THE DAT KING
A Crop Which ThriVeS We'll In This
 Valley.

Col Jefferson Boles of Mesa was in town Saturday With load of wheat. The colonel hos been renting this season in the Fowler neighborhood ard has had unusual success He was in the best of hurnor when The Re publicanis agricultural reporter hailed bim and asked for the news from the alfalfa country.
 Go to- exclaimed the jolly granger ''I am no alfalfa man. Call me the oat king Of the vest
 Indeed and how did you get that titiei?'' asked the scribe
 Well, it was this way,' said the colonel with a smile. Last fall I went down west of town and rented 100 acres of land of Fowler Bros. Fifty acres I planted to cats and the bal ance to whe3t. And how that oat patch did growI Why, actually, you could just see it jump. It grew 50 tall that after it h3adad out the irrigators would often get lost in it.
 q remember one unlikely locking fellow who took a shovel one day and went out to take care of a head of water. He got lost iri the oat patch and I have neye:' seen him or the shovel since That was a wonderful crop of cats I had to cut it twice to get it down, ard then rake it three times to set it all on the stack.
 q measured the stacks the other day and there was more than 150 tons of the finest cat hay you ever saw. And that fifty acres Of wheat did some thing, too. This load makes an even thousand sacks that I have shipped to town and I have my sead. left. The soil down that way is all right.
 Better quit the town and go raEcA- ing and make some money.'
 At this point a boy rode up on wheel and Col. Roles turned and spoke to him. Then he clucked to his four big fat mules and the heavily IGdan Wlzgon began to move towards the mills, from wherce its cargo will go out in the form of snowy four to feed 3 thousand hungry miners.

PISCHTORIAL INQUIRY
He Had Been Reading About fhe
 Local Catfish Controversy.

A letter of inquiry was received at the postof1ce on Saturday from M- H. Poyner of Leroy, H. It was turned over to Thomas D. Dalton. MT. Poy- mer writes that he has been engaged for several years in the business Of house moving ard digging wells. For several reasons Mir. Poyner wants to make a change In the first place he is about out of business. The houses in his part of Illinois appear to be per manentIy settled, or at any rate they are settled for a iong time 10 come. The surface of the country about La roy has been perforated with wells un- til it looks like the top of pepper box Besides MT. POyner says, he has lately been filled with aspirations for some thing nobier than moving houses and digging wells. His wife is having in 5capiemlt pulmonary trouble and one Of his children is sinking nto declne, So that a change of residence is de- ssin3bIe MT. Poyner writes that he has been casting about fer some place to go and something to Go. Ills at 1iant:on was directed to the Salt River valley as a health resort and about the same time he harmed through the newspapers that the Salt and Gila Tiverts were teeming with catfish which were readily sold fer . dollar apiece regardless of size. He wants to know If thts information $ correct: if fish are caught here in commercial quantities and if the market is as in satiable as it has been represented to be.

MAY INDICr TANINpANY MEN.
That CrokerS Adherents Are Violating
 Corrupt Practices Act.

New York, Ju.y 2.-District Attorney Asa Bird Gardner, the grand jury, and if necessary. Governor Roosevelt, will be asked to interfere in the fight now going on in Tanlmany Hall between the supporters of Richard CrOker and John'C. Sheehan. It is the intention of Mir Sheehan and his friends to ask the grand jury to find indictments against several men high in Tammany coun- cils. on the ground that they have vio- lated the corrupt practices act by in tinidatirg and threatening Tammany Officehoiders.
 The fight between the Croker and Sheehan forces has become so bitter. it was learned today, that the legal machinery of the country may he in voked to see that both sides have fair play. It is openly asserted by MT. Sheehan's friends that they are being threatened with removal from office unless they join in the effort to depose him as Tammany leader in the ninth assembly district The same methods, it is added, are being resorted to by the Croker men in other districts where the fight is on.
 Under the corrupt practices act as 1t now stands it is a crime to attempt to dictate the action of voter in a primary election by using influence either for or against that voter with those who control the city depart ments. AIr Sheehan's friends declare that this is being done so openly. how ever, that they feel compelled to in- yoke the prosecuting power of the country to interfere If Colonel Gard her. as district attorney, refuses or fails to prosecute the complaints that VIII be made against Tamnrany office hot tlers and leaders, it is asserted posi- lively that Governor Roosevelt will be asked to remove the district attorney for neglect of duty.
 The friends of MT Sheehan are ac- lively engaged in the work of obtaining documentary evidence against Tam many leaders and OfficehOlders. It is their purpose to prepare for the grand jaly's consideration afitdavits of many persons. who declare they we're order ed to join in the fight against Mr. Shae- hans friends under penalty of being dismissed from the public service if they failed to do so.

It has been q theory of years ill Phoenix that one can get q bath, q shave or a hair cut at Louie Files place amy hour of the day or night on amy day of the year This arrange anent is kept up only for the accommo- ttaticn of MT.

TWO MILAN RUMORS.
Said to Have Resigned as President of
 the Gas Company.

Washington, July 2.-According to the information which :s current in some local financial circles. MT. John R. Mclean at the last meeting of the board of directors Of the Capital Trac- ton street railroad resigned as mem- Der of that body. No special reason IS ss.gned for such a step. and piarhaps in itself it may be looked upon as a matter Of small consequence, at least to those outside of the active manage ment of the company. In addition. however, ths1e is\a vague rumcr that MT. Mclean has also severed CT is about to sever hiS c0nl-i5tiCl With the gas company, of which he IS the pres ;daat

When arrested Lang seemed very feeble, totterlng as hI-l walked and answering questions in a vague and incoharent way. He will be arTGLgne1 tomorrow.
