~ FHERE is she?
Where will we find her?
w / almost hear a Gordon of
men firing the question at my
defenseless head and laughing de-
risively that I should even have dared
to assert that even one woman in all
the wide world might possibly be
sifted out and labeled as being too
amiable.
, One word. however. in defense of
the proposition. The woman who is
too amiable is one-th.rd angel and
two-thirds fool, a combination that is
too weak to be managed, too good to
changed, and, in fact, too thoroughly
more or less negative not to entirely
obliterate her own light.
Woman, as a rule, has as many
tempers and caprlces as a race horse.
You cannot always gamble whether
she will be left at the post or come
, in Under the wire, but the actual femi-
nine tempers may be divided into two
distinct classes-the tabasco brand,
that does a hot screaming act, and the
soggy apple dumping kind, that set
ties down stubbornly in one spot, giving
you a terrific racket of indigestion
which you could not dislodge with a
root-raising derrick.

COMES TO CLAIM HER UNCLE's
ESTATE.
(From Fridays Daily)

Miss Nydia L. Boggs, with her mo
Their has come to Prescott from Tucson
to make further proof of her claims t.
the estate of the late Theodore W
Boggs.
As the result of many interesting
features, much interest has been aroused
in the Boggs estate. When the will
was first filed for probate threats were
made that relatives of Boggs, other
than Miss Nydia L. Boggs, would at
tempt to break the will.
In apportioning his property Boggs
cut off all his relatives but Miss Boggs
with 81 each. The list of those who
were numbered in this matter is large
one, and for a time it looked as if they
would organize to contest the will in
the courts.
An attorney did arrive in Prescott
from San Francisco and appeared be-
fore Probate Judge Hicks, entering a
protest to the probation of the will.
He was given ten days in which to
file cost bond for $500, but failed.
and the protest dropped to the ground.
Theodore W. Boggs was one of the
pioneers of the territory, owning a
large amount of valuable property in
the Big Bug district of Yavapai coun-
ty, including the Butternut mine.
Last June Boggs and Miss Nydia
L. Boggs left the formers home to
drive to Mayer, but when they reach
ed Arizona City the horse ran away,
throwing Boggs out of the buggy and
breaking his neck. He. died within
ten minutes after receiving the injury.
One of the strange features of this
ease is that Boggs made the will leav-
ing all the property of Nydia L. Boggs
but a few days before his sudden
death.
In the will Boggs started out by say
ing that he appreciated the uncertain
ty of human life, and believed it best
then and there to make his last will
and testament. 1t has often been won
Tered if Boggs had premonition of
MS approaching end, and wrote the will
because he feared the end might come
shortly.
1t is not certain yet that relatives of
Boggs will not make an attempt to
Freak the will on the grounds that he
vas not in his right mind, and that
Miss Nydia L. Boggs unduly infu-
need him in the making of it.
When the first protest was fled it
vas charged in the petition that Miss
3oggs had Influenced Boggs before,
md at the time he made his will, this
influence being for the purpose of
ausing him to leave all his poperty
o her, and to cut off all the other re-
atives with but 81 each.
The Boggs estate consists almost
ntirely of mining property and min
ng stock. Estimates of the estate
lace it all the way between $4,000
o s15O,OOO.

