Mr.. hazyboy took the spade and dug
with feverish anxiety, the perspiration

finally reached the hard substance, and
STOPPING down unearthed a rusty, IRON

been digging for treasure, the previous

Here is another from the Jagville

"Geo. r. Lusher, a resident of Coo]ey's
Gap, was seized last Tuesday with a
disease having all the symptoms of
Asiatic cholera. Doctor Pisenwort, who
was hurriedly summoned. examined the
patient, and after due deliberation, ad-
ministered half a gill of Red Nosed
Pete's best whisky. Mr.. Lusher had so
far recovered yesterday morning that he
pranced about like a NANCY colt and
passed the day in a ~tireless hunt for
parti-colored snakes, dragons, spiders,
bugs, hydra-headed insects and many
other animals peculiar to delirium
tremens. His funeral will occur to-
morrow, from Christ church. Friends
of the family are requested to be pres

The Real American National Bird.

There is a considerable profit in
Thanksgiving turkeys, but to get the
cream Of prices preparation must begin
early. Fattening should be systematic
ally pursued in September up to the
1 time of marketing. The true way, how.
1 ever. is to get the first broods ready for
Thanksgiving, the second for the winter
] holidays and the late ones for january
and February. These three periods are
1 the times when turkeys realize IL,
8most. In striving to market all of
Ethem at n time considerable risk is
&&run Probably the Thanksgiving tur.
|#keys pay the best, for less time is re-
sssquired to keep them, and they are mar
@keted almost as soon as they are old
sNSenough to kill. There is no extra feed
sshng to carry them over until a better
8perlod, such as must necessarily be the
&case with the Christmas and January
e turkeys.
= The turkey has become a sort of ma
& ional bird for eating during the holi-
Plays, and consequently Americans are
becoming epicures in this respect. They
Z know good turkey meat from poor, and
At is useless to try to deceive them. They
1Eare willing to pay good prices at such
IEaseason, but they want first class meat.
Tn young turkeys the fattening process
Ms the most important. For the first
few weeks they should be fed corn,
wheat and oats, mixed in equal proper
gstions, and after that corr should be the
Eonly grain fed to them. Feed them
corn, milk, q little fresh meat and some
cooked vegetables occasionally up to tho
time for killing them. This will gener.
ally make them fat and heavy, with de-
liciously sweet and juicy meat.
Of late years attempts have been made
to flavor the turkey meat with nuts.
The famous canvasback ducks flavor
their meats by feeding on the wild
celery, and it is said that turkey meat
can be favored by similar methods.
Chestnuts are the best nuts to feed to
them, and when these are plentiful it
may be worth the trouble to feed them
broken to the turkeys. They will. eat
( them greedily, but to give the meat
much flavor great quantities must he
ssdevoured.-W. E. Farmer in American
sCultivator. ~

Why Justice Weeps.

John A. Johnson, sentenced for life for murdering the Clevinger family, in the Buckskin mountains, Yavapai county, was first sentenced to death along with his partner and fellow murderer, Wilson. Wilson confessed to the entire bloody york and Johnson's sentence was com muted to life Imprisonment in 1887, but he was recently pardoned out of prison, along with eight or nine of the same stripe. The daughter of the murdered Clevingers, who was present at the time of the murder, maintained to the last that Johnson, the man now free, was equally as guilty as Wilson, who was hanged. In this connection the Courier heard story from a fairly reliable source which runs about thus:
 Wilson and Johnson were both in the cell, having been sentenced to death, awaiting the dread hour when both should expiate their crimes on the gallows. They put their heads together and concluded that it was folly for both to die when one could save the other by confessIng to having done all the bloody work himself. They played a game of cards to decide who should sacrifice himself to save the other. The black man held the winning hand, and Wilson abided the dread agreement and died on the scahold to save a fellow mur- derer as we'll as to satisfy the law Prescott Courier.

A Wrong Impression.

Liept. H. o. Flipper, in charge of the surveying corps which is now running the lines for the big irriga- ting canal of the Arizona and So- nora company, stated that the re- ports concerning the possibility of a new international boundary line survey, taking in 66 miles of ~Ame- rican territory are erroneous. Lieut.. Flipper has made this survey twice and he is positive that there will not be a divergence of over a mile or so at any point on the line. Any change in the vicinity of Nogales will in all probability lead to the annexation of GOO or 800 yards on the Mexican portion of the town to United States territory. Eastward the line may take a few miles of cat tie ranches back under Mexican jurisdiction but nothing more.- Republican.

