Judge Wade Gone Home.

Judge Wade, of Wade's station
near Gilbert. died Friday, The
Judge was the pioneer OF the
mining districts east of town, hav-
ing opened up the first mine in
that section, the King Solomon,
from which considerable rich ore
was arastred ad milled. He had
long passed the four score mark,
and while always hearty for his
age, has not been well for several
months. Interrment took place
here Saturday and one of the last OF
the pioneers was laid to rest.
Judge Wade was about ninety
six year of age and came to Ariz-
ona in 1864 from Pennsylva-
MIA. He was quite feeble, owing to
his advanced age, but wss in his
usual health, seemingly till few
minutes before his death, with
occurred suddenly while he vas
sitting in a chair in front of his
cabin. He had been conversing
with O. number Of men, and none
of them noticed anything unusual
till he was asked a question and
failed to answer. when he was found
to be dead. He had no relatives
in Arizona and his body was laid
to rest in the Wickenburg cemetery.
Mr.. Wade was rather peculiar
in his ways, but was greatly res
pected by all who knew him, and
his title of Judge was acquired
through his service as justice af the
peace at Gilbert. He insisted on
keeping his valuables, at least his
valuable papers, near at hand, and
that fact furnished the opportunity
for villainous enterprise of which
he wrs the victim some months ago.
Some miscreant took advantage OF
his absence and carried away the
desk in his cabin which contained
his valuable papers, including titles
to some mining property. If the
papers were ever recovered the fact
has not been given publicity.

THATCHER WAS A FRAUD.
Made People Believe They Had Inter-
 est In English Estates.

Washington, December 29.-The state de- partment for some time past has been re- ceiving inquiries from people of moderate circumstances. and some apparently in poverty, as to the operations of some one known as George w. Thatcher who has addressed notes to various people repre- senting himself to be the administrator of vast estates in England. in which those addressed were informed they had an in- terest Some at least of those written to paid fees to Thatcher and received no interests in the alleged estates inquired of the state department for information as to the estates.
 The department referred some of the inquiries to the United States embassy at Londe. i. and Acting Secretary Loomis has just received a report from that office to the effect that Thatcher had been prose- cuted for fraud and forgery in London before the chancery court in 1899, had pleaded guilty and had been sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment.

SHOOT CASE WILL
 COME UP JAN. g
THE PERSONS WHO HAVE FILED CHARGES WILL BE CALLED ON TO PRolE THEM-SMooT'S AN sWERs WILL BE READY.

Washington, December 29-senator Bur rows, who is chairman of the senate com mittee on privileges and elections. which is conducting the investigation of the charges against Senator Reed Shoot of Utah, said today that the committee probably would meet on Saturday. Janu- ary g, for the continuation of the in- quiry. While Senator Burrows has re- ceived no notification from Senator Shoot he thinks 1t probable that the reply of the latter to the charges against him will be ready by the time mentioned. Senator Burrows would make no forecast of the proceedings of the committee. All depended, he said, upon the nature of the response.
 Before going to Salt Lake City, MT. Shoot said that he probably would deny some of the charges and admit others. but nothing regarding his course has been heard since the adjournment of con- gress for the holidays. If. Mir Shoots denial Is such as to challenge the au- thenticity of the information upon winch the accusations are based, 1t is the opin- ion of some of the members of the com mittee that the authors of the charges will be given an opportunity to prove and in that event there probably would be a quite general investigation into the present-day practices of the Mormon church with reference both to marriage and politics.
 The committee has. however, reached no conclusion looking to such a course, and of course Chairman Burrows declined to express any opinion as to it's probability. If Senator Shoot should admit the charges as a whole, which is not consid- cred probable, there would then be noth- ing left for the committee to do but con- slider the legal aspect of the case and de- eide whether the facts alleged, even if true, disqualified q man for a seat in the senate.
 The present indications are that the question will be before the committee for some lime
