NEWMAN HELD FOR
 MURDER OF HOCTOR.

PHOENIX, Feb. 14-Jeff D.. Newman must answer to the superi- or court of Maricopa county for the killing of Frank Hector 'on a desert road north of Glendale, January 30. At the completion of a preliminary examination, Newman was bound over to the superior court under a $20OOO bond to be tried for murder.
 He is the first man so held to answer since the restoration of cap tal punishment last December. Technically, under the law, murder is a non-bailable offense. The word ing of the provision, however, makes it possible for man to secure his release on bonds unless the evidence of guilt is strong or the presump- ton thereof great
 No effort was made by the de fense to introduce testimony during the preliminary examination.
 Self-defense will uEquestionably be the plea of the defendant.

 BACK FROM REAL FRONT
(From Sundays Daily)

Twice shot in the hand, gassed and with two fierce. campaigns to his credit, Frank A. Lawhead, son of MT. and Mrs. J. s. Lawhead of 227 North Montezuma, returned from his demobilization camp yesterday He is believed to be the first local boy who has come back from the actual fighting front.
 Lawhead was private in Go. F, 3Otn U. s. Infantry. He went abroad on June 25. In the Argonne and along the Vesle river, he participat- cd, first in the battle that shook the Prussian grip off Paris, and later, off all northern France and Belgium. He received two machine gun bullets through his hand, while lying in a shell hole, but so excellent was the hospital treatment, he has suffered little injury to the member. A bullet tore his gas mask, and he received few lung-fuls of the mustard, but was not seriously harmed

CFrom scgurday's DaiIv.)

Don C. MacIver, who is so well known in Prescott, is now temporar- fly residing at Coblenz, Germany, but writes that he.may Init the trair' for home about March 1. He has not been strictly on the firing line, but has been amusing the boys in front of the foOtlights as a member of the American Overseas Theatre League. In his letter 10 F. R. Dyas he says his troupe took over the most fash lonable and popular hostelry ill Ger many, known as Hotel Hohenzol- Tern, and transformed it ill a jiffy into playhouse. Two shows were giv- ell daily, and whether the famous family name was desccratcd was not known, neither did the actors nor the audience concern themselves. Mac lver also states that the circuit is down the long line of the Tanks and the troupe is joyously welcomed, having to repeat the stunts often.
 Of the advent of the American to Germany he says the natives arc wearing smile and extending a wei come. If these demonstrations are not camouflaged it is solacing to know the Hun has had enough and is taking his medicine without a murmur Of living conditions in Coblenz the writer says it is a rcve- lation to go into the shops of the city and behold such a vast amount of food goods, of the finest quality, showing that the pitiable cry of fam inc impending was bogus. Also the German merchant is undcrselling the French, and there is abundance of comfort as well as luxury in thar large city. The American Is billet cd out in the residential quarters, and they are enjoying the best in the land at the expense of the natives.

ARIzONAN SAYS BELGIUM GETS

JEROME SOLDIER IS CO., ING THROUGH DULL ROUTINE DUTY, AND MEETS ONLY ONE FROM OVER HERE.
(From Fridays Daily)

Writing from Liesen, Belgium, to his aunt, Mrs. Belle McCurdy, an ar rival during the week from Jerome Rupert Ames has the following to say:
 This country at first was interest ing to be in, but the novelty has worn off, and now it is really monotonous. The Belgians continue to treat us fine, and We have fowls galore to eat, and home made candy. This tastes fine, and if looks like old blackjack Am with the second army, but our command is away in the rear of the main column to be in supporting distance if anything hap pens. The higher officers do not propose to take any chances with the Bocne, and they are closely watched when they enter the lines. We have been put next" by Belgians. Got leave last week and went into Co., logne for a day The city is beauti- ful and has so many historical at fractions. The detail was fourteen, and it was smile here from the na- tive and a jest there, so take your choice of how the Yank is received. The shop people arc very cunning and they are just as up-to-datc here as in the U. s. You have got to hand it to the Hun in doing business with the Yank, and might as well admit we have been beautifully soak ed in buying.
 Saw Charles Cowles during De- cember with an engineer outfit. He left the United Verde Extension to volunteer, and we had only few words. He had been slightly gassed, but was well again. Heard of Mr. Williams, a United Verde mining en- gineer, and he is with an English corps. I have not had a letter in five months, and all the boys from the Jerome country have not seen a single one of so many to be over here It is, after all, like being in a big city in this country, as there are soldiers packed like sardines in a can as far as the eye can see.

