NEGRO SHOT AND KILLED
Henry Davis Puts Fatal Shots Into Body of State
 Jones
From Thrusaay,s psIly

Because negro known as State" Jones dunned him for thirty-fve cents, Henry Davis, also colored, shot and instantly killed him yesterday morning at 7:S0 o'clock, in front of the Mandolin saloon on North Broad street. Davis made no attempt to escape, and he was taken in custody by Wallace Duncan and locked up in the county jail The body of the dead man was taken to the undertaking parlors of A. l.. Jones X Son, where the in quest was held yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock.
 When Davis appeared in the doorway of the saloon with the gun in his hand, Jones was apparently taken by sur prise, but before he could wheel and run Davis fired, the bullet striking him in the left breast directly over the  heart. The wounded man started to- ward the Chinese laundry adjoining the saloon, but he was overtaken by three more shots from Davis revolver and he fell in the entrance to the laundry. One of the shots struck him in the left side  and another in the right groin. Before medical attendance could be summoned, the wounded man died.
 Davis showed very little emotion des- pite the fact that he had killed in ap- parent cold blood an unarmed man, but after he was taken to the county jail a deputy asked him why he had killed the man, and he replied that he had to be- cause Jones twas an overbearing brute," and would have killed him.
 To a representative of the SILVER BELT who saw him in jail, Davis made a more extended statement. His de meanor was without the slightest sign of feeling, and he was engaged in writ ing letter when asked to give state ment for publication.
 'I killed States because he would have killed me before night said Davis. 'I owed him 35 cents, and last night he heard that had money: l did have S2O gold piece last night, but this morning when he asked me to pay him I didn't have the money, and told him so. Then he started calling me all the names he could think of and told me that if l didn't come through he would kill me before night He said he would murder me before he went to sleep again. didn't have gun, but there was one behind the bar. As he turned to go out of the saloon, I jumped over the bar, got the gun, and-well, I guess you know the rest.
 Davis stated that Jones has record in Texas, from where he came here about six weeks ago, and that if he promised to "croak" him before night he would do it. Davis refuse, to say whether or not Jones record in Texas contained any murders, but he inti- mated that something could be learned regarding him at San Antonio or Eagle Pass, Texas.

The Inquest

HO tfHtVot
 At the eoroner's inquest which was held yesterday afternoon at the Jones undertaking parlors, it was ascertained that Davis had been known in Globe as Brenham, and that the dead mans name was State Jones or at least that was his name here. A number of wit nesses were examined by Judge Tho mas, but the most important testimony was that of Robert Bardon, a gambler, who was in the saloon at the time of the murder.
 Bardon testified that Jones and Davis had played monte in the saloon until early in the morning, and at about 4:3O they engaged in quarrel over the money which Jones claimed was due him. The witness testified that both men hurled violent epithets at each other and that Davis told Jones that if he did not shut up he would kill him in few hours.
 Later in the morning and shortly be- fore the shooting, Jones again impor- tunee Davis for his 35 cents but he was refused. He then walked out of the saloon and engaged in a conversation with another colored man on the out side, Davis walked up to the bar and ordered glass of beer and while the bartender was waiting on him he sud denly jumped over the bar, grabbed the gun which was lying on the shelf and walked outside, where he met Jones. Without word he walked to within a few feet of the man and holding the gun in both hands pulled the trigger. Jones was facing him at the time, but no word was spoken by either man. The wounded man turned to flee, and Davis followed him pulling the trigger three times more. Jones tried to enter the Chinese laundry, but fell headfore- most through the doorway. This was the substance of the witness story.
 George Jackson, the bartender, told practically the same story and identi- fled the gun as his own. It was a 32 Colts on 45 frame and there was still a load in it when the jury examined it, in addition to three empty shells. Jackson also testified as to the threats made by Jones to kill Davis before nght, as in the latter's statement.
 The following is the coroner's report and the verdics of the jury as it was brought in:
 In the Justice Court of Globe Precinct
 of Gila county, Arizona territory.

ROMANCE OF DIAMOND FIELD
Holder of shares Worth Millions
Ended Life Because He
Was Poor.

