Justice Johnston fined them $50 apiece.
They raised the money and secured
their freedom. The picking up of 500

of the year is a very serious matter.
They were a couple of repentant
brothers yesterday morning, extreme

repentance had come too late to be of

Gus that there was no ground for the
exercise of leniency.
They had come to town in a hurry
to secure some parts of a broken
thresher. They had previously sent
to town for a gallon of whiskey and
out by the Aqua Fria they met the
messenger bringing it. They stopped
him and considerably lightened his
load. By the time they reached Phoe-
nix they had been worked up to the
canibalistic pitch.
They were accompanied by a younger
brother who tried to keep them out
of a fight at the o. K. saloon. Then

beer in his face and then slapped him
repeatedly. The boy could do nothing
but stand about and cry.

THE MANY WONDERS
OF lHE YOSEMITE
The Return of r. L. Long From
Visit to the Famous Park.

r. l.. Long, superintendent of ter
ritorial instruction has lately re-
turned from a tour of a month in
northern California. He spent most
of his time in the Yosemite which
he visited for the first time. What
he saw there was not quite accord
ingly to the impression he had gained
of that wonder but he was not dis
appointed. The valley is about a
mile wide and eight miles long, sur
rounded on all sides by precipitous
granite rocks. The MERGED river
runs through it and is really formed
in it by numerous falls which pour
in from all sides.
June is the month to see these
falls at their best when they are
laden with the melted SHOWS of the
mountains which lie farther back.
But at this time of the year only
three or four of the falls are work
ing The famous Bridal Veil which
greets visitors at the entrance is
just now a small and insignificant
water fall
Everything within the valley is un-
der regulation by the government,
prices and all, and in consequence
there is no robbery. One may live
at the Central hotel for So a day
and he can find lodging at any of
the numerous camps for 81 with
better board than he is liekly to
get in the average metropolitan no.
