MURDER STILL THEORY IN
 CASE
Now Established That the De- ceased Mrs. McMilIan Long Feared the Mexican-Fun- eral Held Here Yesterday.

In regard to the manner i'll winch Mrs. George McMillan came to her death Monday. at Cananea, but little
 has developed. The police of Cananea
 are still working on the theory that the woman was murdered by Mecolio Oscoa, the Mexican gardener.
 A chain of circumstances which might furnish the Mexican with a mo-
 tive for the cowardly performance has
 been forged. and it is probable that
 testimony along this line will be in troduced at the trial of the suspect. When Mir. and Mrs McMiilan re-
 turned from a trip to the east they found that some of their silverwear
 and cut glass had been tempered with. and some of it was missing. Ever since that time Mrs. McMillan had
 been suspicious of the man, but her husband had always dispelled her fears and retained the Mexican in his employ, On account of his being a good workman.
 Mrs. McMiIlan Feared oscoa. When MT. McMillan left home sev- eral days ago, his wife became nervous and went to a neighbor's house and borrowed a revolver of thirty-two cali Der. The theory is, that Mrs. McMil- Ian found the Mexican again going through the rooms of the house, and upbraided him. It is thought that he i u en make an attack upon her, and she shot at him. The shot went wild imbedding itself in one of the pieces of furniture, and it is thought that the Mexican then had time to seize her arm and wrench the revolver from her and fire the fatal shot.
 The shot entered the right breast and lodged in the back on the Jeff side.
 husba.d Finds Dead Wife.
 McMillan arrived home about :: o'clock, and at the time that he en- tered the house the gardener followed him. He found his wife, and thinking that she was i'll sent for a doctor, but on picking her up. saw the blood and the wound in her breast. She died in a few minutes without regaining con sc.Cusness.
 He questioned the Mexican and the man replied that he had not haerd any shots. This does not seem prob- able when compared with the story of neighbors, who say that they heard TWO shots that afternoon.
 As soon as the doctor arrived the Mexican was placed under arrest upon i suspicion.
 It is we'll known that Mrs. McMillan, l who was % years of age, was in the | best of health, and had everything to l live for as her husband is a wealthy | man and has always showed the deep- | est affection for her.
 McMillan is heart-broken over the | and says but little to his {!
