CONQUEST OF
 THE CANYON
Russell and MOnett Near.
 ing Ind of PeriIous Trip
Great Preparation at Nee dies for the Reception of the Adventures Today.

Needles. Cal Feb 7.-(SpeciaD- Charles S. Russell and E. R. Monett, the miners who came all the way through the Grand Canyon in a six teen foot row boat. reached Fort Mo- jave, twenty miles north of here today and after telephoning the authorities here of their near arrival, started on down the river. Great preparations have been made to give the adventu- CTS a rousing welcome when they reach here. Russell telephoned that they might be expected to hove in sight at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. A suite of rooms in Reaction HalF' the rail- road hotel, has been reserved for them. and a reception in their honor will be held tomorrow night.
 Not since 1889, when Robert E. Stan ton landed here after a successful fight of 752 miles against the river. has there been so much excitement in town. In his telephonic conversation with the correspondent of The Repub- lican, Russell made the following state ment: "The river below Bright Angel for 15O miles is so much worse than the worst places in the 420 miles above that there is no comparison. I have never seen Niagara. but if the Dia- mond Creek rapids are not as danger Ous for a boat to live through. then Niagara must be more than water and rocks. After the damage to our boat in Hermit Creek rapid near Bright Angel trail. We did not dare to try to lower the boat through this fall. Mo- nett managed to climb down along the side of the rapids. but I shot them. The boat eapsized half way through, and l was unable to crawl out from un- derneath until we had been shot down into big eddy; at the bottom Monett helped me to get the boat ashore and We found that she was all right.
 'Monett carried all our exposed plates and thus saved our photographs We shall reach Needles at 10 o'clock in the morning. The river Is low in this flat country and We have had to push over sand bars half the time the last week. The end of the trip with about two days supply of provisions is pretty close figuring"
 Russell refused to divulge the suc- cess they had in the way of mineral in the second granite gorge where it is generally supposed exists the richest ore in all the length of the canyon.
 Starting September 20, from Green River, Utah. the men will have covered 752 miles in Al days if they reach here tomorrow. The last 332 miles from Bright Angel was made in 53 days.

TENACIOUS P0RKERS
 NOTED A ROW
Aeosta, the Shoemaker, Diseourses on the Virtues of Men and Things in General.

A row which had it's origin in a couple of porkers that had infested the premises of John Maddox. eliminated in the court of Justice Kyle yesterday and cost Maddox s15 to settle. Fran cisco Valenzuela and Maddox have ranches adjoining. located about four teen miles west of Phoenix. Day be- fore yesterday Valenzuela's two sons saw Maddox in the act of chastising the two ubiquitous pigs with a large stick, and trying to drive them through a dividing line fence, which was not altogether pig proof.
 Sisto AbOdaca who is employed by ValenZuela, was immediately dispatch ed to the scene of hostilities on a mis- sion of peace and to secure the pos session of the shoats. which belonged to his employer SistO as an advance agent and scouting party, was receiv- ed with unprintable epithets and an utter disregard for the flag of truce. However he brought home the bacon. Maddox still wrathy, followed and ap- piled vitupeNtion and invective to the whole Valenzuela family, further en- phasizing and punctuating his remarks with a gun. which he flourished, to blow off their heads. NalenZuela came to the city afterward, and on the warrant sworn out by him. Deputy Sheriff Wayne Davis went out and arrested Maddox. But for the features of the affair. the consciousness of the pOrkers. Maddox might have been more heavily assess ed.
 
 Justice Kyle also had before him for the 'steenth time, R. J. Acosta, the shoemaker, with a highly inflamma- ble temper. who was brought into court by his eInploye, James Connelo. who charged that Acosta failed to pay him his wages and added abuse to his other offenses.

'You man. set your snare just as you had

The man set his snare. The lion jumped
into II just as he had done before; he was
caught all over again in the net
