Man in Dying Condition;
Letter Tells of
Grief

William White. of Jiggeryille
whose wife died at Dallas. Texas,
several weeks ago while visiting her
mother, attempted to kill himself
Friday afternoon at three O'Clock at
his home in the suburbs by taking
chloroform. His condition was dis
covered by a neighbor about an hour
and a half later, and physician was
called. White was sent to the Copper
Queen hospital. and later it was stated
that he would recover.
A bottle which had contained chic
reform was found on the bed where
White lay. and a handkerchief satu-
rated with the poison was over his
face. He had drunk a swallow OF
the chloroform and then held the
saturated handkerchief 10 his mouth.
Sufficient poison remained in the
bottle to produce death, but the man
was put to sleep by the dose that he
took so that It was the limited ef-
feet of the poison that prevented the
suicide. II was reported that pistol
was found under pillow on the bed.
White left letter addressed to a
neighbor bidding farewell to his
friends. Grief over the death OF his
wife is said TO have resulted in a mt
of dependency. during which he at
tempted to take his life.

ECONOMY IS
WATCH WORD
OF SUPERVISORS
Cochise County Officers
Strive to Check Waste;
Needless AutOpsies
Discontinued

In the interest OF economy and to
avoid waste OF public funds, the board
of supervisors has issued orders that
are being carried out by other coun-
" officials. and aatopsies are being
held only where there is warrant for
belief that death was occasioned by
violence. and a crime has been com
mitted
In the past il had been the custom,
where a death occurred and no ply
stefan had been in attendance. to hold
an autopsy to discover the exact
cause OF the death. even when il
was manifest that such death oc-
CURED from natural causes In the
same way, where a men met his death
from an accident in the mines, an au-
topsy was performed. even when IL
was manifest that the deceased died
from injuries received in such acct
dent. as IN the case of a cayein, fall
ing rock or fall Thus, the examining
physician would explain to the jury
the exact injury or the illness or dis
ease which occasionCd a death.
In ordinary cases these examina-
tions are said 10 have produced DO
results of real benefit to the people.

are from natural causes, unless there
be suspicious circumstances. l. is
maintained, and In case of accident,
testimony relative to surrounding
facts and circumstances will generally
answer the purposes. Where, however,
the district attorney or his assistant
believes that there is need of an au-
topsy. he may order il performed.
Coronsrs notify the district attorney
or his assistant, and arc goverend by
his advice on the subject.
The board of supervisors are striv-
ing to put into effect numerous econo-
mics. and TO check waste in various
manners. They state that the need
less autopsies of the past have each
year cost the county hundreds to
thousands of dollars. Another matter
they have considered has been the
distribution OF charity by justices.
II Is claimed that especially since
the disturbed Mexican conditions
there has been much money distribut-
ed that went to people Who were in
no way entitled to aid from the coup
". recently arrived immigrants and
refugees. In some instances the
board of supervisors held up bills
far as may lie within their power.

Matters of road disbursements are
also watched carefully, and in other
ways it is sought to put economies
into operation. The cost of statehood
has raised taxes. and it is the policy
of the board TO do all in their power
TO keep expenses within bounds, go
as to prevent increases in taxes, so
far as may lies within their power.
