Bow Frightened to death.

Recently at Lewisham, England, an
inquest was held on the body of Sidney
Harry Smith, aged II years. He was
playing with a roller towel and placed
his head through it. In some way he
must have got the towel twisted, for
when the servant found him five min
utes afterward he was dead. A physi
clan said death was due not to strangu-
lation, but to the fright caused by the
lad finding he could not get his head
loose

FORMALLY AWARDED
The Exposition Bonds to the Bank of
 Bisbee.

The board of managers for Arizona Of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition yesterday afternoon received a reply from the Bank of Bisbee saying that the bid of the bank for the $30,000 issue oi exposition bonds would stand. This bid, 1O7, was the highest offered, and the board wired on Tuesday evening saying that it would be accepted if the bank would wait for the delivery of the bonds until they could be prepared. The bid was without any attached con- dition and the board thought it possi- ble that it contemplated immediate de- livery. The reply of the bank was sat isfactory and the contract was formal ly awarded. Another bid was received yesterday morning but Secretary Ddl- ton did not open it. Ward Hughes also received word from an eastern cani- talist authorizing him to sumbit oid. using his own judgment. Mr. Hughes prepared bid but it was too late 70 Cffer it. It was. however. below tie Bisbee bid. though it would nave been the next highest.
 H. l. Latham had also been cor responding with capitalists, who ma ie a mistake as to the date of opening the bids. Or the morning of that day they wired him. authorizing him to offer figure which would have been slightly above the bid of the Bank of Bisbae. but the certified check which the board required to accompany each bid could not be telegraphed.
 The board is very well satisfied wtsh the result since the price received is the highest ever paid for an Arizona bond. It is only IT, below the market value of the United States registered &.

Charges of Disregariing Injunction
 Against Water Gate Breaking.

Judge Kent yesterday issued attach ments for E. L. Hayois and C. Agner for contempt of court. They were among the defendants in injunction proceedings brought by the Arizona Water company last fall to prevent in tarference with the company's head gates. proceedings against the defend ants having been unavailing in jury trials. At q late hearing before Judge Kent the temporary restraining order vas continued in force and the com pany was permitted to sell water to non-owners of water rights. It was the refusal Of the company acting under its construction of Judge Sloans decision ir the SIosser case that led to the gate breaking. Ali the defendants in the in junction proceedings were nOn-oWners.
 It was supposed that since water hal again been put within thei rreach and since the injunction had been continued that there would be no more gate breaking. Yesterday Dan McDermott, superintendent of the Salt River Valley canal, went before the court and made complaint against HayOis and Agner, charging them with having filed the pin of gate Nc. of the Salt River Valley of gate No. of the Salt River Valley canal. He said he had seen them do it. This happened on May 10. Complaint vas also made by General Manager Cleary Of the water company against Martin Gould, charging him with breaking d headgate Of the AIaricopa canal
 Gould was one of the defendants in the injunction suits but the motion for an attachment for him was denied on the ground that the complaint was de fective. The plaintiff, the MaIicopa Canal company. was given permission to renew tn application. The writs in the cases of Hayois and ASrer were made returnable today

JUMPED THEIR BAIL
Two Pinal County Cattlemen Charged
 With Illegally Branding.

Attorney Thomas E. Flannigan re- turned yesterday morning from Flor enca where he was called to defend Sim Neighbors ana John Richards. who were arrested q week ago for stealing or illegally branding cattle belonging to Dudley Craig and John Irions. MT. Flannigan returned yesterday morning. His clients had jumped their bail and gone to Mexico. He wasn't going to follow them all over the southern re- public to defend them even if he had received his retainer.
 Neighbors and Richards, who were cattlemen themselves, were locked up and held to the grand jury in the sum of 5000 each. They furnished bail last Thursday and went to Harlow's ranch, near Mesa, where they had left the cattle. They met there three of Moss mans rangers. Gray, Robinson and Barefoot, and asked permission to eX- amino the brands on the cattle. They had with them several men whom they were going to use for witnesses. The rangers said they would not let them examine the cattle there but that they were going to take them to Florence under writ of duces tecum for the Jury lO tOCh dt- lie rangers lCll lHGlll that if they would go back with them they could examine the cattle in the presence of the witnesses. As soon as Neighbours and Richards learned that the cattle were going to be witnesses against them they left the country.
 Both of them have ranges of their own and each of them has about three hundred head of cattle, but they aban- doned everything, so that their bonds men are well secured.
 Mir. Flannigan says that if all the AIossman rangers are as gentlenanly and reliable as Robinson, Gray and Barefoot. this organization for the pre- servation of the peace and good order of the territory is one of which every citizen may be proud. They stand high in the estina ton Of the cattlemen. They do not take the initiative in cases of cattle stealing, but when complaint is made to them they proceed to worI; up the case and always succeed in do- ing it if there is proper foundation fer a case.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER IS
 MADE.

The health department of New York has seized a quantity of so called cheap baking powder, which it found in that city. Attention was attracted to it by the low price at which it was being sold in the department stores. Samples were taken and the chemist of the health department reported the stuff to be ''an alum powder" which analy sis showed to be composed chiefly of alum and pulverized rock.
 The powder was declared to be dan gerous to helath. and several thousand pounds were carted to the offal dock and destroyed.
 It is unsafe to experiment with these so called "cheap" articles of food. They are sure to be made from alum. rcck, or otter injurious matter. In bak- ing powders the high class. cream of tartar brands are the most economical because they go farther in use and are healthfuI beyond question.
