 JAUNT
COMMANDER OF BORDER TROOPS STOPS OFF HERE EN ROUTE TO PHOENIX AND YUMA

En route upon a trip of inspection along the posts of the border line. General H. L. Scott, together with his son, Lieutenant D. H. Scott. aide-de-camp, stopped off in this city yesterday afternoon. General Scott, when interviewed by a Jour nal-Miner reporter, declared that the trip bore no significance in con nection with the Mexican situation but was being made because of ex- tensive changes in the occupant regi- ments of the different posts.
 General Scott left his headquar- ters at Fort Bliss, Texas, on No vember ?, proceeding almost direct ly to Fort Apache From there the general and the lieutenant pro- cecded to the Grand Canyon where after brief stay, they hastened here expecting to find Captain Sturgis of Troop l., Fifth cavalry. When in- formed that the troop has left for Phoenix immediately after the ma neuvers, the general made plans to proceed to Phoenix where the troop was located during the fair last week. He left for Phoenix on the early morning train.

FAILURE CAUSES DEATH
 OF OLD TIMER
PETER OLSEN, SCHOOL JANITOR, FOUND DEAD IN BATH ROOM; CHILD REIN MOURN FRIEND

Heart failure caused the sudden death of Peter Olsen, sixty year; old, and one of the oldest pioneer: in this section of the State. Deatf came under most peculiar circum- stances and aroused deep excitement before the true cause of the sud den demise was pronounced by Cor oner Charles II. McLane and his jury.
 Shortly after s o'clock yesterday morning, Emmett Newton, janitor of the Washington school, passed the Lincoln school where Olsen was employed as janitor Prompted by a peculiar instinct, Newton de- cided to pause for a minute and have a chat with his fellow janitor To his surprise he found all the doors closed. Finally he managed to get through the basement and proceed upstairs to Olsen's quar- ters.
 The gruesome sight which encoun- tered his eyesight filled him with horror. There lay the body .oi Olsen across the chair, the head flushed with crimson and almost touching the floor with the trunk upon the chair and his feet also touching the floor upon the other side.
 Just how long Olsen had been dead could not be unearthed and there is some question a to whether the demise occurred Sum day night or early yesterday morn ing.
 From the investigation conducted it appears that Olsen decided to take a bath and after he had done so had donncd change in underwear Then he put on his socks and Was apparently in a position prepared 10 put on his shoes when the stroke overcame him. The body was found in this partly clad state. Olsen fell backward, causing the peculiar position in which the body was found. A stream of blood from the nose had flowed down and then clotted
 The news of the gruesome discov- cry caused furor of excitement throughout the ncighborhood. Teach. CTS who had known the gentle old man for many years shed tear, when they heard the news Tn, pupils became panic stricken and a: result there was no session al the lincoln school yesterday.
 The deceased is survived by nc known relatives either in this city or elsewhere The children of the Lincoln school are preparing a fiji ting floral tribute to their departed i friend.
