 OFFICIALS

TUCSON. Nov 12..-One of the most affling mysteries that the local cal authorities have been called upon to unrayel has been called to the at tention of Sheriff Nelson. That off cial and his deputies and the. local notably the immigration authorities, are conducting 8 quiet, but rigid investigation which may re- suit iD revealing. the identity of a Mexican murderer and unearthing the body of a murdered Chinaman.
 One of the alleged principals in the affair is already under arrest and sew eral others are being sought by the sehriff and the, immigration author ities. The search which is now be ing consistently conducted and the detention of an alleged alien China man by the local immigration author ities are the result of the receipt of an anonymous communication re- ceiyed Saturday by J. J. Murphy, in spector in charge at the local immi- grafton station.
 The letter, which it is believed was written by an Americanized China man, informs the authorities that the murder was the outcome of an at temp to smuggle Chinese into this country from old Mexico. It stated that Mexican was hired to smuggle eontraband Chinese into this country, and after getting them safely across the line to guide them to Tucson. Two Chinamen were being brought into Tucson in this manner when one of them qusrreled with the Mexican and in an ensuing fight was killed and his body buried within a few miles gfz the city. The other Chinaman ia cha: ge of the Mexican smuggler was blcught safely to Tucson and was SC creted in this city, the letter giving the authorities clew to the mans hiding place. The alleged alien Chi naman, who gives his name as Nu Sing, was found hidden at the place named in the letter. was taken into custody by Immigration Inspecto, Musgrave, and was yesterday giver a hearing before United States Com missioner o. T. Richley, charged witl being in this country unlawfully, but the government will likely not mak, any disposition of his case until aftei there has been solution of the mys tery surrounding the contents of the anonymous communication.
 When seen yesterday J. Murphy head of the immigration forces here admitted that chad received sue. letter, but declined to make public any details surrounding the case, sta. ing that il was not tl.e policy of tn government to give cut news in sue mstters until after thorough inves tigation. Mir Murphy did state ths he has every reason to treat th' matter seriously.
 Because of the fact that the con traband Chinaman was discovered i the place designated in the anon1 nous letter, the authorities have n reason to doubt the rest of the stor and will prosecute a close investig; tion until the matter has been sati! factorily cleared.
