some time he was lowered to the
ground and given an opportunity to
share the desired information with his
friends, but he was still unwilling; and
a second application also failing to
elicit any knowledge from him, he was
set free, his captors thinking that after
all he might be wrongly suspected. The
tree on which the operation took place
was afterwards known as the AL Scott
tree and remained a prominent land
mark in the highway until it was cut
down a few years ago for firewood, much
to the regret of the old settlers.
At one time there was quite an eN-
eitment over the alleged discovery of
gold on the Scott place in the bed of
Saad Creek. There was considerable
snpgns OF gold found; but there is rea-
son to believe that the particular spot
where the supposed discovery was made
had been sailed for commercial purposes
that the value of the land being raised
Scott would be able to sell his farm at
high price. However, the plan did not
I work, for the gold was sought with such
avidity that the supply gave out before
any trade for the farm was consummat-
cd and the excitement soon dled out.
The sailing of the creek bed was easily
accomplished by collision with one or
more of the many gold seekers who
we're constantly passing to and fro on
the California trail during the days of
the gold fever in forty-nine and the
fifties. The Scott place was noted
resort for such parties. The farm re-
NAMED in his possession until 1876
when it was sold to Stephen Beach.
But Scott was not all bad. lie had
his good points. Like most of US he was
4 mixture of the worse and the better
elements in the human aggregation. he
was generous and hospitable. Every
body was welcome to his board, and nc
one was refused bed when occasion
required. The needy were never turned
away empty handed and those in wan
of accommodation cheerfully received
! such help as he could give. But lik'
many another free hearted soul VIII
failed in recognition of the higher as
poets of life, he lived long enough t.
z become pensioner on the bounty Q
his friends. He was unsuited to tn
conditions that followed the war; nj
property gradually frittered away unit
he found himself without home, bu
not altogether without friends.
Others of the old pioneers will b
noticed in further paper.

You can depend on DR.. A. W. Chase's Kid.

rule.
They effect prompt and thorough movement
of the bowels and as they do not lose their
effect the dose does not have to be increased

With other pills had to continually increase
the dose but l only take one-half pill twice a

Besides the solo work the program was enriched and varied bv duets, quartetes and duos. Four and eight hand arrangements are seldom more finely developed than were those of yesterdays program. They were not only choice in themselves but were given with a. brilliance. as well as a fine sense of phrasing, grasp and plastic rhythm and feeling for can tabile. not always shown in such con- certed work. After the program Miss Peck and her pupils were recipients of many congratulations.
 A large number taking part are ad- vanced players. a number of whom have been appearing from year to year and each performance shows a con- stant developing of new powers in technique and instrumentation and that they bid to take high rank as pianists.

GRAND PARADE OF BASEBALL TEAMS
Led by Band Before Easter Day Com. bats in City League.

The Industrial band was yesterday to lead the parade of ball teams which will take place at 1:30 o'clock from the Ford hotel to Third street where they will take the car for the ball park. All eyes were last night turned on the heavens wondering how Easter would be ushered in, whether with fair weather or rain. This wondering ex- tended beyond the rank of those who will blossom out, the glass of fashion and mold of form, in spring toggery, but to the anxious fans and managers of the four hines who hope to inaugu- rate series of interesting swatfests. Given a fair day and a banner attend ance is counted as dead cinch.
 Gormely will rule from the seat of the mighty, swaying the destiny of the umpires as umpire of them all, the Beet Eaters from Glendale, the Or phans, the Maroons and the Fraternals of Phoenix. The first two named teams will play the opening game beginning at 2:30 o'clock and promptly at 3:30 o'clock the second game will be started. The reappearance of Delgado as the man in the box is looked forward to with interest. Del was in good form the first of last season but toward the end of the summer seemed a back number and many predicted that his pitching days were over, tndt he was a dead one as finger of the spherOid. The Maroons look upon Del as still on the eligible list for the pitching staff and say he has better speed and con trol than last summer. Chutnicut the Indian will receive. The Fraternals lineup is considered the strongest ar ray of ball tossers the lodge has boast ed of this season. And the lodge is backing its nine up on grand style.
 Lewis will have Harry Harter back in the game as catcher. Harter made good there with the Athletics when they were playing at their best in the first part of 1907. Vermuelen will start off as twirler for the Fraternals, Will Hams and Cuber being kept in reserve. The positions of the players on the various organizations will be about as given in yesterday mornings issue.

