Death of Wm. Roche.

Every old timer who knew Wm. Roche ID by gone days will profoundly regret to learn of his tragic death, by his own hand last night. He was brave and courageous man, who sinned sgai nst himself rather than against others. He came to Tucson from Texas about "A years ago, was at one tine blessed with considerable megne, but fortune frown- ed aud he lost all. In 1882 he became a member of the police force under Mar shsl Buttner and later, on the death of his chief, he succe eded him. What man dared do IS what be did. At the time of the Wheaton robbery on the San Pedro he was largely instrumental in running down the perpetrators and sending them to their deaths. One sought to escape to Sonora. but was overtaken by Roche near Bolles We'll, and in the duel to the death that followed, he never wavered and the robber went down. The remain- der of this same gang were killed by the penitentlsry guards when they assault. ed and stabbed superintendent Gates.
 Within the past year MT. Roche had the misfortune to loose his two eldest sons, both almost 10 manhood grown. Ttls made him reserved Rnd Respondent ana beyond doubt unsettled his reason and led to the taking of bis own life last night. 4 few days since he went to the Mammoth intending to seek employment there, but being unsuccessful he return ed much discouraged. Yesterday he went to the stage cffice and paid his fare. Later he purchased some cart ridges at tLe etore of Mir. F. J. Villaes- cusa. If at that time he had in con- temptation the awful decd he carefully concealed his intentions and talked rs- tionally over his future prospects,.
 About o'clock while sitting on a bench in the Church plaza park he shot himself in the head, and died instantly The body was conveyed to the Baird undertaking parlors when a coroner's inquest was held and a verdict of death by bis own hand, while temporary insane, was rendered.
 He leaves wife and six children and a host of friends to mourn his loss. He was buried from his late residence by the Anclent Order of United Workmen, or which he was a respected member. Fortunately for hIs bereaved widow and family the sum of S2OO0 will be paid her by this noble order.
 The funeral was attended by large coDcourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.
 May he rest in peace.

THROUGH those who have been n Phoenix recently we learn that the swine plague reported as prevailing ln the district northwest of Phoenix, of which Glendale forms the center, is much more widespread than WAS at firet reported. At first but twelve ranches were named as having the disease upon them. But it is now stated that up to Saturday evening Professor Devol had established quarantine over twenty-seven ranches and the infected district covers an area extending fourteen miles north and eouth by seven east and west. In nearly all the ranches the disease is subsiding, upon some it has ceased DO deRths ID several days, and it now looks as though 8 proper observance of the quarantine rules laid down by Professor Devoi will result Tn stamping out the disease en- tirely within a reasonable length of time.

R. G. DUN & cos. MONTHLY RE-
 PORT OF TRADE CONDITIONS.

The month has showed relatively, little improvement in general business. The distribution of products has been fair, but not sufficient to materially im- prove the position of the industries and the range of prices for commodities, farm and mine, as we'll as manufactur- ed products show a falling off op sn average for the month of per cent.
 Money markets, however, have grown more favorable; also tie state of foreign commerce..
 In Southern California the meet inn portant change to note, at this time when tno green fruit trade is just about to open is that in the condition of our fruit prospects. Unusually cool weatb- CT for the month and frequent frosts seriously damaged deciduous fruits and vineyards. Apricots, peaches and plums have been most effected; the loss varIous- y estimated at from 20 to 90 per cent. Few vineyards escaped entirely. In some the damage will merely result in making the first crop little later; but in many the first crop of grapes is total iy lost. In some localities almonds and English walnuts also show bad results of blight. In grain not more than a half crop can be counted on. Barley at present is frmer with good prospects of higher prices.
 The bee men Tn some districts report much of the food supply of the bees des- troyed and southern California horey output for the year will scarcely be up to the average.
 Dried fruit continues quiet. The de- mand is moderate; but offerings are held rather more firmly. The effect of re- duction of the fruit crop this year, which is not confined to this state, will be that those who have drled fruit to market will probably realize better re- turns than for several years past.
 Interest continues to grow in mining and new and rich strikes are continual ly being reported.

NOTWITHSTANDING repeated denials Cleveland is still in the ring for re- nomination. 1t now transpires that ths Michigan endorsement of the great mans Financial policy by the democracy of that state was paid for in hard cash, and the recent gold standard convention in Dallas, Texas, WAS planned in and ordered from the White House. It IS further said that still hunt for gold bug convention is now being made in Arizona. Of course the Arizona demo c. rscy won.dn't take mouey for such endorsement ut they cannot prevent emissaries from the White House slip ping yellow eagles or the promise of an office into their trousers while they are looking the other way.

THE RIGHT MOVE.
The United States and Mexico Will
 Cooperate.

It appears that the governments of both the United States and Mexico have evidently come to some agreement whereby there is now a possibility of solving the much mooted Indian trou- ble.
 Last week 8 company of cavalry under the command of Lieutenant Bullock, marched to the San Bernardino ranch, on the line, and there was met by 8 company Of Mexican csvalrymen, under command of Colonel Emilio, a command CT of note in the interior of Mexico, and together the troops will go into Mexico on an extended campaign, ard scout the Sierra Madre mountaIns for the band of renegade Indians who have bean com ,r' 3u2 murders and oft repeated dep- reoatioas ID Arizona and Mexico.
 This plan of evident ac,ive and earnest cam psigDing has not been publicly an- nouDced, but is nevertheless a fact, and he department and General Miles is to be at least commended for thelr efforts to subdue this bloodthlrsty band who are supposed to be headed by the Kid
 A skirmish line IS also to be establish ed along the border and Lieutenant Rice, who IS yet in the field. will remain Tn command and closely guard the high way and trails and should the band be dislodged from their rendezvous in the Sierra Msdre and attempt to make their way to the reservation, will be given warm reception. It is understood the right kind of orders have been issued and, outside of the honor and fame the command who capture the Kid and his band would receive from a grateful people 8 reward of 5, GOO from the terri tory, which will be paid for the exter- imitation of this arch fend and his band of redhsnded cut,hroats.-Pros- pector.

THE session of the National Republi~ can Convention ct St. Louis is approach ing rapidly. It will be an occasion Of most extraordinary interest to the nation inssmuch as the nominee of the Repub- lican party st that time will be the nominee of the people of the nation, who have fully determined that the att tempts to lead them from the paths of prosperity by means of the free trade heresies, and the incompetency of the advocates of those heresies when in power, shall TO longer prevail. Four years of business disaster has demon strated most completely to every not to- tally prejudiced man that there is some thing radically wrong: more than that those four years have demonstrated to the people just what is wrong, its cause and remedy, more than any other period of government in the history of the United States. The action of the peo- pie will be positive aud unwGvering es this knowledge is definite Herald.
