4 MURDER MYSTERY
Which Wickenburg Authorities Are
 Unable to Solve.

Wickenburg, July S0.-tSpecial Cor respondence to The Republican)- Amelio Gomez, who was found guilty of trying to disfgure a fellow Mexican, Jose Montcya, with knife on the 18th of last April was fined $50 and costs, amounting to $90, in Judge Boyd's court Thursday. Gomez disappeared immediately after the affair and was recently located at Congress by Con- stable Ford and brought back by him Monday night.
 In the matter of the inquisition held on the body of the Mexican found dead near the santa Fe tracks in Wicken- burg Thursday, afternoon the coro ners jury found that his name was Bias Contreras, a native of Mexico, about 62 years of age and that his death was caused by a fracture of the skull just above and behind the right ear how and by whom inflicted they were unable to determine. Contreras came in Monday from the railroad con- struction camp near here and was going to Phoenix and then to the Ton to dam to work. He was drinking most of the day and about s o'clock in the evening was seen going to @a Mexican hose of illrerutc. When next seen, at about o'clock his head was bleed ing and he seemed to be in rather bad way. but the people who sawhim did not realize that he was seriously injured, and he probably wandered off to where he was found Thursday in very bad state of decomposition by some boys, who notified the authorities. The Mexican woman to whose house he was seen going last Monday night, testified that he had not been to her house at all. There is no doubt that he was foulIy dealt with, but who the guilty party is will probably never be determined.

A NOVEL CLUB FOR WOMEN.

An honor has been paid to Mrs. Mary r.. Wilkins Freeman. author of 'The Givers,' by her appointment as a member of the committee represent ing the United States in the New Ly- ceum Club, Piccadilly, London. The club is for women only and it is the plan eventually to have branches in Oth- CT countries. To have obained a situa- ton in Piccadilly itself is a triumph for the women described as "the energetic and powerful founders of the Lyceum." " One of the most difficult problems the club has had to face has been to meet the requirements of all its members, who include women of wealth as well as those who earn their own livelihood. That this problem has been met is evil dent in many directions. For instance, luncheon is served for as little as nine pence. or for three shillings. Or a member may dine for fifteen pence, or may dine herself and entertain one friend for half a sovereign. Music, art. "a fine information bureau and other features. beautiful or merely practical, will combine to make the club the fin- est womens organization in the world. Another distinguished American wom- an who is on the committee represent ing the United States Is Miss Jeanette L. Glider.

STRUCK A MINER
Suspected Man Becomes Involved in
 Trouble.

The police yesterday corralled an in dividIal who they believe to be of the mo goOd' type. He answers to the name Of J. w. Johnson, and it is the suppcsition that he is something of a sure thing man on a small scale, al- though the charge against him at the present time arises solely out of his hitting a miner in the face with his fist.
 Johnson first made his appearance in town about a year ago and after a short sojourn here, he was given his walking papers by the police and he departed for parts unknown. He was absent about six months when he again returned to the city. The police asked him to leave and he left. But about three months ago he returned and notwithstanding the request Of the police to find other quarters he has continued to reside here.
 Yesterday he was at the Star lodging house and there formed the acqua!nt- ance of a miner, who was intoxicated and who possessed quite a sum of mon ey. But fortunately the miner had 3l friend, a man named Marshall, who was not intoxicated and the friend un- dertook to warn him against Johnson.
 The latter then took hand in the proceedings and demanded to know what they were whispering about. Mar shall. the friend, answered by saying that he guessed he had a right to talk 10 the man. that he was a friend.
 Johnson thereupOn became 0buslve and struck Marshall twice in the face with his fist. Marshall promptly re- ported the matter to the police and Officer Moore placed Johnson under ar rest. He will appear before Recorder Thomas today for trial

