AS good many reports have gone

think ii just and fair to all concerned
to say few things about it. When
the board granted tao free ferry it was
not contemplated thas timber men

out rope float and cut the banks all
to pieces and put great amount of
extra work on the ferryman. The

for hand except when the float
gets loose and the banks are cut up
by overflow, thea it requires extra
labor. and we think he should have
extra pay. AS it has been @anaged

cult to get man to stay at his

should b, done. We thought this
much should be said that the board
might know what was being done.

From the Chapin, s.

A friend who had a bottle of Chamber lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrheoa Remedy on hand gave each of us a dose and we at once felt the effects. I procured bottle, and before using the entire contents we were entirely cured. It is wonderful remedy and should be found in every household. H. Bailey, Editor.

A New Pest.

A number of the farmers of this val ley have reported the presence of a bird best that in some sections seems to be assuming serious proportions. The matter was first brought to notice several days ago in a conversation that occurred at the board of trade room on the occasion of the meeting of the council of the Water Users association. Various of the farmers present said they had noticed in their grain fields numerous little blades of grain that had been pulled up when they were only an inch or so above the ground, and wondered what had done it. Some explained that it was little bird, about the size of an English sparrow, though they were not sure it was that particular bird. The birds pull up the blade, then eat the kernel from which it sprung, the blades serving as flags to locate their food. Yesterday Mir. Cole, who re- sides about three miles southeast of town, came to the board of trade to inquire if there was any known solu- tion available by which grain might be poisoned and scattered for these birds. He said he had melon field of several acres that the birds were playing havoc with. When the plants are only an inch or two high they grasp the tender stalks in their bills and squeeze them as though sucking the juice of the plant, after which the leaves immediately wither and die.

DEATH or ED. TtWkSBURY.
Dies h GlIa County Hospital the
 Graham. Tewksbury Fued of l809-92

Edward Tewksbury, the last of the principals in the Tewksbury- Graham war of 1889, died in the county hos pital last Thursday night. He had been paralytic for long time, and his death was hastened by pulmonary consumption. He left wife and three children. In 1892 Tom Graham, the last member of that family who participated in the war, was shot from ambush and killed near Mesa. Ed. Tewksbury was arrested, charged with the crime and indicted. After a sen- sational trial at Phoenix, during which the widow of Graham attempted to shoot Tewksbury, and threats of lynching him were made, Tewksbury was found guilty on evidence that was wholly circumstantial and by many considered insufficient.
 On an error the court set aside the verdict, and Tewksbury secured a change of venue to Pima county. Af- ter trial in which the jury disagreed, and confinement in the Tucson jail for upwards of year, the charge against him was dismissed and he was given his liberty. The reason for dismissal was that the case had been a very ex- pensive one, and there seemed to be no prospect of securing a conviction.
 The case engendered a good deal of feeling, and to this day the partisans of the respective factions are as firmly fixed in their opinion of Tewksbury's innocence or guilt of the murder of Graham as they were at the time of the first trial of the case.-Globe Sil- yer Belt.
