LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
The Death Of Leon Conyer Will Be
 Closely Investigated.

Yesterday some suspicious circum- stances developing as to the death of Leon Conyers, the authorities decided upon an investigation, and according ly a post mortem examination was held on the body of the deceased by Dr. Gordon, who made the eXamina- ton and reported that the bullet plainly showed that it had entered the the back and it's exit was between the fifth and sixth ribs in the chest. The arrest of the only two persons at the ranch at the time of the death-MrS. Conyers, wife of deceased, and Teles- phero Escuerdo, Mexican employed at the ranch, followed, both being brought in today which created con- siderable excitement, the theory that a murder had been committed being freely indulged in.
 Dr. Gordon assured ProSpectOr re- porter of indisputable evidence from the ezamlnation that the course of the bullet was from the back. The MeXi- can was interviewed in jail. He stated that he was out in the corral at the time the shot was fired and professed to know nothing of the alair. Mrs. Conyers willingly answered all queS- tions put to her by the reporter. She stated she was grinding coffee when the fatau shot was nred and rushed to the room. Conyers lived about ten minutes and although she asked how it happened in his anguish and pain lie did not answer. No one was on the premises Q her knowledge except the Mexican and he was at the corral. She did not know of any enemies of l.4e deceased and believed his death was due to accident.
 The authorities claim suspicious evi- dence w..cll justify them in belief murder was committed. Examination is set for Monday and bail placed at SzU1 100 for each Of the arrested parties. -ProspectOr.

ALIGHTING ON ALGODONES.
The Tncson Land Office Crowded With
 Filings on the Rich Grant

The Tucson land office began doing regular land office business on Mon day afternoon as soon as word was received that the Algodones land grant claim at Yuma had been decided in favor of the government by the su- preme court of the United States. A telegram from Tucson yesterday says that the office has been crowded ever since by persons wanting to file on the grant.
 Though the Aigodones grant is not very large it is by far the richest in the territory It extends along the east side of the Colorado, just below Yuma It is a part of a concession from the Mexican government to a man who afterward transferred his claim to Earl B. Coe of Denver Goes claim afterward passed into the hands of Denver bankers and was trans ferred by them not long ago to the State of Arizona Improvement com

pany- The litigation just ended was begun in Goes name in the court ,of private land claims, and it was among the first cases entered after the orga- niZatiOn of the court. The claim was sustained in that court and Attorney Matt G. Reynolds on the part of the government, appealed.
 The people of Yuma have always been indifferent regarding the final decision. They were only anxious that the title should be established one way or another as soon as possible, for the unsettled condition of things has done more to retard the growth of Yuma than any other cause.

The Beginning of the Trial of What Is
 Becoming an Interesting Suit
Arizona republican., 1898-05-25


 The trial of the case of Mrs. Mary E. Half against J. c. Adams, pro- prietor of the Hotel Adams, to re- cover the value of lot Of Jewelry stolen from her room in the hotel i'll February, 1897, began yesterday. The Iewelry consisted of rings, bracelets and pendants and breast pins, set with diamonds and other precious stones, altogether valued at about S3,000. The robbery occurred one afternoon dur ing the absence of Mrs. Half from her room for about three hours. The jewels were in case on a dresser The door was locked when she went away and but for the ab- sence of the jewelry appeared to have been undisturbed. Suspicion of the theft was at first divided among cer- tain employees of the hotel, such as maid and fireman. who necessarily mad access to it as to all the rooms. No trace of the missing jewelry has aver been discovered. notwithstanding carefu. and comprehensive search. Suit was brought against the pro prietor of the hotel on the ground .hat he did not have at that time a safe in the hotel in which the jewelry might have been deposited.
 The first witness examined was the plaintiff, who described under direct and cross examination at considerable length the circumstances of her ar rival at the hotel, her manner of leav- ing the location of her room, etc.
 The last witness of the day was her adopted son, H. W. Bergman, whose testimony was much the same as Mrs Haff's.
 Dispositions by W. T. kendrick and George P. Kendrick of the firm of William Hendricks Sons, Louisville, Ky, jewellers, were read. They de- scribed four rings sold to Mrs. Half in 1894 and 1895, valued at about $1, 500.
 The case will be resumed this morning.
