ASKS THAT HIS MONEY BE USED
 IN RED CROSS WORK

Leaving a note stating what dis position should be made of his per sonal effects but failing to give any reason for taking his own life, Fred Swenson, Swede. swallowed a quan- tity of strychnine. His body was found early yesterday afternoon by Frank Peters, a neighbor.
 Swenson lived in a small cottage on Seventh street near Palm Lane. He probably drank the deadly drug Thursday night and lay on the floor dead when the milkman placed the bottle of milk on the table just out side the door. It still stood there yesterday when shocked friends gath cred about to tell the officers what they knew and to speculate with the authorities as to the cause of sui eide.
 A few feet away from the dead body was the note directing that if any of his property be left after the funeral expenses were paid and final payments made on a Liberty bond. it should be turned over to the Red Cross.
 The general opinion of those who best knew Swenson is that the man has been gradually losing his mind. His peculiarities have become more and more pronounced but he was considered only bit weak minded" Although he came here for his health something like eight years ago. he was in a much better physical con dition when he took his life than he had been when he first reached Arizona.
 At that time he was employed by Mrs. Isaac Taft Stoddard and it was on her property that he has since been living. He maintained a small chicken ranch on the place and his neighbors frequently dropped in to see Fred" who is said to have been g years of age.
 Perkins made his usual call about 2 o'clock yesterday morning and find ing the door locked looked through the window and saw the body on the floor. He immediately notified the sheriffs office and Sheriff Wilky went at once to the scene. The jury was empaneled and with the sheriff investigated. The note was in q conspicuous place and was the first thing noted by the officer. It read:
 HIS lS AD NtlNllN liidl nave SVAiiN money in the Phoenix Savings Bank and Trust company. some $200, to be used for expenses and to clean up if the owner so wishes; also to finish paying for my Liberty bond. If any thing is left, I would like to have the | Red Cross get some.
 l (Signed) FIRED SWENSON.
 Chickens and turkeys belong to property which they are on.''
 The body was removed to the Whit ney Undertaking company. The in quest will be held before Coroner Frank De Souza at 1:S0 o'clock thIs afternoon, Serving on the coroner s jury will be Jack Kersting, T. M Morgan, Frank Perkins, R. c Ketcham, J w. Graham and J. J Cox.

J. H. Holmes. charged with the mur- der of William Pemberton. was given his preliminary hearing before Justice De Souza yesterday and after the state had rested its case the motion to dis miss by counsel for the defense was taken under advisement by the court until ? o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
 The slayer of oscar and William Pemberton, southside cattlemen, was charged only with the murder of Will jam Pemberton. the coroners jury holding that the killing of his brother was "justifiable homicide"
 A review of the tragedy attracted a large contingent from Tempe and Mesa to the west precinct justice court. Men and women stood during the talk ing of evidence. which lasted through out the day. while those who were fortunate enough to secure chairs did not move during the recess periods foI Tear they would have 10 stand.
 Widows in Court
 In the first row, seated together, were the widows of the murdered men. Dressed in the deepest mourning, the widows sat and heard again the story which so saddened their homes.
 Both small sons of William Penn herton had to be excused during the course of their testimony. Overcome by grief, the words refused to come. They told practically ti,, same story. which varied in no particular from that of John Moore. a third boy who lad witnessed the shooting.
 Boys Tell of Quarrel
 The boys. Gordon, II, and WilliaD., n with Johnny Moore. were herding the Pemberton cattle from the desert toward home when COW strayed into the Holmes field through an open gat>, they testified. There bad been trouble before over the COW trespassing on the Holmes place. On this particular as!- ernoon, when the COW s.rayed in the field Holmes fired and, turing, wslked through his alfalfa fiells toward hls home. In the mea=time oscar and William Pemberton climbed over the fence and called Co Holmes 10 stop. He continued cn his way, telling the Pem- bertons 10 go back. but they advanced with their hands on their right hips where they carried their guns, which they did not draw. according to the hoys
 Holmes. they said. turned and fired the first shot at William, who stag gered and fell. Then oscar fired al holmes. who shot him. and as Oscar dropped William attempted 10 rise and. in a kneeling posture. his hand that held the gun unsteady, tried tt return the fire. His sons say that he feiled to shoot and that as he wa: half kneeling Holmes again fired ana he fall

everybody is agreeable OF course. this

Dare Not Enforce Rule
Naturally, the half-milers want TO
keep their steeds where thew can win
most money with them. but when

what was in the rules and agreed IN

Poly Prep. Swimmer in Line
For lnterscholastic LaureIs

Leeming Jelliffe, of Brooklyn Poly
Prep, is beginning to stand out as
likely candidate for the national
interscholastic all-round swimming
championship of 1919. His brilliant
recent work, as we'll as his consistent
Improvement makes it more than prob
able that he will be in line for every
free style title on the high school list.
A short while ago, virtually without
training, Jelliffe thrashed 80 yards in
20 seconds and 100 yards in So seconds
covered the furlong at practice in 2
minutes and SO seconds, and has
shown ability to keep up fast and
steady pace for 500 yards.
These performances are the more
remarkable because the lad has been
playing football with the school team
and found it impossible to pay much
attention to swimming. lie should be
able to improve upon Them when he
settles down to regular practice, and
there is no doubt that he will be an
