REVEL BEFORE DEATH

| T have drunk two bottles and an now popping the third"
 The note. written on a piece of brown wrapping paper. lay on the ground beside the unidentified body of a man in cut in the hills about a mile back of the Calumet and Arizona hospital Within reach of the arm of the decomposed body lay two empty champagne bottles and another bottle from which some of the wine had been drunk. It was the last bottle that the man esp- ped" before he died. A quart of whisky. from which several fin gers" had been drunk. was also within reach.
 Cigarettes in Abunoanee | The ground around the body was literally covered with cigarette stubs. matches that he had struck and a 1 box of freshly opened cigarettes lay | within the skeletoned hand.
 f Several newspapers. in which the { bottles had been wrapped, of the date of April 6, lay on the ground near the body. All of the requisites of an Omar Khayyam paradise enow" were there. except that the man had died alone.
 The mans body has not yet been : identified
 Discovered by Woman I The body was discovered by a woman yesterday morning who had gone to the kills to tether out ! horse. She saw a booted foot pro trudinE from the cut She peered again and saw a mans hand , It was enough She ran home and com ing to Bisbee reported the grue- some find to officers. City Marshal Bassett Watkins. Deputy Sherih Win White. Officer Bailey of Lowell and others went to the cut and the ! body was brought to Bisbee and nov lies at the O K undertaking parlors awaiting the coroner's inquest this afternoon at o'clock before Acting ! Coroner Morris High
 Suicide Theory
 The theory entertained by officers Is that the man committed suicide. If 1t had not been for the note left by the man. bidding farewell to the world, the theory that the man died from excessive drinking woula be most probable. ! Two empty champaene bottles mad been thrown aside. have drunh two bottles the note read. An other. from which several drinks had been taken, lay close at hand. "l am now popping the third De tween drinks the man had evidently : smoked cigarettes, as three empty cigarette boxes were among the It. l ter of luxury that surrounded the body. At the popping of the third the thread of life had popped. ! Death touched the heart of the lone { banQueter and the silent revel ceased.
 How long it had beeu since the ! sonEless BaCchanoiisn feast was con cIuded by the uninvited guest is not known The nevsrapers which had erauDed the bottles. of. date ol l April 6. do not give the informationr' as the condition of the body. it Is said. is such that the Uen could not have been dead two months
 Is 1t Gus Johnson?
 Offcer Bailey oi Lowell believes the body to be that of Gus aohn- tson. a Lowell saloon man who dis appeared about two montts ago, and i he is conducting an investigation { on that theory ne Cndiu AicsAS and whisky would it in with that theory. On the other hand. under takers say that the man whose body was found could not have been dead lIonger than three weeks or month. They say that in this climate in TWO months time. under the hot s1n of the southwest, nothing would have remained of the body but | bleached bones
 The dead man vas a Finn This lis established by the fact that the note was written i7 the language of Finland. Johnson of Lowell was a Finn -.t
 The note is being translated oy lFinns and, will be interpreted at the lin0uest this afternoon, It is wra Iten in a strong. steady hand, whioh
 rpirht indicate that the man was not larunk but for the fact that the sense
 of the note Is illogical and eiseoh- Inected. No cuts or bullet hoies lwere found on the body and 1t IS IEeHeyed the man swallowed poison
