more Hnent the Mystery.

The mystery as to the cause for tho
suicide Of Miss Myrtle Joseph in Aztec
recently, is as yet undetermined, ac-
cording to the statement OF the Ottawa
Herald, published at Miss Joseph's old
home That paper, after reprinting THE
INDEX article Of April 6, comments as
follows:
"The dead girls relatives here have
accepted az true the statement Of the
death and its cause, published in the
New Mexico paper They have corrob-
oration for the story from the relatives
in Durango, and are certain OF the iden-
tity OF the young man here who is
charged with the responsibility FOR the
poor girls death. He is member Of a
COED family, and holds a responsible
position"
In aaother column is found this item
apparently an attempt on the part Of the
paper to shield the Ottawa man respon-
sible for the girls sad ending;
"a letter received Friday evening by
relatives Of Miss Myrtle Joseph from
Colonel Williams at Aztec, New Mexico
giving additional facts regarding the
girls death, indicates that the man here
who was suspected Of responsibility toi
Miss Josephs sad death may have, ano
probably has, been uniustly suspected
Miss Joseph did not, as was sensation
ally announced in a local publication
leave letter accusing anybody with the
responsibility for her condition"
It is plain that there's something
wrong with the Ottawa paper. How
ever, this community has no further in
terest in the unfortunate affair, and WI
leave the case as it stands.

Dispatches say that the house and sen
ate at Washington have passed the bill
opening the Navajo reservations in New
Mexico and Arizona to mineral entry.
The lands thus opened are very rich in
minerals, especially copper. Many per
sons from Colorado are interested in
the newly opened lands. Both houses
agreed to conference for the adjust
ment Of settlers claims on the reserva-
ton and to permit mining north Of the
36th degree of latitude and west Of the
lllth degree of longitude. Representa-
tive Bell, who has had charge Of the bill
in the house, held back the adoption Of
the conference report until he ascer-
tanned that the Colorado mining men
having claims and prospects on the res
ervation were in the district opened by
the amendment An effort was made
Friday to have the bill engrossed and
presented to President MsKinley for
signature before his departure, but
without success, and the formal opening
of the reservation will therefore be de-
layed several weeks. 1t is stated that
the portion Of the reserve to be opened
contains rich mineral prospects and a
