the tragedy are prominent residents
of montgomery county.
The murder occurred at the home Of

A company of well wishers was
gathered Following pretty custom,
all the company left the dining room
when supper was over, leaving the
bride and groom Ito themselves for
brief period before day should begin.
They sat side by side at the head of
the table in front Of an uncnrtafned
window. 1t was { then that Rankin
shot the couple. firing with shotgun
through the window. When the guests
rushed in they found the couple dead
in their chairs, their heads riddled
with shot. A curious child, member
of the Cook family, who was also in
the room, was badly wounded. None
saw the murder, and his identity was
until his dead body was
stumbled over outside the house. A
letter left by Rankin revealed the fact
that he was a rejected lover of Miss

cause she married another. He asked
his fellows craftsmen, in the Odd Eel
lows lodge, to which he belonged, to
bury him with the usual rites.

PRICE OF COPPER.

The price of copper will remain altogether at it's present high figure, or very nearly so. This is on ac- count of the consumption being greater than the supply and produc- tion. This is the natura- cause, but there is another reason. and that is the governments of the world are all demanding copper, especially those of maritime power or great navies, and those building tele- graphic ca, les. The government for war and governmental purposes seldom questions the price of com modity it needs, but pays the high est market price; in tact, fixes the standard of value, and that stand ard is readily acquiesced in by the general consumer. The copper plating of government war craft will consume millions of tons oi copper. It will take years to com plete the work, and the metal must be had and the D ice will b" aid hence the probability of copper being held at its present price. In fact, it is predicted that it will gc to twenty cents, and there remain for some years. Should this be nc telling what vast area of prosper ity Arizona. the greatest copper field in the United States, will eniey.-.Star.
