SAID TO HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF THE NOTORIOUS STILES
 ALvoRD GANG.
PLANNED IN 1901 TO HOLD UP A SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN
 NEAR BENSON.
Interesting Antecedent History of the wealthy Yuma Mining Man, Now Being Sued By Wife No. 1 on a Charge of Infdelity.

Few people are aware that the Felix Mayhew, who is creating so much no- toria,y in Yuma and Marieopa county over the discovery of rich mines in Yuma county, that he subsequently, bonded to eastern capitalists, and then was sued for a divorce by a woman named Mary Mahew, who asks for a division of his property, was a member of the Alvord-Stiles gang of outlaws that operated in Cochise county num- Der of years ago. Mayhew was one of the party of four, composed of Billy Stiles. Mat Burts, William Downing and Felix Mayhew, who on the first day of September, 1901 had planned to hold up inc Southern Pacific train at Benson, and even went so far as to go to the town of Benson, and had it not been for the backing dow of Burts and Maybew at the last monute, the train would have been robbed. The party left Wilcox on the day of the proposed holdup and went to Benson and stayed all night and were to hold up the west bound train that arrived there at about 4o'clock in the morning All went we'll and when the train pulled into the depot Stiles and Downing went around

No Basis of Comparison

In the trial of case in which Judge Pritchard, now of the Marion criminal court, was once sitting as judge pro tenn, one of the attorneys referred to the limb of law on the other side as a greater seoundrel than his client.
 Naturally, this charge made great commotion in the court. The lawyer charged with being scoundrel in this comparison was very wroth, both on his own account and on account of his client.
 "Is there anything in this case, y calmly asked the judge, "to establish the exact status of this client as a scoundrell I do not see that there is. Until that status is established there can be no just basis for comparison. Go on with the case. "-Indianapolis News.

The Megaphone

This instrument is now in common use in all sports and in public gatherings where the services of an announcer are required to inform the public what is about to happen, what has happened or may be expected to happen. It is sim ply, however, an enlargement of the speaking trumpet. It reminds one of old Stentor, the Greek herald in the Trojan war. His voice was as loud as that of fifty men combined. A mega phone for use at sea was invented by Sir Samuel Moreland over three centu- ries ago. He styled it "stentoro- phonic tube" Butler, in "Hudibras, " speaks of the "stentorophonic voice. " Verily-nothing new under the sum- New York Press.

to the front of the depot and were to cover the express messenger and cut off the express ear from the balance of the train and make the engineer pull it up a mile or two above Benson. May hew and Burts were to watch the side of the train to cover anyone who might try to stop the deal. Just as Stiles was about to crawl into the express ear, being acquainted with the messenger, having worked as a guard just few months previous. he and Downing dis covered that Burts and Mayhew were missing They not knowing what had happened backed away from the train and later found Mayhew hiding behind barrel near the depot and Burts lit tie further away. The deal was called off but not until Downing and Stiles had told Burts and Mayhew what they thought of them.
 Burts then told Stiles he was game and would show him. The Cochise deal was proposed and Stiles and Burts did the work on the 18th of Sep 'N"pNAs SNNuiiAk obVui ViNsVVN. DON ing was in on the deal but Mayhew knew nothing about it as he was let out by the gang when he showed cold feet at Benson.
 Mayhew was a witness in the courts at Tombstone and in Tucson at the time of the trials and it was principally on his and Stiles testimony that Downing was sent to the penitentiary at Yuma for seven years and which sentence Downing has just completed and re- turned to Tombstone during the past week.
 Mayhew's s wife who is suing him for a divorce, claims that she has been his lawful wife for over ten years and that last July he east her aside for young CT woman,a nd asks for divorce and a division of the property alleged to be worth about $600,000.

Electric Bulbs in High Places

A good deal of curiosity is occasioned when visitors to very high room or auditorium wonder how it is possible to reach the incandescent lamps when they burn out. The explanation is the use of long jointed pole which can be extended to great length. At the up- per end of the pole is holder, consist ing of wire fingers, which open by pull ing string and close tightly around the bulb by means of springs the mo- ment the cord is released. When the bulb is thus griped the lamp changer turns the pole and unscrews the lamp. Popular Mechanics

MITCHELL AGAIN
 IN L|MEL|GHT
IS FORGED OUT OF PRESIDENCY OF MITCHELL MINING COMPANY FOR ALLEGED MIsMANAGEBENT FIRED IN OLD MEXICO.

