We cali attention to the card Of
Sheriff Wattron in this weeks issue
In a priv3te note; he says the parties
who stole A. IF. Males horses were
seen at Taylor on the % instant, and
again at Heber5 by several persons, and
that he knew nothing Of it until the
night of the Sth. IF he had been ad-
vised earlier, his chances Of capturing
the thieves would have been much bet
ter. AS 1t is, he has started Under
Sheriff Bargman on cold trail and
six or seven days behind the thieves.
In addition to this, he has telegraphed
all points south and southwest to be
on the lookout out for the thieves and
offering a reward, out of his own pock-
ct, for their capture. There is no doubt
but our sheriff is more than willing to
do everything in bis power to stamp
out lawlessness and that he will per-
form bis duty without fear or favor.

Flagstaff was visited by two fires last
Monday night. About 12:Ie p. M, a
fire was discovered in the residence of
Jack Harrington, who lives on the west
side of the road leading to the saw mill.
Before the department could reach the
scene, the fire had gained such head
way, that the only thing to be done was
to prevent its spreading to other build
ings. The furniture was insured and
there was a small insurance on the
building. The people had scarcely got
into bed before another alarm was given
from the Grand Canyon hotel. The
building and contents was entirely de-
stroyed, and the fire boys deserve great
credit for preventing its spread, as it
was surrounded on both sides and in
the rear by wooden buildings. The no.
tel belonged to Babbitt Bros. and was
occupied by Oscar LIE Barron. The fur
niture was insured for $4,000 and the
building for $4,000 The last fire is
supposed to have been the work of an
incendiary, while the origin of the first
is thought to have been accidental.

The Denver Post gives the following
account Of the trials Of bashful man:
Mr.. A. was quite wealthy, handsome,
accomplished and a great beau. All
the youfg ladies and designing mamas
in his set, were using all their arts to
entrap him, without success. His par
ticular chum, friend and confident, was
equally accom- plished, but never went
into society. His timidity, in the pres
ence of ladies was SO great that it was
actually painful Finally it was rumor-
ed in social circles, that the handsome,
dashing, wealthy young Mr. A. was en-
gagged to be married; but to whom it
was impossible to find out The mamas,
who had been figuring to catch him for
a son-in-lew, determined to ascertain
the truth or falsity of the rumor, and
thought his bashful young friend could
give them the desired information-lf
he would. But, as fact the young
man knew nothing. After much ma
neuvering, four Of the ladies dnally
succeeded in oornering the young man
in a room and surrounded him, so that
it was impossible for him to escape.

This has been the most favorable sea-
son for our stockmen they have expe-
rienc5d for number of years. The
calf crop has been the best since 1891.
All things considered, our stockmen
should be more than satisfied with
their prospects. Prices are much bet
ter than for number of years past,
feed on the range is good, stock is in
first-rate condition to pass the winter
with but small loss, and the range is
not overstocked. Those who have held
their cattle during the depression in
prices, can safely took forward to five
or six years of good prices and pros
porous times, as it will take that time
or longer to breed up again.

the other side Mrs. N. in her most in
sinuating manner was importuning him
to tell her the truth. In front was Mrs.
K. and Mrs. 0. coaxing him in their
persuasive tones and bewitching man
ner to give them the desired informa-

young man, with great beads of per-
spiration streaming from his face and
running down each side of his spinal
column, whenever he could get word
IN edgewise, was protesting that he
knew nothing, consequently could tell
nothing. After keeping the young man
on the rack of torture for nearly an
hour, they permitted him to take his
departure But they believed then, and
believe yet, the young man was not tell
ing the truth. The bashful man was
confined to his bed for two weeks after
this trying ordeal.
