A DIST'RESSFUL END.
An Aged Woman Succumbs to Illness
 and to the Heat.

Mrs. Catrina Ziehl, aged GA, died yesterday shortly after noon, at the blacksmith shop of Lem Wilkerson, a brush shanty in the Irvine addition, a quarter of mile beyond the Santa Fe freight depot.
 She had been staying at the Marks house in the city and had walked after II o'clock to near Seventh avenue and Jackson, where she was found pros trated by a storekeeper of the vicinity. She was placed in a wagon and at her request taken to the blacksmith shop, where she shortly after expired Dr. Woodruff was called, but nothing could be done. The body has been held awaiting instructions from relatives in Denver.
 The woman was a German, and had, according to Wilkerson, been known to him for twenty years. She had been in Arizona for many years, living in Prescott and in Chapparel before com ing to Phoenix. Here she cooked for a short time at the Santa Fe section house, and later acted as housekeeper in the miserable shack and tent called by Wilkerson his home.
 Justice Morris empanelled jury of inquest, as the circumstances of death were unusual. The jury will report this morning, and will probably cer- tify that death was from brain trouble aggravated by the long walk in the heat.
 In the Woman's trunk were found let ters that showed she had a son, Emil ziehl, resident in Denver, and to him telegram was sent. Her effects in- cluded $6 in silver in her purse, bank book showing a deposit of $630, $50 in drafts on Prescott, a mortgage on Den yer property due to her of $500 and a life insurance policy, paid up, in the amount of $230. Also discovered were papers of divorce from her former husband, issued in Leavenworth, Kan saS

Contesting Democratic Delega-

SACRAMENTO, June 16-The strug- gle between the two contesting dele gations from San Francisco to the Democratic state convention was re- stunned this morning with renewed wig or. Chairman Gould, of the state committees excluded both contesting delegations from the hall until the committee on credentials was appoint ed.
 At i o'clock the Buckley delegates from San Francisco forced their way into the convention hall, over the ser geant- t-at-arms and his assistants, and took their seats in that portion of the hall reserved for the San Francisco delegation. The Junta delegates were unprepared for the move.
 At 1:30 the Junta delegates from San Francisco arrived and finding their seats occupied by the Buckley men they scattered themselves through the hall. The Buckley delegates assert that nothing but physical force will induce them to relinquish their seats and it is predicted a lively scene will ensue.
 It is reported that Gould has called
