Arizona is $1.49. The receipts at the Phoenix postoffice for the past year to- tailed over $30OO0, which would show a population of approximately 20.e00. Tn II is hattering, but when the population is figured from the receipts during the months Of January 2Gd February the figures become even mere pleasing.
 Tn January the receipts at the local postofTice were $3e0O. The popu,e on shown by this figure is something over 2SO00. The receipts during the month of February totalled $31O0. showing a population of 24,S00.
 The reports of the rural carriers show that about 30C0 people are being served with mail by the rural routes. Tn g would leave in the city during the month of January over G5,000 pc pie and in February over 21,000. which is a population even the most sangu ne of Phoenix boomers have never thought Of mentioning.

IT WAS SUICIDE
James Phillips at Winters Wells Plan-
 ned His Death.

John Phillips, the keeper of the sta- tIOn at Winters Wells, whose dead body was found there on Monday, was not murdered as was at first suspect cd, but he committed suicide. His body was brought in by John Wiggins last night and is now at Mohn & Doris undertaking rooms. An inquest will be held this morning by Justice Bur nett.
 MT. Wiggins says that the death of Phillips was as clear a case of suicide as was ever seen. The, rife was be- tween the feet of the dead man and there was crOtched stick with which he had pulled the trigger. The charge had blown away the top of the face and head. It was that circumstance which made the man who found the body believe that the coyotes had eaten the head away. There was also found in Phillips pockets about $40. The dis coverer, by the way, was James Pauley, who left here on Sunday to work on some mining claims in the Harqua Ha- las belonging to John Agard. By the telephone message from WesseX an nouncing the find it was understood that the name of the finder was Collie. Mir. Paulie returned last night.
 Deputy Sheriff oscar Roberts went out to the station as soon as the news of the finding of the body was received, was expected back some time last night. He was detained at the station yesterday caring for about 800 head of the Winters cattle which had been left unguarded by the death of Phillips.
 Phillips came to Phoenix in what is now regarded as an early day. He was employed for seven years in the Bur ger corral and after quitting that place he worked at other jcbs about town

A DELIBERATE SLAYER
That Is What Frank hojado Tried To
 Be.

The preliminary examination of Frank Mojado, pupil of the Indian school who severely cut Chester John ny, another pupil, last Sunday, took place yesterday before Justice Bur nett and Majado was held to the grand jury in the sum of S1OOO. The examine tion brought out that Efojado had mur- der in his heart and that he believed that the killing of Johnny was a duty he was called upon to perform
 The boys had a fight in the school dormitory on Saturday night and Mo- jado was knocked down He took that as a matter of fact affair and said that he could not fight with his shoes off but in the morning he would be pre- pared to renew the struggle. When the boys met the next morning they squared off for a fight and Mojado drew knife. Johnny said. "Oh. no knife, no knife" and Mojado put his knife into his pocket Then they went out and it was the understanding of Johnny that it was to be another fist fight. But Mojado drew his knife again, made a slash at Johnny and laid the muscle of an arm open to the bone so that it Tapped over on one side.
 Mojado then went to the disciplinar- ian and told him that he had cut a boy. While he was talking Johnny came up covered with blood. The disciplin- ariaE asked for the knife and Mojado handed it to him. It had been newly sharpened and had an edge like a ra- zor. The disciplinarian asked why it had been sharpened and Mojado replied, ito fight" Mojado seemed to feel no animosity against Johnny. He merely took the view that by licking him the night before he had earned death and he was going to give it to him.

Chairman simmons was interviewed
at the station about the political sltua-
ton He said:
Under the circumstances we have
wen a great victory in North carroll
ma A light vote was cast; greatly
lighter h / expected. However. our
majority holds up very well. One in
teresting fact Is tina on joint ballot
We will have exactly the same majority
in the coming legislature as we had in
the last one. The fight BY Republicans
on the Waits law was made through
the legislative ticket. The result shows
that they absolutely lost, while we held
u own. In fact the Watts law ques-
ton gave vitality. and interest 10 the
campaign, but for it the vote would be
lighter on both sides. To the Eighth
district. which i do not concede to the
Republicans. / am advised that Black
burn boasted before the election that
five certain Democratic election officers
would vote for him in Stanly, and that
in that county there will be a surprise
for the Democrats. / am advised Ia
there are irregularities in that county,
which affect the substance of the vote.
You IA be sure these will be very
thoroughly investigated by state cleo

ARrFUL DoDGERs.
Two Men, Acting as Agents for "a
Grocery Firm of Chicago, Prove To
be Embczzlers.

The following is AXE from The
New Bern Journal Of yesterday IN re-
gard TO two swindlers who have been
operating in New Bern IND are thought
to have come to this city:
For some time past two men giving
the names Of Phillips IND Pratt have
been conducting a house to house can
vass soliciting orders for groceries
from the great mail order grocery
house of Loving. Brown & Co.. Of Chi
cago.
The prices on their goods were repu>
ted so low that the saving on these ar
ticles purchased was equal to so per
cent or more.
For instance they would offer sugar
at four and one-half cent per pound
when that price is less, than local
wholesalers can buy It for.
Flour and other staple groceries were
held at the same low rate, and atogeth>
er they offered a very tempting PROPOSE
ton to the economical h-ousekeeper.
They got Chris Roach interested in
their scheme and he paid their license,
advanced the money for the first install
ment and was to share a certain per
cent OF the proceeds. The goods came
and were partly delivered and the
money collected. The men however left
town without settling with Roach. He
is out a large sum of money on their
account
1t is said they went by carriage to
P~ollocksville and from there went on
he train to Wilmington. Roach has
sworn out a warrant charging the men
with embezzlement and has instructed
the police of Wilmington to arrest the
men # they are in that city. No tidings
of them have been received.

ASSYRIAN AND NEGRO.
Had Fight OH Market Street Yester-

Over the Right Eye.

There was a lively mixup on Market
street yesterday morning between VIM.
Simon an Assyrian, and Jud Newkirk,
a negro porter at r. R. Bellamy's rug
store, and as a result the Assyrian had
a badly dis1gured face.
1t seems that Newkirk went to the
store of the Assyrian and wished to get
a box he had, saying that the box was
taken from the yard in>the rear of Bel
lamy'S drug store and that he had no
right to it. Simon became very much
enraged at the negro and ordered him
to leave the store and when he hesitat-
ed about doing so he knocked the ne>
gro down and threw him out. The
Assyrian thinking his difficulty with
the negro over, got his wheel and start
ed to go to a magistrate to submit
Just as he was preparing to get on
his wheel he received a severe blow
over the right eye, knocking him to the
ground and for a few minutes render
ing him unconscious. He was carried
into the store and DIR. Russell summon
ed. to dress the wound. 1t was neces-
sary to take several stitches in the cut
which was a most painful one.
"A warrant was sworn out against
Newkirk and he was arrested by Con-
stable savage. His trial was to have
taken place yesterday afternoon before
Justice Fowler. but the Assyrian was
not able to attend the trial so the case
was continued until Monday and New
kirk placed under a $50 bond. New
