 REPORTED CAPTURE OF MUIR DERERS-R. R. Coleman returned to Phoenix yesterday from the camp of
 his grading outfit in Gila county on the Arizona and Eastern road and left last evening for Tucson and later for
 Mexico. MT. Coleman was in Hermo- sillo several days ago and at that time the report had been brought there that General Torres had captured several of the murderers who were supposed to have been implicated in the murder of the men in charge of the Beebe outfit the stors. of which was printed in The Republican several mornings ago. As soon as the authorities heard
 of the affair they at once started in search of the murderers General Torres himself being in command. A squad of rurales formed an escort for a second supply train that started to the Cieneguita mines.
 
 Through a brief printed death am nouncement received here yesterday, it was learned that Prof. A. J. Me Clatchie died at Montebell, Cal, last Sunday. February II, the funeral be- ing held last Tuesday. Other than that there was no information available here. It will be sad news to a host of friends of the family in this city, for during their residence of some years in this valley both Professor and Mrs. McClatchie were quite prom inently before the public. the former as a scientific agriculturist and the latter as a leading member of the Woman's club of this city and a for
 mer president of the territorial feder- ation. BOtn were highly respected by all and held relations of cordial friend ship with a wide acquaintance. Prof. | but had lived in this country for many years past, being connected with the agricultural department as an official of the agricultural experiment sta | tions. He did a great deal in the line if scientific investigation as it relates
 to plant life, having a deep personal interest in his work. He has written a number of books on subjects per taining to agriculture and plant life and was a frequent contributor to az ricultural papers and a lecturer before assemblages of farmers and scientific organizations. Probably his best known work is a volume on the eu- calyptus, which was published by the department and which is a recognized authority on that great family of trees that has already proved a valuable one to mankind and the possibilities of which have not yet begun to be ap- preciated. His death will be sincerely mourned by his associates in scien- tific investigation, for his wide expe- rience and close study had brought
 him to that period of life when his usefulness seemed greatest. As men tioned above, there is no information concerning the cause Of his death, but it is presumed that it was some com plicatiOn of lung troubles as his lungs have been affected for several years
 He is survived by wife and son.
