Lost His Sp0nduIix.

Henry Habercorn, living on one Of
the Hecht farms seven miles northwest
of town, is out $25 and it all happened
in a most peculiar fashion. While out
feeding the hogs the other day, he
had his Wallet, containing check
for $3.50, S25 in bills and about "a in
silver, in his pocket. About nine
O'Clock that night he missed his wallet
and search was instituted at once.
The missing "spondulix" was found
in the hog trough in sad condition.
The pigs had possibly taken the check
and bills for new delioacy and had
chewed them all to pieces while the
silver appeared to be slightly too hard
for even q pig to eat, anyway the silver
and tiny bits of paper were all there
was left to tell the tale. The check
can probably be duplicated all right,
but the $25 is beyond repair. Charles

Barred From the Mails.

The Modern Woodman, the official
organ of the great fraternal organiza-
tion bearing its name, has been barred
from the U. S. mails as second class
matter. The reason is not given. 1t
is singular that all the publications Of
it's kind have not been treated like
wise. Their subscription lists are not
handled like those of ordinary papers
and magazines. The ruling of the
postoffice department regarding sub
scriptions lists is quite exacting and
is necessarily so in order to shut out
publications that are circulated ex-
clusively for advertising purposes. Eek.

Kleptomaniac at Waverly.

Bert Stephenson, upon whose place
lot of stolen robes, whips and blank
cts were found few. weeks ago, was
busy again Monday night. When
Emil Walther, who had his horse hitch
ed on the street, went to it to start for
home, he found that a robe with
which he had protected the animal was
missing. He reported the loss to De-
putty Sheriff Irv Parrott, who, learn
ing that Stephenson had been in town,
at once connected his presence here
with Walther's loss. A scar ch warrant
was issued and served upon Stephenson
at his home later in the evening. He
at first denied taking the robe, but
finally admitted having done so. He
did not have it in his possession,
however, having thrown it away on
his way out of town. He told the
officer that it might be found hanging
on post in front of J. G. Messinger's
place, and returning to town, the
officer found it at the place described.
Stephenson was arrested on the
charge of petty larceny, and paid a
fine and costs amounting to $40 in
Justice Fortner's court the following
day. AS in other instances, his latest
theft was purely case Of klepto.
mania. He stole for the pure love
of stealing, throwing away his loot
after he had made safely Off with it.

The Grand Canyon Of Arizona.
Continued from LIST page.

OOntlnueu tfOm ISL page.
To descend these rugged walls to
the river is no very easy task. Never
theless, the trip is well worth its
hardships. There are four routes by
which the descent may be made-the
Grand View, the Bright Angel, the
Mystic Spring and the Hance trails.
1t is almost impossible to say which
is the easiest, for they are all hard.
The Bright Angel Trail, however, is
the one most frequently travelled.
This is probably because it leaves the
Ell Tovar Hotel, which is located at
the canyon end of the Santa Fe rail-
road branch. The Grand View Train
which is also quite well patronized is
reached by drive of thirteen miles
east from Tovar, and to the Mystic
Spring Trail it is drive of twenty
three miles west. There are also
other trails of lesser note, but it is
very seldom that tourists select them.
The trip down the trail is usually
made on ponies or burros. These are
obtained at the starting point, and an
experienced guide accompanies each
party. The parties are made mp of
women as we'll as men, and in fact
there are usually as many of one as
there are of the other.
The trip down the Grand View
Trail is started upon at mile and a
half west of the Grand View Hotel.
The view from the starting point is
excellent and the trail for some
distance is very good and easily
travelled. Then it commences to run
in a zig gag manner. 1t becomes

and with a firmer grip than ever upon

winding path as it descends farther in
to the labrynth of gorges. The party
rides in single file, and for long dis
tances, where the trail is most danger

When we'll down the trail the route
becomes so rough that the animals
have to be abandoned and the re-
mainder of the trip to the river is
made on foot. The party then clam
