SUPPOSED CRIMINAL
coroner's Jury of Opinion That He
Died of Natural Causes.-Suicide
Theory Had Been Advanced.

The dead body of a stranger was
found in his room yesterday after
noon at the Park Hotel on Main
street. The cause of his death is be-
lieved to have been exhaustion from
tuberculosis. The man had no marks
on mis- clothing. and left no papers or
letters. so that it has been impossible
to identify him. He came to the hotel
about a week ago and rented a room
He paid for week in advance and
did not register He was reticent in
the presence of other roomers, and
did not mention his name. business
or whence he came.
Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock
Mrs, Amis. the landlady, went to the
room and found the door locked
She returned at noon, and still there
was no response to her knocking. She
had heard the man in the room early
in the morning. About three o'clock
she notified the officers, Marshal
Rascoe secured a ladder and had a
man climb to the window in the sec
ond story. The screen was torn from
the window, and the man was found
lying dead upon the bed. He had on
his trousers, but no coat
A coroner's inquest was held, with
the following men as jurors
j. B. Bailey, coroner. Jurors, Will
lam R. Bond, Charles Brown, John
w Gist, H. P. D. Howard, E. j. Bar

was examined by DR.. Skipwith.
The verdict of the jury was that
the man had come to his death from
natural causes. The body was remoy-
fort will be made by the officers to
establish his identity, as it is their
opinion that the man is criminal.
They are led to this opinion by the
mans extreme reticence and by the
fact that ne left nothing to establish
his identity. His face also bears
criminal characteristics. He has the
sa1low complexion and general aR-
pearance of a man who has been in
prison for long time. He had keen.
restless gray eyes. He was smooth
shaven; has large ears, prominent
nose and wide chin; hair sandy
brown; forehead high; fingers and
toes extra wide; height about feet;
weight about 155; age about 81; body
somewhat emaciated as though from
rayages of consumption. There are
numerous scars on his head and face,
that indicate that he must have at
some time engaged in desperate

Report on Stock Yards.

Washington, June 4-President
Roosevelt sent the following mes
sage to congress today: Il transmit
herewith the report of the special
commission whom l appointed to in
vestigate into the conditions of the
stockyards of Chicago and report
thereon to me. This report is of a
you now because it shows the urgent
need of immediate action by congress
in the direction of providing drastic
and thoroughgoing inspection by the
Federal government of all stockyards
and packing houses and of their pro-
interstate or foreign commerce. The
conditions shown by even this short
inspection are revolving It>is impera-
lively necessary in the interest of
decency that they should be radically
changed
Under the existing law it is who'll
ly impossible to secure satisfactory
results. l urge the immediate enact
ment into law of provisions which
will make the Department of Agricul-
ture adequate to inspect meats and
meat food products entering into in
terstate commerce and to supervise
the methods of preparing same and
to prescribe sanitary conditions un-
der which work shall be performed
81 therefore commend to your fav-
orable consideration and urge the
enactment of the provision known
as Senate Amendment No. 29 to the
act making appropriations for the
department of agriculture, commonly
known as the Beveridge amendment .
The report says that typ and a
half days were spent in investigation
of the Chicago packing houses, and
a day was spent by Mr.. Reino1d in
Investigating the slaughter houses.
The report says that in many rooms
where water is used freely the
floors are soaked and sticky, and the
dark. dingy rooms are not kept suit
ably clean. Absence of cleanliness is
to be found everywhere in handling
meat In the cooling rooms the work
ers climb over neaps Of meat, select
the pieces they wish. and frequently
throw them down upon the dirty fioor

Governor kibbey
 Returns to Arizona

Speaking of the report published in some of the territorial papers to the effect that he had been called to Washington for the purpose of giving the president an opportunity to dis cipline him for his statehood attitude Governor Kibbey said to a Phoenix Gazette reporter:
 ''I had a full and frank talk with the president relative to Arizona ai- fairs, including, of course, the Ques- tion of joint statehood.
 "In view of what am told concern ing newspaper reports, wish to state emphatically that the president did not call me to Washington for the purpose of discipliring me on the statehood question On the contrary, he did not even suggest that I should change my position on the question.
 "He takes an altogether broad and generous view of the situat'on-while he has been led to believe that joint statehood for the two territories ould be advisable, and he adheres :o that view, he is asking no federal official to surrender his convictions.
 "In this connection I note wlth re. gret that it seems to be the policy of some of the papers in Arizona to abus. the president because of the attitud. he has taken on the statehood propo- sition.
 ''I would not undertake to tell them the kind of campaign they should make, but it seems to me that com- mon sense dictates that they should treat MT. Roosevelt with fairness and decency."

