Fourth street. In the same window Is
chuckawala, squirrel and chipmunk.
The squirrel and monster have fight
nearly every day, but the bite of the
monster does not seem to seriously
effect the former. When bitten the
squirrel buries the injured part in the
soil in the cage and remains there for
some time. 1t has made some inroads
on the beauty of the monster and al.
ways appears to have the better of the
fights. The chuckawala is too quick

Deputy Marshal Templeman, who
went to Cataract Canyon to investi.

returned to Kingman last Sunday. He
says from the evidence obtainable the
killing was murder and that the mat.
ter will be thoroughly investigated.
The boy was shot through the head,
breast aud arm, and lying near The body
were five exploded shells. The mail
rider. who accompanied the boy from
the Canyon, stated that he loaned the
boy his gun to shoot rabbits and that
he then galloped on ahead few miles,
where he waited his arrival. The boy
not coming after the lapse of an hour

sources we learn that the boy was ac.
com panied by another Indian and 1t is
thought that it was this other Snpai
that committed the deed. There was
much excitement at the agency when
the Marshal and DR.. Perkins arrived,

rowed from the south part of the
county and Thursday several carloads
were received 1t will be but a matter
of a short time when all the machinery
in The mountains will have to be run
by electricity and a plant at this point
could easily transmit power at one
half the cost that a plant on the
ground entails. Fuel has to be freighted
to the mines at an excessive price and
the danger of shutdowns from this
cause are great. A combination of a
few mining companies could put in a
plant and greatly reduce the cost of
mining and milling.
