THOUGHT OF

Since the jury in her trial reported
a disagreement more than tho weeks
ago in New York Nan Patterson has
been in receipt of large number of
letters every day. In her mali few
days ago there was registered letter
from man in Portland, Ore, inclos-
ing S25 with the request that she use
the money to purchase herself New
Year token. The letter said Miss Pat
terson had many sympathizers in the
west who believe her innocent and
concluded: eff you need more mo-
ney, send the word. -
Miss Patterson gave the s25 to her
father, saying, "Take this and buy

TO TRAFFIC BY
Storm of the Past Three
Days
WashOut in Near Vicinity of
Phoenix Ties up North Bound
Passenger Train.

The storm continued during all of
Wednesday, although in somewhat of
an intermittent form, being more like
March than January weather. Violent
gusts of wind accompanied by heavy
fall of snow, lasting for several min
utes would be followed by lulI in
the wind and few minutes of sun
shine and these alternating periods
continued during the day, the storm
periods being of sufficient force to
keep quite current of water in the
street cutters.
The railroad has been the principal
sufferer by the storm. At Superin-
tendeat W. A. Brakes office on We'd
nesday morning reports had been re-
ceived from all points on the syste m,
and showed a condition of affairs not
very encouraging. Between Ash Fork
and Prescott and the P. & E. line be-
tween Prescott aud Mayer and the Pc
land branch, had withstood the flood
waters without any damage, and the
track is in fine condition.
Numerous small washouts were re-
ported between A. & c. Junction and
Phoenix, many of them having been
repaired, but two quite heavy washouts
we're reported in the vicinity of
Phoenix, one about three miles out
and the other between the jackson
street station and the Capitol addition
station.
On account of these breaks the regu-
lar north bound passenger train was
unable to leave Phoenix yesterday.
The road bed in many other places,
along the line, was reported to be
quite soft and it was not considered
safe to run night trains. The south
bound train OH Tuesday night arrived
in Prescott several hours late ard on
account of the storm conditions was
held here until 9:15 on Wednesday
morning.
The Phoenix 4 Eastern branch has
however been the heaviest suffs
both bridges across the ella and one
across Mineral creek, having been
practically washed out by the floods.
The ella is reported much higher than
it was at any time during the flood
preiod last summer and in fact higher
than it has been for years.
The Crown King branch has also
suffered heavily, the train on Tuesday
being unable to get beyo Middleton
on account of rock slides on the
mountain side.
While no definite information wa!
received from the A. & c. it is sup
posed that it was damaged some a
that entire section was covered witt
water being converted into a veritabl,
lake. The work train was taken from
that branch and placed in the repai
service of the main line as no regula
trains are running on the branch anC
whatever damage has been sustained
can he repaired when convenient.

from The time OF Columbus to the ef.
fect that somewhere among tie numer.
Gus Gays Of the Caribbean sea there
exists al island inhabited only by wo-
men.
The aboriginal Caribs and ARRIVALS
found 1t incoDvenient to have women
around in times OF war. Usually when
tie enemy conquered a number of the
tribes fairest maidens were carried
or. SO goes the story.
The deplorable possibility of losing
al the women OF the tribe was averted,
however, by the prompt action of the
chiefs, who ordered all Of the remain
Ing female element to this unknown
tslaud in the~ Caribbean. According TO
the legend, the place Is copiousiy
watered by IDEAL streams, oyershad-
owed by breadfruit, mango plantain
aud all the necessarles to life and
poetry. The husbands { nd lovers wers
allowed TO visit the island paradise not
more than twice year in times Of
peace.
But 1t is further handed down that
all the men Of the tribe were even.
naliS wiped out in an Indian war and
that al trace Of the isle OF women was

One day the weasel was seen busily

mill. He was engaged for some time.
but later appeared again in the mill,
seeking his old enemy lie soon found
him and at once renewed hostillties
AS usual, after lively tussle, the rat
proved too much for him, and he ran,
