 Duncan T. George committed sui
 eide yesterday by takingsopium- He
 was brother-in-law of John J. Val
 entine, General Superintendent of
 Wells, Fargo & Co, and was for
 merly in the employ of that Com pany in California. He fell vic tim to strong drink and during his residence nere, about SIX months, has had no employment. Yesterday morning he borrowed twenty five cents and purchased opium with It and is supposed to have taken the whole as he was about an hour later discovered in Harry Balls cabin in an unconscious condition. It was at first thought that he was intoxicated and medical aid was not summoned until toward evening, when Drs. Henderson, Seawell and Goodfellow were called in. They used every known remedy at hand but their efforts were unavailing, and the un- fortunate man expired at 1 40 o'clock morning. A post-mortem will be held to-day.-Nugget, 14th.
 The tramps lately arrested and sentenced by Recorder Meyers to ninety days in the chain gang are hard customers. Originally there were ten arrested, two being boys were discharged, in hopes that better associations might possibly improve them. Another was a cripple and cannot work, and still another is sick, consequently there are only six who are able to do the Territory any service. These were ordered out yesterday to work, but they refused work, and they ihatly refused to take the tools, or go to the place out be- yond Dr. Lords residence, where they were assigned to work. They 1 were then bound together in pairs, a | shovel being tied between each pa1r' and the whole six chained to cart, l and the cart driven 10 the working | ground. It is needless to say that the tramps arrived there about the same time that the cart did. But the old saying that "you may lead a burro to water, but you cannot force him to drink,'' was fully verified, as upon arriving there they still refused to work, and remained there during the entire afternoon without striking a blow, and when the time arrived to quit work-if they had worked they refused to return to the jail un- less aga1n chained to the cart, which request was cheertully complied with. Their diet continues to be ex- ceedingly light, and they say if their sentence be commuted to thirty days .hey will work, but ninety days of chain-gang life breaks their hearts Tucson Star
