Attempted Murder and Suicide.

Al tell HllllutCS btlOIC clA Oil Thursday afternoon, the quiet and stiffness of this peaceful border town was broken by the sound of pistol shots issuing from the Tertulia Saloon, just across the line, and which immediately at tracted a large crowd to that place. Stretched out at full length upon the floor of the saloon lay would be murderer and a suicide, breath ing his last and expiring about three minutes after the shots were fired.
 The man, Mexican whose name was Luis Ambris, had attempted to kill another man and thinking that he had accomplished the deed, had turned the weapon on himself with the above fatal effect. Am bris was a resident of Guaymas and had been, until lately, em- ployed as ar operator in the tele graph office at that place. He was discharged few days ago by Senor Victorica, travelling inspec- tor for the Mexican Telegrafo Federal; because he was considered too unreliable and incompetent to remain longer in the government service. He became very angry at being summarily dismissed and swore vengeance, threatening to kill the inspector on sight. He left Guaymas and proceeded to Cananea with the evident expecta- ton of meeting Victorica there. Not doing this, he returned to No gales last Tuesday, registering at the Hotel de Paris, Ascertaining that the inspector against whom he had supposed grievance was at Nogales, he procured a 3S calibre revolver for the purpose of doing away with him at the earliest opportunity.
 He went into the Tertulia late Thursday afternoon and ordered a glass of wine. While the barten- der was preparing the drin k, Ambris espied the object of his revenge, sitting at small table near a window, reading a news paper. He walked right up to the inspector, who had noticed him entering the saloon and without saving word and fired shot at him at close range, which forum ately however, merely made a flesh wound on Victorica's cheek, the bullet embedding itself in the wall of the building. Without waiting to see if he had accom- plished his desire, Ambris placed the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and shot himself with the above result.
 The suicide who was not known here, was a man about twenty eight years of age, fairly well dressed and of good appearance. In one of his pockets was found letter addressed to the presidente of the town, notifying him of his intention of killing the inspector and steting his reason therefor. The authorities toook charge of the body, and one hour later Ambris was resting quietly beneath the soil of his native land. The wound on Senor Victorica's cheek was quite painful, but no serious effects were experience therefrom.

letter is as follows:
