A pInA SUICIDE
A Dead Body Found Near PantanO
 East of Tucson.

The body of a stranger by the name of James Hart was found lasr Friday a half mile from the railroad track not far from Pantano, a station few miles east of Tucson. It was evidently a case of suicide and was so pronounce ed by a coroner's jury.
 There was a bullet hole through the top of the head which had been in fiicted by a A calibre revolver of the Webley make, an English type. Several letters were found on him which established his name as James Hart. In addition to these, money amounting to s11.fO-a $1O bill and some silver-was in his pockets. The letters gave no clue to where he came from and no information as to his rel atives. if he possessed any. A card ly- ing on the ground near the body, which had been torn into small bits but which was pieced together by the coro- ner, was found to be an introduction from Carl Behn of Tombstone, for merly with the New York store in this city, to Superintendent Clausen of the Copper Queen Mining company, so his occupation in life was probably that of a miner.
 The body was dressed in neat and well kept clothes of fair quality. A ticket from Benson, dated the 31st, reading; to Maricopa, and from there to Phoenix, and evidently issued from Bisbee, showed where he was bound originally, although he claimed to | have been put off the west bound train at Benson on that date, as he had evil dently been a nuisance while drunk. When last seen at PantanO he was quite drunk, according to the testi- money of those who saw him, and his deed is supposed to have been the re- suit of hard drinking. A watch with filled case" was also in his vest pocket, and it was said that when he was last noticed he had a suit case but the latter article, together with his hat, could not be found this morn | ing.
 The left hand was quite bardly pow der burnt. He looked to be man of
 45 and it is thought he had been at Prescott recently by the tone of one | of his letters.

wIcKEEBuRc,S PROTEST
Miners and Business rfen Take Action
 Against Joint Statehood.

At meeting of the Business Men and Miners association of Wiclenburg on January 5, 1905. the following res olutions were adopted:
 Whereas the territory of Arizona Is threatened with jointure to that of New Mexico as one state, by the con gress of the United States;
 And whereas, by permission of con gress. Arizona has incurred Q. heavy bonded indebtedness for the purpose of erecting a fine capitol building, which would of necessity fall into dis use and decay, while now our capitol offices and parap phernalia, with up-to- date laws and rules, are ready and in good working order to carry on and conduct the machinery of the state government; that in jointure all of this systematically arranged work would become disarranged and useless, and to all intents, have to be repeated at great cost of time and money;
 And whereas the citizens of the ter ritories of Arizone and New Mexico have each a very different nationality, customs and language, rendering it inn possible to govern both territories as one state, without continual strife, dissatisfaction and state war;
 l And whereas, -tenths of the population of both territories are ab- | solutely, unqualifiedly and irrevocably l opposed to joint statehood under any

ThaLibeI Laws.

In his address at the opening of the New York assembly last We'd nesday Speaker Nixon called at tention to the advisability of amending the laws relating to newspaper libel, on the lines of the legislation which failed in the senate last year. after passing the assembly.
 The change proposed by Speaker Nixon is one which is eminently prop CT. The proposed law, while it would protect the rights of the public, would also remove the presumption Of malice. and would give the newspapers all that is asked-a square deal. The bill as presented last year provided that in case of the publication of an erroneous news item publishers would be given by publishing a correction in a prom inent and conspicuous position in the newspaper. It will be observed that the proposed law does not, in any measure, release publishers in case false statements are made knowingly and maliciously. No self-respecting publisher would ask for a provision of this nature in the law.
 It is but fair. however when an er- TOT of fact has been made unwittingly and with no malicious intent, that the making of immediate amends by con spicuous correction should remove the presumption of malice
