The LOADED" Melon.

A number Of young men wen
out duck hunting last Sunday
After tramping about 'steen miles
and killing one bell-driver, one OF
them returned home alone, cover.
ed with mud from head to foot
and hungry enough to eat bunch
of jack-knives. When about a
mile from home. he came upon a
fine water melon patch. At first
he was going to be contented with
a small one near the edge Of the
patch, but just as he was going to
pluck it. he espied the biggest
melon he had ever seen, in the
center of the patch, the most con-
spicious object in the field, in fact
it looked like it had climbed on
top of some vines on purpose to
be in plain sight for his especial
benefit. He knew Providence was
on his side, for had it not caused
that melon to be there for him.
After looking cautiously around
him, he made a break for that
melon and got it. In the shade of
some nearby trees, he devoured
the whole of it. After resting a
short time he started home. The |
owner, from the other side of q
,lumD of bushes. saw the hunter
urn handspring and then
yell, which he kept up until he
rot home, then his folks got him
o bed and kept bran poultices on
lis stomach all night. AT first the
'oung hunter thought he had over
oaded his stomach, but on reflect
ng on the position that particular
lelon had occupied in the patch,
@ wonders now if it was not
loaded"

a Wet Boatride.

A few days ago Hall Hanlon
and Mrs. J. II. Maxey had an ex-
pericnce in the sluggish old Colo
RADIO river that they do not care to
have duplicated. They were re
turning from Yuma to the Hanlon
ranch, eight miles below town, in
a small row boat, and when about
half the journey had been complet-
ed the frail craft capsized in some
unaccountable manner and the oc-
cupants were compelled to hold
onto the inverted boat as best they
could for more than an hour.
When assistance arrived the vic
tins of the accident were almost
exhausted and could not have held
on much longer. Mr.. Hanlon lost
a $500 check and about 500 worth
of merchandise that was in the
boat Yuma Sun.

MUDDLED AGAIN.

common with other .Republlcan
newspapers, was unjustly CRITICS
ing the last Legislature. We
showed clearly that its criticism
was unjust and its reply proved
our position to be correct 1t
lodged the issue completely and
contented itself with making mis-.
tatements, through ignorance how
ever, concerning the salary drawn
by the editor Of the Guardian as
chief clerk. 1t says that it has
criticised Democrats before and
will do so again. This is true but
it studiously avoids criticising
Republicans, which is natural to
Republican sheets.
When it says that the last Leg
islature will not be beauty spot
on the pages of the future history
of Arizona and that it was ex-
travagant and reckless in spending
the peoples money, it makes a
statement on which it will be com
PEELED to remain silent when call.
ed down, as it did on its "fagrant
discrepancy" charge.
Any paper has a right, in fact
it is its duty, to criticise public
acts of public servants when criti-
cism is deserved. But it has not
the right to make charges it can
not maintain. This the Bulletin
did in its "fagrant discrepancy
article. A short time ago it said
1--WE believe the courts of the terri
tory during the past four years
have been more satisfactory than
ever before" yet two weeks ago
it insinuated that the Judges would
"get together" and ignore the law
by agreement. Judge Doan follow
ed the law and Is men constitute
the present grand jury.
The Bulletin chrages that the
Legislature paid us S270 as "over-
time wad" to defend it, and that
our regular salary was S5 per day.
OF course these statements were
made through ignorance. Bro.
Kelly figured out that the pay OF
seargant.at-arms was So per day and
thought the salary of all attaches
was the same. 1t is said he was
slated for this position by one
Legislature but for some queer
cause the slate was broken. No
wonder he don't like Legislatures!
For Bro. Kelly's future benefit
we will tell him just what pay we
received, unanimously voted to us
by SO of the representative men OF
the Territory. We received just
$3.50 more than former chief clerks,
for reading the proof of the new
code, which was all done at night.
Then our salary was ST per day
instead of S5, paid by the U. S.
government.
Now, Bro. Kelly our advice to
you is this: Criticise where criti-
cism is deserved and always be
sure that you can maintain your
ground before beginning. Don't
criticise Democrats because you
are Republican. Criticise on the
merits of the case or remain silent.
If.you tried real hard you might
criticise some Of the Republican
officials you assisted to elect last
fall.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER IL 1901
STAFFORD INCORPORATED.

On Tuesday last petition
praying for the incorporation
of Stafford, was presented to the
load of Supervisors and the petit
C. on was promptly granted and
e.. d. Tuttle, Geo. A. Olney, IL. M
Jeter, George Jacobson and D. W.
Wickershsm were appointed as
the city council.
This gives to the people OF
Stafford that for which they have
been working for some time past
and while the limits do not en-
brace as much territory as most
people would like they are sui
fciently extensive so that a first
class city government can be
maintained.
1t is the duty of the council
within 20 days of their appoint
ment, to meet and organize by
electing one of their number
mayor and appointing another
ocffiers.
No better selection could have
been made for city council than
those gentlemen named by the
Board. They are all competent
conservative and successful busi
ness men who will organize city
government and pass ordinances
that will be of great assistance in
the material advancement OF
Stafford.
While we do not wish to at
tempt any dictation or Interference
with the powers of the council,
vet we feel Inclined to recommend
the selection of +. d. Tuttle as the
first mayor of Stafford, for the
reason that he is tho roughly com
petent, has had wide executive
experience and also is familiar
with the needs of the town. Be-
sides this he is one of the Oldest
residents of the town and is a
largo property owner.

