IN GALL0WS' SHADOW,
 STILL LOVES F0NDLY '

SOLOMONVILLE. Aug. 17.-Martin Palma, confined in the county jail at Solonmonyille charged with the mur- der of Marguerite Garcia near Thatch- CT in December, 1905, and who will be tried at the fall term of district court, is preparing to make a strong fight to save his neck from the hang mans moose. It is said that he has many friends in the valley who have been busy during the past few weeks raising funds for his defense, and that $500 has already been pledged. An effort is being made to secure the services of Hon. Wiley E. Jones of Palma, and it is likely that this bril- liant criminal lawyer will consent to take the case
 While Palma seems to have 8 pret- ty hard case he looks hopefully into the future and expresses the belief tha he will ultimately come clear and will then fbe at liberty to secure a divorce from the woman who betrayed
 him and to marry the wealthy Mexi- can woman he met while residing in Bakersfield, Cal, where he was ar rested.
 It will be remembered that shortly after the murder Palma skipped out. first going to Old Mexico and later to Bakersfield, Cal, where he assumed the name of Gabriel BustitoIs and won the heart of a wealthy woman,
 to whom he was about to be married
 when arrested
 Palma had a friend in Thatcher with whom he correspon6ed during the days when he was a fugitive from justice. Mrs. Palma learned of fhis fact, and going to the Thatcher post office called for mail addressed to this
 friend. She opened letter in which
 Palma reviewed at length his good fortune and stated that he was about to be married. She hastened to Sher- | If Anderson with this missive and the murderer's arrest soon followed. It is said that there are two eye

NEW ROAD GREAT HELP ID CLIFTON Reduces Freight Bills to Both Mines and Business
 Men.

CLIFTON. Aug. 1.-The Clifton Northern railroad has now laid about 1000 feet of its track ir North Clifton connecting with the A. c. inc to the New England ore bins. The track will be standard guage to the ore bins. with third rail, making it pos sible to run narrow gauge cars over the line. The company now has a large amount of steel and ties on hand which will enable it to go ahead with the work from the ore bins up as fast as desired. This road will be of much convenience to the New Eng land, as well as other companies above town who have shipping ore.
 In addition to the transportation of ores the road will be of much ben eft to North Clifton business men, as well as the New England, in the handling of freight. Upon the com pletion of the standard gauge it will be possible to swithch cars to that part of town to be unloaded. This will curtail expense and delay in the handling of freight. The railroad will curtail expense and delay in the handling of freight. The railroad will be the means of opening up the upper part of the district and it is important that the road should be finished and locomotives put on as soon as pos sible.
 The grade of he tram will be used for the new road and it will be nee. essary to do some blasting just above the ore bins. It will pass over the present Hume site, and the railroad company will make a tunnel for handling the Hume water.
 Dell NJ. Porter, president of the Clifton Northern, informed the Era that he nows feels as though the Northern is a full grown railroad having had a wreck this week. A car got loose and ran off the end of the road wrecking things to some ex- tent.

GROVE LOSES IN TWO MINE
 CASES
Famous Suit Carried to United States Supreme Court Re- suits in Arizona Court Being Upheld in Full.

PHOENIX, Aug. 17.-Mandates in two Arizona cases are here at the office of the clerk of the supreme court from the United States supreme court, the decisions of which had sus- tained the supreme court of this ter ritory which had reversed the find ings of the district court of Pima county.
 One suit was that of George W. Grove against NJ. NJ. Tricky admins trator of the estate of Norman H. Chapin. The other was the case of George w. Grove against Henry Har- mon, administrator of the estate of Jerry Neville. The issues in both cases were precisely the same.
 In 1898 Chapin and Neville were the owners, each of a one-fourth interest in the Pride of the West mine in Pima county. They entered into a verbal contract with Grove, by which the latter was to bring a sale of their interests each for s50,000 and for his compensation was to receive ten per cent of the selling price. Grove sue ceeded in bringing them and A. R. Wilfley together with the result that Wilfley was given options by both Chapin and Necille who executed deeds for the property and these deeds were placed in escrow. The options expired and the deeds were returned. A year later, both Neville and Chapin were dead. Trickey be came administrator of the estate of the latter and Harmon of the former. |; Wilfley subsequently resumed nego- fiaeions with the administrators of the estates for the purchase of the mining
 property and again was given options Again the options expired. Sometime
 after that, in 1900 negotiations were
 reopened and this time the deal was consummated.
 Grove made a demand upon the ad
 ministrators for his commission of | $5 ,000 in each case, but the demand | was rejected and he brought suit in | the district court of Pima, where he
 was given judgment for the amount sued for. An appeal was taken to the supreme court of this territory which 1 in a lengthy opinion reversed the find | ings of the court below. It was held ! in a general way that nothing re suited from the contract entered into | between Grove on one side, and Chap 1 in and Neville on the other. and that 1 contract could not have been giveI new life so as to affect the negOtia tions which were afterward begun be | tween the administrators and Wilfley ] the former acting, not for Chapin and Neville, but for their estates. Thi: view of it was taken by the United ! States supreme court.
 The fact that the act of Grove 1T
 calling the attention of Wilfley to tht
 mining property. had probably result ! sd in the ultimate sale of it two years i later, was not taken into consideTa l ton by the court. which had no power 1 to recompense him for any indefinite ! service he might have performed. Tht suit was brought on the contract witf ! Neville and Chapin and that was helC
 to have expired long before the sal( ] of the property.

