MAKING A REPUTATION.
An Aberdeen Youth is Gaining Musical Fame
in Texas.

Mr.. B. Roscoe Shryock, son of Mr..
Seymour Shryock, OF this city, is making
an enviable name for himself as a student
and musician at the London Conserva-
tory. OF Dallas, Texas. The leading art
journal OF Texas, the "Crest," in recent
issue, says;
can interesting feature of this recital
was an original composition by Mr.. B.
Roscoe Shryock, a member of the senior
class. Mr.. Shryock is from Abereeen,
Washington. Mr.. Shryock has several
original compositions in his portfolio,
and they show talent OF unusually high
order. The musical world will doubtless
hear from him later. The difficult
Wagner-Liszt Spinning Song was played
by him in a most finished manner. He
is already brilliant pianist, and also an
organist of unusual ability, as shown by
his sympathetic and effective perfor-
nance Of his difficult organ NUM- er."

THAT PROMISED BONUS.
The $4,000 Donation to the Market Mill Co.
Now Due.

The new mill of the Market Lumber
Co. has not been making much noise OF
late, but work has been progressing
right along and the mill will be ready to
cut lumber for shipment by March Is.
1t may have escaped the public mind,
but the fact remains that the citizens of
Aberdeen, through its chamber of COM
merce, agreed to pay bonus of $4,000
to this enterprise and the sum was duly
subscribed. The fires OF last fail have
in measure, perhaps. obliterated some
recollection OF this affair, but the mill is
an assured thing and in few days the
collector will call on the subscribers for
the amount of their donation. Don't de.
lay the collector; remember his time is
valuable and pay up promptly. Under
the original agreement this money was
due the Market Lumber Co. several
months ago and should be met promptly,

SPECIAL YAvAPAI EDITION

The special Yavapai county
number OF the Chicago Mining
World has reached our desk. 1t
devotes eighteen pages to the mines
of Yavapai county. 1t was gotten
up by George A. Cook, a special
representative of the paper. Mr..
Cook opens his article with the fol-
lowing poetic and prophetic words:
Not so many years ago the word
Arizona " was one that to the outside
world brought the thought of the wild
Apache, a desert and bleak land, unfit
for the home of the white man.
Arizona's past has been a dark and
bloody one, its history is written in the
crimson tide from the hearts of its
slaughtered pioneers. and their lonely
graves, on plain and mountain side,
silently attest the sacrifice made to
wrest this wonderful rich mineral do
main from the grasp of the murderous
savage.
The past is but the memory of some
horrid nightmare: the present and fu-
trre ale bright with the halo of prom
ise.
The barriers have been cast aside.
Isolation is no more. The railroads
have drawn the country into close inter-
course with the world, and Arizona,
with wealth beyond computst on in her
vast mineral beds, is today on the high
road that leads to power and prosperity.

HAVE NO CAUSE TO FEAR

The Graham Guardian is much
panied to think that the chairman
of the Board of Supervisors has
been indicted. We are sorry for
the Guardian as we'll as for the un-
fortunate chairman. But what is
the use of all this grieving over
something which does not amount
to anything in the end? Is not
Graham the county in which a
man named Mcintosh killed poor
travelling photographer almost in
cold blood? And did not a Jury
of the fellowmen of the poor pho
tographer say to turn the murderer
loose? Did not the Judge on the
bench censure those jurymen and
tell them that he never wanted any
one of them to sit on another jury
so long as he was the Judge of that
district?
In view of these things why
should the chairman and his pa
tron saint, the Guardian, be in the
least perturbed over SO small a
matter as some little irregularities
in the conduct of a poor farm =?
A county which will not punish
The news-herald., 1904-04-23

