 DIR. RHYMES DEATH-Dr. w. J. Rhymes, superintendent of the county hospital passed quietly away yester- day afternoon at his home in Capitol addition. He was attended during his last illness by his wife and three broth CTS the brothers having come from the family homestead in Louisiana some. time ago in response to a telegram an- nouncing the doctors serious illness. DsSth resulted from complications arising from a severe cold contracted several weeks ago. The death of Dr. Rhymes will be felt keenly in this community for he not only stood high in his profession as a physician and surgeon but he was loved and respect ed by scores of close personal friends he had made during his two years residence in Phoenix. So well was he liked by the unfortunates at the county hospital that when told he could not live they wept as little children. Be fore coming to Phoenix Dr Rhymes at tained prominence as a surgeon in Louisiana where he practiced for sev- eral years and where the Rhymes plantation is one of the oldest and best known in the state.

From Wednesdays Daily)
What appears to be one of the most
coldblooded murders heard Of here In
recent wears was committed about

.Jcsu, Garcia shot and instantly killed
Nasario Padilla.
The crime was committed in one OF
the small dwelling houses on Smeiter

Verde shaft house and works. ihere
were no witnesses to the Tragedy
Gs,cia. who il accused of the murder,
Immediately left the camp, and NJ the
hour Of going to press had not yet been
apprehendcd.
The motive assigned ~ Jealousy, II
appearing that Padilla was paying Mt
tcn,ion to n young lady Of the spanish
colony. with whom Garcia was IN love,
and that finding Padilla alone, in a
1T Of jealous rage, he fired the fatal
sbo. that ended Padilla's life.
The bullet, which was apparently
fred ut close range from pistol OF
large caliber, struck the murdered man
in the right temple completely tearing
away the entire front Of the upper
portion Of the head
Nasario Padilla, the murdered man,
had been n resident Of Jerome for the
past seven years. lie was employed
ms cage tender ut the mine, and was
sober, industrious and inofYenyive
young man. His brutal murder has
thrown a pail over the entire commu
nifty, the Spanish COLONY in particular
where he was held in the highest es
teen. Feeling In the plac, r"nq higi
and il is said that II the .nr'1eref IL
caught he will be barshly d''l' with.
Garcia is said not TO have horne as
good reputation ns the murdered
man. At times he was quarrelsome
especially when under the innuenc, Of
liquor. Although he had ro'e than an
hours start Of the officers, Strenuous
efforts are being made for h:s capture

on the mesa, there are actually scores
Of horses lying dead in the loco weed
patches. The loco is so thick down
there il looks like one immense alfalfa
field, and the weed has obtained such
start on the other grass and vegetation
that the horses are gorging themselves
on it. IL il not an uncommon sight 10
see six or eight horses lying dead 10

man told me the other day that fully 90
per cent Of the horses on the range IN

sumcd on number Of claims that had

A test run was made of the new dry

Mayer, with satisfactory results. the
management being ~ every way NJ
well satisfied that the works were
being kept in continuous operation on

a large force Of miners on each proper.

pumped out, and some necessary repairs
made. Both Of these mines have large
bodies Of medium grade ore already
blocked out, which can be proftably
treated at the new smelter, besides q

for shipment.
The new double compartment shaft

tions will be started within the next
few days.
In the 400 foot level on this property

measuring In width from five TO
twelve feet. All OF the ore bins at the
mine are now filed. and the work Of

Both the blackberry and Boggs mines
are the property Of the George A.

the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, which
passes between them by q narrow

Besides the new organization there

With tho advent Of tho new team
