suspected and a warrant FOR his arrest

after the accused yesterday afternoon
and lodged him in jail last evening
He is like other citizens hereabout. in

MORE TROUBLE FOR ACAL-
! Troubles never come singly. and this
old maxim is just as true with an IN
| dian as anyone else. Acai. native
/ son. whose ancestors have roamed the
| hills of Arizona for many generations
| back, in his early years made the mis-
/ take of stealing n horse. He made the
| further mistake Of getting caught at it
| and subsequently served a term i'm IN
| pen. These early indiscretions seemed
! 10 place him under a cloud Of Suspic-
| ion ever afterward and when another
Indian was found i'm an intoxicated
condition few days ago. his down
fan was traced to Acai. who was held
! to answer to the next United States
grand jury. But even after he was
thus excluded from the public view the
evil deeds he left behind kept coming
to light Yesterday the only way the
officers could relieve their consciences
and satisfy themselves they had done
their full duty. was to drag Acai from
the county Jail to Commissioner John
stones court. where he was again
bound over to the grand jury for sell
ing liquor to Juan, another Indian.
THERE'LL BE MORE ALFALFA
Alfalfa seed. worth cents a pound
month ago. is worth cents now at
the beginning of the planting season.
the highest it has ever been at this
time of the year. though last year in
December it was worth u cents a
pound. 1t Will probably be more
month or six weeks from now. The only
explanation offered regarding the pres
ent high price is that the acreage of al
lalfa in the valley is to be greatly in
creased. Farmers are beginning to be-
lieve that the demand for alfalfa in
the last. two e-ears has not been tenn
porary or accidental and wholly de-
pendent upon the California drouth.
but that the needs of the valley and the
territory within a shipping radius will
be proved to be so with all other farm
products Of the valley. The supply OF
barley has been found to be Inadequate.
\ couple of months ago it could have
been bought at 70 cents. Now it brings

local Spectator, but nobody saw it.
