uERE is a home which is pleasing
and attractive in appearance and
somewhat unique in arrangement of
the kitchen, pantry and dining-room.
When one builds a house, it is quite
natural that his or her individual
tastes and ideas should become mani
fest both in the arrangement of
rooms and the exterior appearance,
and the opportunities for the display
of good taste in such matters are al
most unlimited. This house is large,
well arranged and picturesque. There

There is a tree that grows in Mexico
called the ''chijol,' or stone tree. 1t
is of enormous proportions, both in
circumference and height. 1t has a
number of branches spreading out
widely and carrying leaves of a yellow"
ish green color. The wood is extreme
ly fine and easily worked in a green
state. It is not given to either varying
or splitting. The most remarkable
thing about it is that after being cut
the wood gets gradually harder, and in
the course Of afew years it is absolute
Iy petriied, whether left in the open
air or buried in the ground. From this
timber houses car be built completely
fre-proof, and would last as long az
though built Of stone.

MURDER AND SUICIDE
A Terrible Tragedy h Tucson's Ten
 darloin.

The latest tragedy to be enacted in Tucson was the murder on Saturday morning about 1:30 o'clock of Mollia Conrad by q gambler named Horace B. Allen, who immediately thereafter committed suicide. The two had been living together for some time and ac- Ccrdins to their friends had of late quarrelled frequently. Aliens chief grievance was that the woman had formed the habit of going out at night without his knowledge and against his wishes.
 Sunday morning he entered the room shortly beIore the shooting and had partially disrobed when he sent three shots from 45 calibre revolver into the woman's heart, then shot himself in the head. There was also a bullet wound in one of his hands. presumably made by one of the bullets that pene- trated the wcman's body.
 Allen was about 8 years old and had been a gambler all his life. He came to Arizona rom Colorado where he had participated in many bloody en- counters and was badly scared from former wounds.

THE BOARD OF TRADE
Annual Election of Officers Took Place
 Last Night.

The new directors of the board If trade met last night. fer the election of officers for the next year. Ali the directors were present except one and for the first time in the history of the organization there was absolute har- mony.
 E. r. Porter was elected president. IT, I. Latham. first vice president. and ". J. Kingsbury. second vice president. H. II. Price was reelected treasurer and l.. II. Hamilton, secretary. All these elections were unanimous.
 Plans for the coming year were con- sidered and when the meeting ad- journad it was to q special meeting next Wednesday night for their fur ther consideration.
 Thomas F. Dalton. secretary of the board of managers for Arizona of the international exposition to be held in St. Louis in 1903 was present and out lined the work of his board. He urged the board of trade to begin at once to arrange for the Maricopa county exhibit. Though Arizona s contribution will ba largely a mineral exhibit the display from this county will naturally consist almost wholly Of agricultural and horticultural pro- ducts. Secretary Hamilton was direct ed to open correspondence with experts in the business Of preserving fruits for display.
 The board of trade is In better shape now than it has ever been since its first organization. There is greater interest in it than there has ever beer before.

FRANKLIN ZIMMERMAN
Fortune Awaits Him if He Will Cor e
 in Gut of the Wet.

If Franklin Zimmerman is still living he is a very foolish young man. Not foolish for living but foolish for not coming in out of the brush and de CiGring himself.
 Marshal Kinney got q circular letter yesterday with a picture and descrip- tioH of him. from 2 man in Blue Ball, Pa who nas charge of an estate in which Zinmerman is interested He says he is tired of standing guard and wants the owner to come home and get his share. As q further induce meat he announces that since his de- parture i1 1893 another legacy has piled up and will be placed at his disposal as soCn as he can be located. Zim- merman was g years cid in 1893 when he went to the Worlds Fair in Chi cago. He told friends at the time that te was going to travel a little in the west before he returned and that he might get as far as California In 1885 he wrote home from Sioux City. iowa. for money, and a draft was sent to him. In due season the letter was returned and he has not been heard from since.
 When last seen by his friends he weighed 1S5 pounds. was of stout build. was five feet six inches tall, and had dark hair and moustache. His eyes were gray-blue and the left one was slightly crossed or turned in. He also was a little eccentric and had a slight impediment in his speech. If he is still living he certainly much be eccer- t;ic CT he would not let that money lay oacE in Pennsylvania rusting away. when there is 90 much in this world that could be bought with it.
 The guardian Of his estate and his friends are very anxious about him and offer a reward for information lending to the discovery Of his where abouts. II is likely that if he is living he is net aware of the accumulated wealth awaiting him and would be willing to contribute something himself to the man who shall discover him.

James eX- pressed himself as being delighted with the city and what he saw Of the valley.

END OF THE INQUEST
Upon the Babe of Thirteen I ear-0ld
 Sarah Morrell

The inquest upon tce remains of the babe of thirteen year-C cid Sarah Nor reH. which were found q week ago. buried in the rear of a house in Irvine addition where the MorrelI family used to live. was concluded before Acting Coroner Gray. The babe lived thir- teen days and died the week before Christmas. It was four months later that the irregular burial was brought to the attention of the authorities. There was a suspicion that the babe had been murdered and that suspicion has not been wholly dissipated. yet there was not only no proof of that crime but on the contrary there were certain circumstances indicating that death was the result of natural causes.
 It was shown that the babe had been i'll and that the little mother could not care for it. The jury accordingly found that death resulted from neglect and failure to secure the services of a physician.
 There have been three sessions of the coroner's jury. Most of the time was spent in trying to settle the question of paternity. The girl and her mother confused the situation with a great variety of stories. At one time she said she had been attacked by tramp. at another time she implicated q crowd of boys. and finally she settled down upon the story of lover, an American boy called Charlie. She did not know his surname though she had known him four months. She said h. was a frequent caller at her home. but her mother swore she never saw him.
 The authorities believed yesterday that they had come into information which would solve the problem. They believed that what had been suspected could be proved. the girls step-father. Fayette AIorrell. vas the father of the child
 There were four new witnesses. Tha first was Mrs. Morales who was pres ent at the confinement Of the girl She knew nothing. The next witness uss Frank Wagner, an uncle Of the girl. He said that the boy Charlie was a myth. He believed that Mor- rell was the guilty man and he said that he had accused him Of having il- l licit relations with the child as long as ! eighteen months ago. Morrell's reply was a laugh. lie said that subse- | Quently Morrell told him of an incident at the house amounting to practical admission of his guilt.
 1 Two ether witnesses testified. They knew nothing of themselves. but they
 said this unnatural reIa ton was the. | talk of the neighborhood.
