Shortage in receipts for 1s01... 1884
 This shortage in receipts Is account ed for l., part by the short crop in this section, but more particularly by the opening or a new compress at Pen sacola, thereby diverting a large por- ton of the cotton on the L. and N. Railroad South of this point.
 During the past season Montgomery has at all times paid the port prices for cotton. and. often paid as much as 1-Sc. above Savannah or Mobile, thus demonstrating the fact that 1t is to the farmers interest to ship here rather than to the ports. This advantage Is due to Montgomery having several outlets thereby ensuring an equitable freight rate, while the port cities are literally at the mercy of the ship-own- CTS.
 The nrices during the early months of this season, the time when the farm CTS hRv, to sell, were far better than during the same period last year, 3 cents on December 15. 1900. as against 1-2 cents on December 15, 1899, and as most of the farmers took advant- age of the high prices and sold, the bulk of our cotton crop brought more money than any crop in ten years.
 The continuous rains during March. together with the late cold spell, has put the new crop behind, and necessi- tated the replanting of good part of the lands, but the use of fertilizers is larger than in years. and we under stand there is little reduction in acre. age, so we see no reason why with harmonious action among the factors and buyers Montgomery's receipts may not be 200, ,O00 bales the coming season.
 Yours very truly,

Fl cid for Extradition.

Last month Marshal Bayless re. ceived description of one Frank Clark, wanted in Wellington, Kansas, for ssaut with intent to okill. Clark was located on MT. Anderson's $ ranch, four mics north of the city, where he had obtained employment as laborer. He was placed under surveillance and the sheriff at Wellington was wired to the effect that the man he wanted was here. A request was received on Thursday to arrest Clark and he was placed in the "sweat box" in the city jail. He has confessed to the crime and states that he considers cOnvic- tion certain when he is taken back.
 The officer arrived today with the extradiLiOn papers for the prisoner, and he will leave tonight on east bound No. 4
 It seems that the crime of which he is accused was an unwarranted attack with knife with the evident deter m inatiOn to commit murder.

A False Rumor.

J. k. De Rosear caused ripple oi excitement among some of the busi. ness men by showing a letter from the main office of the Postal Telegraph and Cable company stating President Mckinley would surely be in Flagstaff on the 9th inst. MT. Cornish ordered five car loads of beer with a special mug for his excellency while the lead ing hotels ordered several crates and barrels of green apples, seedless oranges and other delicacies suitable for the occasion.
 It proved to be untrue although the letter was authentic. The mistake was undoubtedly due to a misconception with the manager of the New York office is regard to the geographical position of Flagstaff.

A COSTLY BLAZE.
Mr. Buckler and Wife Lose S1l00 In Money and Household
 Furniture.

A log house in mill town occu. pied recently by MT. Buckler and family, who have been ranching outside of the city, caught fire last Tuesday and was consumed together with it's contents, despite the indefa- tigable efforts of the hose company to save it. It was necessary to procure extra hose from the Arizona Lumber and Timber COmpany's mill before d stream of water could be forced on the flames. City Marshal Bayless and J. c. Graham handled the nozzle. The only casualties were Jack Raymond, who was overcome with the heat while acting as volunteer fireman, and Mrs. Buckler, an elderly lady who was burned on the forehead and top of the head.
 Raymond was conveyed to the hospital where he is cOnvalescing. Mrs. Buckler's injuries were dressed and she is at present on the rapid road to recovery.
 Mir. Buckler had packed his house. hold effects preparatory 10 moving to his ranch. The money was in bills and comprised the cash assets of the family and was deposited in the bot tom of Mrs. Buckler's trunk and all efforts to reach it proved unavailing.

Beeler,
Of Apache County, Kills
One Man and Wounds
Another.

News has reached here from st. !
Johns that ex-Sheriff Beeler had
shot and killed Monte Slaughter
and wounded Clare Peary.
The killing took place in Springer
vile on last Saturday afternoon
about 2 O'Clock.
Beeler and Slaughter. have been
at enmity for a long time and when
they met in Springervile Saturday
they engaged in a friendly (?) quar-
rel which no one thought would
have such a bitter ending. But,
Mr.. Slaughter seemed to tire of
quarrelling aud departed saying:
'I'll be back in few minutes and
I'll fix you" Mr. Beeler fixed him
self before Mr.. Slaughter returned
by procuring a shotgun. When
Slaughter came back to Sam SaffelPs
saloon he came in at the door, raised
his Winchester and fired at Beeler
but missed, whereupon Beeler seized
his shotgun and called out to Mr..
Peary, who was standing near the
door, "Get out odt of the way,
Peary, 1 don't want to have to kill
two men," then he fired, and
Slaughter, who was about 10 fire a
second shot, fell dead, aud stray
shot from the charge took effect in
Peary's side, making a painful but
not dangerous wound; although had
it not been for the shot striking his
six-shooter handle there would have
been two dead men.
Mr.. Beeler gave himself up to the
authorities at once aud asked for {
trial. As there was considerable
excitement over the affair at Spring
erville Beeler was escorted to st
Johns where he had hearing
, Wednesday and was placed undo
) $1,000 bends. The second day afte
the killing it was thought that
pitched battle between the friend
: of the two parties was eminent bu
t the danger ceased when Mr.. Beele
[ was taken to St. Johns.
;, The above report was furnished
: by parties coming from st. John
/; and is supposed to be correct.
