SOME ENEMY HATH DONE THIS

A carpenter, who says that his name is Parrot. was lodged in the county jail yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Jeff Adams on the complaint of W. A. Reynolds, a contractor. who is doing some work on the Rockwell ranch. He had hired Parrot. Yester- day morning Reynolds missed two new saws of the Keen Kutter brand. His search for them led him to the bed of Parrott and he found them hidden among the covering along with fold ing camera. Parrott manifested great surprise and laid the presence of the goods to the machinations of an en- emy. He offered as proof of his inno- cence that he had half a dozen Diss- ton saws at home. and argued that q man with such a supply of Disstons would hardly degrade himself by stealing Keen Kutters.
 GOOD RESULTS ALREADY- Good results from the recent land and irrigation exposition held in Chi cagO, are already noted here in Phoenix. c. T. Hirst says that last Monday he met one of the many men he saw in Chicago. prospective homeseekers. who had come here to look over the valley and who since then has told him he is more than pleased with it. He stopped on the way out to look over some of the ad- vertised New Mexico lands. hut came on here before investing. and is now glad that he did so. He says this valley did not tell half that might honestly have been told at the Chi cago show, and he has found condi- tions much better than he antici- pated. In proof of his conviction he has gone back east to get his fam fly and his brother and the latter's family. He says that in three or four weeks they will all be out here to make this their permanent home. MT. Hirst adds that he has a list of names of hundreds of people of | the same sort and he firmly be- lieves that many of them will he here within the next year. and will come to stay. Of the fifteen or

LANDED
WHERE INTENDED
Tragedies and Disasters Have
Followed Wronged Woman's
Maledictions.

spearfish s.. D., Special: The series
Of fatalities and misfortunes that fol-
lowed a woman's maledictions was re-.
called by the recent death of Thomas
e. Blair, formerly one OF the owners
of, the Holy Terror mine.
On July 4, 1894, William B.. Frank
lin, better known as Rocky Mountain
Frank" was sitting on q hillside near
the mining town OF Keystone. with q
little granddaughter, holding In his
hand a miners pick. While sitting
there and aimlessly plunging one point
OF h pick into the rock at his feet
lie broke OF a small piece Of rock, and.
discover that 1t was filled with almost
solid gold.
Thus was discovered the Holy Ter
ror, which for g. time bore the deserved
title OF being h richest little mine in
the world. Mr.. Franklin gave the mine
Its unusual lame. He made no secret
OF h fact that his wife was q holy
terror" and he named the mine after
her, her disposition at times suggest
ing to him that singular title.
This name having been decided upon,
the original Keystone mine. which eM-
braced the land where the rich find OF
gold was made. was relocated under
the name Of Holy Terror. Thomas G.
Blair owned a half interest, and Mr..
Franklin and three daughters Of a Mr..
Reid. together with Mrs. O'Keefe, Mrs.
L. G. Blair and Mrs. All" Shoemaker,
owned the other half.
In order to develop the mine, a part
OF the Franklin and blair interest was
sold to John j.. Fayal, and a little later
al" Amsbury bought in with them,
making the four. of whom Mr.. Blair
was the last to die.
BY litigation or other means, Mrs
Franklin lost her Interest in the prop
erty, and it was Immediately following
this that she Is said to nave uttered
maledictions upon the Holy Terror
mine n everyone connected with 1t
In any way.
The fate of the mine and the various
owners has been as tragic as Mrs
Franklin could have wished. Mr..
Franklin was the first to die, his death
occurring November Z, 1896.
After Mr.. Fayal tool hold of h min
Ing property it was put in active op-
| GRAFTON, and the town Of Keystone be-
came active and prosperous, and SO re-
manned for several years when a turn
came. On October 81, 1898, Mr.. Faya1
died In Deadwood from the effects OF
an operation for appendicitis.
From that time on the mine n all
connected with it found themselves
in constant trouble. On November %,
1898, Mrs. Franklin died.
Later the mine was sold to John S.
George and Charles Kipp for $4,000.
Al AmSDury moved TO the STATE OF
Washington, where he went broke
i When his wife had to take in wash
ing in order to keep the wolf from the
door, Amsbury shot and killed her and
then killed himself. Mrs. Blair was
killed In a runaway accident.
Accident after accident in the Holy
Terror resulted in the deaths Of several
miners and the Gripping for life OF
others, and the prolonged litigation
over the title, as well as the numerous
damage suits growing out of the acct
dents, practically bankrupted the min
ing company which succeeded to the
interests of the first wners.

Dog Wins Case Before Jury,
From the Boston Post.

from In0 Boston ESEI.
For the first time In the history OF
this state a dog took the witness stand
In the superior criminal court before
Judge De Courcy.
The dog, a handsome black collie,
named Major, not only appeared as the
: witness for the defendant in the
case, but was practically considered to
be the c~o-defendant with his master,
Charles Neszery, who was charged with
violating city ordinance in connec-
ton with keeping a dog which dis
turbed h tranquility OF the neigh
bors. The jury acquitted Neszery.
The state contended that Major came
under h law because h officer,
while investigating a fire, was bitten
by him.
Major and his master denied this
charge and the former, although a wit
ness for the defense. made q willing
witness for the government and went
through h court proceedings without
getting vexed at District Attorney Hill
or His Honor.
Major was asked by District At
torney Hill to take the witness stand
and show what Kind OF q character
he really had.
The dog absolutely refused to re-
spond to any questions put to him and
only wagged his shaggy tail when Mr..
Hill announced, in a good humored
manner to the court, that contempt
proceedings might be instituted If the
witness insisted on remaining silent.
Rather than have the co-defendant
become too laxative Judge De Courcy
excused him..
Neszery hen took the stand and said
that Sullivan was in reality a tres
passer in his home and said that the
officer entered the kitchen about 3 a.
m. on the morning of March Is. Major
and his mate, Flossie, were devouring
a piece of lamb.
The witness said that when Sullivan
entered he (Neszery) cried out: Look
out for the dog"

Modern Pied Piper Kills Nevada Mic

Martin Anglers in Van Norden Magazine.
Ranchmen of the fertile Humboldt

When they discovered that their vast

are said to have prayed that the an
cient Teutonic rat charmer might be
sent to deliver them out Of bondage,

Sam sent this Piper, but he played no
tunes, and coldly announced that once
he was ready to quit Nevada not a
rodent would be allowed to follow him.
Moreover, during the summer of 1907
the ranchmen witnessed the devasta-
ton Of their valuable hay crop, Piper

Coffee weight On Old Age.
When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit Of others.
A superintendent of public schools

my mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number Of years and complained Of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago I was making an
official visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants of the place. l noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over l bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so well pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
81 had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers condi-
ton, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to it's
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of US.
