A Printers Sad Plight.

Compassion Richard Jones, who has been employed the past week in typo graphical compilation of book of rec pes, has become strangely afflicted. Richards appetite IS ordinarily a very creditable piece of mechanism, but under the "inspiration" of the copy that tells how to make all the tooth some and appetizing edibles known to the culinary world, he has developed an amazing desire to get on the outside of everything cookable.
 His constant desire to eat las become subject of considerable uneasiness amongst his friends, and his gastronom- ic feats would really rival the wonder ful feats of dime museum freak. The local physicians diagnose the case as enlargement of the stomach. The sal ivary glands are abnormally swelled. In other words, poor Richards mouth "waters" every time he comes to new recipe describing the process of mak' ing sponge cake, apple dumplings and plum duff, and he immediately drops his '.stick" and rule and makes raid on the nearest restaurant. If it be true that the way to mans heartis througl his stomach, this unfortunate man ha surely lost his heart. His recovery il doubtful.

Several People Who Started Little
 Postofhces of Their Own

Several People Who Started Little
 Postofices of Their Own
 A fellow couldn't traverse the wind- ing ways of the upper story of the Bab- bitt building lately without becoming enveloped in q heavy, penetrating fog of mystery.
 It was all because couple of raw amateurs took it into their heads to tamper with the property of Uncle Sam at Williams.
 The scene was changed to Flagstaff, and when Richard White, alias Diam ond Dick, began to eke out precarious sustenance by rendering postage stamps in payment of restaurant bills, the sleuthhounds of the law took him in.
 A search warrant revealed $6S worth of stamps in disreputable house. and the inmates were offered free board and lodging at the county jail. They declare they bought the stamps from a half starved, wandering spring poet for the paltry consideration of $l, and John w. Ross will defend them in court.
 Sheriff Cameron captured the alleged hobo at Gallup. His name is John Lyons Another man, R. E. Stevens, was also caught in the sheriff's drag net. He is suspected of complicity.
 Postotfice Inspector George H. Wa. erbury is on the scene, and the United States will have first crack at White and the women.
 Lyons and Stevens, who were arrest ed on territorial warrant charging them with burglary, will have hear ing before Justice Prime at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Several witnesses, in- cluding Postmaster Farnsworth, Dr. w. M. Johnston and Joseph Broyle, have been su9poeuaed from Williams
 United States Attorney Ellinwoot arrived on No. 3 this afternoon and tht case of the United States vs. Texas Lii, Curly Kate ct al. will follow the terri torial hearing.
 The latest sensation to develop il the case are the revelations alleged t. have been made in a package of lov, letters which Mir. Waterbury inter ceptcd at the local postofiice. Tn letters are said to play the whole cas- into the hands of the prosecution. l is said that one of the women Ina "peached."

This Is Cupid's Day.

St. Valentine, mounted upon one- cared burro, came down out of the snow-shrouded mountains early this morning. and after vainly scrutinizing the shop windows for evidence that his day had come round again, he smiled sadly and took the road towards Williams, where love-sick maids and bashful swains employ him as an agent in their love affairs. Proxies are not needed in Flagstaff. Common report says that when Flagstaff girl is in love she usually speaks right out whether it is leap year or not.
 The old custom of venting the spleen against an unpopular character or of playing an alleged joke upon ones friends by sending to them the hideous caricatures that are the product of the massive intellects of cheap cartoonists and cheaper poets. has become stale, and the business was never very prof. itable to the dealer in them.

The Wreck of No. f Was Serious For
 Calhoun.
 The derailment of passenger train No. 4, near Piueveta last Sunday, proved serious to Charles Calhoun. who was riding in front of the baggage car.
 When the tender jumped the rails, the engine. baggage car and mail car followed in quick succession and Cal houn was thrown to the ground with great force. He was picked up and brought to Flagstaff and placed in the county hospital, where he is under the care of Dr.. Brannen.. His arm is broken and he is badly shaken up gen erally. The mail clerk was also con siderably bruised. The cars were not damaged to any great extent
 Calhoun, the injured man, is mill wright by trade, but has of late years been engaged in mining. He had been in the White Hills camp. He claims to have been one of the founders of the town of Tombstone.

A Dorg Fite.

An ill-conditioued, low-bred mongrel from the slums sauntered up into the Bowery the other evening. He was lean and hungry and the whiskers on his feet hadn't been trimmed in long time. He was looking for bone of contention and he found it.
 A blue-blooded bulldog, of the breed so much patronized by the ladies of the deceased Ward McAllisters set, came stepping down the street with a proud and horty demeanor that boded i'll for CUTS not in his class.
 The dogs met. It only required one ''sicKem" to agitate the question of right-"f-way. The orphan dog was game. His yellow fangs more than once buried themselves below the scalp lock of the aristocratic dog, but when the latter got death grip on his left fore-foot he was perfectly willing to velp for mercy. Yet he was game for a dog of uncertain lineage whose early education in the pugilistic line has been sadly neglected. They say there is some wolf m him aud also strain of coyote blood.
 It was the universal opinion of the enormous crowd of spectators that it was the best dog fight seen in Flagstaff in long time. A dog fight draws like anything herH

