Walters turned the next shot at him, the i bullet striking his head just back of and above the ear, passing through the head, cutting a circular hole in the glass, crossing the street, passing through a show window at Escalada's and falling inside the store Conn fell in the doorway, where he died shortly afterward. The murderer then turned his at- tention to George Spindle. and fired point blank at him, at close. range. Spindle put out his hand turned the gun aside, and the bullet sped beyond him, hitting Olivas in the head, the bullet spenetrating his brain. causing death some hours afterward Spindle's face was slightly powder marked and his hat rim creased by the bullet. Stepping over the prostrate form of Conn the murderer walked out into the middle of the street, placed the muzzle of his smoking revolver to his own head, and with single shot ended his earthly ex- istence. He too manifested signs of life some time after the fatal bullet was sped on it's fateful mis sion
 Sheriff Fowler was immediately notified. Justice of the Peace Grant being out of town, no in- quest was held, there being no pro- vision made in the statutes for such a contingency and the sheriff took charge of the affairs.
 The body of Walters was taken to Marsh's undertaking establish ment, interment being made early in the afternoon.

FrIghtfaI Tragedy.

ttA NOtNA EtiFVAti1E NklAtfE iii1i ever happened in Nogales and one of the most frightful in the history of Arizona occurred in the Palace Saloon here shortly after four o'clock yesterday morning result ing in the killing of NJ. M. Conn. proprietor of the Palace. J. J. ICowboy" Johnson a professional gambler, and Modesto Oliyas, a Mexican monte dealer employed in that resort, by Fernando Walters. a California Mexican, who was also q gambler. The murderer then left the saloon going out into the street where he placed his deadly weapon to his forehead and put an end to his own earthly exist ence. The wholesale killing which was all over in about a minutes time was done with 45 Colts re- volver. The murderers aim was perfect, all of his victims being shot through the brain as was also himself. All of the parties con- cerned lived for some time after the occurrence. About twenty five persons witnessed the horrible deed.
 There appears to have been no sufficient motive for the perpetra- ton of such wholesale slaughter and 1t was probably done during a period of frenzied madness and mental depression. Walters was an extremely sensitive individual and appears tc have made much of apparently tritiing grievances.
 He had been in Nogales but a few weeks having it is stated come here at the request of Cowboy" Johnson with whom he had been quite friendly elsewhere. He had an interest in the restaurant re- gently started in connection with the Palace saloon and had also been conducting the stud poker game in that resort. A few days since, however, he had been de- tected in using some marked cards and Conn took the game away from him, granting the privilege to Johnson. The latter who had the reputation Of being great "josher" is reported to have bantered Wall ters . great deal over the manner in which the game was taken from him, and Walters being of such a sensitive makeup took offense thereat, telling him he had better discontinue his talk or there would be trouble. This circumstance ap- pears to make up the only con ceivabIe motive for the crime
 Walters went to the Monte Carlo saloon early Thursday evening and engaged iii a game of stud poker with several other men. He played in bad luck all night, losing nearly S100, and just before four o'clock Friday morning, he ceased playing and left the Monte Carlo, going directly to the Palace.
 There are various conflicting statements as to the details of the occurrence, varying as to the sequence in which the three vic tims of the shaver met their fates. and from the statements taken by representatives of THE OASIS as given by number ofeye witnesses, the following is presented as pro. bably an accurate description of what occurred:
 Walters seated himself at one of the tables, and ordered a meal, which was served him and eaten. 4 ham sandwich also ordered he nut into his pocket. where it was

Mich Goats

In Bulletin No. 68 issued by the
Bureau of Animal Industry. this
rather startling information is OBJ
tanned: For the year 1892 the value
OF goats in the German Empire was
$l1, 100000. For the same year the
value of great products, milk and
goats slaughtered for their meat
was $39, 9,OOO,O 900.
1t is officially stated that the
value Of goat products of Switzer
land for the year 1901 from 354.b43
goats Of all ages and sexes was $8,
900, 900. Switzerland is small
mountainous country about one-half
as large as Indiana and one-six-
teenth as large as the state OF Texas,
and besides her goats, raises horses,
cattle and sheep in goodly numbers.
German literature is full of in
stances of goats yielding four and
five quarts of milk daily. The aver
age for Germany and Switzerland
being about three quarts. 1t is a
common thing for goats to yield
annually Item times their body
weight in milk and have been
known to yield as high as eighteen
times their weight in milk.
Goats milk, like the milk OF cows,
will be favored by the kind OF feed
the animal consumes, hence the
necessity for proner food. Cows
fed on onions or turnips caanot or
will not give good favored milk
neither can q goat that has to gel
its living from refuse be expected tt
give fine favored milk, but wher
properly fed the milk is OF the 6nes
favor.
The period Of lactation is from
, FIVE to seven months and may b.
r prolonged by breeding. Two goat
