The dead body Of an unknown colored man
was found near Mars station on the Ches-
apeake Beach railroad. five miles from the
District line, about noon yesterday He
had several wounds on his head. but be-
yond that there was nothing to indicate
the manner Of his DEATH While 1t was
believed the man was murdered and his
body thrown on the railroad tracks, it Is
possible that passing train killed him.

as coroner, summoned a jury Of inquest and
the twelve citizens of the county heard the
little evidence that could be obtained. He
had been seen hanging about the station
for three or four days. He was a stranger

LECKLIDER's NEW VENTURE
He Has Adopted Policy of Commer-
 cialism At Big Bug.

Frank Lecklider for some time an admired resident of this city and later a valued and confidential clerk of the B. B. company at Prescott, has gone into business on his own account at Big Bug. MT. LeCklider got tired of building up commercial fortunes for other people and determined to con- struct one for himself. This determin- atiOn of MT. LeCklider was sad blow to the musical circles of Prescott and a distinct loss to several of the church chors, for he was a member of several and they will be sOrely put to it to fill his place. As Mir. Lecklider's friends in Phoenix well know, those of them. who have ears for music. there are few such voices in this world as his.
 The change was also self-sacrificial on the part of MT. Lecklider. for there is no regularly organized licensed church at Big Bug.
 The startling intelligence pervaded Prescott one day this week that MT. Lecltlider was on his way to town to buy his winter and fall stock of ladies and gents furnishing goods, and Par siau millinery models. His friends gathered in large numbers to receive him but he was not on the regular train. They waited hour after hour at the depot, thinking perhaps he was en route on a special train. Late in the afternoon an object was seen moving downward on the railroad right-o It was MT. Lecklider and as he came nearer it was observed that he was clad in Levi Strauss famous copper-rivited overals though there was no dog hanging on behind to prove the sturdi- ness of their manufacture. MT. Leck- Iider was also wearing hob-nailed sho $. What was good enough for his patrons was good enough for him. Mir. Leck- lider remained in town two nights and one day making careful selection of his stock

AGENT HADLEY'S REPORT
He Recommends the Sale of the Gila
 Bend Reservation.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-(SpeciaD The annual report of Agent Hadley of the Pima Indian reservation recommends that the Indians on the Gila Bend res ervation be transferred to the Gila River reservation and the former res ervation disposed of, the proceeds to be used for the benefit of the Indians. The report shows that the great need of the Indians is a proper water supply to sustain the farms and properly water the crops. At the present time they are without means of irrigation. The re- port recommends that reservoir be constructed in the Gila river for inn pounding flood waters for the jrriga- tion of 10000 acres, which will be suf- ficiently productive to support not only the Indians resident thereon, but also wandering Indians now located on sur rounding reservations. Attention is also called to the great necessity for more day schools.

TOGive Chinese a Chance
 To Pull Together
FACILITATING PEACE
A Proposition Upon Which the United States and Russia Are Agreed. The Silence of the Powers Regard ing the Note of the United States Respecting Ii Hung Chang Be gins to Be Embarrassing.

Washington Aug. 3O.-The United States government having acted on the Russian proposition as to the with drawal of troops from Pekin, is now quie tly waiting for a response Ito notes which have been sent to various repre- sentatives for presentation to the pow CTS. Judging by the rate of progress made in the preceding negotiation several days and perhaps weeks may pass before all these replies are re- ceived. According to their formal eX- pressions, all of the powers are agreed upon this one point.
 They do not desire to enter upon a formal war upon China. The United States government is trying to bring about this result. For the moment it finds itself side by side with Russia, whose earnestness cannot be qUes toned at this time. The object. now in view is to bring about a situation in China that will admit of the beginning of ne gotiatiOns looking to the re-establish- ment of order and the cessation of hos tilities, with an assurance of prOtec- tion to foreign life and property. After that the negotiations may touch upon other questions that remain to be set tied.
 I, is with this object that Russia has suggested a withdrawal from Pekin in order that the Chinese government may resume the reign of power for the Chinese people, b5ing guided by eXter- nals, are not apt to yield fealty to a government not in possession of its own capital. The United Skates gov ernment has been earnestly champion ing the cause of Ii Hung Chang from precisely a similar motive, namely, a desire to speedily rehabilitate the Chi nese government in order that it may carry out it's express desire to settle lhe difficulties which' nave arisen.

THE BOARD OF TRADE PLAN
Chairman McCOwan's Report on Wat
 CT Storage.

Some months ago the Phoenix and Maricopa county board of trade ap- pointed a committee to investigate the Watec supply of the Salt River valley and to l@pOrt upon how it could be best Increased. Col. $. M. McCowan was made chairman of the committee and was delegated by his coll agues to pre- pare the report. The report is very exhaustive document. beginning with the earliest history of irrigation and covering the history of irrigation in ths territory. After a consideration If facts which have painfully obtruded themselves upon the people of this val ley in recent years. the report proceeds to the discussion of various plans for increasing the water supply. of which there are four: By dirlcl appropria- tions; by cedinG the government lands; private enterprise and capital; the voting of bonds by the county.
 The last one is the one now under more immediate cOnside ration and it is viewed by Chairman McC0wan from all sides. He opposes corporate control of the water on the ground that a cor pOratiln would burden the peoTle with all that the traffic would bear. He ac- cOrdingly suggests the bonding of the county for a sum sufficient to buy the Tonto Basin reservoir site and ithe eX- isting system of canals The report ad- mits that an objection to the plan may be it's immensity. The canal system. it is estimated. could be purchased for $4 900. .OGO. The cost of the site and construction of dam would be ap- proximately $2, 2,5OO, 900 more. The re- port continues assfollows:
