The Needles Eye reports the drown
ing of Peter Mcguire in the Colorado
river, near Parker, last week Thursday
Mcguire had been visiting with miner
named McGraw, three miles farther
down the river to the Arizona side and
got their mail. They then began the
return across the river in boat, but
the swift current carried them some
distance below the landing. In bring
ing the boat up to land it at the usual
place they had to carry the tow line
around some bushes and in doing so
the line got away from McGraw, who
was doing the towing, and Mcguire,
who was in the boat, lost his head and
sprang into the river. He sank at once
and was not again seen. 1t is thought
that Mcguire committed suicide, as he
had been despondent for some time
past. Peter Mcguire came to Mohave
county more than thirty years ago and
at first resided at Signal After that
camp closed down he pros spected along
the Colorado river and for time was
very successful. He located the Black
Metal mine about twenty years ago
aud shipped number of thousand
dollars worth of ore from it. He was
quiet, unassuming man and his many
old time friends will regret to learn of
his untimely death.

| DR. Eugene Mays lecture in the
court house last Thursday evening
was full of thought and inspiration,
enlivened BY happy vein of
humor, anecdote and Incident.
"Come up Smiling" was the subject
and the genial doctors philosophy
offers an infall ible antidOte for
gloom, sorrow and melancholy.

fortune in having secured him for
this occasion.

premises of Leroy Lee, Esq, amt
stole seven fine chickens. In this
enterprise they displayed bad jndg-
ment, as Mr. Lee did some clever
detective work and soon landed
several of the youthful malefactors
in the lock up.
