pehds operations this week. The mill has been running uninterrupt- edly for the past five years, cutting millions of feet of lumber each year. and employing several hun dred men. The shut down at this particular time throws out of em- ployment about 300 men, and as other mills all over the country have slack orders. these men will have hard time in finding em- ployment. It is to be hoped that Flagstaff's great industry, lumber ing, will be resumed in the near future.

Yuma Enterprise: Without bail Bob Stewart and Edward Fondren were bound over to await the ac- ton of the grand jury at Florence, at their hearing which terminated late yesterday afternoon Neither Stewart nor Fondren offered any evidence to show that they are in- nocent of the murder of A J.

 Graham Guardian: Word comes from Arapaipa canyon that on com plaint of Bud McClintock, J. l.. Wooten and Will Allbritton were arrested for cattle stealing, and taken to Mammoth for the prelim- mary hearing. Since that time it is reported that neither of the boys were held by the justice court; but during the trial it developed that Mir. McClintock had destroyed a cowhide, and he was fined $14.50 by the justice.
 Clifton Era: Early this morn ing Editor Kane of the Advocate was arrested and taken into custody on a charge of criminal libel, made by a Mir. Boggs about whom Mir. Kane made some rather personal remarks in his paper couple of weeks ago. He has made a practice of roasting everybody and everything for some time past, and this is the first time he been given a chance to prove his statements. He is making a hustle for bondsmen among his so- cialist friends, and no doubt will be released from jail.
 Republicans: For the first time in the history of the grapefruit in- dustry in the Salt river valley, a carload has been shipped out, be- ing sent by s. s.

 Benson Press: MT. l.. R. White, the Sweet Potato King of Arizona, says anybody who has land in the San Pedro valley at St. David, and wants to sell it, can do SO. The fact that Mr. White raised more sweet potatoes on his St. David farm last year than any other in this territory produced, that these potatoes were of such superior quality that they were awarded the first prize at the territorial lalr, may have something to do with the demand, which comes principally from other parts of Ar lzona, both east and west.

the housewife for its auxiliary and
friend. The flies have been tolerated,
even fed and nurtured, while the
spiders and their webs have been ruth

the spider population down, while the
flies increase and multiply by the
millions and ten Of millions, almost
unchecked. The spider is ugly and

Night Of Wild Riot.
From the early attack Of the mob
on the Lopez restaurant in the bust
ness district of the city Friday night.
there developed rapidly as the morn
ing wore on the most vicious race war
that Illinois has ever experienced.
The red torch OF anarchy was car
ried through the disreputable dis.
tricts and applied to the homes Of the
negroes, good and bad, without dis
elimination.
The night was made hideous with
the volleys of gun fire by reckless men
and the demohiacal screams and
shouts of drunken men athirst fol-
blood and destruction.
The sum total of the nights work
was the destruction Of the Lopez res
taurant, the complete ruin of rs or &c
small places of business on East
Washington street and the burning Of
so houses in the residence district
where the negroes had congregated.
