RISK DEATH AND LIKES IT.
A Steeple Jack Who Prefers to Work
at Dizzy Heights.

If. in the pursuit of your life's vOca-
ton. you had seen five men drop from
your side at n dizzy height to a terri
BILE death below. would you continue in
that vocation? If you did persist in
it, would you have sufficient confidence
in yourself to retain your nerve" un-

years.

many exciting experiences in the life
of Fl. +. Ciiisky') Evans. "Steeple
Jack" s,
Risky" Evans is a type of the dare
devils that are growing scarcer each
year. The inventions of modern times
have eliminated much of the necessity
for risk which was run in necessary
climbing of steeples and high buildings
in the earlier days. He himself has
been one of the foremost in making the
business of those who must work at
high attitudes as safe and as easy
as if they had solid ground be-
meath their feet. But still. every once
in while Risky" finds ii necessary

rope on which to swing a scaffold, or
to attach block and pulley that his
men. less versed In the art of climbing,
may perform their duties with safety.

at great heights as nonchalantly as
does the average person on the ground.

T. Jefferson Evans and the In- dian band passed through here on Wednesday evening en route to Flagstaff, having in charge about fifty .Wallapai squaws for the cele- bration in that town. Several years since when T. Jeff was riding the range out and around "Kiota" Springe he obtained a patent on a peculiar knot which could be tied in a sheep's tail to prevent the ami. nal from jumping through barbed wire fencing. Later on Mir. Evans disposed of his patent to an eastern tenderfoot at a handsome figure, and since then has been taking life easy down San Pedro way and other European resorts. In reply to the inquiry as to why he and his squaws did not stop here and cele- brate with us, T. Jeff replied by stating that most all of his old time friends had passed beyond or had moved away, and that Will jams, with her modern ideas and up to date mode of doing things did not eeem good to him. and that he much preferred a sleepy old town like Flagstaff, where every thing remains the came as it did years aud years ago. It is hoped T. Jeff will visit us before be re. turns to the reservation.
