A CASE OF SUICIDE.
Former Tempe Man Kills Himself in
Tombstone

About II O clock Wednesday morn
ing F. B. Austin, the well known mer-

Tombstone Prospector
Mr.. Austin was 65 years of age, and
during the past several months had
been in i'll health, a gradual decline
being noticeable by his friends Fol
lowing alife of business activity, he
decided to close his store, and had ar
ranged to give up his present loea-
ton within few weeks. His bust
ness interests did not come up to his
expectations. which, together with his
failing health, precipitated him into
detected and respondent mood, and
while in a fit of melancholy he walked
to the cellar of his store. and put an
end to all earthly vexations. the instru-
ment employed being IS ealibre re
volver, with which he fired a bullet
into his left temple. dying instantly.
During the past fev days, Mr. Austin
appeared more detected than ever,
and made vague hints which Indicated
that he entertained thought of self
destruction, and deliberately carried
the premeditated rash act into exeeu-

also interested at Tempe, and other
points in the territory and was well

Apache County Cashier
Makes Good Gun
Play
Is Shot In The Arm And
Assailant Makes
His Escape

Details of the attempted robbery of
the bank safe at Concho, Apache coun-
ty, were being discussed about town
yesterday. The attempted robbery
took place at an early hour on the morn
ing of the fifth of July, and but for
the plueky fight put up by Cashier
Candelaria, would doubtless have been
successful.
The cashier slept in a room adjoining
that in which the safe stood open, and
was awakened by the noise of the in
truding robber when he attempted to
remove pane of glass from a window
to gain entrance. The cashier upon be
ing awakened could see the man at the
window, and grasping his revolver went
outside and around the building so as
to get in the rear of the robber. When
quite near him Candelaria ordered him
TO throw up his hands, but the man
instead started toward the cashier,
drawing his revolver as he made the
move Candelaria then pulled the
trigger, but his revolver missed fire,
and a second attempt was equally fu-
tile. The robber then closed in on
4 Candelaria, and in the struggle shot
the plueky cashier in the arm. At
this stage of the struggle he broke
away. and hurrying to a horse tied
near by. rode toward the mountains.
In the struggle Candelaria succeed
ed in striking the robber on the head
with his revolver several times, bat
was not able to knock him down. a
mask soaked with blood was found
near the scene after the robber had
made his escape, and after general
alarm had ben given. So far as can
be learned there is little likelihood OF
running down the robber, as there is
no clue to 90 by. From Deputy I'm
tied States Marshal Hill, who is in
Prescott, and who was in Concho at
the time of the attempted robbery, il
is learned that the belief of the officers
there is that the robber IS the same as
broke into the A. and B. Sinister store
at Concho not long since, and succeed
ed in getting away with lot of plum
der. In that instance entrance was
gained to the store by removing q
pane of glass in the window, just a.
was attempted at the bank.
Candelaria. who is little more thar
boy, was not seriously injured by
the shot in his arm, the bullet max
ing only an ugly flesh wound.

British NobIenlan Has
Been ExiIed At
Phoenix
Receives a Legacy OF
$4,000 From Old
Home

An incident illustrative of the ups
and downs of members of the aristo-
craey of the old world came to light in
Phoenix last week.
For about three years man well
advanced in years, who always main
tanned grave courtesy and certain
polish of manner, but who has all the
time been utterly destitute, has made
his headquarters there. He has been
known as Neville, and in quest of the
means of existence he has penetrated to
the very dregs. One method he pur-
sued in the effort to make a living was
to collect tin cans, melt the solder off,
and dispose of this last commodity
He slept in a shack out by the
slaughter house, dressed in rags and
did about everything to obtain en-
ough to eat, save beg.
Saturday letter arrived address
ed to Philip 7. Neville, and the poor
eastaway received it. 1t contained a
draIt TOT SS.Uou- ana the information
that he had become heir to a consid-
cradle fortune in Ireland. The letter
was written by a maiden aunt of the
exile and was dated at Dublin. 1t
pleaded for his return home
It now develops that the old Phoenix
outcast is cousin of Lord Bray
brooke. British peer of the realm.
How he fell to the depths in which he
was discovered here is his own secret.
He has not Yet t;-ken the $4,000 or any
portion of it ont of the bank, though
it is subject to his order. He says
he viii not return home and does not
care to discuss his affairs with any
one.
The letter written to him by the
aunt. and which contained the draft
for $4,000, was couched in the most
endearing terms of affection and elo-
quently pleaded for his return

ARTFUL GALLOPS IN
FRONT Of HER
FIELD

NEW YORK, July s-Artful, the
three-year-old daughter of the great
Hamburg, won galloping in front of
her field from the start, and eased up
at the finish, carried the eolors of the
Whitney stable to victory today in
the Brighton Handicap, the richest
of all the purses for the aged division
of the racing year.
A length and half back of the win
ner came Ort Wells. the winner of
the Brighton mile, and a slight favorite
for the handicap.
Eight lengths farther back, the
great mare Beldame, beaten more de-
eisively than in almost any race of
her career, came home in third place,
thoroughly done.
Fully $4,000 people were packed
within the narrow limits of the Bright
ON Beach track, and the enthusiastic
manner in which they cheered Artful S
splendid victory indicated that the
bulk of the publie's money was placed
on the chances of the Whitney mare
, Betting was heavy today at all times.

