GRUESOME FIND
IN CITY CREEK
Body of Japanese Merchant Is
Found Hanging to a Tree
in Canyon.
LETTERS SHOWED INTENT
DOMESTIC TROUBLES PROMPTED
HIM TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

After two days search the body Of Y.
Narumi, japanese merchant of this
city, was found hanging to a tree about
two miles up City Creek canyon Friday
afternoon The body was located as the
result Of finding a letter at NarUmi' s
home in which he said he was going to the
canyon to commit suicide. 5. Yamazawa
and 5. Marta, two of the dead man. for
mer employees. who have been searching
for him since Wednesday. found the body
at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon and i'm
medistely notified the police. The patrol
wagon with several officers was sent to
the canyon and the officers cut the body
down. II was later removed to Eber w
Halls undertaking paTloTs.
Narumi did not put in an appearance
Wednesday morning at his office at &c
Richards street, but little attention was
given to the matter. At noon ne did not
arrive and an effort was made to locate
him
All day Thursday YamaZawa and Mar
tia continued their search for their EN-
ployer- Friday morning they visited his
home at O. Second avenue ana here the
first clue to his strange disappearance
was discovered On opening his desk the
two japanese found five letters which had
been written Tuesday night in which ne
told Of his intention of killing himself
The letters were addressed to his wife
his mother. father. sister and L. kuno, an
emplOye. He stated in his letters the. he
intended to kill himself and that his body
would be found in City Creek canyon.
Planned to Shoot Himself.
A search of the canyon was Immediately
begun and after a hunt of several hours
the body was found about two miles from
the mouth of the canyon hanging from
a limb of birch tree. From the position
in which the body was hanging il is be-
lieved that Narumi adjusted the rope
around his neck while sitting on the limb
OF the tree and then jumped off. His fee
were hanging about four inches from the
ground. Living on the ground near his
feet a package containing a new Smith &
Wesson revolver and a box of cartridges
were found. The package had never been
opened. NaTumi had evidently intended
at first to shoot himself, then changed
his mind. The rope with which he was
hanging was half-inch hemp about three
feet long.
When the police arrived on the scene
with Coroner Hanks. the body was cut
down and ordered removed to Eber W
Halls There is no doubt but Narumi
committed suicide and no inquest viii be
held.

FLOOD SITUATION
UNDER CONTROL
Flood Waters of ParIey'S Creek
Turned Into Reservoir and
Pressure Is Relieved.
FLUME is BEING REPAIRED
SUPT. HOLIDAY BELIEVES THE
WORST is OVER.

After thirty-six hours of hard work the
employees of the waterworks department,
under the direction of Superintendent
Holiday, last night appeared To have the
flood situation under control. The water
supply Of the city is still limited TO City
creek. but the conservation of this supply
was so careful that last evening prsc-
ticaily all danger of a water famine was
passed Under favorable conditions en-
plOyes of the waterwOrks department will
have the Cottonwood water supply re-
stored to the mains by tomorrow morn
ing
Late last night the temporary flume
was put in operation to carry the flood
waters of Parley's creek into the big res
eTvOir and out through the fioOdgates into
the spiilway and thence back to the nat
ural bed of the creek. The opening OF
the channel through the reservoir has re
lieved the critical situation at the broken
flume below the reservoir, where the
flood waters had begun to undermine the
Rio Grande tracks.
The turning of the waters into the res
ervoir has given the workmeu the Oppor-
tunity to repair the broken conduit from
Big Cottonwood and also the fiume the
breaking of which caused such disastrous
results. Temporary repairs at this break,
it is expected. will be completed by to-
morrow morning so that the Big Cotton
wood waters may once more flow INTO
the water mains. The repairs will be
made more permanent as time permits

FRUIT GROWERS EXPECT

The present demand Is mostly from

expect berries to come in from the
southern states within a month. but
prices will not be much cheaper
until early summer, when the home
grown berries appear.
Indications point to the heaviest
fruit crop this season that Colorado
has had in many years. Winter

trees are much stronger for the rest

TARIFF ANIIcIPATIoNs.

Washington, March l6-Among the
changes in the tariff that are expect
ed by we'll informed congressman is a
cut In lumber Of 50 to 81. On coal
there are radical differences. One
coterie advocates reciprocal arrange
ment with Canada aud another is op-
posed to 1t. Glass and manufactures
thereof are pretty sure to suffer a
substantial reduction, as it is under.
stood the glass trust has something
closely approaching a monopoly of
the home market and is making
large profits. Textiles also will show
reductions, thought with careful
discrimination.
1t may be taken for granted that
the textile men have little to fear
from revision. as the revenue from
textiles is too large to lose. The
raw wool men may lose a little and
woolmen will be trimmed some but
both interests could stand a sizable
cut without being imperilled. So
strong is the popular demand that
raw materials will suffer the greatest
cut; for the committee will not dare
to resist the pressure of public opin-
ion, especially as it has been shown
in the hearings that the duties on
hides. lumber. coal and some other
articles were either imperative or
not needed.

MAY BRING SUIT FOR
MONEY THAT is MISSING

There was some talk today Of suit
being instituted here which would be a
little out OF the ordinary for Chicka-
sha The intention OF the suit, If insti-
tuted, is to recover for money which
it is alleged the party making COM
plant lost while guest at local hotel.
The gentleman in question alleges
that he arrived in the city about II
o'clock last night; that he took a
room at first-class hotel and with
that feeling of safety which comes with
hlgh-priced lodgings, slept soundly, but
that when he awoke this morning it
was to find that his pockets were min
us ten-dollar BILL besides some small
change-and that while the door to
his room was yet locked, the key was
merely hanging to the lock, indicating.
as he thinks. that it was removed, the
door unlocked, and then locked from
the outside.
The gentleman states that when he
reported his loss and his suspicious to
the hotel management, he was told to
60 to the party that got his money If
ie wanted it back This apparent lack
of respectful consideration, the gentle
Mcn AYERS, is humiliating in that it
suggests lack of faith in his veracity
OF positive disregard Of any loss which
he might sustain while a guest Of the
house
