MOTIVE FOR
PRIESTS ARREST
Was Expected 10 be Witness Before
Grand Jury.-Father Scheil Re-
ceives Reply from Comptroller

Rev. Fr. Joseph Schell was In the
city Monday. He says that his ar
rest last week has convinced Bishop
Schmimpr that there is some con-
nectinn between the attack upon him
and his investigate of the Lady
smith bank failure, and the bishop
is min.lpd to have Father Schell
stand aside from his new mission at
Saxon and remain in Ladysmtth un-
til the whole matter is cleared up.
A special to the Chippewa Herald
from Ladysmith says that the pur-
pose of the tardy arrest OF Father
Schell was to discredit him as a wit
ness before the federal grand jury, as
it was expected that he would be
subpeonied in the Investigation OF
the bank failure-but he was not.
The priest had a similar experience
i'm Oregon. when he was exposing the
land frauds few years ago: he was
there charged with passing counter
felt money.
Father Schell recently received a
reply to his second letter to the
Comptroller of the Currency, in which
Mr.. Ridgely says that it appears
that the plaintiffs only purpose is to
criticise federal officers in the news
papers. In an answer dated Sept.
%. Father Schell denies any such
purpose and again asks the comp
troller why, with all the evidence at
hand, no one has been prosecuted
for wrecking the bank. Inasmuch as
the federal grand jury is now inves-
tigating the case, the News-Budget
does not publish the correspondence

Fire wardens post notices through
out their territory in the spring or
fall, so that settlers may become
familiar with the laws regarding the
setting of fires and the responsibility
that they assume II they do not ex-
tinguish all fires that they set. They
are paid by their towns ODly for the
time actually employed in the work
and not to exceed % cents per hour.
To further protect land owners from
loss by fire, a fire warden is empOW-
cred under the law to post notices
absolutely forbidding the setting OF
fires, during a dangerously dry time.
In case a severe fire occurs he can
call out any able bodied citizen to
| help extinguish 1t and his assistants
are also paid by the town and at
the same rate that he Is.
| All land owners in the northern
part of the state should know the

they may report violations OF the

to look to protect their property
from fires. Ii the property owners

should be made to the state forester

TEDDY TELLS COLLINS
 kIBBEY ALL RIGHT
(Phoenix Democrat

Tell Governor Kibbey that he is the man for the place and that I said he was all right" These words were spoken to Assistant Secretary of the Terriotry Lew W. Collins by the pres ident on the day of the unveiling of the Mckinley monument at Canton, Ohio.
 Mir. Collins spoke to the chief exc cutiye only a minute or two, but in that brief space Of time the president asked him about conditions in Ari- zona and delivered the above words concerning the governor.
 He said nothing about statenood or his intention of inviting Governor Kib- bey to meet him at Vicksburg on Octo- Der 21, during the interview.
 Mir. Collins returned this morning from an S000-mile trip through the east and comes back loaded With m formation he has gathered anent con ditions in the east-political and oth- erwise, says the Phoenix Gazette.
 He says that the east is solid to a man for Roosevelt to succeed himself in the white house. T met hundreds of people" he said, and they all want the president to serve for another four years after his present term of office expires.
 At the unyeiling of the Mckinley monument there were 15,00O people present and with one voice they ap- plauded Roosevelt. They were not applauding him as Roosevelt the chief exeuctive, but as Roosevelt the man.
 Even should he decline the nomi- nation for another term he will be nominated. It will be up 10 him to refuse after the nomination is ten dered him. He will receive an hon orary nomination if nothing more"
 Mir Collins spent several days in Washington and was shown all over the city by a guide furnished him by MT. Persons, auditor of the interior department
 He had a long talk with William Loeb, private secretary to the presi- dent, and also with First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock, who visited Phoenix several months ago. MT Hitchcock agreed with him that the country is for Roosevelt and mo- thing can prevent his nomination, his election following as matter of course.
 Everywhere he went NIT. Collins put in a good word for Arizona. He ob- served that the east is prosperous but not more prosperous than Ari- ZOna.

BARRED WIRE.
A Lucky Device That Brought Millions
 to Its Inventor.

A Lucky Device That Brought Millions
 to Its Inventor.
 'The luckiest invention in history" said q patent official, was that of barbed wire. It came about by acci- dent.
 Isaac L. Ellwood was the inventor Of barbed wire. In his youth he lived fin De Kalb, H., and, having neighbor whose pigs trespassed on his garden, he put up one day wire fence of his own make This fence had barbs and points on 1t. It was queer and ugly, but it kept out the pigs.
 Tt was q real barbed wire fence, the first in the world, and there were millions of money in it, but young Ell wood and his friends laughed at its freak appearance.
 One day two strangers saw this fence, perceived how well it kept out the pigs, realized how cheap it was realized, in a word, its value-and or dered several tons of it from Ellwood Furthermore, they contracted to sell for q term of years all the barbed wire he could produce.
 "Ellwood borrowed S1, 900 and set up q little factory. A few years later on he had paid back that loan and was worth q small matter of $15,000,0QQ besides. New York Press.

EDWARD A. sUKER DIES.

PHOENIX, Oct 17.-With the pass. ing of Edward A. Buker, another of the territory's pioneers has depart. ed from Arizona for the last time.
 He was 63 years old Little is known of his life until he enlisted at the beginning of the civil war Tn com pany E of the Seventh Kansas volun- teers. He remained in the service throughout the entire war and though he never rose above the rank of pri- vate, he was awarded a medal for dis tinguished gallantry in action, serv- ing under Generals Grant and Sher- man.
 Soon after the close of the war, he started west and in the course of his waaderings reached Arizona and f. nally Phoenix, though there was noth- ing here then but small collection of adobe houses.
 The valley had no canal system at that early day. For that reason he went about sixteen miles southwest of town on the river and settled down to convert the heavy alka1I land to productive soil. In order to do this he had to build ditch from the river to irrigate his land. and this ditch formed the nucleus for what is new the St Johns canal.
 Buker did his share also ;n build ing the city of Phoenix in a literal sec-se. He was a carpenter by trade. s,ld many of the houses nere, espe cially the older ones. were built with his help. He leaves a wire and sev- eral children.
 Buker died of cancer The funeral arrangements have not yet been an nounced

The Water Lily.

Almost everybody has observed the strange characteristic of the water lily bud opening it's petals at sunrise and closing them again at sunset It was for this reason mainly that the an- cients held the water lily sacred to the sun. Pliny says: Tt Is reported that in the EGphrates the flower Of the To tus plunges into the water at night, re- maiRing there till midnight and to such a depth that it cannot be reached with the hand. After midnight it begins gradually to rise, and as the sun rises above the horizon the flower also rises above the water, expands and raises itself some ustance above the element in which it grows" It was also through this peculiarity that Hancar- vile proved that the Egyptians con sidered the lily an emblem of the world as it rose from the waters of the deep,
