 The movements Of all the men who were known to have been with Romero the night before were investigated and the officers satisfied themselves that none of taem had seen Romero after o'clock except Sanchez. who could satisfactorily account for himself after that hour
 The officers are thus left without the slightest clue. There is q theory that there was no special motive for the killing. Romero could not have had any money at the time he was murdered. He was probably struck before he was shot The wounds are more severe than could easily have been made with a revolver and it ie thought that ne must have been hit with heavy iron bar. possibly a steel drill
 Romero was about thirty-eight years of age. He was not very well known in Phoenix and it is only known that he had been nere but once before. That was about a month ago when he was arrested and fined for drunkenness and disturbance of the peace.

BLOODY WORK
 OF MURDERERS
Dead Body of Antonio RO=
 nero Found
No Clue to the nen Who Crashed His 5kul! and Sent a Bullet Through His Head

The dead body of Antonio Romero was found a little after daylight yes terday morning lying along the road side on south Seventh avenue about 250 yards below the old NJ & P depot The body lay among a lot of straw and had the appearance of being dragged there. The body lay on the back The skull on each side had been crushed, and a further examin- ation disclosed that the man had been shot in the back of the head. The bull let was found by Dr. Hughes just un der the skin between the eyes.
 The hat of the dead man lay near by with smear of blood on it, and some distance away was found an other hat, d derby, which it was at first thought might have belonged to someone who had been concerned in the murder. It is more likely though. that this hat mas been thrown away. It was old and broken and had proba- ply blown to where it had been found, from a nearby dump pile.
 Bert Balsz was probably the first who saw the dead body. He reported it at the office of the sheriff and an investigation was begun. Tracks were found in the vicinity of the body but none could be followed away from it far enough to give the officers a clue.
 An inquest was begun early by Jus tice Burnett and it was concluded late in the afternoon. It developed nothing beyond the obvious fact thss the man was dead. It could not be stated that he had been killed by the pistol shot or by the blows upon the head. Which ever had been inflicted first had done the business.
 If hoH baay, rav,or+a.l 4t,, that a wood cutter near the river had seen two men, one of them barelead- ed, pass that way. It was later learn ed that he had merely seen two men going to work but he knew them both
 The following facts were brought out at the inquest: Antonio Romero and Refugio Mendoza wIlo had known each other for sixteen years, arrived in the city from the 4. S c. road where they had been working. They had been paid at Wickenburg, where Romero received $1O.5O and Mendoza a little more than SS. Coming to town they were about with acquaintances drink ing. They spent the most of the time at the house of Victor Sanchez, where they stayed until a late hour when Mendoza went away and went to bed. Another man by the name of Sanchez a noodle peddler, came around and Romero bought some noodles of him and went with him to a saloon in the block to get change for dollar, which Sanchez had been unable to change.
 Several other Mexicans were in the party among them one, Alvarez. Fin ally Romero went out Sanchez was the last to see him and he said he started south. That was sometime af- ter l o'clock in the morning.
 After ? o'clock, Mark Twain, who happened to be in that part of town was waiting under a car shed not far from the. depot, for a friend. While he waited three or four men stopped on the platform of the depot and en- gagged in 3 quarrel. The conversation was carried on in Spanish. One of the men kept saying to another member of the party "cOme on." At length they

If a dealer asks you $400 for a piano, and after much negotiation consents to accept $25O. don't think for a mo ment that you have an opportunity to secure a s4OO piano for S250: but make note of the fact that he tried to get S4O0 for a $250 piano. Also re- member that you could get it from us at S25O and even less without any pre- liminary talk, and thus save your time. Bear in mind that when you buy a Baldwin. 9 Weber, a Chase a Behr Bros. and other high grade pianos for which we are direct manufacturers agents, you obtain the very best as low as $35O on easy payments.

Private advices received in Eel Paso,
Tex, Friday from Mexico City, states
that the Mexican government has rat
flied the treaty with the government
of the United States referring to the
great irrigation dam at Engle, sixty
miles above Ell Paso.
This action brings to an amicable
settlement a bone of contention be-
tween the to republics and litigation
that has been pending for ten years,
and settles the claim for $4,000, 600
which the Mexican government filed
against the United States for damages
on account of deprivation of water
rights in the upper Rio Grande and
riparian rights in the lower stream
Thus is removed the last obstacle in
the way of the completion of the

M. Gregor some time ago, while a

having stolen a valuable diamond from
her. 1t was found in bottle of tooth

Gregor. When confronted with the
circumstantial evidence of the theft
the Russian declared that it was the
work of a spiteful servant, but later
changed his defense and blamed the
count, who was said to have sought re-
yenge.
A complaint was made against M.
Gregor, but the countess withdrew it
on the plea that she had decided not
to prosecute, but insisting on the facts
of her deposition. Gregor brought suit
for SANDER and defamation of charac-

done only after the count had refused

Value of French Churches.
Under the new French law, which il
the cause Of the war between the state
and the Vatican, church property valued
at $200,000,000 has been confscated. For
any other but religious uses, however, it
has much less value. Recently an aban-
doncd church which cost $4,000 was sold
fer $3.50, or the value of the material
after the cost of demolition.
Many French Catholics feel that they
are simply being robbed of their prop
erty, but state and church have been
united for ages in that country and the
titles to the real estate and buildings
are by no means perfectly clear. Some
of the land was originally set aside by the
state and some of the churches were in
part built by money raised by taxes.
In different centuries the question OF
ownership has been disputed.
During the revolution of 1883 every
scrap of church property was taken by
the state and the entire priesthood driven
out of the country. In 1901 Napoleon
made new concordat, by which he did
not restore title to the property, but
gave an allowance of $S,0O0,000 year to
the church and permitted it to use
churches. rectories and other buildings
The republican motto, Liberty, equality
and fraternity" which the reyolutionists
put over the churches in token of own
ership, was never taken down and to-
day still asserts the supremacy of the
state.
When the new law for the separation
OF church and state was passed it was
believed that title to all property should
lie within the state, but that the churches
could still be used for religious purposes,
is LAY associations" or vestries be organ
lied to manage the properties. This plan
had to be abandoned when the Pope or
dered the French hierarchy not to agree
to the formation of LAY associations"
They have obeyed implicitly and so the
national church of France of to-day has
no organized body which the state recog-
nizes. The French ambassador to the
Vatican was withdrawn some time ago.
