SUSPECTED OF MURDER.
An Echo From a Brutal and Mysseri-
 ous Crime

Over year ago Frank Smith, a prosperous and popular young farmer, living on the Tempe road just beyond the crossing of the Maricopa canal, heard burglars one night attempting the door that led from his bedroom to the porch. He sprang from his bed and grappled with one of the intruders and had forced them back upon the porch, when one of them shot him fairly in the breast. He fell pack dead in the arms of his young wife.
 The next day the footprints of two men were found where they had run across the road and into an alfalfa field, but further no clue led. Tramps were arrested only to prove their inno- cence, and suspicion rested on neigh bors who knew of the existence in the | house of a few hundred dollars.
 Yesterday several of the local officers found what they believe a clue. George Custer, a German, who claims to be miner working at the Vuiture, has been in the city several days, drunk for the greater portion of the time. He was in Phoenix at the time of the murder and has been away since. In his maudlin talk he has dropped hints that he knew more than he would tell of the killing, and he is believed to be one of the assassins.
 His arrest was secret one, pre- sumably that a newspaper might not be informed, but he now is locked in the county jail under a simple com plaint for misdemeanor, while the de- l tails of the graVer crime are being in- vestigated.

MURDHROUS CONDUCTOR
Attempts to Kill a Division Superin-
 tendent of the A. & P.

The superintendent of the Williams division of the Atlantic 6, Pacific rail- road had a narrow escape from being killed in Williams Sunday morning.
 The superintendent had found out in some manner that the conductor of the fast train was an old striker. He met the conductor on the depot platform and told him in tones not to be mis- taken that his services were no longer required and added that if he had known he was a striker he would not have worked minute on the road.
 The conductor retorted in strong language and drew a pistol He held it at the superintendent's head but the latter lodged, the bali speeding harm lessCy by. The conductor was prevent ed from shooting a second time.

 January 4.

The big dramatic spectacle, Cleo para, will be presented at the opera house on Saturday, January 4. This is the finest dramatic production on the road, with chorus, scenery, ballet and storm scene.

As Miss Lewis wants to eliminate it. the local managers insist on the complete production as given in Chicago, New York and San Francisco, and say that the barefoot ballet will be given as sure as Miss Lewis will play Cleopatra

PASSIVE VENEZUELANS.
They Are Waiting on the Actions of
 the United States.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Oficial communications from the Venezuelan government came in the mail received here today, but so far as could be learned they presented no new phases of the situation. Minister Andrade did not go to the state department to- day, which appears to confirm the view that the Venezuelans are in a passive attitude pending the develop ment of the policy of the United States.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,

NEW YORK, Oct 9-The speculation
to-day was upon about the same scale as
to activity as yesterday but was much
more regular in its course, the tendency
of prices being mainly upward. The
dealings were to very large extent in

The news was of a conflicting char
acter. For instance, a decline in the
rates for money, an advance in silver GER

The market opened irregular and mod

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The cotton mar

due to higher Liverpool cables and frost
scares The frost scares were kept up
throughout the day. There was news
of killing frosts in Memphis and more or
less general frost in Alabama, Missis-
sippi and certain parts of Texas. The
weather maps pointed to frost IN the

were scarce IS to the actual damage
thus far. New Orleans was pretty

eminent report is to be out and gossip
points to range anywhere from SO to

receipts are ignored, although exceeding
