l UNKNOWN MAN
 DIES FROM THIRST

recall no man disappeared during the past year, who might have died from exposure or suicide the other side of the Agua Fria.
 In that part of the desert where the body was found there are no ranches. Cattle are frequently run there, but the travel is light, even among cow boys. This accounts for the body ly- ing so long undiscovered.
 Deputy Davis is not expected back with the body until late tonight. There is a possibility that he cannot cross the Agua Fria on account of the rains of the past two days
 This afternoon Deputy Davis tele- phoned to the sheriffs office that the , water in New river, i've miles this side the Agua Friaf is so hign that i, to cross would be dangerous, and that he will wait until tomorrow, in all probability. Should ae not be able to cross this afternoon, Davis will not get back until some time tomorrow.

PHOENIX, Feb. 6.-To gather up the remains of an unknown man, found yesterday morning twenty-five miles from Phoenix on the west side of the Agua Fria river, Deputy Sherin Wayne Davis left Phoenix this morn ing, accompanied by an employe or Easterling & Whitney.
 While running cattle on the desert about five miles west of the Agua Fria river yesterday morning Charles Reaksecker and Hank Barry, who live at Alhambra, found the body, buy did not get report of their discovery to Justice Johnstone until o'clock yes terday afternoon.
 Johnstone communicated with Sner- if Hayden. It was then too late to start for the body, and early this morning Deputy Davis left for Alham- bra, where he was joined by Reak- seeker and at o'clock left Alhambra for where the skeleton was found.
 Reaksecker reported the matter to the authorities, but was unable to give little information outside of the fact that with Barry he had found the body on the desert.
 Ou LDe ISludiLS was q COGI ttlu Aa but one pocket of this did ReakseckeT and Barry make an effort to find any papers that might throw light on the identity of the dead man.
 In the outside pocket of the coat they found several pieces of rock, which led to the presumption that the deceased was a prospector, and had lost his life while tramping the desert to water. He died in a part of the desert in which the nearest water is several miles away during the sum mer season.
 The condition of the. body, of which scarcely anything but the bones re- mained, indicated that the man had been dead several months and possi- ply a year. Enough of the hair re mained to indicate that he was prob ably a white man. Nothing was found around the body to indicate suicide.

Lowell, Feb. 6, 1908.

Lowell, Feb. 6, 1908. Professor Philbrook called up the Review today and asked that We cor rect the statement in Thursdays Re view, stating that children not vac cinated, would be excluded from the public school, also asking our author ity for the statement, as the statutes of the territory made no provision for compulsory vaccination, nor the exclu- sion of children who were not vac cinated. Our authority for the state ment objected to by Professor Phil brook is a note sent to a Lowell mother, which reads as follows:
 T am sorry, but your children must be vaccinated or they cannot attend school. Yours sincerely,
 MISS ." As can be seen by the above, the Review had ample authority to pub fish the article, as this note, although the teacher may or may not have au- thority for giving this ultimatum.
 When Professor Philbrook's atten- tion was called to the above note he stated that the teacher in question had exceeded her authority and his or ders.
