WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN,

For the Week Ending April IS, 1904.
Rainless weather prevailed through
out Arizona during the past week, and
temperatures were generally high. The
daily range Of temperature was great,
so that the nights were quite cool In
the more elevated portions of the ter
ritory. There was considerable wind
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The lower Colorado river continues at
a good stage and furnishes an abund-
ant supply of irrigation water for that
section. The weather has been ia
vorable for the growth of vegetation,
and all crops in that section are in
fine condition. Grain is nearly ready
for harvest. The first crop of alfalfa
has generally been harvested, and the
second crop is advancing rapidly. Gar
den truck is doing nicely. and water
melons and other fruits are in a very
promising condition. Over the rest OF
the territory conditions are much less
favorable. The supply of irrigation
water which was previously much too
small to properly irrigate crops, has
continued to diminish. Practically no
land is being cultivated except that
lying under irrigation canals, and the
acreage which is ordinarily cultivated
i'm those sections is greatly reduced.
There is some hope for crops on land
lying under the most favored canals
but even there water in sufficient guam
titles Is not available. Conditions are
most favorable in the San Pedro valley
in parts of the upper ella valley, over
limited areas in the southern portion
of Apache and Navajo counties, and in
the most favored portions of Maricopa
county, but elsewhere the prospects
are very discouraging. Though in a
few localities grain is doing fairly
we'll and promises to make a crop,
generally it is not doing well, and
much of it is being cut for hay or pas
:ured. In the northern portion of the
territory seeding is in progress to u
limited extent. In some sections al
falfa is doing well, but generally it is
not doing we'll. A light first crop is
being cut in Maricopa county. Pota-
toes are up in Graham county. - Gar
dens are generally backward. Injury
to fruit by frost seems less than was
feared, but it is considerable in many
localities. The condition of ranges
has continued to deteriorate. and stock
water is diminishing. Stock is failing
rapidly. and there continues to be con-
siderable loss by death. Sheep are be-
ing moved to the ranges in the northern
portion of the territory.

CHEER UP!
Why Worry About Indigestion When
Pepsikola Will Give You Relief,

why anyone should worry about
Indigestion" said the head clerk in
Bears drugstore, lis hard for US to un-
derstand.
I'VE have been selling Pepsikola for
several months and in all our expert
ence we never knew a remedy to give
such universal satisfaction.
We know four or five chronic old
dyspeptics on the verge of despair for
years who today are cheerful and hap
by ali because of the beneficial effects
of the little chocolate coated tablet
taken after each meal,
IF people only realized what a Won
derful remedy it is and how much good
it has done right in this very town they
would not doubt or hesitate another
minute" Words cannot express the
great good 1t has done in Phoenix and
Pepsikola must be remedy of more
than unusual merit for IL hr. Bear had
to refund the money to very many dis
satisfied customers he would certainly
discontinue selling it on his own per-
sOnal guarantee. Ask yourself if this
is not true.
II you are thin, nervous, worried and
low in spirits just cheer up and try a
twenty-five cent box of Pepsikola on
the druggists say so and If il fails TO
give you a new nerve force, new am
bition and new energy you can get
back your money without any question
or argument

TIE WOMAN sEAuTIFuL.
q. L. Bear Tells Why Laxakola Beau
titles the Skin.

Drop i'm most any time now and you
are apt to see one of the clerks wrap
ping up bottle of Laxakola. Phoe-
nix ladies' have learned of the ramark-
able effect of Laxakola upon the bile
pigments, and the beneficial action 1t
has upon the skin and complexion is
really surprising. Mr.. Bear will tell
you the demand for it is increasing
rapidly. not so much on account of the
advertising, but because this or that
lady drops into the store with the
statement that she has been recon-
mended to try il.
Probably no other remedy ever made
so enviable a reputation in so short a
time, for Laxakola is sold now in al
most every prominent city in America.
Should you need a mild. safe, gentle
liquid laxative that will improve your
appearance, cure constipation and
make, you feel better in every way, try
a twenty-five cent bottle of the great
tonic laxative. Laxakola, and your on
ly regret will be that you did not know
of this splendid remedy before.

the prison, the members of the board of
control, Judge George r. Davis. before
whom he was tried, and two-thirds of
the trial jury. There was also peti-
ton signed by many Of the best peo-
pie of Cochise county. United States
Attorney Nave Joined in the movement
for the release of Johnson.
At the time OF his conviction, Johnson
was only sixteen years old. 1t was not
charged that he had actively participant
ed in any robbery but there was a
holdup of a saloon at Naco in which
the principal figure was Burt Alvord.
Johnson did no more than to hold the
horse of Alvord and to accompany him
across the line when he made his es-
cape.
Johnson Is a Texas boy and though
there is no record that he had been en-
gagged In any previous trouble, the de-
scription of him mentions the scar of
a gunshot wound on the inner part of
one of his legs.
HIS is said to have been an intense
reader Of the more exciting literature
of the west; that kind dealing with
cowboys and Indians. He not unnat-
urally looked upon Alvord as a hero,
for he had already at that time taken
part in at least two railroad holdups.
He was the kind of a man Johnson had
been reading about and he was readily
induced to attach himself to the real
thing. The holding of the horse of the
outlaw on the night of the robbery ives
to him a post of honor. In the three
years he has been in the penitentiary
he has learned that holding up trains,
saloons and railroads is not all of life,
nor the best part of it.
The authorities believe that when
Johnson gets out he will try to become
an honest citizen. In fact, he has al
ready done society some good in giving
testimony against Alvord at two of his
trials.

