Chamber of Commerce Notes.

Mr.. r. ]. LANCER, of New Mexico,
who was in the city yesterday on his
way to the Midwinter fair, says the
cattle of his portion of that territory
the Black Range country-are look
ing fine. The specially heavy SHOWS of
last winter followed by copious rains
during the spring and summer gave
the grass a splendid start, which re-
suited in good feed, and the mildness
of this winter, although attended with
rains and light SHOWS frequently, has
not disturbed the cowmen or harmed
the stock.
This. following three years of con-
tinued drouth which nearly killed out
the grass on the mesas and in the
valleys and dried up all the streams
and most of the springs, is very salts
factory intelligence to those having
friends in New Mexico and Arizona
for Mr.. LANCER says the same condi-
tons obtain in a greater or less de-
gree, from northern New Mexico and
Arizona to well down in chihuahua and
Sonora in the Mexican republic.

Levi Axtell was arrested last night
about 10 o'clock upon a warrant issued
out of Commissioner NorreH"s court,
charging him with an assault with
deadly weapon with intent to commit
murder. said to have been committed
upon the person of Watermaster w. J.
Harvey The warrant was served by
Detectives Rhodes and Sheets. Axtell
was held at the police station for some
time in the hopes that he might secure
bonds, the amount having been fixed at
81 900 by the commissioner, but after
the officers had interviewed a number
of persons, at the request of the party
under arrest, without success, he was
given lodgings in the city Jail.
The parties most interested in the
case did not care to make much of
the story public last night, but from
what could be learned by a Herald
reporter, the particulars are about as
follows:
Axtell was until very recently deputy
watermaster for the First precinct and
claims to have been dismissed from
the service without cause by Harvey.
There is also some talk of back pay
withheld Last night about o'clock
after first loading up we'll on liquor,

chin and with the assistance of the
latters son. who. it is said, followed his
father in order to prevent any trouble,
took the gun from the dangerous man.
Axtell was taken home by his son and
a few minutes later a warrant was out
for his arrest.

for a Waterman to close and lock the
gates every night at a certain hour
and open them at a certain hour every
morning. In the course of time the
railing or fence was removed, but the

UTAH WOOL.
Encouraging News Received From
Boston and Other Centers.

News Of an encouraging nature has
lust been received from Boston and the
other eastern trade centers by the
Utah wool men. 1t is to the effect
that all of the Utah wool which was
in the warehouses there has been sold,
EXCEPT several consignments of medium
grade which is not bringing very good
prices just now. There has been con-
siderable increase in prices and the
weeks sales show an increases over
those of the previous week.
No importations of foreign woods
have been reported for nearly a year.
while on the other hand, the United
States has exported over 100000
pounds of pulled wool to the United
kingdom. This would seem to indicate
that the home woolgrowers have
reached that point where they could
even compete with free trade.
