Word was received in the city yesterday of the death at Santa
Monica of Mrs. Martha Dunlap, mother of John T. Dunlap, C.
Dunlap and Miss Mattie Dunlap. The body will be brought
here for burial but the time of the funeral has not yet
been set. Mrs. Dunlap was seventy years of age and had
been in ill health for some time. Last spring her
condition grew so alarming that her life was despaired
of. There was a slight recovery and it was though that
a residence on the coast would be beneficial.

HENRY EBERLE

Henry Eberle, a man about 37 years old died very suddenly at
the lunch counter in the rear of the Capitol Saloon last night
about 7 o'clock. He was an invalid, suffering from consumption
and came here last winter from Milwaukee for the benefit of
his health. He was employed at the Capitol at various times
as an assistant around the gambling games.
Last night about 7 he went to the lunch counter and ordered
his supper. While waiting for it to be served his head fell
forward on the counter. The waiter supposed the man was
sleepy and did not disturb him till the meal was ready.
Then he took hold of him to rouse him and discovered he was
dead.
Coroner Burnett was notified and impaneled a jury consisting
of George Lewis, H.K. Sollers, J.J. Blinkcorn, Joe Holland,
W.D. Tanner and W.A. Milton. After careful inquiry the
verdict rendered was death of natural causes. Mr. Eberle
was known to be hopelessly ill but managed to keep on his
feet and fight his trouble to the last. He kept up till
his strength was completely exhausted and the lamp of life
flickered out. The body was turned over to Easterling and
Whitney who have wired his relatives.
FUNERAL OF HENRY EBERLE
June 9, 1904
The funeral of Henry Eberle who died suddenly at the Capitol
lunch counter almost a week ago took place yesterday
afternoon. It was attended by many friends he had made
during his brief residence in Phoenix. Soon after his
death it was announced that the body would be sent east
for burial but a day or two ago there was a change in
plans and it was decided that the interment should be in
Phoenix. While Eberle lived here he was in receipt of
$100 a month and it was understood that the money was sent
to him by the proprietor of a Milwaukee Gambling house
where Eberle had been employed, it was told that though
the proprietor had gone out of business he had arranged
for the payment to Eberle of that sum a month.
Among the papers found among the effects of Eberle was a
clipping of a German newspaper published in Milwaukee in
which there was a description of a horse race in which Eberle
had won $12,000. There is a man in Phoenix who knew him in
Milwaukee and knew of the circumstances of the winning. He
said that Eberle whom everybody knew him liked, was one of
the most inveterate gamblers he had ever met. He was
employed in a gambling house but as soon as his shift was
over he would take a lace on the outside of a game and
generally lose his salary. His friends tried to dissuade
him from playing but the game became a mania with him.
When he made his $12,000 winning a considerable part of it
went over the faro table, but the proprietor of the house
where Eberle was employed succeeded in getting hold of
$3000 of it which he put in a bank under an arrangement
that Eberle could not draw it all out at once. The bank
sent him $100 a month until his death.
ARTHUR EDWARDS

Little Arthur Edwards, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur J.
Edwards died last night. The little boy who was only two
years and one month old has been singularly afflicted and
his case attracted the attention of most of the physicians
of the city. Just eleven weeks ago last night he was
seized with membranous croup. Five days later a tracheotomy
was performed and he wore a tube for twelve days. After it
was removed he was about for a week when another operation
of the same kind became necessary. He apparently recovered
and was able to be about the streets. His physicians were
not confident of his complete recovery for there was a
condition which baffled them. Last Sunday he was seized
with acute capillary bronchitis of which he died at 7
o'clock last night. The funeral will take place at 4
o'clock this afternoon from the family residence at no.
475 North Fifth Avenue. Rev. Dr. Halsey will officiate.
PEDRO ERIVE
Arizona Republican Newspaper
July 2, 1904
Yuma County has been afforded the prospect of another
hanging soon. A murder of extraordinary brutality was
committed in the northern part of the county a few days
ago. The crime was made all the worse by the motive.
Deputy Sheriff Tom Blair of Harrisburg arrived in Yuma
yesterday with Ygnacio Samaniego, charged with one of
the most atrocious murders ever committed in the county.
He confessed to the deputy and recited all the horrible
details. The victim was Pedro Erive, with whose wife
Samaniego was infatuated, and the murder was done to
remove the only obstruction to the illicit love.
Samaniego, who stands charged with the bloody murder,
was much infatuated with the better half of Pedro Erive,
the murdered man and he reasoned in his mind that could
he "put his rival out of business," then he might claim
his love, without fear of molestation. He went to the
murdered man last Friday and informed him that he had
discovered some rich placer claims and invited Erive
to go with him and investigate the same and share in
his wealth and while Pedro Erive was down upon his
knees examining the ore, dealt him a stunning blow
with a rock and then finished him by smashing his
head to a jelly with a large boulder, weighing about
thirty pounds. The fiend then returned to the woman
and told her of the crime and said they could now live
together, that she need have no further fear. While
guilty of unfaithfulness to her husband, the woman
refused to enjoy the bitter fruits of such a ghastly
murder. Horrified that she might be thought an
accomplice, Mrs. Erive at once notified Deputy Sheriff
Tom Blair, who arrested Sameniego and secured from him
a full confession.
The murderer was arraigned before Justice Thurlow Tuesday
morning for a preliminary hearing, the territory being
represented by Deputy District Attorney R.F. Davis. H.
Wupperman appeared for the defendant.
