YOUNG THOMAS SUCCUMBS ID
 WOUNDS
Passes Away As Result of Be- ing Shot Through the Head by His Brother While In a Jealous Rage.

As climax to the tragic shootins of Southard Thomas on Monday night by his brother, Dee who contends that he misttook him for one whom he had been told was the destroyer of his home the boy died at 9:1O o'clock yesterday morning, and the man who did the shooting will with. out doubt have to face a charge of murder.
 After he had rushed in and disarm- ed his son Dee, who was in the act of committing suicide with the same gun with which he had fired the fatal shots, Charles Thomas, the father called in three physicians, who after an examination was forced to tell the grief-stricken parent that there was no hope for his favorite child Hop ing against his knowledge that death was not far off one of the physicians remained all night at the bedside, do- ing everything possible to bring about some sign of life, but was un- successful, and yesterday morning the end came, while the heart broken par ents looked on
 Coroner Hogan was informed that NAC DOs was hCdO NuC following jury went to the residence: Wm. Harshea, A. Heffner, J. M. Ming how. Thomas Mccarthy, Captain Blackburn, Charles Putt, J. D. Acton, Fred Fuss and H. S. Jones. After viewing the body an adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock this morning when the inquest will be held in the office of the coroner s.ar,
 The father, who is highly respected in the commhnity is heart 0r akeu and does not seem to bear uD under the awful tragedy that has vssitea tine home as well as his wife. rho al- though crushed with grief, heverthe- less maintains an air of fort.tIde.
 All during Monday night the pris- oner would inquire from everyone who went into the jail, concerning the boys condition, and asked piteously if there was no hope for him 10 pull through. Not caring to tell him of the mortal character of the wound, the visitors held out a slight hope. When he learned yesterday morning that death had claimed it's victim he brok1 down again, maonaing distressinS.y but later was able to control hims s:f
 Yesterday long statement DreDaT- ed by Walter Hubbard, the nan whom Thomas came into town 70 k,il, being in a jealous rage after he had heard that this man had attacked the sancity of his home, was given out It is very lengthy, and in 1t are re- viewed every incident connected with the circumstances prior to the kill ing, setting forth facts which wuuli indicate that Hubbard had acted as the mans friend instead of the de- stroyer of his home. Tn the statement the charge was absolutely deniel in a forcible manner.
 The father of the victim and s,ayer yesterday stated that he did not be- Ieve that Hubbard was guilty of the charges made against him, and show ed his confidence by having him take charge of the remains of his murdered boy.
 A peculiar coincidence connected with the shooting was the fact that Thomas used Winchester pump shot gun and that even though he had climbed the wall and stumbled the two loads of shot went through the same hole in the window screen
  in regard to the line of defense which will be used in an endeavor to save the slayer from the gallows or the penitentiary, and it is undoubted that he will be held on charge of mur- der.
 Mrs. George Cobbe, sister of the deceased and the prisoner, whose home is in Madeira, Sonora, was tel egraphed for yesterday morning and is expected to arrive in the city with in the next day or two. What ar rangements will be made for the fun eral are undecided as yet.
 On the streets and in the business houses, as well as the homes of the city the main topic of conversation was the killing, and on every side uni versal regret was expressed for the heartbroken parents, who have lost thsir favorite child only to face the terrible prospect of another son in the shadow of the gallows.
