e. !. Ceilings STORE
OPENS OCTOBER ISL
Will Display a Fine Stock Of Vehicles
and Harness Bought During the
Summer.

f. T. Ceilings and family have re-
turned home after an extended trip in
the east. Mr.. Ceilings spent most of
his time in the buggy and harness fac
tories of the east, selecting the stock
for his new store which will be opened
about October 1st.
Mr.. Ceilings has leased the building
known as the Adams Skating rink. on
Adams street between the Hotel Ad-
ans and The Republican office and
proposes to put in the most complete
stock of vehicles and harness that has
ever been shown in Phoenix. The
building is a large and roomy struct-
ure, centrally located and will make a
fine storeroom for that sort of a stock,
while Mr.. Ceilings has devoted the
greater part of the summer to its Sc
lection.
1t is not a new line or an experiment
for Mr.. Ceilings for a large part of his
life was spent in that business before
he came to Arizona. He understands
the business thoroughly and knows
the people of the valley quite well. so
he may reasonably hope for a large
measure of success. He brought with
him from the east a competent harness
maker also to assist him in that
branch Of the business and he will
therefore be prepared to manufacture
and repair harness as well as to sell
ready made goods.

McClintock to draw them. This he
did. and tied the string in the back
in a peculiar knot of his own, one
that he nearly always uses. This same
characteristic knot was found in the
mains of the underwear by the cor
oner's jury.
The circumstances of McFarland's
death were published in this paper at
the time. As near as Mr.. McClintock
can recollect his partner left Phoenix
on the fourth of February. McClin-
took was taken sick and could not ac-
company him, but o. ID. Merrill of
Mesa went along. At the Verde river
some two or three days later, McFar-
land started across horseback, but the
horse fell with him and that was the
last seen of him until the discovery of
the skeleton Tuesday.
After listening to all the available
evidence in the case the jury rendered
a verdict to the effect that the re-
mains were those of John ID. McFar-
land and that to the best of my belief.
he came to his death by drowning on
or about the 9th day of Feb. 1907.

THE JURYS VERDICT.
The Identity Of the Skeleton Found,
Established Almost Beyond
Doubt.

There is now very little doubt but
that the skeleton found above town in
the river bed the first of this week
was that of John ID. Mcfarland, as
mentioned in yesterdays Republican.
Night before last Frank McClintock Of
Phoenix, son-in-law of Mcfarland.
was talked TO by phone. He agreed to
come to Tempe the next day and he
came over on the afternoon train, ac-
companied by his brother. w. w. Nc
Clintock. The last named was a min
ing partner Of Mcfarland for twenty
years and probably knew the deceased
better than any man living. He viewed
the skeleton and the remains of the
clothing and said that he was sure in
his own mind that il was all that was
left of his partner. According to Mr..
McClintock, Mcfarland was II years
OF age at the time of his death and had
not over half dozen teeth as the
skull showed. Also his hair was light
another point. 1t was the clothing
however that best bore out Mr.. Nc
ClintOck's proof He and the dead
man left their camp at Payson the
latter part of last January for Phoe-
nix. after supplies. Just before reach
ing Phoenix the first of February,
they washed all their clothing and Nc
Farland put on a new pair of heavy
underdrawers and new overalls. The
underdrawers were not tight enough

BITTEN BY PROXY.

1t is not often that one is bitten
by n rattlesnake in the same manner
as L. r. Johnson and his son Angus.
They were recently out hunting. and
their bird dog was bitten on the
tongue by a RATHER. Mr.. Johnson and
Angus examined the bite and gave the
dog remedies to counterfeit the poison.
In doing so they got some of the VEN
ON i'm stratches on their hands. They
did not realize this until both became
very sick and had to call in a doctor.
The doctor pronounced it poisoning,
but was not aware Of the snake cpl
sode. until some days later. He then
understood that he was treating a rat
tlesnake bite ''by proxy" This week
Mr.. Johnson had to have an opera
ton performed on his thumb. where
a running sore had developed from the
incubation Of the poison, and now
has a much smaller thumb than for
merly. Hereafter he will wear gloves
when he fools with a rattlesnake bite.

