The WALKER CASE
To Be Reopened at Florence
Next Week.
Application of the Reputed Indian
Daughter of Walker for Pos
session of the Estate.

On June l6 one OF the most interest
ing CAGES ever tried in Arizonr will be
begun in the probate court of Pinal
county. 1t is a new phase OF the fam
Gus John ID. Walker case and will be
the application of Juana Walker.
the reputed daughter of John d..
Walker, for possession of the immense
estate of that former white chief of the
Pimas. The relation of the girl to
Walker was first fixed by Judge Israel
and Judge Alexander, while waiting in
supreme court during the hearing Of an
appeal by Walkers white wife, from
the decision of the Pinal county district
court giving to his brothers the estate
and declaring that her marriage to him
was invalid.
1t is said that sufficient evidence,
both documentary and other, is OBJ
tainable to establish the relationship of
the applicant to Walker and to prove
his marriage to her mother by tribal
ceremony.
Judge Israel some time ago withdrew
from the case and Messrs. McCabe and
Bethune OF Tempe, and Henley of San
Francisco, were employed. Judge
Kibbey. who 10 now a law partner of
Judge Israel, was retained by the
brothers of Walker. Judge Israel, by
reason OF his former connection with
the case, will be unable to assist his
partner.

How q Midshipmsn's Wit Got Him Out
Of Serious Trouble.

How Mtdshipman's Wit Got Him Out
Of Serious Trouble.
On board of man-of-war bound home
from China was a young midshipman
named Jones, says the Detroit Free
Press. He was favorite with the Of
ficers, and had IN him the talent for the
making of fine officer.
The midshipmen on board stood their
watch forward, and every hour it was
their duty to come aft and write up the
weather columns of the ships log,
showing the readings of the barometer,
thermometer and to heave the chip log
for her speed.
The captain, in company with the Of
icer of the deck, was walking the
weather side of the poop deck convers-
iUg when Midshipman Jones came aft
10 write up the log.
The barometer, mercurial one, was
hung in the captains cabin, and Jones,
after having read it, helped himself lib
orally to the captains sherry on the
cabin sideboard. In walking the poop
the captain happened to glance down
the cabin slSylight and saw the mid
shipman's proceedings.
When Jones came up on the poop to
leave the log the captain addressed him
as follows.
How is the barometer, STRIP
Jones saluted and said Steadily
rising, sir: steadily rising"
The captain then asked: "And how
is the dccanter. STRIP
Jones was taken aback, but with
steady voice replied: Steadily falling,
sir; steadily falling"
This reply was too much for the cap
tain, and, bursting out laughing, he said:
Young man, your reply has saved
you from punishment; but it is long
way to Frisco, SO hereafter | beg of
you not TO consult the decanter as often
as you do the barometer"

Value of Cornstalks,

From one acre of land the farmer
can raise three times the quantity Of
cornstalks for silage that he can
possibly grow of hay. These cornstalk,
when properly preserved, are eve,
more valuable and nutritious, ton tJ,
ton, than the best hay. The best ap
plication that can be made Of all kinds
of manure coming from stables is al
seeding grasses, and it should be put
on before losing any of its chemical
properties. BY doing this you get 8
large piece of clover, which insura
you in the next rotation a profitable
crop OF what you may think profitable
to grow. There is but small amount
OF plant food in dry weeds, stalks Or
coarse litter of any kind; yet IN
majority of cases, everything Of tbs
kind should be plowed under. Whlt
it may not add very materially to the
fertility, it will help to keep the soil
loose and friable, not only making 81
easier to work, but affording better
opportunity for the roots Of the plants
to penetrate il.

A great many people believe Ger
enth son has some occult healip,

that particular ceremony must he %

in his arms places in his tiny hama,
whatever substance she decides he sb,n
rub with in after life, and she is VAR
careful not to let him touch anytbin,

If silver is to be the charm she has ma

Sometimes when the parents arraDpe
that he is to rub his own hair the fatbs,
kneels down before his newborn 81,
and the little fingers are guided to The
head and helped TO close upon lock Of
hair. 1t is essential that whatever sub.
stance a seventh son rubs must be worn
by his parents as long as they live. Not
long ago Dublin shopkeeper, finding
his errand boy very dilatory in bis
duties, made inquiries as to the cause
To his surprise he found that the boy
being aseventh son of a seventh son
was often wanted for his services among
the poorer classes and was consequert

