MYSTERY SURROUNDS SUICIDE OF BISBEE
 MAN IN DOUGLAS
"C. P. Jones" Found Dead in Smelter City After Drinking Carbolic AcidHWorked in Warren District Mines.

Who was the man who has been working in Bisbee under the name of i"C. P Jones" and who was the mys- [ terious wife. a resident of Douglas
 who signed herself 'Irene?" These were questions which pre-. scented themselves at the inquest held Monday afternoon at o'clock in the Ferguson undertaking parlors in Doug las to inquire into the cause of Jones' death. A verdict of death due to drinking carbolic acid. presumably with suicidal intent" was returned by the jury.
 The mans body was found in a va cant lot in the rear of the Dougherty residence on Fifth street between A and Bonita avenues, Sunday afternoon about 4:15 o'clock by boys. He had been noticed several times previously during the day by people residing in the neighborhood, walking about ap- parently in an aimless manner. Two soldiers passed the man as he lay on the ground behind a pile of tin bers and saw him writhing in agony, but supposed he was drunk and did not go near him. At the time the small boys found him he was alive but lied soon afterwards.
 By the side of the body vas 'ound T bottle marked "carbolic acid" In m inside coat pocket was half filled bottle of whiskey. There were g nun Der of letters all in the same hand writing. addressed to "C. p. Jones, 9isbee. Arizona"
 The letters furnished the basis for 1elief that the man had ended his life Respondent. They were from wom- m signing herself Your loving wife. rene"
 They spoke of his having secured employment in Bisbee and apparently covered the shadow of some offense for which the man was wanted" somewhere. as she spoke in them of 1recautions he must take as someone night be on the lookout for yol."
 The tone of the first few letters was
 hat of loyal wife. trying to encour- age her partner in life to take new
 tart. The last one. dated November A, was different The husband had evidently said something to highly tisplease his wife. She wrote that 'he would never live with r:r, again md for him not to try to see her. You go your way and IIl go mine"
 The theory of the officers was that 'ones went to Douglas to see his wife md Ter attitude caused him to drink the poison.

An Old Mans Stomach.

As we grow older and less active less and less food is required to meet the demands of our bodies. If too much is habitually taken, the stomach will rebel. When a man reaches the ad- vanced age of S5 or 90, you will find that he is light eater. Be as careful as you will. however. you will occa- sionally eat more than you should and will feel the need of Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the disorder. These tablets do not contain pepsin, but strengthen the stomach and enables it to perform it's functions naturally. They also cause a gentle movement of the bowels. Advertisement
