THE MURDEROUS MATED
Undoubtedly the Slayer of Both
 Walsz and Ross.

There is no doubt at Gila Bend that the Indian, Mateo, killed by F. G. Caruthers of Gil1 Bend on Saturday was the murderer of both Charles WaIsz and Bruce Ross, the pumpman at the Maricopa tanks.
 Walter Kibbey. who had been sent by the district attorneys office to GiIa Bend to conduct the examination of the suspect arrested at Mohawk valley in connection with the murder of Walsz. returned last night. He was at Gila Bend at the time Of the killing Of the Indian and also assisted at the in- quest.
 Sheriff Truman of Pinal county had received word from another Indian that Mateo was the murderer of Ross. The Indian described him to the sheriff as bad Indian with three fingers miss ing from one hand, and he also tolG him where he lived on the reservation north of Gila Bend. When the sheriff got to Gila Bend he had difficulty n getting 9 team to take him out to the small reservation three miles north of town. At last MT. Caruthers offered a team and his services in making the arrest
 He and the sheriff went out 10 the reservation together ard son of MT. Caruthers and another man followed | on horseback. The party had learned in which wickiup Mateo lived, but they l found it empty. But they saw the h. l dian in the distance going in the direc- | tion of another wickiup and they 1 started toward it. When they arrived | there they found several Indians ther- and ordered them to come out They l all came but Mateo and denied that he i was inside. The officers talked the mat
 ter over with them, but they insiste 1 that they knew nothing of Mateo, ana all of them went away but one. He | finally admitted that the Indian was there. but as soon as ne made the | admission he, too, went away
 I The sheriff and Mir. Caruthers called
 to Mateo 10 come out. but got no reply The sheriff started in after him. He had already put his head into the hoie
 at the bottom of the wickiup before II Nr. Caruthers knew what he was go. ing to do. He caught him and dragged
 him back, saying: You'll get hurt:

 burn him out. but the wickiup wa.

 fort was a failure.

When the fine soaking rain of two or three weeks ago fell upon the broad acres Of this valley the people were more than grateful for the evidence that the drouth that had continued Tor several years with greater or less se- verity was broken, and that a new era of prosperity was dawning.

 The present programme of the state hood bill is for Nelson, also a member CT the committee on territories, to toi- low Dillingham;. Nelson win be sue ceeded by Burnham and Ke1n. After these members of the committee other "enators will speak in opposition to the pill. Beveridge, chairman Of the com Eittee. will close the debate lie will also be heard frequently during the course of the debate on points as they come up. The senate will adjourn on Saturday for the holidays, and nor even the friends of the bill express COZ fidence of action on the measure before that time.
 Senators Hanna and Beveridge say the republicans must consider the statehood bill in caucus to which Mir Quay replies that it is an Unneard-or proposition to talk of changing q de- claration of the republican national platform in a caucus of senators.
 A deadlock in the senate is predicted. for the lght is to be strongly waged upon both sides.
 It is known that Quay Will not yiclu, but the republican leaders of the sen ate think some among the twelve or fifteen republican members who have allied themselves with him will not re- main steadfast when pressure Is brought to bear upon them.
 The programme, as it is understood by both sides in the controversy, is this The debate will continue for several days, when a proposition will be mad 10 lay the measure aside and consider something else. It is anticipated this will be voted down. and the vote will show the statehood advocates in the majority.
 Then Hanna and Beveridge will make their proposition 10 consider the meas ure in caucus, and Quay and his friends will doubtless refuse to attenI the meeting.
 Hanna has some influence with west ern senators like Hansbrough and other men. it Is believed, can be forced or leL to abandon Quay in return for prom ised support for schemes of their own

 Among the tracks that had been found near the ruins of the Walsz house were some that led in a north ernly direction. They were followed for some distance, after which they turned east in the direction of MarI- copa. At last they disappeared, and d closer investigation showed that the wearer had removed his shoes and crawled over the rocks barefooted. The shoes taken from the feet of Mateo fitted into the tracks nicely.
 The examination of the suspect proved only that he could not have committed the murder. He was a trav- cling tinker who has been frequently mentioned in accounts of the murder of Walsz. He had been in the vicinity of the house of Walsz about the time the murder must have been committed but his trail which had been closely roi- lowed showed that he had not been at the house.
