INFoRMER McMANIGAL
 ABANDONED BY UNCLE

LOS ANGELES, Cal. July 20.- Ortie E. McManigal, alleged confess ed dynamiter and informer against the McNamara brothers, has been abandoned by his relatives because he repeats all their conversation with him to detectives for the prosecution, according to the statement of his uncle, George Bethm. Bethm said he believed that his nephew is "either dOped or crazy.' He declared his intention of not visiting him in the jail because |" he tells all that is said to the detectives"
 Bethm's stand on the question of visiting his nephew has also been taken by Mrs. MeManigal, who has not called on her husband in several weeks. It is probable, though not positive, that she and the children will remain away from him.
 Bethm told today the pleasure his nephew had in seeing him. He de- clared MeManigal recognized him through the bars of his cell on the top floor of the jail and called out a salute. He then wrote an order to the jailor for Bethm s admittanee to the cell.
 "When went up to see him." said Bethm "I did not make any reference myself to his alleged con fession. He brought the subject up but said little about it. He seemed to fear for the safety of his life after the trial. He did not appear 10 realize his position, however, as he said he feared he might shoot Some uniop mon ar dataetivas Ha seemed dOped or crazy to me, either one of those things, or he has been bought by the other side''

PEACEFUL DEATH
 OF POPULAR MEXICAN
(FrOm Wednesdays Daily.)

Francisco Murillo, a Mexican wood hauler, met with a frightful death Monday afternoon near the Jersey Lily road, about four miles south of the city, when he was thrown from his loaded wagon and instantly killed, his head and chest being crushed by a heavy pine log that fell from the wagon when the accident occurred. There were no eyewitnesses to the sad affair, but an investigation made by Judge McLane and a coroner's jury, clearly established the causes that led to the mans unfortunate death. Murillo was found with the log lying on his body, and from his appearance must have been instantly killed. The road was examined, and large boulder was seen, which evi- dently had been hit by the front wheel with such force as to throw him from his seat, the impact jarring the load and throwing the heavy piece of pine on top of his body.
 MT. Murillo made daily trips to the hills to secure wood for patrons, and not arriving home Monday even ing. an investigation was made yes terday by friends. who were con versant with his habits, when his body was found as above, with his faithful team standing there, having never moved out after the accident took place.
 The death of this man IS a sad one. He had been a resident of this city for several years, and was indus triOus and upright in his dealings with all, enjoying a splendid reputa- tiOn. His wife passed away a few years ago, leaving two young daugh- ters who were solely dependent upon the labor of their father for support. The body was brought to the city in the evening and will be laid away to- day by Lester Ruffner. The news of the sad death has caused a gloom among all Mexican residents of the city and aroused expressions of sor- row from all.

LOVE CoNQUERs
 ENGLISH WAR LORD
Sse

LONDON, Eng, July is.-A1ilitary and society circles heard today that Lord Kitchener, long regarded as a woman hater, is to take a wife.
 The announcement was made through the Indian Daily Telegraph of Lucknow, copies of which arrived in London.
 The paper said the field marshal was engaged to Leona Matilda, young est daughter of Lional Douglas Hear sey of the Kheri-Oudh, India, who is several years the junior of her re- ported fianee.
 That the stern "war laird" who quelled the fanatieal dervishes in Egypt, conquered the gallant Boers in South Africa, and made British arms respected as never before in India, has been known as a woman hater is due more to designing nam mas than to any inherent antipathy Lord Kitchener ever showed toward woman herself.
 After his military valor and tactics made him the hero of Khartoum. and he came to England, he was ap- amounted almost to manworship. Nldng mOIueTS among the uODlllIy planned to capture him for their daughters. One countess postponed the debut of her daughter for no other reason than that Gen. Kitchener might be invited and might see the young woman in the first blush of her entrance to society.
 When Edward VII was king. Queen Alexandria was said to participate in the matchmaking plans arranged to catch Kitchener. She selected her favorite lady in waiting for the war hero's wife, but Gen. Kitchener was too busy with his public duties to do any eourting.
 Nevertheless, at one time or an other he was reported engaged to numerous beauties. The effect of the circulation of such stories was the opposite of that designed. Gen. Kitchener, instead of being attracted to the young women concerned, de- liberately avoided them; and it was for this reason, as much as for any other, that he was characterized as woman hater.

(From Thursdays Daily)

Hugo Richards, one of the best known pioneer residents of Arizona, passed away yesterday morning at nine o'clock at his home in this city from a stroke of apOplexy, without any warning and while apparently in the best of health. The news of his death caused a shock to the com munity, and many expressions of sor- TOW and regret were heard over the sudden death of this popular and we'll known Arizonan. As was his GUS tom, MT. Richards was at the Bank of Arizona all day Thursday, direct ing its affairs as president, and aside from informing several friends that he had been slightly indisposed the day previous, was enjoying his ae- customed good health. In the even ing he returned to his home on Mount Vernon street, and fingered for a few minutes at the Yavapai Club to converse with friends. Reach ing home he retired early, and utter ed no complaint of being i'll, until about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, when he stated there had been a re- eurrence of his ailment, which was of short duration, however, after remedies had been applied. When breakfast was served to him and wife, MT. Richards appeared to be in the best of spirits, and did not com plain of his condition. Retiring to the sitting room a few minutes be- fore o'clock, they engaged in con- versation and while in a pleasant mood, he informed his wife that he felt rather queer, when instantly his head fell to the back rest of the chair, and he expired in less than five minutes. He never uttered an audible sound, gasping a few times, only. Medical assistance was sum- moned immediately, but he was be- yond human aid.
 NIT. Richards frequently complained in recent months of experiencing symptoms of what was diagnosed as apOplexy, and to friends stated that he expected to pass away suddenly.
 The death of this prominent and leading citizen of Arizona removes another pioneer that figured con spieuously in the financial and in dustrial affairs of the territory for many years. He was an upright man and conscientious to the smallest transaction, in all a good citizen and a builder of the country.
 He was born in St. Louis about 73 years ago. Seized with the spirit of the day to go west, he went to Denver. Colo, in 1864, where he was the special agent of the Ben Holiday Stage and Express Company, plying between that city and Missouri river points. In this capacity he became eapably known, and after a few years, was rendered the position in San Francisco, of Wells Fargo and Company. which office he accepted, remaining on the coast for, several years. Tn 1872 he came to Prescott,

