 MURDER SUSPECTED-A tele- phone message to The Republican last night announced the finding of the body of a Mexican yesterday after noon in the suburbs of the town of Wlckenburg. The man had evidently been dead a couple of days. His name was unknown but he was recog- nized as a man who had been seen around the town more or less. On Monday night he was seen to enter the house of a woman of i'll repute named Bernardo Valdez and sometime later emerge from the same place with bloody wound on one side of his head So far as is now known he was not seen alive since then. The Valdez woman was arrested on sUs- picion of having fatally wounded the man or having knowledge of what caused his death. and her preliminary examination was set for today.
 DEATH OF JAMES JOHNSON ;r Brooklyn. N. r.. died here Wednesday night of consumption. He leaves q wife and three children in the east. MT Johnson was an expert linotype operator and was member of the Big Six" Typographical union of New York. For many years he was an employe of the New York Herald and was a man highly esteemed by his associates on that paper. He came to Phoenix few months ago when the ravages of his disease were too far advanced for him to longer live in the east and as long IS Ee was able to work he found employment on the Phoenix papers. He was helped in both a social and material way by his fellow craftsmen here and in New York the Herald chapel doing much for him and taking particular interest in his welfare. He was not only a good mechanical man but a thorough gentleman esteemed by all who knew him. It is likely the body will be taken east for interment.
 WIND AND RAIN-Last evening shortly before dark there was ser we're storm of wind and rain in the southeastern part of the valley, the northern end of the storm reaching Phoenix and a good shower falling for about half an hour. There was no great amount of rainfall here but it made the streets a little muddy last night and cooled the atmosphere a It. tie. It is reported that south of Tempe there was a very heavy rain and that the ground was covered with water faster than it could run off. The wind in that part of the valley was very strong and a. number of cottonwood trees were blown across the telephone wires so that telephone connection be- tween Tempe and Phoenix was dis turbed for a time. South of Temre the wires of the Western Un.on and the M. & P. Railway Co. were torn dcwn for nearly half a mile by trees which were blown across them and a number of trees were also blown across the railroad track. The M. & P. train left here last night on time but it is doubtful if it got through to Maricopa in time to make connections. A hand car and section crew were sent cut ahead of the train to discover any ob structions that might be found upon the track and remove them.
