RELATIVE DECLARES
 CAPT. THOMP PSON DID
 NOT COMMIT SUICIDE

That Captain John E. Thompson. United States Medical corps, who was found dead in bed at the Del Ray hotel Saturday, did not take an overdose of chloroform with suicidal intent was the opinion expressed yesterday by Fl L. Stine. 736 East Culver street, a brother -in-law of the deceased. Fol- lowing an inquest, the coroner'S jury brought in a verdict of death by an overdose of chloroform, self admins tered"
 From that verdict one might imply that the chloroform had been used with suicidal intent. but I am con vinced that such is not the case, MT. Stine said Captain Thompson had been a victim of insomnia for severa years and had been in the habit O. taking opiates to induce sleep. While ir the army his work had been very stren uous and he had suffered physically as a result. There is no doubt but that he had been increasing his doses of sedative drugs until he finally took the fatal drop too much
 Captain Thompson had written to Mir. Stine here several weeks ago. tell ing of an intention of visiting Phoeni. during a leave of absence from Maria, and purchasing ranch in the valley. He planned to return to the army until July, when he expected his discharge and then would bring his wife and son to make their home in Phoenix, said Mir. Stine.
 During much of the time Captain Thompson had been in the army, his wife had been with him. She recently was called to Rockford. H., by the death of her mother. Mrs. Thompson and her 12-year-old son will arrive in Phoenix Wednesday when arrange ments will be made for the funeral services for Captain Thompson.
 Captain Thompson entered the United States army when this country entered the world war and received his commission soon after he entered the service. During his service, Cap tain Thompson had been doing hos pital work at American Lake and at Maria. He gave up a good medical practice at Tacoma Wash, to enter the service.
 He was about AS years old. He was a 32nd degree Mason.

MAMMOTH WOLF |S KILLED BY RANCHER;
 WEIGHS 175 POUNDS

A big gray wolf, measuring six feet and one inch from tip to tip, was killed in Spring valley last week by q rancher named Clarence Sanderson, and it's car cass brought to Flagstaff Saturday. The animal weighed 175 pounds
 This particular Brer Wolf has a long and bloody history. extending back for t4 years says the Northern 4arizona leader. He has hunted at will through put that period, despite the efforts of interested ranchers and men in govern ment employ.
 His was bloody trail, for his slaughtering was on the wholesale or der. Sheep, calves and colts by the hundreds paid toll to his sharp teeth md his voracious appetite during this period. During the past two years he has paid his unwelcome attentions all most wholly to Spring valley. and the esultant decimation in the stock pop llation has been startling. Even a Shetland pony owned by one of ranch ITS fell prey to this Brer Wolfs ppetite
 Mir Sanderson's attention was at tracted by the barking of dogs last Wednesday, and as MT. Wolf was in he habit of appearing entirely unan- bounced. he took a chance on it being lim, grabbed his trusty .30-.30 and wenf put to investigate.
 From subsequent events 1t appeared .hat the dogs had run across the wolf 7aa engaged him in battle, but not savoring his ability in this line, had beat it." They had apparently only warmed the gentleman up,'' for when Mir. Sanderson came across him he was n his way to the home of the dogs to inish the duel.
 \ bullet or two caused him to change is mind. and he Iimped away Mr. ;anderson trailed him for about nine 1iles and finished his career with 2 mp Of lead to the heart.
 ..The wolf presented wonderfully majestic appearance said Mr- San ierson. "Ife looked like the true mon frch of the wilds, and I regretted the necessity of killing him. but it had to be lone in the interests of the stock.

In the third, however, the Oilers came back with vengeance, and brought in four scores. In the remaining six in ningS Mesa was held helpless While the Oilers sent in five more runs Err TOTS had a good deal to do with Mesa'S defeat, and ninth inning change of pitchers, substituting Hewitt for Gill, failed to swing the tide of battle.

 The right spirit is expressed in this excursion and we must have fine big crowd to carry the feeling of good fellowship 10 the fine folks of Casa Grande, Tucson. Douglas, Bisbee, Nogales and the other live towns on the route of the trip. I've been boosting for this trip for a long time. and that il is finally To be reality certainly pleases me. We should have such trips for the good that comes from the closer re lations that are brought about and because we should be closer in every way to the fine people all over the state.
 By the very fact that we make this trip. the men we meet will know that we are glad to meet them, and I don't believe il is sup posing too much to say that they will be glad to sec us.
