Rotus Was Good Natured.

Sues advised Rotus. not to engage in
my more rows with his wife. Rotus re-
,lied that he would not and appeared
20 be in good humor. HE was given the
Weapon, and as he started away Rotus
aid he was in a hurry as he must 90
o work.
About eleven o'clock that morning
Mrs. Sues observed Mrs Rotils in the
ard cleaning her Shoes Rotus came
,ut of the house and then the couple
commenced quarrelling. Shortly after.
ward they entered the house and that
5 the last time anyone is believed to
lave seen the couple alive. Mrs. Sues
lid not think anythink strange of the
ow she had witnessed because these
;amily jars were so frequent that they
lroused no particular comment. Dur
ng all of yesterday Mrs. Sues wondered
Why no one was doing the chores at
he Rotus home. The one cow had not
>een fed and the forty chickens were
Unattended. The dog walked about
he premises and seemed lonesome. At
four O'Clock Mrs. Sues became curious
is well as anxious and she made the
search which resulted in the finding of
.he dead body of Mrs. Rotus and the
sounding of the alarm. Mrs. Sues did
not hear shots at any time during
Thursday.
The cow had not been MIXED yester-
lay morning. She generally gave but a
small quantity of milk, but when milk
ed late yesterday afternoon she yielded
L four-quart pail nearly full.
Thursday night about 1870 Max
Sues passed by the Rotus home. He
heard no noise, and there was no light
visible, although the curtains were all
up yesterday when Mrs. Sues went to
the house.
Time of the Shooting.
1t was learned today that Rotus was
III the Chris Polchow saloon on South
Front street, on Thursday evening be-
tween eight and nine o'clock. He was
not under the influence of liquor, so
Fred Polchow, the bartender, stat
ed this afternoon. Polchow talked With
Rotus d moment and the man depart
ed from the place. He probably went
directly from the saloon to his home.
From the situation of the dead body of
Mrs. .Rotus she must have been seated
at the table, with her back to the front
door. Rotus could have entered that
door and stepping up behind her chair
ever, no evidence of a lamp having
been lighted, as none was OH the table
nor was there one in the bedroom.
One curious feature in connection
with the dead body of Rotus when ex-
amined by the officers yesterday after
noon, it was still warm in the lower
cxtremites, but rigid and cold above
the hips. This led some persons to be-
lieve that the. man had not been dead
great while, but the, most. tenable, ar,
gument is that Rotus performed
his dreadful deed some time during
Thursday evening The nearest neighbors
are more than block distant and they

BISBEE NEGRO lNVENTS
 NEW RAILROAD BRAKE

Has it remained for Bisbee negro to accomplish the invention of one of the greatest boons to railroaders and to railroad travellers? is question that is running through the minds of many Bisbee people today, says the Bisbee Review. William Spikes, eolored barber, with tonsorial quarters on o. K. street, claims to have invented an automatic device by means of which trains are brought to dead standstill whenever one of them cvmes within a given territory of danger. Spikes claims that he has been offered half a million dollars for his patent rights and in substantiation of his claim showed friends yesterday a letter from Epes Randolph naming today as the time for an appointment at which the prelimi- nary details of the deal are to be gone over. Spikes left for Tucson last even ing to confer with Mir Randolph, head of the Southern Pacific interests in Arizona.
 Spikes has made model consisting of miniature railway, and trains thereon, which works to perfection, He has already secured from Washing ton patents covering all the details of his invention and is confident that he has struck upon something that will make him a millionaire.
 This is not the first attempt of Spikes in the invention of valuable appliances and he has already realized small sums by marketing other of his products, but it has remained for him to invent this latest device to eclipse all oshers.
 Catering for his daily bread to the small colored population and to the poorer classes of Mexicans about o. K. street, Spikes has between times thought out this scheme by which he expects to amass great wealth. He is an exceptionally intelligent negro and his keen mind has more than once called forth favorable comment from his white acquaintances.
 Should he successfully demonstrate the practicability of his model, there is not the slightest doubt that he can market it for fabulous sum, but can as well secure stock in corporation to manufacture and sell that will net him comfortable income.

Baked Into Can of Caps

A. A. McKinzie had an experience last Friday which he will not soon for. get. He was cleaning up in the vicin- ity of his tent at Live Oaks with a rake, when that implement struck a can containing 150 giant caps, which had been hidden by Mrs. Emmett Gainor several months ago to prevent the children from playing with them, and had subsequently, been forgotten. The force of the explosion drove parts of the caps into MT. McKinzie's body, and Dr. Wightman removed a small glassful of them from various parts of his anatomy. He located others with the X-ray. MT. McKinzie was in Globe yesterday, and it is said that several old time prospectors tried to post loca- tion notices on him, mistaking him for promising copper claim.

 November '
From Wednesdays Daily
Editor of the SILVER BELT:

Editor of the SILVER BELT:
 The Old Dominion Copper Mining X Smelling company will raise wages as has recently been done in certain other camps. The increase under ground will be the same as at Bisbee On the surface the scales are different in the two camps, and it will take some time to make the adjustment, but the full scale will be duly published when it is completed, and the raise in all cases will date back to the Eth inst
 This advance will apply as long as electrolytic copper is quoted at eigh- teen cents or above.
 Yours very truly (Signe0 L. D. RICKETTS,,
 Superintendent
 The foregoing communication was re- ceived from Dr. Ricketts yesterday, and the full new scale will be published as soon as it has been completed. The raise of wages at the Old Dominion has been under consideration by the Old Dominion company for several weeks past, but owing to the fact that the attention of Dr. Ricketts has most of that time been directed to other channels, in connection with his many duties, announcements of raises in other large camps throughout the country have been made before that of Old Dominion.
 There will be practically no differ ence between the new scale here and that of Butte and Bisbee, where an nouncements have already been posted. but the fact that condit ons in some respects differ, in the smelter and else where on the surface, the scale has not as yet been arranged.
 Dr. Ricketts who was absent for sev- eral days last week will leave the city again this morning, to be absent until about Friday.
