CORONER,S INQUEST.

The coroner's jury summO ned TO In
vsstigats the circumstances in coonec-
ton with The drowning Of George (. Meade
last Saturday night, held another session
last night st'Demsine & Sons under
taking establishment.
The evidence differed mat, rally from
the first accounts of the drowning. John
B,Issey, who, with Sylvester Qusyle, was
on the schooner ETA Hill which was
living in the dock near the scene oil the
accident, when questioned next day ssld
he saw Meade on the wharf and was
looking at him when he fell OVERHEARD.
Brissey said he was in the act ofentering
the cabin a. the time and that Qnsyle
was in the cabin OF the schooner
Btissey sverred t'at he picked up 40
oar and ran to Meade's rescue, but ne
said the latter never rose after he fell
into the dock.
The testimony of some Of the witness
ess before the jury Sunday night did not
agree with that OF others. B'issey had
said Qasyle was asleep in the cabin OF
the boat at the time, and that he alone,
had saw the drowning. Lientspsbt
Smith, however, slated that Quayle
notified him shortly after midnight that
Meade had fallen intO the river between
the wharf aud the Ella Hill and that
the body had probably been caught be-
meath the boat.
Quayle not being present Sunday
night, and bis evidence being regarded
as material, the jury was adjourned I'M
Ill last night.
Quayle was brought before the Jury
last night. He first testified that Meade
walked of the whsri as be WAS getting
out of the beat. he said there wSs an
oysler shell pile at the point where ne
fell. He further stated that Meade had
been In the cabin with linn alUne while
John Bfissey, in command OF the
schooner, was on the wharf splitting
wood. Witness said that he never saw
Meade fall overheard, but that Btissey
did. Brisssy, be said, informed him OF
the drowning. Quayle further said that
ne and NJ ade, shortly before midnight,
went into the cabin OF the schooner Ella
Hill, accompanied by two cOlored wOm-
en-. BE said they remained there about
ten minutes, when Meade departed. He
told NJ ade to be careful BJth women
we're 10 the cabin when Meade left. Al
ter being informed that Mta1e had
fallen overheard, witness said he pro-
cured pole and placed 1t In the water and
attempted to locate him.
The evidence being OF conflicting
nature, the Jury was again adjourned to
meet at 4:45 this evening when the two
women will be placed on the stand.

THE SINGLE HORSE WON.

One of the most remarkable feats in the way of a tug-of-war occurred on the outskirts of Mesa on Wednesday shortly before sundown. For some time there has been considerable con- tention between Thomas Parker who owns a large iron-gray horse weighing 1700 pounds and ". F. Smith who owns a team of horses which will average 1850 pounds a piece. as to the relative strength of Smiths two animals against the one owned by Parker. and happening to meet Wed nesday evening wager of 5000 was put up by each to settle the matter.
 Parker's horse was hitched to a single-tree, fastened to the iron hook on the front end of the wagon tongue, and the double-trees of the wagon were fastened to the rear axles, and to these Smiths span was hitched. At a given signal. the three animals be- gan pulling for dear life. For a few seconds the wagon remained motion less as if undecided which way to go finally giving away before the resist less tug of the Parker animal, the wagon with the Smith horses pulling in the opposite direction started, all going towards Tempe in which direc- ton the iron gray was headed Mir Parker pocketed the wager in high glee. and walked off proudly leading the victor.

YEARS OF KEEN SUFFERING
Rheumatism Developed Burning, Painful Sores on Legs-TOrtured Day and Night Tried All Kinds of Remedies to No Avail-Wife Had Debility and Pains in Back.
BOTH USED CUTlCURA
 AND ARE WELL AGAIN

"My husband had been great suf- ferer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen years. At first 1t was in his bones, but after Q while ic was in the flesh and finally running sores broke out on his legs. from below the knees to the ankles. There are no words to- tell all the dis comfort and great suffering he had to endure night and day. He used every kind of remedy and three physicians treated him, one after the other, with out any good results whatever. So one day I happened to read about Cuticura Remedies. l asked hlm If he would not try them. 'No, said he, its no use, I've spent enough money now.' TIe next day l ordered five dollars worth of Cuticura Soap, Cuti- cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. He began to use them without confi- dence but after three weeks all the sores were dried up. The burning fire stopped. and the pains became bearable. After three months he was cutie well. Two years later the pains and sores came back after he had been working hard and had taken cold. But as soon as he used Cuticura again if cured him. Two years ago l used Cuticura Pills for general debility. They did me a great deal of good and made me well. Three months since had pains in my back and Cuticura took them away, too. l can prove this testl- monial at any time. Mrs. V. V. Albert, Upper Frenchville, Me, July 2l, 1907"

MESA
INTENSIVE FARMING
Facts and Figures Showing What Has Been Accomplished on
 Small Area.

In the matter Of valley development and the influx of a greater population, the question of intensive farming has often been a subject of discussion, and the quantity of ground necessary for supporting an average sized family comfortably.
 In view of this the following facts obtained from Richard Van Meter, a farmer residing a short distance north west of Mesa are of interest.
 About the 18th of February last MT. Van Meter purchased of L. B. Johnson. four sacks of potatoes to be used as seed, these costing him the sum of $14.90. Within 70 days. or before the first of May, this crop was marketed. netting the producer $S0.0O. besides the culls which were utilized in other ways.
 From $15.00 worth of bermuda onion sets, MT. Van Meter harvested 80 sacks for the first marketing on which he realized $2.5O per sack, and in the later harvest of this vegetable, $1OO per sack was received. The total crop harvested by MT. Van Meter reached approximately 100 sacks. This amount 'N SNA'AAhAetS Heio piOuuttu III lNeUlH- seven rows. each of which averaged about 75 feet in length. Planted by the side of these onions were four rows planted in cabbage, from which MT. Van Meter has already disposed of S12.O0 worth, besides those consumed in his household. All of the foregoing crops. have been produced on plot of ground 150 feet square
 Since the harvesting of these early crops, this ground has been reculti- vated and it is now planted in sweet potatoes and sweet peppers. This is only one of the many instances that could be cited along this line of in tensive farming and proves conclu- siVely what can be accomplished when this method of farming becomes gen. eral.

Creek arrived Wednesday afternoon with 1s1 head of t."o and three year old steers. They were sold to Thos. Dennis. Guy Barkdol of Rye got in yesterday with '1C3 head which were sold to The Arizona Cattle Co.
 By curious coincidence. both herds were considerably diminished on the way down. The Pine creek bunch was corraled the first night out and during the night broke down one side of the enclosure and the largest part of the herd escaped. As many as could be located were hurriedly gathered to- gether again, but the size of the herd was lessened 50 odd head. The Bark dol party had trouble at Sugar Loaf. The cattle were being over night wEere there was no corral. Some thing caused them to stampede and forty head got away
