Charged with having broken jail in october. 1905, Tommia Taylor was yesterday arraignsd before Justice' Grier. where he was dismissed upon the evidence addUced. District Attor- ney ShelIey. before the echo of Jus tice Grier's decision could be heard, preferred another charge against the man and he was taken before Justice Burdick in this city, where he was last evening held to await the action of the grand jury in S1O00 bonds.

MERRITT WANTS COMPROMISED
 TRANSACTIONS
Brother of Duluth Broker Who Failed In City-Reported That Endeavor to Settle with Local Brokers Is on Foot,

The arrival of Thomas A. Merritt in the city last evening from Duluth, recalls to mind the failure of his brother during the recent slump in stocks. At the time of his failure. Merritt ascribed it to the refusal of certain people to accept stock which they had ordered at high figure and which later sold for less. Within the past few days it has been rumored on authority that the side of the case expressed by Merritt did not exactly convey the facts in the case.
 When a Review reporter called at the Copper Queen hotel last evening for the purpose of interviewing Mir. Merritt in regard to the facts in the case as it was understood he was here for the purpose Of trying to straighten out his brothers affairs, that gentle man sent back word that he had re- tired although it was very early in the evening
 The report which has been going the rounds of the city lately is to the effect that local brokers did not order stock from Merritt, and that when he offered to deliver it they refused to accept II, anu ITOHl LHe IdclS lL SSSnlS that they were fully justified in re- fusing the stock.
 It is stated that several months ago one of the local brokers ordered sever. al hundred shares of a stock which was very active at that time from MT. Merritt at 2 certain figure. The broker waited for several weeks and as he did not receive the stock, and fearing that 1t would take a jump to a much higher figure he bought 1t in the open market and delivered it to his clients. Now it seems this stock had fallen below that figure at which the broker originally ordered it of Merritt, and because he is at last ready to deliver. he feels that the local house should accept the stock, and pay a price for it, which is very much above what it could be bought for today.
 The report states further that Mer. ritt has been endeavoring to get the local broker to take the stock, and not succeeding, has sent his brother to try and at least arrange a com, promise.

SUPERVISORS ACT ON IMPORTANT
 MATTERS
Bids Wanted for Sinking Four Wells for ArteSian Water on. County Farm at Hereford, Donated by w, c, Greene.
Especial to Reyiew.A

TOMBSTONE, April 6.--The Board of Supervisors adjourned last evening and returned to their respective homes, to reconvene on the 18th day of May. The board during the past siderable business that will be of gen eral interest to the citizens and tax payers of the county.
 One of the most important was the resolution passed by the board, in- structing the clerk to advertise for bids for the sinking of four artesian wells on the county poor farm, near Hereford. The bids called for will ask for prices on the sinking of four wells of 4, 6, s and 10 inches respectively, to a depth where a sufficient flow of wa ter is encountered to irrigate the largest part of the farm, and will be opened on May 18th. The farm, it will be remembered. consists of 320 acres, adjoining the property of the Greene Cattle Company at Hereford, and was donated last year by Colonel w. c. Greene to the county. With the farm under irrigation and suitable buildings erected, the county will be in excellent shape to take care of its poor and at a saving of considerable expense, as those unfortunates are now being held in the county hospital where their expense is quite an item to the county. The board intends to put the farm in good shape this year and will make 1t as comfortable as possible for those who are staying there.

cole Hundred" scares Birds.

1t is a strange but well authenticate
ed fact that the wild creatures of the
woods dislike the sound of that solemn
hymn "Old Hundred Muir, the nat
uralist, proved the truth of this by
singing it in the woods of the Sierras
to the birds and squirrels, which were
very tame from never having been
frightened by the report of a gun or
other alarming sound. They would
come and sit near him upon the
branches Of trees and listen to any
lively tune he might sing, blinking
their bright eyes as though they liked
it, but at the first sound of "Old Hun
dred' they would beat a quick retreat
to their holes or nests and never ap-
pear again until he changed the tune.
This experiment was made in different
places on various occasions with ex-
actly the same result.-New York Her

THE TREE DOCTOR.
His Mestod of Treating a Trunk That
Is Decaying.

