TRAGEDY INDICATED BY
 VAGUE CLUE
NAME FOUND ON ENVEL- OPE BEING NEAR DEAD BODY OF MAN, MAY AID IN RUNNING DOWN THE GUILTY ONE.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Thomas Wentworth, a mechanical engineer, who returned yesterday af- ternoon from Manvel, on the Santa Fe, brings information of what IS supposed to have been a tragedy of the desert, by the finding of the body of an unidentified man, presumably a miner, which may prove of local in torest Near the corpse was found an envelope, with the following writ ten thereon, which was hardly discern able: Pete Simpson, Cor Sampson) Prescott, Arizona, care general de- livery"
 The corner of this address was torn off, indicating that letter had been placed therein. The impression prevails, said Mr. Wentworth, that tEcrc was foul play and for the req son that the body had been buried at shallow depth and was in nude state. What became of the clothing or personal effects remained a mys- tery, although the country around for about 200 feet was carefully looked ever. Many miners had been passing through in recent months to a copper gold camp north of that station, and generally travelled in pairs. It was surmised also that the man found had been dead about six months, and the discovery was made when buzzards were seen to be lowering overhead The dead man was evidently dark complexioned, his hair being a jet black.
 The rain had oblitcrated all tracks leading from the burial place, and the affair was generally clothed in mys- tery, occasioning but little comment and only a cursory official investiga- ton. Mir. Wentworth gives publicity to this matter for the reason that he comes to Prescott to pursue his voca- ton, and the information may lead to some one taking an interest to trace what is probably cold-blooded crime

WOOD ALCOHOL IS
 BECOMING A MENACE

JEROME, Jan. 29-Jerome drug gists are becoming concerned over the growing demand for wood alcohol and are predicting that ere long some of the persistent imbibers of that sub tic decoction will go blind.
 "We druggists are confronted by a peculiar problem" remarked K. V. Reid of the Jerome Drug Company. "We cannot stop the sale of wood alcohol, for many people use it legi- timately as fuel. But there is no doubt in our minds that many of our customers drink it, in spite of the fact that they know it is poison.
 "Whenever anyone comes in and bears the appearance of being wood alcohol user, we simply take it upon ourselves to refuse him. Doubtless we sometimes refuse people who have no notion of drinking it, but we pre- fer to err on the safe side.
 "Of late, however, we have found out that the drinkers often persuade perfectly respectable people to buy their wood alcohol for them. Many times when a person beyond suspic- ion is asked whether he intends to use the alcohol himself he confesses that he is simply getting it to ac- commodate someone else.
 "Vcry few people realize the dan' ger that lies in wood alcohol. lf one drinks very much of it he is almost sure to lose his eyesight. Most of the blind Mcxicans you see became blind from drinking wood alcohol .'

Wiley Jones is worried over the as- pirations of r. C. Stuckmeyer, who is ambitious to become attorney gen eral. Struckmeycr, who was Hunts attorney in the contest would have preferred to have the support of Hunt in the primaries as his reward, but the governor insisted that Struck meyer accept appointment on the Commission of State Institutions and organize the board. The result has been a statewide protest and Struck meyer may be forced to resign to quiet public opinion. In the meantime Jones is not losing any sleep over Struckmeyer's plight.
 Candidates Galore.
 There are already four candidates for Corporation Commissioner from Cochise county. A. w. Ross, the in cumbent, John Ross, the present county attorney, John Newberry, representative in the second legisla- ture and Dave Johnson, the present treasurer, who cannot. succeed him self in that capacity. In addition, Dave Claridgc, former president ot the senate, is reported to be in the field. The north, which now has no representative on this commission or on the State Tax Commission, has a candidate in James Weatherford, who made a strong run three years ago and Sam Proctor, formerly a locomo- tive engineer, elected to the lcgisla- turc from Winslow and now sccre- tarv of the commission.
 Louis Charlcbois, of Flagstaff, ap- pointed to the Sheep Sanitary Board when John Hennessy was put on the Northern Arizona Normal Board, has already resigned. The Sheep Sanitary Board, met, organized, hired a sccre- tarv and adjourned. Charlebois re- ported the proceedings to Hunt, ad- viscd him that they were organized and doing business. Hunt told hm that he should have seen hlm before appointing a secretary and that the one they had was not the one he in tended to get the place. Charlebois returned to his office. fired the secrc- tarv. locked the door and resigned. He claims the worlds record for ap- pointmcnt, organizing, disoTganizlng and resigning.

OSBORN SEEKS THE SUPPORT
 0F HUNT
SECRETARY OF STAT E GREATLY PEEVED BE- CAUSE FRED GOLFER SAID TO HAVE ADMIN ISTRATION'S BACKING.

PHOENIX, Jan. 30.-Sid Osborn, Secretary of State and candidate for governor, is greatly peeved over re- ports that Fred Colter is the choice of Hunt Osborn thinks he is the favored one and he Is playing for the same class of support. Osborn is letting 1t be known among the Hunt appointees that he too, if successful in the primaries, will keep them in their old jobs provided that they play the game. The rivalry between Colter and Osborn for Hunts favor is pitt full and although Osborn claims the preference because he withheld Camp bells certificate of election, Colter seems to have the governors confi- dence and his sack looks fine to the Hunt appointccs, who were drained to the limit by the contest and do not relish having to put up big cam paign fund next fall.
 Osborn's Clever Manager.
 Osborn has ono advantage and one disadvantage. Ned Creighton is both the one and the other In some ways he will help Osborn and in others he will hurt him. Creighton is an astutc politician. He claims to be a Repub- lican, he Is an outpost for the cor porations, but he is crony of Os- born's and he stands by his friends. In politics his word is good and he has promised to stay with Osborn. He is the secrctary's principal adviser and he is no slouch at the game. The Golfer forces will have to sit up nights if they want to out-think Os- born's manager Creighton already has the Golfer forces worried and even Hunt does not know just what to make of the situation.
 Moeur is Independent.
 w. Nj. Moeur, State Land Com- missioner, is really out of the rum ming. There is report that Sid Os- born and Dave Johnson called on Moeur the other day and asked him to resign on account of the fist fight in his office. It Is said that Moeur invited the gentlemen to hunt a warmer place and they beat a nasty retreat.
