 Neighbors has a gash clear across the back of his neck and an eye black ened and bruised and a number of other injuries. He finally succeeded in breaking away and ran for his gun which he had left in his chaps at George Lobb's livery stable. He re- turned up the street and meeting MT Lee coming in the opposite direction he ordered him to stop Lee kept on coming and Ne 'ghbors shot and missed, but the second shot penetrated the heart and Lee fell. dead. The cor oner's inquest found a verdict of jus titiable homicide. and Neighbors was liberated. Sheriff Wills was notified and he went to Superior, returning with MT. Neighbors in charge.
 The dead man was a prospector and a single man, formerly from Texas, and about 50 years of age.

ADJUSTMENTS


This evening the Eastlake Stock company will present for the first time in the west the beautiful western drama written for. and made famous by the well known actor Lewis Nor risOn, who is better known for his ren- dition of Mephisto in the play of Faust" MT Morrison used the play for some time, but found the double role of Rex Sterling and Red Feather the twin brothers, too severe a strain on his mental powers, and he was com pelled to abandon the play and return to the play that made him (and he made) famous. Faust" The plot of the play centers in two Indians. Rex Sterling who has been adopted by General Sterling and educated at an eastern college. and Red Feather. his twin brother, who remains a blanket Indian The dual role of the twin. brothers will be played by Lee Beggs who will be ably assisted by the fol- lowing cast: Allen. Leach. MT. Hen derson; Bill Ward. a scout. R. A. Ben nett; General Sterling. Ned Barring ton; Captain Rob Dudley, Harry Earl; War Eagle, Franklyn Hall; Gladys Sterling Miss Maud Lita; Dorothy Sutton, Myrtle Harrington; Aunt Chloe Ethel McMullen. The opening scenes of the play are laid in Washington. D. C.. and later shift to the western plains. It is a beautiful story, and shows the beneficial effects of educa- ton on the Indian as compared with the blanket state. The play will run for the first three nights of the week Prices, 10 20. 30 and 50 cents. Seats on sal2 at Sauichas'.

 DEATH OF JOHN EAGAN-John Eagan. familiarity known to his friends as Jack Eagan, died Saturday night at the Sisters hospital of tuberculosis. He was a young man of perhaps twenty five years and has been here a year or two. A sister has been with him for some time past and another sister died here a year or two ago. The funeral will be held this morning at s o'clock at the Catholic church.
 SOLD RANGE ORSES-Frank McCIintock returned yesterday from his range near Payson. having been in that vicinity since. April, engaged in gathering horses. drvng them to Globe and selling them. He says it is the first season in several years that he has found a market for range horses and that together with the fine condition of the ranges. naturally pleases himself and others engaged in similar business.
 A FIGHTING DRUNK-Constable Redwine yesterday afternoon arrested a Mexican in the alley in the rear of the Palace saloon who had in his pos session the biggest kind of a fighting drunk, accompanied by noise and pro- fanity enough for a whole battalion of drunks. The officer had to secure the services of a citizen to help drag the man to jail and with every step he grew more and more excited and pro- fane. It looked for time as though he would have to be clubbed into silence but he was finally lodged with out resort to desperate measures. NOT so VERY CRAZY-In yester- days issue of The Republican mention was made of the arrest of a man named Raymond for drunkenness and that Justice Johnstone later preferred charge of insanity against him on which he is to appear in probate court today. Yesterday a man. for whom Raymond had been working for the last five years called at the sheriff S office and said that he had never con- sidered him crazy though he was not very bright mentally. He had shown no signs of alteration about his work though he had noticed that Raymond's conduct and conversation were queer when he got a little liquor in him.

HOG MONEY!.
Origin of the Curious Old Brass
Coins of Bermuda.

Origin of the Curious Old Brass
Coins of Bermuda.
"Hog money" is the name by which
the brass money which began to be
struck in Bermuda in 1850 came to be
known. On one face a it was hog,
on the other a ship Of that period.
These old coins are very rare and high
ly priced by collectors
The history Of this deVSe Is curious
and interesting. A Spanish vessel,
commanded by Juan Bermudez, on Its
way to Cuba with q cargo Of hogs, was
wrecked there. This was in 1915. Lat
err in the same century, when the Eng
liSh discovered this land, they found a
country inhabited by hogs.
1t is also interesting to note that the
English discovered it in the same way
as the Spaniards. An English ship
was wrecked there. Is 1t any wonder
that the treacherous coast got from
Spanish and English alike the name of
Devils Land? Yet it is one Of the
most beautiful coasts in the world, and
1t has been claimed that In brilliancy
Mediterranean effects are not at all
equal to those of Bermuda.
Bermuda Is said to be the island of
Shakespeare's Tempest" The strange
noises which mariners heard coming
from this island, and which they did
not then know were produced by hogs,
caused them to say that it was haunt
ed and to report weird things Of it,

CARE GOOD ROAD
VALUE or "HoNlNe" ITS SURFACE
AFTER A RAIN.

How the Mount Hope Road, Near
Middletown, N. Y, Was Improved
by This neutrality-suspicious. of Gut
ters and Grading.
The work Of the Maple Dale Good
Roads club Of farmers has attracted
quite good deal Of attention In a To-
,al way In Orange county, N. Y, and
Il of general interest, writes o. W.
Mapes, president of the Maple Dale
Good Roads club, In the Good Roads
Magazine.
Just west of the thriving city Of
Middletown Is a section Of farming
country which is tapped by the Mount
Hope road. This Is part Of what was
formerly the old stagecoach route lead
ing from Newburg, on the Hudson riv-
err, to Milford, Pa, on the Delaware
river.
The following article by the writer
published In the Rural New Yorker in
1904 shows pretty well the methods en-
ployed in improving the road:
"The first step Is to stake out the
work by making light furrow on each
side of the proposed work twelve or
fourteen feet apart. If any part OF
these first burrows comes within the
beaten track where 1t is hard it should
be done just after soaking rain, either
with a pillow or the point of road ma
chine. Next put the wheel Of the road
machine In this light furrow, hold the
point of the blade firmly down In place,
remove every stone which the point
strikes and work down and out until
enough dirt Is secured to bring good
crown to the center of the road and a
good gutter on each side, making suita-
BILE outlets from all low points In these
cutters.
"This is only question Of applying
sufficient team power and removing all
stones that Interfere with making a
good gutter On portions Of our road
this alone will give us good road
with proper care In honing down after
each heavy rain and raking out all
loose stones. Other portions will need
a little gravel or shale along the crown
of the road. There are several bills
where this can be secured, requiring
only short hauls. A cubic yard hauled
on twelve foot wagon is enough for
the worst places by dumping a full
load in a place, and In other places
half or a third of load In place
will finish the crown Of the road.
Grading with the machine should not
cost more than s25 per mile nor draw
Ing the gravel on the crown Of the road
