on Thursday, the date of the crime.
But the prosecution introduced
testimony showing the presence of
Horn in the neighborhood from
Sunday evening, the 14th, up to
Wednesday evening the 18th; and
the facts thus established were ad-
mitted by the plaintiff in error.
Horn arrived at the ranch of Will
liam Clay Sunday evening, and he
stayed there that night. He de-
parted from Clay's house Monday
morning, returned between l and
2 O'Clock in the afternoon, and
shortly went away again. Clay's
ranch is located north and in the
immediate neighborhood of the
Nickel ranch. We are not certain
that the evidence shows that the
two places adioin each other, but
it is clear that they are not far
apart The two houses, we be-
lieve, are not to exceed two or
three miles apart, and the distance
may be even less than that. Mon
day morning at about 10 o'clock
he appeared at the ranch house of
one Miller, aud made that place
his headquarters until about 8
or 10 O'clock Wednesday morning,
the day preceding the killing. He
slept there Monday and Tuesday
nights. Tuesday morning he and
Mr.. Miller went fishing short
time and about A o'clock in the
afternoon he had his horse brought
up, and be rode away, going as he
stated, to what is know as the
stree claim" He was absent about
one hour On his return he re-
marked that he bad seen Nickell's
sheep in the Miller pasture. Horn
testified that he went to see if the
Nickel sheep were in any of the
pastures belonging to his employer
and found that they were not,

WATERING HOUSE PLANTS.
An Everyday Question Answered by
"a Practical PInntsDlnn.

An Everyday Question Answered by
Practical Plnntsman.
The first question asked by the un-
Initiated plant grower is, How often
does it need TO be wateredT" The per
son who says, Water it every day or
every other day." is not your friend.
You can give the baby drink at regu-
lar intervals, but the weather, the at
mosphere and temperature of a room
vary so much that no such rule can be
applied to watering house plants. The
different families of plants also vary,
some requiring a wetter and some
Grier root environment than others, re.
plies j. L. Scott in American Garden
ing,
On broad principles, when you strike
the pot sharply with your thumb nail
Or any other hard implement and the
sound is sharp and clear, the plant
needs water; II dull 1t is wet enough.
Again, take some of the dirt from the
pot and squeeze 1t between your fingers
and thumb. If ii feels soft and spongy
or adheres together it needs no water,
but if it falls apart then give it a good
watering. Mark, when we say "a good
watering" we do not mean two table
spoonfuls, but as much as teacupful
ta a six inch pot and more or less ac-
eording to size Of the pot Experience,
after all, is the best teacher, and we
all have more or fewer failures until
we learn.
The keeping of house plants in sau-
GERS Is necessary for cleanliness, but as
soon as the water has soaked through
the saucer should be emptied, The hole
In the bottom Of the pot is not only left
for drainage; it is also meant for an air
passage. All roots must have q free
supply of oxygen, and unless there be
free circulation of air the supply of
oxygen will be restricted and conse-
queut growth retarded. Having this
in view, 1t is well to raise the bottom
Of the pot above the saucer little by
standing it on a few pieces of broken
pot or any other material.

THE editor of the Bulletin has be-
come terribly agitated over the
announcement made by the GUARD
IAN that Geo. H. Kelly is trying to
get Fl. Grant removed to Douglas,
and says that we are trying to
make it appear that the Bulletin is
engaged in the same work, al
though the Bulletin was not men
toned in the GUARDIANS articles
1t is said a guilty conscience needs
no accuser. 1t will accuse itself
The Bulletin intiInates that it is the
"father" of Ft. Grant, which we
are willing to concede, but we ask
it to join in the endeavor to pre-
vent its removal. Then it says
the people of Douglas are simply
asking for "one of the new posts
to be established" to be located at
Douglas. Mr.. Kelly stated plainly
in bis interview in the Bisbee
Miner that Ft. Grant is no benefit
where it is now located, and that
he is doing his utmost to bring
about its removal to Douglas.
Where does, the Bulletin stand?
Does il advocate the removal of
Ft. Grant, or its retention? We
hope it will advocate It's re-
tention.

FRIDAY, FEB. 10, 1904.
THEIR PATIENCE EXHAUSTED,

The farmers OF this valley have
been imposed upon in a manner that
borders closely upon what might
be termed outrageous, for the past
several years, by the way in
which the waters Of the Gila river
upon which they depend for the
irrigation Of their crops, has been
loaded with substances that come
down the river from the smelters
at and near Clifton; and now pro-
pose to put step to il, by bring
ing suit against the smelter com
panies TO compel them to dispose
of the acids and other deleterious
substances from their works in
same other way than by dumping
them into the river,
II has heen most clearly proven
by the experience of those who
use the waters that como down
loaded with the acids and sub
stances from the smeltcrs, that the
waters so impregnated are serious
ly injurious TO the landi and has
proven 10 be so destructive to veg
citation that small vegetables, such
as tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, and
many other garden productions
cannot be raised successfully. 1t
is also proving seriously injurious
to the alfalfa lands, the main re-
lance Of the people of the valley.
The people Of the valley have
stood this imposition long enough,
and propose TO institute legal pro
ceedings to put stop to it.
They have no desire to do injury
or injustice 10 the smelter compan-
les; but, on the contrary desire to
see them abundantly successful
but do not want TO see them sue.
ceed in such ways as will bring
ruination to their farms.
Committees have been sent from
year to year from this valley to
ask the companies to protect the
farmers from the destruction
threatened to their farms, which
copmittees always met with court
eous treatment, but came back
without achieving any practical re-
suits. The farmers have become
tired of the way in which they are
being treated, and now propose to
put stop to it.
The movement now on is by a
number of prominent farmers and
land owners of the valley, and they
intend to back it with their in
fluence and money.
Before the waters Of the Gila
became impregnated with the sub
stances from the smelters, this val
ley produced superabundance of
all kinds Of fruits and vegetables;
but now only few of the harder
kinds can be raised. Hundreds of
fruit trees have been killed, fine
orchards especially of young trees
soon decay and die, and now the
soil is getting into such condition
that it does not produce alfalfa as
we'll as it did in the past.
There seems to be no other way,
than that provided by law, in
which this valley can be protected
from the ruin fast coming upon it,
The people have made up their
minds that they can get protection
n no other manner, and smarting
inder the way they are being
treated, propose to push the matter
lntil they are fully protected by
1ecrees Of the court.

AS twilight is caused by the refrac-

When the sun has sunk eighteen de-

can be refracted anywhere, but the path
Of the sun at the equator is SO nearly
vertical that it's disappearance is pro-
portionally rapid.
The shortest twilight at the equator
is one hour and twelve minutes at the
equinoxes in March and September;
the longest is one. hour and nineteen
minutes at the solstices in June and
December.
In London from May % to July 81
it is twilight all through the night. No
wonder, with disparity SO great,
people speak Of night in the tropics
as coming on almost suddenly. Farther
