 Another victim of Mexican outlaw ". or perhaps 1t would be more near CT the truth to say of pro-German and I. W. w. propaganda, was yes terday added to the growing list when Horace Harrison, chief guard of the United Verde Mining Company, al Jerome, was shot and instantly killed by one of five MexicanS whom he had surprised in what is believed to have been an attempt to fire the big oil storage tanks of the copper com Dany
 That this abortive attempt, rssult- ing in murder, was not an isolated incident. but merely a thread in the web of a plot that had wholesale arson for its objective, is evidenced by correlated happenings occurring almost simultaneously with the killing of Harrison. and which resulted in the shooting Of Deputy United States Marshal Harry Carlson and City Marshal ]. c. Crowley, of Jerome, and the killing of Gabriel Accro, a Mexican labOrer.
 N. R. Corbett, a guard on night duty at the United Verde mine, while making his rounds about l2:30 o'clock Monday morning, suddenly came upon party of five Mexicans covert lv making their way toward the near by oil-storage tanks of the copper company. Upon being intercepted the Mexicans, at Corbett's command, withdrew. but were seen 10 be circl- ing as though to approach the tanks from another direction.
 Fearing trouble, Corbett telephon ed to Horace Harrison, chief guard for the company. who was alsecp at his home, apprising him of the situa- ton. Harrison immediately donned his clothes, and. armed only with 45-calibre revolver, started for the mine. As he approached the mine toward the oil tanks he came upon three Mcxicans, one of whom recog- nizing him in the moonlight, inn mcdiately opened fire, one bullet en- tering Harrison's left side and penc- trating the heart
 Murderers Rob Victim.
 As Harrison sank to the ground. the three Mexicans rushed forward and, finding him dead, callously ran sacked his pockets, taking his wallet, watch, gun and ammunition. They then were joined by their two com panions. and all five were seen to flee along the United Verde &, Pacific railway tracks, in the general direc- tion oi Jerome Junction.
 Al about the same time these events were transpiring in the north end of the town. three shots were fir ed in the Mexican district at the

He claims that he was in Clarkdalc at tho time the trouble occurred.

Believed Arson Plot.

Further search of the MexicaL quarter failed to reveal any wounded or dead, and the officers speedily be- came convinced that fhe first shots and the supposed carrying away of a wounded Mexican, had been de- liberately staged for the purpose ol drawing the officers into death trap, or at least away from the north end and center of the town, in order, i, is believed. to launch their arson plot with the firing of the United Verde's oil tanks, and, while attention was thus ccntered at the two extremes of the town, to work their will in the business district.
 That this is not mere conjecture is attested by the fact that both Deputy Marshal Carlson and City Marshal Crowley had received tips from re liable sources previously to the ef- feet that there was to be an 'upris ing of the Mexican element. Regard ed as idle rumor at first, this infor nation became ominously authorita tive until Saturday Carlson was in formed that this uprising" was fix ed for Sunday morning at 3 o'clock. Later his informants stated the hour had been changed to Monday at o'clock.
 How nearly accurate this informa- ton was is borne out by the fact that Harrison was killed about 12:45 o'clock Monday morning and that the shooting of the other officers took place at the other end of the town at almost the same hour. Other in formation since obtained by the offi- ccrs further confirms them in the be lief that q well-organized plot hao been matched for the burning of the town: that the two shooting affrays at extreme ends of the town were correlated, and that only the unex- pccted appearance of Harrison and his murder, which caused the five AFexicans to flee, prevented the firing of the oil tanks and the inauguration of what might have developed into a reign of terror

 Having emptied his revolver for the third time, the Mexican left the shelter of the school wall and ran down the hill, and into the line oi fire of Deputy Sheriff Hawkins who, with a single shot, dropped the Mexi- can with a bullet through his brain.

QUEST OF NOBLE BODY.

Noble. son of Mrs. J. j. Moran, 444
Manor place, who died in Baltimore
twelve days ago, has not been de-
iermined to the satisfaction of his
mbther, Detective Mullen and others.
The unidentified body shipped here
in steel casket from the Monument

in the city morgue at the foot of 7th
street. Detective. Mullen says he is
confident the body in the steel cas-
worker. J. ]. Moran, stepfather of

who accompanied Detective Mullen to
Baltimore yesterday. are satisfied the
wrong body was shipped to this CITY,
While in Baltimore yesterday the

the Baltimore City cemetery, where
Mobiles mother and stepfather identi-
fled body as being that of the mem
Der of their family. They were told
that the body identified in the ceme-
Lutz. the undertaken saying he had
known Lutz in life and could not be
mistaken about the identity.
An examination of the body ship
ped to this city failed to disclose a
wound in the throat such as Noble
was reported to have inflicted pre-
vious to his death, and the absence
of such q wound fully convinced De-
'tectfve Mullen and others that the
wrong body had. been shipped here.
1t was suggested this afternoon that
two bodies may have been inferred
in one grave in potter's field, Balti-
more, and that Mobiles body still. Is
there. Another suggestion was that
an improper marking of graves may
have caused the trouble.

Wet weather that appeared likely to
restrict the movement, of oats made
the oats market relatively firm. Prices.