Arizona has a single forest OF
pine that covers more than 5000
square miles; this forest has yet to
be touched. In the eighteen years
from 1888 to 1900, the copper pro
duction was more than one billion
pounds, worth about $l40, 100000.
Arizona is large enough to hold
within her borders the states of
New York, Connecticut, Delaware,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Rhode Island, Ver'

would be enough vacant space to

President Kruger Denounces General
K~itchener's Latest Proclamation.
SAYS IT lNTENSIFIES RESISTANCE

ConsuI-General Stowe Say the sonth
African Problem Undoubtedly is Df-
fcult and Complicated - Kruger Calls
British Proclamation "tbe Blacklist
Crime Committed Against the Boers.'
Jondon-The Daily Telegraph pub
lishns A long interview with Mr.. kru-
ger ut HiIversum in regard to General
K~itchener's latest proclamation. The
correspondent says:
"Mr. Kruger. who seemed greatly
improved in health, spoke vehement
ly and with intense feeling, rejecting
the idea that anything had been
changed except the attitude of the
British Government. lie insisted that
the tactics of the Beers were still as
regular ds ut the beginning of the
war.
"He declared that ever since the
coptrre of Bloemf0ntein the BRUSH
had trampled upon the code OF inter-
national law. AS for the provision
transports and cattle the British are
continually Selling, Mr.. Kruger sald
these were intended not for the Boer
commanders, which lived from hand
TO mouth, but for the women and chill
dren.
"He commended that General Kitch-
arer's proclamation itself recognized
that the Beers had Il regular admins
tration and an army. The proclama-
tion could have but one effect-to EN-
bitter and Intensity resistance.
Having characterized the procla-
nation as the blacklist crime com-
mitted against the Beers Mr.. kru-
ger closed the interview by solemnly
calling Heaven to witness that the
story of a Dutch conspiracy against
the British was AN abominable lie,
the most mischievous and diabolical
lie ever coined since man first ap-
reared in the world
"He said, however. that peace was
still possible on the basis of give and
take, and that the Beers were ready
10 make reasonable sacrifices and to
give satisfactory guarantees on the
basis of independence and free pardon
to colonial Afrikanders."
James G.. Stowe, the United States
Consul-General in Cape Town, has
arrived from South Africa. Mr..
Stowe said:
81 find myself marooned in London
Apparently every berth on steamers
bound for America is taken till the
end of September. and l am anxious
to get home, where I can do away
with official cares and talk as n priv
ate citizen. You know more in Lon
don about the military conditions of
South Africa than it is possible for
any one to know in Cape Town.
1.-THE South African problem Is I'M
doubtedly difficult and complicated.
The topography of the country and
the mobility of the Beers, whom the
English columns are unable to pursue
individually. make operations most
difficult. The British are feeding
many prisoners and are providing for
thousands Of Boer families, all of
which is very nice on the part of
England. But in the meanwhile the
war drags on. There is a great flu
ture for South Africa when peace is
made. The surface mineral wealth
is scarcely scratched. Undoubtedly
England is prepared to solve the
problem of reunlfication; but when
that will occur certainly no person
at the Cape is able to say" .

HUNDREDS OF HOMES DAMAGED

Fierce Rain and Wind Storm wrought
Destruction of Property ovnr n wide
Area - In Jersey City 1t Damaged
Scores of Buildings, and Almost De-
moiished Two Parks-Few Casualties.
Jersey City, N. Jersey City was
visited by the most destructive storm
in its history. Churches, n theatre,
the parks and hundreds of private
residences were damaged. st. Mary's
Roman Catholic Church, at Second
and Erie streets, one of the largest
in the city, was nearly ruined. Near
ly all of the trees in Van Worst Park
were uprooted, and the few that were
left standing We're stripped of their
branches.
The rain was falling fast when two
wind storms met in the neighborhood
of Newark avenu and Barrow street.
A cyclone resulted. Never before was
there such a force of wind in Jersey
City. Horses standing in Newark ave
nue., between Barrow and Erie streets,
NhN Nv hHSPtlb W MIL my hCAN
hitched, were blown over. Telegraph
poles and wires fell.
A moment or two later the steeple
of st. Mary's Church fell backward
upon the church. striking the roof at
its apex at the middle of the church.
Piles of the brick crashed through the
roof and down upon the pews. The
tin roof was uplifted and fragments
of ii fell in the street.
AS in all tornadoes, its path was
from southwest to northeast, and its
effects were felt at Least as far as
Hoboken. Across the Greenyille sec
ton of Jersey City from Newark Bay
TO New York Bay a tract of land
about five miles in length and about
a quarter of a mile in width was al
most entirely devastated.
Hamilton Park was visited MS was
Van Worst Park, thirty trees being
Frustrated there.
Telephone, telegraph. fire and pol 70,
and trolley wires were prostrated
along the course of the storm.
Lightning caused the premature eX-
plosion of several blasts of dynamite
at Kingsland, killing one man and in
juring four others severely.
