BABY WASTED ID
 MERE SKELETON
In Torments a Year and a Half with Terrible Sores on Face and Body Hands Tied to Stop Scratching and Tearing at Flesh But
CURE BY CUTICURA
 COMPLETE AND SPEEDY

My little son, when about a year and a half old began to have sores come out on his face. I had a phy- sician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then called another physi- clan. Still he grew worse. At the end of about year and half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. So great was her faith in 1t that she gave me a small piece of Cuticura Soap to try and a little Cuticura Ointment. l took it home without any faith, but to please her I tried it, and it seemed to dry up the sores a little. l sent to the drug store and got cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment and followed the directions, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my pre- cious child would have died from those terrible sores. l used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment.

OFF FOR SACRAMENTO.

C. Norton left last evening for Sacra- mento to attend the annual session of the Irrigation Congress, though he will stop a da-- or so to see his family, en route. He goes as d delegate repre- seEting the American National Live Stock association instead of the board of trade, as formerly announced. The congress is not the onl.' attraction for him either, as he will also attend the joint convention Of the various veter- mary associations os the coast which will meet in Sacramento on the 4th. lt is expected that a number of the leading veterinarians of the country will be there and that important pa pers will be read. In respect of the Irrigation Congress it is we'll to repeat again that at the last moment, some of the delegates named by Governor Kibbey and the local associations. have found it impossible to attend. owing to press of other business. It is very desirable to have a large repre- sentation and it there are any citizens who would like to go and can do so they can no doubt secure proper ere dentials by asking for them.

WAS VIM. KEARNEY KILLED?-

Marshal Moore has received a letter from Robert '. Kearnev of Ocean Park Cal, who wishes to learn if the report that man by the name of William Kearney was recently killed in a sa- loon in this city by a Mexican. No such shooting has taken place in Phoe- nix, but 1t is possible that it might have taken place in some other town in the territory and MT. Kearney's in- formant got .the facts mixed. He is very anxious to learn further about the matter. as he has not seen nor heard from his brother since he enlisted in the Spanish American war and went to Manila. He writes that his informant said that paper in which he read the account of the shooting of a man by the name of Kearney. stat cd that the man had been a member of the First California volunteers, and that the description suited his brother. Possibly some of the territorial papers can give a little information on the subject.

THEODORE HAFFNER
 ACCUSED OF FELONY
He Pleaded Guilty and Said He Was Getting Of Cheap-He Expected to Be Hanged.

It will be recalled that a few weeks
 ago. Justice of the Peace D. r. Kyle received from his wife. who is at ocean Park, a photo post card bear ing the pictures of Theodore Haffner and herself enjoying an automobile ride. and the legend to her perspiring spouse ia Arizona. that he had lost out" The justice, not wishing to be Outdone, had his photograph taken with that ot lady of their mutual ac- quaintance, and forwarded it to Mrs Kyle. He received by return mail a reply from Mrs. Kyle saying she refus- ed to De jealous, and he would have to play a stronger game than he had so far done. if he wanted to win.
 Alr. Haffner returned home the oth-
 CT day. and the court feeling that he
 must do something to enforce respect.
 decided to have him arrested. Obvi- ously he could not try the case himself. so he called in Judge O. C. Sharpe to
 preside. Judge Sharpe appointed T. J. Duncan, who recently returned from Ocean Park, as q special sheriff. A complaint was made out and signed by Judge Kyle as complaining wit ness and O. C. Sharpe as special jus tice of the peace. A warrant for the arrest Of Haffner vas issued and serv- ed by Mir. Duncan.
 The complaint charges that on or about August s. Theodore Haffner committed a felony at Long Beach.
 Maricopa count- Arizona. by disturz-
 ing the peace and quiet of the family of D. r. K--le in ocean Park Cal, by making holy show of himself in an au-
 tomobile and enticing Mrs. Kyle to go riding with him and having her pro- .tograph taken in his company.
 MT. Haffner appeared for trial yes terday afternoon at ? o'clock. George
 MintZ appeared for the territory but
 Haffner was unable to secure q lawyer and the court refused to appoint one. MT. Haffner demurred that disturbing the peace was not a felony and the court explained that that was the very reason a felony had been charged. so he could not appeal the case and his conviction was a cinch. Haffner then said he wanted a change of venue This was denied on the ground that the application was in the nature of a personal insult to the court Haffner then pleaded guilty but he remarked that he did not believe he could get Justice in that court. "Of course. you can't said the court. ''it is not jus- tice We want on this occasion, but drinks. and we propose to have them" The bailiff then took an inventory of MT Haffner's pockets and the fine was assessed with judicial appropriateness
 Before adjourning, however. Judge Sharpe assessed the costs of the case to Judge Kyle. the complaining wit ness He said that they might be "li- quidated.' if his credit was good across the alley, without putting up the cash in court. He held the ruling to be a fair one as the complaining witness had undoubtedly exhibited a pernicious activity in working up the case. After lining all the witnesses for contempt who had been invited to come and en- joy the fun and had snubbed the invi- tation, court was adjourned.

THE ARIZONA DAM
 BROKEN BY FLOODS
The Line to Roosevelt is Out of Com mission ard 70 Facts Can be Learn ed as to the Results of the Biggest Flood of the Year.

The Arizona Canal dam went out last evening as a result of the high flood conditions which have prevailed for the past tWenty-four hours. When the dam went out there was 30.000 inches of water in the Arizona canal, but immediately upon the release of the waters it dropped to 10000 inches The farms will not suffer much from the break, as all have been wet and the canals have ben running full. The canals are all in good condition and as soon as the flood subsidies the gov ernment forces will immediately begin the work of repairing the damage.
 Engineer Reed of the reclamation service. will leave this morning for the damsite to investigate the conditions. So much water is in evidence at pres ent that TO definite conclusion can be reached as to the extent of the break, and the amount of work which will be required to mend it. Last night MT. Reed could not say whether the run of water in the canals could be main tained or not. However. water will be sent down if possible to fill all stock water holes against an emer- gency.
 This is the highest flood of the year. Salt river is at high stage and can not be safely forded. All communica- tion has been cut off from Roosevelt. as the telephone line is down and out of commission. No reports as to the effect of the flood at Roosevelt have been received. The work there is at such a stage that it is thought that the worst that can happen will be

Bear Hunting,

Bear hunting, with the assistance of
guides supplied with well trained
pack of hounds, may be satisfactory if
merely the killing of them is desired.
but 1t certainly is no sport and de-
serves not even to be ranked with trap
ping bears. as in the latter case the
hunter must possess at least some
knowledge of the quarry's habitat and
habits. Unlike q fox, a bear, when
once found By the hounds, stands no
chance whatever of escaping, and
there would be Just as much sport In
shooting the animals In park or pen
as to kill a run to bay bear. And,

lions also, there is not even the ex.

which is applicable as Tar as the lat