the reason would be advanced that
it was getting to be too common
for mistakes to occur in that post
office-and one of Mr.. Pratt's de-
fenses was that such mistakes had
been made before, and that they
showed the possibility of such
errors.
The man v ho has system need
fear nothing. If he covers every
thing over Systematically enough
he can rob bank, or a postoffice,
or anything else he chooses to rob
except roulette wheel, and not
actually resort to the highway
mans art Verify, system is a
master.
But perhaps we have only
guessed at the extent of Pratts
system. 1t may be he made these
mistakes in this shady looking
manner, and deposited money in
the Bank of Arizona at Prescott in
another mans name and afterward
drew checks against it payable to
one of his pen names, for the sake
of getting into jail and adding
spice to his stories and giving new
inspiration to his Muse. He is
one of the main owners of q ro-
mantle summer resort at Salt Lake
City, which was built partly for
the sake of giving poetic inspira-
ton to his literary productions. A
man who carried system as far as
he did with success ought to be
able to get a place on the staff Of
the great magazine called "Sys-
tenn" A man who can get into
jail by system and get out again
by it ought not to be lost to the
world. Perhaps that is why the
jury found him not guilty. 1t
may have felt that such a man
should not be permitted to waste
his time in Jail, just because he has
a notion that he ought to try that
life for awhile and study life from
that strata of the human family.
If Mr.. Pratt was honest in his
work at the Wickenburg postofice,
and if the $500 draft of Colvin's
was really his, then, indeed, is he a
peculiar guy. But he was ever
thus. He was of peculiar build,
of peculiar mien, of peculiar COM
plexion, and of peculiar mind. We
trust that the courts will not allow
the charge of tampering with the
mails to be brought up against
him, aud that his forgery cases
shall be allowed to- die out. for he
has had enough of jail life to teach
him that it is not as good as life at
the Old Arm Chair, his mountain
summer resort. If he had any
wrong notions he should be rid of
them by now. He will make a
valuable citizen and it is we'll to
turn him loose.

PRATT ONCE ACQUITTED

A gentlemen who has been in
carcerated in the jails of Maricopa
and Yavapai counties for the past
seven months has just been ac-
Quilted on an embezzlement charge
by jury of his peers, on the
grounds that he knew what went
with the money which he misap-
propriated, and the money, of
course, having been returned to
the Government by his chiefs
bondsmen. This gentleman is
Eli Timberline," better known as
A. A. Pratt, the ex-deputy post
master at Wickenburg.
When he was arrested last year
we insisted through these columns
that, unless the prosecution had
everything up to the scratch, that
Mr. Pratt would draw his system
.on the Court and jury and con-
vince them that he could not be
wrong about anything. Pratt was
the butt of many jokes in Wick
enburg for a long time on account
of his system. He was said to
have stuck so close to it that, while
one day showing young lady how
the system worked he made no.
tation at random and, inadvert-
emily left it in his system case, and
on the next day went out to a
neighboring mine, for no other rea-
son than it was there on the slip
that he should 60.
A man who was so systematic
that he mBde notes and filed them
for history on his every act, and
almost on his every thought, ought
to have been the acme of accuracy
He should never have forgotten,
for he had a mechanical memory
that nothing could get away from
Yet he convinced a jury by his
his own testimony that he made
two mistakes of 500 each within a
very short time Of each other in
the postoffice, and then convinced
it that, because he was not ia
miliar with the office at that time
that he must have been making
mistakes of the hand and not ot
the heart or head. In other words
Mr.. Pratt and attorneys completely
bamfoozled the attorneys for the
prosecution and the jury as we'll
as it were hynotizing them sym.
tematically and carrying them ur
on a high mountain and offering
them the vale below.
But, to resume, whether Mr.
Pratt was guilty or innocent, the
case was a bad one and looked very
much as if he would 90 over the
road. Any just common plug
would. If good old honest John
Bachtiger, the present postmaster
at Wickenburg, should make two
mistakes as close together as those
of Mr.. Pratt, and offer the same
explanation as the fimsy excuse
which was offered by Mr.. Pratt
but in his unadorned way of talk.

step into the old mans shoes, for il
would be just like the irony of fate
