A RECORD BREAKING MONTH

Clerk Kirkland of the probate court issued a marriage license every day last month, including Sundays and then some. That is. he did so on an average. for the total for the month was thirty-seven. That is believed to be a record breaking month and it is so under similar normal conditions. but there was a time when the mar riage clerk was little buster than he has been for the last month. That was when General T. F. Wilson was United States attorney and placed a construction on a certain law devised by a gentleman by the name of Ed munds. Soon after General Wilson began to apply the law as he under stood it, old timers say that matri- mony not only here but all over the territory, took an epidemic form.

4 STRENUOUS RIDE.

John H. Allison, who has been in the employ of the Blinn Lumber Co. for the past seven months. at their Clifton yards, arrived in Mesa yesterday. He says he will never ride on a railway train again-that walking is less trying on the nerves than his trip from Cliff ton by rail. In the first place. when out twenty-five miles from the start ing point the train on the A. & N. M. road was derailed. Two rails of the track suddenly curved outward like a couple of rainbows with one end fast to the ground Three cars went off and the passengers were badly shaken up but no one hurt. It was four hours before he got away from the wreck. and this caused him to miss the pas senger at Lordsburg and he laid there ten hours. From there to Maricopa he had to ride in a box car pulled by freight engine. At Maricopa there was another four hours delay, and at Tempe another delay of three hours. When he reached Mesa he felt as though he had been half. around the world on handcar.

Rhoden is q carpenter and has the contract for putting up the building. He was working on a low scaffold, only four feet from the ground and was using only an inch board.

The boy was un- hurt. but in falling Mir. Rhoden struck a 2x4 piece of timber. bruising his right side breaking the center rib. He did not at first realize that he was seriously hurt. and started to work again. In few minutes, however, the pain became so intense that he came to town and called in the doctor. The latter found that a rib was broken. set 1t and made Mir. Rhoden as comfort able as possible. He is resting easy, and the physician says that he will be all right in a few weeks.

WOULD STOP KILLING OF ELK
President Roosevelt Makes Appeal
to Members of B. P. 0. E.
Animals slaughtered for Their
Teeth. bat Their Use May BE
Discontinued.

Butte, April 20-The Butte Lodge Of
Elks is in receipt Of a letter from Grand
Exalted Ruler Melvin, inelosing copy
Of a letter from President Roosevelt rela-
tive to the reported destruction OF elk by
men gathering elk teeth President
Roosevelt states that it has been reported
to him that many elk have been
slaughtered for no other purpose than
to obtain their teeth. while the eareasses
were left to rot.
President Roosevelt expressed the hope
that the Lodge Of EIks would take meas
ures TO discourage the use of elk teeth
as emblems of membership. and 10 dis
courage their use as ornaments. Grand
Exalted Ruler Melvin has. therefore,
taken the matter up with the order
throughout the country. and is urging
the discOntinuance Of the use of elk teeth
and the discontinuance Of their employ
ment as embIems Of their order.
Many lodges have already taken action,
and the Butte Lodge has adopted a reso-
luton declaring against the continuance
Of the use Of the elk teeth. For several
years number of hunters and others
in the West have been making collec-
tions Of elk teeth and holding them for
an advance in price because Of the grow
ing scarcity of them.
one man at Billings has collection
Of many thousands, but the declaration
Of Elk Lodges against their continued use

such action was contemplated. but OF
