SETTLED WITHOUT A SUIT IN
 COURT.
(From Sundays Daily.) )

Mrs. Conrad Stump of Albuquerque whose husband more han a year ago was killed by Santa Fe train near Florence, yesterday compromised her claim for damages through a cOnsulta- tiOn with officials of the road in Pres cott.
 Mrs. Stump was paid $l,O00, and was allowed certain other minor con alterations that proved satisfactory to all concerned. Her husband, who was killed in an accidental manner at Flor ence, was a section foreman on the road, and at the time of his death was one of the oldest employees of the com pany.
 A few days ago Mrs Stump arrived here to commence suit against the com pany to recover damages for the death of her husband, but learned that under the statute of limitations she had wait ed too long to get proper standing in court.
 Upon consulting with officials of the company here she was in the end offered $l,00o in cash in satisfaction of her claim. and upon the advice of friends she accepted this proposition on the part of the company, receiving the money yesterday.
 Mrs. Stump is the aunt of Mrs. Or rick Jackson of this city, and has three sons at her home in Albuquerque, all employed by the Santa Fe company. She expects to leave here for her home tomorrow

DECLARED INSANE THE SECOND
 TIME.
(From Sunday s Dailv.N


 Rafu6a Dorami, the seventeen-year- old girl, who was brought to Prescott from Jerome, and committed to jail on a charge of insanity, was yesterday examined before Judge Hicks in the probate court, and committed to the asylum. The unfortunate young wom- an is the mother of three children, who are now being cared for by their grand parents in Jerome.
 An interesting feature of the exam nation and sentence of this woman is the fact that she is the same individual who was made the basis of a charge against Superintendent William Thomas of the county hospital, and upon which a jury convicted him.
 The records show that she was the first time sent to the asylum in Aug, 1903, and was released March 6. 1904. It was after the commitment in this first instance was issued, that the hos pital account showed she was still there and a charge against the county. Although it was shown at the Thomas trial that his wife had kept the hospi- tai accounts, the superintendent being very ill at that time, and may have made an error in the name of the party charged, the jury returned a verdict of guilty.
 This Dorami girl, whose odd name is thought to have led to the error in Thomas accounts, is thought to be be- yond cure, and is a terrible wreck men tally. When sent to the asylum the first time, it is reported she steadily grew more rational under the treat ment given her there. At the time of her discharge from the asylum, she was believed to have been permanently cured. Upon her return to her home in Jerome she showed no sign of mental trouble for a month or longer, but fin ally again grew nOrose and irrational, causing much trouble.
 Attacks of epilepsy followed, and af ter these she became violently insane acd beyond control. During the past month her condition has been such as to demand that sine be returned to the asylum, and when nothing further could be done to aid her in Jerome, she was brought here for commitment to the asylum.

The Bowling Tourney.

"No summer ever came back and no two summers ever were alike Times change, and people change so said Nathaniel Hawthorne, and so say we all Time changes our fads and oftentimes our hearts, but this particular S ummer has changed our tune.
 Two years ago there was no melody more popular than "The good old sum mer time," but this season we have been resurreeting antiques, for there is no song more popular at present among the music lovers than that touching little ballad, entitled "After the Ball. and the favorite rendez- vous for it's chorus has been for the past week the bowling alleys. There from the early dawn til the wee small hours the heavy ball rolls and wins for its thrower either great sp- plause or the deepest humiliation.
 The young woman have shown themselves able competitors ever since the tournament commenced, and Miss Theresa Frederieks throws the sphere with a grace and skill not often seen among her sex, and which has been equaled only by Mrs. Edward Meany Miss Helen Burmister, though a more cratic player than Miss Fredericks, is close second, and has a good chance of winning in the finals.
 Miss Mabel Norris wields her ball with much precision, but is easily un- nerved by spectators, which doubt lessly accounted for her losing her match on Tuesday morning.
 The faithful practice of Miss Lila Hawkins also showed to good advan- tage on the same day, when she play ed off with Miss Fredericks. Miss Helen Adams bowls with much force and grace; her sister, Miss Alice Ad- ans, plays with ease of manner, too. In the draw she obtained a bye, and she is wished much luck when her turn comes to play in the semi-fnals.

Valuable Ore Uncovered In The Second
 Shaft
Manager Johnson Goes To Los Angeles For
 Outfit
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 The hoisting machinery for the new shaft recently sunk at the Alto mine in the Big Bug district, is soon tc be installed.
 So reported Manager $. C. Johnson of the company, who came to Prescott last evening, and who goes to Los An. geles this morning to arrange for the purchase of the outfit
 Some splendid ore has been uncover ed in the new shaft, and its extent and value justify the belief that the Alto mine will soon be one of the big pro- ducing properties of the county. NIT. Johnson, in prospecting, opened up a a ledge on the surface that when strip ped contained gold bearing quartz that assayed $199 to the ton, s196 of which was gold. He installed a whim, and sunk shaft v feet. where there is a ledge of 1-2 feet to feet in with, with a granite wall, the average values of which are s42. He has been working twelve men, but will increase the force as soon as the new hoist is placed in position.
 The Alto Mining Company is com posed principally of Ohio people, and has been working for three years. Its property is located in Greens Gulch, in the Big Bug district, and is sur rounded by a number of mines of estab- lished reputation.

GOOD CROWD TURNS OUT.
Benefit Baseball Was Well Attended,
 But Heat Spoiled the Game.

Sundays baseball game for the be nefit of Harry Cate was fairly we'll at tended, but many purchasers of tic kets were not at the game owing to the extreme heat. This same heat told on the players in both the Whipple nine and the Prescott team, and after a bunch of errors had made the first inning look like child's play, both teams being equally guilty, the bal ance was just a steady grind without ginger.
 A feature of the game in the early stage was the outfelding on both sides, phenomenal catches of long flies be- ing made one after another This good record was later smashed by no end of outfeld errors, and the truth was that it was so hot and enervating that the players could not do good work. Even Grabb, the umpire that is SUD- posed to be leather bound, quit in the fifth inning, utterly unable to go fur ther. In the end the score stood 15 to Il in favor of the Whipple team, and most of the visitors hurried home to don dry clothing.
 It is understood that the game has netted Cate quite neat little pile to help him out of his shortage with the Wells Fargo company, but up to last evening the tickets left about town had not all been checked, so that a statement cannot be made.
