GREAT MYSTERY

about his death, as there was about
that of his sister. Helen ornaur. v no

was the second tragic event In the
family of Harris Orneur within a

in hotel In Niagara Falls, and al.

body which tended to indicate that
she had taken her own life, there were
circumstances surrounding the trag

friends to believe that her death had
come to her by some other nand than
her own.
In many respects the boys death is
more mysterious. In her case the note
was found and also package which
had contained cyanide Of potassium.
while thorough search of the Ornaur
home this morning failed to disclose
a scrap of paper or anything In which
poison could have been kept. The
only reason for believing the young

 Near Holtville.

The body of James Coons, one of the best-known farmers and stock breeders in Imperial Valley, was found by a Zanjero- last Wednesday in a field of the Coons ranch near Holt vile. Decomposition had advanced to a stage indicating that the man had died nearly. week. before the body was discovered, and the condition was such that it was impossible to deter mine by superficial inspection whether death had been caused by disease or by violence.
 It was known that MT. Coons had recently drawn about S1200 from the bank, and as the money was not found immediately, suspicion Uf robbery and murder was aroused. Coroner Mitchell and Dr. Peterson made an examina- tion of the body and Round no evidence of violence. The condition of internal organs was such that the physicians concluded that MT. Coons died sud denly of rupture of the heart,
 MT. Coons lived alone on the ranch, but had children residing in other parts of the State.

 There is supposed to be a scheme to put in three trustees who will squint at surreptitious liquor selling, but it is not easy to pick three men in the list who would antagonize the decent public opinion of the town in that way. Possibly two or three of the candidates would be in favor of lie ense, if the question were brought to an issue, but out of the list can be picked five men totally opposed to liquor selling in Fl Centro.
 Mr. Blanchard wants to get off the ticket and makes this announcement of his desire:
 To Citizens of Fl centro.
 Owing to press of other matters, it would be impossible for me, if elected trustee at the coming election, to give the necessary time and attention to city affairs, and as it is impossible to take my name off the ticket (which, by the way, was put on without my consent), I wish to ask whoever may have intended to vote for me, to please not do so.
