men were Tn the party. It is believed that an organized band of thieves whose members would stoop to any crime, make their rendezvous in some Of the mountain fastnesses.
 In the vicinity of Harshaw the Kelton party met a Mexican from Bisbee who was on the trail of a horse and mule which had been stolen from Mendosa of Bisbee. He had lost the trail temporarily but was put onto it again by the sher- ifs trailer. It led directly toward Harshaw and it is predicted that he found his animals there and the thief also.-Proepector.

Two little islands furnish four fifths of the cloves consumed by the ssworld, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The islands are Zanzibar and Pemba, and little while ago Arabs found it very profitable to bring slaves from the African lake region to the coast and smuggle them in the night over to Pemba to work on the clove plantations. These farms were very remunerative once, but the market has been over stocked, and the price has fallen so low that the clove raisers have de cided to diversity their crops.

One of the most amusing incl dents that has occurred in Phenix lately was an old drunk crying over the petrified man at the Commer- cial hotel Sunday. Some one had told the old fellow that the stone man favored him very much, and on making a vist to lin he discov- cred the likeness and declared it to be long lost brother. He visited the cold form again yesterday and indulged in some more tears, He says his brother was supposed to have been killed in the canyon in which this petrified man was found near Fresno, Cal.-Phenix Gazette.

Bad Tourists.

A private car went through Yuma the other day in which were two Englishmen who were taking tour of the United States. The Seminal says;
 They were covered with cartridges and the youngest had silverplated No.32 pistol strapped to his side with which to defend himself from the attack of the Indians along the road. He also had a kodak and devoted his time trying to get a snap shot at some one of the several groups of Indians near by, but failed in his efforts. Finally he tried his hand at per suading young Yuma squaw to uncover her face that he might photograph her, but all in vain. He bought all the wooden Indian toys, images, babies, bows and arrows on sale by the Indians, but no use, they would not have their pictures taken.
 When on the way from Fl Paso the occupants of the car had frol- lc, when they accidently set fire to it by burning fire crackers in it. The cost of the tripis to be$10,000to which they can now add S3,000 for repairs to their car.

LaSeIle'S SlayerS.

Sheriff Kelton returned last night from the pursuit of the murderers of Laselle. The Mexican trailer and the sheriff took the trail at the house and found that it lead .di- rectly back over the trail that had been made coming to the house, in- dicating that the murderers had come there for the express purpose of murder and robbery. There were three men, and each one was mounted on horse. The trail led almost by the Barbacomari ranch house where the pursuing party left their animals which were jaded and took a fresh mount which was ac- corded them with pleasure by the Thornton boys who are proprietors at present at the ranch house when told of the mission on which they were bent, the two young men at the ranch volunteered to assist in the pursuit and the four members of the party pushed on, never los ing the trail until it reached Santa Cruz which is abou. ten miles across the line. Here all efforts to follow the trail were futile and the party retracted their steps, the Thornton boys coming back together and the sheriff and trailer taking circuit ous route in the hopes of striking the trail in another direction, but without success.
 The three men who murdered La selle were Mexicans and were seen by different persons on their way towards the line after the killing. They stopped at one ranch and had something to eat but travelled most of the time at night.
 Sheriff Kelton learned on the trip that about the same time that La selle was killed, a man named Stone who was employed by Sala- gar, went up into the San Jose mountains to get a load of wood but did not return when expected and Q search was made for him. His body was found stripped of everything of value. Forty dollars which he had in his pocket was ta- ken. Around the vicinity were found tracks of animals and men, and being followed some distance the trail went up into the noun tains. Those who followed 1t told the sheriff that not less than ten

Canaigre.

Bulletin No. } of the Agricultur- al Experiment Station of the Uni versity of Arizona refers to investi- gations being made to determine the value of Canaigre. This plant is also known as "sour dock" The botanical name is Rumex hymeno- sepalus.
 Canaigre bears some resemblance to rhubarb or pie-plant. It is found in southern Texas, New Mex ico and Arizona, scattered along the river and creek bottoms, occa- sionally covering patches of sever al acres. It is also sometimes found on high lands when the soil Is moist.
 The roots of the Canaigre contain twice as much tannin as oak or hemlock bark, and the object of the investigations is to learn if the plant can be cultivated and in- cluded in the staple crops of this region.
 The bulletin states that the Expe riment Stationiis studying the plant to determine the following points:
 1. Will it respond to cultivation and yield enough per acre to make it profitable to grow, if it can be placed on the market in large quan- titles.
 II. Is irrigation advisable, or ne- cessary, and, if so, how much, and when.
 III. Will application of water in irrigation affect the quantity and quality of the tannin in the plant,
 ". What soil are best adapted to it's growth.
 Canaigre has been planted in sev- eral places in the Territory and on variety of soils, and careful chem ical and botanical study is being made to learn soil requirement. and habit of growth.
 Seeking all available informa- tion, the Bulletin asks assistance on the following points from the public:
 1. The geographical limits of the natural growth of the plant.
 2. Estimate of the amount that may be gathered from plants grow ing wild.
 8. Roots from places in the Ter ritory where the plant grows in abundance, with description of soil and surroundings, to aid in deter mining what are the soil require ments.
 Members of the Station staff will visit as many localities where the plant grows as time will permit, but correspondence is sought with any one who can supply information in regard to the plant.
 The bulletins of the Stations are sent free to any applicant. Ad- dress communications to Agricul- tural Experiment Station, Tucson, Arizona.

