CUMBERLAND COUNTY FAIR.

A great many Adair county people
attended the Fair at Burkesville last
week, reporting that it was a success
in every particular. With the eXcep-
ton of the first day the attendance was
large. On Wednesday and Thursday
four and six thousand people were up
on the grounds. The very best of or
der prevailed Throughout the entire eX-
hibition, and the cordial greetings of
old friends brought smiles to many
faces. The people Of Burkesville and
vicinity are known for their hospitality,
and upon this occasion the latch string
at every door was upon the outside.
The residents of Columbia, who were
in attendance, are loud in their praises
of the people of Burkesville and Cum
berland county. The officers of the
Association extended many cOurticies,
and it goes without saying the kind
treatment received was highly .appre-
ciated. This was the first exhibition
for Cumberland county, and its success
is guarantee of an annual show. All
honor to this moral exhibition and the
instigators Of it.

THE GUpT0N-VAUGHAN TROUBLE.

There has been so many different re-
ports about little difficulty that oc-
Cured at Greensburg a few days ago,
we reproduce the statement published
by the Record, in that town, in order
that the friends of the parties who
were evolved may know the facts.
The Records statement is far different
from reports that reached here, put
ting all the blame upon Mr.. Vaughan:
"Our town was startled Monday
morning by breach of peace proceed
ings in which rocks, penknife and
Mauser carbine figured prominently in
the hands of the most unsupported per-
sons. The testimony revealed the fact
that the penknife was used in self de-
fence by Clarence Vaughan against d,
E. Gupton armed with rocks who was
the aggressor. The Mauser was brought
forth by John Vaughan when he saw D.
E. Gupton following his brother. The
younger Gupton was cut on the left
shoulder blade and a slight scratch like
cut extending from above the left ear
down behind the ear and round under
the jaw to below the chin. The charges
against John Vaughn were not upheld
by jury; those against the elder Gupton
and Clarence Vaughan were dismissed,
while David Gupton confessed judg-
ment. The primary cause Of the trou-
BILE was the night previous when Clarence
used language at which David took
offense.

BONDS LOST AT TUCSON
Failed of Necessary Majority by
 27 Votes

Tucson, Ariz., March 29.-Amid scenes of excitement which have never been known here before even in the heat of the hottest political campaigns the proposition to issue $2O0,OO0 worth of bonds for the ,ex. tension of the water mains of Tue son was defeated by twenty-seven votes, two-thirds being necessary. Six special policemen maintained order and prevented physical en- counters. The election was exceed ingly bitter and arrest followed ar rest. The local justices did tre- mendous business and when the smoke cleared away this evening it was found that thirty persons had been arrested for alleged receiving of bribes, one saloonist for alleged bribe giving, and ten of the leading saloon keepers for having their sa- looms open during election hours.
 The warrants were sworn to by Mayor L. H. Manning. The sa- loonists retaliated by arresting the mayor on four different charges. all of them alleging false imprison. ment of the saloon keepers.
 George P. Meyers, inspector at the polls, was twice arrested on warrants charging him with refus- ing to allow qualified voters to cast their ballots. All of the parties ar- rested were promptly released on bail. Their cases will come up for hearing next week. Should con- victions be secured the jails will be populated with prominent citizens.

 Yes. that is a fact; Sellars locked us in. but the superintendent came around and said we ought to go to Phoenix, so Sellars let us out and we hiked.
 We crossed the Gila river in a row boat and swam our horses. At Agua Calienta we met quite num- Der of our old friends and stayed there a few days. From there to Phoenix we passed through Arling ton and Buckeye. There is another fine farming country, and if they had a railroad it could not be beat.
 In Phoenix we met quite a num- Der of the woolgrowers of Coconino county who have. heen shearing down there, and have been invest ing in considerable real estate.
 Things begin to look better in Phoenix, and Maricopa county will always be the banner county in Arizona when it comes to farming.
 We stopped at Mayer two days; in mining industry that camp takes the cake. There has been more mining machinery taken into that vicinity in the last two years than any other part of Arizona, and everything looks prosperous.