LONDON, Dec. ESPECIAL r-Slx foun-
ders' shares, nominally valued at IS each,
in the New Vaal River Diamond and Ex-
ploration company have just been sold at
S135, O0C, the highest price for one share be-
ing 1920 equal to an appreciation In
value OF $4,000 per cent. Incidentally the
purchaser of the first share sold It at a
great profit within half an hour after 1t
had been knocked down at auction.
The company owns three farms known as
the Vaal River estate in the district of
Barley West and within a few miles Of
the great diamond mines owned by the
De Beers company. The estate extends
over $1,000 acres
The tragic feature of the sale was found
in tho fact that Mr.. schwabacher, the orig
inaI owner of the shares, committed suicide
because he could not meet his obligations.
He was the owner of $1,000 ordinary shares
in the New Vaal River Diamond and Ex-
ploration company as well as the six foun-
ders shares. The ordinary shares were
taken over by his creditors at valuation
which would have left him. had he been
able to have tided over his difficulties, OF
at least s. 100000.

Strength Comes
Not From What You Eat. But From
What YOu Digest.


Most people eat most foods without
observation-disclosures matters little what.
Few stop to think what that food does
for them. This is the first turn on the
road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard
Of the proper choice of foods, rapid eating
and improper mastication, are the un-
questioned causes Of ali stomach dlsor-
ders from the slight ache to the malig-
nant cancer.
There Is nothing more revolving than
a dyspeptic stomach very vat for
putrefaction, sending forth It's poison
throughout the entire system, depressing
the brain, befouling the breath, souring
the taste, deadening the muscles, incapac-
itating the liver and kidneys for their
work, facilitating the heart, choking the
lungs and clogging the bowels.
All Of these dlsagreeable and dangerous
conditions are due to the improper diges-
ton OF food and the consequent asslrnila-
ton of poison. What else can be ex-
pected? If the food lies in the stomach,
II the system is constipated, fermentation
is the natural outcome. It shows itself
in sour watery risings, belchings. heart
burn and painful breathing.
There is only one way to relieve this
condition. If the stomach refuses to di-
gest your food put something into II that
will. stuarts Dyspeptlc Tablets are moth
ing but digestives. They are not medi-
cine. They work when the stomach will
not.
Each tablet contains enough Lepsin,
diastase golden seal and other digestive
elements TO reduce 5000 grains OF ordi-
nary food TO the proper consistency Tor
assimilation into the blood.
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are abso-
lutely pure. There Is nothing harmful
In them as shown in their endorsement
by 10000 physicians in the United States
and Canada
Ask your family physician his opinion
Of StUart's Dyspepsia Tablets and II he
Is honest toward you he will state post
lively that they will cure your stomach
trouble whatever IL may be, unless you
have waited too long and have allowed
your disorder 10 develop into cancer.

LONDON, Dec. S.-A dispatch received

that it was reported there that the shah
Of Persia was dead. Neither the Persian

received anything confrmatory of the
rumor. The British Foreign office also dis
credits the report.
MaIRdy IL Fatal.
BERLIN, Dec, S.-Although the German
Foreign Office does not believe the shah
of Persia is so near death as rtported
from Terchan, It is well understood that
his passing cannot long be delayed, his
maladies are in their final stages.
Germany is popularity supposed, IN Great
Britain and France especially to lie pur-
suing mysterious political objects with the
ultimate design of acquiring territorial ad-
vantages in Persia. The German policy,
the Associated Press is informed, is simply
equal trade privileges in Persia for all
nations. The principle Of the German pol
icy in Persia has been clearly explained
to the foreign offices of Great Britain and
Russia and Misunderstanding such as
those that made the Moroccan question seri-
GUS are not likely to arise. The offer Of
the banking concession by the shah was
voluntary and was part Of his plan to
borrow money from Germany. He had
already borrowed through the British
owned Imperial Bank of Persia" and the
Russian owned Banque dEscompte
German Traders Active,
The activity and enterprise of the Ger
man traders led the shah's advisers to
suggest the establishment of a German
bank in Persia. The German Foreign office
considered that Germany already pos
sessed the right to form such a bank
under the most favored nation clause Of
the treaty between Persia and Germany
and therefore the shah's offer aroused no
particular feeling of gratitude The For
eign office eventually turned over the con-
cession to group Of Berlin bankers but
they have not done anything with It as
yet except to agree to send representa-
tiYes to Persia some time this winter to
see If any money can be made out of the
concession. Russia is more the rival of
Germany for the trade in Persia than is
Great Britain, possessing as it does a
treaty under which the customs dues on
overland imports are lower than those
imposed on seaborne Imports and both
Great Britain and Germany have a COM
munlty of interests in obtaining an eauali-
cation of the seaport and land frontier
dues.
