YOUNG COWBOY
 TAKES OWN LIFE

w. B. Autrey, cowboy not more than g years of age, committed sui eide last week by sending bullet through his body just above the heart. The young cowboy had been to Doug las and was on his way to his home at Cloverdale, N. M., just over the Ar izona line, and Monday night stopped at the sheep camp on the Mcdonald ranch, 15 miles northeast of Slaugh- ter's, for the night.
 Wednesday morning Autrey told the men at the camp he was going to round up his horses and apparently he walked away with that purpose in mind. When he had been gone about five minutes tho0 at the camp heard pistolS shot, but thought nothing of it. A little while later James Taylor one of the men at the camp, went in the direction Autrey had taken and, when about 100 yards from the camp, came upon the lifeless body of the dead cowboy, lying face downward on the ground.

MEXICAN KILLS NAVAJO
 WITH A SHOVEL

A fight between Ambrosio Castillo, a Mexican, ,and Navajo Indian known by the name of Charley Frank, both employees of the Apache railways track repairing gang, took place just south of the stockyards, the fracas ending fatally for the Indian.
 No one seems to know much about the trouble--or, if they do, are keep ing mighty mum. However, from what little we could learn, the trouble arose over some minor controversy, both participants waxing warmer as the argument" progressed, the In- dian becoming so enraged that he struck Castillo several times in the face with his fists. Not being pleased with this kind of treatment, the Mex ican procured shovel and struck the Navajo on the head with it. The lat ter dM not seem to be feazed by the blow and advanced upon his adversary with an open knife, but fell to the ground before he could get close enough to use the weapon. The In- dian died from the injury Tuesday night.-Sncwfake Ferall.

OPEN SHOP SCORES
 PHOENIX VICTORY

The action of the Building Trades council in calling off the general build ing trades strike which was ordered Tuesday is regarded as a complete victory for those advocating the open shop. Unian leaders secretly admit that they have lost ground and that Phoenix is to all intents and purposes an open shop town, in that it will be impossible longer to carry into effect the universal card system, implying closed shop,
 The recent strike was called for the purpose of forcing the plumbers un- iop to join the building trades coun- cil, the idea being to tie up all build ing operations whether union jobs or non-union. The bricklayers' intena- tional objected to this policy as being a hardship to union contractors, whereupon H. G. Dillon, president of the building trades, announced that that body would concur.

LIVED ON CHARITY, AT
 DEATH HAD $100,000

After having made application to local Organizations for aid, Rev. John H. McClahan, who died in small room in the rear of 432 East Wash ington street, in Phoenix, last week, was found to be worth not less than $10O,000. The body was sent to Phil adelphia for burial at the request of relatives. Rev. McClahan was about 65 years old and had stated he was in Phoenix for his health.
 Shortly after his arrival in the city last week from Denver, Rev. McCla- han applied to the Associated Chari- ties for aid. He stated that he did not have very much money and wanted help in regaining his health. They referred him to Rev. Bertrand K. Cocks, superintendent of St. Luke's home, where he told the same story. He admitted to each organization that he had enough money to last him for time if he could secure cheap room.
 Nothing more was heard from the man until the Associated Charities re- ceived a written request from him for the services of physician. He stated he was in need of medical attention but did not have enough money to pay for it. Both the city and county phy- sicians were sent to attend him. About the time they were making an effort to get him to the county hospital he died. Word was immediately wired to his relatives in the east, and they answered, requesting the body to be sent to Philadelphia as cheaply as possible.
 When the authorities were getting his baggage in shape to ship east they found letters from prominent bonding houses over the country ask ing Rev. McClahan to purchase bonds and securities. Bank books showed that he had large amounts of money on deposit in Denver and St. Paul banks, and receipts for safety deposit boxes showed that he had several thousand dollars worth of gilt edge securities and bonds in banks in Los Angeles, Denver and St. Paul. After taking a rough estimate of the amounts it was estimated that the Rev. McClahan was worth more than $1OO,O0O. He slso had tidy bank de posit in a local bank.

HEAVENLY yISTTANT
 PASSES OVER KINGMAN

A meteor of unusual brilliancy passed over this section, on the even ing of Friday last week, passing from the northeast to the southwest. So close to the earth was the heavenly visitant that it's roar sounded deafen- ingly loud. The big mass is reported to have fallen in Granite mountain, over in the Blythe country, and an ef- fort is being made to obtain pieces of it for scientific purposes.
 One of the largest of these bodies that the world has ever known fell in Canyon Diablo many years ago and effort has been made to dig up the big mass. Specimens of this meteorite carry nickel, manganese, iron and mi mute amonds.-kingman Miner.
