LOYALTON TIMBER
MAN TWICE
ROBBED
Went to Reno to Spend Quiet vacation
But Is Given Strenuous
Time.

RENO, New, May 15.-James Wall,
a timber man, who has been working
in the numbering camps near Loyalton,
arrived in Reno Sunday morning to
spend quiet vacation, but since he
has been here he has twice been the
victim of holdup men, who not only
robbed him of all his money and his
watch, but beat him up in fearful
manner.
Wall was first attacked by the
thieves Sunday night when he entered
the depot saloon, a dive on CONNER
cial row near the Southern Pacific
depot. He entered this place and saw
number of men beating a friend of
his. He dived into the battle and his
friend fled, leaving him to fight it out
alone. He was knocked down and
robbed He was then dragged from
the place and thrown into the alley in
the rear of the saloon.
Yesterday he was again attacked by
thieves near the Southern Pacific depot
and was painfully beaten. In this last
fight he received a serious cut on the
top of the head and had his hand
broken. He had no money yesterday
and when the robbers found that he
was penniless they beat hm and
swore at him for not having any.

1.-THE MAN LAND

Little boy, little boy, would you go SC
soon
To the land where the grown man
livese
Would you barter your toys and your
airy things
For the things that the grown man
gives2
Would you leave the haven whose
doors are set
With the Jewels of Loves alloy
For the land of emptiness and regret
Would you go, little boy, little boys
It's land far off, little boy, little boy
And the way is dark and steep;
And once YOU have passed through its
doors, little boy,
You mayn't even come back to sleep.
There is no tucking in, no good night
No mornings of childhood joy,
It's passion and pain you give for this;
Think well, little boy, little boy.
Little boy, little boy, can't you see
the ghosts
That live in the land off there;
The ''broken hearts, fair hopes,' all
dead;
"Lost faith and "grim despair9'
There's a train for that land in the
after years,
When old Time rushes in to destroy
The wall that stands tween the joy
and the tears
So don't go, little .oby little boy!

Magazine

CARSON, New, May 16.--Today the
Nevada railroad commission will send
notices to all railroads of the State
calling their attention to the Syphus
/ bill and asking that they observe the
maximum rates set by that measure.
Not one of the rate tariffs in force,
even those just revised, conform with
the Syphus bill and the commission
specifies that all the roads observe the
rates withnia period of thirty days
from the date of the receiving of the
notification, which will be sent a.
once.
The Nevada Central railroad is now
preparing a new schedule which will
conform with the statute, it is said
and the Virginia Truckee railroad will
also issue a tariff shortly, according
to report, which will conform with the
maximums of the Syphus bill.
Although there is no road which con
forms to all the maximum rates, still
there are number of the tariffs in use
by the road which are as low and in
several instances lower than the maxi.
NUNS set by the Syphus act. This is
true in the long distance hauls, the rates
in classes + and d, generally conform
ing with the maximums but on the shor'
hauls the tariffs are considerable
higher.
In the letter which will be sent out
to the roads the commission will cal

got caught below the knee under one
piece. of timber and over another piece,

Arizona Pioneers Ask Appropriation.

Among the visitors to the legisla-
tive chambers last week was Hon.
Thomas Hughes, of Tucson, formerly
territorial auditor under Governors
Wolfey, Irwin, Murphy and Hughes.
Mr.. Hughes has not been in the city
for several years. He is president of
the Arizona Historical Pioneer
society, and his business here was to
remind the legislators that this
society has been having a place in
the appropriation bill for several
years. He hoped that it would not
be overlooked this time in making
up of the budget.
The legislature used to allow the
society $1,000 year, but the twenty
third legislature cut the amount
down to $3.50. After that a question
was raised as to the validity of the
appropriation and in order to test it
damus against the territorial auditor
Thus the matter was brought direct
before the supreme court which de-
cided in favor of the society and also
established the validity of such ap-
preparations, so that question will not
have to be decided by the present
legislature.
The society has collected a wealth
of records of the early days which
are year by year getting to be of
great historic value, and in years to
come will be priceless to Arizonans.
Since the last appropriation one
volume of the history of the terri
tory has been issued by Sidney r. De-
Long, one of the earliest of the pio-
neers, and who assisted in the making
of the early history. Other volumes
will follow.
The appropriation goes for the pay
ment of the salary of a secretary at
S25 month and the rest of it goes
for rent of a place to keep records,
it had been the intention of the Off
GERS of the society to ask for a mod
est appropriation for the building of
a hall of records, but inasmuch as a
bill has been introduced for the es-
of home for aged and
infirm pioneers, the bill was not pre-
sented.-Republican

him in his efforts. Cocroft on the
train developed an appetite for hot
tamales and as he could not get any
on the train and was insistent that he
should have some it is thought he
walked off the train in a drunken

the dead man was searched S205 p
was found on them. 1t is not known
what disposition will be made of the

The deal by which the Lewisohns
take oyer the local holdings of the
Inspiration Mining company in the
Globe district is of considerably
greater magnitude than at first in
timated contained in the letter to
stockholders in the company, as it
constitutes, if the option is ulti-
mately exercised by the New York
ers, the largest mining transaction
ever made in the Globe district. No
details of the terms contained in the
option on the Inspiration mine are
given in the letter issued by Presi-
dent Hosier, but it is learned from
reliable authority that over S3,000,
900 in cash and stock, more than the
full capitalization of the company,
cash payments which will go into the
treasury of the Inspiration in in
stallments covering two years, it is
learned, will aggregate 81 900, 900 and
stock in a company which will be
formed subsidiary to the General De-
velopment company, the prospective
purchasers, will amount to a money
valuation of 81, 100000. 1t is further
understood that an operating fund of
81 100000 will be placed in the treas
ury of the new company, and judging
from this, it is very improbable that
there will be any public subscription
of stock in the company. 1t is very
evident that it is the intention of
the Lewisohu people to make great

DEMING STOCKMAN
KILLED IN DUEL.
-Four Men Fight Bloody Battle on Prairie
Thirty-five Miles From Hachita.

