WELL KNOWN OATMAN
 WOMAN FOUND DEAD
 IN HOME BY HUSBAND
lFrnm Medne,dar,s Daily Minerl


 Mrs. L. c. Mott was found dead in her home at Oatman Monday morning by her husband on his return from work at the United Eastern mine. The husband had arisen at 11:30 the night previous and gone on shift at the mine and on returning home the next morn ing about 8 o'clock found the house lockedN and no one could be seen through the screen windows.
 After trying to locate her he at last tore a portion of the screen from the door and pushed the iron bolt free, which secured it, and upon coming in side found his wife lying dead upon the floor alongside her bed. Justice of the Peace Sheffield was absent from that precinct and in consequence a call was given to the county attor- ney's office and shortly afterward Coroner Smith and Assistant County Attorney Mattoon left to investigate the case.
 A corOner's jury returned a verdict of death from unknown causes. The deceased had been a sufferer from rheumatism and it is not improbable that this disease had made such in roads that it caused a heart weakness that resulted in her death.
 She leaves a husband to mourn her loss and he leaves this afternoon with the remains for San Francisco, where the wish of the deceased that she be cremated will be fulfilled. She was an active, energetic worker and was well liked by all of her acquaintances, who deeply regret her demise.

PHUENIA, Arlz., July 5. = The A years of age, Macdonald refuted ing as many notices as it would like from owners of fruit which is likely to go to waste. All such notices so far have received prompt attention. There must be a great deal of fruit which will not be used and it is that which the Council of Defense wants to save, for everything that can be raised for food in this valley and the whole country will be needed. It would be better, of course, if the owners of the fruit could take care of it. All the Council of Defense wants is that is should be saved by somebody.

Some One Plays Good Joke On Kingn1Gn EyigibLes;; nO
 Instructions ReceiUed Here
(From Saturdays Daily Miner)

Consternation struck a number of male Kingmanites between the ages of q and 31 amidships today. It came in the guise of little slips of paper on which were written certain num- bers. These numbers happened to be the same as those on their registra- tion cards. These little slips of paper were circulated about town and cer- tain young men between the designat- ed ages were thrown into blue funk. For to them the handwriting on the wall was plain. They had been selected to fight for Uncle Sam, and must rush off to war, which very thing they had been praying to all the saints to let "the cup pass"
 All the while certain other young men were holding their sides to keep them from caving in with laughter. These numbered" men were rushing about town with long faces and an inquisitive mein. In some unknown manner practical jokesters obtained the numbers of some of their friends and placed them on slips of paper which ostensibly showed that they had been selected for the army.
 To make matters worse, and as par tial substantiation, an outside news paper carried, in an edition published sometime yesterday and arriving to- day, what purported to be a dispatch

For this same news organization has been barred from London, Paris and Canadian news centers. Correspond ents for this news organization have been absolutely banned by war and navy department officials, so all the basis there was to their reports was a rumor or unconfrmed report.
 In yesterday afternoons issue of the Daily Miner was a dispatch from Washington, given out officially by the war department, saying that there was no truth in reports circulated throughout the country that actual drafting had begun. It stated further that draft selections would not begin for several days.

Believing that the major cost of
the present war should not be shift
ted to future generations, President
Gompers, has written Congressman
Keating. a member of the labor
group, as follows.
1t is respectfully submitted that
there are other available means TO
supply the financial needs Of the
government to carry en- and meet
the expenses Of the present war
other than is proposed in the S., !
900, 600, 000 BOND issue and that
the distinct future should not be
mortgaged while other available
means are at the command of our
government
THE following suggestions are
respectfully submitted
The postal savings bank system
should be at once made the avenue
for the deposit by the people Of the
United states of immense sums Of
money.
The limitation OF the deposits
to $1,000 per person should be sus
pended for specified period or if
necessary for the duration Of the
war.
The rate Of interest on postal
saving bank deposits should be in
creased from ? per cent to J per
cent per annum
The income tax should be sub
stantially increased and graduated.
The inheritance tax should he
materially increased and these two
latter suggestions should be made
to bear the large proportion of the
financial needs of the government
A tax on land values should be
laid rot only as a war emergency
measure, but also for a permanent
means of raising revenue.
