 House burglars have again made q raid. This time the McNeil family wa the sufferers. Last Monday night while the members were out calling, tho house was broken into and ransacked and thrown into disorder. Two watches and some money was carried off. One of the watches belonged to Mrs. Fred White, a sister of James McNeil and was family heirloom It's recovery is greatly desired. It was size six, hunting case and Seth ThomN works. The number on the case is 197, 307 and the number of the works is 122, ,056. The burglary was evidently committed by the same parties who broke into the Walsworth home a few days ago. They left the same disorder in the furniture and wardrobe and en- tered the house the same time of day, | under the same circumstances. This | time no door was left unlocked but 1 the back door was pried open with an axe.
 MESA.
 The Chandler dredge is within thre7 ! miles of the division gates which are | it's destination. Although there is but | a mile more to go it will take until | the first of June to cover the distance, More than half that distance an en- tirely new canal will be constructed | through gravel and cement. This will be done to do away with big bend the | old canal makes. The dredge is direct ly above Lehi and looms up against | the sky like monstrOus internal ma chine. It is somewhat thrilling to one of mechanical or imaginative turn of mind to stand on it's deck and look off down to the river seyenty-fve or one hundred feet below and con- slider that the inanimate thing in it's slow and tOrtuOus way dug it's own channel, climbed to it's present eleEa- tion and foated down stream all the way in doing it.
 dead body of a man was brought into Mesa yesterday morning from the desert. Its existence and location was made known to the coronor yesterday by two Mexican boys, who say they discovered it Sunday. The reason the boys offer for not giving the informa- tiOn before, was fear of parental reinstatement for disobedience. They were sent out by their father to learn the location of some horses. The lOca- tion of the horses was so distant rom each other that the boys knew that t0 reveal their discovery would also in- form their father that they had not looked for the horses. Their father reported to the officers as soon as he was aware of the fact It could not ba told whether the unfortunate was an American or a Mexican the flesh was so dried and Drowned. The body had evidently lain for some time exposed. Fl. c. Rodgers of Lehi was in town on business yesterday afternoon.
 The Mesa people are patriotic. All business was suspended yesterday afternoon and some of the business men started out to make it hot for the poor little cotton-tail.
