CUTICURA CURED HIM
 NEVER TROUBLED SINCE

My little grandson when a year old mad eczema all over his whole body and head. It lasted nearly three years. He had big sores on his head and the mat ter would run from them. He suffered rom the itching and burning and would scratch until he would bleed. He was 8 perfect sight. We tried every kind of salve and soap but they did no good. After spending hundreds of dollars. and having several doctors, which did him no good, we saw the Cuticura Remedies ad- vertised and we got some to see if they would help him. We used the Cuticura Soap to wash him with and then applied the Cuticura Ointment. They cured him nicely. He is now five and has never been bothered with it since. Mrs. David Ames.

 HER THREAT \ Fatal Shot Self Inflicted
 by Connie Jerman WORDS WITH HER MOTHER Followed the Suicidal Act The Sixteen Year Old Girls Only Explanation Was, 1T Did it Because 1 Said I Would.
WORDS WITH HER MOTHER

Connie Jerman. sixteen year old girl. committed suicide -by shooting yesterday morning at the home of her mother. Mrs Taylor. living short dis tance this side of Six Points. The indications are that the act was com mitted in a fir of spite. The girl was handsome and was generally liked but she was headstrong and her mother had great deal of trouble with her about young men companions.
 Yesterday smorning two young men passed the house while hunting for tarantulas They asked her to ac- company them and she did so On her return shortly before II o'clock her mother scolded her and a bitter quarrel ensued. At last the mother said that unless her daughter ceased talking she would can a neighbor and al the same time started toward the door The daughter replied that if the neighbor were called she would kill herself
 The episode took place in the kitch- CT and as soon as the mother had gone ou; she heard the report of a revolver. She returned and found her daughter lying on the floor bleeding from a wound in the breast The clothing had been burned by the flame from the weapon The ball had passed through the left lung. emerging below the left shoulder blade
 Dr. Tafel was summoned and arrived in very short time< The girl had not vet recovered consciousness. When she did she rejected all efforts to aid her and pleaded to be left to die.
 She was taken to the Sisters hos pital where she fingered until five o'clock yesterday afternoon. pr. Tafel frequently asked her in the course of the afternoon why she had shot her self Her only reply was, Because l said I would"
 There is some doubt whether she ac- tually meant to inflict >a fatal wounh but it is suspected that she intended to carry out her threat to the extent of only discharging the weapon and perhaps inflicting only trifling wound
 Coroner Johnson had been notified of the affair in the morning but at that time it was understood that the shooting had been accidental and would probably not be fatal As soon as the girl was dead he summoned a jury for an inquest which will be held this morning.

TWO MAJORS ELECTED
 BY NATIONAL GUARD Captains DonkersIeS of Yuma and Reisineer of Clifton Receive
 the Commissions.

At an election of the National Guard of Arizona, held in the office of Col- onel James H McClintock last night, Captain H. H.. Donkersley of Yuma was elected unanimously as major of the Second battalion. and Captain Paul Reisinger of Clifton was elected major of the Third battalion. In the latter case there was something of contest as there were two candidates for the commission. The second was Captain H. G. Coykendall of Prescott. who re- ceived a number of votes.
 The election board consisted of Colo mel McClintock, Major Carl Hayden and Captain F.. P. Grinstead. The vot- ing was done bS mail. The election of two more majors was necessitated by the new regulation that the x. G. of A. is to have three majors instead of one as heretofore.

INQUEST HELD IN
LONELY BUNGALOW
Evidence Throws No Light on
Murder Of Mrs. WOOdiIL

st. Michaels, Md, June 29-The
coroner's inquest into the death of
Mrs Edith May Woodill was resumed
in the lonely bungalow of Robert e.
Eastman, where the murder was COM
mitted, and within sight of his grave.
After hearing three witnesses, who
gave interesting testimony but devel-
oped nothing to materially change the
complexion of the strange case, the
jury adjourned to go to Mcdaniel,
where additional testimony is being
taken
William Sutton, who went to the
shack TO ask Eastman TO attend a re-
ligious meeting, definitely fixed the
time of his visit as Sunday afternoon
between 5 and o'clock This also
definitely es the time of the murder
as occurring on Sunday night. Sutton
swore positively that he heard Mrs.
Woodill's voice II was conversational
In tone and there was nothing TO indi-
cate that she and Eastman were or
had been engaged In quarrel.
George Powell, a second witness,
testified that he spent all day Sunday
at Sutton's farm, within view of the
bungalow, and that he saw no one go
near the shack that day Powell said
he met Eastman on Wednesday in
front of the bungalow and that for
the first time in their acquaintance
Eastman did not ask him to come In.
Mrs. Eastman, widow of the suicide,
came to st. Michaels to claim the
money and property of her late hus.
band. In absence of proof of her we'd
ding the authorities would not give
the property up.