in the day, Mrs. Corbell and her
daughter also went to Phoenix. but
this fact attracted no particular notice
since they frequently make trips there.
While in Phoenix, Mr.. Brown spfed
around. and when there was no one
who knew him in sight, hurried TO the
court house and procured the neces-
sary license. He had a narrow escape
there however for Attorney Woolf

time and the frustrated young man
was forced to dodge back of the water
cooler to avoid detection. The young
people were not seen together during
the da-, but at 3 o'clock that evening
with Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Corbell and
Louis and Mable Corbell. they were
quietly married at the Baptist par
sonage. Rev. Coats officiated. After
the ceremony a sumptuous repast was
served the wedding party at the Amer
lean Kitchen and the young couple de-
parted for Los Angeles. on the 2:25
Santa Fe train. They expect to locate

Both bride and groom are among
Temples best known young people.
Both are graduates of the Tempe
Normal. the bride with the class of
1905 and the groom the next year.
Miss Corbell enjoyed the distinction
of taking the scholarship prize the
year of her graduation. She has taught
two successful terms in the Yuma city
schools and only resigned her posi-
ton there this year the first of the
week. She is the daughter OF Mrs.

of Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Brown, and

THE ROBBER HAS FLOWN
the CHINAMAN GONE
The Robbed Gardener Took His Dead
Friend Along in His Trunk and
Beat the Railroad Company.

The box in which Chinese gardener
kept his funds, some time ago stolen
together with its contents, has been at
last brought into the spotlight and the
identity of the robber has been dis
covered. but that individual has flown
the coop, and has not been located.
The Chinaman. too. has since departed
for his celestial kingdom. but that is
another story. The amount over which
he is mourning is something like $50.
On July 2 Marshal Moore arrested
Cornelias Contrarez. a Mexican. on
suspicion of being the party who sep
arated the Chinese gardener from his
money. but the Mexican told how well
he was connected in Tucson. and be-
sides no evidence was obtained suffi-
cient to hold him prisoner, so he was
released The officers were looking for
the box in which the Chinaman kept
his money but no trace of 1t could be
found. 1t transpires that Corneiias had
partner or pal who goes by the name
of Felipe Velerta and at other times
answers to the name of Frank Mar
tinez. Both Cornelias and his partner
are cocaine users. They owned a
spoon. in which to heat the cocaine
before shooting the dope into the body.
Cornelias grew supicious of his pal
and the notion came into his head that
he was trying to poison him. In fact
II Is said that he did discover that
Felipe was putting some kind Of pois-
on in the spoon in which the dope was
heated, so Cornelias would get occa-
sional shots of II when taking the CO.
caine.
Cornelias at once told the police that
his partner was trying to get rid of
him, and further said that he knew
him 10 be the fellow who robbed the
Chinese gardener of $50 some time
before. He was through with Felipe
ne said and would not use dope out of
the same spoon any longer. At the
time the police did not credit his story
because he was dopehead and there
was no evidence TO substantiate the
story. so Felipe was not arrested.
Later the box was found in the house
occupied by Felipe. thus substantial
ing the story of Cornelias. The OFF,
GERS were on the trail of Felipe but
he eluded them and has flown to parts
unknown. The box found was a typi-
,uintSt int II
ing used by anybody else than willy
celestial.
The Chinaman after the robbery de-
cided to go home to his folks in Pekin
and also wished to take along the re-
mains of a dead friend who was buried
in the Chinese burying ground in this
city. He got a permit to disinter the
body. not stating his purpose, and to
beat the railroad company out of the
price ne would have to pay for taking
along a corpse. he 6.cvised another
scheme which worked well and saved
expense. He took the body and fold
ed it away in the bottom of his trunk
where it would be out OF the way. and
not interfere with access to his ward
robe. his pipe and other belongings. In
that way he fixed it and travelled to
Frisco and probably he or some other
Chinaman. going across the waters
reached Pekin all right and the body
of his friend now rests on Chinese
soil. And so ends the reading of the
chapter.

benefits, the interests which center
about this great waterway are suffi-
cient to prevent its robbery.
The Mississippi river below St. Louis
does not need water, but traffic. to
create a commerce. Nor is il probable
that this requisite to the extensive use
of the river as a highway would be
supplied to any great extent by the
Chicago connection.
Even the traffic of St. Louis TO the
south has been diverted from the river
by the railroads. There is no great
north and south movement of freights
that demands greater facilities than
the railroads can supply and there will
not be at least until the completion OF
the Panama canal
The Chicago connection would not
send any more wheat and corn south
for export. nor would il bring any more
lumber and cotton north. II could not
change the natural direction of trade
fixed by supply and demand, nor alter
the current of commerce.

as the cattle are paid for. Yester-

Altogether this firm has about 200
head of cattle on hand. and has sew
en- hundred more contracted for from

from these cattle come back to Mesa
and is consumed by the very people
who raise the stock. Besides the
