MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Christina Christiansen Died Sunday at Her Ranch From the Effects
 of Poison.

On Sunday night Christina Chris tiansen, whose ranch is not far from Fairbank, died in great agony. She Was taken with with spasms while her coasin, \. Yendreson, was with her. Assistance was sent for to Fairbank, but before it arrived she was dead Her last words were, "Take care of my children"
 The peculiarity of the case aroused suspicion and an inquest was held up- on the body yesterday by Justice Duncan. No verdict was rendered, but the body was brought up to Tombstone and a post mortem exam ination held. Dr. Hamilton this morning discovered unmistakable signs of poison in the stomach of de ceased, and the coroner's jury will convene agsin in the morning to complete it's examination into the cause oi death.
 The testimony before tte jury did not show that deceased had tired Of life or had any motive in destroying herself. She complained of pains in her head and chest before dying. It is probable that arrests will follow the coroner's inquest.

OF the City and Finds hidden Article.

Prof. Sundeen Drives Through the Streets
or the City and Finds hidden Article.
Prof. SundeeA the mind reader AT
the Musee Theatre, surpassed all pre-
vious tests OF his given In this city by
wonderful display yesterday after
noon Of his power.
couple Of reporters got in carriage az
the Musee, yesterday afternoon, shortly
after five o'clock, and started up Mar
ket street with the intention OF hiding
en- article for the Professor TO lind. DIR.
Wechsler was selected to do the hiding,
as he had proved by previous
tests to be an easy subject.
The carriage was driven up Market as
far as Tenth and then to Main. 1t
went south on Main as far as Neill &
Ellingham's. On the way stop was
made by some OF the party to get a sup
ply OF cigars. The party dlsmounted
and proceeded to the Office OF Nelll &
Ellingham, where DR.. Wechsler took q
button hook from his pocket and hid 1t
between pile Of papers In drawer OF
one of the desks. The drive was made
back to the theatre and Prof. Sundeen
took his place on the drivers seat with
DR.. Wechsler beside him with one
hand on his wrist. The mindreader,
bllndfolded and bareheaded, grasped the
reins and gave the word to the hor ses
to go. They started of on trot, and
about hundred small boys followed 10
the wake. Between wagons, carriages
and street cars, Sundeen drove with
out once collidlng. He made the stop
where the party before had gotten out
to get cigars, and then started the
horses down Main street hill
at fast gait. He drew up
before Neil e. Elllngham's, and with
the doctor grasping his wrist he made
a dive for the store room. After run
ming around inside for few seconds
be got the scent and started for the
Office door In the rear part OF the store.
Here he wade his way TO the proper
desk and with some little fumbling
drew out the right drawer and found
the button hook between the papers.
After performing this remarkable test
he sank exhausted into chair gasping
for breath, and did not racover his
composure for several minutes.

To the Editor Of the Register:
SIR am informed members OF the
Finance Committee OF Council make the
plea they did not know the electric
light bonds had been called and drawn,
although the advertisement OF the Com
missloners OF the loan has been In the

passing strange in gentlemen who have
especial charge Of city financial
matters? Isn't this plea Of ignorance
of the same piece with the course OF the
Committee In neglecting to take action
or call attention TO the necessity OF fnd-
ing money to meet principal and inter-
est OF the bonds, although they knew
the Gas Trustees had not only no money
to meet what was coming due, but had
been clamoring for cash to meet run
