THE CARTER CASES
And the Troubles Of a Nan Who
Borrowed a Horse.

w. NJ. Carter was examined yester
day in Justice Robertson's court on
the charge of forging the name OF E.
W. Fisher to check drawn on the
National Bank of Arizona in favor
of w. NJ. Cartwright and cashed by
Carter at the Boston store. The de-
PENDANT was represented By Attorney
j. l.. B. Alexander. Quite number of
witnesses were examined nothing,
however, being added to the story of
the case as heretofore published. At
the conclusion of the examination the
defendant was held to answer to the
grand jury under bond of $3.50. which
he could not furnish and went back to
Jail. The same defendant was given
an opportunity in Justice Burnetts
court to answer the charge of forging
in like manner the same name 10 an
other check passed on the Bank EN-
change saloon. He waived the exam
ination and was held to the grand jury
on $500 bond, which of course was
not furnished. The checks were for
$40 each.
Manuel Gallardo was also arraigned
in Justice RCbertsons court on the
charge of horse stealing, though there
was no secrecy about his method of
operating. Last September, nearly
year ago, he borrowed horse from
Pedro Eacinas, to work on his ranch at
Mcdowell for a while. As the weeks
rolled by Encinas began to pine for
the return of the horse and frequently
told Gallardo so. The latter as fire.
quently promised to return the ami
NAL, but kept negiecting to do so.
Finally, when Encinas became impa-
tient, he told him that the animal was
badly worked down and he wanted to
put him on pasture for Il while. At
least, that is the story of the prose-
cution, though an equal rumber of wit
nesses believe that Gallardo is being
prosecuted. Tuesday Encinas made
complaint against Gallartio and Depu-
ty Sheriff Gonzales went TO Mcdowell
and arrested him. He pleaded not
guilty and the case was set for exam
inatiOn this morning.

A CHAMPION SHOOT
Three Teams Will Take the Field
This Afternoon.

It will be known tomorrow who is the
best live bird shooter in this communi-
ty. That is a matter which has been
much mooted of late. An association
has been formed for the final deter
mination of it. DR.. J. l.. Hamilton is
the secretary and manager of the as
sociatiCn. There will be three teams
of two men each. The first team will
consist of J. NJ. Aitkin and Paul
Kruger; the second of Horace Harrison
and john Gibson, and the third of w
A. Milton and William Cunningham.
Each man will be allowed 100 shells
he will also be furnished with re-
trieVer "a man and other necessary
supernumeraries so that he will have
nothing to do but shoot. The low team
will have to pay for the ammunition
and for a sumptuous dinner to be
served tomorrow on the return of the
shooters from the contest. The high
team will be declared the champion of
the territory and will always be open to
challenge from any other team in Arr
iona.

been chosen. The hacker, retriever

Ting out flint weapons by thousands.
Perhaps the flint was once like clay,
easy to fashion. But it is as hard as
diamonds now.
Until this recent discovery it was one
of the mysteries of archaeology where
the coast Indians got their silica and
how they made their weapons from it.
This is how the flint mine was discov
cred: Prof. Smith started from the
Pacific coast on muleback to determine
exactly how far the coast Indians of
prehistoric times wandered inland. A
big flood was raging in the Yakima
river. The thermometer stood at 100
degrees and rattlesnakes We're as thick
as blackbeTries. frightening both the
mule and the professor.
For a time the survey was interrupt

overlooked dens. Frequently there were
enough snakes within a mile to bind
the Nebraska wheat crop. In lodging
the snakes and hunting for places of
safety Prof. Smith made the discovery
of flint that viii give him rame.

INDIAN ARROWHEADS.

All boys and great many men have
wondered how the Indians made their
weap Ons. knives, arrowheads and spears
from cold CLASSY flint. 40 times harder
than iron and full of fire when you
strike them with steel But for the
fiintlock guns of early American days
how could the heroes of Fenimore
Cooper have done their wonderful
shooting? For century boys have been
digging up arrowheads in ploughed
fields, but where the flint originally
came from to be fashioned into wea-
pons of war has been mystery.
At last there is light on the subject.
The American museum expedition, un-
der Harlan j. Smith, announces the
discovery of the prehistoric quarries
where the extinct Pacific coast Indiana
got flint for their weapons.
1t was on June 10 that these Quarries
were discovered, in the solitudes of the
Selah canyon of the Natchez river, sew
en- miles from North Yakima, in the
state of Washington. According to
geological, archaeological and other
signs, these mines must be many cen
tulies old. Perhaps when Alexander

the store asked her for what purpose
she wanted it and she stated that she
intended to make Il solution of il. with
which to battle her feet, which were
swollen and painful. On this represent
tation the poison was sold to her. and
nothing more was seen of her until at
the hour above stated on Monday
morning when she was found dead, the
indications being that death was pain
less and without struggle
The empty bottle which had con-
tanned the laudanum was found under
the pillow and every indication was
that she had taken the drug with sui
cidal intent. although there was nc
known cause why she should desire to
end her life, as far as the Journal
Miner could learn. Mr.. Hampston was

He was sent to Wabash.
The first man the young solicitor called
on at Wabash was a banker. The banker
knew a good deal about insurance, too. This
man carries $500 o life insurance and when
a man has that much insurance he usually
knows considerable about what life insur-
ance is.
The young man Stated his case" for
about fifteen minutes, giving the banker,
he thought. some valuable information. The
banker listened attentively. When the
young man got through with his First talk
the banker said:
my boy, / think / know more about in

Whereupon the graduate of the Manual

train for Indianapolis and rendered his res
ignation as a life insurance solicitor.
He is now working for his father.
