 MURDER OF ROSE

 Coroner's Jury.

her preliminary examination will take place later.
 Public opinion at Ash Fork was pronounced after the shooting oc- cured, and the law abiding citizens demanded that the wanton killing of people, under the guise of sui eide and by accidental means must cease, and the opinion was freely expressed that the severest penalty must be inflicted.
 This is the second crime that has occurred in that town within the past six months where a man has been shot and killed while in a room with woman, both receiving wounds in the head that could hardly be self-inflicted by suicide or through accidental avenues, as has been alleged in both cases.
 Judge McLane of this city, held the inquest and the following is the report made to him by the jury:
 That the cause of the death of John Rose was from a pistol wound fired from a 38-calibre gun. The bullet from said pistol entered the right-hand side of the head above and back of the ear, passing obIique- ly through the head, with the exit in the left temple. Said pistol was fired by one Ruby Smith, with in- tent to kill said Rose"

Is your name Weber? If it is you
may be worth millions. Henry Loci
fer, young Australian lawyer, is
searching the four corners of the
earth for Webbers who are heirs to
a $2O,0OO,0O estate in Holland.
Here's the story:
Over 200 years ago Weber, 1.-The
Merchant Prince of Holland" disin-
herited his daughter because she
married below her station. The for
tune then amounted to $20,000,000,
and was left with a proviso that it be
not divided among the heirs until the
sixth generation. This was in 1915.
In the United States 400 heirs have
been located, but it is necessary to
establish LOO heirships before the
property can be divided.
Loefler recently sailed from San
Francisco for Java, where he will
search for more heirs amongst the
descendants of the first Holland set
tiers.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN CAMEL
DRINKS SALT WATER

The llama, called the camel of
South America, has been used as a
beast of burden from prehistoric
times. The familiar and fine cloth
which we call alpaca and vicuna are
woven from the hair of a species of
the llama
The llama has the very unpleasant
habit of splitting when enraged or
annoyed; that is about its only means
of defense; its cud and saliva have a
most unpleasant odor, and thus when
one approaches a llama in a Zoo he
should have a care Llamas are fine
swimmers, and drink freely of sea
water without injury.
Naturalists assert that when face
to face with death the llama will
leave its companions and pick out a
particular spot for dying ground"
