SCRIBE GONE WRONG.

About three weeks ago a man giving
his name as James II. Nicholson, and
claiming that he was a special mining
correspondent for the Los Angeles Ex-
.aminer. appeared in Mesa and applied
for transportation to Globe over the
stage line. He had no money but said
that he had plenty of it at his desti-
nation, which had been sent on ahead
'Of him. He learned that he could not
ride the stage even on the best of
promises and he then confined his ac-
tiyities to working on the sympathies
-of the newspaper men and l. O. O. F.
order of the city. From here it is
learned that he went to Bisbee. where
he secured employment on the Review.
He had not dipped his quill i'm the ink
but a few times TO let the dear people
know that he was writing things for
the Review, until he happened to think
that il was time to take a drink. Drinks
cost money in Bisbee and after the
mining expert learned this he dug deep
into his breaches pocket but he could
strike no lead. so pens and ink being
handy he wrote locals and checks. the
latter being the means of him estab-

cashed at a saloon and it was not
long until he was not only a represen-
tative Of the Examiner but he owned
the whole paper and was getting out
special anniversary editions every If
teen minutes. The checks which had
been written on a Bisbee bank when
presented for collection were no good
because Nicholson had never had
money on deposit there.

may be sweet but to others seem only

WHEAT HEADED OUT.

Chas. Mullen has a sample OF green

which he has placed on exhibit at

are not long but the grains are plump
and the meshes well filled. While
wheat maturing at this time of the
year is not ordinary. it shows the result
of a growing climate the year around
and incidentally it would be a charac-
teIistic of the country that the folks
back east would like to know.

cline has gone far enough and dis
counts the stringency in the banking
world The market today was only a
scalping affair and held fairly well
above last nights quotations with a
little easiness manifested when the
New Orleans estimate came out. 1t
now begins to look that our Southern
friends are beginning to feel the tight
money as we are receiving numerous
messages, especially from Texas, that
indicate that the banks are beginning
to close in on their customers. New
Orleans was heavy buyer here DUR
ing the entire session, but the local
bears let them have all they wanted
around 10 cents. The market will
have to absorb some heavy liquida-
ton on every hard spot now and we
are inclined to think that outside sup
port will not come to the rescue. Spots
are being offered today on last night
quotations but the buyers seem to
be holding aloof.

over actual worth of material and

come direct to this store. 1t doesn't
cost the maker a penny to place them
