SPENCER POST MORTEM
 IS POSTPONED

District Attorney Ross of Pres- colt who was in the city Sunday gathering particulars of the sudden death of w. H. Spencer at AshFork writes to Mir. Hamilton and recom- mends postponement of the the post mortem examination. which had been planned for by the local aerie of the F. O. E., of which the deceased was a charter member. The letter of District Attorney Ross reads as follows:
 Prescott, Ariz. Feb 14,191O. MT. Ed. Hamilton, president FOE.
 Williams, Arizona.
 My Dear Sir: I arrived last night on time. I spent three or four hours in Ash Fork yesterday look ing into the matter of Spencer's death. and from what I learned there and in Williams I made up my mind to have a post mortem upon the remains of the deceased not that I was satisfied that any crime had been committed, but with view of clearing up the at mosphere and for relieving the un- settled situation and feeling that exist in Williams.
 Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock I had talk with Dr. Jeffries, and he stated to me that he would un dertake the surgical work at that ed, and named fee of $50 as his compensation, he also said that he would like to have the approval of our Board of Supervisors before he undertook the work. AtAshFork I saw Fred Lyons who assisted the undertaken in taking care ofSpencer and he told me that he would want at least $50 for his services,
 From what I can learn it will require something like $500 to pay experts to analyze the contents of the stomach of the deceased. and

GRAND CANYON IS
 ALREADY PROTECTED

THE NEWS in it's issue of Feb. 5 made short editorial mention of the bill introduced by SenatorF Flint in the senate making the entire Grand Canyon a national monu- ment. THE NEWS in that editorial did not come in support of Senator Flint's bill nor did it declare against it for we were not in posi- tion to do justice one way or the other until we had made thorough investigation of the purpose of the bill. This we have done and in our opinion we believe that the bill introduced by Senator Flint is al. together out of place. The Grand Canyon is already protected by three reserves.
 It seems that Senator Flint's bill is intended to keep out other roads except those of theSantaFe and the Harvey Co.,, and to stop mining and tie up the timber on the entire 1 Grand Canyon reserve on both sides of the canyon. No benefit ts under Flint bill could accrue to any one else but the railroad company. The boundaries as described in the bill are so obscure that nobody but the men who wrote the bill could
 find them.
 Senator Flint could do better to take up the statehood fight in our behalf than to try to take away our most valuable possession. Better postpone this park business until Arizona has a voice in Congress as a sovereign state.
 We would like to know why Sen. Flint introduced this bill without consulting Arizona's delegate in congress before he becam me respop- sible for such infamous measure Being from Los Angeles he should be our natural protector in the senate, but as 1t now stands Arizona

Mysterious Woman Is Dead

Refusing to reveal her identity and far from home or friends, a woman giving the name of Grace Jones snccumbed to the dread white plague in,the hospital this morn ing at 9:3O o'clock. Since her ad- mission into the institution, Oct. 2. she has persistently refused to give any account of her previous history, relatives or family, with the excep- tion that she came here from Williams. It is believed by the attendants that Grace Jones was not her true name. She admitted few months ago that she had been married. It is reported that she has two children attending Saint Vincent's college in Los Angeles but the report could not be con- 6rmed.
 She gave her age as thirty and her nativity Scotland when she ar rived at the hospital. She also said that she had resided nine years in Arizona, but refused to state from what state or country she came here. Her conversations in- dicated that she was we'll acqaaint. ed in Williams, as she talked freely a nd truthfully of many prominent citizens of that town.
 Her remains were taken in charge hy the Ruffner undertaking estab- fish ment to be prepared for inter. ment.-Prescott Courier.
 Very little is known of her in Williams. Some have recollection of her occupying a crib on Front street for year or two until about two years ago About three years ago she appeared as a witness on Mexican murder case.from here.

besides there will be other expenses, which will run up to 5000 to$12OO. These expenses of course ought not to be considered if by paying them we could be reasonably sure that we could find out that Spencer had died as the result of criminal means. Dr. Rounseville told me that he had prescribed for Spencer during his late dissipation and that he had given him heart stimulants, and mentioned among other strychia and chloral. He also told me tha Spencer was taking a cough medi- cine that contained either strychnine and chloraform or some form of morphine; that these poisons were prescribed for the purpose of stimuli ating a weak and overworked heart and 1t follows as a natural result, of course, that an analysis of the stomach of the deceased would show poison, but it would not, unless the poison found were of a different kind, be any evidence whatever that Spencer had come to his death by criminal means.
 l talked to the boys at Ash Fork about the idea of holding a post mortem, and they expressed the opinion that it would be a useless loss of money and time This morn- ing 1 went before the Board of Supervisors in an informal way and laid before them all the facts that I was able to learn in Williams and Ash Fork and asked them if they were willing to authorize the payment of the bills that would be incurred in the event an autopsy was held, and while the Board were disposed to give ne considerable liberty in the matter they express ed very serious doubt as to the advisability of our taking the mat ter up in view of the circumstances. In fact they said that they believed I should not incur the expenses.
