II. r. PATRICK PLEADS GUILTY
H. r. Patrick said yesterday that
people need not waste any time trying
to find out what caused the late Cave
| Greek floods. He says he is responsible
for them and he did it just to spite the
country. He says he has been trying
/ to bolster up a good roads movement
with poor success, for a long time and
he just wanted to show how bad the
roads are liable to become any time.
He says ne is preparing bill for pres
entation in the legislature to encourage
good roads and if it don't pass he'll
turn the Grand canyon down this way.
A NEW BANK OFFICIAL-At a
meeting of the board of directors of
the Prescott National Bank last Sat
urday A. w. McCash was elected as
sistant cashier to succeed w c.
Brandon, who recently resigned. Mr..
McCash is a. banker of experience hav-
ing received a thorough trimming in
the Second National and Merchants
National banks of Cincinnati. Mr. Nc
Cash had been connected with the
Prescott National for about two years.
His promotion last Saturday was a
substantial recognition of ability and
meritorious services,
GARDEN SEED HERE-The farm
ers and truck gardeners that depend OH
the agricultural department for their
garden seed may now rejoice for the
annual distribution is at hand. Yes
terday secretary Wand der Veer of the
board of trade received a big mail sack
full of seed, direct from Washington,
for free distribution among those who
want il. Each package of seed con-
tains five smaller packages in which
are kale, lettuce, onion, tomato. and
beet seed. If there is nothing there
that suits the reader he is privileged
to wait until next year. If there is
anything he does want he should call
early and avoid the rush.
NO DAMAGE DONE-As far as
could be learned yesterday no damage
was done by the unusually cold wea-
Their of Sunday night w. A. Wilson
said he was almost afraid to get up
yesterday morning for fear he would
find all his orange trees frozen to death
but when he did get up everything was
all right and not even the castor beans
were nipped and they are less imper-
vious to the cold than the orange trees.
A. c. Mcqueen of Mesa said the only
thing he saw on the south side that
appeared to have felt the frost, We're
the grain fields some of which were
considerably nipped. 1t is believed
though that a little setback will be all
the better for them as some of the
grain was most too far advanced for its
own good.
A SUIT FOR DIVORCE-Suit for
divorce was filed in district court yes
terday by Clara E. Williams against
Isaac Wilson Williams on the ground
of cruelty and failure to support. The
parties were married in this county in
1892. The cruelty of the husband ac-
cording to the complaint began cou-
pie of years later and continued with
brief intermissions until less than a
year ago when the wife unable TO en-
dure it any longer left him. It is al
legged that he assaulted her on var
ious occasions and once knocked her
down. That was the last straw on the
cameTs back and she left him. There
are two children, boys, one nine years
old and the other seven. The mother
asks for the custody of them. She al
