Remains Of a Negro Found In a Swamp.

Barnwell, April 3. - Coroner g. s.
Walker held an inquest over the dead
body of a negro found in S~alkehatohie
Swamp on yesterday, and identified by
his relatives to be that of Joe Stokes.
His hand was some three yards from his
body and his skull broken, and his hands
and feet were also lying some few feet
away. He was decayed and eaten up, 30
that it was only by his clothing that
Identification could be made. A black
silk handkerchief, which he always wor
around his neck, was found.
The particulars are about as follows:
A man of questionable blood secured
board in the town Of Allendale for him
self and wife, who was q negro woman,
with Patience Robinson, also a negroes.
He claimed to BIO o doctor and fortune
teller, and it appeared that he tried to
employ Joe Stokes, who had q good
horse and wagon, to travel around with
them, but failed. They finally succeeded
in employing Joe to take them and their
trunks to Barnwell on last Wednesday,
the 9th ultimo. They were seen about
8 O'Clock near Morris Ford, q crossing
come four miles from here, on Sake
hatchie.
DR.. Jeems, as he termed himself, bOr-
rowed five dollars from the marshal at
Allendale to pay the fare of his wife to
Sumter, whore he said sho came from.
He also borrowed a pistol from Provi-
denoe Robinson, his landlady, and stated
to her that Joe Stokes could make q
great deal more money travelling with
them than he could on the farm, and
that they wanted him to go on with
them, and should he not return she
might know that he was working for
them. The next day after DR.. Jeems and
the m were seen on tho wsstern side
of Barnwell, and camped that night
within two miles of Williston. They
tried to trade their wagon for o top
buggy, and next day drove into Willis
ton and tried to sell both horse and
wagon, and later were seen going In the
direction Of Aiken. .1gs., Eb
The searching party found Joe Stokes
yesterday IN the swamp. They also
found that the wagon track left the road
and went through an old field, down into
the swamp, within fifty yards Of where
the body was found. The buzzards fly
ing directed the party. Sheriff F. Fl.
Creeoh and Solicitor j. e Davis are
doing all they q to get the Governor to
offer q reward of two hundred dollars fol
the arrest Of tho murderer.

ASKED SHERIFF'S OFFICE
TO HELP FIND HIS TEAM
Deputy Montoya Found Wagon at
Neighhor's and Team in Clark's
Own Corral at Faiarito-Doesn't
Know How Horses Got Home.

Mystery surrounds the disappear
and sudden temperance of a wagon
and team belonging to A.. E.. Clark, a
merchant of Parjarito, who yesterday
morning applied to the sheriff's office
for deputy sheriffs to aid him in hunt
ing for his outfit. which he said had
been stolen.
Deputy Montoya was detailed on the
case and spent New Years day helping
the Pajarito merchant out of his trou-
bles. 1t developed during the %investi-
cation that while IN his way home
from Albuquerque Monday night
Clark fen from his wagon and lay
stunned in tine road. The team and
wagon went on. Clark was found by a
friend who revived him and took him
home. The horses and ago had
disappeared, Deputy Montoya after
a short search found the wagon stand
ing near the road not far from Clark's
ranch and later found the horses safe
Iy locked in the Clark corral. Clark
says he does not know how the horses
got in. as the gate was locked
1t is the opinion that friends found
the horses and KNOWN. them to be
Clark's, took them home.

ARIZONA SEALS THE
DOOM OF THE GAMBLER
Poll of Members of Legislature Shows
Majority Are Against the Tiger
and He Must Go.

Gambling in Arizona is to be
stopped.
This sounds almost unbelievable
doesn't it? Nevertheless it is true.
The gambler must go-Arizona has
said it, according to the Williams
News.
A poll OF the members of the next
legislature shows that the majority
favors the repeal of the statute licens-
ing gambling and making it a lawful
business,
Three of the principal cities OF the
territory have adopted prohibitive
licenses and succeeded in driving the
gambler out. Tucson, Douglas and
Phoenix could not make a misde-
meanor of a business recognized by
territorial statute. but at special elee-
tons they voted for a high license,
which makes gambling so Improbable
that it cannot be conducted.
Tucson was first. There lived Eza
G. Bartlett, lean Of the gambling fra.
ternity in Arizona. The front of his
famous palace of chance. the Legal
Tender. bears a sign reading closed. p
Douglas. a city on the International
line. followed. and Phoenix, the capt
tai. recently did likewise.
The last general election in Ari-
zoni surely sealed the loon Of the
gambler in this territory. No lobby
which he can maintain will be able to
pursuade Legislators to break their
promises to their constitunts.

reports the rainfall for the past two
days at 40 inches. says the Prescott

, which have reached here from differ

have been general throughout the nor
thern portion Of the territory. Parties
from the Verde country state that the
river was rising rapidly yesterday and
that the rainfall appeared to be great
err through the Mogollon mountains
than on this side of the river.
Cattle and sheepmen are especially
jubilant over the prospects of a pros
porous year in 1907 and while the
storm has interfered with mining OPP
erations i'm the isolated mountain dis
tricts, mining e as a rule, appear
to be pleased with the prospects for a
good water supply neX year, and look
forward to being able to operate their
milling and reduction plants contin-
uously, the indications now being that
there will be no shortage of water,
compelling them to suspend milling
operations.

CARLOADS or CATTLE
GOING TO MEXICO

Since the duty was taken off Amer
lean cattle by the Mexican government
carloads have been crossing the line To
replenish the rundown ranches in
some parts of Mexico, states the Mex
lean Investor. Almost every day car
loads Of cattle can be seen passing
through Monterey to points in the
southern part of the republic.
Most of the cattle imported from
Texas and points farther north are
fine bred. OF late many fine milch
COWS have been shipped in from Uli-
nois, Kentucky and other tates noted
for fine cattle. These are going to
Mexico City and vicinity for the dalr-
les which are springing up in that
part of the republic. Most Of the fine
breed of cattle are coming from the
northern states of the United States.
and cattle for the ranches are being
shipped mostly from Texas. Arizona
and other southwestern states. At the
present rate it will not take long to
supply Mexico with fine cattle, both
for the range and the dairies.
