Grinnell. July 3o-Professor Norris,
secretary Of the faculty, received a ca
blegram this morning from Professor
John T. Main, dated at Berlin, Ger
many, in which the information is
given that Professor Main has not yet
accepted the State University call and
probably will not. This was great news I

Very naturally the university is anX
1 ious to secure Professor Main on its
faculty and it is understood that some

5guages have not received the attention
at Iowa City in the past that other coll

Main has bull; up so strong agdepart-

THE COCONINO SUN.

The people In Salt RlVef valley are working industriously to stamp out the stock industry in Northern Arizona, says the Wilcox News, for the reason that stock grazing on the Little Colo rado watershed, whose waters empties into the Big Colorado and miss PhOe- nix by several hundred miles, causes droughts, they say, and iniures their water supply. There is no doubt in their minds that a few cattle and sheep grazing in Northern Arizona part of the territory has caused the present drought which extends all over the west and has destroyed a large portion of the crop in Dakota. Minnesota and Wiscon- sin. If the big hog of Salt river valley would make move to build reservoirs and store one-tenth of the flood water running to waste under its nose, and not try to irrigate a valley seventy miles long and twenty miles wide with the amount of water barely sufficient to irrigate twenty square miles, he would be roofing in the right direction.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Pruden Tried to XIII Himself by Shooting
but Finds He is Bullet Proof

Guerin Pruden, 66 years old, resi-
dent of Hazel street near Collinsville,
attempted suicide Monday. He played
hand against the fates; won, and
incidently demonstrated that he is
bullet proof. He lives to talk over his
action, probably because one of the
weapons he used, was of small cali
bre and the lack of shot in the other
About a. 80 o'clock Mrs. Pruden and
her daughter were startled by the re-
port of gun. Running to the en-
closed stoop in the rear of the house,
Mrs Pruden found her husband stand
shotgun in his hand, while in the other
he held a revolver. There was no
shot in the gun, but the powder
burned his right temple quite badly.
She tried to dissuade Pruden from
committing the act, but he told her to
go away and leave him alone. He
then pointed the revolver at his fore
head and fired two more shots. One
bullet struck over the right eye and
evidently rebounded, as no trace of it
could be found. The other shot took
effect over the left eye, entering
under the skin, but not penetrating
| the skull To their astonishment,
however, Pruden did not fall, but stood
upright while blood flowed from the
wounds. Mrs. Pruden' s daughter be-
came hysterical and to her the mother
turned her attention, after she had
sent for her son-in-law, J.Y. Bonnell.
Pruden was still standing on the
stoop when Bonnell arrived He took
the firearms away from the man and
got him to go in the house. A doctor
den was not dangerously injured.
Mrs Pruden said that her husband
had been sick with rheumatism of the
heart for the past four years and had
often made the threat of committing
suicide. He was always watched, rare
ly being left alone for any length OF
time, lest, while his mind was wander
ing, as was frequently the case, he
would attempt to kill himself The
firearms were hid away and it is not
known how Pruden secured them.
He told his wife several times thai
they were not loaded. He talks of his
act as common affair and says thai
he did no wrong in attempting to xii
himself Physically, Pruden is very
weak and although the wounds art
not serious, it is not likely tina
he will long survive his chronic all
ment.

Although no matches are scheduled
to take place. a large number Of mem