SANTA FEE NOT WORRIED
Salt Lake Road Plans New Route
 to Grand Canyon

The executives of the Salt Lake road are now contemplating new route over which to build pro- posed branch to Grand Canyon. It was originally the intention to run spur from a point south of Cali ente to the canyon, distance of thirty five miles. says the Los An geles Herald.
 The new plans are to build from a point southwest of Milford, Utah, in a southeasterly direction to a point near Lees Ferry, thirty miles north of the point where the Santa Fe touches the canyon.
 This route will be between sev- enty-five and hundred miles long, but it will reach a better part of the canyon from scenic point of of view than the shorter line. Not only this, but it will touch min ing district in Utah that has been successfully prospected for some time, but has not been opened up on account of the lack of transpor- tation facilities.
 The Santa Fe does not anticipate any noticeable decrease in their Grand Canyon business when the Salt Lake branch is completed. One of the higher passenger officials said last week that it was his opinion that the Salt Lake would do a good business, but that the traffic to the canyon would be increased on ac. count of the different points from which the two roads get their pas sengers.

PEOPLE CHOOSE
 TOWN OFFICERS
Election Last Monday
 Was Warmly Contested

Following on the heels of the school election of last Saturday, at which time more than unusual in- terest was shown by the vote, the town election held on Monday, April 2, was hummer.
 For the offices of councilmen there were eleven candidates in the field, which fact gave the voters a wide range as to choice, and that they availed themselves of the opportu- nity is manifested by the vote.
 Three men were out for marshal, two for town clerk and two for street supervisor. The fact that there was more than one candidate for each office made the contest in- teresting, and the man who could rustic the most votes stood to be elected.
 The election was held in the town hall, the following persons cOmpos- ing the election board:
 Inspector S. Teeple.
 Judges-Albert Lebsch and V. H. Melick.
 Clerks-R. M. Reese, c. F. Lopez and R. A. Morrow.

 As stated above, great interest was shown, and the vote of PAS against 22S of two years ago showed that fact. Following is the vote cast:

The Blue Ruby.
A Fairy Story.
by RUTH WILLIAMSON.

Everybody knew that there was no more
honest boy in the whole land than Pimpa-
nello. Therefore, why he should have been
accused of stealing the kings great Blue
Ruby is hard to understand. Pin was
probably even more surprised than any one
else when a heavy hand was laid upon
his shoulder and the high gardener said:
You are arrested in the kings name.
PIN looked I'D with smile. He thought
the high gardener was fooling. But the
man looked stern, and PIN knew he was
not n favorite with the high gardener. PIN
could make flowers bloom almost al his
bidding He was so fond of them, and
the high gardener Jealous of his
power Only short time before the
princess had desired some blue roses. which
PIN managed to get for her. after the
high gardener had declared 1t was impossi-
bic. Therefore, II was with great pleas
use that the high gardener arrested PIN
and led him before the magistrate. He
knew PIN would be discharged. and prob
ably banished from the kingdom.
PIN protested his innocence. II don't
even know what ruby is, he said in
dignantly. to the high gardener. rs 1t

Dogs forsoothi" exclaimed the garden

Snow Sport.

A delightful game to play in the winter
holidays when the long hours drag within
doors, is Snow Fox and Geese.
very slight snowfall will suffice for the
game, but it may be played with snow a
foot deep in a city backyard or in the field
of the country. The game is prepared by
the boys who, first, with high boots,
trample in the snow a huge circle with six
or eight diametirc paths, as the size of the
lot may allow. After these paths are clear
ly marked the fun begins Any number
may join in the sport. 1t is like the old
story Of THE Spider and the Fly" One
person stands in the center OF the circle
and dashes up and down the diametric
paths to seize upon the others as they fly
round the circle. The players can venture
into the center If they are so daring, but
if caught they become the spider and dash
for another victim. The one who is CATCH
ing cannot walk around the circumference,
but Is confined to the central paths.
Snow Baby Is another funny game. A
smooth path of snow is selected and as
many holes or dens are prepared as there
are players. The dens are made by SCOOP
ing up a little snow to form hollow
place about as big as two-quart bowl.
Each person selects den, which he calls
his, and near which he stands. circle
Is marked lightly in the snow around the
group of dens and all take their stand
within the circle, each near his own den.
About six feet off one person is chosen,
who losses q SNOWFALL into any one of the
dens. The person into whose den it falls
picks the ball up quickly and tries to hit
some one Of the party, who all start to
run as soon as a ball lands in den. If
the one aimed at is hit he drops a stone
into his den and becomes the one to throw
the ball into the den of some one else. This
Is repeated until one of the players has
six stones in his den, when he is declared
beaten. If at any time the one throwing
the ball from his den toward some one
fails to hit the one he aims at, a stone is
put into his den and he becomes the one
to throw the ball. Unless there is a crust
on the ground this game cannot be played
in snow more than foot deep.
