SEMl,ANNUAL ROUNDUP
OF DESERT HERDS
OVER FIFTEEN HUNDRED FAT
STEERS WILL SOON BE
READY FOR SHIPMENT
Two Ladies Make the Trip in the
Capacity of Real Cowboys
and Lose Complexion.

/ The semi roundup of the
large herds of cattle ranging over the
desert to the east and south of Mesa
was finished yesterday when over
four thousand head were punched up
at the Snoque ranch on Queen Creek
in the vicinity of the Lewis wells.
The desert feed during the past six
months has been exceptionally good
and the cattle are in splendid condi-
ton. The grass, however, has COM
menced to dry up rapidly and the
feed is getting rather scarce.
One of the features of the round up
was in regard to the number of fat
steers that will be ready for the
market in short time as a result
of the splendid condition of the desert
feed. 1t is estimated that no less
than fifteen hundred steers will be
available for the markets within a
few weeks.
Those interested in the round up
were:
l.. r. Lewis, two wells; Robert
Bowen, one well; Kleinman Brothers,
one well; Thos, Buchanan, one we'll
John L. Anderson, one we'll; w APP
pelby one well; Otto Porter. one
well.
In order to better understand the
significance of the terms one well, it
might be well to explain that the
desert cattlemen must of necessity
pump water for their herds. The
desert furnishes some feed throughout
the year, but the waterholes soon
dry up after every rain and there
are no means of getting water other
than by pumping.
One of the diversions from the
regular roundup was the fact that
Mrs. L. r. Lewis and Mrs. Will An
derson went with the camp and were
practically in the saddle from Satur-
| day until Thursday. They OF course
suffered the loss of their complexion
but they. anticipate that this is a loss
that can be easily regained by one
visit to the drug store and are worry
ing little over that feature.

Eight full Pledged Elks returned
from Phoenix yesterday at various

they. had gone on Thursday evening
at the invitation of the Phoenix
lodge to come on in, the waters
fine and where it is surmised they
were initiated into the full mysteries
of the order of the 3. p o. E
There have been no serious compli-

tendaney among the more nervously
inclined to take fright when they
hear noise like a paddle.
Those from this place who went to
Phoenix seekers after knowledge and
came back Elks, are Attorney G. w.

train, but Vincent Jones has not been
heard from. However, il was given
out by those returning that in the
initiatory service he suffered a slight
reaction and has been placed under
the care of one of the very best
nurses in Phoenix. 1t is further un-

to choose his nurse.

From reports coming in from the

Burton it appears that the followers
of LeBlanch had faith in him greater
that was at first anticipated. An
Indian named Blackwater, one of
the leading members of the tribe and
his son departed with LeBlanch and
have not returned. 1t is not consid-

VICENTE GREGO's
BODY RECOVERED
Coroner's Inquest Held Yesterday
Been in Water Over a Week.

The body of Vicente Griego, the
Mexican sheep herder in the employ
of Clarence Morrow, who was drown
ed in the Salt river at point about
twenty-five miles from here, has been
recovered from where it had floated
up on a sand bar on this side of the
river. Wellington Rheims, who is in
charge of the gauging station at the
mouth of the Verde phoned to this
place yesterday and notified Justice
Irwin and Constable Burton.
Acting Coroner Irwin accompanied
by Constable Burton, Geo. Best and
Frank Dana, left for the scene of the
finding of the body, where an inquest
was neld.
Little is known of Griego or wheth-
er he has any relatives in this part
of the country. He has been in the
employ of Morrow for some time.
The body was buried near the place
where it was found.
Griego was with the flock of sheep
and with several herders crossed
from the south TO the north side Of
the river. The water was being held
in check by the dam at Roosevelt
and the river was very low. When
the herders started to recross the riv-
er to the camp which had not been
able to cross the river on account of
the sudden rise, they continued to
subsist the best they could. The
country is rather wild on the north
side of the river at this place and at
the end of the second day Griego
ventured to cross the stream saying
that he had to have something to eat.
He made little. Roadway in the stream
and when at point near the center
went down and was seen no more
until his body was found yesterday

FREDERICK AND v0LTAIRE.
Stormy Relations Of the Misery King
and the Lavish Author.

Stormy Relations Of the Misery King
and the Lavish Author.
The world knows plenty about the
elements of strength In the characters
Of great men, but less about their
weaknesses. Here is a story that
shows the other side of the natures of
Frederick the Great and Voltaire:
Frederick the Great had leaning
toward literature. He wrote poems,
plays and booklets that, In his opin-
ion, possessed rare merit. SO 1t
seemed fitting to him that great liter
airy men should fraternize, and he sent
an invitation to voltaire to be his
guest Accompanying the invitation
was a sum Of money to defray the
great Frenchman's travelling expenses
10 the Prussian capital.
Let 1t be explained at this point that
Frederick was extremely penurious
and that Voltaire was not only ex-
travagant, but had many Of the char
acteristics Of what we would now call
a CRATER. 1t should also be under
stood that Frederick despised graft
ing. and voltaire abhorred miserli-
ness.
Voltaire accepted the invitation-and
then had an afterthought. Why not
take q favorite niece with him2 So
he wrote to the king that II he would
send an extra thousand louis he would
bring the girl.
"Sir." replied the king. 81 did not
ask the young lady to do me the honor
Of visiting me. and I shall send moth
ing to pay her expenses"
''The old INSERT" said voltaire to a
friend. "He has tubs OF money In his
treasury, yet win not grant me this
wish"
However, voltaire went to Berlin, but
each found that he hated the other too
much to make their friendship perma-
nent.
The king once gave voltaire pack
age Of poems to revise.
''See," said yoltaire to a German no.
bleman. what quantity of dirty
linen Frederick has sent me to wash
The king thought his guest was too
free with the chocolate and sugar and
gave orders that he be put on re-
gtricted daily allowance.
voltalre retaliated by gathering all
the wax candles he could find In the
halls and storing them In his trunk
Soon the royal palace became too hot
for him. and he began to pack up.
Then Frederick missed his package OF
poems. At once he scented plot. Vol
taire intended to take the verses back
home with him and palm them or as
his own. Lord Macaulay has said that
the poems were so bad that he was
convinced voltaire would not for half
Of Frederick's kingdom have consent
ed to father them. But the king
thought differently, being the author
Of the poems.
So the Prussian monarch had Vol
taire thrown into jail at Frankfort and
kept him locked up for twelve days.
Sixteen hundred dollars that was
found In his pocket was taken away
from him. The king In the days Of
their friendship had given voltaire a
life pension of 5000 year. and the
money that was confiscated was a
semiannual installment.
Thus ended their friendship. Scrap
