ARRIVE ID
 PROTECT BOUNDARY
THIRTY-THREE MEMBERS OF THE TWELFTH UNITED STATES INFANTRY NOW AT YUMA.

The company of soldiers Yuma has been looking for since last Sunday arrived this morning. Thirty-three men will remain here at a point op- posite the Imperial Heading, while the balance of the company will be sta- toned on the California side of the river. The company is a part of the Twelfth United States Infantry, and are expected to guard the boundary line.
 The general staff in Washington stated that this was the only troop movement ordered or contemplated.
 All official utterances are to the effect that there will be no interven- tion by the United States in Mexico, but the army is unquestionably being brought rapidly to war footing to be ready if it arises, and there will be feeling of greater security here with even small body of soldiers ready for instant action in case their services are needed.

SHRINERS BRIGHTEN
 JUAREz MEXICANS

Last Friday every Mexican in Juar- ez, rebel soldiers, loyal Maderists, and lay citizens were greatly excited when hordes of gringoes, wearing a new kind of uniform and armed with pecul- jar swords, were reported across the river in Fl Paso and about to invade Juarez.
 This news was brought across the bridges by Mexicans from Fl Paso and instantly there was intense excite ment, the MeXicans believing the ex- pected intervention of the United States government in the warfare be- tween Orozco and Madero had been launched, and Juarez was to be the first town seized by the gringo sol diers.
 Masons on the Mexican side of the river had arranged a bull fight to entertain" the shriners on their way to the imperial counsel at Los An geles. Today the Oklahoma City shriners apeared in Fl Paso streets uniformed and carrying scimiters. This patrol was mistaken for some kind of troops unknown on the bor der.
 Everywhere in Juarez there was sharpening of knives and ugly threats against the gringo money and land grabbers." Masons here and in Fl Paso hastily conferred and called off the threatened "invasion,' and by do- ing so undoubtedly prevented much bloodshed and the sacrifice of many lives.
 The Oklahoma invaders" were com pelled to proceed on their way west without seeing the bull fight.

 Jury Is ImpaneIIed
 When Coroner Johnstone arrived he quickly empaneled jury and the bod ies were viewed where they lay. Nal colm Gillette lay with his face upon the floor, and thin stream of blood had stained the carpet a deeper red. A few inches from his face was the cigar which he had just lighted when he fell. Sheriff Jeff Adams unbutton- ed the shirt after the body had been rolled over, ad small hole, right over the heart, was disclosed.
 A similar hole was found over Golf mans heart. He lay on his back, his mouth slightly open.
 From the inside pocket of Coffman's dark coat, several letters were taken. Requests EnbaIming of His Body There was also this note, unsealed:

 Letter Explains Motive
 The last doubt that Finley Coffman believed that Malcolm G. Gillette had swindled him, and so deliberately had planned the murder and suicide, was this afternoon when the let ter to Brown was delivered and open ed. The letter follows:

Phoenix, Ariz., May 7.-Laboring under the insane delusion that he had been swindled out of $500 in a real estate transaction, Finley Coffman shot Malcolm M Gillette, chief clerk to the surveyor general, through the heart, in Gillette's office at the Capi- tol about II o'clock this morning.
 Walking calmly through another of flee to the door leading into the TO- tunda he pointed his revolver at his own heart and in a moment was with his victim in eternity.
 Three shots were fired at Gil.ette, but only one took effect. The weapon used in the double. tragedy was .S2 calibre Savage automatic, holding ten cartridges.
 Five were still in the clip when the revolver was picked up.
 c. R. Craig and A. R. Cheever, the clerks employed in the office of the Surveyor General F. s. Ingalls,, were in the room when Gillette was killed. Neither saw Coffman, though they both heard the three shots and saw Gillette, who was standing near the door leading into the hall, pitch for ward upon his face. By the time that Malcolm Gillette struck the floor, he was dead.
 The shots were fired from q little hallway between the offices of Gil lette and General Ingalls,. tIeneral In gals was in another part Of the build ing at the time, and no one was iE his office.

Whitesides saw him fire a luliet into his own heart Whitesides was crossing the rotunda and he saw MT. Coffman sink to his knees, then fall upon his back. AS the revolver drop ped from his nerveless hand to the floor, it was discharged fifth the. Whitesides picked up the revolver and turned it over to Chief of Police A. J. Moore, who delivered it to Coroner c. w. Johnstone.
 Instantly the Capitol was in an dp- roar. Clerks and officials crowded the halls and Hobbies, while about the bod ies of Gillette and Coffman were dense throngs, anxious to see the dead men. General Ingalls, and other official took charge and gave orders that neither body be touched uptil the ar rival of the. coroner. White sheets were throw over the bodies, but that over Coffman's remains were lifted more than once, on the chance that someone could identify him. Though | many remembered having seen him, no one knew him. It was not until letters in his pocket had been examin- ed that his name became known.