A REMEDY FOR EPILEPSY

Out of deep sympathy for those suf-
ferers who are afflicted with epilepsy,
we wish to give the following informa-
ton:
"Our son suffered from this dreadful
disease from childhood, and had the
attacks daily, often as many as eight
and ten times day. All medicines and
doctors were of no use: his case was
considered hopeless. The more medi-
cine he used the worse he became.
Somewhat over two years ago we
heard of a doctor who had, after thir-
ty years of hard study, found cure.
AS hopeless as was our sons case, we
decided to try this doctor. One Of our
ministers who lived in the same town
with the doctor wrote us that he was
personally acquainted with the doctor,
and knew of the most incurable cases,
some of which were of thirty years.
and forty years standing, which had re-
ceived help and been enabled to enjoy
health thereafter. We put our boy un-
der treatment, and at once we were
aware of change for the better. The
first five weeks he had but one spell
during the week; then followed weeks
In which he had none. The last two
spells which he had occurred two years
ago: and otherwise his health is better.
Thanks to Godl Any further infoma-
ton will be cheerfully given to any
one who may inquire.

TINTING THE BUTTER
Food Department Tries to Find
Harmless Color for 1t.

The state dairy and food department
is conducting experiments to discover
a harmless coloring for butter. The
old style of coloring matter contains a
large per centage of coal tar, while that
generally used at present is an oil color.
that imparts an oily flavor to the but
ter.
While the experiments are taking
place no prosecutions will be carried on
against dealers and manufacturers
who are using the new oil color and
none will be instituted until the de-
partment can recommend a good color
ing matter.
1t has been reported that certain
medical society will institute suit
against Mr.. Mcconnell for not prose-
cutting the dairymen and dealers who
are selling milk whose percentage of
butter fat does not comply with the
law.
The law requires milk to contain 31s
per cent of butter fat. Commissioner
Mcconnell does not prosecute dealers
who sell milk containing only 8 per
cent of fat. The commissioner is of the
opinion that such action as the So
ciety recommends would be radical and
unreasonable.

is RICH IN HIS MIND
Painter Says He Has $4,000
in Bank. but Police Doubt 1t.

Alphonse Picard, painter residing
at 100 Thomas street, yesterday applied
to the police for aid in recovering $751;
600 which he declared he had deposited
in the Merchants National bank. AFTER
Capt. John Clark had conferred with
him a while he was sent to the county
JAIL where he is being held pending
an examination as to his sanity.
Picard called at the bank yesterday
morning and desired to draw out $62,-
600 which he said had been deposited
by him. He was told that no such ac-
count stood in his name, and he rep1ed
that he was being swindied, asserting
that he had lost the papers Whlch
would have proved his claim. He LETT
the bank in rage, and returned short
ly after and informed the cashier that
the bank would be compelled to pay
him $1,OOO,0OO for doubling his word
Again his demands were met with re-
fusals and he departed in rage
vociferously declaring that he could
have the whole bank arrested.
Picard appeared at the police sta
ton greatly excited, and informed
Capt. Clark that he had been robbed OF
$62 1000. In the course of a conversation
with Capt. Clark he recounted numer-
Gus large deposits in several of the St
Paul banks.
"Pve got $4,000 in the st. Paul Ma
tional bank, but I don't care for such a
small sum as that. 1 will give that to
you," said Picard to the captain.
"Oh, don't mention it, returned Capt
Clark II wouldn't care to accept such
trifie as that. Might as well keep II
yourself"

Found the Food That Saved His Life.
A good old family physician with a
life time experience In saving people
finally found himself sick unto death.
Medicines failed and-but let him
tell his own story. For the hrst time
in my life of 81 years am impelled to
publicly testify to the value of largely
advertised article and certainly would
not pen these lines except that, what
seems to me a direct act Of Providence,
saved my life and I am impressed
that it is q bounden duty to make 1t
known.
For years I kept falling with stom-
ach and liver disorders until ] was re-
duced 70 lbs. from my normal weight.
When got too low to treat myself, OF
nv associate physicians advised me to
nut nv house in order for / would be
quickly going the way of all mankind.
Just about that time was put on a diet
of Grape Nuts predigested food. Curl
ously enough 1t quickly began to build
me up, appetite returned and in 10 days
I gained lbs. That started my return
to health and really saved my life.
"a physician is naturally prejudiced
against writing such letter but in this
case am willing to declare 1t from the
housetops that the multiplied thousands
who are now suffering as did can find
relief and health as easily and promptly
by Grape-Nuts. If they only knew what
to do. Sincerely and fraternally yours"
