DEATH CAME SUDDENLY
To 4. w. Carr Probably a Victim of
 Poison.

Albert w Carr died very suddenly yesterday afternoon at his home in what is known as the north wedge building at Five Points. The indica- tions are, that his death was from poison though that fact had not beer fully established last night Further there is a prevailing opinion that it was a suicide though there are con trary rumors ahoat in effect that he was the victim of ptomaine poisoning.
 Mr. Carr was first taken sick at a store across the street from his home and was taken home where he went into convulsions, the spasms continu- ing until death relieved him. In the absence from the city O; Coroner Bur nett Justice Robertson was notified and he impaneled a jury consisting of C. A. Terhure. A. C. Cree. F. w.. Chamberlain. William H. Black. J. A. Porterie and A. D. Leyhe. He also summoned Dr. II. A. Hughes and the district attorney. The remains were viewed and turned over to the under taking firm of Mohn & Doris and such preliminary Investigations as could be were made after which the inquest was continued to 10 o'clock this morning at
 
 When the coroner and those he had summoned arrived at Five Points they found pr. Plath and pr Bell present both of whom said the general symp toms indicated poison. Later in the day an autopsy was held by Dr. Hughes and though his report will be made officially only to the coroner it Is understood he found the stomach empty and said that if the man had been poisoned it was by strychnine or some other drug that had entered the blood. It is said that the dying man when first taken sick told differing stories. one being that he had eatan poisoned sugar and another that he thought he had been poisoned by eat ing canned fsh. There is also a story that he called his daughter to his side and told her that he had wronged her but soon it would all be over.
 MT. Carr was sixty-one years old and native of Maine. He came to Arizona about eight years ago. About two years ago he made visit east and on his return it is understood he had some difficulty with his wife who left him and went to California. His daughter. a girl about sixteen years old, remained here with him and ne has two sons somewhere in the valley. He was employed for d while at the Arizona insane asylum.

A JEROME TRAGEDY
Mexican Killed His Mistress and Com-
 mitted Suicide.

Francisco Taco. Mexican. sent a bullet crashing through the brain of Cowboy Mag" his mistress. at Jerome at half past four o'clock Sunday morn ing and then committed suicide, says the Prescott Herald He shot five times, although only three bullets took effect, two in the body and one through the head. The bullet causing death entered under the right eye and emerged al the back of the head. Taco had been living at Jerome with the woman for the past two or three years, and had attempted to commit suicide less than a month ago. by taking poi son. Dr. Coleman attended him at the time and pulled him through after a hard fight. The cause of the crime is attributed to jealousy. The revolver from which the shots were fired is an old fashioned 45 caliber. the bulldog pattern.
 Previous to coming to Jerome both Taco and the woman resided in the southern part of the territory. He came to Jerome about three years ago and the woman followed six months later. They had lived together ever since.

SALT RIVER VALLEY
Model of It Will Be Exhibited at the
 St. Louis Exposition.

Professor A. H. Thompson of the United States geological survey, who arrived here on Monday. will spend several weeks in the valley between here and the Tonto reservoir basin. His mission is one destined to be u vast benefit to this part of Arizona as an advertisement. Mir Thompson is one Of the oldest men connected with the survey having been with Major Powell on one of his two notable trips down the Grand Canyon in the 70's.
 Professor Thompson has been placed in charge of the surveys exhibit to be made at the St. Louis exposition and a part of that exhibit is to be devoted to Illustrating irrigation methods as well as proposed water storage enterprises for the reclamation of arid lands. Pro lessor Thompson says that after searching through the data on file in the offices Of the survey he is convinced that Mesa City and surrounding coun- try is the finest and most typical irri- gated area he knows Of and as the proposed Tonto dam is one of the things the world wants to see and hear more about he has decided to make his models a reproduction of the Salt river irrigation and water storage enter prise.
 There will be three models. One will be of the Tonto dam. the second one of the box canyon below the dam and the third showing a typical irrigated area will be a reproduction of Mesa City and surroundings. These models will be of plaster ar some substance similar to that of the model of the dam at the board of trade room, and will be placed on exhibition in their respective relationship to each other and the reservoir filled with water which will be run down through the canyon and diverted to the lower mod el where ditches headgates, canals and all will be shown. The scale of the lower or Mesa model will be twenty one inches to the mile which will give the section of country reproduced in great detail It will in fact be a min iature Salt River valley from the dam to the cultivated fields and in great detail. And it will be a working model. one that shows how things are propos- ed to be done here in the future. As an advertisement of Arizona it will be invaluable and Mesa will be particular ly bensfited
 MT. Thompson will drive round the nortion of the valley west and north of Phoenix today, spend Thursday in Mesa and Thursday night h. will leave with Engineer Olberg for the dam site where he will be for some time working out the details of his en- terprise. He is recognized as one of the best topOgraphers in the world and has had much experience in the work now assigned to him.

KEEPING PROMISES
Phoenix Appreciates Always When
 Promises Are Kept.

Every time you read about Doan's Kidney Pills you are told they cure ev- cry form of kidney i'll, from backache to urinary disorders. How are our promises kept? Ask any citizen who has tried the treatment. Ask the man who makes the following statement:
 H. T. Diehl, miner. of 15S E. Alameda St.. Tucson, Ariz., says: My experi- ence with Doan's Kidney Pills proved that they are everything claimed fer them. In the month of February, 1902, I first felt a slight pain across the small of my back directly over the kid neys. probably caused by a cold set ting in those organs. It was not seri- ous. but it struck me if neglected it might lead to future trouble, and read ing one night in a Tucson paper about Doan's Kidney Pills my daughter went to Martins drug store for a box. l took them as directed and when I had com pleted the treatment the pain in my back disappeared. I was so surprised at the prompt and efficient relief given by Doan's Kidney Pills that I recom- mended them to a number of my ac- quaintances and even went so far as to mail box to a friend of mine living in Orc Blanco who had kidney trouble =
 Just such emphatic endorsement can be had right here in Phoenix. Drop into the Brisiey Drug Co.'s drug store and ask what their customers report.
