CATTLE ARE DYING
 OF STRANGE MAJ lAOY

StOcEmCn o1 this locality whose cat tle range between hero and the Ora hams report that their cattle are rap. idly dying rom a maiady. the nature Of which no one seems to unders. and. |says the Safford Journal.
 That kind Of nourishmcnt on which the cattle thrived through previous
 winters Is plentiful It is not from
 starvation that they die. for the man.
 ner of their death coniradicts this
 sgppositiCn. There appears to be noth-
 ing tho matter with them, they are strong and lively: Int when the range riders attempt to drive them and they become heated they fall down perma- 'nently losing the use of their limbs. Cattlemen have brought feed and wa ter to them and thcy ate heartily but Iafter they once get down they never become able 10 rise. They first be- gan to die around tbe Cienga and the owners attempted tD move them. los ing many by their getting oyerhcated. but later they began to die every where through tho district.
 It is the common belief that the cattle cat some poisonous weed that has a paralyzing effect upon their limbs. The exact weed, as yet. has not been discovered.
 Cattlemen are feeling this loss even more keenly than they would a gc- we're drought Tacy are as helpless lin protecting themselves as they would De through 9 long dry spcei. lIt is a common and pitiirl sight fo see cattle laying in the brush. apparcntly strong and hearty yet unable Co get upon their feet

SOUTHLAND LACKS
 IN WATER SUPPLY

TUCSON. Feb. 2- (SpeciaL)-
 r. x. Wilcox of St David has gone to Courtland with his well drill 10 try to strike a flow of artesian water, says the Benson Press.
 There has never been any attempt to try to get artesian water in the locality and the operations of the sink ing of this well will be watched with interest.
 One of the principal drawbacks to the new camp of Courtland is the question of a water supply.
 The only available water supply at present is from the Rascom well. in the Gleason canyon. which belongs to the Calumet & Arizona company and who arc at the present time fur nishing water for all of the hoists as well as all of the water used for do- nestle purposes The well is pumped dry every four hours Co supply the present demand.
 There is some water in the mines at Courtland. but it is so heavily charged with copper that it cannot be used in the boilers for mining pur- poses to say nothing of being used for domestic use.
 An abundant supply Of water can be obtained in the vicinity of Sol- dier Holes. near the old Turquoise mill. where water is in few feet of the surface It is seven miles away and would require lift of about. f5o feet by the pumping plant.

CLOVIS ElPHCTEO TO
 WIN CURRY COUNTY

ALBUQUERQUE. \. M., Out of the confusion and contention surrounding the advocates and opponents of coun- ty digision in Roosevelt county it be gins to appear that Curry county will emerge. very closely along the lines originally proposed by the people of Clovis. who were first to agitate the division. Three days ago there were halt,a dozen dele ogafions here from as many sections of Roosevelt county. They came from Portales. from Elida. from Taiban. from Melrosa ana else wAere. and each delegation had a dis tinctiy different plan for dividing the county, only the people of Poriales. being firm il their opposition to di- vision of any kind Even this oppo- sition Is not as bitter as 1t originally appeared and ii even seems that there are men in PoTtales who were willing 10 have the county divided. provided they could locate the county seat of the new county where it would best suit them.
 But the arguments for the creation of one new county were strong, and the. sentiment in the legislature. grew rapidly 10 favor that county. It there fore appears that there is but one contention left, and that the ques- lion of the location of the county seat This it Is now proposed to settle by leaving t to the vote of the people of the new county. it being proposed to make Clovis the temporary county -eat until such time as the people de- eide by 9 vote waere they want the rcrmanent seat cf government To- cated.
 The new county. as proposed. will haye its southern border on an east, and west line across Roosevelt coun- tl. about seven miles north of Port .alcs- I'he northern boundary will be .along tho natural barrier formed by the sandbills Cf southern Quay conn tl, the Inter county having to yield two tiers Of townships for The pur- pose. Taere IS understood to be only moderate opposition 10 giving ID this territory on the part Of Quay county.
 The western boundary, it is expect ed, will Dc the present western bound ary CT Roosevelt county. It Is prob able That a portion oi the northern extension of Cbavos county will also come within the boundaries Of the new county