PARK PLANNED FOR MOUNT YER
NON STREET.
(From THURSDAYS Dailv.N

AIEOm luuTSudN Ddlly-)
A beautiful park running throrg
the center of Mount Vernon street, j
one of the possibilities of the nea- fu
ture. Plans have been drawn an,
the property owners are discussing tn
proposed improvements with keen in
terest.
"Speaking of the grading of Mount
Vernon street." said F. NJ Murphy t.
a Journal-Miner representative yester
day, "I made a suggestion to some Of
the resident property owners along
that thoroughfare that it would add
much to the beauty of that vicinity
and the city, in fact, to make a park
in the center of the street, in each block
about 30 feet in width, bordered with
shade trees and ornamental shrubs,
with grass as a main feature. A few
seats here and there might be aided
later, and a fence erected around the
plot to keep out any stray cattle that
might happen along" he continued,
"until such time as that part of the
city grew in population to an extent
that cattle would not be allowed to run
loose in the vicinity any longer"
In the course of the interview he said
that he had seen many drives of the
kind suggested in cities visited in his
travels, and thought that if the matter
was brought to the attention of our
citizens in a proper manner that the
suggestion would meet with favor.
Mr.. Murphy further explained that
Mount Vernon street was better suited
for park of this kind than any street
in the residence portion of Prescott on
account of its uniform grade and the
good background afforded the PARK by
the many beautiful residences on eth
er side.
Plans for the proposed improvement
can be seen in the office of the city
engineer The blocks along Mount
Vernon street are about 600 feet in
length, and the general design contem-
plates a park in each block about 500
feet in length and 80 feet in width,
bordered with shade trees and shrubs,
and sown in grass, with narrow gravel
or cement walks along the sides. This
would leave a driveway on each side
of the park of about 25 feet in width,
which is ample for all purposes on this
street
The maintenance of three parks of
this character would be of very small
expense to the city, and the construe-
ton of them would add another inter
esting feature to the many attractions
pf the city.
Mr.. Murphy's suggestion is an excel
lent one, and should be heartily en-
dorsed and acted upon by the proper
ty owners on Mount Vernon street. Such
a park would add 80 per cent to the va
Iue of the property, and it would be to
Prescott what the beautiful panhandle
is to San Francisco.

Jail and dead by reason of the vigilance
and energy of these men while acting
in an official capacity.
Stillwell did not bear a good reputa-
ton by reason of the fact that he was
known to be in sympathy with and had
many friends among the bad men of
the section, and was known to have
kept them posted on the movements of
the Earps and Holiday. Stillwen was
never openly accused of the murder of
Morgan carp and was not arrested.
A few weeks later, however, he
quietly left Tombstone, and in getting
off the train at the depot at Tucson in
the night time he was assassinated. By
way of coincidence Virgil and Wyatt
carp and Doc Holiday arrived in Tue
son on the following morning. Neither
of the Earps nor Doc Holiday were
ever arrested for the killing of Still
well, although it was quietly limited
that they had some hand in the mat
ter. After the Stillwell episode the
Earps and Holiday disbanded, Wyatt
carp going to Cotton, Cal, where he
was elected chief of police, this town
at that time being in disturbed condi-
ton. About ten years ago Virgil
carp returned to this county and en-
gagged in mining in the Hassayampa
district, subsequently moving to
Kirkland valley distict. In the wear
1900 he was nominated for sheriff by
the Republican party, but shortly af-
forwards withdrew from the race.
During his stormy career as an off
Ger in Tombstone he always had the

ladies objected to the locking of the
door, in which Marie Power got bump
ed on the forehead so hard that a swell
ing as large as hem egg was the re-
suit. Esther Powers claims that ON
this occasion A. J. Daggs elinehed
with her and threatened her with a
pistol which he exhibited in a very
threatening manner, and also kicked
and otherwise abused her.
Both of the Daggs brothers claim
that the case is one of blackmail pure
and simple. They exhibit the follow
ing agreement signed by Esther Pow
ers, in support of their side of the case:

$25, part payment on an agreement of
settlement of $50, of which am to
receive the balance Saturday evening,

ment is in full for hugging and kiss
ing me on the evening of October II,

further liberty with me, that win

for said action. ESTHER POWER.

true
A. ]. Daggs also claims that when
the two women entered the office on
Wednesday afternoon that he was in
another room, that he came into the
room where they were, and ordered
them to leave, telling them that he did
not want to have anything to do with
them. They both refused to leave,
whereupon he pushed them out of the
door and into the hall, and that this
was the only time that either he or his
brother took hold of them in any way.
R. E. Daggs states that the women
were trying to blackmail him. He ad-
mlts that he did hug and kiss Miss
Marie Powers, and that she seemed to
like it, and that this is as far as the
matter went. He also claims that the
sisters called on him the morning after
this happened, and asked him for
money to keep the matter quiet,
which after whole lot of parley, he
agreed to give them $50 to keep the
matter to themselves. He says that he
paid them $25 of this amount, and
lgred to pay them the balance on Sat
friday last.
When they called on Saturday for
,ull settlement he asked for further
line, and they agreed to call again on

Suits brought in the state of Wash

lands located by forest reserve scrip
obtained from agents of Hyde, Ben

a large number of owners of valuable
