Stockman: w $. Clayton of Tu- lia, Tex, is one of the newcomers in the Colorado valley south of Yuma. where he bought the Parson Wright farm. He intends to make a speciality of raising high bred horses for the market, and it is said that his location could not be better for the purpose. The va Hey of the Colorado is very largely settled up by Texas farmers who want to better their condition, and they are still coming. With the added irrigable area that will be reclaimed by means of water to be taken from the river above Yuma by means of the proposed govern ment dam that valley will be one of the choicest spots for the farmer and live stock raiser in the whole southwest, and the lands will be rapidly taken up for such pur- poses.

HIDES AND HORNS.


 Packing Company of Los Angeles on last Mondays regular Maricopa train. Four of them were from Phoenix and the other two were from here. They were sold by Olson.
 Prescott Courier Thos. R. King, the veteran Chino cattleman, ac- companied by his nephew, Thos. W. King, came in from Chino val ley yesterday. The Courier re- porter had talk with the old gen. tleman who said that his cattle were in good condition and that he had plenty of food and water on the range.
 Benson Press: Captain Wm. H. Stout, of Rockers Hot Springs, is in town today. He is en route to Fresno, California, with train load of cattle, gathered from the Hooker range, and loaded today at Wilcox. The train consists of 2S cars. Captain Stout will spend two or three months at Santa Monica before returning to Ari- Zona.
 Stockman: B. A. Packard says the cattle on his ranges are having hard time, and for several weeks he has been engaged in strenuous work in preparing for their welfare digging wells and moving the herds about over the range to points where the grass is best. In the opinion of Mir. Packard, if the usual summer rains come to this section, the loss of cattle in south ern Cochise county will not be serious.
 Stockman: Billy Spaw, live stock inspector, who makes his home in Duncan, spent a couple of days in Clifton last week He reports to the Era that nearly all of the farmers of the Duncan country have rented their pastures to cattlemen at an average of about Sl50 per head per month. This will be the means of saving nearly all the cows and calves, and will also be help to the farmers, who will do about as well as they would have done from an average hay crop.
 Stockman: A trainload of 563 head of two-year old cattle shipped from Wilcox to Pearce City, S. D. netted the owners $15 per head. The shipment was made up by number of cattlemen from Sulphur Springs valley and adjoining ranges. All the cattlemen con tributing to the shipment raise good cattle, and the price paid IS not a very long one for cattle of this class, but is the prevailing price for cattle of this age paid by the northern buyers this season throughout the southwest.
 Yuma Sentinel: Don Johnson, cattle and hide inspector was in town the first of the week and in- spected a shipment of hides. It took a great deal of trouble to get him here. Finally letters and telegrams to the secretary and the president of the cattle sanitary board seemed to have the effect of waking up the inspector, who would not answer to direct appeals, and he came.

STATE ASKS A RECEIVER
FOR OLD WAYNE MUTUAL
Complaint Makes Sensational
Charges Against indianapolis
Insurance Company.
HEARING IS POSTPONED

The State of Indiana, through Attorney
General Miller yesterday filed suit in SUI
perior Court asking for the appointment
Of a receiver for the Old Wayne Mutual
Life Association OF indianapolis. Final
hearing in the case was set for May II
without the appointment Of a temporary
receiver. Pending the hearing OF the SUIT
all funds of the company now on deposit
In the Capital National Bank are not 10
be drawn upon, and all receipts are TO be
placed on deposit and a separate account
kept of them.
Ex-Attorney General Ketcham appeared
for the association, and asked the post
ponement of the case because of the rush
exhaustion from the Federal Court case
which he has just finished.
Some time ago State Auditor Sherrick
made an examination Of the company af-
fairs. and set forth in his report that the
company was not complying with the acts
lions Of the acts were mentioned as vio-
lated by the association. Among the viola
tiOns mentioned are that assessment no
ticeS TO members do not state the object
company accepted payment and issued pol
icies when payments were made by another
than the insured without the consent of
the insured and when the beneficiary had
no insurable interest; that the expenses of
the company have been paid out of funds
collected for death claims; that the COM
pany has paid endowment claims out of
funds collected for death claims, and that
the company has made false statements
10 the State in its official reports, giving
the amount paid out much less than it
really was. The complaint also alleges
that report TO the auditor of state fixed
the amount of salaries TO officers as 81, 500,
when in reality il was $4,000.

ALUMNI PRESIDENT PLANS
MUCH FOR De PAUW'S GOOD
a. E. Dickey Is Progressive n
dianapolis Attorney and Bene-
factor Of University.
ENDOWED \ LIBRARY

De Pauw University. as another illustra-
ton Of the new pushing spirit which is
now rejuvenating the institution, has just
elected Alfred Z. Dickey, Of the class of
9i, progressive Indianapolis attorney and
business man, as president Of the alumni
association of the university.
Previous TO this election the presidency
of the alumni has always been held at
Greencastle and nearly always by some
member Of the faculty, while the asSOcia-
ton has generally satisfied itself with hold
ing n reunion and banquet during COM
mencement week and lying dormant the
remainder of the year. Ii is now proposed,
however, to make the association one OF
the moving, vital forces in the management
and growth of the university.
This purpose has already manifested it
self in the greatly increased interest taken
by alumni In the election this year, as
almost four times many votes were cast
as ever before; but more especially still
by the movement-fathered by the alumni
of Indianapolis. but in which all are now
participating with enthusasm-to raise
$4,000 10 endow the chair of the president
of the university. Charles w. Smith, the
newly elected alumni trustee, is at the
head of this movement and the committee,
just organizing, is proposing to push this
endowment with great VigOr. Two large
gifts have already been promised before
the committee has got fairly 10 work.
The new president, DR.. Hughes, has
already in the four months since his in
auguration made himself felt all over the
State and in many places outside of the
State and the expectations of those who
announced that his coming was the herald
of new and great era of success in the
university are being abundantly justified.
MIR. Dickey, the new president of the
alumni association, was a great help TO
the university last year in giving $500 to
endow Il special library in the department
of biology, which has made that depart
ment one of the best equipped for special
work in the West. and he is now proposing
to give a good share OF his attention and
time to plans for increasing the efficiency
of the association and arousing the inter-
est of its members.
De Pauw's commencement this year
promises to be a record-breaker In point of
attendance. The classes of 10 and "a will
have reunions at which almost every sur
viving member of both classes has prom
ised to be present. The class OF "a has
already had a preliminary meeting in this
city to make special plans for big time.
The alumni of the university now number
about 1850, scattered all over the world.
Votes in the recent election came from
nearly every State in the Union as well
as from Mexico and several Canadian prov
inces Several who had not been heard OF
for years voted in the election this year.
which is considered by those Interested in
the university as one of its most hopeful
signs.