ROOT-HART FIGH7
NOT 4 PAYING
AFFAIR

RENO, Nevada, July S-The Reno
Athletic Club lost money on the Hart
Root fight, but not such an amount
that it viii break the promoters. It
cost $4,000 to build the arena, and
$1,000 more to bring Jeffries here. In
the event that the club decides to hold
another fight, these two items won It
have to be met The present arena is
amply large enough to hold any cham
pionship bout, and the club now sees
that it made a financial blunder in
sending for Jeffries, for he was not the
drawing card it expected him to be.
In other words, he made no difference
with the attendance. People who
came to the fight would have come
without him. and a $1,000 or nearly
this amount would have been saved
if another had been appointed referee.
Jack Root might have decreased the
club s losses if he had arrived on the
ground earlier. By him staying at
Salt Lake City until the last minute, I'M
mistakably hurt the crowd. It gave
the impression that something was
wrong somewhere, which would not
have got abroad with Root on deck
early. If the club decides to pull off
another contest it will compel the prin-
cipals to report for training at least
two weeks before the time set for the
battle. which is no more than right.
Ex-Champion James J. Jeffries spent
Tuesday night in this city in bueking
the games of one of the largest and
richest gambling houses here, and it is
reported that he lost more than $4,000.
He made bets ranging from fifty to
several hundred dollars, and at times
more than $1,000 would be on the table.
Jeffries played his money as child
would play marbles and did not seem
to care when he would lose several
hundred in single bet.

(From Friday Daily.)

From the fact that the cowboy
races and other sports at the race
track resulted in a steer having to be
killed on account of broken leg, the
Apache Indians had a big feast on the
night of the Fourth. They either
took the meat of this particular steer,
thinking it was their due, or managed
to "dicker" for it at price that per
mitted of a special eating match.
Those who watched the Indians on
the evening of the Fourth state that
they held in camp ''big feed and
closed their engagement with the com
mittee by holding a fine spread. Meat
was. the chief article of the cuisine,
and although they made no extra feat
ure of the final public gathering they
made a night of it in dividing the
spoils of the steer-tying contest.
Beside being an interesting feature
of the program of the celebration
the Indians served a good purpose on
the evening of the Fourth. holding
the crowd far away from the fire.
works stand, or the explosion that re
suited with but minor injuries might
have been much worse. Had there
been no dance on the street to attract
the people at spot away from the
scene of the explosion there is little
doubt the fireworks stand would have
been closely surrounded by interested
spectators, and much worse accident
might have resulted.

about 435 o'clock it was ten minutes
later before the fire department
reached the scene. due to the fact that
there was delay in securing tele-
phonie communication with the elee-
trio plant from which the alarm is
sounded
Many of the members of the FIRE de-
partment were at the race track, and
this also added to the delay. Even
under the most favorable cireumstan-
ces, the VESSEL home could not have
escaped destruction.
1t is a frame building. and the rear
of the house where the flames started
was ablaze before it was discovered
by Mrs. Vessel and her sister-in-law,
Mrs. Annie Sims. They barely had
time to rescue the two children and
drag trunk into the street before the
entire building was a seething mass of
flames.
The adjoining residence to the north,
occupied by Chinaman, was seorch-
ed but the timely arrival of the fire.
partment saved it from obstruction.
Two lines of hose were laid, and the
water was soon playing on the flames.
The residence on the south is occupied
by Messrs. Hill and Woods, who con-
duet the Racket Store on South Gurley
street They are out of town, and had
left couple of friends in charge of the
house Before their departure they
told Mrs VESSEL and Mrs. Sims that
if anything should happen during
their absence to save certain trunk.
Although distressed and excited over
their own misfortune, these ladies re-
membered the request, and as soon
as they saw that their own home
could not be saved, they pulled out the
trunk in question, aud also saved con-
siderable furniture.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
1t was at first reported that the fire
was caused by frecrackers, but careful
inquiry among the neighbors showed
that none had been fired on the street.
Both of the burned houses, are owned
by D. Levy, and were only partially in
sured Mr. VESSEL, who is a porter at
the Palace barber shop, carried no in
suranee, and as he saved nothing from
the flames, he has lost everything that
he possessed. He is a hardworking
and thrifty man, and his misfortune
is one that causes universal sym
pathy in his behalf.
Possibly the house occupied by
Messrs. Till and Woods might have
been saved had not the hose parted at
the coupling at a critical stage 1t was
necessary to lay a new line of hose,
and several minutes elapsed before
this was accomplished.
The total loss of the two buildings,
with their contents, is estimated to be
about $500.