DEER AND DOGS AS FRIENDS.
California Gives Instances Where
They Have Played Together.

In the town of Oroville, California,
now a notable gold dredging center,
where live, / very recently saw fawn
unconcernedIy rambling about the main
street. Dogs that were in no wise ac-
customed TO it went up. smelled. as is
their canine custom, and passed on.
writes a correspondent of the Hartford
Times. The fawn was perfectly un-
concerned.
Two years ago there was another
deer, over half grown, in the same
town, which had for it's companion and
safeguard a large Newfoundland dog.
These animals were often seen playing
together at their own desire. On these
trips the Newfoundland seemed by in
stinct to know that the deer was at
the mercy of other dogs and saw to it
that no dog molested the deer. The
family owning these two attractive an
imals has moved from Orovi1le. taking
their interesting friends.
Another nearly grown dooe / saw last
year (adojining the same town. stand
ing in little creek with some cattle.
I was told that it came and went to
pasture and to milking (of course. the
deer was not milked) daily with the
cows. In 1887 I was at Eden Valley
ranch for a month. 4 wild, rough
country in Mendocino county, Cal, en-
virons this gem. Big and small game
abounds there. The wild cattle in the
'roughs" are the most interesting fea-
ture there.
The cattle dogs, wild hog dogs, bear
dogs and deer dogs are taught to pur-
sue and attack tirelessly. The most
exciting chase and fight / ever wit
messed was between these dogs and a
great wild bear that succeeded in rip
ping two out of the six largest and best
trained dogs. The bear was finally Sc
cured alive and dragged into the cor
raj at the end of a RATA, snuDbed 10
the horn of the chief vaquero.
For a month 1 saw a male and fe-
male fawn move with perfect unconcern
among these dogs, and all lap milk
from the same trough (the fawn does
not lap, but drinks like a pig, and
drinks milk like a starved pig). 1t was
laughable to see them pushing each
other while gulping milk. These dogs
that ran off the mother doe were the
first to discover her young. but did not
seize them as they would have done the
doe When strange dogs passing the
ranch house on the road espied the

The Story of the ella Bend Cinnamon
Not Entirely Believed.

w. j. Tobin, indicted for murderous
assault upon a lot of Cinnamon at ella
bend last February. was acquitted yes
terdny. This was the first criminal
trial of the April term. Tobins case
has often been related He is young
man of about twenty, a member of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. of
Scranton, pa. a member of the Y. NJ.
e. A., and the bearer of good repu-
fatien in the town where he lives.
According to the story he told on the
Witness stand yesterday he was maxi
ing a tour OF the country. He arrived
at ella Bend without money but he eX-
pected to obtain needed assistance from
members Of the brotherhood. He said
he was very hungry and going away
from the train he met man whom he
supposed from his manner, was a rail-
road man. Tobin related his case TO
him and having shown him his card.
the man took him into a Chinese res
faurant and ordered n meal for two.
: before Tobin finished his meal his
benefactor arose from the table and
holding up two fingers, which Tobin
supposed was signal TO the Chinese
waiter that ne would pay, Tohin hav-
ing finished his meal, started to leave
the place. He was intercepted by the
waiter, who was quickly Joined by an
other and another and finally by the
cook He said the Cinnamon were try
ing to beat him over the head With a
chair; two of them seized the ends of
a handkerchief which he had about his
neck and tried to choke him. The cook
brought gun and struck him on the
head with it. At that point. Tobin said
he managed to draw his razor and be-
gan to thin out the Celestials. He near.
IL cut the throat of one. cut a long
cash from the ear to the point of the
saw OF another and wounded still an
ether. About this time an officer ar
rived and arrested Tohin. All this took
place In the restaurant.
The Cinnamon said that they were
not trying to do Tobin any harm. They
admitted that the man who entered the
restaurant ordered the meals. They in
sisted that Tobin should pay because
the ether man had gone. They said
that all they wanted him to do when
no told them he had no money was to
stay in the restaurant until they could
get an officer.
The only witness beside Tobin and
the three Cinnamon was Constable
Williams, who made the arrest. He
could testify only to the fact that he
found bloody place, two badly lacer-
ated Cinnamon and a badly scared
white man, for Tobin had broken his
razor and was almost helpless. His
testimony on one point differed from
that of Tobin. The former had said
that the Cinnamon had locked the door
early in the struggle. Williams said
that when he arrived he found the door
unlocked.
The Cinnamon did not make a favor
able impression on the stand. They
appeared to have agreed upon a story
and they kept the agreement. 1t was
impossible TO cross examine them. They
would reply TO none of the questions
asked them. That fact was made the
most Of by Attorney Richardson for the
defense and no doubt it had great

TAKING DESPERATE CHANCES.

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution or treatment, and a
knowledge of this fact leads others to
take their chances instead of giving
their colds the needed attention. 1t
should be borne in mind that every
cold weakens the lungs. lowers the vi
tality, makes the system less able to
withstand each succeeding cold and
paves the way for more serious dis
eases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of
colds, can be had for a trifie? For
sale by all druggisas.

BEST COUGH MEDICINE FOR
a CHILDREN.

When you buy cough medicine for
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence. You
want one that not only re-
lieves but cures. You want
one that is unquestionably HARM
less. You want one that is pleasant
to take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
meets all these conditions. There is
nothing so good for the coughs and
colds incident to childhood. 1t is also
a certain preventive and cure for
Group, and there is no danger what
ever from whooping cough when 1t is
given. 1t has been used in many cpl
denies of that disease with perfect
success. For sale by all druggists.
