/ RANCHMAN'S COLUMN 5

Edited by Hon. D. e. Newcomn.


Edited by Hon. d. f. Newcomb.
The publisher of this paper has
kindly granted one column TO the
discussion of topics in which the
ranchman is especially interested.
Ii is needless to say that he will
not be held responsible for any
thing that may here appear. but if
he will pay close attention week
after week. he may be able to APP
preciate some of the trials of his
hayseed subscribers. We don't
propose to quote poetry or mix up
in politics.
Every farming community has
its own local problems to solve.

lose sight of the interest OF the
community and are apt to become
selfish moss backs.
No man has the right to live for
himself alone If he is man he
must be man among men. and
willing to do his duty and his
whole duty to the community in
which he lives.
The ranchman is interested in
schools. in roads. in the destruc-
tion of noxious weeds. in rcscr-
yoirs. in state and local fairs. in
telephones and many other things
that are commercial i'll character.
1t has too often happened that
some enterprising neighbor has to
shoulder the communities burden,
or the communities suffers. This
is wrong A man who will not
perform his share of community
work and enterprise should re-
ceive none of its benefits.
STATE FAIR.
1t is reported that our county
commissioners have appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose of collect

istensen of Manassa, who assisted
in the exhibition of Colorado pro-
ducts at the Worlds Fair at st.

to solist specimens of our farm
products and take charge of the

being spent for the welfare of the

that he was disappointed in the
size of Plymouth Rock. 1t has
never occurred to us whether Ply

high. All we know of that rock is
that one cold winters morning
when the new fallen snow was
about foot deep a lot of people
landed there from row boats and
started to grow up with the coun-

growing up to the present time.

TIGERS A PUBLIC MENACE.
People and Stock Arc Killed by Saw age Beasts in Mexican
 Territory.

T1gers. driven from their nountain lairs in the territory of Topic by the scarcity of food, ooutiaue to ravage the haeiendas of the valleys. They are be- coming such a general danger, says tho Mexican Herald. that the municipal au- thorities have offered a reward of SIS for avery tigers skin.
 For tue past several mouths great 1umbers of tae animals have swarmed through the marshes ot the lowlands along the coast and in the valleys of the territory Of Topic, having been driven out of the states of Sinaloa and Sonora by tho floods and the axtremsl cold weather. Tue damage caused to the haciendados and the danger tn- surred by the presence of the animals was such chat many of them offered rewards for the skins of tho animals some time ago
 The tigers, however seem to like the warm weather and the good food that thsy are getting in Topic and instead of deoreastns their numbers have greatly increased within the last few weeks, Now the municipal authorities of the territory have also offered reward for the skins of the animals
 The tigers have become SO bold that they will enter the houses on the plan tations and help themselves to what. ever comes in their path. Several deaths are reported in different parts of the territory. In many sections of the state It is necessary to have armed guards stationed at night, to insure tho safoty of tho other people in tha settlements,
 Live stock ia suffering moro than anything eIse. With the slight pro- visions that arc necessary for the shet- ter of the stock, 1t leaves them ia most cases without any protsstion at all from ths beasts. HveA the presence of nanerous guards around . bunch of cattle ts oftsntimes insu0cisnt to keen the tissrs from setting away with aa animal or. two from along the edxss sf the hsrA.
 Muatin9 for the antaals has beea greatly stimulated by tho otrsrs of tho government and scores of hunters arc securing the country for them.

LOVE LEADS TO REcAPTURE.
Powers Broke Out of Jail, Tried to Sc:
 His Wife, and Was Recaptured.

New York, Jan. 13.-Love for his bride of a few morths caused thc cap tuIe Of Frank Powers. alias Arthur Delatere. known as the sleeping bur glar." who pried his way out of the Mount Vernon Police Station early Thursday morning and escaped.
 The message which Powers sent to his wife through a former friend was carried to Chief of Police Foley. h. stead of meeting his wife, as te cx- pec;ed, Powers got out of bed at mid night Saturday and opened the door of his room in East One Hundred aud Seventy-ninth street, Bronx, to let the police in. As he did, Chief Foley and Detective AcwelI covered him with re- volvers and made him throw up his hands.
 You don't need to shoot" Powers cried. I'll surrender"
 The fugitive was handcuffed and taken back to Mount Vernon, where he is confined in a cell. A guard is sta toned outside of the cell, and will re- main there until the prisoner is land ed in the county jail at White Plains.
 Powers said:
 It's a.s easy for me to open one of these cell doors as it is to open a can Of tomatoes. That unconscious bluff of mine fooled the police, and while they were sticking pins in me to see if I was really insensible, I was framing up the best way to make my escape I yanked the hook down from the ceii- ing and pried open the lock. It didn't take a minute, and was done without any noise. ran through the cellar to the front of the station and got out of the window I saw Sergeant Grant and Detective Conlin pass me in sleigh. Later I met a friend and he consented to take a message to my wife telling her to meet. me at my room in One Hundred and Seventy-ninth street :ij midnight. That friend peaciI- cd and took my message to Chief Fo- ley for the reward offered for me"
 It is thought Powers can be convict co for a score of burglaries committed in Mount Vernon.

DEATH OF ADOLPH SOLOMON
 In the death of Adolph Solomon st Stafford Monday of this week one of the pioneers ot Arizona passed to the unknown land of the hereafter. Es- pecially in southern Arizona he stood among the leading business men for many years. When very young man he entered the store of his brother, l.. E Solomon, at Selomonville,, Ora ham county, when the Gila valley was yet unknown. He was made postmaster of the first postotfice ever established in the Gils valley; he assisted in taking out tine first canals and was prominent figure in that section when the legislature created Graham county in 1881. In 1882 he was elected to the assembly from Graham county.
 When the Southern Pacific railroad reached Bowie station -Adolph Solo, mon. I. E. Solomon and D. W. Wick ershem established store at that place undsr the firm name of Solomon, Wickersham & company. This busi- ness became one of the largest in the territory and in the early days the firm handled large government contracts, supplying the military posts in this part of the territory during the various h. dian campaigns; during the last cam paign which proceeded the capture of Old Geronimo this firm had the con- tract to deliver supplies in the field. The business at Bowie still continues though the wholesale house has been moved to Stafford, where the death of Mr. Solomon occurred.
 Adolph Solomon was man who had the respect and confidence of all with whom he came in contact; he was of an unusually jolly disposition ana noted for his extreme liberslity and constancy to his friends His death will be cause for universal sorrow both in Arizona and in Fl Paso, where he has made his home for the last dozen years.
 Mir. Solomon leaves a large estate, consisting of valuable property in Ari- zons, California and Texas.

IT MEANS MUCH

The splendid rains which hare fallen in Arizona during the fall and winter means much for the prosperity of the territory; it means that the cattle and agricultural interests of the territory will be unusually prosperous during the present year.
 The continued rains of the past few days mean that there has been heavy SHOW falls in the Mogollon mountains and other ranges in New Mexico and it means that this sDow will come down gradually during the spring and early summer months giving to the Gila river abundant water fer jrriga- ton. Plentiful water for irrigation in the valley will mean cheaper nay sup ply for DoSslss and the mining camps, and cheaper grain.
 The stockmen and farmers certainly are to be congratulated on the outlook for better prosperity. Last year was unusually severe on the cattle and agricultural industries of Arizona be- cause of the long continued drouth which lasted from Setember to June.
 The mining camps gre unusually prosperous at this time because of the splendid price of copper and now if the other principal industries are to be favored with plenty of grass and water indeed ths present year prOpises to become $ record breaker for the territory. ~.x
