 \ tragedy, dark fn its nature and mysterious in aetail. occurre ID Tombstone canyon last night about 9 O'clock Jose Maria lies dead in the morgue, two kniIe wounds in his body to show where the assassin's blaae struck him down. No motive can be ascribei for the bloody deed. Two Mexicans are in jail implicated in the crime.
 Last night at the hour named "Tex. Campbell, who lives just above
 warren Laundry. saw three Mexicans. evidently under the influence of dri.--., standing together in conversation near his home. Suddenly one of the men was struck On lhe head with a beer bottle. Whether this was the dead man has not been determined. At the next moment two of the party lei. their companion lying in the road anu made off up the canyon. An examina- tion showed that the man was yscun4- cd, and had but a few moments to live. He never uttered word while alive that would possibly throw any ! light on the identity of his assailan,, and expired a few moments later. 1 A telephone message to Justice Me Donald's office brought Officers Doyle 1 and Casad to the scene of the mur- i der. Casad was the first to reach the scene, and at once set out up the can !on, overtaking one of the men who r-as implicated in the killing. The prisoner acknowledged that. he was one of those who was in the party when Maria was killed. but denied that he struck the blows that deprived the victim of his life. He stated that the man who committed the ieed was a | Mexican. and was in tfe employ Or Charles Hull al Don Luis. He had on wet hat, supposed tc have been that Of the deal man, who is presumed to lave been the one struck with the { beer bottle. No knife was found on him. He was taken to ,he branch ! ounty jail and locked up.
 Doyle afterwards overlook another Mexican near the Williams residence, further up the canyon. who acknowi- edged that he was in the employ ol Hull. but denied that he was the guilty man. He was locked up in the city jail. No bloodstains were found on him, and beyond the fact that ne is the only Mexican wno was seen to have made his way up the canyon, there is nothing to- connect him, wl,l the crime. No knife was found on he second arrest. but Officer Doyle feels sure that he, is, the man wanteu. ] The dead man cane to this city, but three days ago, from Fairbank where he worked as a wood hauler, and was ! in the employ of a Chinaman He bears the reputation among his coun : NA' AANh VI OSAhS n htii "oi1AiiS duO steady faborer, quiet and peaceable Why anyone should desire to take his life is unknown. Maria appears to be about 37 years of age. It is not known whether he is married or single, bu; among the Mexicans who were ac 1nainted with him the impression is that he is single. By one of the Mexicans arrested il is claimed that he had three compan- ions, but this. is not corroborated by the story of Campbell, who states that ! there were but three in the party at the time of the killing. The. officers look upon this statement 10 the effect that there were four in the party as a subterfuge to protect the real culprit, was the second man arrested.
 Both will be given a hearing today Coroner M. J. Brown immediately sum. moned jury 10 inquire into the cause Of death. and the inQues> will be iield today at 10 a. m.
 The wounds on the dead man have the appearance of having been inf1ict ed with small blade. One is in the upper part of the abdomen, and is un doabtedly the one which cause death The other is un1er the left arm. and was evidently intended to reach the heart, but struck rib and could no, have been fatal.