 "Arizonans have only day or so more to take advantage of this op- portunity to save the most precious thing in the world-human life-and if the state does not raise its quota, then we must face the fact that some where in this world of our-in Chris tan countries-little ones are going down to the most agonizing death the world has ever known.

SHOCKING DEATH l. OF DESPONDENT
 SOLDIER
PLACES BARREL OF SHOT GUN IN HIS MOUTH TO END LIFE; SUICIDED PROBABLY LAST WEEK; WAS .PENNILESS.
(From Saturdays Daiiy1

Yesterday morning, the discovery was made by two strangers in the city of the dead body of young man in one of the, cottages of the Klein sanitorium two miles south of town, supposed to be Orrin M. Peacock, by papers found on his person. He had committed suicide. His death occurred in a frightful manner; he placed the barrel of shot gun in his mouth and discharged it. Practical ly all of his head was blown off. That he had long premiditated self-des, truction was proven by note left behind When the suicide was. com nitted was not known, but it must have been at least one week ago. He left farewell message which stated that he had been discharged from the army at Camp Kearny, Cal,. and his native state was Nevada. On his person no money was found, and the belief prevails that he was driven to the deed by dependency. .r.
 He could not be identified as hav- ing been seen in. this city, and how he procured the weapon with which he ended his life was not known. The finding of the body was due to the two strangers making observa- tions of the Klein property with the view of buying the same, and in con ducting their examinations the dead man was found in a rear room of one of the outlying cottages, when they returned to. the city at once to report the tragedy to Coroner C. H. Nc Lane.

MINERS FAIL ID MEET TERMS:
 WORK STOPS

| EKOME, Feb. 13.-WIth Its two greatest producing mines shut down, the Verde district passed out as a factor in cop per mining shortly after s o'clock this morning. Within a few minutes after the, number of men reporting for the morning shift had been ascertained, the United Verde was paying off its miners, muckers, trammers, and, in fact. all ungerground and surface workers. Not less than three, nor, if it can be helped, more than eight months of idleuess are in prospect for Jerome's. lead ing mines.
 The United Verde had rcquir- cd that the miners send a mini mum of 250 men to go under ground on the morning shift When the men had assembled, a coune was made, and it was found that but 182 men, with miners in the minority, had re- ! ported for duty. The announce ment was then made that the needs of the company had not been complied with, and in a few minutes, the process of closing down the works was under way.
 At Verde and Clarkdale, the shelter fires were drawn for the first time in years. Those huge furnaces that had burned out millions of pounds of copper for the United States during the war period, were cold. Wheels ceas- ed turning, and only enough men remain on duty to act as watch men, while at the mines, the pumps are the only scenes of activity.
 At the. United Verde Extension where 100 men were required to report this morning, total of about 65 showed up. As mat ter of fact, the company needed 150 men to go below, but asked for only 100.
 District Is Paralyzed.
 The district is paralyzed. About 4,OOO men are added to the total unemployed. Indirectly af- fected by the shut down are ap- proximately 25,OOO persons. The will to work or be worked for among this huge number of peo- 'ple was not sufficiently strong to force the malcontents to capit- ulatc, when the mining compan- ies put out their offer.
 Exodus Has Begun.
 An exodus of miners and other workers and their families from the stricken district, had already begun, but after today's decision, the tide increased beyond the ca pacity of the railroad to carry the passengers. The trains left here packed to the car doors with departing. Ii is said that among the first to leave were a number of the I. W. W. agitators, whose work was done, and who depart ed for other fields, perfectly sat isfied with the results of their ac- tivities. The pleas of the solder element had failed to stay their hands.
 As a matter of fact, hundreds of families are facing desper- ate future. The breadwinners either would not, or could not, and now, cannot work. The ne cessity for measures of relief is expected to develop very short Fly.
 Semi-officially it is stated that the mines will not try to reopen, even for curtailed production, with a short force, before May. The shut down, it is said, is for not less than three nor more than eight months.
