News from All Over the State

PHOENIX, Arlz., June 26.-The mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance of B..
Muller has been cleared, and as surmsed
his remains have been found, but the the
ory OF drowning has been eliminated. for
the man lad ended his career by shoot
ing himself.
The rem iins were found behind pile
Of brush by Edgar Bell, who accidentally Y
ran across it while out hunting. He i'm
mediately came to town and notified tn e
authorities. The man was found about
15O feet west OF Jim Monhon's house and
about $50 yards north of the Salt liver
canal The searchers had passed by the
place several times the preceding day, ana
Messrs. Webster and Bailey had passed
within ten feet of the dead man and the
stencil in the vicinity attracted their at
dog lying near by.
His hat was lying at his feet and let
ter was found protrudng from an inner
pocket, which was addressed to the coro-
ner. Besides the letter the only other ar
ticle found on his person was a small
pearl handled pocket knife.
The reamins were taken in charge b.,
Undertaken Smith and the letter turned
over to Justice Johnstone, ex-officio
coroner The letter consisted of few
words hastily scraN led on the back OF an

before he fired the shot that ended his
existence. The contents were as follows {:
ITO the Coroner: l com mt suicide
beca use / am sick with consumption and
my money is nearly all gone. Please give
me cheap burial. l tried poison, but it
would not succeed

whose house he had been stopping:
ITO Mr.. Bell. 427 West Adams street /:
Please see that my wife gets off to New
York just as soon as possible. Goodbye.
"B. MULLER
ner. it seems that the deceased had al
ready tried to kill himself by taking poi
sion, and proving unsuccessful had taken
the surer method with a pistol.
A jury was impa neled and examined
the remains, and at 8 o'clock Saturday
several witnesses were examined
\ The facts were developed that Mr.. Null
len had suicided probably because OF des-
pondency arising from poor health and
financial reverses. However, his wife is
not left pennlless, for what little property
he had reverts to her, and she will realize
something from the above mentioned
lodge, of which he was beneficiary.
There is but one point regarding the
circumstances of his death that needs
clearing up. He shot himself, and the
natural surposition is that the weapon
would be found by his side. There was
no sign of the weapon anywhere in the
vicinity, but it is known that party of
hobos had camped within seventy feet
OF where the remains lay, and one or
them must have fund the body and
taken the pistol without notifying the
authorities of the presence of the body.

to about $35. The bonds run twenty
