LION HUNTER LOST.
John McCarthy, While on a Hunting Trip in the Mogollon Mountains, Disap- peared on June ', and Parties Have Searched for Him In Vain

pRRscoTF, A. T., June l5.-J. k. Day, q professional hunter, arrived in town to day from Clear creek, in the Mogollon mountains, in the eastern part of this county, and reported that his partner, John Mccarthy, had been missing since June7.
 Both are experienced hunters and mountaineers and had received an or der from eastern parties for specimens of Arizona wild pigeons and four dozen tassel-eared or fur squirrels, an ami Iaal found only in the Mogollon range of mountains. They were accompanied by two other persons, and on the morn ing of June :, while Day was in Flag staff purchasing supplies, Mccarthy left togo to Poverty Flat. distance of about eight miles, to shoot some pig cons, since which time nothing has been heard of him.
 His failure to return the first evening did not cause any special alarm, but on the second day his companions start ed in search of him. His tracks were found in Poverty Flat and followed in- to the mountains, where they were lost in pine burrs. He was. going to- ward Bakers butte. Two days later party of nine cowboys joined in the  search, and later another party of COW boys from the Verde valley joined them. Up to the time Day left, Jnne l3, no trace of him could be found. Mccarthy is deputy United States marshal and has been fish and game commissioner of the territory for the past four years.
 He was an experienced hunter and knew every foot of the ground in the vicinity of where he was last seen, so that there was no possibility of his getting lost, and the generally accept ed theory is that be ran across bear and having DO weapon but shotgun was wosrted hi the encounter, or that he ventured too near some cliff of tue mountain and fall off. His wife lives at Dudleyville, 4. T.

Ihe Passina of Tom Burns.

Tom Burns, who became notorious on the San Pedro in more ways than one, was shot and killed on Friday of last week near Dudleyville, by Tex as cowboy named Miller Wallace, quiet and inoffensive young man. Burns had abused Wallace and threat ened to kill him, and the result was what might have been expected.
 The coroner's jury at once exonerat- ed Wallace
 The Tucson Citizen says: Burns came here fifteen years ago and has been working on the ranges of late years. For time he was employed as We'll Fargo's shotgun messenger, and it is said that he has thirteen notch- es upon his six-shooter which record the end of so many lives at his hand. He was member of the force which pursued and captured the Southern Pacific train robbers, Sontag and Ev- ans, who held up the train at Fresno, California, about seven years ago. h the capture Sontag's eye was shot out and the robber died from the wound. Burns claims to have fired this shot. In the division of the reward money Burns and man named Wittig quar- reled. Both men opened fire at the same time. Each thinking that he had killed the other made good his escape from the pursuing officers.
 Burns has been in many gun scraps in Arizona, and seemed to like to be i known as gun-ighter.

II Is Small Enterprises that Build
Up Town.

Up Town.
Some days ago some gentleman
came to our city with view OF
putting ur an iron foundry, pro-
vided they could procure site at
a reasonable price.
Mey picked out a location and
approached one of the gentlemen
owning part of the property they
wished. and his prices were per-
fectly satisfactory. But they need
ed more land than this gentleman
owned, and when they approached
the owners of other property lay
ing along side, the price put upon
it, so it is reported, was so high
that they could not afford to
buy it.
They sought out another location
and there they met with the same
rebuff. The gentlemen have not
given up their intention of putting
up the boundary yet. but if the
people don't meet them halfway
they may be driven away from
Ardmore entirely.
Our property owners make a
grand mistake when they put an
exorbitant price on a piece of
property when a man comes along
and wants It for some public en-
terprise.
1t is these small enterprises that
build up a town, and they should
be encouraged by all good citizens.
