Chance for Stull Cutters

During the past month a large number of small black jack have been thrown by wind. These trees will soon become worthless unless logged, and are at present entirely suitable for stulls. It is always the policy of the government to sell such timber at a reasonable price, and application should be made through the forest supervisor at Flagstaff. Any men desiring wind thrown timber can make immedi- ate purchase where the stumpage amounts to less than $10O. Sales over this amount must he adver- tised six weeks. It is always the policy of the forest service to favor the small contractor and home steaders, and here is a chance to secure good stull timber at reduced rates.

An Important Horse Deal

On Tuesday of this week MT. C.. o. Stanton. the manager at San Jose. Cal, for Singmaster & Sons, horse breeders, of Keota, Iowa, sold to w. w. Bass the fine gray Per cheron stallion, Keota Lamont, and also disposed of the dark bay stal- lion of the same breed, Keota AL lender, to Mike Reneke. These are the two horses which have been kept here for some weeks, and as MT. Stanton finally decided, he had rather sell them here with a possi- bility of upbuilding the range stock than to take them back to Cal ifornia. These deals mean much to the horsemen of this section, as in few years the range stock will be of much higher class and will naturally bring much higher price than those that are now being offered
 MT. Stanton departed "Wednesday for his home at>San Jose. having bought of MT. Bass twenty-one head of range horses, and of MT. Thos Smith six head, that being all he had been able to gather up to tha, time. MT. Stanton stated that he expects to return again in about three weeks for another car oi horses.

What the object of the writer of the above article in the Cocopino Sun of June 16 may really be we do not know, but it would look as if he were after the NEWS editors political scalp. If that be the case we desire to set him at rest, as we have no intention of being a candi- date for any office this fall. We do appreciate the compliment of the large vote given us by the citizens of Flagstaff at the last election, and desire to say now that they have had no cause to regret their action. Certain it is that the NEWS has no spite against Flagstaff; neither do we believe that any citizen of Will jams bears that town animosity. How the writer of the above letter can accuse us of knocking Flagstaff in the face of the fact that we have a correspondent there and each week devote three columns of our paper to publishing Flagstaff news much of which has been of boosting nature-we do not under stand. The NEWS admits that it did criticise the Flagstaff bill in so far as the word ':itngle" was con- cerned, but we have never cast slur after slur at Flagstaff, as the above writer does at Williams. It is evi. dent that he does not belong to the class of clean minded people who try to avoid engendering mean feel ings between neighbors. The NEWS has criticised certain individuals of Flagstaff, especially county officials, but they are not the whole town or community. It may be possible that the above writer is one of those who have felt the lash, which would explain his rushing into print and !

UNFAlRNESS TO FLAGSTAFF (N
To the Sun:

To the Sun:
 The editor of the WILLIAMS NEWS and a few people of Williams seem to have an unsurmountab ble spite at Flagstaff, which either arises from spirit of jealousy or a nat ural inclination to unfairness that neither helps their cause or creates the impression that they are re- plete with wisdom.
 About the only criticism which they have found so far with Flag staff's celebration was a typograph- ical error made by the printer on a few bills in spelling the word "tin- gle" While the people of Flag staff rarely ever say things dispar- aging Williams, with or without opportunity, the NEWS prints slur after slur, all of which amounts to nothing and merely discloses very petty spirit.
 It is easy to get into such a hab- it; it never does the slightest good the people are wise enough to know the relative merits of the two towns and to engender mean feeling be tween neighbors is one of the things that clean minded people avoid whenever possible. This alludes to the NEWS and a select few at Will. jams who continue what they seem to think is heavy knocking, and not to the better class in Williams who have better judgment.
 The people generally in Flagstaff ignore this petty spirit and have hoped for some time that ray oi light might break in on the NEWS and that it might discover that Flagstaff was not being materially injured by such smallness.
 The editor of the NEWS might al least remember >that he has been honored with the votes of many people in Flagstaff; that if they were inclined as he is to see no good outside their own town, his election might have been a defeat. Garry ing on his same methods would lead to few more unpleasant things.
 Flagstaff intends having an old time celebration on the Fourth with the biggest crowd that ever was in the town, and the general senti- ment among people from the sur rounding country shows it at this early date. c.

COUNTY SUPERVISORS
 FIX THE TAX LEVY
The Rate is $2.IO as the Republican
 Said It Would Be.

