AFTER LOSING IN SNOW

Mortimer Grant is telling a peculiar
psychological fact. A few days ago,

pen. One night he dreamed that he
found it at a certain spot. and the
next morning, after the snow had
melted. he went to the spot and found
the pen. 1t had been covered with
snow. Justice Grant is trying to dis
cover the connection between the
dream and the finding of the pen.

SHALL. 1T BE
ARIZONA?
Bill Signed by President Last Saturday Giving
Territories Chance for Statehood.

The bill providing that Arizona and
New Mexiso become one state under the
name of Arizona, arter passing both
houses of Congress, was signed by the
President last Saturday afternoon. Before
the two territories come into the union as
one state, the people of each territory must
show that they are willing to such union
at the election on November 6, 1906. 1t is
now up to the people whether they will ac.
cept statehood under the terms of this bill
or wait indefinitely therefor.
Among the good things provided in the
bill is gift of 5000, 900 for the public
school fund of the new state. This will
have great weight in the election in decid-
ing in favor of statehood.
President Roosevelt is very much in ia.
vor of seeing all the territories become
states during his administration. He has
expressed himself as vitally interested in
the new state of Arizona, as it was from
this part of Uncle SANS domain that the
greater part of thefamous "Rough Riders"
hailed.

Becomes Acquainted
with the Prouty.

Deputy Sheriff S. S. Phillips has a new
idea of taking care of hobos. Last week
one of this stripe was in town and having
been kept in the extra coated cottage,
"Phlip's Hotel" had no effect upon him
as far as giving the town wide berth is
concerned. To some Of our people he posed
as reformed drunkard, while to others he
told that he never drank a drop-he just
poured it down. On Friday when looking
for a man of muscle to work our "Prouty,"
we CHANGED upon Mr. Phillips, and upon
making known our needs, he agreed to
supply the necessary power. A few min
uteS later he appeared with "Jack" who
was soon initiated into the mysteries of a
"Prouty." Friday was the hottest day of
the year thus far, and it did not seem any
cooler to Jack, after turning the big wheel
for three and half hours. Before finish.
ing he was ready to,cut Estancia off his
map on his next trip. He has since gone
to herding sheep for Mr. Morris. This is
about the only real labor Mr.. Phillips can
find for these friends of his, as our streets
do not need work.

Don't Be the Means of Failure.

the amount of cash thus far paid in
of the $4,000 subscribed to about
$1,000. The committee was sent
out on Tuesday morning to secure
as much more of the amount as
possible. 1t appears that the peo-
pie in general do not appreciate the
necessity of this money being paid
IN promptly. 1t is necessary to have
the 81, 900 paid in before incorpora
tion can be effected, and no contract
can be let until the incorporation is
perfected. For the present all work
will have to wait until thu furds
are onahand to work further. 1t is
absolutely necessary that all of this
sum be paid in at once. This means
for every delinquent subscriber to
get busy and look for the committee.
Don't wait for the committee to
look for you.

DIVORCE. CHARGES
END IN ARREST.
Harry D. Skellenger Goes to
Jail for Contempt of Court
in Not Paying Alimony
AUTHOR OF THE SUIT


Harry D. Skel1enger. the plaintiff in
the divorce suit against Sophia B. Skel-
lenger, was yesterday found guilty by
Judge Hebbard of contempt of court
and ordered committed to the County
Jail because he had failed to accept
the mandate of the court that he pay
a certain sum as temporary alimony
and counsel fees to the wife whom he
sued for divorce.
In an effort to avoid the commitment
for contempt or the payment of fees
ordered by the court, attorneys for
Skellenger on Thursday filed a dis
missal of the divorce proceedings
against Mrs. Skellenger, but the court
held that this was OF no effect while
the proceedings were pending and or
dered the jail sentence executed.
In the original petition filed by Skel-
lenger on June Is he charged his wife
with cruelty and claimed that she had
driven him from their home and caused
him great mental suffering by writing
him letters with false signatures. Ten
days later Mrs. Skellenger filed a mo-
tion for temporary alimony and coun-
sci fees with which to defend herself
in the case. She charged that her hus-
band failed to support her or her chill
dren, although he has since their mar
riage inherited $4,000 through the will
Of Mrs. Eleanor Cogswell and has a
large estate of his own. She declared
that she had been forced to rely on
her mother and the charity of trades
men for her support, and that her
husband had conveyed his property to
his mother in order that she could not
have the use of it. On July 20 an
order was issued for Skellenger to pay
the temporary alimony and counsel
fees, but the money was not forth
coming.
Claiming that her husband was al
ways drunk and that he declared that
a man was no man if he couldn't stand
twenty drinks a day, Mrs. Mary Mitch
ell yesterday secured a divorce in Judge
Graham's court from Joseph Mitchell.
She said that during drunken Mt in
Yountville, Mitchell who was a trav-
cling salesman for an Eastern firm,
appeared on a sidewalk laden with
knives and threatening to kill every
body who came near him, and that he
ended his spree by entering store
and slashing quantity of valuable
goods to pieces.
