Mrs. Wade said that one night the child bad been out until rather late. but as she explained afterwards that she had been visiting some friends all suspicion vanished. and she thought no more about the matter until the officer brought the child to the house. Wilmoth told Mrs. Wade that the girl had run away from her home at Doug las and requested that she be kept in her room until her mother could be notified and get here to take her back. The mother came up from Douglas yesterday aRd went to the house with Marshal Snodgrass. The marshal frightened the girl and she finally con- sented to go home with her mother.

 MT Brookthoyd arrived on this property three weeks ago from the state of New York and since that time has been very busy in preparation for the work which he has in hand The first work to be done is the cutting of large amount of wild hay which is plentiful all over the big possession of the company which will be used for feeding stock needed in clearing land for planting next season. Several shipments of modern farming imple- ments have been already taken down to Yzabel, but many other articles are yet required.
 Tt is our intention to engage ex- tensively in farming on the lands Of the company" said Mir. Brookthoyd to- day. 'I am now getting ready to cut wild hay for feed and there is no limit to the amount available. In rid .pg over the lands fiRd in places the native grass is thick and two feet bioh l

MOTHER FOLLOWS UNRULY GIRL
 TO BISBEE
Twelve Year Old Daughter Runs Away From Home
 in Douglas.

Miss Stella Waters. aged twelve, of Douglas, concluded few days ago that she had a perfect right to travel any time that she wanted to, and ac- cordingly boarded a train and came to Bisbee. Through the efforts Of Officer Wilmoth the girl was returned to her mother yesterday.
 It seems tbat the girl has been of very unruly disposition for the past four of five years. Her parents live at ranch about a mile from Douglas, but the girl has not lived at her home for some time past. She has been living in Douglas, where she has an aunt. but the girl did not visit her relative very often. How the young ster lived seems to be a mystery. She came to Bisbee once before and re- nained several days. She was sent to the reform school for stealing. but that experience did not seem to cure her of her evil ways. Mrs. Waters drove into Douglas on Tuesday and went to the house of her sister and inquired about the girl. The sister tcld her that she had not seen the voungester for some time past. and had concluded that the girl had gone out home The mother was heart-sick as she knew well the girls past per ] formances and feared that perhaps she had got too far away to be over taken before she came to harm. The mother went to the railroad station and asked the ticket agent if he had seen the girl and was informed that i she had bought a tickec to Bisbee.
 She immediately called up the local police on the long distance telephone and told them of the runaway child l Officer Wiimoth wen. to work or the case and travelled over most of the ! city watching every small girl he met
 and finally located her at the depot He followed her around for awhile
 and finally asked what her name was
 She told him her name and said she
 was rooming at Mrs. Wade's house or Clawson Avenue. near the Gregory
 House. The officer told her to go witF
 him. and he took her to the house. Mrs
 Wade told Wilmoth that the child had
 come to the house, ard although Il seemed queer to her to find child
 of her age looking for room, still she

BARREL OF BEER CAUSES COURT AND BUS MAN
 SOME TROUBLE
Load Hauled in Emergency Did Not Make Driver Transfer
 Man, Said Court.

Yesterday afternoon the case of the City of Bisbee vs. Henry Ward came up for trial in Judge Mcdonald s court, and was dismissed before it went to the jury on the ground that the city had not established its case. Ward was arrested several days ago OF a charge of violating the city ordi- nance relating to licenses. It was al legged that Ward had knowingly and wilfully violated the ordinance by haul ing a barrel of beer from Shattuck's S saloon to Lowell. and there delivering it to another saloon. The case came up on Wednesday. but MT. Flanigan demurred to the jurisdiction of the court, and asked for time to present his authorities. MT. F'lanigan after. wards withdrew his demurrer and the case came up yesterday afternoon on it's merits. Ward demanded a jury trial, and the same was ordered.
 After the jury had been selected, MT. Stanford. who appeared for the city. placed City Clerk Hicks on the stand as the first witness. Hicks was simply calle: to identify the copy of the ordinance Next Ferrens, the complaining witness, was placed on the stand. and testified that he had seen Ward drive up to Shattuck's place and get the beer. He testified further that Ward started towards Lowell
 This was the case of the prosecution
 and when it was submitted MT. Elan
 igan. for the defense, moved for dis missal on the grounds that the city had not submitted evidence to sustain the complaint. MT. Flanigan alsC quoted authorities sustaining the con tention that one act did not constitute carrying on a business. It seems tht ordinance reads that anyone engaged

CURLING FEATHERS.
The Work IL Done BY Hand-Hew
soms Are Built Up-About
Farming.

Curling r. always done by hand. Tak.
ing a small steel instrument like q
blunt knife, the operator carefully
takes each frond of the feather and
skilfully presses 1t with a finger and
thumb against the instrument until
the rib curis out In a graceful bow.
Patience and care make. or otherwise
mar, the ostrich feather at this stage
OF Its existence.
Another branch Of the business Is
the manufacture Of ostrich feathers.
The best bits Of the smaller varieties
are taken in hand by skilled female
operators, who cut and trim them up
carefully, and then fix the bits TO-.
gether upon a stock with needle and
thread until a perfect looking feather
Is made. Ostrich feather boas are
made on this principle from the finest
small feathers.
In the early days of ostrich farming
great fortunes were made. Feathers
were then worth 6 100 per pound. the
plumes of a single bird often realizing
$50 to E3O. For a good pair OF breed
Ing birds IT was NJ uncommon thing to
pay as much as $500. But none Of
these prices could be got now. From
BE to eight guineas a pound Is the
usual price at the present time for fine
ostrich feathers. The mourning plumes
used by undertakers are of the largest
variety. and sometimes cost as much
as E3OO Il set.
