A Shocking Tragedy.

Wednesday, about the noon borr there occurred at the orchard of Captain J. J. Noon, locality familiar to all in Nogales, a shock inc tragedy by which a young lad ,bout fourteen years of age, named irtpro Custodian, son of Judge Vionel Custodian of Nogales, So- nora lost his life at the hands of Iobn Larkin, an old man long in tbe employ of Captain Noon.
 As the story is related there were quite a number of lads who had made descent upon the orchard and were appropriating the green fruit. They were divided into two parties, one each side of the enclosure. Larkin was kept busily occupied crossing the or chard, driving out fir-t one crowd and then the other. It IS stated also that they were tantallzing in their demeanor Gas under such cir cumstances boys are so frequently) ', calling him names, throwing rocks, etc.. etc. Finally losing his patience the old man went to the house and returned with Spring field musket, which he discharged with the alleged intention of fright ening the boys, rather than with any criminal intent. But, though discharged without aim (so alleged) the bullet sped to its quarry. strik- ing in the abdomen the Custodian boy, who was getting over or through a wire fence. The bullet must have first struck and split upon one of the wires, for two ghastly wounds were inflicted, and two pieces of lead were found to have penetrated the body of the unfortunate lad, who ceased to breathe within 8 few minutes.
 The unfortunate perpetrator of the deed was arrested and lodged in iail, and the remains ot the more unfortunate lad We're con veyed to Marsh's undertaking parlor. Thursday an inquest was held by Judge Ashley, and testim ony partly in line with the forego- ing statement was developed, in ac- cordance with which a verdict was rendered.
 Larkin was called for prelim- mary examination yesterday which he waived and is now confined Tn iail awaiting the action of the Grand Jury.

for consideration of l,65O,0OO shares of the capital stock. The balance 3,350,000 shares to be placed in the treasury of the com pany.
 Att a meeting of the Board of Directors 100000 shares of the treasury stock was placed on the market at , cents a share, to be sold for the purpose of buying a well boring machine, and horlng oil wells. The oil lands have been thoroughly examined by engineers of repute, such as J. Murray Bailey, Thomas Draper and several others who have had years of experience in the oil fl e l q of southern California, who all pronounce it in their judgment,-as far as suface indications, ito be one of mnst promising oil fields in the world.
 Seepages of oil occur at different points, and oil shales are found in large quantities in many places on the company's ground, showing conclusively that in depth, oil will surely be found.
 It is the intention of the com pany as soon as possible to order a complete oil boring machine. start boring a well, and push the work forward to completion as rapidly as possible Anyone who has ever visited the oil fields of southern California can realize what an inn mense boom it would be to Noga- les and surrounding towns, when oil begins to flow. Property would quadruple in value, capital be attracted. and Nogales be center of bustling activity The company have opened offices in the Marsh building for the sale of stock and all orders as well requests for in- formation will have prompt atten- tion.

Alfalfa Clover.

For years the editor has been urging
farmers TO SOW Alfalfa Clover, and glad he
is that thousands of ~wide-awake farmers,
scattered all over America, are doing this
Low, to their great benefit and satisfaction.
A. Walford, Westlore Farms, Pa, writes:
81 have 60 acres in Salzer's Alfalfa Clover.
1t is immense. | cut three crops this sea-
son and have lots of pasture besides"
Hon. IL. f. Hunter, S. d., says, "Sal-
zer's Northern Grown Alfalfa clover can
not be beat. | have solved the question of
stock raising here. Salzer's Alfalfa is good
fo- 5 rousing crops of hay, Salzer's Spe,tz
for GO bu. of grain and 3 tons hay, Sal
zer's Macaroni Wheat for 60 bu. best hog
fattening wheat, and Salzer's Hanna Bar
ley, for arid, dry land, is good for 70 bu.
per acre. These are all great hog, sheep
and cattle fattencrs, and last but not least,
Salzer's Victoria Rape for sheep, and Sal
GERS Teosinte, good for so tons of green
food for cattle, and Salzer's Billion Dollar
Grass and Bromus Jnermis for lots and
lots of good hay. These things make it
possible for me to grow live stock by the

The Kaiser and the maopie.