THE FIRST WHITE AMERICAN.
He Was Born in Massachusetts of Nor
wegian Parentave,

lie Was Born in Massachusetts of Nor
wegian Percentage.
1t is historic fact that the first
white child born in America had a Nor
wegian mother. The child's name was
Snorre, son of Thornfield. brother of
Lief Eriksen. and it was born in the
state of Massachusetts in 1908 and taken
back to Iceland when three years old.
A thing showing that Columbus had
the benefit of the Norsemen's l,nowl-
edge is the fact that the Norwegian
woman Goodridge, when she went back
from Iceland, proceeded to Rome and
told the clergy where she had lived in
the new land and how long she had
been away from Iceland. The record
is now in Rome written in the Italian
language. Anyone like Columbus, who
mad the brains and energy to 90 out and
seek the new lands, had the benefit of
the Norwegian woman's story. History
SHOWS that Columbus went TO Rome and
was shown the records. Thus he knew
tnat there was land in the west. He
didnt know what country it was anv
more than the Norsemen did. When
Lief Eriksen discovered the land the
Time was not ripe for emigration from
Europe.

purchased except upon the order of the
mayor and two mem ers OF the council.
John NJ. Gardiner, the beneficiary OF
the Gardiner electric light franchise,
notified the council that he was ready
to furnish the 10 O'Clock lights in COM
pliance with the terms of the fran
chise. The council decided that it
would not accept them before Oct, |,
when Mr.. Gardner would be prepared
to furnish all night lights. Mr.. Gardi-
ner also informed the council that he
was prepared to furnish such arc lights
as might be needed. An informal sug-
gestion was made in favor of the cree.

Out of this money trouble grew the

arrest, trial, conviction and eXecu-
ton. DIR. Webster was professor
of chemistry and mineralOgy at
Harvard. He was born in Boston
in 1898, and graduated from Har-

were made to save the prisoner,

confession, claiming excessive pro-

his sentence. He was hanged in

not do the things it promised to do
we would leave it, but we lied
when we said it. We thought then
we had some manhood about us,
but we amt. We have no indepen-
dence. Thou, o mighty Cleveland,
hast all the manhoodand independ-
ence in the party. We are fools,
liars, lickspittles, mudsills. We have
no business to want anything or
say a nything. Last year we fa-
vOred free silver, and now we have
to oppose it. We favored it then be-
cause we thought it was right. We
oppose it now, most adored mas
ter, because thou tellest us to-.
Amt we a honey of the first water?
Did ever dog serve his master
more faithfully? Did ever a dog
get less for it? Oh, mighty master,
we are ready to serve thee and
party. All the pay we ask is to be
patted on the back by some local
politician and called a good Demo-
crat. We amt got any sense.
We don't want any, only enough to
vote the ticket. 1t don't take any
sense to be a good Democrat.
What a joyful thought! We don't
have to think. We don't have to
worry. Our work is all mapped
out for us. All that is expected, to
do what we are told to do. We
thank thee, oh Cleveland, that we
mao nnn,oa.otc Vyo thaply thoo for
the panic. We thank thee for the
hungry and idle men and women
in the land. We thank thee for
low prices. We thank thee
for the banks that have
busted and the thousands
of business failures since thou
hast come into power. We thank
thee for the hard times. We thank
thee for the rags our children wear.
We thank thee for the clothes our
wife needs and can't get. We
thank thee for what thou has done
for the banker and what thou hast
not done for the people. We thank
thee for all these things because it
is our duty as a good Democrat to
do so. 1t may be against the
grain" but will take our medicine.
We will work our wives to death,
starve our children, sacrifice our
homes, cruelty liberty and kill
prosperity, but will never go back
on our dear old party, and on
thee, our most adOred Cleve-
land. Thou art more &C
count than all of us put togeth-
er. Thou knowest more than the
south and west. Call us fools; spit
in our faces wipe your feet on us
we will love the all thee more. And
now our great political father, we
leave us in thy care. Do with us
as thou will. Kick silver into the
of next century; give more
privileges to the national banks !;
issue more bonds preserve the Nc
Kinley bill establish state banks !;
foster trusts; bride congressman
with patronage fish whenever thou
wilt and hunt snipe whenever thou
carest to, and we will indOrse
everything thou doest, carry Cleve-
land ROSTERS, campaign torches
and forevermore sing thy praise.

The Harvard Professor Who Was
Hung.
Providence Journal.


Providence Journal.
The death of the historian Park
man recalls, by name, one of the
most famous of modern murder
trials-the killing of DIR, Parkman,
of Boston, by Prof. Webster, of
Harvard college, on the 23d of No
vember, 1S49. DR.. George Park
man was an uncle Of the celebrated
historian who has just died, and
his character was a singular mix
ture of penuriousness and philan-
thropy. He gave magnificent en-
tertainments and dressed like a
tramp. He would exact the last
cent due him from a poor tenant
and give away five times the
amount in charity. His murder by
Professor Webster was the act of
man driven to the last extremity
by embarrassment and goaded
to madness by the unyielding
exactions of a wealthy creditor
DR.. Parkman was born in Boston
n 1871, and was a graduate of Har'
ward QSO9), and of the medical de-
partment of the University Of
J Aberdeen, in Scotland, in 1913. He
