In the Yuma jail three Japanest are now receiving care after mos. strenuous trip cut of Mexico. They were brought 10 Yuma by ". A. Bra. gil. who encountered them aimlessly wandering in the vicinity of Araba. a station on the Southern Pacific rail road, near Yuma.
 The Nipponese had tramued from the Mexican village of Sonita to inc point where they were picked up by the Inspector. hundred miles of the trip across being made absolutely without food and with but two can. teens of water. There were four in the party originally, but one of the poor chaps became exhausted and was left on the desert A rescuing party or MeXicans was sent out from Araby Tor this one, but they were unable to find any traces of him. The railroad workmen at Araby had fed and cared for the three surviving travellers. but the Japanese still show evidences of the priyations they have endured. All three speak fluent Spanish, although the one who has been longest in Mex ico came less than two years ago. Their passports show that they sailed from Kobe.

 The sheriff finally prevailed on the old man to accompany him to Thor eau, twenty miles distant. and placed him in charge of deputy. while he returned to Moore's camp with team of horses and brought the mans outfit to Thoreau also Moore declared that he had a team of horses of his own several months ago. but that some one poisoned them and that people had been trying to poison him ever since Moore is un- able to say where his home is. but has evidently travelled all over the west in his day, talking quite intelli gently about places in Montana. Ida ho, Wyoming, Arizona and other west ern states and territories.
 Upon the preteXt that he was bring ing him to Albuquerque to hospital, Moore consented to accompany Sher- if Talie to this city. where he was placed in the city jail. He agreed to accompany the officer to Las Vegas, but said that he knew they would either poison him or cut of his head there. The old man dislikes railroad trains and says that he has always travelled overland. by wagon and as far from the railroad track as he could get.

ROUSE HAS SUICIDE;
 WAS 4 MINING MAN
George Donan BatheS, Dresses Himself and Sends Bullet
 Through Heart

'Boys, I'm going to shuffle off, Q said George Doman Of Des Moines , Iowa, to his three partners. who were looking over mining properties al Rouse. Saturday. His companions laughed at him and thought little more about his words.
 Sunday morning, Doman went to tn 2 Eddy barber shop. took bath, put on white shirt, dressed himself all in black. including black tie. and then. carefully opening the shirt front so as not to soil it with blood, pressed the muzzle of a revolver to his left side and shot himself through the
 few moments bsfore the shot rang out in the barber shop, Doman had called out from the bath. asking that razor be sent in. Az all the razors in the shop were in use at the time. this request was not complied with.
 Several Of Doman's companions were in the barber shop at the time. and rushed into the bathroom at the report. as did every one else who was within hearing distance. They found Duman lying on the floor The man whom he had told the day before that he was going to ''shuffle off" raised him from the floor and said: Well, yeu did it. all right" Yes, I did it." replied Doman. &eebly. A moment later he said: Send me back home" and died.
 Doman was one of four mel who had been working at Swansea on the Clara mines. Ii is said that the men were laid off, and then went to Bouse 10 see if they could lease some of the Little Butte property. They were talk en over the Little Butte claims on Sat urday by J. E. Meyer. the president of the company. When they were about to return 10 Bouse. which is four miles from the Little Butte, Doman complained of feeling i'll. Meyer sug- gested that they all ride back. but Do man said he would rather walk.
 One of the peculiar features of the suicide is that there was not a single physician in the town. that the cor oner could not be reached by wire. and there were no public officials to take charge of the body. In addition. it was the first death that has oc- cured in the new miaing town, and If Doman is buried there. his will be the first grave.
