GREENFIELD HILL.
DEATH OF MRS LEROY MILLS.

DEATH OF MRS LEROY MILLS.
 The residents of Greenfield Hill and vicinity were profoundly shocked when the sad announcement was made of the death of Florence Smith Mills, wife of Leroy L. Mills, which occurred at her home in the Cross Highway district of Westport at an early hour, Thursday morning. Mrs Mills had not been robust in health for several months. She had suffered from a se- were kidney ailment for many weeks, but with the aid of a physicians treatment, went about her daily tasks and rode out frequently. Sunday night, decided change for the worse took place in her condition, and she took to her bed extremely ill. The dreaded Bright's disease, so long re- cognized as incurable by the medical profession, had fastened itself secure ly upon her and the doctor knew he was fighting hopeless case. Later inadequate heart action was noted and Mrs Mills herself, who was con- scious of the presence of death, called her friends to the bedside and bade them an affectionate farewell. To the husband and aged father, who are heartbroken over their loss and to the little son, bereft of a mothers love, the sympathy unfeigned of the entire community is extended. The deceas- ed was born in Greenfield, November P, 1873, being the youngest daughter of William A. Smith of this place. She was married to Leroy L. Mills of Greens Farms about 12 years ago and since then has resided in the town of 1 Westport. Beside her husband, son and father, already spoken of, Mrs Mills leaves two sisters, Mrs Jessup F. Jennings of Greens Farms and Mrs Charles A. Jennings of Greenfield. Funeral services were held from her late home, Sunday afternoon, Rev Carlton B. Strayer, pastor of the Greens Farms Congregational church, being the officiating clergyman. The house was crowded with sorrowing friends and relatives, many coming from distant towns to pay their last tribute of respect. The casket was surrounded by many beautiful floral emblems and was borne to the hearse by Charles. Edward F., Albert and Robert Mills, all brOtherS-in-law of the dead woman.

Pearce. Several attempts had been made to secure the pardon of Page, but 1t was always resisted by the friends of the deceased, and the news of his being granted a parole will come as surprise to them. Since Page has been confined in the peni- tentiary he has been a model prisoner in all respects, according to the re- ports of the prison officials. He has been working in the warden's office doing clerical work. The time he has put in amounts to about one-half of the original sentence. he having serv- ed seven years, and with the good time allowed would bring the amount up to about ten years.
 At the same time of granting the parole of Page, Governor Kibbey granted a pardon to one O. H. Moore who was convicted of the Killing of one Harrison, in Santa Cruz county. Moore was let out on parole in Feb ruary of last year, and has since been working at Cananea, where he has borne a good recommendation, and now wishes to get married and want ed to have his name cleared of the ; stain that was upon it. His request was granted.

IMPORTANT PURCHASE
PHELPs-pooGE COMPANY BUYS RESERVATION IN THE SAG
 RAMENTO MOUNTAINS.

A special to the Fl Paso Times from Cloudcroft says:
 It is reported here that the Phelps Dodge people have completed a deal whereby they take over today full con trol of Cloudcroft and its little rail road and also the properties of the Alamogordo Improvement Company.
 Summer tourists at the Lodge, as well at the cottages, are highly elated over this news, because they feel con fident that Cloudcroft will now be made a first class resort and be under experienced and capable management.
 And the Times adds:
 The Times Cioudcroil correspon- dents story was corroborated in Fl Paso yesterday by the Times, so far as it relates to the transfer of the Cloudcroft reservation. The Phelps Dodge people have not bought out the Alamogordo Improvement Company, and they already owned, through the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad company, the scenic mountain line from Alamogordo to Cloudcroft, and they also controlled the Lodge and l pavilion at Cloudcroft.
 The deal consummated yesterday was the sale and transfer of the en l tire Oloudcroft reservation of 350C acres to the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad system, which is owned by | Phelps-Dodge & Company. The 350C acres transferred yesterday includes the Lodge, the pavilion, club rooms and all unsold lots in the Cloudcroft l reservation. It is not known what price was paid for the property, but il amounted to a handsome sum.

