dreamed he had discovered new

terday that he had been offered the
sum of $4,000 for the device by one
of the Columbus mills, and that he
had declined to sell.
The device is a great improvement
over the old picker and is said to be
a decided time-saver. Mr.. Payne is
being heartily congratulated on his
good fortune, which he attributes

In the carly days of it's existence The Republican was migratory bird, though it's flights were not quite sea sonaL Nor did it move often because it was more remuneratiVe to be on the wing than 10 pay rent The paper came into physical existence Tn the AIonihon building. The editorial and repertorial quarters were in single room on the second floor and the busi- ness office adjCined f.
 The composing room where eight or nine printers were employed was on the first floor in the rear of the build ing and the press room was saed in the rear. The power for operating the press was furnished by d water motor. That was the home of the paper for about two years though with its de- clning fortunes it was forced to give up it's upstairs quarters and crowd the editorial and business rooms into the composing room.
 In the spring of 1893, there having ! been some temporary improvement of it's financial condition, it moved into the newly completed Fleming block across the street and occupied about one third of the present quarters ot ! the Phoenix Savings Bank and Trust company and about two-thirds of the basement of that part of the building

TWO GRAVES IN GID CEMETERY REMAND
 IF EARLY TRAGEDY

The Republican has had occasion 10 record many strange events, more than find their way into the columns or newspapers in the average town one night in the early ninetieS a reporter was standing in front of the office on First avenue when he heard plstoI shot It was followed in moment oy another. He hurried in the direction of the sound and found a large crowd in front of a small frame house on Adams street opposite the east end or the Doris -Heyr7an building. A man had shot a woman, had run across the street, and in an adobe hole on the site of the Doris building, had shot himself. Both were carried into the house. the man unconscious, the woman partially so.
 She had just moved into the neigh borhood and no one there knew her name The man could not be imme- diately identified. The shooting had girl who said that they had been talking, apparently not quarreling. The woman turned toward the house. and the man called her back. As she turned laughing, he fired a shot. The reporter made hIs way into the house but could learn only that the woman had two children, a boy and ! a girl who sometimes stopped tnero and some nights, away from the house.
 ! After lingering an hour hoping for an end of a thread the reporter, who lconstituted the entire editorial. re- portorial, telegraph and proofreadins staff of the paper and could not wait around till Christmas for develop ments, went outside where by now a thousand people had congregated.
 Standing under q tree. he heard a
 man say that he had brought the slayer down from Goldfield that after noon. The man was a stage driver and from him the reporter learned that the name of the killer was Secrist. He told the driver that he was on his way to Phoenix to see his wife and children. Later in the night the reporter found the children and learned from them that they had come to Phoenix from Oregon; that they
 had a gra ldfather living in Pickaway
 county, Ohio, but they had never been there and had never seen him They lalso had a couple of uncles in Ohio.
 Shortly before midnight Secrist
 died and was taken to an undertaker's.
 His wife died soon after and was placed by his side. Then the first curious thing happened. Some months before that a young man of the name IOf Secrist from PIckaway county, Ohio, had arrived in Phoenix and

 The expedition left Yuma and noth- ing more vas heard of it for some weeks, when a Guaymas paper was handed me with the story oS a man who had arrived there. starved and half insane; of the killing of his two companions on Tiburon. He said that the boat had landed there and was met ! by several Indians with whom Robin son talked in Spanish. The Indians in reply to a question said that there was good hunting just back of a low range Of hills that could be seen from the. shore. There were always many deer there. Robinson and one of his com, 1 panions left the boat, but the narrator elected not to go. Robinson and the | Indians went away. After they had 1 rounded the point of the hills the man l in the boat heard a shot and then he
 saw the man who had gone with Rob
 inson running toward the boat, pursued | by the Indians, who overlook him, ! knocked hiu down and clubbed him to death. Then they made a rush for the boat, but the occupant pushed it off from the shore and drifted down the gulf
 As some such story had been ex-
 pccted it did not create a great deal Of excitement. But as weeks passed
 and no further word came from Rob

 story might be true.
