BACK FROM CAMP PERRY.

Corporal Leo HILBERT, one of the
Mesa Guardsmen who attended the
shoot at Camp Perry, has just return
ed from the contest. He reports a
splendid time. He says that the off,
GERS in charge of the affair showed the
boys every courtesy. Fine quarters
were provided for the contestants and
the best of rations issued. They were
treated more like guests than is usu-
ally accorded the soldier. He says
that while the Arizona boys did not
distinguish themselves in the contest.
they have no kick coming. The team
was inexperienced. in a strange land.
and naturally became somewhat rat
tied. Another year the same men
would probably do a great deal better.
especially if they keep up the prac-
tice, which is absolutely necessary.

scrape in one Of the saloons here Sat
urday night about ten O'Clock as a
result of too frequent indulgence in
the cup that cheers on the part of two
Mexicans and a white man. The white
man may be known as John Doe and
is the cook for the Kyrene Threshing
His part in the episode was
not a very active one and he has mere
~ been cited to appear in court this
with the other two. The real
victim of the scrape is Ramon Garcia.
A little after the row was over he ap-
peared at the office of DIR. Brechan in
bad shape. Blood was running freely
from a long slip in his arm. He was
so drunk, though, that he didn't mind
the pain and the doctor took the nee
essary stitches in the wound without
an anesthetic. His as
sailant is Pedro Leon. Both of the
last named were taken into custody
the row and locked up. The
case will be given a hearing today be-
fore Justice Nielsen.

FELL IN A WELL.

While driving q bunch of cattle past
the Double Butte school house Satur-
day afternoon, Frank FOgcl suffered
the temporary loss of a cow. The an
imal walked over an old unused well
on which the covering of boards had
weakened. She fell through it to the
bottom. The well was only about ten
feet deep and rescue party was hur-
riedly formed. one side of the well
was cut down on a slant to the COW:
a rope was attached to her and two
men on horseback took their turns
and snaked her out, apparently none
the worse for the experience.

THREE YOUNGSTERS
THEIR SENTENCES
They Are Neglected Boys Who Have
Learned a Little Too Much Mean
ness for Their Ace.

Carl Lind, Richard Porter and Jose
Eosas. the twelve-year-o boys who
were a few days ago arrested for
stealing grain sacks from the Phoenix
Planning Mill and trying to dispose of
them to the Phoenix Wood and Coal
company. have been arraigned before
Justice Kyle and their temporary sem
tence will be pronounced today when
the justice will probably turn them
over to Nait the action of the
Juvenile court. The mothers OF the
boys claim that they are unable to
control the youngsters, and wish them
sent to the reform school.
Carl Lind is a particularly bright
and interesting child. seemingly well
meaning lad for one disposed TO petty
crime at his age. 1t may be true that
he has been led into this by bad assO-
ciates, and lack of a mother and prop
er parental care. He would be
homeless boy but for the rooftree OF
Mrs. Fields. who has had the care of
80 children in her life. The boy has
roaIned the streets and learned many
things that one of his age should not
know. II is not hard to see where
many of the country's criminal class
come from, when these lads are looked
upon and their practically homeless
and uncared-for condition is made
apparent. The small beginnings that
make or unmake the man are plainly
shown.
Justice Kyle was touched by the
pitiable youthfulness Of the offenders.
but feels that in their tendency to
waywardness they need the discipline
of a place made for just such unfortu-
nate lads. He asked Mrs. Fields why she
did not lambaste the life out of her
charge. or warm the seat of his pants
for him occasionally. But she replied
that she would never think of doing
such a thing. The lads will probably
be kept in Jail till their case is dis
posed of. or they are placed where
they can be had when wanted.

MESA
VEGETABLE GARDENING.

From present indications there will
be no necessity for Mesa people to
eat imported vegetables during the
coming year. Some thirty odd differ
ent parties are putting in cabbage,
onions and other vegetables which can
be grown during the winter months.
From two to ten acres to the indiv;d-
ual is the average. which means care
full farming and the best results from
the ground cultivated. Vegetable grow
ing has been neglected here to a great
extent in the past. though those who
have followed il have made good mon
ey. The present plan is to form a
truck growers association in order to
be able to handle the product in car
load lots. By this means the Melon
Growers association has been able to

Hyder Bros. announce that Mrs.

There were a great many replies from

REALTY PROSPECTS.

The realty men tell the reporter
that a number of big deals are now
under way which mean a great deal
for the future development of the
town. In addition. there is large de-
mand for farm property. Letters are
daily received from the east and the
middle west asking for information re-
garding farm lands for a large variety
of industries. from bee culture to stock
ranges. The prospects are good that
the coming year will see a great
change in the personnel of the owner

also in demand by SPECTATORS who are
