Robert Rouise Suicides.

About eleven o'clock Monday Robert M. Rouise, the genial, whulesouied miner, shielded by shooting himself through the head. He had been drinking for severa! weeks and it is thought that owing to his inability to sober up, became despond- ent and while temporarily insane com m;tted the rash act. The shooting was done in rear room of the Sample sa- loon. MT. Rouise had expressed an in tention to go out to the Gro Plata mine with Thomas Davis and Greedy Clack and they had awakened him in the morning and alter eating breakfast had gone to his room in the Kingman House to take them to the mine was waiting in front of the Sample saloon and Rouise walked over and entered the building by the back door. He was not ready to get in the wagon and stated that if the boys left him alone until he smoked cigarette he would then go with them. He was left alone Tn the rear room and in few minutes muff1ed shot was heard. The crowd in front of the building rushed back and found poor Bob on the floor gasping his last He never spoke. The bullet had entered above his right ear and passed out near the top of the head on the left.
 Robert M. Ronise was a native of Utah, aged about 42 years and had re- sided in Mohave county about fifteen years. He was an excellent miner and was quiet and industrious. Ills one fault was drink He had not one enemy in Mohavo county and his sad death will cause deep regret among his old acquaint ances in Utah and Arizona.
 His friends took charge of the funeral, which was held Tuesday afternoon aod Judge Blakely read the services at the grave. The greater part of KIngman' s population turned out to do honor to the dead
 Judge Redman telegraphed to Canab, U ah, near which place MT Rouise for merly lived, last Tuesday evening, in- forming the Mormon bishop at that place of the death and requesting him to in- fJrm the parents.

boriously climbing up few feet below he fired down on him, the shot taking effect under the shoulder blade and pass ing down through the body. The body fell to the bottom of the canyon, and Stearns, who saw the dastardly deed tried 10 hide under all overhanging ledge, but the Indian shot him four times and he too fell to the canyons bottom, leav- ing a trail of blood on it's rocky sides The Indian then went below and again shot Stearns and Davis through the head. The bodies were not robbed of vaIua bles, with exception of pistol and boots.
 Box collins were made ny breaking up one of the boats and wrapping the bodies in canvass they were placed in these rude receptacles and conveyed to the river It was an hercnlean task to con vey the bodies in the cCffin over rocky, bushv ground distance of six miles, but it was accomplished by the noble hearted friends of the dead men. The bodies were taken to Needles by boat and ship. ped to San Diego.

Fay believes that an equally agreeable affair can be had on the 22d inst. to do honor to the memory of that great and bravest of all men, George Washington. To that end the Hall is freely rendered to the people of Mohave county for that occasion.

One of the search party tells of the general conclusion as to the method of the murder. The Indian lead Davis and Stearns east from the camp near Call
 vile, up through rocky ravine for nearly six miles, until they came to ter imitation of the canyon. The Indian probably told them that on the cliff above was located the mine and they be gan the ascent of the precipItous side of the canyon. The Indian had climb d on to ledge, or terrace on the canyon side and as Davis was carefully and la

4 Tale of Murder.

The following is the pithetic story of the horrible murder of James l. Sfearns and Mum Davis, as told by the search party acting as jury of inquest on the bo lies It calls for the best efforts of our off .ers to trail down and bring to just justice the red 6end who committed the crime:
 About six miles south of cld CallVille,
 in Arizona Territory, Feb. h, 1897 This is 70 certify thac we, the IL der, signed, sitting and holding an inquest on the bodies of Munn Divis and James L Stearns, who were prospecting on the Colorado river, on the Arizona side: We think that they each came to their death by the hands of a half breed Mexican In1i4n, known as Mouse, as they left camp in company with him.
 We found the bodies in an almost in accessible canyoo about six miles from the river; we found the bodies of both men close together, tying on their faces DfNtS Wdo oIl)U JHC lOp Ol lllc head and Stearns was shot about one inch Tn front of the left ear IL was very hard for us to examine the bodies very closely as they had laid there about eleven days; We found eight A calibre rife shells empty near the bodies; we also found that the boots were taken off from Davis and carried away They were light tan color and laced clear 10 the top of the leg in front; we also found his lett hand pants pocket turned inside out The said Davis, when he left camp had white handled A revol yer with belt and scabbard, which is also gone. One shoe was taken off of Stearns, but it was not carried away. Both had watches, but they were not taken. Ap- pearances indicate that Davis was shot on cliff some twenty feet above where his body IS found, as there was trail of blood down the rocks to the point where the bodies lay.

The Mineral Wealth this week among other things tells what it does not know about the northern part of Mohave conn ty. It says the people who inhabit that from the county seat and that If that DOT ton of the county was annexed to Utah it would oe one hundred miles to S George, the Utah county seat. There is one settlement in northern Mohave county, known as LittleGeld It is sit uated on the Virgin river, one hundred and sixty miles north of Kiugman To get into the Mount TrumbulI from King man three hundred miles will have to be travelled St George is only four miles from the north boundary line of Mohave county. To show that this part of Ali zona Is the resort of thieves we have but to refer to the fact that stock has been stolen in Arizona and drlven across the river, where it IS passed along into Utah and Nevada. Last year a posse of COW men took trip into that country and found plenty of evidence of thIs fact On the other hand cattle are stolen ir Utah and taken through this strip and
 finally land in Arizona south of the river The residents of that part are law abiding citizena, but when depredations are com mitted there they are too poor t, come to the nearest justice to lodge com plaint. As far as the taxes are concerned the amount is small Last year 1500$ was collected and over seven hupdred paid out for collection and school pur- poses and about one hundred for road overseer, leaving net receipt of about ZOOS. If two schools are maintained in stead of one, as is now proposed, it will take every cent of revenue We have nc desIre to part with our northern strip, but fact is fact.

We have read the Williams News and the Mineral Wealth and are convinced that a remarkably funny thing occurred iu Williams few nights ago. The funny incident consisted of the robbery of three Jews in the office of the Williams House by masked man. The man ob. tained 755$, and the funny part of the business was stopping in the doorway, when taking his departure and shooting at the defenseless men. The bullet passed through portierie and struck woman in the leg. Wasn't it delight fully funny In all our experience in newspaper work nothing has so excited our disabilities Just think of these men selling off a loose stocK of handmedown clothing ali day and then Tn the evening gentleman of Williams, appreciative of the rediculous in life, comes in and holds; them up for their cash sales The wo- man getting in the way of the bullet in- tensfied the ludicrous to a superlative degree The editors of these two papers should not have told such a funny tale without sending out sets of buttons with each copy.
