NAME OF POISON DRINK
 FER WAS GUS HOGBERG
(From Saturdays Daily)

Further developments in the sher- ifs office search to ascertain the iden- tity of the man who committed sui eide via the carbolic acid route out near Idylwild, have established the fact that his correct name Is Gus Hogbcrg and that he formerly lived in Etrauson, Sweden.
 It was also learned in the search yesterday that Hogberg was a black smith at Miami not long ago and that he has two daughters and son in Sweden. Other points established are that Hogbcrg arrived in Prescott on the afternoon train from the south on the 17th of May in company of a man named J. H. Carlisle. Both took the bus to the Scopel hotel and stay cd there for two nights. Nothing has been seen of either around the Sco- pei since the afternoon of May 19, when Hogberg appeared at the clerks desk and left a baggage check for Carlisle. On the register the men signed as J. H. Carlisle, Tempe, and the suicide as Carl Hogberg.
 Hogberg on leaving the baggage check told the clerk to give it to Carlisle so that the latter could get his baggage at the depot Carlisle has never showed up for the check and it was turned over to the sher- iff's office, which will try and get the baggage at the depot and in that way learn something in regard to the two men.
 The sheriffs office is at present en- deavoring to find Carlisle and if To- catcd, he will probably be able to tell something in regard to the identity of his roommate.
 The fact that the suicides name is, Gus Hogberg was discovered through May Clark, one of the inmates in the "redlight district" to whom Hogberg paid d visit. She said, after giving a complete description of the man. that he was at her crib about week ago and that she had known him when he was in this city year previous. He said that he was going to commit suicide and gave her pictures of his three children. all of whom are grown, one son being married. He also said that one of his daughters had written him for money and that he was broke and did not have cent and was tired of life The pictures which he left with Miss Clark are now in the sheriff's office. Names are written on the back of them in Swed- ish They give no hint as to the probable residence of Hogberg's family.

CARL HAGBERG
 IS SUICIDES NAME
(From Snnhav,s DaI1vl


 Through reading a story in the Journal-Miner at Humboldt ycster- day J. H. Carlisle, who roomcd with the man who committed suicide near Idylwild, got into communication with the sheriff's office and helped to clear up the mystery surrounding the suicides identity.
 In conversation with Carlisle over the telephone last evening Sheriff Young learned that the suicides cor rect name was Carl Hagberg and that before coming here and ending his life with carbolic acid he had worked with Carlisle for the U. s. Rcclama- ton service near Phoenix for three months. Carlisle, however, did not know the mans home address, but did know that he had formerly work ed with man by the name of Charles Colson at Miami who probably knows Hagberg's entire past history. The sheriff's office will get into com munication with Colson in an effort to learn where the mans family re- sides and notify them of his death. They will also communicate with Foreman Mongcr, of the reclamation service, and in that way they may discover where Hagberg's home may be located.
 Carlisle Is employed at the Con solidated Arizona Smelling Com pany's plant where he has been since he left Hagberg on the 10th of this month.

YAVAPAI ROADS
 PRAISED BY VISITOR
(From Saturdays DailY.)

"The two best pieces of mountain roadways in the three states of Cali fornia, Nevada and New Mexico, are the ones between Prescott and Wick enburg, and between Prescott and Verde valley" said Joseph Darling, western representative of the Fox Film Corporation, of New York city. who is visiting the city in a profes- siona1 capacity from San Francisco.
 This motion picture authority trav- els the country in his auto, and ac- cordingly is competent to judge. He also stated yesterday that Yavapai county is to be lauded in this public improvement, and some means should be adopted to give the outside world an insight into absolute conditions prevailing to attract tourist travel. So far as he is individually to be consid- cred, MT. Darling says he will show his appreciation of actual road condi- tions leading into and out of Prescott by throwing a series of views on the screen in a short time in New York city. For this purpose he has taken many photos, which later will be grouped to reflect the western spirit in advancing ahead of older and wcalthier states.

