MONTEzUMA'S CASTLE
An Odd Point of Interest Near Camp
 Verde.

Situated half way between Monte- Zuma's well and Camp Verde, in the canyon made by Beaver creek, is Mon tezuma's castle Tradition ascrbes the origin of the cliff dwellings referred to-. to the Aztec deity known as Monte- Zuma. The probability is that the tra- dition is an idle tale. It iG worthy of note that conspicuous prehistoric ruins of dwellings located anywhere in the magic domain of the southwest are as CriOed to MonteZuma He is Q popular character with broad shoulders and easily bears the burden thus thrust upon him, says the Native American.
 The builders of the so-called Monte zuqna castle took advantage of the cx- istenCe of a large cave on the side Of the canyon and proceeded to convert 1t into a dwelling place, inaccessible to their enemies. They walled up the front of the cave with stone and nat ural cement and divided the interior into living apartments. The doors are low, being not over four ard a half feet high. The walls are blackened with the smoke and soot of many camp fires. When the first white men entered the dwelling they found the corn co9s that had been left there by the original in nabitants centuries ago, proclaiming the good cheer that must have existed.

Other relics were found, such as pieces of mating, etc, but nothing to indi- cate the history of the strange people, who seem to have vanished as myste- riously as darkness before the daylight
 White men built and erected the lad ders, each thirty feet long, that are very necessary in order to visit this cliff dwelling. The sides of the canyon are absolutely sheer and would not fur nish footing for a monkey. IL is prob lematic how the cliff dWellers them selves climbed up and down. Thai these primitive people had some notion of the manner in which to defend them selves from the attacks of enemies IS shown by the existence on the top oi the building of terrace or parapet from which they could hurl stones anC missiles on the foes beneath.

 A few other matters were taken up and progress reported. The question of providing a hose house for the Yucatec hose company was presented again by Councilman McNeil. He said that dur ing the last few days it had become necessary to remove the house from the lot on which it has stood so long, so he had it taken across the street on lot the purchase of which is under consid- eration by the council. He also report ed that the owner asked $700 for the lot and the only real objection to it Is that the title is clouded. After some discus sion it was moved and carried that the lot be purchased. and the mayor was authorized to draw a warrant for the amount in favor of the owner when he shall have furnished title satisfactory to the city attorney, and rendered a deed for the property.
 The matter of a janitor for the libra ry was brought up and referred to the committee on public buildings and grounds.

 The matter of the share in the Salt River Valley canal owned by John r.

It was settled by instructions to the city attorney to say to Mir. Dennis that the dividend on the share having | en earned by the share prior to the anenxation of the addition.

VERY OLD CHECK CASHED.
1t Was Drawn Over Twenty Years
Ago, but Was Good for
the Money.

In the year 1879 c. w. Merchant, OF
| this city, was engag ed in buying cattle
all over this part of Texas, says the Gal.
weston (TeX.) News. In those days Fort
Worth was the headquarters for bank.
ing business. and Mr.. Merchant, in COM
mon with all cowmen. had his money
on deposit in one of the banks there.
While in Haskell county that year he
purchased five head of beef cattle from
a Mr.. Mobley and gave his check fol-
$10G. On account of the distance from
Fort Worth and the inconvenent IA
cilities for transacting such matters,
Mr.. Mobley did not present the check
for payment until six months after it's
date. When presented the cashier in.
formed the gentleman that Mr.. Mer-
chant had long since closed his account
with the bank. Nothing further was
ever done to collect the check, until
recently both gentlemen met in the
town of Haskell, just 81 years later,
and began talking of "old times"
Mr.. Mobley suggested to Mr.. Mer.
chant that he held an unpaid check
signed by him and dated 1879, and
wanted to know if it was still worth
100 cents on the dollar. He was in.
formed that it was, and on inquiry as
to how it came into his possession ex
plantations followed and Mr.. Mobley got
his $500.
In speaking of the incident to the
News correspondent Mr.. Merchant said
that in 1879 he purchased something
like 100000 worth of cattle, and most
OF them in small herds, and that, with
a saddle horn" for a memorandum
book, 1t was very easy to lose run of
500 check
