Others thrust their cooked guns into the mans

Back to the regiment"
The bold youngster almost laughed as he said this
with sheer elation; the thing seemed So easy They
turned back and ran few steps safely before the
Confederates saw what had happened but the next
instant ram of bullets came on them and killed two
OF the little company; and Merritt with his re-
naming companions thus far successful bearing the
flag dashed on, they heard men following them and
shouting, Kill theml Kill the cursed Yankees'"
Another fell, and then a bullet grazed Merritt's
chest, second lodged in his leg, and from above
and behind sudden stunning crash overwhelmed
him, cutting off the noise and the shouting and the
triumphant umu,t OF his wildly beating heart as if
forever
When he recovered his senses one of his men the
only other survivor of their adventurous enterprise
was supporting him. He had been knocked down
by dubbed musket, his leg was useless, and the
flag was gone. The other dragged him quickly into
the Union line Merritt managed to gain the eye of
the Lieutenant, who hurriedly told off two men to
help him to the They started off with him. half

AN UNFUlFILlEO
 LONDON PROPHECY
Last 25 Years in Canada Have Drawn
 Sharp Contrast Between London's Dire Prediction and Present Needs For Third TranscontinentaI Rail

Winnipeg, Manitoba, June 22.-"The Winnipeg Saskatoon section of Cana das new transcontinental railway, the Grand Trunk Pacific, will probably be completed in time to help haul the 1907 crops of grain" This is the re- port which has set Canada to rejoic- ing; it means that the bursting gran aries of the region between Winnipeg and Saskatoon soon will have another spout 10 the Great Lakes" another railroad to carry to market the golden flood which last fall fairly swamped the present Canadian railways.
 Contrast with these facts and with the conditions which make them so important to Canada, the mad prophe- cy of London Truth in 1881: SThe Ca nadian Pacific Railway will run, if it ever is finished. through a country frost bound for seven or eight months of the year. and will connect with the eastern part of the Dominion a prov ince (Manitoba) which embraces about face of the. earth"
 The first railroad seemed useless then-to the London Truth. Later. there was a second. Now there is a third. Railroad building has not been able to keep pace with the increase of traffic which the new railways have created. The Grand Trunk Pacific is being rushed to completion in its en- tire 36OO miles of length as rapidly as good and substantial construction will permit, but ,the road is to be without heavy grades or sharp curves, because ii is designed to carry heavy traffic ard fast trains.
 The new railway is the farthest north of the three great trunk lines in Western Canada-it will awaken the last west, which also has been found to be part of the best west, in climate as well as productiveness. The for bidding country of western Canada, in 1906 produced new traffic amount ing to 95,0OO,OOO bushels of grain and exported S0,000 head of cattle. of av- craze weight of 1925 pounds. This traffic from the region which the Lon don Truth derided quarter of a cen- tury ago. The Canadian Pacific was tfe pioneer in the creating of this traffic. which now exceeds the capaci- ties of two roads. These lines through country which London Truth de- ciared was frost bound seven or eight months of the year." had become inad- equate to the requirements of the cul- tivated land, although but a fraction of the 200,000,000 fertile acres m west ern Canada were under blow. London Truth was poor prophet.
 The facts about western Canada were not known p years ago which ex- plains the view expressed by Truth. Instead of a frigid barren country, growing more frigid and barren as one travels northwesterly. the pathfinders for the new railway have found an empire of prairie and forest which is wonderful in productiveness and where the sun shines 300 days of the year.

ROBBED BY FRIENDS
 AND BADLY BEATEN
The Iiberality of fierros Excited the Cupidity of His Guests.

Miguel Fierros was found night be- fore last between the Porto Rico sa- loon and the more pronounced Red light district beaten and robbed. He said the job had been accomplished by four acquaintances whom he had met and was showing the town. Fierros was the moneyed man of the party. He had a twenty dollar gold piece left when the assault occurred and that was supposed to be the motive for it. The instrument with which he was put out was a rock.
 The assailants were Manuel Luna, Hingino Macias and two other Mexi- cans whose names he did not know though one of them was called Chappo. None of the Mexicans live here but had been employed along the line of the A. and C. Fierros said he had met Luna and Macias in Prescott re- gently and was overjoyed when he ran across them again on Friday night. They had visited several resorts and Fferros was spending his money with great liberality.
 The assailants are quite accurately described. Luna is about twenty-five years of age. five feet six inches. black curly hair, small black mustache. black eyes, well built, pock marked and wore black pants. white shirt and small white hat He is a native of Tucson.
 Macias is Chihuahuan twenty three years old. five feet eight inches, black hair, small .mustache. scar on cheek, rather slender in build, wore a small black hat blue overalls and blue shirt. Chappo was twenty-five years old. five feet four inches and heavy of build. He had a small mustache, wore black trousers and white shirt. The other man was tall. nearly six feet. had on black pants white shirt and gray hat. He was further distin- guished by wearing a pair of kahki pants.

ORDERS AHEAD FOR
 PHOENIX BABIES
The Demand Already Exceeds the Supply and the Medical Men Are Up Against It.

A great many incidents are related of innocent but anxious little girls who deplore the absence of a baby iH the house, and their urgent pleadings with influential friends to provide them with one. Generally the story stops with a personal request of that kind. There is one little Phoenix girl though, who is desperately in earnest and willing to do any thing she can to help fill up and round out the family circle as it should be in these days of anti-race suicide. She has been taught as most children have. that medical men are looked to mainly for the regulation of these affairs and finding that her per sonal requests have brought no results she decided to take up the matter of ficially and formally with the proper authorities.

This may be something of a joke on her parents but the little lady is very much in earnest and the doctor hopes that she may not be doomed to a last ing disappointment, particularly as she is not exacting in her wishes and does not specify that it must be either boy or a girl, as most children do.

the fact that he has probably been
