THIEVES LOOT THE CHAPEL OF
 MERCY HOSPITAL.
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

From W euneSdaV Dally-)
 One of the most despieable crimes ev- CT recorded in the annals of any civil ized community was committed in this city yesterday morning between 12:So and l o'clock.
 Two miscreants entered the Mercy Hospital, which is situated on Grove avenue, in the western part of the city, opened the chapel door, bro6e into the sanctuary, and appropriated all of the valuables.
 The property taken includes the ei- borium and all of the valuable plate usually found in a place of Catholic worship. Then the thieves after footing the chapel and tabernacle turned their attention to the operating room, nd stole many of the valuable SUI gical instruments. In departing they carried away the keys of the chapel with them. To crown their crime, the altar stone was broken as well as the door or Int ldbtIusiNlt. Ab "AAA e''@@o some time to replace these valuable DOS sessions.
 The crime was not discovered until about o'clock, when the sheriff's of fee was notified. Sheriff Lowry was at home at that early hour, and he was summoned by telephone. When he arrived at the hospital, and made q thorough examination of the premises, no clue was obtainable as to the sacri- ligeous thieves. Nor is it thought pos sible that they will be apprehended as the booty which they secured would hardly be offered for sale in Prescott, and it is of such character that no pawnbroker anywhere would be like ly to buy or receive it without being suspicious of the party who attempted to dispose of it.
 No one is even suspected of the crime, and the thieves probably escaped on the morning train.

SERVED SUMMONS ON WRONG
 MAN.
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 A suit involving the goodly sum of $9O,OO0 is the cause of the departure of Attorneys Hawkins & Ross for No gales last evening
 This legal firm represent the Ma tional Metal Co.,, which has brought suit in equity against the Greene Consolidated and the Cananea Con- solidated companies, to set aside a judgment. These concerns are prae- tically one corporation, being operat- ed under separate corporate titles in order to carry on that part of their mining business which is located in Mexico.
 Before these companies installed converters for refining the copper out put, they sold the matte to the Ma tional Metals Co.,, and some time ago the latter was sued on an alleged overcharge of one-half cent a pound for treatment. As the amount alleged JO De thus que was SJU,OOO, dn lued can easily be obtained from these fig ures as to the enormous output of copper from the mines, the period GOV cred by the alleged overcharge being for about six months.
 In due course of time the Greene Copper Co. secured a judgment by de- fault against the National Metal Co.,, and this was the first knowledge it had of the suit that was instituted against it.
 Upon investigation the attorneys of the Metal Co. found that the summons that had been served when the com plaint was filed was not upon an agent of the company, but upon party whOr' the sheriff had supposed to be the law full and authorized representative of the Metal Co. The latter through its attorneys therefore commenced a suit in equity to set aside the judgment, and the trial of the case is set for to- morrow in the district courtof Santa Cruz county, before Judge Doan.

SKELETON OF BODY FOUND ON
 THE DESERT.

What are believed to be the re mains of Marion c. Fenner, an old sol dier, have been found scattered upoI the desert hills in the vicinity of the famous old Vulture mine, says tho Phoenix Enterprise.
 O. II. Mcclellan, one of the em ployes of the Merryman and Moore undertaking firm, left yesterday after noon at o'clock in a wagon tC bring the remains back to the city Mir. Merryman stated this afternoon that he does not expect Mcclellan back in the city before Thursday.
 Information reached the city yes. terday from Dick Wick Hall of Je- rome, regarding the discovery of the body. The matter was reported to Jus tiee Burnett, who at once ordered the body brought to Phoenix. As soon as it arrives an inquest will be held.
 Mcclellan has undertaken a long and difficult trip. He will have eighty five miles to go and an equal distance to return. His destination is in the northwest corner of the county, near the Yuma line. where the corner is formed with Yavapai county.
 In letter Hall wrote to Phoenix, he states that the body was found last Saturday by two Mexicans, who were riding on the road between Harrisburg and Salome. They took possession of papers found near the body. which in dieate that the dead man is Fenner.
 The papers indicate that Fenner was out of the Soldiers Home on leave, and had been at Roosevelt and Grant Bros camp near Salome. Letters were found addressed to him at both places. Other papers showed that the deceased must have been in Phoenix ring the past few weeks.
 Until Mcclellan returns to the city with the remains and an inquisition is held, it will be a difficult matter to determine for certain the identity of the dead man, though there appears Ito be but little doubt that it is Fen ner.
 Hall makes no mention in the letter he wrote of the manner in which Fen ner met his death. It is supposed that he wandered off on the desert, and was overcome by heat Id thirst. Wolves coyotes are believen to he responsible for the dismemberment of the body.

