TELEPHONE SYSTEM
 BEING EXTENDED COUNTY DISTRICTS BROUGHT NEARER TO TOWN Four Miles of New Line in the
 kyrene Section.

Several extensions are being made on the suburban lines of the local telephone line in the vicinity of Kyrene. A line is being run from the Norton ranch to the Kyrene sid ing and another one to the Hansen ranch. By this means, the C. P Mullen ranch, the Hansen ranch, the Whitlow ranch and the siding will all be placed in direct communica- : ton with town.
 This section of the country has enjoyed a wonderful development in recent years and the prospect is bright for even greater advancement next year. MT. Mullen is farming on a large scale and finds a phone very necessary. The Hansen siding is rather an important switch just at this season of the year, while sugar beets are being loaded and a phone there will be a great convent ence.
 The new extension altogether takes about four miles of line and poles. The work is we'll under way now and will be finished in a short time A half mile extension has also been recently made to the Sturgeon ranch under lease to the Turkey Track Cattle company.

 IF MURDER A Dead Body Found Near
 WiCkenbuPg THE .JURYS OPEN VERDICT The Corpse Identified as That of John Mookum- Valuables Known to Have Been in His Possession Missing.
THE JURY'S OPEN VERDICT

1 Wickenburg. AriZ., June 2s.-(Spe- | cial correspondence of The Eepubli- | can. )-Dan Aldridge and J. E. POstom,
 who are driving a team from Phoenix, came into Wickenburs Sunday after
 noon with a gruesOme tale. While
 they were coming up the Hassayampa river just above the railroad bridge that crosses the river, their horses | shied As the team was very tired | they decided to let them rest a while and, having nothing better to do, they
 became curious to know what was the
 cause of the horses shying. They soon came upon pair of shoes and coat i lying just a little ahead of them While
 examining them they caught the odOr of what they believed to be corpse. They traced the smell to a thick un derbrush and then discovered the body
 of man badly decomposed. His head was crushed. The terrified men put on full speed and reported what they saw to the officers here. Acting COrO- ner Riggs immediately left for the scene with coroner's jury composed of the following men: Ike Woods, Wm- Poulson. J. A. Throne, Thomas Bis chop. c. C. Short and T. Kofoed. They had no trouble finding the body and after a careful investigation buried the man on a piece of ground in the vii cinity. The jury then gathered up the
 mans belongings. consisting of his shoes. coat. canteen and hat. and ar rived in Wickenburg late Sunday night At-1O o'clock this morning the follow ing facts were brought out at the cor OneF's hearing:
 The man was a Bohemian. spoke German, and his name was John Moo- kum. Abe Rowe, bartender at Cow els saloon. tells the following story: He says the man came in from F1oren- tines camp about twelve miles from MOrristOwn on Thursday morning: he was warm and thirsty and wanted a
 drink saving he had no cash but several
 checks. Mir Rowe cashed one of them for S1760. He then had breakfast at
 COwelFs hotel and immediately left
 town. saying that he wanted to make

 he was tO meet some one who had a
 job waiting for him. He started down
 the railroad track at d fast walk He
 only carried large bottle of whiskey
 with him, just purchased for the trip. and a canteen of water.
 How the man met his death is a
 mystery which will probably remain
 unsOlved. One theory is that he was struck by train as he sat down to
 rest on the track. The fact that his shoes were removed only tends to
 strengthen such a story. He was very
 tired from walking in the hot sun and !
 drink of whiskey, and another. until
 he fell asleep It is said that he was somewhat hard of hearing and as the
 accident happened near a sharp curve it is more than likely that he was struck by a train and hurled into the
 brush. where he was found. That his
 coat and shoes were found away from
 the track may be explained in the fol-

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness Is caused by an unframed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when It IS en- tirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and unless the ir@'ammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition. hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine rases out of ten are caused by Catarrl which Is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur faces.

A Woman's Browning Glory

Good hair will often atone for a want of grace or classical outline. Tn ones minds eye one can see the cloud of soft gold hair which frames a thin, white face or features that are too misshapen for orthodox beauty: or the masses of rich black hair that make one forget a dull skin, a stern mouth, or a big-boned, lanky figure. Red hair is now much admired; and its ruddy tints bring pardon for many flaws, such as no eye e-brows a sharp chin, a flat nose even freckles. And a woman's looks can be saved from ruin by lovely complexion.-From Plain Women in the July Strand.

WATER IN TURN
 0R NOT AT ALL THOUGH TT MAY MEAN NIGHT WORK FOR SOME. A Fifteen Hour Run Commences Tonight at 10 O'Clock.

The city gets a run of water to- night at ten o'clock for fifteen hours. In this connection Marshal Brown, who has charge of the irrigation water of the city together with the streets and other things, desires to call the attention of the water users to a disagreeable practice that has been long in vogue. When for instance, the water is turned in the town ditches at some hour in the night as it is in this case, the users at the upper end of the ditches are inclined to fail to take the wa- ter at their turn, but wait until the next morning and then take it. While they can hardly be blamed for not wanting to get up in the night to irrigate, this practice works a hardship on those at the lower end of the ditches for just when they are using it, someone above is likely to grab onto it when he should have been through irrigating hours ago. Those on the lower end of the ditch have to irrigate in the night every once in a while so the odds are about even.
 The marshal states that he gener- ally allows from eight to ten hours for the water users east of Mill Ave. to finish irrigating. After that time the water belongs west of that street and hereafter he proposes to see that this rule is enforced to the letter. If a man fails to take the water when it is his turn, he looses out and will have to wait until the next run. for the marshal states em- phatically that after sufficient length of time has elapsed for those east of Mill Ave to finish irrigating every check gate will be taken out and the water will belong entirely west of that street

WICKENBURG DEPARTMENT


lowing way: Some tramp walking down the track might have picked up these articles and as they were not of much value he probably threw them where they were found. Another the ory is that of murder for the purpose of robbery. The dead man had watch and this was missing. That he had more than one check was testi- fled to. but was not found on his per son. He was also known to have had a little loose change before he left This. too, was gone. No trace was found of the bottle of whiskey. A S10 bill, however, was found in one of his pockets. but this may have been over looked by the murderers. The writer says murderers, because if the man was murdered. it took more than one man to commit the crime. If he was mur- dered near the tracks, as he must have been. no blood was visible leading from the rail to the brush where he was found. This proves that the man must have been carried there and not dragged On the other hand. he might have been choked and then dragged to the brush and his skull crushed by throwing the body on the rocks. which are plentiful near the scene where his body was found.
 After much deliberation the jury re- turned the following verdict: John MoOkum came to his death by a blow on the head rendered by some cause to us unknown"