The board of supervisors yesterday fixed the county tax levy for the year at $135 on each S1O0, a reduction of twenty cents for the levy of the last year. The rate was foretold by The Republican as long as last Friday and it is made up in precisely the same manner as The Republican at that time said it would be as follows: Territorial funding bond interest fund II; general fund. .45: school fund -5I; road fund .22. To this is to be added the territorial levy of .75, mak- ing the total for the taxpayers of this county, not counting school district levies, S210.
 The members of the board yesterday accused each other of having given this matter out in advance but it may be said that it did not come from a member of the board or from any one in any way connected with the board. lt may also be added that at that time the figures had not been determined upon, but it had been mofficiaUy es- timated that those figures would pro- duce the desired revenue for the year and that they were the lowest figures that would produce it.
 The levy for the maintenance of the union high school, is .25; for the Mesa high school .35 and for the department

STATEMENT
 OF THE WATtR FIGHT
He Thought Bivins Was Going After
 a PitChfOrk.

There were no further developments yesterday in the case of J. D. Bivins who was badly injured in a fight with Zanjero Chris Garety Of the Arfzona canal on Saturday. The investigation of the circumstances was not conclud- ed and no action has been taken yet
 Zanjcro Garcty called at The Repub- hcan office yesterday to give his side of the story.
 He said that numerous misstate- ments had been made in previous ac- counts.
 He said he had been zanjero there for theree years and had had no disputes with any other water user, but has had disputes with Mir Bivin
 "On Saturday morning." says Care r.. 'I was delivering water to the peo- pie above Bivin and had the gates closed on the ranches of Bivin and others so the water would pass by to the last man on the ditch. I went to Glendale then to get breakfast. When I returned to Bivin's gate l found that he had taken the water that was to go below him. l pulled the checks out and closed his gate and went north two miles to close some other gates and get more water to the lower end of the lateral. Returning to Bivin's gate found he had for the second time taken the water. I pulled his checks and closed the gate again and went to the lower end of the lateral to deliver

the water to other 1auchers. I raised one gate and told the next man to let part of the water go below and take the rest as Bivin was checking the water and I had to return and watch him."
 Returning to Bivin's gate saw him coming from his house toward the lateral. riding a horse and carry ing a pitchfork I got out of my cart. tied my horse. got a shovel and started To pull the ckecls which Bivm had put in again and also to close the gate He asked me what l was going to do I told him I was going to pull the cheeks. close his gate and let the water go where it belonged He said I would not pull the checks for half the water was his. Itold him none of it was his while it was running past him and l was going to pull the checks. I started past him and as ! did SO he partly struck and partly pushed me into the lateral. I got out dropped my shovel and we both commenced to fight We each struck and then he clinched me and as I got my arm loose I struck him again. He started away from me and as he did so I struck him again. He then started for his pitchfork. Before he reached it I struck him again. He then turned and went towards ths other end of the railroad bridge which crosses the lat eral. l thought he might have a wea- pom concealed as he had been around there great deal during the morning, and I started after him. Before I reached him I picked up a check that was lying on the ground and struck him on the head with it. The check was piece of board an inch thick and six inches wide. He fell and I gave him a couple of light kicks, hay ing somewhat lost control of my tenn per He laid there a minute or two when Wesley Davis. who had been a witness arrived from his house. pos sibly a hundred yards or so away and said the women folks wanted to know if they could not come and do some thing for Mr. Bivin who was still lying on the ground. l told Davis that Biv- in was not badly hurt. and he would be all right in a little while. Davis ask ed if we hadn't better get doctor and I said I did not think one was needed but l asked Bivin who was still lying on the ground if he wanted one. He seemed dazed and said he did not understand. Davis said he would hitch up his carriage and take Biyin home, and l told him to hurry up and I would help him. He brought the carriage over and I helped put Biv- in in it. Davis and his sister got into the carriage and took Mr. Bivin home l then left to pursue my water duties"

Played at Hanging.

Austin, Tex, April 14.-About
a week ago two small boys, sons
of John Gustafson, aged 7 and
9 years, attended the hanging of
Tom Young in Williamson coun-
ty. This afternoon, in trying to
reproduce that tragic incident,
the older of the little fellows, with
the assistance of his brother, tied
a rope around his neck and hung
himself il the barn. After he
had hung for about three minutes
the rope broke, letting him fall
to the ground in comatose
state. While he is still alive to-
night it is hardly likely that he
will recover, as he is having
spasms every few minutes. The
boys looked upon last weeks

accompanying disaster.
