SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT.
Two Young People Meet Death in
Lake Dunmore Saturday.

Peter Erickson of Proctor and Miss
was visiting relatives in Proctor, were
drowned in Lake Dunmore late Saturday
afternoon. A party of "a young people
went from Proctor to Lake Dunmore
early in the day for a picnic and after
partaking of their lunches at Water
houses grove, Erickson and Miss Ander-
son, accompanied by the latter's cousin,
Miss Julia Anderson of Concord, N. H.,
and Wayne Sarcka aged 81, engaged a
rowboat and started out on the lake.
In another boat which kept them COM
pany, were Harry Erickson and En-
ma Olson. The surface of the lake was
smooth and the two boats kept on until
they reached an island, some distance
from the shore. There they landed and
walked about for some time.
Suddenly one of the boys noticed that
the wind was blowing more heavily and
the party decided to hurry back to the
starting place. 1t was believed that
they could reach the shore before the
situation became dangerous.
The boats were only short distance
from the island when the one which
Peter Erickson was rowing was caught
by big wave and overturned, its occu-
pants being plunged beneath the surface.
Sarcka and Julia Anderson came up near
the overturned boat and succeeded in
grasping it, but their companions arose
to the surface too far away. Erickson,
who was an expert swimmer, grasped
Selma Anderson and made a desperate
attempt to rescue the girl. She wound
her arms about his neck, however, and
they sank together after a prolonged
struggle
Harry Erickson, in the meantime. was
rowing hard in an attempt to reach the
scene. He arrived when julia and
Sarcka were almost ready to let 90 the
overturned boat from exhaustion. With
difficulty they were taken into Erick'
sons boat, and the latter rOwed to the
shore.
On reaching the shore the party went
/ Immediately to the cottage of DIR. Chan
Ter, where they were given medical at
tention and dry clothing.
The bodies sank in over 100 feet OF
water and were not recovered until three
o'clock Sunday afternoon. They were
taken to undertaking rooms at Proctor.
Erickson was the son of Mr. and Mrs.
| Eric Erickson of Proctor and he had re-

WIFE PLAYED POKER
 DIVORCE IS WANTED
Game Didn't Stop At Fifty Cent Limit, But Went To
 Separation,

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Tnls particu- lar poker game d'dn't stop with a 9U- cent limit: it went right on into the Divorce Court and now affords Mex Schein defensive argument in repIy to his wife's petition for alimony. Mrs. Colia Schein asserts that her husband neglected her awfully, staying out till | a. m. some times and occasionally going to the brutal extreme of remain- ing away from home all night.
 On the other hand Max ayers that his wife has been hitting up poker so much that it has finally taken a high CT place in her thoughts than did the supper table. It came. he says, to the Jack Sprat pass where Celia would keep on lingering her pretty stack ol blue and red chips when he modestly inquired if there was anything in the pantry, and, giving him a scornful smile would turn to the dealer and ask sweetly. ''Is it my ante?" Onr,. when he was asked to take a hama and declined. preferring instead tu paw around in the dank, dismal refr'g- orator for ham bone that he knew well enough wasn't there. his fndig- nant wife heaved a glass at him. he declares
 Wolf Faarer, who used to sit fnI1 the game along with Mrs. Schein. Jacks Mir. Schein up with an affidavIt wherein he states that he has seen Celia treat Max in an angry manner.
 The stakes in the alimony game which Mrs. Schein is playing just at rrcseDt amount to S25 per week and $500 counsel fees.

 ID BOSTON COMPANY

A stockholder in the Paymaster Consolidated Mines company, which owns the Paymaster mine, in the Oliver district. said last night that a telegram had been received by Alter ney Francis M.

 This property. in which several To- cal men are intere s5.sd. was crsinally owned by Luke and Nick Cordi, who sold it to the Boston company, and they in turn sold 1t to the Paymaster Consolidated conpany. the ore sent holders, who, by me foreclosure O: tIe Boston company. fear they will lose all their interests in lt
 The property is located in the Olive district. about twenty miles southwest of Tucson, and had shown ID well and was believed 10 be a pay ing prcposition. It was recently re- ported, however. that the company was behind in it's payments and the l nine would be closed. but this was | denied at the time.
 It now develops that the Boston l will assume charge and op- crate the property on its own ac- ,Ount.

Dusty Roads" and "Missis-

 Blow Decides Encounter.

Dusty Roads, a conspicuous char

 the cocktail. fioated into one of the refreshment emporiums at a late hour
 last night and became suddenly ob streperous. He sawed the atmosphere into shreds and declared that he
 would remove large steak from the bartender's neck, and appeared for a moment to own the whole shebang
 Mississippi Pete, who watched the whole proceedings, demurred to the magnificent front presented by Dusty and uncermoniously landed on his ''iuglar." Dusty went down, but not for the count, for he came up like a fighting buzz-saw and spat upon his hands.
 Round 1-Dusty Roads and Missis- sippi Pete looking fiercely at each other, watching for an opening. Dusty struck wildly and slipped, and some one ordered the drinks.
 Round 2-Both men came up smil- ing. but with awful determination. They clinched and fell, Mississippi Pete on top. Dusty Roads called fowl" but there were no birds in the house. They shook hands and NNN a NOAhoAltHs AuSta piled with hook to jaw and kicked viciously. They raked up the saw. dust about the circle and engaged in close encounter. Roads lands on the ''juglar' and Pete connects in the re- zion of the short ribs. Both are groggy and the cash register rings up just in time to save further punish ment.
 Round s-sffssissippd Pete becomes ranlbsmcious. He leads with short bunt to the pit of the stomach and ducks to escape a trip-hammer Dusty dances in his corner and makes his kangaroo leap. He connects with Missisippfs wind-pipe. but is fioored by the famous Australian kidney blow. He raised on all fours and receives a swift kick. He yells fowl again. but is handed ham sandwich. Both leave the place surrounded by their seconds and the hazzus of the multi tude pronounce the1m mill a draw

The sauadrons whtca are stationed at the various forts throughout the territory will join the First regiment at differ ent points, some at Benson, and others will go by the Santa Fe to tias coast, where the cavalry will be united and will leave San Francisco oi the 25th.
 It is their intention to go into camp st the new brigade post re centy built. twenty-five miles from Honolulu. in the center of the island This is the first post ever stationed ou the island. there being previously a few troops held in the city of Homo lulu It is the cEstom of the govern ment to allow each cavalry regiment 10 remain at home two years and the following term of two years they are transferred to a foreign country. AS this cavalry had already been sent to the Philippines, they did not wish to be sent there again and were pleased 10 learn of their transfer to the Ha- waiian islands

The Eighth cavalry. from YeL lowstone Park. takes the place of this cavalry at the Fort, but will mean a much smaller number of men station ed there for the reason that it consists of only two troops, whereas the former cavalry consisted of four troops.
