LOST IN 4 STORM.
". A Richardson Freezes to Death in the Verde Valley During
 the Recent Storm

Camp Verde, Dec. 16.-(Editor JOUR NAL-MNER. )-After my letter of tn e 18th was written to youI was called on to summon a coroner's jury to ascertain the cause of death of Billy Richasison, as he was familiarIy known, and as near as the circumstances of the case could be learned, he had left his camp in the Black Hills, where he was doing some mining assessment work, and had started for the ranch of D. J. Marr on Friday or Saturday in the storm. Be coming tired and exhausted he had set down to rest and had become much chilled and had either set down or lain down and died. There was no sign of any struggle. He haG from all appear ances put his hands in his bosom to keep them warm, as he had in his pocket pair of wet buckskin gloves. He had S5I.70 in cash in his pocket, a good sivlver watch and gold or plated locket and chain, and several other lit- tie articles. He was about 40 or 42 years of age and formerly lived in Son. oma county, California and was the foreman for Acker & Walker and after they sold out Smith & Bashford contin- ned to run their stock. He owned an interest in several mines with J L, and }. J. Marr, of Verde Valley I think

CAUGHT AGAIN.
An Elusive Tombstone Prisoner
 Captured.

Readers of the PRosPEcroR will re- call an account recently published of & Mexican named Secundo Loybas who burglarized McDonough's Billiard Par lors stealing a gold watch and consider able money, and who shortly after was arrested at Wilcox but subsequently escaped from the jail there by breaking the jail lcck and making his exit through the roof. Secundo left no traces of his whereaboutts The sheriff who had ar rived the night the prisoner escaped to bring him back, found the bird had flown. A diligent search proved of no avail and it was evident the prisoner allowed no alfalfa crop to grow under hls feet in leaving Wilcox in the distance.
 Sheriff White immediately set about to catch his fugitive and his efforts were rewarded by receiving telegram yes terday from Rincon, New Mexico, that the prisoner WAS arreeted there. The sheriff had not forgotten Secundo and following up hi possible whereabouts succeeded in gaining clue. He sent descriptions to Rineon, instructing the authorities there to be on the lookout. The dispatch explains the rest, and the prisoner is expected to be here tomor- row.
 Another score is thus added to the efficiency of the sheriff's office who are entitled to credit for the effectual results obtained in this and other captures suc- cessfully undertaken.

The Phoenix Enterprise makes the following patriotic suggestion which should be acted upon by the coming leg islature. "The American flag should never be placed where it cannot be rev. erenced with uncovered head. For this same reason the flag should be elimin- ated fro ID tie Australian ballot in Ari- zona, and the Twentieth Legislature should pass measure to that end. The flag belongs to ail and it is an emblem no more loved by one party than anoth- CT. Protect the flag and eliminate its use as the advertising emblem of polit- ical party.

Tie rain season may prove little chilly for stock on the ranges. But it will nevertheless enable them to go off to distant pasture fields and feast on the fot forage grasses which have been un- touched, on account of the distance from permanent water. The compen- sation benefit which comes with the cold rains is more than off set, in the rapid accumulation of beef on the stock.

A NOvnl. SHOT TOWER.

p. A. Christmau, Of Christmau q
BLEEDING, lived In Dubuque, Iowa,
when that city wac the center OF q
bigger lead mining region than
Joplin now 10. One of the flourish
ing institutions of the city was q
shot tower, one of the largest and
best In the country. When the lead
trust formed they bought up the
Dubusque tower and the owners
were bound by contract not to
build or operate another tower at
DUBUQUE, or elsewhere. A few
weeks later the trust was paralyzed
to learn that the Dubuque people
were making shot again and that
there was no way to stop them. But
how could they make shot without
a tower? That's what the trust
wanted to know. The foxy Du-
buquers had simply sought out q
nice, dry shaft of an abandoned
lead mine about $50 feet deep and
fitted II up like shot tower. 1t an
swered the purpose as well az a
tower and was successfully oper-
ated until year or two ago. Some
Joplin genius might work the same
snap here. 1t might raise the price
of lead.-Joplin Herald.