city this morning and placed in the jail and will be compelled to occupy it with two Mexican women who are held as witnesses for the U. s. grand jury. Mrs. Lamb has made no state ment whatever, and does not seem to realize the position in which she has placed herself. II Is understood that an effort will be made by her attor- neys to sue out writ returnable be fore Judge Doan, to review the testi- mony given at the preliminary exami-
 nation for the purpose of fixing the amount of bond in the case. The
 matter will probably not be called be- fore next week. as the testimony talk en before Judge Mcdonald in Douglas
 cannot be transcribed and sent over before that time.
 An officer from Ft. Huachuca was in the city last evening coming over in search of couple of deserters who left the post yesterday and were thought to have come in this direc- tion. During the past few weeks there have been a number of deser- tions from the post, two of them be- ing caught in Bisbee by the officers there and returned to the post, and are now serving time in the guard house pending their having hearing
 before the examining board. The de- sertions up to the past few weeks
 have been on the decrease, but about every so often some sort of spell seems
 10 break out in the post, and for a couple of months at a time there is
 hardly a week passes that there is not one or two men missing at roll call
 who are absent without permission and whose whereabouts are unknown.
 A number of the deserters have found their way to Cananea, where there are now said 10 be some fifteen to tWen' ty who have unceremoniously quit the
 service of Uncle Sam without the for
 mality of drawing their full pay. Pink Murray and Mrs. Cora Kenni son were married in this city yester-
 day afternoon by Probate Judge Good
 body at the residence of Porter Mo l Donald and wife. There were but a | few of the intimate friends of the con
 tracting couple present. The couple shortly after the ceremony left for their home at Lewis Springs, where l the groom has charge of the Greene Cattle COmpany's ranges. They have
 many friends in the county who wish them the best of success in their
 welded life.
 Quite a number of Tombstone peo,
 pie are contemplating going to Lewis Springs on Sunday next to attend the
 Eagles picnic, and will meet their
 friends from Bisbee, Douglas and Tue | son.

THE jungle" HAS KEPT Up THE
DEMAND and THE Price OF EGGS

The price Of eggs this summer ant
in fact, all last winter, has been tn,
subject of much discussion and a mar
vel to the consumers AT no time have
eggs been less than ~ cents per dozen
during the past nine months, and they
have ranged from that up to 20 cents
maintaining an average price Of about
lj cents per dozen. This has been a
pretty rich harvest for the poultry
raisers who have been able to clear
large profits from their poultry the
past year,
The price is first of all regulated by
the demand, and the demand for poul-
try products has grown the past two
years to exceed the supply The larg-
est consumption is in the East-New
York Boston, Philadelphia, and Bal
timore being the centers of the mar
ket which supplies the trade Of the
eastern states.
1t is also fact that the American
people eat less meat now than has
been the former custom. Eggs are
the best substitute for meat, and,
therefore, they eat eggs. When they
want meat, they prefer game or poul-
try. Spring chickens are 10 to 20
cents per pound is no higher than
steak at the same price, and there are
few people that do not prefer chicken
to beefsteal as an article of food.
This demand has steadily pushed the
prices of poultry higher and higher,
and has made the poultry yard the
farmers bononza.
The recent packing house investiga-
tions have not gained consumers for
the packers. On the contrary, many
more people have quit eating meat in

Berlin, July 1.-THE. latest sean
dial in the aristocracy concerns the
Count Erasmus Zu Erbachs, younger
son of one of the weathiest families
in Germany, whose father is the head
of house worth something like ST.
100000. The young count will inner
it all of this money, numerous cas-
ties, countless acres of land, mines,
fisheries and factories.
While fitting away his time, Count
Erasmus, who is - years old, fell
in love with Dorothea Fisher, the
beautiful daughter of a laundryman
near Erbach. They eloped to Eng
land and were married in London a
year ago, They had royal time.
In that time, the count borrowed and
spent $4,000.
When they returned to Germany,
his family met in council and decided
that his marriage must be annulled.

consequence Of it, They, too, have
fallen back ON eggs, The demand for
poultry and eggs is sure TO grow
steadily, and not only the present,
but higher prices are assured in the
future.
The present prices are such that
storage eggs are bound to be much
higher this winter than they were
last. The produce men were able to
buy their eggs for storage purposes
last summer for much less money than
they are buying them this year, and
they will have a correspondingly larg-
er price for them this coming winter.
Thus, with the increased demand and
the falling off of the supply through
the fall and winter months, will prob
ably boost the price of eggs up to the
neighborhood of 30 cents per dozen.
"To what do you attribute this m-
usual demand for eggs and poultry?'
was asked of Tulsa produce dealer
yesterday.
"Well there are several reasons.
Supply and demand is directly respon-
sible for it, but there is why for
there wherefore. There has been a
wave of general reform swept over
the United States, and it has also in
cluded dietary reform.
"There are faddists who advocate
that milk and eggs should be the prin-
cipal articles of diet. Magazines ad-
vocate it. Packing house investga
tions strengthened the theory, so the
people are gradually becoming less
| may be mistaken, but
it is my prediction that the dairy and
poultry industries are going to largely
the stock raising industry
during the next few years. y
