FOUR N0GALES NIMRoDS
Saved by a Scratch from Death by
 Drowning in Canyon

Not having much to occupy their time and being weary of city life last Tuesday morning Doe" Tuttle, H. w P. Hamelmann, Jack Teeter and Fred Hartman, four prominent local nimrods mounted their horses with their guns and went out to the Pena Blanca mines, in the immediate vicinity of which there are more blue rock pidgeons than you could shake stick at in a week. Messrs. Futile, Teeter and Hartman, all of whom are ardent sports and deadshots, upon their arrival at Pefla Blanca. started out to slaughter birds and MT Hamelmann. who is too kind hearted to kill even q bird, re- mained with the horses and the eat ables.
 About 2oclock there was a cloud burst in the Canyon above the camp, and without any warming q great body of water came rushing down the Can yon. carrying big trees and immense bOulders with it. MT. Hamelmann saw 1t coming in time to give the alarm to the huntsmen. who were coming up tho Canyon, and then he made a break for tall timber. The rest of the party lost no time in clim bing the side of the mountain out of harms way. thus escaping what would certainly have been death, for no man could have come out of that terrible flood alive.
 The boys succeeding Tn getting away with their guns and ammunition and later bagged about 200 birds. Barring the cloud burst incident, they report having had fine outing and plenty to eat. They will not soon forget Mr Hamelmann, who so ably took care of the trimmings and made it possible for them to help eat it.
 Tuesday night the party remained at the mine where they were very com fortable and Wednesday they rode back to Nogales.

Last Sunday Fire.

Early last Sunday morning just after the heavy electric rain storm had passed over tho city, the big two-story adobe brick store building on Calle Elias, Nogales, Sonora, owned by Mex ican Consul M. Mascarenas and oc- cupied by ''La Francesa, May Her. manos, of which B. Schwab was man. ager, was discovered by two policemen to be on fire.
 Pistol shots and the ringing of the fire bell soon brought out the Nogales Fire Department, Agent H. Jordan and his first lieutenant, Geo. O'Wesney, and the railroad switch engine, as well as half the town. Every effort was made to extinguish the flames which in n few minutes had spread all over the big store and were devouring thousands of dollars worth of handsome goods, much of which had been imported from Paris.
 Every body worked hard but all hopes of saving the contents of the building were soon abandoned and united effort was made to save the ad- joining buildings, which, on account of the rain just before the fire started and the change in theIwind, was done to the great joy of every citizen in Nogales. for at one time it looked as though the business portion of the town was in danger.
 The members of the Nogales, Arizona, fire department stood by our friends across the line until everything in the building but the safe was consumed. About seven o'clock that was pulled from the smoking ruins, it's contents undamaged, then our boys roled up their hose, returned it to the depart ment house and went home, tired but with the knowledge that they had stay ed by a friend in need
 The orIgln of the ire may never be known, but is drought by many to have been caused by the electric light wires being struck by lighting.
 The loss on the stock is placed at $75, O00, Mexican money; insurance $50, GOO, which THE VIDETTE has been informed has been paid through the P. Sandoval & Go bank, agents for the insurance company.
 The walls of the big building are still apparently in splendid con- dition, and it will at once be repaired. after which it will again be occupied by May Bros. popular ''La Francesa.

Prize Fighter Gets a Year.

Over in Tombstone, the county seat of Cochise county, the other day, John Bolan, the prize fighter. was tried and convicted of prize fighting in the terri tory and sentenced Ey Judge Doan to one year in the territorial prison. The fight was pulled of at Bisbee on the night of June 10th between John Bolan and Jack Bain, who made his escape into Mexico. It is sad the fight was rank fake.
 The offense charged Is under an act of congress passed in 1896 when Fitz- simmons and Mayer threatened to fight in either Arizona or New Mex ico and eventually pulledit off in the bed of the Rio Grande river between Texas and Mexico. The bout at Bis bee was under the auspices of an Athletic club, organized for the pur- pose of pulling off the fight. In order to beat the law membership to the club was sold to those desiring to witness the Bolan- Bain mill. The outcome of the case will put a stop to any future attempts to fight in Ari- zODa.

Pat. anu Barny in LICK.

Thirteen miles from Tombstone, easily reached by good wagon road, there has recently been located large deposit of high grade white marble, samples of which can be seen at THE VIDETTE office. Many years ago Pat English, the expert stone cutter of this city, re sided at Tombstone. He was following his trade, and one day in handling building stone he noticed piece of white marble. Upon inquiry he learn ed where the stone came from and one Sunday he went prospecting for marble which he found. Pat was a young man at that time full of life and the spirit of old Tombstone; money was plentiful and he had no time to devote to marble. His curiosity had been aroused; he just wanted to have that marble deposit on his list for future re- ference.
 A short time ago Pat became in a meditative mood. While so occupied he suddenly thought of that marble deposit over near old Tombstone. He had never heard of marblelike it having been talked about or used in Arizona, so he decided it was still where he left it years ago, when he had more money than time Now he had more time than money and could spare few days. He told his friend Barry Quinn, the building contractor who knows the difference between maj ble halls and adobe walls. Sure, Barney would take a chance at white marble, or anything in which there was an honest dollar to be made.
 Pat remembered the place and he and Barny had no trouble in finding the deposit. Its existence had not been thought of by anyone but the original discoverer.
 The gentlemen located everything in sight and returned to Nogales Friday of last week to tell their friends how it happened. Capital will be interested to quarry and place the marble on the market and then Pat and Barny can live on the fat of the land for the remainder of their days, which THE VIDETTE hopes will be man.

