SUICIDES TO AVOID

The identity OF the man found
dead on the Hassayampa on Mon

to the point and made an cxamina-
ton of the remains. which were
found to be those of Malcolm Math-

man committed suicide.
The body was found lying under
oak brush by Robert Mcador, who
is developing mines near by and
who happened to be coming up the
bank to reach the main travelled
road. The place selected by Math-
cson was the steepcst on the grade,
and was about 200 feet down the
bank on the right hand side Of the
road, above the Sundance mill and
a quarter OF a mile from the Sen
ator mine. An old 45-caliber six

Of death. An examination OF the