HOMESTEAD MINE
 STRIKES HIGH GRADE ORE
 (FrOm Sundays Daily.)

w. L. Conner, in charge of the hold
 ngs of the Pine Mountain Mining Co.,, at Walker, reported yesterday
 hat remarkable results had been ac- complished in reviving the Home stead mine in cleaning out the old workings, and a two-foot body of gold ore running high in value was attracting general comment in that district
 The property was acquired by this company in a deal closed a short time ago. and the old workings were investigated for the reason that near ly SO years ago the free ores were treated in an arastra and gave ex- ceptional returns.
 Reaching depth, the character changed to a sulphide and as was customary in that era, work was sus- pended owing to lack of methods to recover the values. The present ef- fort of the company is the first to be extended this location in practical eX- ploration since that time and surprise is expressed over the determinations made. Mir. Conner states that the old mill is rebuilt and will start up in a short time. and development will go ahead on the Homestead and other claims of the group.
 Col. w. C. Tonkin, manager, IS ex- pectcd to arrive soon from the coast

IN FULL BLAST IS HUGE U. V. SHELTER
(From Saturdays Daify)

In accordance with telegraphic in Structions received from Senator w. A. Clark at New York on Wednes- day, the huge shelter of the United Verde Copper Company at Clarkdale was formally blown in during that day, but without any ceremonies whatever.
 This plant with capacity of treat ing 5000 tons of ore per day, is now practically operating in all depart ments. The old shelter at the mine is to be razed to the ground immedi- ately and has gone out of commits sion. Senator Clark also wired that he and son, C. w. Clark would ar rive at Jerome. on next Monday, and were to remain indefinitely, from which it is inferred his visit will ex- tend to weeks, instead of days, as heretofore. With the Clarkdale works in full blast, change in train service on the U. V. & P. railroad also be- comes effective at once. But one train a day will be run in the future, instead of three as heretofore.
 Prescottites Present.
 R. N. Fredericks, president of the Prescott National Bank, and Fred C. Brccht, a director, were at Clarkdale, when the button was pressed that set in motion this gigantic mechanical equipment, and both stated the occa' sion was not only interesting but in structive in mans ingenuity being so capably and practically illustrated as the massive machinery moved without a quiver and the perfection of modern reduction was so thrillingly foretold.
 Messrs. Fredericks and Brecht stat ed that at exactly 10 o'clock the first charge of 112 tons of ore was thrown into the furnace, and at ? o'clock the first matte was poured into the con verter, while the first ingot of copper bullion was turned out at 12 o'clock that night. The fine system of auto matic handling of ores and treatment in each department, appealed favor ably and yet forcibly to them, and re- flected one of the finest engineering achievements modern reduction can point to. During their visit an ore train from the United Verde pulled into the works, and in a few minutes from the 20 cars about 800 tons. The system of management at the shelter is so capably and sl,illfully reflected in the many departments as to attract admiration, and for which Will L. Clark, assistant general man ager, was the recipient of well de served commendation. With him is Thomas Taylor, noted shelter au- thority, who has been with the United Verde as its superintendent in that for very many years.

ALL CLUES AS TO
 IDENTITY OF SUICIDE FAIL
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

VI AOAL AAHoJ AAJI
 Although every clue that might lead to the identity of the man who committed suicide near Idylwild the first part of this week has been tail cd down by the sheriff's office, noth- ing that would definitely establish where he had come from or who he was could be discovered yesterday.
 The tan shoes which the suicide, Con Wagberg wore, had been given 10 him about two weeks ago by Mrs. \. Levy, president of the local asso- ciated charities. At that time he had applied for work and was sent to the home of Mrs. M. Goldwater where he worked for about a week and was paid well fo- q number of small jobs. While talking to Mrs Levy he said that he had just come up from Mex ico and was a miner, but that he was broke and wanted work. He also told her that he was willing to work and would not resort to begging if he could possibly help it. He finished his labors at the Goldwaters about the middle of last week While there he was known as George and not as Con Wagberg. the name he signed in his time book and on the drug store register when he purchased the car bolic acid. He is judged to have been of a good family by Mrs. Levy and about 26 or 2s years old.
 The shcriff's office is communicat- ing with the Hearnc Mercantile Com pany in regard to the black slouch hat which was found beside the body and it may be possible that his form CT life may be got in touch with in that way. The establishment where he purchased the hat is in Hearne, Texas.
 The verdict of the coroner's jury at the inquest held by Justice Me Lane yesterday was death by suicide and gave the name of the dead man as supposedly being Con Wagberg.

