Witches Brooms Do Not Iniure Trees

WttCnCS DTOOfnS OO NOI iTSCo,
Among the objects which the 1eafiess
season of the year makes conspicuous
in our woods and hedgerows are GER
tain dark almost globular agglomera-
tons of small twigs on the boughs of
many different kinds of trees which at
first sight look like birds nests. They
are what are popularity known as
witches blooms or brooms. They are
usually the results of some bygone dis
turbance in the economy of shoot
producing bud which caused the bud
to break up into several instead of
continuing its onward growth as
single branch. The Irritating influence
which produced this result was proba
bly, applied at a very early period of
the bud formation, while its develop
ment was but little advanced Whether
due to insect or fungal irritation, these
brooms are not infective 10 the rest of
the tree and do not cause decay or in
jure the tree in any way beyond use

best brooms are caused by the at

occupancy and attack the spring buds

BURGLARY BY BALES
 WORSE THAN FRUITLESS
He Got Nothing, But Lost His Watch Which Became Clue.

-, Deputy Sheriff Adams left yesterday morning for the Buckeye country after young man by the name of Bales wanted for the burglary of Steeger's meat market Friday night. It was worse than a fruitless burglary The burglar got nothing. but lost his watch which was found the next morning by MT. Steeger just inside the rear door where an entrance had been effected by the simple process of forcing the door open by main strength.
 There was nothing to steal, for Mir Steeger had taken all of the money out of the cash register, a fact of which the burglar could assure him self by touching the mo sale key.
 The watch furnished a clue and Bales, who is a baker, was arrested on Saturday. His trial was set for today Friends stood good for his appearance at the appointed time. It was learned yesterday morning that Bales had left town and it was further learned that he had gone in the direction of the Buckeye country.

LAYER DETAILS OF Tilt FIRST ST. FIRE
There Were Several Narrow Escapes And Some Slight Injuries.

The report of yesterday mornings early fire was slightly in error in Sun days paper when it stated that no one was hurt. The Mexican who lived in the house destroyed, escaped only in his underclothes and one hand was badly burned. He was given shelter at the court house where conventional apparel was furnished him by the county. There came near being one or more casualties at the VieuX house adjoining, occupied by Mir. and Mrs. Merritt Connelley. The roof was on fire when Mrs. Connelley ran out and would have stepped on the fallen electric light wires in front had she not been warned in time by the men fighting the fire. She turned to run back and in her confusion was about to run around the house in the direc- ton leading into the fire. when Will liam Ferris. a policeman who was one of the men on the nozzle of a nearby hose, came to her assistance, seizing her and taking her around the house the other way. In his run, to help Mrs. Connelley he all but suffered electro cution. There were six live wires on the ground and he undertook to jump them. He cleared five of them safely. but one foot stepped on the last wire. Fortunately his velocity through him forward on his hands and by the time his hands touched the ground his foot was off the wire. His shoes Were dry and he only got a slight shock that tingled for a few minutes.
 Mir ConnelleV was nOt away from home as stated yesterday. but on the contrary was engaged in carrying out household effects, in which occupation he was burned in two or three places but not seriously. presumably by sparks. The presence of so many live wires in the vicinity interfered with, and made quite dangerous, the fight ing of the fire, or the approach of ob servers desiring to assist those whose lives and property were. menaced.

PIONEER PROSPtCTOR
 COMES 10 HIS END
The Death of GuilIermo Vargas Re- calls An Aancient TTseedy.

Guillermo Vargas an old resident of the valley died yesterday morning un- attended by a physician. An inquest was accordingly held by Coroner Johnstone at which it was established that death had resulted from natural causes. It was learned that the old man, who was seventy-five years of age, had been in i'll health for some time and that the night before he had been seized by violent cramping spells.
 Notwithstanding his Spanish name, Vargas was California Indian, the Mexicans who knew something of his antecedents say, a Digger Indian. He was prospector and a very skillful one before he came to this territory and he followed that occupation here as long as he was able to tramp about the hills. He leaves several relatives here, but he had had nothing to do with them for a long time.
 An incident is related by oldtimers here, of his early life which for a time brought him under the notice of the authorities, but the matter was finally allowed to drop. A great many years ago a half breed prospector used to visit Wickenburg frequently, always bringing gold from small but valu- able placer which he had discovered somewhere in the Buckhorn district.
