KILLING RESULT
 OF AN ACCIDENT W. L. BagIey'S Death Was Not
 a Murder AUTHORITIES so CONCLUDE Great Excitement at Hook Hollow Slope, Near Warner Mines, Where it Was Thought Negro Killed
 Young Baeley.
so CONCLUDE

In the opinion of Chief Deputy Albert Stratford, after a careful investigation of the case, William Luther Bagley, aged Drug company. Killed himself accidently early yesterday morning at Hook Hollow mines, a deserted slope about one mile from Republic, formerly known as War ner Mines According to Chief Deputy Sheriff Stratford, and the other deputies as we'll as Coroner Paris, who investiga- ted the case, the theory advanced that young Bagley was murdered by an un- known negro is exploded.
 Chief Deputy Stratford, accompanied by q deputy, returned last night from Re- public in a private conveyance Shortly after tho killing was reported at the sheriffs office yesterday at noon Chief Deputy Stratford. Deputies J. A. Cad dis, Morgan Kerr and J c. Bagley, and John T. Shugart were dispatched to the scene of the tragedy.
 A negro who is supposed to be a miner was discovered early yesterday morning coming from the smoke house of J. Blew ins carrying with him some meat Blew ins attempted to halt the fleeing negro and the noise attracted the attention of Bagley and several others who joined In the chase. It is believed that the negro went into the deserted mines, left there the articles he had stolen and then made his escape.
 When Last Seen Alive.
 Accompanied by Van Purvin and an- other young man, Bagley entered the mines and this is said to have been the last seen of him alive. The county ofh- cials think the young man, while in crouching position in the mines, aecden- tally fired his revolver. The bullet en- tered the right side, just under the last rib, coming out just below the left shoul- der. The coat of the unfortunate young man was burned, which goes to prove that the shot was fired at close range
 The deputies found three hams and side of meat, as well as a pair of ladies' shoes in the deserted mine. It Is sup posed the shoes were taken from the Crocker Mountain eommlssary of the Pratt Coal company, which was burglar izer Wednesday night. Chief Deputy Stratford thinks the deserted mine was formerly a thieves den.
 Posse of Citizens.
 For fear that crime had been com mitted and that the fugitive was still in the mines, posse of citizens was placed on duty all of last night guarding the entrance to the place.
 Bagley, who bore an excellent reputa- ton in his community, was a graduate of the Birmingham public schools and also of a local business college.
 The funeral will take place this after noon.

 In the answer the defendant admits the issuing of the checks but he de- nie5 that any money was delivered to him for his use and benefit" To says that no money figured in the trausac- ton at all but thct the only coasidera- ton he received for the checke was ccr- tain ivory chips used in the games

 WANTED NO kEEPSAKES.-A month ago an old man by the name of J. A. Jacobs. a resident of the terri tory for many years, committed sui eide. It was learned from papers found in his pockets that he had a sis ter by the name of Henrietta Keen living in London, England. After the burial of Jacobs the coroner wrote to her informing her of the death Of her brother He also informed her that he died penniless and that the residents of Phoenix had contributed to the eX- penses of his burial. The coronor also wrote that he had in his possession several articles that she might value because they had been her brothers. Yesterday the coroner received re- ply. Mrs. Keen was very sorry to hear of the death of her brother. Her grief on that account was hardly greater than on account of her inability to re- fund the money that had been paid for his burial Regarding the trinkets she said they would be of no use to her and that the Coronor might burn them.
 HE ONLY WANTED HIS OWN.- Maria Hernandez. who is always in trouble herself, or else is getting some body else in trouble came, before Jus tice Burnett with a cOmplaict yester- day. She said that her house had been buTglariZed the day before, lot of bed clothing taken and also 8 in solid cash. She said that the crime had been committed by Antonio Lara. Lara was found easily. He told story which threw great deal of light on the case. He said that he and the woman had been living together for some time. He had furnished the house, paid the rent and bought all the provisions. He was a working man, and he had expected that by this arrangement he would find his meals ready when he returned home In stead of that he always found Miss Hernandez absent or drunk. He de- termined to break of this unsatisfac- tory relation. but the woman would not let him have his clcthing. < part of it she kept in her trunk. Knowing that she would be away from he house day before yesterday he went to the house and took the precautiou to take witness with him. He got the bed clothing and found a pair of his trous- CTS. He saw no money and he did not believe there was a cent in the house Upon this statement the court not only dismissed him. but sent an officer with him to assist him in getting possession Of his property.

HARD TO DEFINE RADrUM.
Prof. HalIock at an Appraisers Hearing
Has 70 Give II Up.

The question whether or not radium is
| a crude mineral and as such entitled to
admission free Of duty came up at an APP
praisers hearing at the Government stores
| In Christopher street yesterday. The Amer
lean Express Company had imported for
| ii. Lieber, a chemist, rs miligrammes OF
| radium bromide, valued at s1,028. The
importation was assessed at rs per cent. ad
valorem duty. Mr.. Lieber protested on the
ground that radium was crude mineral.
The hearing was before Appraiser Wilbur
F. Lunt. Ex-Appraiser Col. j. B. Wilkin-
son was counsel for Mr.. Lieber. The Govern
mant was represented by A. H. Washburne.
Prof. William Hallock Of the department
OF physics at Columbia appeared as a wit
to make any unqualified statement as to
the orudity Of radium Mr.. Lunt harricaded
himself behind Webster's Dictionary. The
professor bombarded him with opinions
as to the difference between metals and
bromide was not necessarily found in nature.
When Mr.. Lunt asked If IT was crude
mineral Prof. Hallock answered:
Il am unable to answer That question,
i am afraid, because as l understand 1t
you use the word crude in a different
sense from that In whioI1 we use it. With
us 1t means mixed with Impurities. The
importers evidently use the term to mean
raw material out Of which other things
can be made
From your standpoint Is II crude min
eral?" Prof Hallock was asked.
Il should not call 1t q crude mineral
concluded Prof. Hallook, because 1t Is as
pure as we can make II. "
The importers counsel asked II the def
milton Of crude" as elementary would
affect Prof. Hallock's answer.
sOf course, was the reply, "in one sense
radium bromide Is not elementary because
1t is compound, but 1t is elementary be-
cause It may be used in other things
The protesting importer will submit a
brief, pending receipt of which the APP
praser reserved his decision.
