ball entering nearly the centre of his breast and coming out behind a little lower and on the right side. The wound was evidently fatal one, but the man was in semi-unconscious state. Sev- eral persons attempted to gain some in formation from him, but to all questions he responded with his name-'fM Manuel Martinez" He lived about half an hour after being shot.
 Judge Hunter summoned a jury and was on the ground soon after the mur- der, and then adjourned to his court room to hear the evidence. The follow ing witnesses were examined: Archie Futile, Henry Gray, Francisco Mungia, A. Graden and Jesus Roma. The hear ing consumed an hour and half, at the end of which time the jury returned the following verdict:
 "We, the jury, find that the deceased was named Martinez; that he came to his death by a gunshot fired by some person unknown to us, but we would re- tlldI TIdHClbCO OC iiCAO for preliminary examination"
 The man Martinez was seen around town all day Tuesday in company with Mungia and another Mexican. The third man, who is supposed to be the mur- derer, is stranger, but would be recog nized by great many persons who no- ticed the trio. A pretty accurate des- cription of him and his outfit was ob- tained and no doubt will soon be arrest ed by the authorities who are on his his trail. The officers have plenty of in- formation in regard to him, and it is sup posed that he is still lurking in the vi- cinity of Stafford.
 In accordance with the recommends ton of the coroner's jury, Judge Hunter held Francisco Mungia for a preliminary examination charged with being an ac- cessory, and he did seem to know more of the transaction than he was willing to tell. The witness Roma was also taken into custody as witness pending the pre-

 The body was given into the charge of Gottlieb Zoller, who boxed and buried it on Wednesday.
 Up to the time of going to press with this paper, the murderer has not been apprehended, but as forge force of dep uties are on his trail, his arrest is only a matter of a few hours.-Safford Arizo- nian.
 LATER.-The news reached Clifton yesterday that Mexican gave himself up to the authorities at Stafford Tuesday claiming that he killed the man found at Dry Lake accidentally.
 c. W. Maxon, the well-known mining man, was seen by the ERA scribe at Lordsburg this week. MT. Maxon has been in that section for about two months and has secured group of eighteen val uable claims in the Virginia district sev- eral miles south of Lordsburg. The above district was worked years ago for silver and lead and no attention was paid to copper. It turns out that some of the mines that had considerable de- welopment work on them are 6rst-class copper properties, running as high as 50 per cent copper, besides we'll in silver and lead. MT. Maxon's friends here hope he will succeed in the new copper camp.

 The ERA is informed by MT. Stafford that President Garland, of the G. w., G. & N. Ry., will soon have an engineer at work surveying railroad line from Sol omonville to Morenci. MT. Stafford says that line can be run from Solomonville to Morenci on two per cent grade.

Madame Dreyfus. accompanied by her
parents, drove to the prisoner in a car
rage yesterday afternoon. Her parents
were not admitted but she remained
with her husband an hour. On leaving
she showed, for the first time, signs of
distress. Her eyes were swollen and
red, as though she had been weeping
bitterly. She is still in deep mourning

for the murder of Harry G. Tandy near
Mcfarland on Wednesday, June %.

gether with Chief Ramsey have been
working on the case for the past three

parties. Tandy was a young druggist
from Creighton, Mo, and went to Nc
Farland, and towns near there on a
tramping expedition for the experience
He had money and was last seen on
Wednesday, June %. in company with
two negroes. The next morning at s
o'clock he was found lying on the bank
of a creek. his body half submerged in
water. He was alive but unconscious
and died in a few hours without max
ing any statement
The police received descriptions of the
two men, who were seen with Tandy,
and at once connected the description
of one of them with Render. The off,

Render and Williams were not in town
on the day of the murder but arrived

Butchers Will Not Be Permitted to
Permitted to Slaughter Animals
at Their Places.

c. W. Myers, who has butcher shop
at Tenth and Topeka avenues wants to
get permission to slaughter in a small
way near his premises. The people who
live in that vicinity naturally object.
At the council meeting Wednesday
evening, City Physician Peers submitted
a statement to the effect that the place
was clean.
Mayor Drew said: That is no place for
a slaughter house
Councilman Roundtree inquired if
there was not an ordinance which pro-
hibited the Strengthening of animals in
side the city.
Councilman Nettels said that if there
was not there ought to be.
City Attorney Bird-It can be done
under the ordinance with the consent of
the cOnc1.
Councilman Mergan-It is time to nip
things of this kind in the bud. I dom
believe that city has any business to
grant permission Of this kind.
Mayor Drew said that he had received
many complaints about animals being
slaughtered at this particular place.
The council did not give the license
requested.

Their photographs were taken and

with Tandy. The Rock Island officers

found that the day following the muir

supposed to be the watch when De-

The valise has not been found but
the officers learned that Williams sent

u. L. Sullivan of St. Louis, delivered
a lecture on Divine Science last night
at the Divine Science hall No. 722 Kan

and the audience paid close attention
to the words Of the lecturer as he un-
folded the principles of the Divine Sci

with notices and teachings from the
Bible. DR.. Sullivan viii deliver another
lecture this afternoon and tonight after
which he will leave for his home in St.

During the course Of the lecture Dr.
Sullivan brought out the following
points. which deal directly with the
fundamental principles of Divine Sci

good. He is Omnipresent- He is Omni-
potent During prayer the one who
prays must keep in mind the thought
that he is the identified l. God and dis

COUNCIL SWAMPED.
Can Not Do All the Paving Peo-
pie Demand.

The city council is almost in deep wa
ter over the paving contracts. The
council last evening awarded the con-
tracts for Is blocks of street pavements
besides two blocks of alleys.
There is such a rush of petitions that
there is little likelihood that any more
can be considered. 1t is necessary to
have the property assessed for the paw
ing on the tax rolls next month if the
paving is done this year and it is doubt
full if any more petitions can go through
the regular order in time to have the
property on the rolls.
Councilman Morgan and the people
living on Hancock street want to pave
the two blocks between Second and
Fourth streets and the petitions are now
out for SignerS. A special effort will be
made to have these two blocks paved
this year.
Councilman Nettels after lively fight
succeeded in having the petition for
paving Tyler street between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets, approved and or
dered spread on record. There is re-
mOnStrance against this block which
will be presented at the next meeting
of the council. 1t is probable, however,
that the pavement will be ordered this
year.
Petitions We're received to pave King
street between Western avenue and
Fillmore and petitions for paving Fill
in course of preparation.
The contracts for paving were award
ed as follows in accordance with the re-
port of the committee on streets and
walks:
Monroe street, between Third and
Fourth street, grading to NJ. F.. Wall
for PIP cents per cubic yard; curbing,
John Richie, at 40 cents per lineaI foot;

Stranger Is Discovered Leaving Mum
Gle, Ind, With Stolen Baby.

Muncie, Ind, July ga bold attempt
by a stranger to kidnap a 3-year-old
child today came near proving success
full, the abductOr being discovered sew
eral hours after he had secured the little
one and just as he was about to leave
the city. The kidnaper, when arrest
seemed certain, left the baby and sought
safety in flight. A posse, threatening
dire vengeance, is in pursuit.
While a circus parade was passing
along Main street this morning Henry
Lamb, who was accompanied by his lit
tie grandchild, was startled TO see a
stranger pick up the baby and run
away The aged man gave the alarm,
but kidnaper and child were soon lost
to sight in the crowd. The police were
notified, but as the town was filed with
people from the country search proved
futile. Lamb himself finally found the
man. still carrying the child, at the
depot as he was boarding a train for
the north.
