 A Phoenix dispatch to the Los An geles Herald says Peter Donnely, an old timer of the territory, committed suicide near Briggs, Yavapai county, on January H. He was sick with the grip for number of days and the ] despondency caused by bis illness is the only reason given for his rashness. A man named Van, who was in Don nelly's employ found him dead on re- | turning from an erraud to a nearby camp. The deceased had shot him self with I5-calibre Colts revolver, evidently placing the weapon close to 1 his mouth, as 1t was badly burned and the lower jaw and neck were broken. A coroner's jury returned verdict that he came to his death by his own act. Donnelly was s2 years old and possessed many cattle and horses.

 District attorney Ling and Deputy Sheriff Marst returned from Big Bug yesterday, where they were called on account of the shooting of old man Schaaf by Denny Miller. Miller was brought in and lodged in jail. Schaaf is not expected to live. Instead of being shot with buckshot as at first reported, charge of slugs consisting of a chopped up silver quarter and chopped up bullets was tired into his back as he was running away from Miller. The cause of the trouble was the building of placer ditch across the road to Miller's land. Miller com manded Schaaf to fix the road and Schaal told him that he would build him another road. When Miller ap- ppeared with his gun Schaaf tried to esdape by running, but was brought down with d charge of slugs. These are the facts as reported to the Cour- ier.-PreScott Courier.

 w. H. Black who returned yester- day from a trip to the Bradshaw mountains brought news of a little event that has the flavor of other days in Arizona. Some four or five days ago a lone highwayman. afoot, and heavily armed, held up the stage that runs between Prescott and Crown King Then he quietly pursued his way to Columbia camp where he saun- tered into store and drawing a bead on the country merchant, helped him. self tO what little coin there was in sight. The robber shortly after with drew as quietly and unostentatiously as he had come and was lost in the rocks and hills of Yayapai. It was not learned whether or not there were passengers on board the stage or who was robbed, but it is generally be- lieyed the total clean up of both rob- 1 berries would not exceed $50 There seems to be no clue to the identity of | the highwayman. and so far as Mir. | Black knows there have been no ar | rests. While coming along the road | he passed d man sitting on rock at l the side of the road that he thinks luite likely was the outlaw. but he made no effort to molest MT. Black, and his judgment was based solely on the fact that he had rifle and two ,ix shooters, was on foot and seemed .o be alone. Republican