|sAYs COURIlAMD
 IS COMING CAMP

1 DOUGLAS. Feb. (Speeial) )--
 That Courtiand. Ariz.. promises to
 be one of the big mining camps of
 that territory is the opinion of Frank H. Dericks of EI Paso. who returned
 home recently. Mir. Derieks has spenf several days in and around Courtiand ! looking for a chance to invest and
 was SO impressed with the possibilities | of the camp that he will return within
 week and may invest there. MT. Dericks says that there arc over 1000 miners now in the camp and the majority of them are Americans, only being employed.
 The camp. in my opinion. promises to be one of the bes. of the territory,
 said Mr. Dericks to the Fl Paso Times. You can stand where the pOstofllec I is to be buiit--they have no postoi- flee now--iind can sec eight biz shaits at work These work three shifts
 of eight hours each. The town pre- senis lively appearance, and is typ 1 ical mining camp which has made good Water sells for sl per barrel and has to be hauled a long distance "Courtland is situated forty-four miles from Douglas and thirty miles | from Bisbec. 4 continuous string oi automobiles arc going and coming Into ! and out of the camp at all hours oi the night from 3isoce and Douglas.
 The trip from Douglas in automobile
 or hack costs s, Or s9 for the round trip, while from Biseco il costs s3.5e | one Way.
 The entire toWnsite where Court Hand is now situated is owned jointly l by the C. & A. and the Great Western mining companies The (. C A. owns one side of the main street and town and the Great Western the other. The
 Copper Queen company also is getting into the territory.
 No lots in the town have been or fered for sale. although the toEnsiie
 has been plotted. Al buildings that
 have been erected Lave been put up by the permission oi the owners oi | the land. with the agreement that
 they be remOse cd within thirty days II
 the companies so request. At present tunnels are being run underneath the buildings and it is probable they will | soon give place to mining shafts.
 TWO railroads. the s. P. and the Southwestern. arc building into the camp. The $. ?. is to build from ] Pcarce to Courtland. q distance oi nine niiles. and will later go into ! Douglas Friday morning taat com
 pany unloaded 300 mules and several grading outfits al Pcarce. preparatory
 to beginning work. This road has a
 comparatively level stretch Of country
 to build over excepting about two
 miles when the line hears Courtland.' ? | IL has been officially announced at
 Douglas that the s. r. will be into that
 place within three months.
 Continuing Mir. Dericis said: ! The Southwestern at present has q force of workmen at Courtland grad !, ing for their road and 1t is said they
 win also begin building out of Doug i las also within 9 few days. They fig
 urc to complete the line by June or ] the first Of July
 ! There are numerous smaller towns around CourtlGnd vdlich are develop ! ing into good camps. The town oi | Gleason, near that place, has one or two shafts, and Leadvillc is a promis- { ing camp. Courtiand ss well governed, ! the owners Of the town having police

SCARED NEGRO TRIES
 TO 0UTRUN SHERIFF

DOUGLAS. Feb e-(SpociaL)-
 The possibility. Of being arrested. even on n trivial charge. yesterday put the. fear of man in the heart oi Arthur Sheldon, Legro. who, upon seeing Deputy Sheriff Bob Hilburn approaching. left Sixth street resort in a hurry and ran towards the Mexi- can line where he VAS held up before he left the jurisdiction of the pursu- ing deputy.
 Sheldon was the better runner of the two and Hilb.irn was about dis fanced with no chance of landing the fleeing negro without aid. Hoping q gun shot would attract the attention of line riders the Gefuty shot into the air. and the strategy was successful, for Immigration Inspector in Charge z. T. Conncil and one or two others along the line apnrehendcd Sheldon before he passed over.
 Sheldon's offensc vas to. abuse a roman of the tenderloin. She had an officer called md Iiiiburn responded Then. when the officer heaved into sight. Sheldon ran. He was given a nominal fine by Justice Rice this morning

FINDS TWO FACED COIN.

