EVANS HAD CLOSE CALL
 WHEN BARGE FOUNDERED
Went Down Under Scow With Four Horses When Acci dent Occurred at Roosevelt Lucky Kick From
 One of the Brutes Saved His Life

According to additional details of the accident at Roosevelt, Wednesday afternoon, which were received yester. day by Manager T. P. Bosch. of the Tonto River Copper companyg w. R Evans had a remarkable escape from drowning when the barge was beirg lowed across Roosevelt lake and turned turtle and sank.
 Evans was holding the four horses, which with a load of lumber and sup. plies. were being ferried across the dam. It is thought that the barge struck a snag. which knocked a large hole in her bottom. The scOw began to sink at once and in so doing, turned turtle.
 Evans and the four horses were car ried down under the barge. The horses could not escape, on account of the rail iugs around the sides of the barge. In its struggles, however, one of the ami mals kicked Evans out from under the barge.
 To this chance accident, Evans owes his life. He rose to the surface at once

Bond Made for All-Of Them by Owners of Property
 They Occupy
WILL BE HEARD
 THIS AFTERNOON
Council Considers Matter at Regular Session Last
 Evening

Nineteen women of the red light dis trict were arrested yesterday afternoon on vagrancy charges.
 The women all appeared before Judge Hinson Thomas, for the purpose of having their bail fixed. Bond was fixed at S25 each. $, P. Meyers and L.. r. Peters, owners of the property in tne present restricted district acted as bondsmen in each ease and the women were all released without being locked up in jail.
 The defendants were notified to be in court at 1 clock this afternoon, whnn the eases will be set for trial.
 Attorney George R. Hill, representing the defendants, stated to the Silver Belt that separate jury trials had been demanded and that the trials would Oc- cupy several days. It is probable that the trials will begin early next week.
 As bail was furnished for all of the women as fast as they could sign their names to the necessary documents, the arrests OccasiOned no confusion.
 At last night $ session of the city council, Attorneys George Hill and T. F. Flannigan brought the redlight mat ter before the city fathers.
 Attorney Hill, in stating the case to the council, brought out the feature that the prosecution of these cases must, under the ruling of Judge Lewis, be tried in the city police court. As this court is more or less under the jurisdiction of the council, MT. Hill held that the fines levied by this court would in measure depend upon the stand of the council in the question of the abolition of the restricted district, that they might be so high as to be prOhibitive if the council wished to abolish the district entirely, or they might be low, if the council desired the district to remain where it is.
 The matter was not put to vote. Several of the councilmen expressed themselves as in favor of leaving the a strict where it is, however, particular ~ as the present movement, in their idea, was started merely for spite work by woman who had been practically driven from the tenderloin by reason of the fact that she had made herself obnoxious. to the other women of the . district.
 The idea of the councilmen who ex- pressed themselves is to the effect that the women are now located in a spot where it does as little harm as would be effected if it were located in any other party of the city that complaints against the location of this district have come from only a few people and have been made for spite and that it would not add to the dignity of the council to be used as club to gratify the wish es of few people who have started the "reform" movement in order to at tain personal ends.

KILLING IF GROCE AND CANNON WAS
 COLD MURDER

CHARLESTON, w. Va, December Q. That the killing of the Americans, Cannon and Groee, by order of Zelaya, was nothing short of murder, is the statement of Alex Wilson, who returned home today after having spent more than a month in the army of the insur- gent leader Estrada.
 Wilson says he was in Panama when the insurrection broke, and that just before the killing of Cannon and Groce, he and forty-seven other Ameri- cans went to Eserada s army. They fought at the battle of Managua, he says, where twenty-six Americans were captured by Zelaya's forces. Wilson and few others escaped to Costa Riea. There, Wilson says, they obtained pas sage to New Orleans. Wilson says the understanding of the insurgent army was that Cannon and Groce were prom ised protection as prisoners of war, but were shot down in cold blood.

and was rescued by the crew of the gasoline launch which was towing the barge across the dam when the acei- dent occurred.
 From this report, it-is apparent that the accident was not caused by the horses. Evans had unhitched the ami. mals from the wagon and was hold ing them by their brides when the ac. cident occurred.
 Aside from quantity of lumber, the wagon carried 25O feet of air pipe, cable for a bridge which the Tcnto River Copper company is preparing to build across Tonto creek and other sup plies which it has taken weeks to ob, tain and which cannot be duplicated for some time.
 The team belonged to a teaming con tractor named Lamb, who lives in this city.

 The cattle men have sent out let ters to all cattle and horse owners inviting them to join the Northern Arizona Cattle Growers Associa- tion. In order to secure recogni- ton before the Forest Service as an organization, two thirds of the permittees must belong. Matters of great importance to stock men are continually coming up in which concerted action by this association will be of incalculable benefit and it is up to the cattle and horsemen to be represented. A solid organ. ization is what they need.

 Supply direct from the range country was limited. and but few range cattle are included in the 5000 cattle received here today. A few Colorado beef Steers reached S5.60 lately but quality is generally lacking. and most sales run from S4 co to SAYS. One string sold at A. 40 today, cows range from $2.75 to S4 25, heifers up to $4.75, bulls around $500, calves $4 GO to $750 today.

 More cattle have been bought here in December this year to go to the country either for feeding or roughing through than same month year ago by 30 per cent, and the strong demand for feshy feeders has contributed greatly toward holding up the fat cattle market all month.
 Sheep and lambs made a sensa- tional advance last week, statesmen adding 75 cents to $l.00 per cwt. to prices. the small run of l5, 900 head for the week allowing them to take this liberty with buyers.

Statesmen are cautioning feeders to send in sparingly and only good stuff for awhile, as there are adverse in- huences at work that may cause a break unless the present situation is carefully nursed. Total sheep and lamb receipts at Kansas City dur ing the year 1908 have exceeded the supply of any previous year at this market by a few thousand head, and show a good increase over last year, Total receipts for the year at this point ,630 .000 head, slaugh- ter in the plants here approximate ly l,100.000 head, balance going out to feed lots and pastures tribu- tary to this market.