ATTACHES A TRUNK THAT CON
 TAINS COIN.
From wednesday's Daily.l


 The partnership troubles of Harry Dunning and Belle Englund were air ed yesterday before Justice Talbot and jury.
 The pair were joint owners of re- sort at the corner of Granite and Goodwin streets until recently, when it waS decided to sever their business re- lations. The woman decided to buy out Cunning, and agreed to assume the Indebtedness, amounting to about $l650, that hung over the establish mont, and pay $50. Dunning under. stood that this latter amount was to be cash, but the woman claimed to the contrary, declaring that it was to be paid at the rate of 5 a month. This was not satisfactory to "HandsomC Harry,' as he is called, and he put the matter in the hands of his attorney Leroy Anderson, instituted a civil suit and attached the woman s trunk. In il was found quite a sum of money, ana Dunning immediately began to look cheerful agau. There were also some other articles in the trunk which were not appropriate for his wardrobe, but that is neither here nor there.
 The case came up for trial yesterday

IMAGINEs HE IS A SON OF AN
 IRISH KING.
From FridaY's Dailvl


 W. H. Kelly, one of the scockhold- CTS in the Crown King Mines Co.,, was taken in custody at Crown King yesterday on charge of insanity, by Deputy Sheriff Merritt, and brought to town.
 This is not the first attack of this dread disease with which he has been afflicted. He was committed to the territorial asylum for the insane from this county in November, 1904, and discharged from that institution as cured on the 9th day of October, 1905, when he returned to Crown King only to be attacked again in the course of a few days.
 One of his peculiar hallueInations when taken in charge by the officers last year was that he imagined that he was descended from one of the fa- nous kings of the Ireland of olden time when the Emerald Isle bore the soubriquet "Isle of Saints" among the civilized and semi-eivilized na- tions of the old world.
 At another time he would become religiOusly inclined, and deliver elo- quent exhortations to those around him to lead better and purer lives, so that they might escape eternal dam nation in the hereafter, while, still again, he would arise and denounce some whom he considered his rruest friends in his rational days.
 At Crown King Wednesday night last he made things very disagree able for the employees at the mill who were on the night shift. He opened the furnace doors of the boilers fin or der to show them the picture of hell, extinguished the electric lights m and around the building, called on MT. Shurtleff for a large tub which he procured and filled full of cold wa ter, and stripped and took a bath in the same, lasting several minutes, out in the open air.
 Before attacked by insanity Mr. Kelly was as kind and genial a gentle man as could be met anywhere. In his younger days he held several positions of trust with business firms, and his services were always in demand. In 1892 he landed in Colorado, and start cd in the mining business, at which he was very successful, accommodating considerable fortune.
 He came to Arizona in 1903. and associated himself with the Grown King Mines Co. When he first mo- tieed his health failing, he took a trip to lower altitude, which did him much good. but his return to the heights of the Bradshaw mountains resulted in the loss of his mind. He is about 45 years of age, and unmar- ried. He is said to have relatives in the state of Nebraska.

SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
Plaintiff Is Proprietress of Hotel at
 Wickenburg.

Suit has been brought in the district court of Maricopa county by Grace McNeill against Dan McNein asking for divorce and something more, an order compelling the defendant to ab- stain from the hotel business. The par ties were married at Prescott in 1901. III treatment and physical assaults are alleged. Insulting accusations have been made to the plaintiff, on account of all of which she desires to live separate and apart from the defendant.
 The plaintiff states that she is the owner and proprietor of a hotel at Wiekenburg; that she paid for the pro- perty with money which she had before the marriage; that the defendant re- sides at the hotel and claims to De the proprietor. and insists that guests should settle with him rather than with the plaintiff He moreover says she lies when she pretends to be the owner of the property.
 Thus an uncertainty has been planted in the minds of the guests as to the proper person to pay, and in con- sequence the business of the hotel is falling off The plaintiff asks that the order of the court include an injunction to the husband to move off the pre- misses of the plaintiff.

SOMETHING DOING AT GRAND

 Between the Santa Fe's efforts to oust Ralph Cameron from his rights at the Grand Canyon and the busting of a number of residents from the forest reserve at that point by the interior department. the people out that way have begun to wonder if there is any place in this broad domain where a man may lie down to rest in peace says the William News.
 On the 27th of last month Ranger Fenton, acting under orders from the department, served notice on a mum. Der of railway employees at the Can yon, who had pitched their tents on the reserve opposite the Fl Tovar that they must move off As there are no other desirable residence locations near by except those on the reserve, the order will work quite a hardship Among those who are affected by the order are Conductor J.