Mrs. c. A. Greenlaw, who has been visiting here, returned to Challender Friday.
 The members of the local dramat c club are actively rehearsing the pieces selected for their forthcoming enter- tainment, which will unquestionably be the theatrical event of the season.
 The Phoenix Republican" says that J. c. Dobbins, secretary of the driving association, is awaiting answers from Albuquerque, Fl Paso, Flagstaff, Pres colt and Tucson, relative to dates o spring meetings. If possible it will be arranged so that tho string of horses opening at Phoenix will go to Prescott, then east, returning via Tucson.
 The members of the local A. 0. U. w. lodge and number of their friends participated in an enjoyable entertain- mpnt at Babbilt's hall last Thursday night. An attractive program was rendered and Il tempting lunch served. Previous to the exercises, the lodge in- itiated two new members, Conductor Charles Mccormick and Engineer Mar tin Dady, of the A. & P. railroad.
 Commission merchant S. Goodman, in the Gardiner block, is arranging t. handle the wool clip of this valley. Large l,cks of sheep are on their way hero from Flagstaff and that vicinity. Our winters are most favorable for lambing and shearing. Thus far Mr. Goodman has contracted for over half d million pounds of wool, ana there is much more to be reported.--Gazette,
 The Gazette truly says: The north and south road has, it is said, fixed the schedule rates for freight from Phoenix to Flagstaff and other northern points, and if the schedule reported is true, it will not be much of benefit to Salt River valley. For instance, lumber from Flagstaff to Phoenix, SIP per ,000 and hay from Phoenix to Flagstaff $l2 per ton. These rates are exceedingly high, and if not reduced, will prevent the shipment of either lumber or hay.
 The following is extracted from the Tucson "Citizen:" Herbert Brown is in receipt of specimen of Clark's nutcracker, (Picicorvus Coumbianus) from Mir. c. M. Funston, of THE Coco NINo SUN, at Flagstaff. The bird is common throughout the coniferous dis tricts of Northern Arizona, where, To- cally, it is known an Camp Robber" because of it's penchant for boldly ap- propriating anything that is not too hot or too heavy to carry of. The peculiarity, however, in the bird in question lies in two inch wire nail which through some inexplicable cause has been driven through the skin and over the base of the lower mandible. Mir. Funston writes that 'he nail had been there about three months. The bird by the presence of the nail was unquestionably disconnected while il was eating, but not to such degree as to starve it to death, for the reason that although not fat it was in flesh. The party who shot the bird thought it had an extra pair of mandibles and was surprised to find the nail as above stated. The bird is rarely met with in Southern Arizona.

A scheme for Gettiug Ahead Of the
Wary Dollar.


Said a prosaic young man to us on
Tuesday: There's a signing here for
the balmy breezees of the south, where
the sweet scented magnolias, the fra
grant orange blossoms, the O
and the pansy kiss the sunlight with
the heavenly dew, and the morning
glory opens its pearl white lips at the
dawning of the day. That's the kind of
a country We want We're going south
and when you people here are hug
ging the stove, while old Boreas reigns
supreme outside we'll be conversing
with the %''little Alabama pickininy"
who rests under the banana tree and
picks his living with that ease and
leisure known only to the Garden
Eden"
And Of such are pictures hung in the
galleries of the brains of q few in this
section. What the realization will be
is not very hard to tell. The south is
devoid of the enterprise of the north
and while the boomers are sending
wonderful descriptions of that section
we believe it is only a very short time
when the wanderers will return poorer
in purse, but wiser in mind. Along
with the southern boom are several
schemes which are suggestive of 'fat
takes for some one.
Last Monday night there was a meet
ing Of a number of our citizens held in
Hance Murphey's Office to organize q
branch to a huge land scheme origl-
mated by Editor Fitzgerald of the In
%dianapolis Tribune. T%wenty-one joined
the Elk Point branch and planked
down 81 a piece. The members are:
Alex Bovee II. A. Franklin.
Alison BOyee A. n. Burdick
Charles Boyee Benson Woods
j. &. Knapp George Fisher
Emory Morris Isaac Kline
Hance Mnrphey sam Holiday
Tom Wilson Ira Il. Inch
Geo. Haver Ed Weeds
Mrs. j. G. Knapp.
Emory Morris was elected secretary
and Major Wilson as treasurer. The
scheme. briefly told is this: The foun
tain head of the concern at Indianapo-
lis is organizing branch societies with
a view OF getting up a colony for the
south. They wish to dispose of so, 900
shares for $500, 600. With this money
they will pay S25O,0oO. Each share Is
worth $40 and a committee, consisting
of a delegate from each state, will 20
south and select the land either in AL
ALBANIA, Tennessee or Georgia. After
the location is made and the money is
up in the hands of the Grand Exalted
treasurer each man is to get a slice of
the 100. 600 acres. In the center is to
be built a large town divided into lots.
then the nearest land will be divided
into five acre tracts, then nextdivision
is 10, then ID, 20, 60, so, 12O and 100
acres.
This is a very nice scheme-if it pans
OUTPUT so far as we are concerned
Union county is good enough for us,
and We prefer to sink our money in the
best land. and the best county there Is
today under the sun which is no more
less than that land confined by the
boundaries OF Union county, South
Dakota.
