Probably a Murder.

The Phenix Herald publishes a telegram from Gila Bend, which says:
 At an early hour this morning a citizen of this place, while walking by the drug store owned by John Pratt. was mortified to sec that gen tleman lying on q cot near the porch of his store. unconscious and covered with blood. Help was summoned and the injured man examined. Examination showed that he had been struck on the head several times with heavy iron bar, and the perpetTator not satisfied WIth this terrible beating, cut the mans throat with a sharp instrument, making two horrible gashes, from which the blood flowed, dyeing the bed and clothing and dripping on the ground.
 The store was wide open and had been robbed of everything of value that was not too heavy or largo to carry away easily. How much was taken, or the value, cannot be learn ed until the man recovers sufficiently to speak, which, it is feared. he will never do.
 A telegram was at once sent for Dr. Pease, of Tuuson. who left that city on special engine, and reached Gila Bend late m the day.
 There IS absolutely no clue to the perpetrators, though 1t is thought to be the work of tramps, who have been very numerous about the city for some time.
 A posse of citizens, with Indian trailers, ara securing the country searching for tho perpetrator of the crime.

THE LATEST NEWS!! General Happenings Throughout Many
 Points of the Country.
Mrs. Bradhury'. raramour Bead.

SAN FRANcIsCo, Sept. 3.-Wilham Russell Ward, of Santa Monica, the
 Englishmau whose sensational elope-
 ment with Mrs. John Bradbury, from Los Angeles to this city in July last, resulted in his arrest for adultery, was discharged on Thurs day, August 26tb, and left here for New York on Monday last, presum- ably, to join his wife and family in
 England.
 CHioAGo, Sept. 8. W. Russell Ward, of Santa Monica, was a. pas senger on the Chicago & North western overland which arrived at Chicago today, and is believed to be the man who eloped with the wife of Millionaire Bradbury, of Los An geles, and leaped from a window of the Pullman car while the train was rushing through Iowa last night, and was killed.
 A telegram was received from Nheatlands, Iowa. almost at the same time that the train pulled into Chicago, which said that Wards body, clad only in a night robe, had been found near that station. It is believed he was demented. It is not know at what hour Ward jumped iIom the train.
 His absence was discovered bv Conductor Rumdsy when the train was between Geneva and Chicago. All the suicides clothing and effects were found in the berth he had occupied. The police of Chicago are mystilied over the case. Yester- day afternoon the following tele- gram was received at the Central station:
 Please send good man to draw ing room B, car ,, east bound over land, Northwestern train, arriving in Chicago at 7:30."
 The telegram was sent from Ere mont, Nebraska, yesterday afternoon. It bore no signature. Detective Broodwlck met the train at the depot and on investigation found that tho drawing room indicated had been occupied by Ward The body will be held at Wheatlands until friends are communicated with. His destination was Buffalo.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 3-Another report to the effect that WsTd was brought into the train at Fremont, Neb, by a gentleman we'll dressed. and ap- parently a business man of middle 1 age. There was nothing unusual l about him, and neither Ward or his l friend attracted any attention. Just | before the train started from Ere | mont, the other man placed Ward | in state room, and, shutting the ] door, leaped from the train. It is | not known whether he locked the | door on the inside. Immediately l after leaving the ear, the stranger | rushed to the telegraph office, and | sent message to the police of this l city, requesting them to take his friend in charge when the train | arrived. The police are inclined to | believe that Ward was of unsound | mind, and that he was sent to this city by his friends. Telegrams have been forwarded by the police to Fremont, requesting further evi- dence.