In a pitched battle which occurred

from Hachita, last week betweeI

Frank Stedham, on one side and w
N. Gibson and his brother-in-law, In
graham, on the other, Frank Wat.
kins was shot and instantly killed,
none of the other participants in the
battle being wounded.
The trouble was the outgrowth of
bad blood of long standing over land
matters. The two parties own ad-
joining ranches and are prominent
people in that section of the country.
Both sides are wealthy men.
While Watkins, the dead man, and
his partner, Stedham, were riding
over their range Gibson and Ingra-
ham were encountered. The latter
were armed with Winchesters, while
Gibson and Stedham had only re-
volvers.
A shooting between the two parties
had not been unlocked for, as the
state of feeling has been known. All
parties are considered honorable and
upright men and highly respected in
that section.
The mystery which surrounds the
shooting will probably not be known
until the case comes to trial, as the
three survivors to the tragedy re-
fuse to talk.
The body of Watkins was taken to
Deming for burial. His parents re-
side there. The family came origi-
nally from GAINESVILLE, Texas, and are
said to be intimate acquaintance of
Senator Bailey.
Gibson has been placed under arrest
and is in Jail at Silver City pending a
hearing, when he will
secure bail.

NEW MEXICO CRATER
SAID TO BE WONDER.
Surrounded by Salt Lake and in Which
There is BOttOmIesS Well.

81 fully agree with the writer of
the story in the Morning Journal
that the salt lake in Socorro county,
, near the Arizona line, is one of the
wonders of the world" said County
Surveyor Pitt Ross, of Albuquerque,
to the Morning Journal.
81 was out there not long since do
ing some surveying and visited the
place." said Mr.. Ross. "It is we'll
worth trip clear out there to see.
In the midst of this salt lake, several
square miles in extent, rises up an
ancient crater. The interior of this
crater contains the bottomless well
that is spoken of. The walls of the
crater descend at an angle of about
fortyfive degrees, the soft, sliding
lava formation making it exceeding
ly dangerous to approach the cage of
the water. A single trail has been
worn in the side of the crater, how
ever, so that person can get down
to within few feet of the water.
The we'll is probably 200 by go feet,
the surface of the pool being slightly
elongated. It's depth is an unknown
quantity. Former President Herrick
of the University of New Mexico,
told me that it had been sounded to
a depth of $500 feet, with no sign of
bottom, and there appears to be no
doubt that it extends into the bowels
of the earth. The cowboys and
ranchmen say that many of them
have spliced many hundreds of feet
of rope and lowered into the pit !
without finding bottom.
The water is fully as heavily salt
laden as the writer quoted in the |
Morning Journal sets forth. BY |
actual analysis it is 26 per cent. salt,
and will bear up person so that he
can not sink in it.
"Beside the crater another vol
canic cone, coming to a sharp apex |
juts up out of the salt lake. A
curious feature is that within six feet
of the edge of the lake there is a
fresh water spring, which supplies
the people of Salt Lake postoffice
with their drinking water. The lit
tie town of Salt Lake is only short |
distance from the crater.
SIT may not be generally known,
but this wonderful lake and crater is
the saline lands owned by the |
and now yields rental,
believe, of about $500 year. 1t is
certa inly one of the most remar kable
natural wonders of the entire west"

Globe Becoming a City of Homes.

Notwithstanding its monetary fer
yor, its unhedged status and its
dearth of vegetation, Globe is rapid
ly becoming city of beautiful
homes, says the Silver Belt. AS an
establishment to the grandeur of its
Acropolislike hills, new edifices are
constantly springing up on every
side.
Prominent among these are the
two handsome residences which J.
w. Harrington is erecting in the
vicinity of Pascoe hill bridge. The
most imposing of the two is a S270O
structure now nearing completion.
The exterior of the residence is done
in a new patent finish that priorly
has not been introduced in Globe
1t is of double cement. The other
house is frame and will probably
come to 800.
A few blocks to the east 3. J. Ben
nett, a fireman at the Old Dominion
mine, is patterning $500 six-room
residence for his own occupancy.
The dimensions are twenty-eight
feet square and there are two stories
E. Parkhurst, another miner, is
building cozy little home for him
self which will reach completion
within a week. It's dimensions are
eighteen by twenty-four.
Joe Childs, popular boilermaker,
has contracted for $4OO home with
f. T. Greene, and Mr.. Childs expects
to occupy it.
On the summit of the Pinals, an
Old Dominion nine employe, James
Trovey by name, is completing
5000 frame residence of three rooms
which will be snugly ready for rental
by the close of this month.
