United States attorney, says the Pres
colt courier or course Hon. l. Il. Stod-

1t was reported that the notorious Sc
par gang intended to visit Bowie We'd
nesday night In anticipation of the
event marshaPs posse was sent from
this city. Arriving in Bowie, the men
composing the party were on the alert
Tor the first sign of visit from the gang.
sometime in the night an engineer fired
pistol in honor of McKinley's election,
1ncoceiveably short space of time, ready
to do battle with the robbers. That
they had misconstrued the pistol shot
was soon apparent. The robbers had
evidently been apprised of the fact that
a warm reception awaited them in Bowie
and they failed to materialize. The posse
returned to Tucson Thursday morning.
The demand that has recently arisen
in Texas for unbranded calves to be
shipped north as feeders and later on
sold as native beef is not likely to affect
our local markets to any appreciable de-
gree. Should the demand extend to
Arizona ranges it would be a problem
for stockmen to determine how they
might benefit by it. While in the great
Texas pastures it may be measurably
safe to leave calves unbranded till five
or six months old, Arizona cattle grow

an additional dollar per head. 1t is

informs the Prospector that last week
one of the heaviest rain and thunder

whole canopy of heaven, revealing most |
and terrifying looking
storm clouds. The storm moved on tow

its fury in Swishelms where many trees

The Star calls attention to the fact |
that the annual meeting of the Arizona |
association will be held in |
Phoenix on the Goth and 21st of this |
month. The Agricultural association
was organized about a year ago and
two meetings of the character of farm
ers' Institutes were held, both of which !
were very successful. 1t is expected !
that the forthcoming meeting will be
even more important than either of
these. The program is varied one; the
papers and addresses to be presented
covering many of the most important
topics connected with the various
branches of agriculture, horticulture,
fruit growing. bee keeping, etc. The ex-
ercises will consist, as heretofore, of pa
pers and addresses followed by a gen.
eral discussion upon the particular topic
presented. AS last year the members of
the experiment station staff of the Uni
