K. 5. Dun 6 Co.'S Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for Southern
 California.

The business movement throughout the country is not rushing, but there is steady flow of legitimate trade and greatly improved condition in the tone of the markets.
 The Eastern question, since there is little likelihood of the great powers being involved in a continental war, does not affect the price of wheat.
 Speculation in wool not so great. The Tariff Bill now before the Senate will benefit wool, but 1t is doubtful fl it will benefit it sufficiently to au- thorize prices that have been offered by some spectators. Prices now have tendency to shade lower.
 Export trade is active and com mercial collections reported better.
 The month just closed has brought few chances in the outlook for south ern California The orange and wal nut crops have been well marketed Only about 200 carloads of oranges still remain to be sent forward and 3 strong market may be looked for un- til the close of the season. Prospects are for large crop the coming season judging by the heavy bloom, but with the 1 cent per lb. tariff which now seems assured, satisfactory prices should rule
 Prices of lemons tend upward. The supply of the foreign fruit in port and on the way being much smaller than a year ago at this time.
 It is too early to predict with any certainty upon the deciduous fruit crop, but apricots and peaches are setting we'll. Should the reports of damage to Eastern fruit crop be con- firmed large demand for California green fruit will be created. r The market for dried fruit has not advanced SO decidedly as was expected by dealers early in the season.
 Grain is mostly maturing we'll, but lack of rain and hot wind affected that late sown. The hay crop will be short in some sections for same reason. Unusual activity still continues in Southern California and Arizona throughout a wide field of mineral bearing Territory.
 Business mortalities were lighter in April than in any month for several years, there having been but 8 failures, with liabilities of $4, 300, assets $1 900. In April 1896 there were Is failures, liabilities $75,000, assets $6O0OO.

 FL DORADO CANYON
 Prospecting has been lively all winter. Messrs. Rice, Hill & Co. are putting in a ten-stamp mill on their property. Heretofore the miners in the Fl Dorado canyon have done their trading at the Needles, but the Rice, Hill < Co. gasoline boat seems to have become discouraged trying to navigate the Colorado and is tied up, we are told, permanently, at the Needles, and most of the trading is done by team with Kingman.
 The gasoline boat Aztec, belong ing to the Colorado Navigation company, was disabled while on a trip to Fl Dorado canyon, carrying part of the Rice, Hill & Go. stamp mill. It was in the hands of a new pilot. Captain J. Mellon went up and lowed it down, and it is now undergoing repairs at the Atlantic and Pacific railroad shops at the Needles.

Few persons appreciate the vast harm that may be done by repeat ing to one person a derogatory re- mark made about her to another. To reheGrse kind of Complimentary comment can seldom have an un- fortunate efect-indeed, 1t may do good. But if 8 speech contains even the suggestion of fault finding or disapproval it should never be told. It is a little matter that kindles many fires of angry feeling. It irks one unspeakable to know that his actions have been a0- versely commented upon by third person, and behind his back, when he cannot defend himself.

in the vicinity of Ehren berg much development work is being done. While down at Picacho they have passed the experimental stage and are down to good, solid work.
 From the lower end of the Grand canyon to Yuma the prospector is certainly doing his part toward developing the Colorado river country But the prospector is q poor man and it is uphill business. He wants help from the man who can afford to spend money for de- velopment and he is willing and anxious to have that man come and see him. Not come to some far-away point and listen to stories about mining camp successes and failures, but come right onto the dump and examine things for him. self. For such there is many fortune waiting on the great river.

pened, and at once stated that he sus-
pected Allen. AS soon after arrest as
possible he was taken to WATERFOWL
and lodged in Jail. 1t was feared that
if he was allowed to remain longer in
the village there would be an uprising
among the soldiers that could not be
easily quelled, and it might result in a
lynching.
Allen had enjoyed the greatest re-
spect of the officers and privates Of his
regiment. He was serving his second
term Of enlistment and there were no
black marks against his record. On
the contrary, Crouch, who was consid-
cred a bad character in the neighbOr-
hood, had been denied permission to
enter the grounds of the government
and the soldiers had very little respect
for him. TIC his secluded abode he was
in the habit Of Turing the soldier boys
after pay days with a view Of relieving
them of their surplus funds by means
of the festive game Of draw poker.
When the Crouch place "a searched
gambling evidences were numerous.
And besides We're found an overcoat
covered with blood and two handker-
chiefs red with blood. Crouch denies
all knowledge of the murder and says
he was at home all night long. The
coroner's jury, however, after a thor
Ough examination. was unanimous in
its opinion that Mary DAILY and Mrs.
Crouch came to their death by the
bands Of Wilbur Crouch.
While there is yet some mystery con-
nccted with the case, public opinion
says Crouch is the murderer. Many
think he could not have performed the
terrible deed alone. That he may have
had help is made probable by the fact
that the bullets found in the bodies of
the victims were not all Of the same
size.