An lEflux of MexiCanS.

Deputy Sheriff Vim. Garland, who arrived in Solomonville from Clifton Tuesday, reports that a large number of hard looking inn poverished Mexicans have recently come to the Clifton country, who might be taken for refugees from the band of the bandit Garza, who has been operating on the border of Texas and Mexico. Their forlorn condition indicates hard usage, and the deputy fears that among their number the worst criminal element of the Mexican Republic may be represented, and that in the near future they may figure in the crim- inal courts of the country. Mir. Garland says that the Arizona Cop per company have about completed the piling on the north side of fhe Frisco river, from the point of rocks which is intended to protect Clifton from high water. So skillfully and securely has the work been done that the people on the north side of the river have had their apprehen- sions allayed and believe that the property contiguous to the river will be efectually protected from any rise in the river unless the wa ters reach an unprecedented height. -Solomonville Bulletin.

THERE appears to be but little prospect of Arizona going in as a State during the present session of Congress, says the Tucson Citizen. New Mexico is even better qualified as to population than Arizona, but she seems no nearer the goal of her ambition than our own fair Terri tory. Delegate Joseph, in recent interview said: This is the fourth time I have gone before the Senate Committee on Territories in SUD- port of the admission of New Mex leo. The experience of the past hardly justides confidence in the future. Heretofore it has been i'm possible to get the Senate Commit tee to take action of any kind. Chairman Platt simply exercised the senatorial prerogatiye ofa pock- ct veto. He never even called the matter to the attention of tie full committee, :"

Sharp shocks of earthquake were felt here a few minutes past Il o'clock last night, lasting almost a full minute. Owing to the late hour many people did not feel them, but those who did say the shocks were harder than last July. Reports from California say the shocks were very severe at Colton, Indio and other places, but nowhere hard enough to cause damage.-Yuma Times.

THE law on escapes from prison is very strict. The prisoner who makes an escape, or the jailor who permits it, no matter how insecure the place of confinement, is liable to indictment for a felony. The law as laid down, says: Ut is even criminal in prisoner 10 escape from lawful confinement, though neither force nor artifce be used by him for the purpose thus, if he goes out of the prison-doors when open ed by the consent or negligence of the jailor. he may be indicted for the escape. But an escape when effected by the negligence or conni- vance of the officer in whose cus- tody the prisoner was at the time, is more properly an escape, and is much more culpable in him than in the prisoner, whose natural desire of liberty must plead strongly in his behalf"
 The law makes no excuse for the weakness of a building in which prisoners may be confined. A cloth tent may be furnished the iailor by the county, and if he permits an escape, he is just as guilty as though the escape were made from the most secure building that can be con- structed. The only excuse allowed in the criminal practice is ''the act of God, or of the country's ene- mics, "and an excuse which does not come within either of these catego- ries, will be no excuse. The Sheriff is liable for damages for an escape in civil cases, and the person hay ing them in custody Is liable crimi- nally, and the punishment is quite severe. Another well-known fact is, that ignorance of law in an off cial is no more of an excuse than for a criminal. It is incumbent on him to acquaint himself with all the duties of his office and then per form them. If he fails, he is respon- sible to the law just as any other person. Unless the proper persons see that the law in regard to the negligence or carelessress (to put 1t mildly) oI officials are enforced, there will be no security for life or property. Officials should be made to perform the duties which proper ly belong to their positions, or suf- fer the consequences. Until this is done, we can expect no abatement in crime.

TEACHERS COLUMN.
Free Text Books Recommended.

