IN THE HUACHUCAS
A Miner is Shot to Death by His Partner-Giyes Him
 selfsup.

Last night J. P. Hand, deputy sher- in the West Huschucas. came to town and delivered to the authorities MT 0. H. Eienfeld who had killed bis partner Mir. s. c. Harper. the night previous in the Huachucas at their mine about 4 miles from the Hand ranch.
 Eder6eld appeared tefore Coroner koska and made statement, claiming the deed was done In self lf-defspse. The coroner, Sheriff Fly and Deputy Hand left early this morning for the scene where an iuquest and examination will be had.
 THE PRISONERS STATEMENT.
 Edenfeld. who was placed in jail pending further investigation, was seen by PEosPsCroR representative this morning and when asked regard ing the affair gave an apparently aightforward account of hi. first meeting and partnership with the de- ceased 10 the unfortunate ending.
 Edenfeld, who isa stranger in this section, came from Globe here, and about Christmas time formed the &C., qusin,ance of Harper at his mine in the Huachucss, and later they mutu- ally agreed 10 work jointly and share their fortunes alike. Edenield had little or no money and Harper had considerable grub to keep the wolf from the door, while the mine had mos. fiattering prospects,.
 For several weeks everything pro- ceeded hsrmoniou.!y; new house was built and work a. the mine was prosecuted vigorously. Then came a change. and Edenfield claims that hi. partner became more reserved, and daily the brecch WAS widening. New ertbeless they toiled together and struck some rich ore which WAS being sacked . shipment of 49 eaeks was iH readiness st ths time of the tragedy. The cause ol the trouble, the prisoner states he does not know, or he would not tell, asserting that he wa. kept in ignorance of many transactions that, as Q partner hs should have been male ccgnizsnt Of, but did not betray his feelings. He further declares that Harper even thr, atened him and when on the fatal b,gG. at dusk, Eden field returned from the Sutherland ranch with sack oi flour packed on his burro, and when in the act of de- po.iting it in the bin in the house he heard the clicking of 8 trigger on turning saw Harper having 6 rife pointed at him, he expected his threat would then and there be carried into execution. Edenhsld quickly wrested the fife from him and showing Har- per backward, staggering against the wall, he lsyeled the rife at him in . downward range and fired, the sho, taking effect ;n his throat, evidently severing tine jugxlsr and wind pipe, causing instant death. Ed nfield inn msdiately went te Deputy Sheriff Hand, four ni!es distant, told him what had happened and gave himself ur. The two then returned to the scene, and finding Hsrpe; dead, came on to Tombstone.
 The deceased is well known in Tuc- son having taught school several terms in Pima county but has been Q resi- dent of Cochise county for the psst several years. Eden nfi sld is . prospsc- tor and came from Glo3s whers be worked in the mines there.
 The investigation of the Coroner may throw moro light on ths affair and their return is swsited.
