The Old Pueblo Club company has
completed the deal whereby ii
secures from DIR. Mark A. Rodgers
ground on the block that is bounded
by Jackson street and Stone avenue.
The purchase price was $500. On
this site the new clubhouse will be

crty is the second step in the forma-
tion of a business mems club here
which will have a fine modern club
house as its home. The club was or
ganized about two weeks ago and at
that time it held an option on the
property just purchased. 1t was
learned that architects in San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, ElPaso and Chi
cago are now figuring on plans for
the clubhouse. AS originally decided
upon the first floor will be given to
store rooms while the entire second
floor will be taken by the club. On
this floor there will be a fine parlor
and reading room and fine restau-
rant. 1t is the intention to make the
clubhouse fully as up-to-date as the
Yavapai club of Prescott which is
admitted generally to be a model
among clubs in small cities. 1t is ex-
pected that the clubhouse will be
completed and ready for occupancy

Word was brought to Globe last
week that the body of D. M. Dough-
erty, well known throughout the dis
trict as ..Doc'' Dougherty, was found
a half mile east of the Gibson camp.
Death had evidently resulted from an
affection of the heart brought about
by excessive drinking. When discov-
cred Dougherty's body was lying on
the edge of a small creek and he was
lying face down in about six inches
of water. Judge Hinson Thompson,
Deputy Sheriff Jack Knighton ard
Undertaken F. L. Jones drove out to
the place where the body was found
to investigate and coroner's jury
was impaneled there. Thejury came
to a verdict that the deceased died
from heart failure. The remains
we're brought to Globe to the under
taking establishment of F. L. Jones
& Son. Dougherty had been in Globe
several days before and at that time
he drank heavily. When he left for
the purpose of doing the assessment
work on some claims which he owned
with several Globe business men he
was in poor health and complained of
heart trouble. His friends wanted
him then to go to the hospital, but
he refused, saying that he would be
all right after he get out in the hills.
Dougherty was about 45 years of age
and it is not known where his rela-
tives reside, if he has any. He was
an oldtime prospector in this district
and well known to almost everyone
in Globe.-Silver Belt.
George Brown, in charge of the
a agricultural operations of the Indians
of the Sacaton agency was in Phoe-
nix last week. He said that the out
look for crops on the reservation is
good. There has been great deal of
cold weather there, the other night
the thermometer running down to 80
degrees. 1t was feared the wheat
crop had been damaged, but the frost
resulted in proving the advantage in
more ways than one of planting that.
cereal as early as possible. 1t took a
good deal of persuasion to get the
Indians to put in their crops last fall;
as they were fearful of frosts. Mr..
Brown told them that the advantage
of getting the greatest amount of
winter moisture more than offset the
danger from frosts. As a result of
the frosts, the fall sown wheat is I'M
damaged while the fields of later
grain are quite yellow.-Republican.
