 Frank Wallace came up from Aztec headquarters Thursday and swore out warrants for some unknown parties, who later proved to be Lee Smith and Frank Jones, both well known in Winslow, who had opened his grain ary the night before and helped them selves to a sack of oats. He had trail ed them to the Rope place, and there they had left the road and took across the hills. Mir. Wallace and Under sheriff Divelbess took up their trail and overlook them about one mile east of Five-Mile. They were given a preliminary hearing before Judge Hathorn yesterday and bound over to await the action of the grand jury jury with bond fixed at $500. As yet they have not been successful in secur- ing bail. --HolbrOok Argus.

INTERESTING TRIP.
Drive Of Teachers to Some of the Wonders
 of CocOninO County.

E. Fl. Stover, one of the teachers who attended the teachers meeting here, writes in the Naco Budget of Walnut Canyon as follows:
 An interesting side trip to the pre- historic cliff dwellings of Walnut can yon was enjoyed by large company of the teachers in attendance at the Flagstaff convention. This canyon seemed large and wonderful as we looked across some HOO feet and down some 600 feet, and then by narrow trail went along one side to examine the rude houses built of masonry under huge overhanging cliffs of a race that has perished and left no record behind save walls of masonry and bits of pottery.
 But wonderful as this all is when first seen, it sinks into insigniticance after beholding the most awe-inspiring spot in this great world-the Grand Canyon of Arizona,
 'It would indeed be egotistical in me to think that my feeble pen and fal- tering tongue could describe this, Natures greatest marvel. But if l can awaken an interest my purpose will be accomplished.
 "Unexpectedly, and startlingly sud den, you stand on the very brink of chasm twelve to fourteen miles wide and 1000 to 5000 feet deep. As this great silent abyss opens before you it makes a profound impression. I stood speeches. before the marvel of the ages. It is indeed the eighth wonder of the world, and the greatest of them all. As you stand at Bright Angel hotel and look at the plateau five miles away, and 4,000 to 5000 feet nearer sea level; and then are told that the river is l30O feet below the plateau, distances seem almost in- credible. But after tramp of eight hours to reach the rivers brink and return, you have compelling evidence that the figures are not overestimated. You see but a fragment of this i'm. mense chasm, which is some TOO miles in total length and more than 500J feet deep, as it winds it's tortuous course onward to the gulf of california, full of splendor and of glory"

qualities. 1t appears to be just as
natural for Beachey to "aerialize" as for
brook trout to swim against the cur
rent or for squirrel to climb tree
Give Beachey a big gas bag with frag-
lie teamwork underneath, to which are
attached a little engine, a big rudder
and some propeller blades, and the boy
is quite in his element He takes to the
air like a gosling to the horse pond. The
enthusiasm of Santos-Dumont and other
adult airship eXperimenters is as cold
air beside the enthusiasm of this boy
from California, who declares that his
appetite is fully as good as that of any
boy of his age, but that he would rather
"airship than eat" No matter whether
you believe in airships or not, you will
believe in Beachey, if you stand by him
in the aerodrome at the Lewis and Clark
exposition, alongside the huge gas bag
of his airship, and hear him talk about
his ambitions.
Beachey lives In San Francisco, where
he attended the public schools until he
was Is years old Then he entered the
employ of an airship enthusiast was
bitten by the bug of aerial navigation,
and has done nothing since except to
work around airship shops.
Beachey has already made flights in
his airship, the third venture being very
picturesque. With whizzing, whir-
ring sound the propeller operated beau
tifullty, taking the ship for some dis
lance full against the wind at a ten
hour clip and about 1000 feet up in the
air. But the force of the wind increased
and Beachy was driven slowly but surely
to the south and east. For some reason
