Water shortage has been more oi Q barrier Co live stock prosperity in that section ihan d scarcity Of feed but both are now in abundance and cattlcmen look forward e succession of favorable sea- sons Practically everything that will be turned off this range during the winter will be beef. and good prices are expected
 Clifton Era: A goodly number of cattle are being shipped out of the southern counties of Arizona to pasture and feed elsewhere, all of which will be the better for the ranges, as recuperation will be the more rapid and substantial. While 1t is true that the range is not nearly so heavily stocked now as in former days, 1t is recognized that the lighter the range is stocked the more prompt 1t will be to respond to the present favorable weather conditions with increased benefit later on. Another favorable point is that the breeding stock left on the range will be the better for the thinning out process, because it in- snres larger percentage of young stock, and this is especially inn portant on ranges where imported stock is now being introduced for breeding purposes.

HIDES AND HORNS.

Stockman, The further north you go the better the range be- comes; from Prescott north to the line of the Santa Fe Pacific the country begins to look like it did in the construction days of that road, when every contractor on the road invested his profits in the COW business and for years enjoyed q wonderful degree of prosperity.
 Clifton Era: A party consisting of thirteen cowpunchers, headed by Johnny -Cromb, recently made 9 roundup out on the Rattlesnake range at the Bishop ranch They were very successful in gathering a large number of cattle as we'll as other things. Johnny reports that the cattle are in fine shape and thinks that the cattlemen have bright prospects for the future,
 Douglas International American: A. Wearin, wife and son, of Iowa, are in town. MT. Wearin is buying cattle and yesterday made d big deal with Wm. Neal, of the Four Bar outfit He bought 10,- GOO head of cattle and shipments will begin at once. The first ship. ment will be made tonight when eighteen cars will leave the cattle pens for the east Other shipments will follow as rapidly IS the cattle can be brought in.
 Wilcox Range News. Eugene Caruthers, chairman of the board of supervisors. Graham county, was here for several days last week Mir. Caruthers visited sev- eral of the ranches in this vicinity for the purpose of buying horses. He claimed there is a good demand for them in the state of Illinois. It N reported he closed a deal with Thomas Allaire and W. E. Servoss for number of range horses.
 Stockman ). 4. Pitt, the popu- lar deputy inspector at Ash Fork. IS himself cattleman and dealer in steer cattle. His herd is of the popular Hereford strain, and he has some of the best cattle in Yavapai. In addition to the cattle business, Mir. Pitts has cinch on the mercantile trade of Ash Fork, having a we'll stocked store of sea- sonable goods, and he enjoys the trade of a wide scope of country.
 stockman; For some years the firm of Patterson < Bixby has been engaged in the sheep business in the Chino valley south of Ash Fork, on the old Garland < Ross cattle ranch, and have enjoyed prosperity They have now formed the Chino Valley Cattle Co.,. and will gradually go out of sheep and into cattle, the firm considering it the better line and better suited to their range W. R. Patterson, an old-time cattle buyer from the Los Angeles market is now member of the firm. Seventeen years ago MT. Patterson bought beef from the ranges of the Southern Arizona counties during the winter months. He Is now engaged with others in a cattle feeding enterprise in the Colorado valley below Yuma.

BEATTY
ACQUITTED
Federal Court jury at Parkersburg Says
He Is Not Guilty of Attempt to
Blackmail Blackstone.

Edward Beatty, of Warrington. was
acquitted Saturday night in fedora
court at Parkersburg of the charge OF
an attempt to blnckmaiI b. F. Blackstone
some months ago of $4,000, by writing
him letter and telling him that he
must deposit the money on the roadside
some distance from his home on a certain
night.
Blackstone notified PostofIice Inspector
Sam Hooten and deeoy package was
made up. Mr. BIacSshere took the ride
and deposited tine package but the
blackmailer got wise and escaped. Short
Iy afterward Beatty was arrested and
Hooten got specimen of his haudwrit
ing. The government tried to prove that
It was the same as the letter written tc
Blacksherc. but the expert in the case
mad his evidence broken down on cross.
examination That left only circumstan-
tial evidence for the government to rely
mpon. The defense established sort OF
abb by proving where Beatty was short
~ after the exact time the hold-up oc.
CURED.
The jury was out several hours and
brought in verdict of acquittal about
10 O'Clock Saturday night and the pris-
oner was discharged.
The case has attracted much attention
owing to the fact that few months pre-
Sious the home of the Floyds was blown
up in that neighborhood, supposedly for
the purpose of robbery, and this black
mailing scheme seemed to be of the
same daredevil nature. It is now i'm.
probable that the real blackmailer will
ever be apprehended.