The kaiser lately reviewed a feath-
cred veteran of the German army.
One of his regiments has a pet mag
pie, which is full of militarism. and
very proud Of its parade step. When
the kaiser visited the regimental quar-
ters recently he asked for this accom-
plished bird. In ILLUSTRATION there
is a picture of the incident. There is
the kaiser sitting sternly in the sad
die, and there is the magpie with it's
martial stride, and there are the off,
GERS of the regiment with mingled
anxiety and pride plainly marked on
all their faces. Who can be sure of a
magpie's tongue? He might have
turned upon his sovereign with. some
expression of private judgment worthy
OF a Socialist editor. Who can doubt
that, after such ~offense. he would
have been tried by court-martial for
lese majestic, and imprisoned in a fort
ess?-London Chronicle.

Mr.. John Johnston, a prominent gold
mine operator and real estate dealer Of
Juneau, Alaska, is in the city visiting
his cousin, John B. Martin.
Juneau, our beautiful, wealthy and
charmingly located Alaskan capital, re-
joices In a. good a government as there

The streets and sidewalks are flushed

Frauds IN A BALE Of HAY.
Frauds I'm watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cincin-
natl Commercial, a f~ifty-one pound stone
was recently found in that city secreted
In a bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This Is not as bad as finding a lump of
lead OF nearly one-half the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the cen
tire of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and
no one can see where this lead is secreted
until the springs Of the case are taken out
and the lead will be found secreted behind
them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest, but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. 1t is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he
has lugged a lump of lead in his watch
case.
Another trick of the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
~. S. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out of gold and
silver except coin, and the fakir, by using
this stamp, wants to make the public be-
heve that the Government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the fineness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir is to
advertise o watch described as a solid gold
filled watch with a twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gener-
ally sent c. o. d., and il the purchaser has
paid for the watch he fnds that the COM
pany which guaranteed the watch to wear
is not in existence.
The Dueber-H ampden Watch Company,
of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the names
of the manufacturers who are in this ques-
tionable business.

n HE season of catching cod is upon us.
"A The cough and the sneeze and nasal
twang are to be heard on every hand. The
origin of chronic catarrh, the most COM
mon and dreadful Of diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen.
orally begins. A person catches cold, which
hangs on longer than usual. The cold
generally starts in the head and throat.
Then follows sensitiveness of the air pas
sages which incline one to catch cod very
easily. At last the person has a cold all
the while seemingly. more or less discharge
from the nose, hawking, splitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, ~nostrils stopped up,
full feeling in the head and sore, inhamed
throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
eriy used never fails to cure "a common
cold, bus preventing chronic catarrh.
VIII, many people have been cured of
chronic Qtarrh by a single bottle of Pc
runa, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh be-
comes thoroughly fixed, more than one bot
tie Is necessary to complete a cure. Pc
runa has cured cases innumerable of ca
tarFh OF twenty years standing. 1t is the
best, If not the only internal remedy for
chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Perula at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at this
season of the year and thus prevent what
Is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.

John Jameson of Los Angeles has
invented a method of making relief
maps of the earth's surface by machin-
cry whereby every confguration can
be preserved In a tablet no larger than
the maps which appear In the United
States Geographical Atlas, which are
on sheets measuring IL 1-2 by IA 1-2
inches, with a scale of n mile to an
inch, and in the desert regions four
miles to an inch.
A sample of his machine-made re-
lief map of the above dimensions,
showing the Sierra Madre mountains
and contiguous region, is on exhibit
ton at the Chamber of Commerce, and
shows rs much detail as a similar maj
measuring 5x10 feet, done in the old
way. The designer said yesterday: 81
have invented a machine that will
measure all the heights and model at
the same time, reducing the cost of
such maps. Many maps and a very
large section of the country can be
made in a very small model, and be
correct, and the same size as govern
ment atlas maps. All the mountains,
canons, deserts, railroads, rivers and
towns can easily be modelled as though
they were engraved. All rivers are
shown without being outlined with
paint. School children can easily
learn how to make maps at home with
this machine. The relief map on ex-
hibition is the smallest model in the
world, so far as l know"
The model will be exhibited at the
st. Louis Worlds fair.
