MARICOPA SHERIFF SUICIDES.
Sheriff J. E. Walker Kills Himself With
 a Six.ShOOter in Out Building.

Sher1H J. Ell1Ott w Walker, or Mdrl- copa county, a former resident of Tucson and an Arizona pioneer, con- mitted suicide last week in Phoenix.
 Temporary insanity, induced by worry over his failure to secure a re- nomination last fall and over the dis appearance of $500 from the sheriff's office and the escape of Constable Lee Redwine, suspected of having stolen the money, was as signed as the cause for the rash deed.
 Sheriff Walker was sixty years old and a member of Mosby's guerrilla during the Civil War.
 The coroner's jury, which was summoned in the case returned a verdict to the effect that "the de- ceased came to his death as the re- suit of self-inAicted gunshot wounds while suffering from temporary men tai aberra tion.'
 Through the southwest and throughout considerable portion of the south, Sheriff Walker was widely known He was member of Colonel Mosby's band of guerrillas, famed for their bravery and daring deeds in the Civil War. Sheriff Walker was with Mosby's band from its organiza- tion until it disbanded and was in the thick of many desperate skirmishes.
 For several months Sheriff Walker had been having run of i'll luck and it greatly weighed on his mind. He seemed to be continually worrying and during the past several days his friends remarked that he was acting very strangely.
 He arose that morning shortly be- fore 8 o'clock and, clad only in his pajamas, started for an outbuilding. His wife called to him and told him he had better dress. He returned to the house and put on his street cloth ing. He then went to the outbuild- ing. In the hip pocket of his pants was a 41-calibre revolver. It was with this weapon that he inflicted the wound which resulted in almost instant death.
 Sitting in the outbuilding, he ap- parently deliberately pressed the barrel ot the gun against his fore head and then pulled the trigger. A second shot was fired, but this went wild. It is the supposition that the second shot was caused by the spasmodic contraction of the fingers.
 Mrs. Walker, who was in the house short distance away, had heard the two reports, but supposed the noise was made by boys throwing stones against the house. When the sheriff failed to return, she started out to find him. He had been in poor health for some time and she feared that he might possibly have tainted in the outbuilding.
 When she opened the door ot the building she was mortified to find her husband sitting lifeless, with his head against the wall and the re- volver grasped in his hand.
 Mrs. Walker uttered piercing scream and fell in a dead faint. Neighbors heard her cry and rushed quickly to her assistance. It was with difficulty that Mrs. Walker was revived.
 When an investigation was made of the license money which the sheriff had collected for the past two months it was found that he was S12O0 short. He should have turned in 5000 and had promised the board of supervisors that he would do so that morning. His receipts at the end of the quarter, however, would more than have made up the short age.