Important Ruling
 on Mill Sites

By courtesy of the surveyor general
 the Phoenix Republican prints a d.
 gest of thu recent deci-ion t:y the secretary of the interior, relating to
 the location of mill site Claims m con
 nection with lode mining cla,ms,
 .hIch will be found of Tn errst to
 mining men throughout the country:
 Mil site-Contiguity to ven or
 lode claim-Section 2337, R. s. Brick Pomeroy mill site"
 The effect of the decision is that it is no longer permissible to locate a mill site clam adjoining any of the lines of lode claim. The term uf the statute ref, rring to lode claims is con- strued in its broader sense, and is held to m-an. aii tine ground within the lines of the lode location, and not in 'he restricted sense, as heretofore believed to mean merely the vein matter throughout the center oi the claim. Under this decision. the spirit of the statute will also be en- vening ground between the mi sit and the lode claim; and a narrow strip of few inches between the lode and the mill cite will not be held to comply with that part of the statute which holds that the mill site must he non-ad jacent to the lode. While the decision does not specify the minimum distance which shall exist between the lode and the mill cite ,laim, it is evident that such distance must be sufficient 60 as to leave the intervening ground ot sufficient area IS to be valuable for other purposes, md can be disposed of by the govern nent.

Civil Actions Continue
 to Be Filed

Cases continue to pile up in thu Clerks office about as fast as they are disposed of in the court. During the past few days four new eases hay been placed on the docket.
 The first one was placed on rec .rd Saturday and is in the shape of an alternative writ filed by w. E. Kell, against the Board of Supervisors of Cochise County. The writ states that he was appointed by the Board of Supervisors on October 9th 1905 a- County Commissioner of Immigration under the law that provides that such an officer when the assessed valuation , of the county exceeds $S,aOO,000 and that the salary of said office is $500 per annum. That he filed with the Board demand for the sum of $50 covering the three months of October, November and December of l9 5, and that the said Board refused to allow the same. The writ states that the Board of Supervisors should upon receipt of same i'm medistely pay said demand or show cause in the district court on the 18th day of July why they have not done so. The writ was signed by Judge Doan on Saturday and will be served on the Boa I'd today. The Board will meet today and will then turn the matter over to the District Attorney.
 The next case is that of Mrs. Mae
 English, as administrator of the es- tate of Marion August English, de- ceased, vs. the Calu ct X Arizona
 Mining mpany for damage in the sum of $5,0N. The complaint al-
 Ieges that her husband, Marion English, was in the employ of tine

Magazine Tell of
 New Arizona Road

The American Magazine of Mining ! and Investment in it's lsst issue prints \ report of 8 new Arizona railroad that is designed to tap the rich min ing district in and about Jerome. The magazine says:
 "1t is reported that Senator W. A. Clark and his associates have decided to build a railroad south frou, con meeting points on the Salt Lake line into Arizona to the United Verde, Jerome. copper m'nes, and conpect finally with the Southern Paai fife at Bowie. The proposed line is to cross the Grand Canyon at Lees Ferry, which is the only point the line could get through.
 From the canyon the road will run to Flagstaff, connecting there with a ten-m'le read originally started rom that point to Globe. From Flagstaff the 'ine would follow Oak creek to Jerome, where it will i in and absorb Clark's private line, United Verde & Pacific.
 Thence the road will continue to Globe, where it will connect again with Harriman's Gila Valley, Globe & Northern, whish reaches the main line of the Southern Pacific at Bowie.
 "The reason for establishing the new road is to enable Clark to tap directly the Jerome h ines and to open up the vast undeve.oped regions in Arizona"

 THE EXTREME OF FOLLY.
 The most foolhardy man who ever risked his life, or the most infatuated gambler who ever risked his fortune, IS a sage compared with the man who attempts to get the best Of Nature. The foolhardy man may succeed The gambler may win But the man who takes chances with Nature is bound to lose. If the obituaries of tens ol thou sands who are cut down annually in iife's prime were truiy written death would not be attributed to this or that form of disease, but to an attempt 10 evade the necessary laws Of health.
 The weak spot in the modern man is h;s stomach. It IS in disease oi the stomach that many of the uIaladies begin which carry of the busy men of the day. The seed of disease once planted in the stomach grows and spreads like some climbing parasite about a tree. 1t throws out tendTil about the heart and presently another which grips the lungs, and others again which take hold of kidneys and hver. Then suddenly the man IS smitten Dy heart disease or lung disease; or sue curnbs to some uialady of kidneys or liver. The real seat of disease Is the stomach. And one of the reasons why the diseases of the other organs often fail of a cure is that the treatment ignores the stomach, and attempts to treat directly the other organs, whose diseases are only symptoms of disease
