The United States grand jury madeits
report this afternoon at 3 o'clock and
was discharged The report simply
states the cases which came before the
grand jury and the disposition of them
by that body. There were three in
dictments against smUgglsrs of mescaI,
two upon charges of adultery, one for
introducing liquor upon the reserYa-
ton, two for selling liquor to Indians,
one for forgery and one indictment
against four Indians for violating the
neutrality laws. 1t appears that these
Indians organized a military body and
left the reservation. Crossing the line
into Mexico they proceeded to whip the
entire pOpulace of Sonora. They were
fortunately caught in the act before
the state suffered any great mortality.
The forgery Indictment is against
George T. Williams, 2 soldier, station
ed at Fort HGachuca, who changed his
enlistment papers. The first case 20
come before the court tomorrow will
be that of Pedro Lopez and the other

Suicide seems to be epidemic. 1t is

morning J. Z. Harper reported to
Justice Campbell that he had seen a
man hanging TO a tree near the rail
road track, just west Of Prescott. JUS
tice Campbell at once summoned a
jury and going to the place found a
shoemaker named Jezyk. man APP
parentIy about 43 years Of age hang
ing by the neck, dead. The body was
viewed by the jury and the only thing
that could be Eound on his person was

evidently tied the rope-a piece of or
binary baling rope-around his neck,
climbed up the tree, fastened the rope
to the limb and dropped off. The fall
could not have been more than
eighteen inches and death resulted
from strangUIatiOn, as the neck was
not broken. There evidently had been
no struggle as his hands we're hanging
by his side in perfectly natural man
ner. His feet were not over six inches
from the ground a fact which led an
other man who had passed near the
place earlier in the day to think it was
a man standing on the ground by the
tree.-Journal Miner
