NEGRO BADLY scARED-A

NEGRO BADLY SCARED-A fight
between a negro and a halfbreed, in
the Capitol saloon yesterday afternoon
might have ended in a roping cere-
mony had not the colored man wisely
beat an early retreat to the police sta
ton where it was suggested that he
seek the tall timber outside of the city
limits. Shortly after two o'clock, a
colored man and a halfbreed, who goes
by the name OF Chic" both under the
influence Of LIQUOR. became entangled
in a fistic encounter. which was short
and to the point, both receiving
knuckle cuts. A few cowboys were
present, and when the man of the
darker hue attempted to kick his ad-
versary while down, several of the COW
men cried, Get a rope" The negro
Immediately hiked for the police sta
ton before anything serious happened.
but for several moments, things looked
rather doubtful for the negro. The
protecting hand at the station suggest
ed that the safest plan for the negro
was TO get as far away as possible and
stay away.

ing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jack Elliott, 53s East Washington

came down from Prescott Saturday
night, knowing that there is no
place in the world so good as Phoe-
nix from which to set sail on mat

that there is nobody in Phoenix who
could give the boat a better shove
into the ocean of life than their
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott. Pro-
bate Judge Phillips performed the
ceremony with his usual grace and
dignity. The day was spent with
Phoenix friends, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Queleco left yesterday morning for
Prescott, which will be their home.

business in Prescott, and has been
for a long time, being well known in

and raised in Kansas City, which was
her home until three years ago, when
she went to Prescott.

A Thousand Years Aro

New York Press The Tibe.
an Hand Book of Medicine,
published 1000 years ago, has
been recently examined by the
Russian Academy of Medicine
and it is found to contain many
valuable truths that have been
discovered and rediscovered by
modern physicians. A few ex-
tracts from the ancient volume
are given: Number of bones in
the human body, $50; number
of nerves, SO; numter of pores
II, ,000,000. The heart is the
king of the organs and the
staff of life. The lungs en-
brace it not unlike a mother
would a child. Illness are due
to mans malice, ignorance and
inability to curb the passions,
for these things interfere with
the proper nourislment of the
human organs. All unkind
thoughts react upon the heart
and liver. Methods for ascer-
tanning the condition of a per-
sons health were much like
those that are used today
feeling of the pulse and look
ing at the tongue, taking the
temperature, etc. In those
days the law imposed fines up
on surgeons and physicians who
did not keep their instruments
clean. Vegetable medicines
were advocated, also the bath,
lcompresses, messages, etc.

Harlan Tribune: Statistics
from the county auditors office
show that bounty has been paid
for gopher scalps during the
fiscal year which closed June l
20 the number of 3045, making
a grand total of $4,000 scalps
paid for since the bounty law
vent into effect. Inquiry leads
20 the belief there are as many
as ever, while interest in the
trapping business has fallen off.
Some idea of the enormous
number of these animals in this
state may be conceived from
che number destr )yed in this
county with no appreciable dim
mutton in their number. In
yestigators have found that as
many as nine are born at a time.
How often this occurs during
he year is unknown. There are
GOOD farmers who declare the
work of these animals as sub
'oilers quite counterbalance the
lamage they do.
