CHEATED TIVE GAll0WS.
WAS SECOND ATTEMPT.

Juan Chavez, who was In tn" coun.
ty Jail on the charge OF murder. ended
his life yesterday afternoon and Is be-
yond the earthly power OF man to con.
Wet him of the crime, says the TRIM
dad Advertiser. Chavez has been con.
fined In the county Jail since July /.
being charged with me murder OF AIDE
laide Valdez. Shortly after 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon he was walking
around his cell and appeared to be
feeling quite .1eli. lie has been com.
planning of sickness for the past two
days and has been atte=oed by DR..
Blair. About 4 o'c.ocK one OF the at.
tendants saw Cnave7 lying on his
bunk and was so still that the atten.
dant called to him. Receiving no an
swer he entered the cell and found
Chavez Just Dare,y breathing. A phys.
iclan was hurriedly summoned but be.
fore his arrival. Chavez was dead.
The body was taken to the under
taking parlors of X. G. sipe & Sons
and an autopsy was held last Lignt by
- Dlair. The stomach was removed
when the cause of Chavez's sickness
and death was discovered. Every.
thing pointed to arsenic poisoning, tho
stomach plainly showing that he had
taken quite a quantity OF the slow,
but deadly poison.
There is no doubt hut what Chavez
committed suicide as this was his Sec
ond attempt Some three or four
weeks ago he took a dose of poison
Si,h suicidal intent. but was discov.
cred in time to save mis- life Arsenic
is a slow poison ana he probably took
the dose couple Of days ago How
he secured the poison In the county
jail IS a mystery as ne has been close
ly watched Since his former attempt
at suicide.
On the nigLt of June 80 last wo-
man named Adelaide Valdez was
found in an old adobe In the west
part OF the city with her throat cut
from ear to ear. She was dead some
time when found and the officers the
next moning arrested Chavez and an
other Mexican for the murder At the
inquest the Mexican who was arrested
with Chavez told the whole story OF
how Chavez murdered the woman.
The details OF the murder were horri-
BILE as portrayed by the witness and
created considerable OF a sensation at
the time.
Chavez ever since he has been con-
fined in the Jail has been respondent
and would not talk of the murder. He
was undoubtedly guilty and preferred
death to a court trial.

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE
Henry Watterson's Courier-Jouruai
Announces a New Policy.

Announces q New Policy.
During three decades the Louisville
Courier-Journal has stood unalterably
and conspicuously before the public as
the representative of the great COM
monality of the people against the
Robber Baron. seeking through the
accretion of ill-got money to steal
away the peoples liberty by stealing
away their franchise rights. and the
reaay-tool Of the Robber Baron. the
bandit politician, masquerading as a
statesman and a patriot the better to
serve the ends OF his master. In full.
filling This high function 1t hac some
times had to go fast and sometimes to
go slow, sometimes TO cry onward"
and sometimes 10 cry halt" some
times ID drive at the root of things,
and sometimes TO drive ahead; but
never changing the direction OF its
movement and always true to the I'M
DERIVING principle Of its being, ex.
pressed by the simple demand for
THE greatest good to the greatest
number"
With the advent OF the new year,
that Is on the first OF January, 1908.
the Courier'Journal began campaign
from which It looks ior commanding
results. and the better to reech the
objects IL has before II, the twice.a-
week edition was changed to a once-a.
week edition, returning 20 the old
Weekly Courier-Journal. which for O
quarter of century was literally q
political bible to millions of Ameri.
cans who knew they could trust both
Its prescience and It's disinterested-
ness.
The new Weekly Courier-Journal is
modern In every respect, and is a pa.

haps Diamonds May Be Found.
Hon. A. J. poran. who recently re.
turned from a trip to the Navajo In.
dian reservation In Northern Cocoon
ino county. during which time he trav-
eied for seventy-fve miles over what
is known as the Painted Desert. which
he says Is a most interesting section.
containing large deposits OF copper.
which are at present out OF the mar
ket, owing to their isolated location,
says the Flagstaff Sun.
In this region he passed through q
petrifed forest. Some OF the trees
we're one hundred feet In length and
intact.
They are nos agatized as are those
in the much advertised Arizona petri-
fed forest Here and there are piles
of petrifed splinters that are slightly
agatized.
The country gets Its name OF Paint.
ed Desert from many mounds Of va
rious colored mud scattered over It's
surface. The countrj Is covered with
this mud shale and sand stone. There
is very little lime. Beyond Coconino
Point the sand stone strata seems to
have been pushed back TO make way
for an open valley, on the other side
OF which the sand stone formation
towers to the height OF a thousand
feet or more. In this open valley Is
located the petrltied forest. and many
of the petrifiea trees carry a high per-
centage OF copper.
The altitude is 1000 feet above sea
level and immense deposits OF cop
per ore lie on top OF the sand. The
ore averages 10 per cent copper.
Mr.. Doran went there In the inter-
ests OF the White Mesa Copper Min
ing company and the Pittsburg COM
pany. The former company has
force of men ut work trying to deve;-
op sufficient water for teaching
plant. Mr.. Doran says the formation
Is similar to that OF the South Afri-
can diamond fields. and that recently
two valuable diamonds have been
found there by transfers. Mr.. Doran
brought back with him some pieces
of petrified wood and some pieces OF
jasper. One Of the pieces Of petrfed
wood shows plainly that the wood was
half rotten before the process Of turn
ing TO stone commenced.
Mr.. Doran says the country must
have been a garden OF tropical growth
before the visitation OF sand and mud
and change OF climate turned II into
the fantastic wonderland which II Is.