Is G-CdylflSs
When a tree doctor treats a decayed
tree he begins by cutting an aperture
in the tree large enough to allow him
to get at the inside and remove all the
decayed wood This is essential to the
success of the operation. When this
work has been done the cavity is ready
to be filed. The composition used in
case Of large filings contains five parts
of sand to one part of portland cement.
except for the outer part, where these
ingredients are used half and half, this
outer coating being several inches,
thick. TO hold the cement in place
while it is hardening 4 stout tin or
zinc is employed, this being secured to
the trunk of limb in way to preserve
the natural shape. Tie tin is put on in
strips, being fastened with round steel
nails having 4 broad head and a small
shank. The strips are wide enough to
lap over upon the sound wood, and the
nails are placed from half an inch to
an inch apart, according to the strain
Imposed
The first strip of tin is put On at the
lower part of the aperture and the ce-
ment put in until it reaches nearly to
the top of the tin. Then a second strip
is put on, tapping over the other two
Or three inches, and the two nailed to-
gether. Then more cement is used, and
so on until the cavity Is filed the last
strip of tin being bent down while the
final application Of cement is being
puddled into place and the cavity en-
tirely filed, and then it is Strengthened
up and nailed in place. In case of
extra large cavities large sheets of tin
or sheet iron are nailed on the outside
to prevent the tin from bullying out
until the cement has hardened when
they can be removed. The smaller the
cavity the larger are the strips of tin
employed, as the strain is proportion
ately less. In twenty-four hours time
the cement will have hardened COM
pletely, and the tin may all be removed.
This remedy is applied successfully
to fruit trees as we'll as shade trees

A LESSON IN. NERVE.
The Laundry Didn't Charge For the
Ruined Shirt.

The Laundry Didn't Charge For the
Ruined Shirt.
''When 1 came TO open my bundle
of stuff sent home from the laundry
this morning." said the bachelor man,
81 found in If, sent back washed, but
not ironed, one shirt that had pinned
to it ticket reading like this:
GIVE are returning this shirt on ac-
count of it not being in condition
to withstand ironing
This was new one to me, but
when 1 came to open up the shirt apd
looked it over I didn't wonder that
they hadn't tried to iron it; one arm
was all but torn from its socket, and
there was a hole punched through one
cuff, with q tear extending from this
hole for an inch OF two up the sleeve.
The shirt was sure not in condition for
ironing, but how did it get so?
81 certainly never sent it to the laun-
dry in that shape. I'd have had hard
work tearing the sleeve out of the
shoulder the way this enc was torn,
and 1 couldn't have made that hole

sharp and big punch. Clearly the
shirt had been torn and mangled in
that manner by being caught in the
laundry machinery, and so 1 wrapped
it up in a neat little bundle and took
it over to the laundry office, intending
to make claim for the value of it.
I spread the shirt out on the counter
and called the clerks attention to it
and told him that couldn't have torn
the shirt in that manner; it must have
been done in the laundry, and how
about it?
WELL said the clerk, we made no
charge for it.
GAS the full significance of this came
upon me-they had torn my shirt all
to pieces, but they didn't make any
charge for it'll staggered back, and
I kept On staggering that way until 1
had got out of the door.
Il shall never make any further
claim for the shirt. 1 got back far
more than its value in that lesson in
clear, cold nerve."-New York Sun.

SLEEP AND DEATH.
Neither Pain Nor Consciousness at ths
Instant OF Either.

