gether with Butte, were placed under arrest Butte was brought to Bisbee and placed in jail here In order to separate him from the others.
 The tent in which the crime took place was a bloody spot when the off, cers and the members of the coroners jury arrived. The bodies of Thomas and Capstick were gore from head to foot, their life fluid having run down and upon the floor in tiny streams which gathered in pools and stood about.
 It is believed that when the full par ticulars are known that one of the worst crimes in Arizona's history will unfold. Thomas was at the tent last night as a guest, having been asked to come there and spend the night with Capstick, who must have been turing him to his death.
 Under the name of Jackson. Thomas is well known around Lowell, as are the others, all of them being employed at the Junction shaft. Capstick has resided there about a year.

 On the upper bunk of the three men toned was a man lying asleep when the officers arrived. He was on the opposite side to the row of hunks in which Thomas was found. The officers are at a loss to understand how he got the blood on his clothes. It is even suspected that instead of being a case of murder and suicede, it is a case of double murder by the man with the bloody clothes. All of this is expected to come oEt today.
 Capstick had several gashes in his arm as well as the one in his throat which adds some force to the theory that he may have been murdered and did not kill himself

THROAT CUTTING
 OVER A WOMAN
A Horrible and Somewhat Mysterious
 Crime at Bisbee.

One of the bIoodiest crimes ever en- acted in Arizona was committed at Lowell last Thursday morning. The story of the tragedy is told by the Re view:
 After cutting the throat of Ed Thomas, better known as Ed. Jackson. from ear to ear about 1 o'clock this morning in a tent near Lowell, Thomas Capstick then cut his own, both dying within a few minutes and adding to this section one of the bloodiest and what may prove sensational affairs
 John Butte father-fn-Iaw of Cap stick. was awakened by the noise. and as he raised out of his bunk. saw Cap stick standing in the middle of the floor.
 He yelled at him to stop, but was told to stand back or be killed and had to look on while his son-in-layv severed his juglar vein and dropped in his tracks
 On making an investigation Butte found Thomas lying dead in his bunk which was filled with the blood from the gaping wound in his throat.
 The terrible deed is believed to have resulted from jealousy on the part of Capstick, who had reason to believe that Thomas had been intimate with his wife. The woman is now with rel atives in Montana, leaving Lowell short time ago.
 Officer Moore and Coroner Hogan were notified about 1:3O o'clock of the affair by Butte. A jury, consisting of w. A. Connell R. Quirlz, Obe Schimp. Thomas Hudspeth, James Fisk and William Whalen, was taken to the scene Of the horrible tragedy and viewed the remains. They will meet in Justice Hogan's office at o'clock this afternoon to make their report
 In the tent in which the murder and suicide took place are two rows of three hunks, one on top of the other The top one, on one side, was occupied by Butte. the middle by Thomas and the lower by Capstick. They all re- tired together last night.
 It is believed that Capstick got up about 1 o'clock and, standing beside the bunk in which Thomas slept, slash ed the razor across his throat while he slept. The struggle awakened Butte in time to see his son-in-law take his life.
 Full particulars of the affair could not be obtained this morning It is believed that Capstick was not alone in the affair. In the tent were three others beside CaDstick. Butte and Thomas One of the three had his clothing covered with blood
 None of the three had a reasonable story about the trouble, the one with the blood covered clothing being un- able to explain in satisfactory man ner how he came to be in such a con dition.

was much in evidence. Possibly the Phoenix players would have put up a better game if they had had, as did the normal, a good big crowd of loyal young ladies to help the cause along and give cheering words at critical moments during the progress of the game
 During the first two innings neither side made run but in the third the normal ran up three while the high school made two From that time on the normal took the lead and kept it through the rest of the game. They made a run almost whenever they felt the inclination and they felt inclined that way pretty often. Higley, the normal catcher, got his fingers hurt in the early part of the game and eX- changed places with Dykes at first base. The high school was unable to do any business after the third inning but on the other hand the normal ran up by the dozen, almost At the end of the game they had seventeen runs to their credit against the high schools two runs made in the third inning.
 The lineup was as follows:

JUSTICE JoHNsToNE's COURT.

John W. Fitzgerald got into trouble yesterday with a Mexican. It appears that some one took FftZgerald's hat and needing a skypiece he appropri- ated tle one belonging to the MeXi- can. He was brought before Justice Johnstone and was sent to jail for seven days. As he left the court he remarked that it was a dirty shame to send an Irishman to jail on St. Pat rick's day merely because he had a
 little trouble with a Mexican. Juan Ouinones and Francisco Moreno were both charged with peace disturbance and jailed for seven days cacn. Mi ~uel Nuncz had been fighting and was given a ten-day sentence.

The TcIcnhOnc Voice.

An Indiana Telephone girl has won
voice. Doubtless the husband is to
be congratulated, because, as high
authority has it, voice gentle, soft
and low is an excellent thing in
woman, and is, it may be added, es-
pecially desirable in the case of the
woman who presides over the domes-
tic hearth. With this example be-
fore them, and others of the kind
now and then reported, it might be
thought that the young women at
the telephone exchanges would en-
gage in systematic cultivation of
sweet and musical intonation. There
is, however, a much better oppor-
tunity before them for winning popu
larity than is to be gained by mere
vocal sweetness, and that is prompt
ness of speech and action. What
does it matter to the average tele-
phone patron whether the voice of
the operator at the switchboard is
melodious of not if it is slow in
coming over the wire, or if it is
heard, after long delay, only to drawl
NUMBER" and again ''number?"
after more delay, and then connects
with a number quite different from
the one the patron calls. What does
it profit the telephone girl, matri-
monially of otherwise, If she calmly,
through in dulcet voice, declares to
the anxious caller that the line is
busy now" and continues so to as
sert, while the impatient man at the
other end of the wire with good
reason to know it is not busy listens
in freniZied state of mind to her
idle chat with her chums? Ney,
verify, it is not sweetness for which
the telephone subscriber yearns, but
for a swift answer to his calls and
prompt and accurate connection with
the other telephone. The voice may
be shrill and sharp, or hoarse and
raucous. or it may be impeded by a
wad of gum, but it will win favor If
it only responds quickly. If the tele-
phone girl cannot be both mellifiu-
Gus ana prompt, let her be prompt,
and she will be more likely to get a
husband than through sweetness
alone. Also she will do much to
lessen the present sum total of un-
seemly wrath and profanity in the
community. She may in fact, if she
will, become n great moral agent

The Age or Heroincs.

Is there likely, one wonders, to
be any age limit fixed for heroines?
They are getting older and older. a
contemporary recently pointed out
how completely the girl heroine has
vanished. The innocent, trustful
maiden of the old novel only had to
contend with some designing rival
or to overcome the preiudices of her
own or her lovers family.
Experience is needed for the
leading lady" of up-to-date fiction.
She must be past mistress in the
art of fascination; we want to probe
her. soul. She must have good
array of ''scalps" to show; she must
be able to speak in language which
would i'll become babes and such
lings. So we are advancing the age
of this interesting person. She may
even be the mother of grown-up
children; she might in some cases
be a grandmother In the ordinary
way. But ought we not to demand
an age limit? Else where will the
novelist stop?-London World.