Harvey houses and cafes are estab- lished Many Californians though loath to make the concession, freely acknowledged tEat the product grown here was much finer than that pro- ducd at home. This grape fruit was distributed all along the Santa Fe lines and over the Frisco way down to Birmingham, Alabama. And as with the cantalOupes the name Salt river valley grape fruit was on the menu card, to call attention to the brand and the place where they grew. MT. Plowman said that the demand for grape fruit would grow. The Amount raised would not nearly supply the trade. The Harvey system could use a great many more boxes in the sea son than 1t can buy, that is of the fine fruit grown here.

Large Audiences Pleasantly Enter tained Yesterday Afternoon and Ev- eninq.

Yesterday afternoon and evening music lovers of Phoenix thronged to the Central Methodist church where Miss Fanny Peck's music class gave a piano recital.
 These annual recitals by Miss Pecks pupils are always looked forward to with pleasant anticipations which were more fully realized yesterday and last night than ever before. Notwithstand- ing it was Saturday night anl Easter eve the auditorium was filled JC it's ca pacity.
 Two programs of exceptional merit were given, attesting to another pleas ant and highly successful seasons work of this prominent Phoeniv teach CT and her class.
 All who participated were followed by the closest attention and given gen. erous and genuine applause.
 In detail the program included a wide range not only from the great conservative masters of composition but some as well from the modern TO- mantle school.
 The solo work especially displayed the high order of training received by these pupils, technique being cvidenc- ed by fine tone: true dynamics being evidenced by persuasive melody and real climaxes and by the many and varied radicalisms of touch.
 But beyond the technique of express sion displayed. which after all are only vehicles was the interpretation in it. self the soul and spirit of compost tiOn.
 A high order of interpretation was shown yesterday and after each recital many comments were heard upon the able interpretation and handling given these classics by even the younger pu- pills.

On the Harvey bill of fare, the brand is spelled out so who rides may read, and know that they came from the Salt river valley. Travellers often make inquiry as to the exact location of the valley where the fine cants. are grown. This section thereby gets considerable valuable ad- vertising.

He had with him a deed that was
made in the year 1857. 1t was written
long before Christopher Columbus was
born and a century and a half before
America was discovered.
The deed is made out on parchment,
and the writing is in old German text.
The letters are nearly perfect and the
making must have involved a great
amount of labor. The ink is somewhat
faded on parts of the manuscript, but
some of it is still quite black.
Mr.. Klein recently fell heir to the
estate described in the deed, and he

NO RENT FOR 1898 MONTHS.
Campaign of N%eapolltan Tenants Who
Are Leagued Against Landlords.

Naples.-The Naples householders
have formed a league with the object
of obtaining a reduction of rents and
they discovered that the best method
to force the landlords to accede to
their demands was to stop the pay
ment Of rents. The league numbers
about 1000 members, none Of whom
has paid rent for the last six months.
The landlords first attempted evic'
ton, but they failed, as the police de.
clared that they were unable to evict
1000 families who meant fight and
expressed their willingness to stand q
siege. Next the landlords brought
suit in the civil courts.
The case came on in due course OF
time, but lone of the householders
was present or represented. The land.
lords rejoiced at the prospect Of an
easy victory. Suddenly q woman
walked in.
She said she was one Of the 1000
members of the league and wanted to
defend her case. The judges have to
accord a reasonable period of time to
the defendant In order that he may
prepare his defense. This period is
generally a month. Accordingly, on
the woman's demand the ease was ad-
journed a month.
The month passed and the case
again came on for hearing. None of
the defendants was present. The
court then decided to hear the case
in their absence, but just then another
member Of the league came in, re-
peated the identical performance Of
the previous hearing and again the
case was put off another month.
For the next 1898 months a mem
Der of the Householdsrs' league will
repeat the trick and the case won't
be heard before that time. Mean
while the members of the league con.
tinue not paying their rents.