wish, in a brief manner, to call the attention of parents and the promoters of education of the Territory-should they agree with me-in calling attention to, and asking our representatives to the seventeenth legislative assembly to en- act law whereby we may have free text books in our district schools. TIe district furnishes free school houses, free furniture, free apparatus and free teachers, why not free text books as well, and open the schools to the poor est? The patriotic purpose of the pub lIc school is universal education, but the object cannot be reached, if we throw the expense of text books upon those who have nothing with which to buy. It is like offering the milk and honey of salvation, which the poor are welcome to, without money and without price, in marble cathedrals and at golden al tars, where only the rich can bow. Ex- perience shows that from ten to twenty per cent of the school population is ex- cluded by this burden. But some will say that books are now free to the poor, Sec. 12, page 3S, School law Books may be furnished to indigent children by the trustees, at the expense of the district, when certified in writing by the teacher. Yes, and so the county poor house. But they decline your charity, and am glad of it. I honor the Amer ican citizen whose self-respect and pa rental affection will not allow his child to be stigmatized as pauper in the estimation of his companions. The sense of inferiorlty blights the germs of nobility, and dries up the joy of youth at it's source. A child should not be pun ished for it's poverty in a democratic sys- tenn of education. To humiliate scholars at every grade of their progress is poor way to build up manly and womanly character fitted for the responsibility of free citizenship. The example is as hurtful, also, to the children of the rich as to those of the poor. It begets in them arrogance, conceit and an impress sion of superiority, unfavorable to the idea that character is to be measured by intellectual and moral standards, rather than by accidental socIal distinctions. Compulsory education and free text books should stand together in sys tenn of school laws. It effects saving of time. Under the system of individ ual purchases, delay of a week or more is not unusual at the opening of school. This loss of time involves large loss to the child and money. Viewed from this point, weeks delay becomes matter of grave importance. With free text books the work of the school may begin at once. There need not be delay of q single hour. It secures better classifi- cation. Not only is the long delay incl dent to the organization of the classes prevented, but it enables the teacher to make a better classification of his school. The pupil is examined, his qualifications considered, and then suitable books are given. Would like to hear through the Teachers Column, views of the teachers of Apache county upon the above sub ject.

Howard Quick, who died at Ches Townsend's ranch near Lerdo last month was a queer character, who for a period of five years lived among the Cocopah Indians in low CT California and acted as their medicine man for some time, He was unfortunate enough to lose a number of patients and the result was, the Indians determined to try hlm for practicing witchcraft. Mir. Quick took his departure in a hur- " and soon crossed the Colorado. Townsend gave him employ ment and found him to be an in- dustriouS man, but of very sullen and unpleasant manners. Quick frequently spoke of the rich gold lodges he had seen in the Cocopah country, but said the Indians would not allow him to work on them.

A quarrel resulting Tn a shooting occurred in front of the Miners Ex change saloon Friday morning. It appears that certain parties had told a man named Hunter, com monly known as "Tex.," that H. B. Cox had pointed him out to the of ficers as one of the men who had robbed the Chlnamen a few weeks ago. Hunter had got somewhat under the influence of liquor dur ing Thursday night. and meeting Cox in the early morning hour taxed him with having put the off cers on his trail. Cox denied the allegation, but Hunter was not sat isfied and accused Cox of being the auther of the many petty crimes that have taken place in town dur ing the past three weeks. At last becoming enraged Hunter attacked Cox with a large bladed pocket knife, but the latter evaded the at tack and went away. A short time afterwards he came back and went into the saloon, where Hunter was sitting in a chair. After remaining in the saloon about ten minutes. Cox started towards the door and, while in the act of opening it, was sprang upon from behind by Hun ter, with an open knife uplifted in the act of striking. Cox turned in time to ward off the blow and at the same time pulled his gun, with which he had armed himself, and attempted to shoot, but Hunter grasped the muzzle of the gun and held it away from his person and in the struggle the pistol went off,  the bullet passing through the lat ter's clothing and lodged in the front wall of the saloon. Again Cox tried to got the pistol in posi- ton to shoot. and succeeded in per torating the leg of his antagonist, the bullet ranging upward from midway between the knee and hip and ranging backward passed al- most through. Bystanders inter fered and separated the combatants and the wounded man was taken to the hospital, where Dr. Dean ex- tracted the bullet and made the pa tient as comfortable as possible. The doctor pronounces the wound very severe, but with care no seri- ous consequences will result. Cox was taken in charge by Deputy Sheriff Ewing and placed in jail, but later in the day was allowed to go on his own recognizance.-Mo- have Miner.

A Mexican woman living near the o. K. corral, known as Clara Joe, was the victim Of horrible acci- dent on the night of the 14th, which will probably result in her death. She fell asleep, leaving a lamp burning on a stand by her bedside. Tn some manner 1t was thrown on the floor and broken, and before the poor creature was aware of danger the bedding was a mass of flames, and had it not been for the heroism of "Panama," who rushed to her rescue, she would have undoubtedly perished, pr. Wight was immediately summoned and at once alleviated her agony, but found her beyond the hope of re- covery. Much credit is due to Claud Lewis for timely assistance.
