Doctor. Vanneman was summoned from Hermosillo, arriving early in the morning; and he at once pro- that death had been in- stantaneous. The doctor embalmed the remains, and a metallic casket was secured. all the necessary formalties with the authorities for exportation of the remains were arranged, and Monday evening the grief stricken lady, set forth upon her woeful return to Cali fornia, their home, where the re mains will be given sepulture at L O Angeles. At Tucson the bereaved ladywas met by brother and sister from Los Angeles.
 Mir. Barnett had been operating in Sonora about four years and was well known here. The &C., quaintance of TIE OASIS editor, very intimate of late years, goes back to 1884, when the deceased was treasurer, of Colusa. county, Cali fornia, the editor then being edi- tor of the Woodland Mail, in the adjacent county Of Yolo, !. In. 1885 MT. Barnett was appointed by Presi- dent Cleveland collector of internal revenue for the northern district of California, and. made his resi- dence in Sacramento. That post he. filled more than five years, be- ing retained by the administration of President Harrison, his Service being so satisfactory that there was general demand that he re- main in the office. But hisprivate business requiring his attention he insisted upon appointment of q successor. Three years later. up on Mir. Cleveland's second eleva- tion to the presidency, MT. Barnett was again called into public service, as chief clerk in the San Francisco mint, which post he the held full term of four years, retirlngin 1897, in which year he came to Sonora and accepted the superintendency of the Santa Rosalia gold mine in the Arizpe district. He afterwards developed the Cubanas copper property in the same district, and organized the company handling it. After closing out his interest in that Mir. Barnett returned to California for a couple of years but came again to Sonora about two years ago, and took in hand the ''Ta rasca," which he was very successfully handling.
 MT. Barnett, a native of Louisi ana, and about fifty-seven years O age. was a genial, kindly gentle
 man, a valuable man in every re
 lation of life. Competent and capa
 ble he was par ercellence a business

Robert Barnett Murdered.

where he has operated many years, were shocked and pained with the information that Mir. Robert Bar nett, general manager for the Tar asca Mining Company, had been foully murdered Saturday evening at the company's mines, about fif- teen miles northwest from Torres sta tion on the line of the Sonora rall way. From Mrs. Barnett, who passed Nogales Tuesday morning with the remains of her husband, TIE OASIS gathered the details of the shocking crime, to the culmination of which she was an eye witness.
 There had been systematic stealing. of rich ores from the mine, which MT. Barnett had taken steps to suppress, resulting in the. arr rest of several men the preceding day, and their incarceration in the jail at Torres upon the charge of theft. While not arrested, for want of evidence, a man named Preciado, who was doing contract work in the mine, is supposed to have been implicated, and is said to have made threats against the life of MT. Barnett.
 Upon the fatal evening MT. Bar nett had been engaged in writing in his office, and as dusk ap- preached he. laid down his pen and suggested to Mrs. Barnett that they go out for walk, to which suggestion she assented, go- ing to the adjacent room to pre- pare herself for the outing;. and while awaiting her MT. Barnett went to the store, at the end of the building, some thirty feet away from the door of the office, where he stood, leaning against the door post, conversing with the assayer, Mr. H. P. Grqbiu, who was in- side. At the very instant that Mrs. Barnett walked out from the office door, Preciado, the murderer sneaked up behind the doomed man, and at very close range dis charged a carbine, the bullet pene- trating the back and lodging in the heart. At the sound of the shot Mrs. Barnett looked quickly in that direction, and was shocked at seeing her husband tottering few steps toward her and falling dead, almost at her feet, with the malignant face of the murderer, a bope the smoking gun, just be- yond. Kneeling over the prostrate form of her husband she heard other shots which she learned afterward were fired by Mr. GEa bill and MT. Pearce, the, mine fore man, at the fleeing fugitive, who escaped however, unharmed, across the hills:ls, s ,et. s...,is a.ar When Mrs. Barnett knelt oysl her stricken husband the spark ol life had fled.

thority it is learned that Mr.. Cortelyou
is being seriously considered for the
head of the treasury department in Mr..
Shaw's place; that the matter is not

Friends of Secretary Shaw say that

they point out that he has done harder
work on the stump than any other cab

1908 his plurality was even less.

On the other hand his democratic OPP
ronent, w. l.. Douglas, revolutionized
campaign work. A large manufacturer
who had built fortune by means of
advertising, he conducted his cam
paign just as he did his business-he
advertised. He bought space literally
in every newspaper in Massachusetts
that would sell it to him at the regular
advertising rates. In these advertise
ments he printed his own portraits
and his own pledges.
The election Of Douglas as governor
Of Massachusetts, therefore is attribut-
ed to his faith In the value Of adver-
Using in the newspapers. The returns
in other respects, show that Massachu-
sets is overwhelmingly republican in
sentiment. The state gives Roosevelt
more than 5000 plurality, the repub-
licans elect eleven out of fourteen con-
gressmen, and the legislature, which
will elect two United State senator's,
is overwhelmingly republican.
But while Douglas gained heavily by
his unique campaign methods, there
were other causes which contributed
to Bates defeat. He was opposed by
the labor vote because Of his veto of
the overtime bill for women and child
rem factory employees, while his veto
of the bounty bill allienated the sup
port of the members Of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
