, it appeared that Geo. As
ton, who was killed and who lay on the
floor with a bullet in his Head, together
with J. C Benningfield, A. L. Whit
ney, J. A. McGaughey and Cruz Fi-'
gueora and Kumon Moreno were talk
ing in the tent. Some slight alterca
tion ensued, ana Benningfield and the
Mexican, Cruz Figueroa left the tent,
and walked down the road, where they '
quarreled. Evidently the Mexican was I
determined to continue the row after1
it was started, and by some means he
had possessed himself of Benningfield 's
gun. On returning to the tent Cruz
had the sixshooter and the men tried ,
to make him gie it up. He refused
and stood outsidu the door; they ttill
tried to pacify Cruz, but in vain and
stepping forward to the doorway the
Mexican pulled tbe revolver and fired
at Aston, who was sitting crouched
against the wall.
Ashton fell over with a bullet in his
bead. j
A strirggle ensued between Benning
field and the Mexican, Cruz. The tent
was a scene of confusion and Cruz got '
away, but came back with a shot gun
be had secured and tried to kill Wh'.t-.
ney and McCaughey, but was shot and I
taken away by Ramon Moreno, who
was also wounded.
Cruz fired at once on reaching the ,
doorway and his aim was deadly, fori
As on's death must have been instan- j
taneous.
The cause of the tragedy was ap
parently of little consequence, and
Aston did his best wUh the rest to
quiet the Mexican.
The jury brought in a verdict of will
ful murder against Cruz Tigueroa.
Fiqueroa, Moreno, and other Mexi
cans were present, one of whom had
pulled n gun on Leonard Page hen
arrested, were taken to Naco guarded j
by the rangers, where they appeal ed ,
before JnsticeGrca.es yesterday.
Figueroa was wounded and presented ,
a ghastly appearance, -ineared as he
was, in blood
George Aston leae a wife and sev
eral children, and was a prominent
and very popular cowman. '
Monday evening heu the three
Mexican prisoners were brought into'
Naco tho feeling ran erj high against
them and it needed but u spark to
kindle the fire that would have caused
the stringing up of tbe three men who
did the killing and tbe two accomplices. ,
Sheriff Del Lewis came to Naco so..n
after the party of rangers arrived aid
Tom Turner, sheriff of Santa Cruz
county, came in on the evening train
looking for a man wanted for a crime
committed in Nogales. Tbe two sheriffs
immediately held a conference with the I
cool heads and persuaded them not to
start anything that might tend to lead
to a lynching of tbe prisoners under
guard of tbe rangers, as some innocent
men would be killed and lives sacri
ficed without cause, as the men under
both Sheriffs Lewis, Turner and Camp-
holl nf thft rnnffpra. wnuM nmlpM. thn

hazards. Tbe talk of the two sheriffs
bad tbo desired effect and the men
gave their promise that nothing would
be done to interfere with tbe guards
and the law would be allowed to take
its course.
The funeral of George Aston was!
held at 3 o'clcck yesterday evening!
from the residence of Henry Piatt, a
brother-in-law of the deceased, and was j
the largest funeral ever seen in Naco. J
The funeral services were conducted by '
Rev. Harvey Milton Shields of the'
Presbyterian church of Bisbee.
Washington, Dec. 3i. At a cabinet meeting today it
was decided to make the International Banking Combina
tion, organized in New York to do business in Shanghai,
the agent of the United States government for the receipt
of the Chinese indemnity. Consul Goodnow was appoint
ed to receive these payments. The total indemnity to be
received from China amounts to something over $8,000,000.
REFORM SCHOOL
Work Begun Monday by
th$ Contractor
Architect H. C. Trost Gives a
Review Reporter Some
Statistics
The building will coat $25,000.
It will be built of stone.
To be completed November 1.
Dimensions, 60x120 feet.
The Territorial Reform School, pro
vided for by tbe last legislatute, and
located at Benson through the untir
ing efforts of Steve Roemer, who was
a member of tho assembly. William
Sbilliam acd other public spirited cit
izens of Benson, is now to be erected
with all possible speed.
The contractors, Messrs. Fifield &
Gallagher of Phoenix, ai rived in Ben
son several days ago and the work of
excavating for the foundation began
Monday.
Tbe plans of the building were fur
nished by architect H. O. Trost, of
the firm of Trost & Rust, Tucson
Mr. Trost will superintend the con
struction work and was in Benson yes
terday conferring with the contractors.
From him it was learned that the Re
form school is to bo Romanesque in
style and to bo built of stone, which
will come from the vicinitv of Tucson.
The building will have a frontage of
1-0 feet and an average depth of GO
feet. The contract price is 825,000.
It will be two stories high with base
ment. Mr. Fifield has had years of
experience in the erection of public
buildings, and was superintendent of
the building of the new capitol in
Phoenix.
The architect, Mr. Trost, has fur
nished the plans and superintended
the conduction of many important
buildings in Arizona, including the
j Nogales and Willcox public school
buildings. He recently furnished plans
I for a $25,000 hotel to be built at Mo-
renci by the Detroit Copper company.
The Rf form school board of trustees
is composed of C. F. Schumacher and
i Henr Buehman, of Tucson, and H.
' Gerwein of Benson. All these men
are substantial citizens, in whom the
j p ople may rely to insist on tho very
1 best building possible for the money
1 spent.
! The erection of the Reform school
1 in Benson will add considerable to the
importance ot that town. As many
men will be vmjrked on tbe building as
can be profitably handled.
While there was much criticism
throughout tbe territory of the legis
latuio for passing the Reform school
bill, because it was lelie.ed the neces
sity for such an institution in Arizona
did not warrant the expenditure of
$25,000 at a time when the tax rate
wf s aiready at the maximum of endur
ance, etill all should now give it their
suppoit. When completed provision
should be made for the admittance to
its care of women convicts and also
the incorrigible jouth of the te jitory
The people of Benson are j,be con
gratulatep on acurlntr thir territorial
public building.

Sensational Nonsense.
Berlin, Dec. 31. United States Am
bassador ADdrew White informed a
German newspaper man who called at
the embassy today that the reports of
a possibility of war between the United
States and Germany were tbe "thin
nest kind of sensational nonsense."
Not one of tbe authorities referred to
in the Tageblatt dispatch, be added;
would under any circumstances dis
close such an opinion, least of all when
the relations between tho two coun
tries were so good as at present.