Mining Superintendent McBane came in from the Tip Top Minin 7 company's property in the Helvetia district yesterday and will leave this morning for Cleveland, Ohio, and other points. Mir. McBane is one of the principal owners of this property. Before it was sold to the present com pany 1t was known as the "Little Helvetia."
 Continuous development work has been in progress for over year. The main work has been confined to the Copper Duke and the Tip Top. On the latter a tunnel has been run in 200 feet to catch the main ledge, which is about 200 feet from the pres ent location of the tunnel They have had good concentrating ore the entire distance of the tunnel. A recent shipment of ore to Denver for a smelt- CT test gave result of 24 per cent copper.
 MT. McBane, who is the assistant uperintendent, says that the company can conservatively state that they have $2OO.O0O worth of ore blocked out at present.
 Dr. M. NJ. Graves, who is the su- perintendent. Is an experienced min ing man, having operated for nun Der of years in Utah and having acted as consulting engineer for several of the best known companies in the west.
 It is safe to predict that the Tip Top mIne will soon be numbered among the substantial producing mines of Arizona Tucson aud Pima county will be large benefciaries from the successful operations of this company. Star.

boys had disappeared. Brown went through the xkress car with the help of the other Owings boy but they could get nothing except some papers and forty dollars Mexican coin. They asked Capt. Milton, who was wounded. where the keys were and he ans vel ed that they were hanging up somew here, but they could not find chem. O~ings then went into the depot to get some powder but could not find any and they gave it up and helping Three Fingered Jack to mount, and rode off with what booty they had. They rode about half mile, then went through the papers, but found nothing of value They then proceeded about two miles further, Three Fingered Jack getting weaker all the time, until they finally had to leave him. Three Fingered Jack was to try to reach a certain point little further on if he could, and the others were to tell Burt Al word where he was and try to get help to him. Then Owings and Brown separated, and Brown rode to Pearce, expecting to find fresh horse there that was to be provided for him by Stiles but failing in this, ne rode the same horse into Wilcox, arriving there just at day break. He found Alvord there and told him all that occurred.
 The Owings boys were arrested day or two later, while Brown escaped into Texas and was there arrested and brought back.
 Brown was followed by Lewis Owings, who testified in less detail to the same story, but who added the in formation that when they told Alvord about Three Fingered Jack being wounded he said that they ought to have killed him and thus prevented the posse finding him alive and getting any confession out of him.
 Other witnesses testified as to the location of the different towns men toned as being in Cochise county, and then witnesses were put on the stand to show Alvord's escape from the Tombstone juil and the fact that he was fugitive from justice for some time. That fact of his having aided in the capture of Chacon, the notorious Mexican outlaw, was also brought out
 The prosecution then rested, and court was adjourned until after the noon hour At o'clock the defense put on Alvord himself, who testified in contradiction of what the witnesses for the Territory had said, and explain ed several occurrences mentioned by the prosecution.
 The case was then argued at length by the attorneys on either side, and then given to the jury. At p. m., the jury is still out for the night, with the general opinion that it will be either conviction or a hung jury.

Tombs tone, July 14.-The case or United States vs. Burt Alvord, charged with conspiring to obstruct and retard the United States mail at Fairbank in February, 1900, was resumed this morning. RE Brown was the first witness, and the most important witness in the case. He testified very fully, giving all the details of the plan for the hold.up and ful! account of the hold-up itself. The court room was very quiet during his testimony, the crowd listening intently to his story, which was so interesting that the attorneys forgot to enter objections to some of the testimony not strictly bearing on the present charge, but allowed him to give the whole store.
 He started from the time of his arrival in Arizona in 1899 and his acquaintance with AIvord and Stiles
 He was first told of the Cochise hold up by Tom Burts, brother of Mat Burts, and then, having learned the inside story of that. the men told him that he was an unsafe man to have around after he knew of theIr connection with the Cochise affair, unless he would go in with them in the next hold up and become as guilty as tine rest He objected to this at first but was told that if he did not join them they would fix him the way they fixed some one who knew too much about the Cochise affair. He told of the gradual perfecting of the plans, until finally the date and place for the hold up were fixed and every thing was in readiness. Three Fling cred Jack was the leader of the gang, and the actual participants in the affair were Three Fingered Jack, R k Brown, and the Owings boys. These four arrived at FairbanE early in the evening of February l5oh and waited some distance away until they heard the train coming. Then they hurried to the depot It had been arranged that Three Fingered Jack and one of the Owings boys was to line the people up and take care of the express mes senger; the other Owings boy was to cover the engineer and fireman, while Brown was to go around the train to the side next to the town of Fairbank and protect that side. This plan was disarranged by the train stopping farther back than they expected, and Brown had only reached center of the track on his way to the other side when he heard shots He immediate ly ran along the same side as the others were on and helped one of the Owings boys to cover the engineer and fireman and compel them to line up with the rest. He them saw Three Fingered Jack lying on the ground wounded, while the other Owings