STEADY ADVANCE
 IN PRICE OF CATTLE

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, May 24.-The steady advance in cat tie prices continues here, regardless of outside influences. Fifteen cents to a quarter was added last week, in cluding heavy steers, and prices are strong today.
 Chicago reports heavy run today, and prices weak to 10 lower, and that market continues to furnish surprises to the trade in the matter of heavy cattle receipts, it having been figured heretofore that Chicago territory was bare of cattle, but the supply at Chicago recently indicates that Illin- ois, Iowa and Indiana have plenty of fat cattle. All cattle arriving at Chi cago have to sell to killers, and re- cent advices say there is no immedi- ate prospects of any change in this respect.
 Killers pay more attention to qual- ity in heavy steers now, and some long fed cattle, bought on the break in February, are paying out at pres ent prices Some of Mir. Tod's year lings brought $S.S5 here today.

Several shipments of Arkansas Val ley pulp and alfalfa steers sold at $8.30 to $500, weighing from 1,150 to ,475 pounds average, and drove of Panhandle spayed heifers brought $S. Some Oklahoma yearling heifers brought $S.30 in the quarantine divis- ion, and quarantine steers are quot able at SIPS to $8.5O. Stockers and feeders are firm, some black feeders at $S.35 today, 1000 pounds average, and stock steers at SIPS to $825.
 Hogs sold higher late last week, but the market is to 10 lower today, due to liberal receipts at some of the markets. Run here is 10000 head, normal for Monday, top price $7.5O, bulk of sales $40 to $7.45. As was the case last week, order buyers and packers were equally anxious for hogs, and all the hogs sold within narrow range. Prices will fuctuate with variable supply for month, ac- cording to predictions, afte- which an advance will be in order.
 Sheep and lambs are steady today, except that native ewes and mutton sheep generally are 10 to 25 lower, re- ceipts 11,OOO head. Arizona spring lambs sold at $1115, Arizona shorn ycarlings $8.25, native springs $l1, the latter lacking prime quality, clipped lambs So to $9.25, fat goats $5.15, Angora brusher goats $5.20 to $5.40, slick haired brushers $460.

CLEARING AWAY
 MYSTERY OF SUICIDE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(From Saturdays Daily)
 Cyril L. Carpenter, of Bakersfield, Cal, who arrived in Prescott yester- day, has cleared away all mystery surrounding the suicide on Thursday afternoon of c. P. Overall, and the old story of loving too well' is at tributed as the reason for the man taking his life with his own hands.
 Mr. Carpenter is buyer of live stock, and travelled on the same train with Overall as far as Wickenburg, from which place he went into the Constellation country to look at goats. He stated that Overall was quite free in conversing, dwelling on the topic of the ways of women, but not particularizing to any extent by mentioning names. He did say, how ever, that he had been married two times, only to be disappointed in each instance, but was willing to take the third chance Overall also referred 70 woman in Bakersfield, who would fill the bill," but her name was not mentioned.
 Why He Came to Prescott.
 Mir. Carpenter states that Overall in coming 10 Prescott desired to visit with relatives and for change of climate for his health, complaining of kidney troubles, which he attributed to impure water at oil camps near Bakersfield. He was to remain for a few months, and then return. Both were to meet in this city later and rips to the country were talked over.
 'The Root of All Evil"
 On the body of Overall was found n bank book issued by the First Ma 'ional Bank of Bakersfield, that show d balance due him of over $l,200; he last deposit made on May IA be- ing $500. The tell-tale story of the mans affections appear in his own handwriting in this book iii which he states that he had but $130 left of that sum. This was on May "A, or the lay before he started for this city. It is presumed he drew a check and received the money about $1OO0, which was sent to Kentucky to a woman, whose name appears on the registry receipts found among his ef- ects after he shielded. This fnan- cial situation, in short, reveals his lrdor for the woman of his choice, md from what Mr. Carpenter says, t is quite reasonable that Overall at .emuted to win her affections by 5howing his liberality with an open heart in giving. Nothing has been learned since his death of relatives 1ere or elsewhere, but telegram re- ceived yesterday by Lester Ruffner rom a woman in Kentucky requested burial to take place in this city. Her name was ascertained from the reg stry receipt found on OveralPs body liter his suicide.