Next Sundays game between the Elks and Chiricahuas will be the final and mightiest tussle between the two teams. Every consideration has been cast to the winds except the one of winning; good looks, good figures, popularity. social position, all go for nothing beside the essential ability to play ball.
 Each team will show four or five bright new faces. Each player will have earned his place through slow process in the weeks practice during which the rule of the survival of the fit alone obtains. Who wins that game wins the Douglas championship and not one of the players on either nine has been allowed to forget it.
 The Chiricahua lineup is not quite complete, but the Elks have already chosen theirs. Neither array is as il has been. Following is the Elks team:

FAIRBANKS HERO UNDER
 FALSE PRETENSES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-What is ing rescue by Vice President Fair banks, of a beautiful young waitress who was about to drown in a pond in Yellowstone park several weeks ago, was told today by members of a party of Washington newspaper men who were in the park at the time. Accord ing to their narrative of the incident the attenuated form of Indiana's long est son was folded calmly inJ an easy chair on the porch of the hotel at which he was a guest. He was dis cussing common place topics with a party of friends.
 Suddenly the shrill cry of 8 woman in distress resounded through the park fastness. She had fallen into a pond where the water was two feet deep. Some boys who were in the vicinity waded in and assisted her to the shore. In the meantime the vice president and his friends who heard the cry. scurrfed to the waters edge.
 The vice president expressed. his sorrow over tEB. incident and coRgrat- ulated the young men on their gallant " and hseroism, but, according to the story of the Washington journalists, not so much as wet the soles of his shoes or laid hands upon the victim of the splash. Two hours afterward, when the woman had fully recovered dried her clothes and was able to re sume her duties in the dining room the party of Washington correspond ents reached the hotel and were told the story.
 There chanced to be- present the correspondent of newspaper in In dianapolis, owned in part at least, by the vice president The result was that the thrilling story of the great act of heroism performed by Fair banks was given to the world

Looked Like a Crime

About week ago some boys in fishing on Hatley's pond east of town found near the bank a batch of woman's clothing, and later discovered hanging on a snag in the lake what look like a dress. Fishing with long pole they caught hold of the garment, and pulling it out of the water, they discovered that something was tied in bundle at the end, which they took to be the body of a baby. They were too fright ened to make further investiga- tion, and were further afraid to
The Prescott daily news., 1907-07-08

tell anyone about it. However the report got current yesterday, and an investigation is being made today, which has revealed that there is probably nothing to it.
 The clothing was found, but what was thought to have been the body of a child, was a sinker placed to hide the clothing from view; what looked like blood was red paint; and what was mistaken for hair, was the messy grass that grows in the bottom of the lake. Somebody had discarded some old clothing, and a sensa- tion was the result.

FOR LIGHT PLANT
Offers Proposition for Plans to
Convert Old Pump-House Into
Electric Station.
TuRPlN AGAINST lunKETlNG
President Holds Up Appropria-
ton to Send Council to
Jamestown.
TuRPIN AGAINST lUNKETlNG

Alderman w T. Dabney is deter
mined not to permit his electric light
plant proposition to die IL there is any
way to keep it alive, and he adopts
some new way nearly every time there
is meeting of either branch of the
Council.
AT an adjourned meeting of the
Board of Aldermen last night he Of
fered a resolution, which was referred
TO the Finance Committee, appropriate
ing $4,000 to secure plans and spccifi-
cations for converting the Old Pump
House into an electric light station.
MIR. Dabney did not discuss the matter
further than to say that he offered the
resolution for the purpose of helping
along his electric light plant scheme.
No one objected to It. as the patron
made no attempt to have it passed
but stated that it was intended for
reference. It has a distinct bearing
however, on the fight for an electric
light plant, which Mr.. Dabney has
been and is now so vigorously leading.
Turpin Calls Halt.
Several other matters of considerable
public interest were brought up and
disposed of at the meeting, although
this was the third one held to clear
up the regular calendar for one month
Only fourteen members were present
Just enough to pass any appropria-
tion measure-and when the resolution
to set aside $500 to pay the expenses
of the members of the Council to the
Jamestown Exposition on Richmond
Day came up. President Turpin said
from the chair, "Gcntlemen, YOU hat
just as we'll let that matter go by, fol
L am going to vote against It's adop-
tion. One vote will kill the PROPOSE
| ton tonight, and I'll never vote fol
5000 for junketing trip for the Coun.
Gil to an exposition"
| For this reason the matter went over
and will come up at the next meeting
An ordinance to appoint clerk t,
the committee for looking after the
affairs of the annexed territory was
concurred in, and one was passed FOL
the issuance of s1S6,600 of bonds tt
! redeem a similar amount falling due
on July !, 1907.

appropriating $1,000 for general eX.