At recent meeting of the board of directors of the Mitchell Mining com pany, held in New York, George Mitch ell was forced out of the presidency of the company, and it was decided to ask the supreme court of New York for an injunction against any claims which Mir. Mitchell might bring against the company.
 F. A. l. Cassidy of Forest Glen, Mr., was elected president to succeed MT. Mitchell. The other officers will remain the same.
 This action was taken by the board of directors, it is said, on the grounds that there has been lack of good man. agement of the eompany's affairs by Mir. Mitchell. During the past few weeks the stock has sold around l.62, while year ago it sold at l4.75. The par value is $10.
 The Mitchell Mining company was in corporated under the laws of Arizona in 1902. In addition to its mines, the compan yowns in fee about 1S,000 acres of plantation and ranch lands and about 165,000 acres of timber lands, estimated to contain $2,0o0,000 worth of timber. The principal veins in the mining dis trict are copper, but there are also gold, silver and coal deposits.
 Some time ago there was meeting in the City of Mexico of the directors of the La Dicha Mining & Smelling company for the purpose, it is said, of eliminating George Mitchell from the management of the company. The re- suits of this meeting were reported at the meeting of the directors in New York.

AUTO LINE FROM SILVER
CITY TO SANTA RITA

Mrs. NJ. Welzel, proprietor of the
Santa Rita stage line, has decided to
put on a large auto car between Sill
yer City and Santa Rita, Hanover, FL
erro, Copper Flat and Central. The
car will arrive in about thirty days
and will be a REQ ten passenger Carry
all. When the car is Installed it is
contemplated to make two round trips
a day between the camps above named
and Silver City. 1t is anticipated that
the round trip can be made in about
three hours. The new line will prove
a great convenience to the residents
of the camps and of Silver City, af-
fording them a pleasant and quick
method of transportation. There is
no stage line connection at present
with Hanover and Fierro and the new
line will prove a great boon, especially
to the residents of those camps.-SI-
yer City Enterprise.
Silver City is also working to get
a telephone line to FL Paso.

Heavy Frosts Kill Fruit.
From San Juan County Index.

From San Juan County ndeX.
Later reports are coming in from
various parts of Colorado and New
Mexico that confirm the early esti-
mate of heavy fruit losses from the
freeze of last month. At Alamogordo
the water nydrants froze n fruit
growers report "a total loss. In the
Mesilla valley the entire fruit crop
was destroyed and nearly all of the
early vegetables froze. Around Ros-
well the peaches, apricots and plums
were ruined, and many apples. In
Colorado the western slope it is said
will have nothing but a light apple
crop. In San Juan county New Mexi-
CO, the damage to fruit is becoming
more visible and there may be some
orchards with a half crOp of apples.
Peaches, pears and plums are practic-
ally gone except in the upper n of
the country where the buds were less
advanced. Small fruits seem to De I'M
nurt.
San Juan county ranchers will plant
vegetables, sugar beets and other
crops and recoup their loss. 1t has
been many years since such a wide
spread loss WAS sustained in the fruit
section of the West.

SPRAY WHETHER FRUIT rs

From Las Vegas Optic.
Fruit growers are writing the Agri-
cultural College experiment station
of Colorado to know whether Dr. not
1T will be necessary to spray their APP
pie trees this year for the codhng
moth. The questions are being ask
ed by those who have lost most, il
not all of their crop by the late cold
weather.
If no fruit is being borne by the
trees, it will not be necessary to spray
for this insect, say the expert in
charge of the chronological depart
ment. Upon the other hand, if there
should be a very light crop of apples
h necessity for very thorough spray
ing will be greater than in ordinary
years, because the moths will hatch
in the usual numbers and will be COM
PEELED to concentrate their egg-laying
about the few apples that the orchard
is bearing. 1t is possible that the crop
may be so light in many instances
that the apples nay cor wormy
in spite of The spraying, and in such
cases I believe it woul be wise to de
stroy all the fruit early in the season
and in this way practically wipe out
the cooling moth depredations in your
vicinity for two or three years. In
every section where the apple or
chards bear this ear, fruit growers
should support their inspectors il ev-
cry reasonable manner in their efforts
to get every man who has bearing APP
pie trees to take care of mis- codling
moths and destroy all of them as near
Iy as possible. In his way some bene
fit may be derived o a year of ex-
IRENE shortage in fruit.

Of the rosy lip and the laughter-glee
And the CLEAN of the golden day;
When l was a child in the sunbright
bowers
That poet tell us of,
Oh, you, my sweet, was a little lass
in the land o. April love.
When l was a child in Already,
I rode on a magic steed,
And you rode, sweet, on your mann
mas knee
In the valleys of daring deed
And weaving away at their loom,
fairies gathered the garlands
sweet
From fields of the April bloom.
When was a child in that fair land,
l knew King Arthur then,
And the Avon tide and the great
greenwood,
And the haunt of the merry men.
I met you once in the fairy faith,
When you were a butterfly,
And danced all day in the golden ray
That fell from the opal sky.
Doesn't it seem a long while, dear,
Since we went wandering there,
Under the charm of the childhood
cheer,
When the lion laid down with the
bear?
