FORT SUPPLY COUNTRY.
1t Is Rapidly Becoming a Well Settled
Section.


Woodward, o. r, Get. I'm writing of
Fort Supply the Woodward News says:
The Fort Supply country embraces a
larger scope Of country surrounding the
old abandoned fort. Lying between the
Beaver and Wolf rivers is the finest
stretch Of valley land TO be found IN the
southwest. 1t extends for twenty-five
miles west, and to the east, north and
south of the old fort there is much fine
agricultural and grazing land. In the ten
years since the opening of the strip for
developed slowly Up to the past two
years, during which period 1t has been
demonstrated that it is destined To be
the scat of many prosperous homes. This
large scope of country is well watered
by streams, springs and spring branches
and there is no difficulty about securing
good wells on nearly every quarter sec
ton This year has demonstrated that
agriculturally tbs section is in no wise
behind the best wheat belt counties of
Kansas. Wheat now being marketed
from the Beaver and Wolf valleys is
testing g. ponds per bushel, and If cleaned
would test 81. yielding an average Of 20
bushels per acre. Corn. kaffir corn. sor-
ghum. alfalfa and other forage crops do
well. and cats this year has yielded from
80 to 60 bushels per acre and tests 40
pounds per bushel. There are few bearing
orchards as yet, but these show that ap-
pies. peaches and small fruit are a sue
cess. But il is the grain grower and
stock raiser who win find the conditions
most favorable here. We have a soil cas-
ily TILED, though heavy and firm; it does
not blow as in the sandy districts ike
Woodward. and no soil IN the country Is
more productive, the natural roads in
this section are the best in Woodward

This case strikingly illustrates the
power Of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for

Of their wonderful success. This IS the
reason why they cure such diseases as

Bisbee daily review., 1903-05-20

That the slayer of Deputy Constable Thomas Vaughn passed close to Bis bee in making his escape there now seems to be little doubt. A Inan ans wering his description was seen near Don Luis early Sunday morning, anu again about 2 o'clock in the afternoon on the west side of the Mule Gulch range, about five miles from this city.
 The news was first brought to Off cer Krigbaum, who stated yesterday that he is of the opinion that the man wanted was in this vicinity during the greater part of Saturday night. What direction he took after being last seen is not known.
 When sighted in the afternoon the man acted in a very suspicious mar ner. He was mounted on travel marked horse, and while passing oDe wagon kept his right hand on his re- volver all the time that he was in sight. s
 No steps have been taken locally 70 find the murderer, though there is now a reward offered for his capture amounting to. nearly $6,000. The off. cers here have no more idea in which direction to start than those at either Douglas or Tombstone.
 The mystery seems as deep as ever and the air is full of theories. Some think there was plot to take the life of the officers which worked out jus' as the conspirators expected. Some think that the man who committed the deed was a desperate outlaw who was willing to take desperate chances tc get away and killed Vaughn in order to make his escape
 According to the statements of twI men the murderer Of Vaughn was
