From the Copper Era.
H. G. Day, the big cattleman OF
Duncan, is in receipt Of a car load
of high grade Hereford bull calves
which will be turned loose on his
range.
|. i. Qualey, president, and F.
S. Weller, treasurer Of the Horse
Shoe mining company, operating
extensively near Stafford, were well
come callers at this Office this
morning. The company which
they represent has ample means.
Their development work is now
being done by air compressor drills
and six feet of ground per day

specting the mines at Morenci and
vicinity, and found the general

The roulette game at the Mid
way was held up Monday morning
about 3 o'clock, by two Mexicans,
one of whom was a boy. When
they made the attempt to bold up
the game Burt Moore grabbed the
boy and the man ran. Burt turn
ed the boy over to Miks Rose,
who held him while Burt examined
the cash drawer. He found the
greenbacks and gold all right, and
Mike, then turned the boy loose.
The boy made break for the
door, and there was a suspicious
jingle of silver about his person.
On examining the rows of silver
dollars stacked up around the
wheel, it was discovered that one
of them had disappeared, and it is
only reasonable to suppose that
they accompanied the boy in his
fight. Billy Hamilton and Lee
Hobbs were sitting in the rear
room of the Midway at the time,
but the robbery was committed SO
quickly, and without a word be-
ing spoken, that they were not
apprised of it until after both
Mexicans made good their escape.
Billy said he heard a shutting of
feet, and supposed that Mike was
doing the stirring act" on some
hobo.

PRESIDENTS POLTROONERY.

President Roosevelt's unwar,
ranted conduct toward General
Miles the head of the us. Army,
in the White House last Saturday
is disgrace to the American Re.
public. General Miles in saying a
few days previously that the re-
port of Admiral Dewey commend
ing Admiral Schley, would receive
the approval of the people of the
entire country, was stating q
simple truth.
For this simple truthful expires
sion from Gen. Miles, Roosevelt
at the reception room of the White
House, last Saturday afternoon in
the presence of more than score
of Senators and Representatives Of
Congress and other distinguished
citizens, acted and spoke as
follows:
Opening the door of the execu.
tive's private room, the president
hurriedly came in. Glancing hast
lily around him, and catching sight
of General Miles, the president
walked up to him rapidly, with
evidences of excitement in his
whole demeanor. Placing himself
squarely before the aged and
whitehaired Lieutenant General
of the army, the youthful terror
and selfstyIed hero waved his
arms energetically and raised his
finger warningly under the nose of
old veteran.

IT WILL NOT PAY.

"In our opinion the law rcduc-
ing the crime of horse and cattle
stealing TO IL misdcme&nor where
the value of the animal does not
exceed $50 is a bad one. Under
its operation Il man could steal
1000 head of cattle, provided he
stole them one at time, and
would only be guilty of misde-
meanor in each case and could not
be sent to the en."-Globe Times.
We do not believe that Bro.
Alley has given this matter very
careful thought. Ne believe the
measure a wise one, one that will
reduce cattle stealing to a mini
mum. In the past about nine
tenths of the cattle thieves have
been acquitted, for ii is very Git;
ticult to find jury willing to find
man guilty on a charge that is
likely to send him to the pen foI
ten years for stealing a s. calf
On the other hand where II Jail
sentence and o fine is the maxi.
mum penalty nine out Of every
ten jurics will return a verdict OF
guilty.
Using the Tines illustration OF
man stealing 1000 head Of cattle
if he were found guilty for each
offense and received the maximum
penalty, he would be considerably
poorer and a very old man by the
time he got through. He would
be fined $500 and sent to jail fo1
six months for each offense. If he
were 20 years old when he com.
mitted the first offense he would
be $40 years old by the time he
got through with his last sentence
allowing no time for him to dc
stealing. And supposing cattle to
be S25 per head, and he realized
that amount on each one, he would
come out looser just s275,000
We trust Bro. Alley will not ad,
wise any one to adopt this plan OF
COW stealing.

LATEs T STYLES IN SUMMER WEAR.
Some Fashion Notes from Paris Telling What is
Being Worn There.

The dominant note of the new fash
ions in respect to light summer dress
es is that the waists are very simple
and the skirts elaborate beyond words
Nearly all the new summer waists
are shaped slightly at the left side,
and the skirts are covered with tuCks,
insertions, plaitings, rufties, stitched
bands, and many hounces.
AS for the new skirts, they are
trimmed with strapped bands, natu-
rally. Is there any place where a
strap might with any sort of sense of
propriety be made TO go that it is not
put these days? The bands are put on
the skirts at regular intervals and
extend from the waist TO the knee
Here at the end CT every pointed strap
fall plaits, so that the effect is that Of
a deep shaped ruffle plated at inter
walls. This IS a charming model for
any sort of summer dress.
Separate lace waists were never
mo e popular than they are this season
The newest seem 10 be entirely Of
guipure, with the whole pattern over
laid with cretonne flowers outlined
with tiny gold thread.
Bolero jackets are quite As popular
as at any time in their long aud trium
phant existance, if not more so. A
juanty model in a lovely foulare is
fitted tightly in the back like the
waists of a dress. In the center sliPp
ed into band, is large steel buckle
put oe over two tabs, each four inches
long.
LOUIS XVI fchus are vs. much in
evidence as ever, and it goes without
saying that lace fchus, baby bows,
tiny knots Ofvelvet, and so on, belong
to summer things. The latter are no.
ticed particularly on linons.-Miss de

GOOD ADVICE TO GIRLS WHO
TRAVEL.

The young girl who is travelling by
herself should seek information from
the train people rather than from her
companions on the train. No girl in
travelling should make conhdants of
strangers of either sex, disclose her
name, her destination or her family
affairs, or make scquaintances on the
road. She may, however, show kind
attention to mother travelling with
little children. amuse a wearied little
one, and politely thank any one who
does her an unobtrGsive kindness