Another complication is likely to arise in this country in connection with the Chinese question:. The people of the Pacific States are be- coming alarmed at the likelihood of a renewed Chinese immigration into their borders by a means which would not conflict with the Chinese Exclusion Act. The ever ingenious Celestial is rapidly making his way into Mexico and has now learned that under existing treaties between that republic and the United States all Mexican citizens, either by birth or naturalization, have full right to reside in any part of the United States. The Chairman has also learned that he can easily become Mexican citizen by a stay of but two years in that land. He is like ly to take advantage of this fact to pass over into United States territo- ry legally unhindered. It is possi- ble that ere long there may arise a regular Chinese-Mexican trade in certificates of Mexican citizenship. issued to Chinamen by the ream. This.would indeed be a difficult mat ter to cope with.-Enterprise.

The petrifed man now on exhi-

The petrified man now on exhi- bition in this city is certainly one of the greatest attractions ever shown here, or anywhere else for that matter. It is certainly won- derful object, and no one should fail to see 1t. The body is perfect in form, and it's features are perfect in- dicating those of an American h. dian. It has been closely scruti- nized by professional men in Cali fornia and Arizona, and they all agree that is not the work of man. The body is six feet four inches in height, of square build, and weighs 415 pounds. The hands, feet and limbs preserve their symmetry, and the entire figures indicates a man of prodigious strength. The nails and wrinkles in the skin of-the fig ure are as natural as life. No man can look at the outline of the body without being convinced that it once contained life.-Enterprise.

The guide tells rather exciting story
or how one day Hooker who was hunt
ing in the canyon, met at one Of these
points In the trail bear, and after a
vain attempt to kill the brute with a
ball from his rifle he closed with it, and
fought the animal desperately with
a hunting knife. During the fight man
and bear rolled down the side Of the
canyon. Hooker, wounded and bleeding,
lodged in the limbs Of redwood tree,
and was taken down few hours later
by a searching party that had come out
for him. The bear was found at the bot
tom Of the ravine dead.
Lieutenant Hooker was but one OF a
coterie of young army officers who were
ouartered in Sonoma valley in 1S4s, and
across Sonoma creek from the Hooker
ranch stands THE Rendezvous" where
the young army officers were in the
habit of meeting weekly to pass an even
ing at cards, chess and other social
pastimes which were sweetened by the
banquets Of the native wines that had
been casked for years In the musty cell
lars OF Pedro Curillo, wrinkled Span
iSh mser, who threw the doors Of his
ranch house open to visitors only when
they were willing to pay handsomely for
their entertainment.

ing the road to where Mckenzie lay he
was killed. Mckenzie ran to the fallen
man, secured his musket and anmuni-

With the ammunition that ne secured
Mckenzie kept up the fight until help
came to him from the rear.
Dust covered and broken l found en-
old style mahogany dressing case and
card table that had belonged to Hooker.
The card table was an elaborate piece OF
furniture. 1t was inlaid with pearl and
was evidently imported, for the designs
and cleverness Of the workmanship evil
denced the deft fingers Of japanese ar
tisans.
In early days Lieutenant Hooker was
a prominent figure in the politics of So
noma county. In 1853 the Democrats
headed their ticket with his name as
nominee for the assembly. The Settlers
convention (there was no Republican
party in Sonoma county in those days.
nominated in opposition to Hooker
pioneer Of the name of James Bennett
The contest between Hooker and Ben
nett hinged directly on the question OF
removing the county seat from the town
of Sonoma to Santa Rosa. The fight
was hard one and resulted in tie vote.
A second election was held, and Hooker
was defeated by eight votes. The rec
ords of Sonoma county show that the
same year Joseph Hooker was appointed
road overseer in Sonoma township.
Hooker's falls are located at the head
of a deep caynon in the Napa noun
tains. A stream OF water tumbes down
the rugged side Of the ravine into a
broad, deep pool, surrounded by tall
redwood trees. The trail that leads
from the valley to Hooker's falls is a
very dangerous one to follow. 1t winds
along the side Of the canyon, and in
many places it is so narrow that two
persons cannot pass on 1t.
