How TYnh0Id is Spread.

An article bv Dr.. y. \. VeeJier Of
Lyons, New York. which appeared in
the Medical Record OF the twenty
sixth o. last July on Typhoid Fever
from Sources Other Than Water Sup
ply" has been reprinted and circulated
in pamphlet form and j. deserving Of
careful consideration. That the germs
Of typhoid fever are disseminated by
water is not disputed. On the con-
trary. the evidence OF this fact l. 20
plain that i tends 70 exclude from the
mind every other idea on the subject
Yet there have been outbreaks OF ty-
phOid fever. particularly ia armies
and camps, even when every precau-
ton has been taken for obtaining a
pure water supply, which lead to the
belief that there are other ways in
which the disease j. spread. Cuon
this point Dr.. Necdcr say;
The history Of the typhoid bacillus
planted in ordinary garden Garth is
chapter n yet almost wholly unwrit-
ten. Whether it sub-i-ts in the soil
directly, or finds a home in some warm
or living organism, or ia some product
oi dccCmpOsit do not know, bat
somehow IL survives IN the ground just
a successfully, or even more 30 than
ii does in water. The evidence of its
preseDce in soil or water j. very much
the same. The bacillus itself cannot
readily ne found in either case, but in
Zach Instance there j. history or ex-
posuTo to contamination which Is per-
fcctiy definite and tangible, and there
follows origination OF cases plainly
due to such contamination. Such
as the writer has been
able TO make lead irrc,istihly to the
conclusion tina. the burial Of typhoid
in the earth, without ad-
aquatc distinction, is the surcst
way Of pcrpetuatin& the disease in any
given locality, keeping it alive from
year to year, and causing it 10 become
endemic"

turned last week from q hunting and
fishing trip up the Blue, where they
lived on fish aud game for several
days. Mr.. Davis says that Mr.. Laine
is the handicst man with / rod he was

the best shot in the territory. They
dined on venison nearly every meal.
yet neither OF them shot at a deer, rs
they have great respect for the game
law. They did not enlighten the re-
porter rs to how they secured the
venison.

II. II. Whipple, who is well known
here, having worked here for many
years, and who recently got into some
sort Of trouble at Patagonia, recently
tclephoncd Constable Ham ilton from
Coronado that he would come in and
surrender, provided the constable
would agree not to lock him up. Billy
felt pretty sure that Whipple would
not attempt to give him the slip, so
he told him to come on, and he came,
turned himself over to the officer and
was then turned loose until wanted.
Soon after this Deputy Sheriff Parks
received a telegram to arrest Whipple
and hold him for reward OF $3.50. In
the meantime Whipple had left town,
but Hamilton and Parks found him at
Mctcalf, where he had gone in quest
OF work. He was brought to Clifton
where he is awaiting the arriv val OF an
officer from Santa Cruz county. He
has many friends in this section who
hope that his troubles are not Of "a
serious nature.

Col. Dell NJ. Potter left this week
for Roswell. New Mexico, accompanied
by his son Dclbcrt. and Harold Clifton,
who will continue their studies in the
military institute at that place. The
colonel was greatly displeased that
his son could not attend the territorial
university at Tucson, which he con-
sidcrs better school than the one at
Roswell, hut the age limit ut Tucson
is fourteen years. which cuts the boys
out by few months, and compels
them "a travel many hundred miles
from home, At great expense in order
10 receive Il military training. 1t is
understood that the age OF admission
Mt the university ut Tucson will he
raised 20 sixteen years, which VIII
certainly be great mistake. and
prove hardship on many taxpayers,
who would prefer to have their chill
drcn educated ut home. There is no
good reason why the university at
Tucson should not be rs liberal as the
military institute at Roswell, which is
drawing students from all over the
west. Our next legislature should
look into this matter, and arrange the
law so that Arizona children can be
educated a. home.

Inside History of AlvOrd's Arrest.

From the best Information obtain
able, ii seems thai Billy Stiles, who
was interested in the COchise train
robbery along with Burt Alvord and
Bravo Juan, put up job on Chacon,
and trapped him into surrendering to
Captain Mossman. The job was car
ried out by Stiles, who assisted in dis
arming ChacOn. Mossmau and Stiles
afterwards had some trouble, probably
over the $3.50 reward money paid by
Sheriff Parks to MOssman. AlvOrd
who has been an ontlaw since the trian
robbery incident, having become tired
of that sort of life, and expecting as
liberal treatment as Stiles received
decided to sure nder, and take his
chances with the law, instead OF with
the rangers and deputy sherif<s, there
fore arranged with his friend Stiles for
his surrender. Stiles contracted, or
agreed, to turn Alvord over to Mos
man, but after the misunder standiHg,
changed his mind, and (Aivord
surrender to Dell Ls5E1is. the sheriff
OF Cochisc county. Stiles
lected to inform Mossman Or
tention in this regard, hence Mossman
did not know when the surrender
would be made. On the day Of the
surrender Mossman was riding his
horse along the railroad track near
Don Luis station, when he met the
train bearing Sheriff Louis, Billy
Stiles and AlvOrd. Mossman was so
Infatuated that he put spurs his horse
and for some distance pursued the
train, emptying his eix-shooter over
the rear car. The passengers thought
Mossman was a highwayman and was
attempting to hold up the train, but
Sheriff Lewis understood Mossman's
feelings, and smiled sweetly.

The many friends of Ben NJ. Craw-
ford, the democratic war horse OF Cliff
ton, are becoming uneasy over his dis
appearance. He attended the demo-
cratic territorial convention, and has
not since been seen or heard from in
this section. While Ben was doubt
less somewhat disappointed over the
result of the convention, he is too
good a democrat to give up the ship,
and If he Is still in the land OF the
living he will be found later on at the
head OF the procession carrying the
Wilson banner. There are those who
think that possibly Ben has become
reckless and committed matrimony,
suicide, or some other dreadful thing
which is OBTAINING him from home.
