PROBABLY A SUICIDE
A Man Whose Body Hung for a Year
 Near Jerome.

F. F. Young returned yeste~day morning from trip of several weeks In the northern part of the territory. He wonders more than ever at the variety of climate which may be found within range of few miles in Arizona. Last week while he was at Williams 1t showed on the adjacent mountains and the snow remained a refreshing spec tacle. The snow was there when he left but when he struck the Salt Riv r valley he thought that it must have melted by that time for 1t cid not seem possible that two such climatic eX- tremes could exists within the same 'geographlcal subdivision.
 MT. Young was at Jerome at the time of the finding CT a man hanging to tree a few mics from that place.

 It was at first thought that the man had been shot. There were sev5ral holes in the well pres erved and palcA- ment like skin, but closer examination showed that they were worm holes. The body was also hanging so near the ground that if the legs had be n stretched the feet would lave touched it. From the circumsanc es it is thought that the man committed suicide.

BASEBALL TODAY

Word was received yesterday that she Prescott baseball team would ar rive this morning heading a company of thirty or forty rooters, more or less and that they were coming down for the purpose of doing things today The game at the park this ntterncon ought to be live one and those who have an ounce of sporting blood in their veins and any town pride, should turn out today and join the local fans in giving the bcys encouragement.
 The game will be called at 3: 30 sharp and it should be fast all the time They will have 10 play fast to keep from be- 'ng overtaken and overcome with the heat. Jock Blinkcorn will do the um- pire's stunt and it is said in his favor that he has never yet been killed um- piring a game. The game has been well advertised and as there is no ad- mission charged for women and the grand stand is free. it is expected there will be a large attendance. Following is the line up:

4 PAPAGO REFLECTION
Smallpox Reported From the Gila
 Bend Reservation.

Word vas brought to the city yes terday that smallpox had broken out on the small Papago Indian reservation near Gila Bend and that three Of the Indians had died. It was also said tha t there are six cases at the present tin e. The first intimation if the epidemic came in a letter 10 the office of the sh r. fir. Later M. H. Murphy, in charg, of the Maricopa Ieservatior south of the city, called on the city authorities and the board of supervisors and rcport5 d the exisre'.ce of smallpox among -hs Papagoes.
 He said that there had been a good many Pepagoes on the Pima and Mari copa reservations, but they are b ing expelled as rapidly s possible. Agent J. F. Alexander. of Sacatcn- has ap- pointed six additional Indian police tD carry out the order of expulsion and 10 keep the Papagoes off the reservations under his control.
 There is said to be litt,e danger of an outbreak of smallpox among the Pimas ar Maricopas. Most of the younger In- dians have been vaccinated and most Of tke older ones have had the disease in the numerous epidemics that have visited the reservation from time to time.
 There is not a great deal of appre- hension that the disease will be carried to Phoenix. Few Papagoes visit this city and the authorities of the Ieserva- tions having taken steps to keep them from communicating with the Pimas and Maricopas. the danger has been re- duced to Q minimum.
 There is always smallpox among the Papagoes, especially among those living in Pima. county near the Mexican line, though epidemies of the disease among them are not often reported. This kind of weather is supposed to be very d S couraging to smallpox.

RICH MINERAL COUNTRY
An Experts Favorable Opinion of
 Pinal County.

Messrs. c. E. Nicolls of Denver and F. M. Dickman and John Gray of Chi cago were in Phoenix yesterday, hav- ing returned from a short trip to the mineral districts of Pinal county, and left on this mornings train for the east. Mir. Nicolls is d mining engineer in the employ of the Guggenheim Co, MT. Dickman is a member of the firm of Dickman, Mckenzie & Potter of Chicago and is himself a consulting en- gineer and MT. Gray is travelling mere ly for pleasure and to see the country.
 From the business connections of the gentlemen in the party it was assumed that their visit was one of considerable importance to the industrial welfare of Arizona, and perhaps it is, but when in tervie wed last evening they declined 70 state the nature of it, or whether it in- dioated anything in the way of invest ment or projected new enterprises. Mir
 Nicolls has beer in the employ of the Guggenheims for many years as a min ing expert and in that capacity spent a couple of months in the mineral fields of .Pinal county, going from here to Denver only a few weeks ago. Ar irving there he was ordered back to the coal field in the San Carlos strip east of Kelvin, as a guide and travelling companion to MT. Dickman, who is a coal expert It was his business tc show them the coal fields and further than that he has no information. He says, however, that so far as he knows the Guggenheims are not directly 'n- terested in coal enterprises here or anywhere else. MT. Dickman was ask ed for story and he said he would gladly talk if he had anything to say,
 but he didn't so that is all the signifi- canoe that can .Ie gathered from the visit of the experts at this time so far as any new enterprises are concerned.
 Speaking of the Pinal mining dis tricts generally, however. Mir. Nicolls said that in all his travels he had never seen finer looking mineral country than Pinal county, in the districts sur rounding Kelvin. and he had spent two months in carefully prospecting it..

We are al fond of fighting-th is,