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 1S.- Acting Census Director Falkner issued today the first official statement from the Census Bureau relative to the statistics of irrigation in the territory of Arizona.
 It is based on a preliminary com parative summary submitted by Dr. LeGrand Powers. chief statistician of the division of agriculture in the Bureau of the Census, under whose supervision it was prepared by R. P. Teele, special agent in charge of irri- gatiOn. This summary shows for both 1909 and 1899 the number of farms irrigated the acreage irrigated, the acreage which existing enterprises are capable of supplying, the acreage included in existing projects, the num- Der of independant enterprises the length of main ditehes the total cost of irrigation systems, the average annual cost of maintenance and Oper- ation. It shows also, for the year 1909 length of lateral ditches, num- Der or reservoirs, capacity of reser- vOirs number of flowing wells num- Der of wells pumped for irrigation, number of pumping plants, engine capacity of pumping plants and acreage irrigated with pumped water. The acreage irrigated is classified by the type of enterprise supplying wat CT and by the source of water supply.
 The act of Congress of February 9, 1910, under which the census of irrigation is being taken provides for collecting full information concerning the location, character and cost of irrigation enterprises; whether such en- terprises are conducted under national, state, or private control; the acreage of land irrigated; the prices at which land with water rights can be ob- tained; and the quantity of water used for irrigation.
 It should be noted, these figures are subject to revision after more com plete tabulation, but it is not expect ed that there will be any material modification of the totals or percen tages reported. It is explained also that the census reports for 1899 do not show data concerning irrigation on Indian reservations in Arizona. For this reason comparisons between the 1909 and 1899 figures and cores bonding percentages of increase and decrease have been made with the elimination of the totals for Indian reservations from the figures for 1909.
 Acreage Equipment and Cost
 The total number of farms irrigated in 1909 was 4,50g Exclusive of In dian reservations the total was 3,s47 against 2,9s1 in 1899, an increase of S66. or 29.1 per cent.
 The total acreage irrigated in 1909 was 320,051 acres or excluding Indian reservations, 3OO,665, against 1S5,396 or 62.2 per cent. During the sam" period the improved land in farms outside of Indian reservations increas- ed but 424 per cent, showing that considerably larger part of the i'm proved area was irrigated in 1909.

REYES MAY BE
 OPPONENT OF MADERo

CITY OF MEXICO. July 20.- President De la Barra today received and accepted the resignations of sec retary of war Gen. Eugenio Raseon, and assistant secretary, Gen. Juan M. Duran.
 General Jose Gonzales Salas was appointed assistant to the secretary. The retiring officials left it to the president to make public the reason for their resignatiOns, but he with held the information. General Laurie Villar. in command of the federal troops in Chihuahua during the lat ter part of the revolution may be named to succeed General Raseon. General Raseon is said by some to have been too closely identified with the old regime.
 General Bernardo Reyes has prom ised to be minister of war under Madero in the event of his election to the presidency, and in view of the somewhat doubtful character of peace in the country few newspa- pers have advocated his immediate appointment.
 That Reyes will be an opponent of -hduciO dl lHC pAcSIucutldl elcCllOA in October is the belief of many of Madero's personal friends. Should Reyes lead the opposition, he must withdraw the sentiments expressed in his manifesto, June II, in which he urged his followers to support Madero for the presidency. Immediately after it's issuance, Madero announced that he had secured the consent of the general to accept the war port folio in the cabinet in the event that Madero was elected. Close friends of Gen. Reyes believe he would con tinue to support Madero.

BROTHER TO TWIRL
AGAINST BROTHER
White, of G. E.. and White, of
Tigers, to Work Monday.

Wet grounds made the Georgetown
PrinCetown game yesterday impossible.
The managers and captains of both
teams held a long conference early in
the afternoon and decided that 1t would
be useless to attempt the game. In a
way this makes a very interesting episode
possible. White, the Georgetown twirl-
er was slated to appear yesterday against
Rogers the Tiger pitcher. but on Mon
day Steve White, the Georgetown boys
elder brother. will do the mound work
for Princeton; consequently much interest
arises from the fact that two stellar slab
artists are pitted against each other.
When seen on Georgetown Field yes
terday after being told that they were
to oppose each other, Dave White said
He will have to beat me in the gym
nasium after the game if he trims me
on the field. to which Steve. the elder
brother replied. He'll have to eat an
other bag of flour to do it."
Both of the brothers are in excellent
condition and what the Georgetown man
has in size to his advantage. the Prince
tonian possesses in experience.
The Princeton boys are thoroughly en-
joying their layoff; most of them at
tended the game between the Nationals
and the Red Sox yesterday afternoon.