DOUGLAS. Feb. 2.-t Special. i--
 To have been coined in 1883 and 1885 is the seeming paradox that aI- taches to a silver collar in the posses sion of City Marshal Eas,. The coin is heads" on bon sides and each head carries Q date. This dollar would prove q strange freak were il not for the fact that t has been sadly doctored The faces of two silver dollars had been cnt from coins and then welded together. As an instru- ment Of a sure thing game in Tipping coins ii would be quitc valuable
 The butehcrcd coin was found by a domestic in the employ of Mir and Mrs. East and Was turned o=cr to the city marshal.

The Country ihat will be opened up by this ruad is a most pro ducfiVe one and one Of the greatest agricultural sections in this part Of the country will be given an oppor- tunity to develop itself and become large factor even in the eastern markets before many more months have passed.

Threatening Letter is Sent
l.. v. UNCAPHER
Mr.. Uncapher Lays for the Writers
and Catches the Lads ana Make
Them 'Fess Up.

Leave $500 at the side of cer-
tain telephone pole on David street
on penalty of your life," is the sub
stance of letter received by Luth-
er Uncapher last Saturday. The
money was to have been made up of
hve dollar bills and was to be placed
at the specified place at 9 o'clock
Sunday evening.
Mr. Uncapher was somewhat puz.
aled upon receiving the letter. He
consulted some of his friends and
II was finally decided to lay for the
writer. They stationed themselves
near the telephone pole where the
money was supposed to be depos-
tied. They had not been there long
when a drove of small boys hurried
up to the pole and began searching
for the five hundred. The men
quickly pounced upon the lads and
later they made a confession.
Mr.. Uncapher refused to prefer
charges against the youths, consid-
ering them too young to know the
meaning of what they attempted. Mr..
Uncapher appeared at the mayors
office Tuesday and placed the letter
on exhibition. 1t was written In
crude hand but had the ear marks
of real for sure Black Hand.

THE pEER's HORNS.
They Present All the Phsnomsna sf
Animal and Vegetable Growth.

They present All the Phenomeno ct
Animal and Vegetable Growth.
why and how is the deer SO peculiar
ly unlike any other Of the bovine race,
the horn differing SO materially from
nil the horned cattle In its composition,
growth. maturity and decline? It pre-
sents all the phenomena of animal and
vegetable growth 1t sprouts from the
brain without any prolongatlon OF the
frontal bone. II rises aud breaks
through the sinews and takes root on
the bone, growing the same as vege-
table. 1t is nourished by and secretes
albumen upon the surface and disposes
Of the fibrin the same as an animal
1t is clothed with a skin and hairy
coat very different from those on the
rest OF the body. This covering and
hair possess a property unknown In
other animal bodies-that OF being O
styptic to stanch Its own blood when
wounded. 1t carries marks of the age
on the buck by putting out an extra
branch each year. which shows an ad-
ditional power each year to produce
them. And this power does not exist
IN the female. SO this difference Is
more distinctly marked than IN any
other class of animals. Again, the horn
possesses properties unknown In any
other animal matter. IL is entirely in
oG' "ous, capable OF resisting putrefac-
ton aud almost impervious to the ef-
fects Of the atmosphere.
And still water at 300 degrees +.
will dissolve these horns readily. even
though they are not soluble IN alcohol
and resist the action Of acids and aka
lis. 1t is the only vegeto animal sub
stance that we know OF that does not
perpetuate itself by procreation.
The male and the female are sus.
tanned by the same nutrition and ele-
ments. and only the male produces
horns. This phenomenon is quite as
much OF a curiosity as the absence Of
the horn IN the buck after shedding
Exchange.