been the close friend of President
Spalding, whose bank, the Globe Say

claimed by some depositors hat Miss
Erwin is the prime cause of the wreck
Of the institution.
Spalding and Miss Erwin are said to
have lived at the rate of $50. 900 a year
for several years. He gave her, as far
as known, about $780, 900 in property. Be-
sides this are diamonds, expensive cos
tunes and cash. The property Miss Err
vim has turned over to the receivers of
the bank, but freezes to the jewels and
wardrobe. Spalding used to take Miss
Erwin east on trips with him, and it
was on her account that Mrs. Spalding

Ervin's family were fully cognizant of
the way things were going.

Allen was then unknown to them, it
did look as if Allen was guilty Of a
great crime. But when the facts about

best ticks, yelping like mad, and Tho
fox was hot on his trail. With a final
long-drawn howl the dog reached the
piazza of his masters house and from
that vantage ground sat down to watch
his pursuer. The fox stationed himself
about six or eight feet away, and the
two sat cycling each other for some
time. Finally the door opened and the
dog slipped inside. Then the shed door
was cautiously opened, and by the aid
of the neighbors the fox was driven in
to the shed and is now a captive"

ground that the supply of white pine

attempt and almost successful murder
Of their escort. The story is without
a parallel in Northern New York.
For several months George Allen, a
private in the Ninth United States regi-
ment stationed there had been keeping
company with Miss Mary DAILY, and
they were to have been married when
Aliens term of service was ended. One
of Miss Daly's particular friends was
Mrs. Wilbur Crouch, an estimable lady.
against whom there has not been even
a breath OF suspicion Of any kind. Mrs.
Crouch unfortunately married Wilbur
Crouch several years ago. He abused
her and made life so unpleasant for her
and her two small children that she OBJ
tanned a limited divorce from him in
July, 1895, since which she had fol-
lowed the tailoring business with so
much success that she was able to build
her a coy little home. Ever since the
divorce was granted Crouch annoyed
her in all sorts of ways and ever went
so far as to make threats.
The other evening Allen hired q team
at the livery stable to take Miss Daily,
his intended, and Mrs. Crouch out into
the country several miles to the home
Of Mrs. CrOuch's mother. While they
were there Allen stated that he was
afraid from what he heard that Crouch
was intending to do some of them
harm. Nothing much was thought Of
it, however, and after spending a few
hours pleasantly the party started to
return about u o'clock. This was the
last time Mrs. Crouch and Miss Dalv
were seen alive.
Between 2 and 3 o'clock the next
morning the man in charge of the sta
BILE where the rig belonged was aroused
by the approach Of the team, and was
astonished when he saw that the
horses were without a driver. A little
closer investigation disclosed the fact
that in the bottom of the carriage La
the lifeless remains of Mrs. Crouch and
Miss DAILY, with their clothes torn and
besmeared with blood. The astounded
liveryman sounded the alarm, and in
half an hours time nearly every man
in the village had responded. The doc
tors discovered that the unfortunate
women had been shot in several places
and that they had been dead but a
short time.
About the same time George Allen
crawled into the yard of the barracks
and was discovered by one of the
guards on duty. He had been literally
riddled with bullets, his clothes were
dripping wet from blood and water, vet,
strange to say, he was alive. The sur
geon OF the post was aroused, and to
him Allen told the story as best he
could. This was in effect that Wilbur
Crouch had murdered the women and
tried to murder him. Crouch supposed
he had finished him (Allen) and then
threw him into a creek lear the bar
racks, which the road leading into
town crosses. From this creek Allen
crawled, and, after much effort, reached
the barracks.
When the bodies of Mrs. Crouch and
Miss DAILY were first discovered the vii
lage people at once jumped to the con-
clusion that Allen was the murderer.
