FATAL HEAT REGISTRATION
Young Woman Who Came Here Re-
 gently Died Last Night.

Miss Christie, q young woman who came here very recently from some town on the coast. died quite suddenly last evening, at the Grand View lodging house on Washington street. Dr. Plath who was summoned. though too late to dc anything for her relief, says he thinks it was well defined case Of heat prostraton. Special in terest attaches to the incident for the raason that it is the first time death has resulted here in case of heat prostratio that was unaccompanied by the use of liquors or other compli cations superinducing q fatal termina- ton.
 Miss Christie complained in the fore noon that she was not feeling well and crossing over to the court house plaza sat down for time on one of the benches. Returning to the Grand View she told Mrs. Schmidt. an elderly lady who was in charge, that she felt worse and would lie down for a while. Some time after Mrs. Schmidt heard Miss Christie breathing stertorously and be- came alarmed. She entered the room and tried to arouse her but could not Go so. Then she sent for pr. Plath. When he arrived she was already dying and her temperature was 10S12.
 Little is known of Miss Christie. who is believed to be about p or g years old, except what can be Sleaned from letters in her possession and which indicate that she has brothers living in Portland. Oregon. The body was taken to A. J. Bradley's parlors pending instructions for it's disposition.

Chicago. Aug. 20.-According to Prof. Frederick F. Starr, head of the an thrcpological department of the Uni versity of Chicago. cannibalsm among the savage tribes Of Africa. Australia and Greenland IS justifiable. The state ment was made before his class today in lecture. He explained to his au- dience that he would hot justify any one for killing man for food, but that in his opinion it was not wrong to eat him when dead.
 The Bushmen and Pygmies of Af- rica. the Fuegians and Holo 'Cudos of South America and the EsquimauX of North America" said he. are all can nibals. Some eat human flesh from de- sire and some from necessity. It is es- recially in the case of the latter that I say their cannibalism is justiffable- T. he did not eat the human flesh he would starve or at least go hungry, and think he is all right in doing as he dCa aS"

THE BISBEE MURDER
Further Details of the Attempted Robbery of the St. Louis Saloon.

Further details of the murder in the St. Louis beer hall at Bisbee at 12:50 Wednesday morning, taken from the l3isbee Review are as follows:
 Two masked men entered the place and at the points of two guns ordered the inmates of the place to throw up their hands.
 Before l.. O. Milless the roulette deal- CT could comply the taller of the two men commenced to shoot. He fired three shots at Milless, all of them talk ing effect. One entered the right arm just below the shoulder and passed completely through his body. The third barely scratched the old mans wrist.
 While the cold blooded murder of MillesS was taking place the other of the hOld-ups ordered Otto schmidt, the bartender to throw up his hands and come from behind the bar. Schmidt did as ordered and had scarcely stepped from his position than the man who held him up shot him, the ball from the robbers gun scratching the calf of Scnmidt's right leg and passing through the calf of his left leg.
 Tom Wilson. faro dealer in the St. Louis. had just closed up his game when the robbers entered and was pac- Ing up csllu UONH lIS llOOT- AS ly as possible he whipped out his six shooter and began a fusilade on the marauders who had by this time start ed to retreat. Whether he succeeded in wounGing either of them is not known, for the pair made good their escape.
 There were two others in the house al the time of the hold-up. They were Louis Peluca and Joe Dewitt. Peluca was seated at the table nearest the faro layout with his feet on the table.
 l.. O. Milless, the murdered man. is well known in Bisbee. He has been employed at the Shattuck saloon for q number of years. He a member of the local lodge of Eagles. He was not over five feet, six inches in height. He was probably about 55 CT 56 years of age.
 That the men who did the job got nervous there is no doubt, for had they been cool they could have gotten away without q shot being fired for the money from the games and the bar had just been put away in the safe for the night, except what little was kept i'l the money register for the dse of the bar.

WHOLESALE MINE HUNT
Upon Which C. If. Taylor Set Out
 Yesterday.

Mir. C. NJ Taylor. late of the office Of the surveyor general left the city last night JC engage in prospecting on an extensive scale in Mexico. He was accompanied by his wife and child who gill top in Tucson. Though Mr. Taylor has not definitely severed his conLt cticn with the office Of th- sur Veyor general. for under the civil ser vice rules he may reclaim his position at any time within q year, it is not likely that he will return to PhOPnix.
 H<- has entered into contract with the Mexican Mining and Developing company the greatest corporation for prospecting that was ever formed. tn- der the contract Mir. Taylor may form another company consisting of himself and two others O. which lie shall be the head. A certain district within which hc and his associates may 0per- ate is assigned to him. This district embraces the states of Sonora and Sinaloa. They may confine their work to prospecting CT the Investigating of mining properties and take options. They shall report to the head company what they have GOne and an expert will be sent from headquarters to look into the merits Of the property or the prospect. UTon his recommendation the company will undertake the promo tion of it. For every share of stock sold MT. Taylor and his company will receive one.
 The development company binds it. self to pay to Mir. Taylor and his as sociates S3,CG0 for expense money, 9 grub stake the size af which has never been heard of before Of this sum 5100G is to be paid down and the rest in payments of $200 a month which it is estimated will cover all possible ex- penses of the prospecting trip. It is not required that there shall be three members of MT. Taylor's company. but that IS suggested. He may form a company of four, CT he may undertake to do all the work himself.
 He received draft from the com pany yesterday for 1000 and he made arrangements at once to begin his hunt for mines.
 The Mexican Mining and Develop ment company already has several such organizations in the field although it has been in existence only q short time. It is backed by practically un- limited capital and it is expected that it is going to be q great factor in un- earthing the mineral treasures of tile Mexican republic.
