OLD TIMER KILLED
John Bartlett, ST., Thrown From Wagon and Crushed Beneath
 Wheels.


 John Bartlett, ST., was killed by being thrown from his wagon and run over near the Tres Amigos mine in the Gro Blanco district Monday. He was hauling a load of lumber to Gro Blanco when the accident occurred, and was accom- panied by his seventeen-year-old son, George.
 While going down a steep hill the brake on the wagon gave way and Mir. Bartlett was thrown for ward on top of the horses. He fell under the animals and was trampled upon, after which the heavily loaded wagon passed over his legs. The right leg from above the knee almost to the ankle was crushed to a pulp and the left leg was also broken In addition to these injuries his body was badly cut and bruised from the fall and from contact with the hoofs of the horses. He lived for about three hours after the accident, but did not regain consciousness.
 As soon as the mishap occurred the son, George, ran to the home of Mir. ]. E. Mechanism, about three quarters of mile distant, and the injured man was taken to that place on cot. There he was placed in wagon for removal to Gro Blanco, but died on the road, near where the accident occurred, 1, while passing by that place on the way to Gro Blanco.
 The funeral was held at Gro Blanco Tuesday, evening at five o'clock, and was attended by al- most every one in the little village and those living near by, who had heard of the fatality.
 MT. Bartlett was about 70 years old. He was one of the pioneers of Arizona and was well known throughout this section of the ter ritory. He was one of the old timers who had earned with their rifles the right to live in Arizona, in the days when that right was vigorously contested by the various tribes of Indians. In those days Mir. Bartlett was known as man of mettle.
 Since the Indians gave up the struggle, John Bartlett has been one of the peaceful, highly respect ed citizens of the territory, who numbered his friends by the hun dreds. Each and every one of them will learn with regret that he has met with so violent death after having reached the venerable age of three score years and ten.
 Mir. Bartlett is survived by three sons and three daughters. The three daughters, one of whom is married, reside at Tucson and the three sons at Gro Blanco..

MUST FACE GRAND JURY.
William Schuster Charged With Grand larceny and Bond Fixed
 at $500.

William Schuster was arrested Tuesday night on a charge of grand larceny, preferred by James H. Henley. manager for the Hays Mining, Milling & Lumber com pany. He was charged having stolen from the Vera No. mining claim, in the Nogales district, about sixty sacks of ore, valued at about $60 He was examined be- fore Justice of the Peace Gildea Thursday afternoon and was bound over to the grand jury under bonds of $500
 Mr. Henley testified that he visited the Vera No. i claim. which is about six miles from Nogales, May $, in company with A. M Conard, and that he found Schus- ter at work on the claim; that the latter admitted having taken ore from the claim and shipped 1t to Nogales, to the Pellegrin ware house. Witness said he demand ed the ore and Schuster gave him an order on Pellegrin for what he had shipped to town, about sixty sacks. Tine order was shown to Pelegrin and witness was told he could have the ore whenever he cared to take it.
 Assayer Pellegrin was called and told of having made an assay of the ore that showed value of about S15 and afterward making another assay which show ed values of about $50 ton. The second assay included lead and copper values, and the first assay did not. From the latter assay the value of the ore was set. Here there was considerable talk be- tween the opposing counsel, Mir. Duffy for the territory and Mir. French for the defense, as to whether the assay value or the market value of the ore should be considered in the charge of grand larceny. The testimony cf the as- saver that the market value of the ore would be about S3 per ton in Nogales. or about $22 per ton laid down at a shelter, not deducting the treatment charges, the defense held, refuted the charge of grand larceny, there being only about two and one-half tons alleged to have been stolen. At the $3 es- timated market value the ore al- legged to have been stolen would have value of about $7, and the defense held that the market value of the ore in Nogales was the real value. 4 motion to dismiss the case on the assayer's evidence was made before the defense introduced any testimony, but was overruled.
 The accused testifying in his own defense claimed that he had been given permission by Mr. Con- ard to work the claim. He ad- mitted taking ore from the claim 1 in question, hut said it was only 1 665 pounds and that the remain der of tue ore for which he had given Mir, Henley an order was from claims owned hy himself, but that he gave the order because he did not want to have any trouble.
 Mir. Conard denied having given ! Schuster the permission alleged
 Schuster is prospector, about sixty years old and an old timer

AE WANTED TO DIE.
"Billy" o'Brien Drinks Laudanum, but Dr. Purdy interferes Suc-
 cessfully.

Billy" OBrien swallowed enough laudanum Tuesday evening to end his earthly troubles, but Dr. Purdy, summoned by friends of the would be-suicide, interfered and spoiled his plans.
 It was clearly no bluff on O'Brien's part. That he meant to quit Nogales via the death trail is certain from the manner in which he went about it.
 He entered the Palace saloon be- tween seven and eight o'clock Tuesday evening and asked for d drink. Before drinking the liquor he poured something out of a small bottle into the glass and drank it with such apparent unconcern that those who saw the act at first supposed he was taking medicine. He then turned and walked out of the saloon.
 The vial, which he had dropped after emptying it's contents into the glass was picked up and the men present saw that the bottle had contained laudanum.
 B. ]. Whitesides at once sought Dr. Purdy and the latter started a search for O'Brien. It was learned that he was seen to enter a hack after leaving the Palace saloon and drive across the line to Nogales, Sonora. The doctor, accompanied by George Spindle and James Schultz, entered another hack and followed. In a sporting house in the Ranchito district they found O'Brien. He was leaning forward on the bar, his head resting on his arms, and was already in a stupor. He was lifted into the hack and taken to Browns lodging house, where the doctor worked over him till two o'clock the following morn ing, finally overcoming the effects of the poison.
 When revived the young man expressed regret that he had not been permitted to die and intimat- ed that he would finish the job later.
 A search soon disclosed that he 
 had another bottle of the deadly liquid with which to finish the job" and 1t was taken from him. Friends remained with him all day Wednesday and "Wednesday night. Thursday morning they furnished him with ticket tC Benson and some money and he leftttown. His destination further than Benson, is not known. O'Brien came to Nogales about three or four months ago, and had been tending bar at the Palace saloon till about two weeks ago He was discharged two weeks agc for neglecting his work, having been drinking freely and quarrel ling frequently. Three weeks age today he participated in two bal room fights, in the latter of whicF he was so badly beaten up that h, was unconscious for q couple Q 1 days. Since then he has engaged lin two glove contests in tn, Ramirez theater across the line
