Waters, who was arrested and brought to Globe, had his hearing before Justice Whalley yesterday aud was held to the grand jury without bail. He admitted having shot Hod- die, his grievance being that Hoddie had tried to induce his wife to leave him. Waters has bad record, having served a term at Yuma.

A ARloh Strike at Chloride, Mohave County.
From Our Mineral Belt.l


 The most important discovery of ore made for months in the Chloride dis trict, with the possible exception of the Lucky Boy, was made last Satur- day in crosscut of 50 feet made from the bottom of 200 foot shaft in the Pay Roll mine. At this writing (Monday) the extent of the ore body is not yet known, but those who have seen it say 1t is large and of good grade. They also have an abundance of water and it is expected large concentrator will be erected as soon as little more work is done. The outcrop of the ore chute is 400 feet above the strike and it win probably be stoping ground to the surface The Pay Roll has tun- nel in ore 500 feet long. Colin Tim mons and others are working the Roll under bond. This is the Judge Mur- phy and Judge Hawkins property. The water strike is almost as good as the ore. It takes the pump throbbing away night and day to keep the water down.

Here is the reason depots are general ly so far away from the postofice. When postoffice is more than 80 rods, or 1, 1920 feet from depot, the govern ment pays for carrying the mail to and from the trains. When the distance is under 80 rods the railroad does it. At Concordia, Kansas, for years the dis tance from the postoffice to the Santa Fe depot was recorded l 1921 feet, four feet over the limit, and the gov ernment paid man $l45 year to carry the mails back and forth. Some time, however, 8 man was sent out from St. Louis to measure the distance. He rounded corners and went "across lots" and made the distance 1,3111a feet. Thereupon the railroad com pany was informed to do it's own mail carrying. Now the company has built new platform little father east, so that the train stops g feet farther from the postoffice than before and the government has to deliver the mails again. This is the way great government runs things.

An Old Timer Found Dosd.
From the Tucson Citizen.l


 Charles Haffner, one of the old tim CTS of Southern Arizona, was this morn ing found dead in his room at the Ala meda house. He had been dead som e time.
 Haffner came to Tucson six weeks ago and worked at a number of places in tte city, but his love for drink threw him out wherever he secured temporary employment. He was a German, about fifty-ive years of age and unmarried. In the palmy days of Tom bstone, Haffner ran a saloon and was prosperous. When the camp closed down he drifted about and seemed un- able to gain another foothold. He was known by the old settlers in the town and during his last visit here he received the charity of these old friends.
 The inquest was held this morning and death through natural causes was the verdict of the coroner's jury.

THE Los Angeles Herald, the con stant friend of Arizona, says: Very few people comprehend what rapid and large advances have been made by Arizona during the last ten years. Even the residents of the territory themselves may well be astonished at the showing they are able to make, for it is not until the cumulative facts are presented tbat the. actual condi- ton is realized. The customary, per sistent and righteous campaign for statehood which is being waged by the people of Arizona this winter has served to bring out some remarkable statistics. The taxable property of the territory has increased 267 per cent during the last ten years. Last year the total valuation of Arizona property increased 1,150,00O over tue year before; to-day it is estimated to oe 3l, ,50o,OO0.

PEACE IN ToNTo BASIN.
Report 0fwar Between ssookmen Fake.
From the Globe Silver Belt.l


 From the Globe Silver Beit.l
 The monumental liars are not all en- gagged in reporting the progress of the Yaqui war. There are others, and one of them tt least is located at Phoenix, judging from the sensational report of an alleged conflict between the cattle owners of Tonto basin and owners of predatory herds of sheep. The Asso- ciated Press has been used to give wide publicity to the story of impend- ing bloodshed, in which there is not Q scintilla of truth.
 The facts are that J. D. Houck, who is holding several thousand head of sheep on Tonto, denuding the range, was approached by some twenty cattle men who requested him to confne his sheep to the west side of Tonto creek, and Mir. Houck agreed to comply with their wishes. Some cattlemen riding after their stock scattered few ot the sheep, but no material damage resulted therefrom.
 Mir. Houck, having refused to pay taxes on the sheep, Deputy Sheriff Voris last week levied on 2l6 head ant drove them to Globe. They will b' sold to satisfy the taxes next Satur day afternoon at o'clock.
 And that is all there Is in it.

Serious Accident.
From the Mesa Free Press.l

lfrom the Mesa Free Press.I
 Last Wednesday morning Mir. Ed. Laing was drilling on the artesian we'll for Dr.. Chandler just six miles south of town. They had been having a rough time of it with boulders, and progress was slow. Something broke in the derrick and the heavy walking beam came tumbling down to the ground. It fell close to MT. Laing's head, in fact it scratched it, and caught his right arm on the top of the block which rests on the casing. The arm was cut almost entirely off, hanging only by few shreos. Oscar Felton was standing close to the wounded man, and with others assisted to staunch the great flow of blood. Medical aid was summoned and Mir. Laing was brought to the Kimball House, where Drs. Lee, Sabin and Brack amputated the arm above the elbow. The patient stood the trying ordeal we'll, and exhibited great pluck and nerve. He is doing as well as could be expected, but is suffering considerable pain.

A Puzzle Piotare-who Is the Lawyer;
From the gournal-Miner.l


 The public is watching with con- siderable interest to see what the out come will be of the young attorney who was arrested with Winchester and shot gun on the plaza, moving against the enemy on the west side of the plaza. He was arrested and at first put up $200 cash bail. This was drawn down and bond given for his appearence February 26. He failed to appear on that date and on motion of the district attorney the case was con tinued. Three weeks have elapsed since the arrest and there are those who are uncharita ble enough to assert that less distinguished person would have had his trial long since. The dis trict attorney has been very busy since, and this may account for the delay in bringing this case to trial, although it was given out that it would be tried last Saturday, when the defendaut was in town. Before being arrested the man had fired two shots from his shot gun.
