WHILE WALKING IN HILLS NEAR THUMB BUTTE DISCOVER BODY OF UNI KNOWN SUICIDE.
(From Tuesdays DaiIy.)

While walking over the hills to Thumb Butte Sunday afternoon. Mir. and Mrs. w. Grant Deyarmin, mar ried by Judge F. O. Smith last week, discovered the skeleton Of an un- known man. A coroner's jury yes terday declared he met his death by suicide.
 Although a thorough search was made by the authorities yesterday the identity of fine suicide could not be learned. All the dead man left for the benefit of his finders was the fol lowing note written on the first page of an otherwise empty notebook: Don't find, no folks, no friends, broke. down and out
 The flesn of the body was decayed and nothing remained but the skele- ton within the clothes. On top of the body was found the notebook and a Stetson hat which was bought at the B.-B. Alongside the skull was found a Los Angeles Examiner dated Feb ruary B. 1915, fixing the date of the death within the last II months On the hat band was found the following. presumably the name of the suicide; "B. Matt"
 A 3S-calibre Harrington Richards -a1- f.-. .~. the fingers of the suicides right hand Two cartridges had been fired and the other three chambers contained load ed smells.
 Mir. and Mrs. Deyarmin had started from Prescott along the railroad tracks for Thumb Butte and as they neared the spot they cut across the hills to get to it. As they reached the top of a rocky ridge they stopped .o view the scenery and as Deyarmin looked down through a small space between two rocks he saw the feet of the dead man. He called his wife's attention and when they investigated they found the body. Yesterday morning he informed Justice of the Peace McLane of his find and cor oner's inquest was held.
 The body was hid away in what might be called a small aperature eight by three feet in the rocks, with an entrance just big enough for a man to get through. The suicide lay lengthwise in the small rock-walled inclosure. Through the skull a hole was found, small at the right side showing where the bullet had enter ed. and shattered and large on the left side telling where the lead had left the skull. The small pellet of lead was found imbedded in the rock to the left of the body. The ridge on which the body was found is just be- lew Thumb Butte and about four Or five miles from Prescott.
 The age of the suicide is estimated at 5 years. Among his effects were found a shotgun shell match case. l purse containing 45 cents and an old gold watch. He wore pair of over alls, a shirt, two suits of under clotn- ing and big mackiIaw.
