Eastman was known during his short residonco here as Emmet E. Roberts, having simply transposed his name from Robert Kmmet Eastman. Ho committed suicide rather than surrender. Tho man disappeared late Wednesday evening, following the discovery and identification of Mrs. Woodill 's bod v. Suspicion had pointed to him from the first, for ho was tho person with whom tlio girl had last been seen. Attempted to Leave Eastman tried to leave MetXiniol last Wrdncrday, but he was warned that ho had better remain to refuto tho charges against him.

Nfc-Quuy, who lives four miles from Mi-Daniel, on Harris creek, one of the estuaries of Chesapeake bay, heard in tte stillness of the night tho soft splash of oar.s far out ou the b'ack waters. Receiving no answer to his hails, Mc (Juay frantically summoned help by to ephoce. A posso arrived and then began tho stealthy trailing of East man, through tho waters.

Not sure that the men in tho other boat were really on li.s trail, Eastman continual up stream until he had reached a point off tho home of Colonel Thompson, foster father of tho girl for whoso death lie was being bought. As ho passed tho posso, hidden in the tall grasses of tho shore,' twico called lijHin Eastman to surrender. Then camo tho report of a revolver. It had boon aimed by Eastman at his own heart, but the officers, thinkiug hat the shot had been directed at tuoni, returned tho firo, and it was ciamid at firit that it was their fus lndc which had caused tho man's death.

Returning to McDailiel he ordoiod n ticket for Ilaltinwie. In thu ineantiino Constable Mortimer culled up over the telephone to inquire about him, stating ho was a stranger and might know something.

Twelve-year-old Cecil Hopkins, self-confessed slayer of his six-yeai-old brother, Theodore, made a statement to the coro ner today that strengthens the official's belief that the victim was- buried alivo in tho pigpen where ho was found yesterday. "He breatii d a little and stretched his arms," said Cecil, in describing the tragedy aim referring to incidents following the firing of the shot that made a gapir.4 wound in tho little body. Cecil was Lept in jail all night and refused to talk until today, when the coroner made a determined effort to get the details from the child's own lips As ho told of the shooting and subsequent burial of his brother, Cecil munched some candy that had been given him at the jail and apparently failed to realize the gravity of tho situation. According to his story, he killed little Theodore while his parents were absent from home. The two were eating luncheon in the house nnd quarreled over the food. He first drove his brother from tho houso and then followed and in a burst of anger, seized a shotgun and fired at the fugitive. Fearing tho consequences of his deed when his parents should return, ho laid the form of his baby brother inthe shadow of the fence while he made an excavation in the sand at the pig pen. While tho grave was being dug Cecil buid Theodore moaned and once stretched his arms. Upon tho return of his father and mother Cecil professed ignorance of the whereabouts of Theo dore and nssisted in the search until the body was uncovered. Thn cramped position of the arms and tho fact that tho victim's mouth was filled with sand add to the theory that the child was buried alive. lEftli POSTPONED CORONER WILL TAKE UP INVE3 TIGATION OF DROWNING ON MONDAY KILLARNEY, Ireland, June 25.

Forecast for Arizona: Fair Saturday and Sunday. 0 ,. y eiZENS MEETING Bf LSHGELY JTTENDEO GOOD PROGRESS MADE TOWARD BETTERMENT OF C0UNTY3 HIGHWAYS EXPERTS SPEAK ON SUBJECT ANOTHER MEETING TO BE HELD' LATER FOR FURTHER PER FECTING PLANS In an enthusiastic meeting of the bus iness and professional men of Globe he d in the dining room of the Domin ion hotel last night, nmaus and ways of building new and jnodern highways in Gila county wero decided on. Dell M. Potter of Clifton, J. B. Girand, ter ritorial engineer of highways, and J. G. Mclntyre, California road expert, were present and gave instructive talks. At tho suggestion of Reverend II. P. Cory, n committee of five men was appointed to diaw up plans for effect ing good roads improvement. This 'om mitteo consists of George W. P. Hunt, F. F. Towle, J. D. Coplen, F. J. Elliot and A. Hansen. It was the sentiment of this commit tee, and in this opinion the majority present at the meeting concurred, that the board of supervisors be requested to petition thr territorial board of control in July to declare the road from here to Roosevelt a territorial highway, and thus make it possible to lovy the maximum tax rate in Gila county. Ths money raised in this way will be npplied at ouce to building the road from here to Roosevelt. This work shou'd be begnn early in the fall. Will Petition Lcgislattro As a secondary step the territorial legislature will be akod to approve the Gila county bond issue, and then this issue will have to be approved by congress. The approving of the bond issue by both the territorial log'slaturo and congress will take ful y eighteen months. Previous to action by the territorial beard of control a report will bo necessary from the territorial engineer. Tho proposed action will not result, necessarily, in a higher tax levy, since the 25 cents road tax, payable under the law to the board of control can bo applied to tho G.obe-Roosevelt road, it it is declared a territorial highway. Steps will be taken at once to organ iz a local good roads association. J. B. Girand, the territorial engineer, feels confident that the road from here to Roosevelt will be declared a territorial highway, and that construction will begin nest fall. In this casi, Gila county will be the first to take advan tage of the new law making it possible to apply the territorial tax within the county. Address by Girand . J. B. Girand, territorial engineer,1 made nn interesting address. Hcsaids in part: "At the last session of the legisla ture a law' was passed making it pos-' sible for Arizona to have good roads, rnd a number of towns in the territory are resolved to take advantage of this law. It would take an engineer an in terminable longth of time to lay out these roads iu detail. But this can bo done to much better advantage by the people of each town through which the toads pass. , "To this end, I would suggest that a board or committee should hayCj charge of this work in the respective cities. I do not boleve that tho cost and maintenance of a roads system will prove as expensive as the terri torial board of coutrol seems to think.- "If the territory shows a desire to have these roads built it will get them. Ono argument ngainst the boaid of con trol having tihaigo of public toad con htructiou is that the aim of that body is to keep taxes down. We propose .to build roads of such a type that they will last for many years with .only a modulate amount of repair aud up keep. Up to the Fcopla "Now- with all due Tcpecl to tho board of control, action can scarcely be expected from them unless the peo ple of each county make known their wants. I do not think tho burden oft4 laying plans for good roads in Globe . should be left to the chamber of com nkree. This work should be done by the people who have not such great demands made on their time. There is, (Continued on Page Four.) SS8 fk ? w $ r iC: -s V- v Mc 1 & Wl & ,- s.t V V ' 3 Jl ' ii -S -A.