THE ALV0RD TRIAL.
Story of FairbauA HOld-up Ibid by
 Prisoner Brown.

Tombstone, July 13.-(Special to THE BORDER VIDETTE )-The grand jury returned five indictments against Burt Alvord and Billy Stiles jointly and one against Alvord alone. Stiles promptly left the country and cannot be found, but Alvord appeared for trial and Is now being tired on the charge of conspiring to obstruct the mails, which arises out of the occurr- ence at Fairbank in February, 1900, when Capt. D Milton held the rob bers at bay. The Owens brothers and Brown and Downing, all serving time at Yuma on these charges, were brought from Yuma to be used as witnesses and are now here in the Tombstone iail Their presence and the trail brings out many stories of the robberies with which their band is credited.
 The jury was empanelled today and the testimony of William Downing on the direct examination was all that has been taken so far. Downing testified to seeing the robber band, including Alvord and Stiles, leave Pearce for Fairbank to hold up the train. He was invitad to join on that occasion but declined, although he afterwards aided in the work of the band. Alvord and Stiles told him where they were going and what for and it is this admission that is sought to be used against Alvord now. Downing went on to detail numerous conversations with Alverd afterwards which showed that Alvord had full knowledge of the whole affair. When the Owens boys were arrested Alvord expressed fear that they would get him into tr,uble and admitted that they expected him to furnish an alibi for them, but said that Jack Dunlap, alias Three Fingered Jack, who died of wounds received in the hold up, was the only man that knew anything direct against him and he therefore felt safe since the death of Three Fingered Jack. Attorneys William Barnes, Thomas Flannlgan, once Dis trict Attorney of Maricopa County, and Goodbody, at present acting nis trict Attorney of Cochise County, are defending Alvord. The trial of the case will be resumed tomorrow morn ing

CATTLE FOR MARKET.
Kansas Correspondent Writes THAT
Feedisg Stock LIS an Industry
Growing in Favor.

Feeding stock for market is carried
on by the farmers in this section to a
greater extent this winter than any
year previous. Other years it was only
the most well to do class of farmers
who fed. The past fall, although fat
cattle were scarce and high priced, as
but few were fattened the past winter
and summer, other cattle were as a re-
suit all the more numerous. Corn was
plentiful and though the price was
good, the roads to town were any
thing but good. Hogs were also not
numerous enough to eat all the corn,
as the drought and consequent short
ness of feed induced many farmers to
sell ever most of their brood sows.
Most of the farmers who had half
or a full car load of steers to feed and.
had put up their own and bought Q
few more from those neighbors who
were not able OF inclined to feed them
selves. Others went to work and
shipped in western cattle, some as
many as four or five carloads. These
feeders, of course, will have to buy on
siderable corn as well as other rough
age, which enables the renter and 9TH
err farmers on a smaller scale to get
their farm products sold right near at
home for as good a price as they would
receive by hauling it a long way over
bad roads to town. The hog, the very
best friend we farmers can boast of,
helps to pay the cattle feeders what
they would fail to make on the cattle.
If he has pigs in the feed lot, say about
30 half-grown shotes running behind
a carload and a half or two loads of
cattle, those pigs will grow up and fat
ten IN the corn that the steers waste.
Thus if the farmer or feeder can get
even as much only as his corn fairly
well paid by the steers the hogs will
much more than repay him for the
work the feeding will take. This win
ter's result of feeding will be of great
value, as new interest in stock raising
has been awakened. If the outcome is
as encouraging as the prospect now
is a complete revolution in this par
ticular branch of farming is assured

LIVE STOCK

The Maltese milk goat is the latest
candidate as a money maker.
Breeding pigs should be fed largely
on a vegetable and bulky diet rather
than on a concentrated grain diet.
To grade as baby beef steers should
be choice or prime, between one and
two years of age, and weigh from 800
to 1000 pounds.
1t is said that a grain ration that is
suited for COW serves very well for
hens, supplemented, of course, with
grit, oyster shells, bones, etc.
Where animals have not had free ac-
cess to salt, it is best to work them
up to it gradually, as they age, apt to
overeat and produce securing.
"Contentment is fat" and every lit
tie thing that adds to the comfort of
the steer Or makes him more contented
increases the gains which he makes
from each bushel of grain.