| Al AOll . DAINsJ
 Charges of claim-iumping, threats to kill. and other unlawful acts are reeited in suit commenced yesterday by the Crown King Mines Co. against Charles B. Broan and T. M. Anderson. Incidentally the plaintiff desires tenn porary injunction issued against the defendants to restrain them from in terfering with plaintiffs agents going upon the ground in dispute and perfOr- ming assessment work.
 It is the Maggie Arros claim in the Pine Grove district, which is the bone of contention. The complaint reeItes that the claim was acquired from Ira Patrick, the original locator, who sub sequently filed two amended locations without surrendering any of the rights that he possessed. It is also stated that defendants afterwards filed loea- tions upon the same claim, and under took to work the property.
 Matters came to a crisis on August of this year, upon which date the plaintiff attempted to enter upon the claim with the object of performing the annual assessment work required by law. It is alleged that defendant Anderson refused to allow plaintiffs , agents to enter upon the ground. and

 The company therefore asks the court for a temporary injunction, that it be adjudged the owner, and entitled to the possession of the property, and, finally, that the injunction be made permanent.

A Special Crop Industry.
CORN ROOT WORM.
Unusual Amount of Damage From 1t
In the Central West.

Unusual Amount of Damage From Ii
In the Central West.
The opinion is freely expressed by
crop statisticians that the corn root
worm has done more than it's usual
amount of harm in the central west
this year. In many instances corn that
was supposed to have been lodged as a
result of heavy winds has upon exami-
nation been found to have had its roots
badly severed by this pest. The worst
attacks in every instance have been
found On spring plowed land follow
ing a crop of corn last year. In a few
cases where the crop was cut last
year and the land plowed in the fall
there has been no sign of root worm
depredations.
A Farmer Who Doesn't Fear 1t.
One of the most successful farmers
in the central west was asked recent
~ if his crop was injured to any ex-
tent by this insect. His reply was, Il
am not that kind of a farmer" When
pressed for his meaning he said that
any man that would grow corn year

it out in the fall and blowing the soil
in the spring, is entitled to but little
sympathy if his crop is damaged by a
pest of this character. He said that
he had farmed the same land for a
period of forty years and not in a
single instance during all this time had
trouble from the corn root worm.
Rotation and Fall Flowing.
There was no secret about the mat
ter, in the opinion Of this individual,
as one had to simply rotate his crops
in a common sense fashion. He point
ed out the Importance of blowing in
the fall wherever this was possible. In
the case of sod ground, by so doing
the following crop was much less liza
bic to be attacked by the cutworm,
there being little danger in this case
that the corn root worm would do any
harm.-Iowa Homestead.

The Potato Cron.

From Orange Judd Farmers report
on the potato crop it appears that the
yield in the states of heavy production
is much smaller than last season and
the crop, as a whole, less than for {,
number of years. Wisconsin and
Michigan have been hardest hit by
blight and rot. Conditions farthe-
east are relatively more favorable.
New York has a reasonably good crop.
The quantity is short in Maine, but
the quality exceptionally fine. The
shortage is very largely in the north
west, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota having scant 60,000,00C
bushels against 100000 last year
Prices quoted the country over the
second week in October range from as
low as 81 cents per bushel to 70 cents
The new crop is moving rapidly, yet
many growers show a disposition ia
hold for better prices. Potatoes OF
fine quality are being very freely ship
ped out from the Aroostook OIe) dis
trict at 40 to 80 cents Sixty to &C
cents has been paid in Oneida coun-
ty. N. Y, where rot has reduced the
crop.

structiOn and maintenance is to get
rid of the water and it's bad effects,
Three systems of drainage are needed:
First, tile or subdrainage Wher-
ever the soil is naturally wet from
ground water a line of four inch tile
should be laid to regular grade Iongi-
tudinally along the uphill side of the
road under the side ditch at a depth of
three or four feet.
Second, side bitches. A good, big
side ditch, built to a continuous grade
as determined by a road level, so that
the water will not stand in it at any
point, should be provided on each side
of the road. The road level should be
used to make sure that the ditch is
built to a grade which will not leave
ponds Of water in the bitches after
rains. All surface ponds should be
drained instead of trying to maintain
shallow entertainments subject to the
capillary action of water and to de-
struction by water and by muskrats.
Third, surface drainage. Proper
surface drainage, to shed the water
promptly into the side bitches, should
be provided by properly browning tie
road and by then keeping it hard and
smooth with a King road drag.
Earth roads will not maintain them
selves in good condition even if prop
erly built, but require frequent atten-
ton. Without such attention the wa
ter does not shed into side bitches.
They thus become impossible after
heavy storms and when the frost goes
out and are very rough for a long
while after such bad periods. The
work Of maintenance should be direct
ed toward keeping the road smooth
and hard and maintaining or increas-
ing the crown.
The best as we'll as the cheapest IL
strument we have found for this pur-
pose is the King road drag. Plans of
this simple and inexpensive device are
given in accompanying cuts.
After each rain drive up one side of
the wheel track and back on the other
side at least once with the drag in po-
