 Bartlett had been teaming nearly all os his life in Arizona and was A most daring man. He hauled freight into sonora when the Indians wee bad and troops were afraid to follow them. He owned a number of mules and wagons.
 or late he had been feeling i'll and complained of lis head troubling him. He told his intimate friends that he could not attend 10 his business any more. He had gone to the mountains to take rest but his trouble grew worse. He seated himself on his bed and deliberately ended his career on this earth. A man who was stopping at the camp heard the noise Of the shot, and ran into the cabin to find the liieless body of Bartlett wi,h blood strea ming over everything, presenting sickeEing sight.
 News was brought to town last night, and this morning the coroner went out to hold an inquest. The re- mains will be brought 10 Tombstone for interment.

THE TALE OF 4 LAMB STEW. A Tempting Dish That vainiy Sought for
 Market

was sitting at lunch counter eat ing a ham sandwich. A lean man next me was also eating ham sandwich; a row of men behind him eating, some one thing some another. The keeper of the restaurant was calling out the bill of fare for the benefit of a new conner: Tomato soup, chicken pie, fried veal and lamb stew" etc. The lean man next me said, with a sort of scornful emphasis: Lamb stew" as though he had previously suffered disap- pointment with that particular dish; he he spoke louder than he intended. and the waiter heard what she took for an order and called out in emphatic tone: Lamb stew,' (This was an order to her associate behind the partition). The lean man stopped chewing for moment and gave me a sepulchral look, as much as to say: "Now have done it" He considered the situation for a moment. gobbled up the rest of the sandwich, and said privately to me, as he slid of his stool: II guess I'd better get out of this;" he handed in his ten cents for sandwich and coffee and softly departed In few moments the waiter appeared holding aloft platter with a bread-plate, napkin, etc, and in the blandest of tones inquired Lamb stew?" Nobody answered. I contin- ued eating my sandwich, and could see in the dim distance the coat tails of the missing lean man. but said not hing. Lamb stew?" Gimme a glass O milk" said short, fat man near me. Whose is this stew, please2" Dead si- lencc; the row of men kept on eating.
