A Joke that Didn't Joke.
A few nights ago, as the usual
crowd gathered at headquarters ].
H. Bly's-for an evenings chat friend
John Darby was among the number.
He was telling the boys what fine
Thanksgiving dinner he was going to
have, turkey stuffed with oysters,
celery etc. and other delicacies of the
season. The way Darby laid out the;
plans and details for his coming:
feast one would have thought that he
expected convention of governors,
kings and princes at his house about
that time. 10. Loveless, sitting on a.
barrel, gave All. Bloom wink as
much as to "a u lay for tlssal1
fowls as linked the other eye
the two started out, passed Darby,
who was close onto them; flying boot
heels up the dark alley was evidence
enough that the boys were hot on the
trail of the fat turkeys John had been
telling !, about. Those who saw the
boys go say their. legs went around
like a wheel with one spoke in.
When they arrival at the barn AL.
stood guard outside while Jo. went
in, struck IA match, but mary" bird
did he find except venerable old
rooster that looked as though he was
the sole survivor of the hard winter
of ~. 10. wanted to take him along
and send him as a delegate to the
old settlers reunion, but Al. de-
INJURED on the grounds that it would
be- cruel to take him away from his
great grand children's great grand
children who were too old and feeble
to scratch for themselves. About
this time Darby hove in sight, and
the boys concluded to depart. John
thought the boys would be back
again to make further search of the
premises SO went back down town
and bought two fine large birds and
hung them in the barn and at the
same time notified Policeman Bob
Free that he feared someone would
be after his turkeys that night and
to keep an eye peeled for the gang.
John stationed himself, with a huge
blunderbuss, within easy range of his
coop and awaited Developments
There he sat all night, until break
fast was ready and getting cold. In
the meantime 10. and AL. had gone
home and we're wrapped in the arms
of old Morpheus. John got even by
sleeping next day and missing his |
Thanksgiving dinner.
An exchange wisely remarks:
'sThere are always persons who ap-
pear to be 'soured' on everything per
tanning to home affairs. They prefer
to patronize foreign to home en-
terprise. They do not like to patron
ize home merchants, home tailors,
home milliners, home dressmakers,
home papers, home mechanics, or
home anybody. They appear to be
to their houshold enemies
to those upon whom they are depen-
dent for their very bread and butter.
This isa species of insanity, for any
man will know that it is to his inter
est to give support and encourage
ment to his immediate neighborhood,
whose success will at least improve
his chances for getting along nicely"

The Mexican population were much worked up, last evening, over the killing of the woman Bohemia, whom it IS alleged had her throat cut by Parsons while she slept in a tent. The sheriff's office was .noti- fled that an attempt would be made to take Parsons as he came in on the Jerome stage and kill him. Under Sheriff Cartier immediately sent out a man with an extra horse, to intercept the stage at the head of Yaeger canyon, at which point the prisoner will be put on a horse and taken across to meet the incoming train, on which he will arrive.- Prescott Courier.

Monday evening there was an altercation at Ward & Courtney's rock camp, about two miles below Fairbank on the new grade of the Arizona & Southeastern railroad, between Dick Grimes ,and Mexican laborer, whose name was not learn ed, From the information gleaned from those who came down from the camp it is stated that the Mex ican savagely assailed Grimes with q knife, and the latter shot him dead. Grimes immediately made for Tombstone to deliver himself to the authorities. The compan- ions of the killed man seemed ugly about the matter, and for a time there was fear they would seek vengeance on tue Americans in the camp. As there are some 200 men there, about equally divided, an outbreak of hostilities would have been attendant with fatal re- suits. to very many on both sides. Oasis,

TIE most important and com plete system of reservoirs for stor age of water, for irrigation purpo ses, is now in progress of construc tion at Springerville in the south eastern portion of Apache County under the supervision of the West Side Reservoir and Ditch Company
 Nature has contributed largely to assist our enterprising citizens in their work by providing a large ba- sin lying immediately southwest of Gus Becker's lake, on the mesa, about three miles west of Spring erville. This basin, or natural res- ervoir is about three miles long and will average half mile in width, and by means of dams now in pro- cess of construction, three-quarters of mile apart in this basin, four large reservoirs, one above the oth- CT, are secured which will, when filled with water, not only settle the question of water supply for irrl- gatlon purposes in the greater DOT ton of the valley proper, of the Little Colorado at Springerville, but will be of great benefit to the farm ing community between St. Johns and Sprirgerville, as a large per centage of the water used there for irrigation will naturally find its way back into the chanel of the river and to the farmers below Springer vile.
 The water supply for this system of reservoirs will be taken from the Little Colorado River when there is surplus of water goingt to waste each year. The supply ditch for this water storage system will be about two and a half miles long and will be taken out of the river about five miles southwest of Springerville.
 The proper steps have been ta- ken by the West Side Reservoir and Ditch Company to have their res ervoir site and ditch set apart from the public domain for irrigation purposes. We wish this Company and all enterprises of this nature every success in the world, as they help wonderfully to develop the re- sources of the country.