Neither Pain Nor Consciousness at ths
Instant OF Either.
The phenomenon called sleep may be
summed up in the following PROPOSE
tons, says writer in the Cosmopoli-
tan:
First-Sleep is temporary death OF
the functions of the sensitive system,
due to exhaustion by fatigue.
Secondly-This death is temporary
because the vital system continues to
perform its functions during sleep and
restores the sensitive organs to their
normal condition.
For our purpose death may be con-
sidered under the three heads-natural
death, sudden death and death from
disease. Natural death is death from
old age. 1t differs from natural sleep
only in degree.
The gradual loss of sensibility by the
sensitive organs which precedes sleep
now takes place in the vital system,
and all the organs pass into permanent
sleep together. There can be no pain
preceding or at the moment of such
ceding or at the moment of passing
into temporary sleep.
Sudden death may be defined as
death due to a sudden injury from
without or within the body sufficient
to destroy at once all i1ritability of
both the sensitive and vital systems.
1t requires no argument to prove that
a person who is suddenly stricken dead
can suffer no pain. The element of
time must be present in order to suffer
physical pain, and in the sudden death
of a person the element of time is alb
sent
We come now to consider the third
and by far the most frequent form Of
death-namely, death from disease.
As soon as disease Is established dy-
ing begins, which is but more rapid
than natural ceasing of all sensibili-
ties, accompanied with more or less
suffering, according to the cause which
produces it. This dying and suffering,
called disease, must terminate either
in so called death, which is insensibil-
ity to 1t, or in recovery, which is re-
moval of the cause Of it. But in any
event the suffering has been endured,
no matter whether the final termina-
ton is death or recovery.
No one is conscious of or can recall
the moment he passes from waking in
to natural or temporary sleep. Nor
shall we, by supreme agony" or in
any other way, be conscious of passing
into permanent sleep.
Being born and dying are the two
most important physiological events in
the life history Of our bodies, and we
shall know no more about the latter
event at the time it occurs than we did
about the former.
Romance of Failure.
Failure is nearly always more To-
mantle than success. As a rule, when
once a man is comfortably successful
he ceases to be interesting London

LONG BOW STORIES.
Legends of the Famous Archers of the
Remote Past.

Many "long bow" stories may be
cited in the literature of the world,
and by far the greater part of them
had their origin in the remote past
Vergil, in the "-flneid," tells of four
archers who were shooting for Il prize,
the mark being Il pigeon tied by cord
TO the mast of ship. The first man
hit the mast, the second cut the cord,
and the third shot the pigeon as it
flew away The fourth archer, having
nothing left at which to shoot, drew
his bow and sent his arrow flying
toward the sky with such speed that
the friction of the air set the feathers
on fire, and it swept on like a meteor
to disappear in the clouds.
That is Il bow and arrow story that
tests the strongest powers of credulity
The stories of Robin Hoods archery,
illustrated by his wonderful perform
ance as Locksley in SCOTS ''Ivanhoe,"
power of belief
The famous legend of William Tell
is believed by some to have a founda-
ton in fact. There was Dane named
Fole of whom the same story was
told, and William of Cloudesley, an
Englishman, is said to have shot an
apple from his sons head merely to
show his skill.
The majority of bow and arrow
stories relate to the accurate aim of
the archeTs, but a Frenchman, Blaise
de Vigenere, tells one in which the
main point is the tremendous force
with which an arrow may be propelled
if the bow is strong and long enough.
According to his own account of the
matter, he saw Barbarossa Il Turk,
admiral of a ship called the Grand
S0lyman, send an arrow from his bow
clean through a cannon ball. Whether
the cannon BAH had hole In it or
not he neGlects to inform US.
Perhaps the most astounding of all
stories about arrow shooting is that
of the Indians who used to inhabit
Florida. Il is said that a group of
them would form circle; one would
throw an ear of corn into the air;
the rest would shoot at it and shell
it Of every grain before it fell to the
ground. Sometimes The arrows would
strike the car OF corn 50 hard and fast
that it would remain suspended in the
air several minutes, and the cob never
fell until the Hast grain had been shot
