terry and brought the guilty to justice.
"A st. Louis gang had their plant
In cleverly constructed cave in a
suburban district. 1t was an artificial
cave, dug back in the face of clay
and gravel bluff. The entrance was
through the shanty of poor Irish
family, a circumstance that diverted
suspicion from ii and one to which is
partly due the long immunity the
gang enjoyed.
There was no scrap of metal, no
coins, chemicals, or other thing used
in the art. Only the machine and a
few wrenches and similar tools. The
gang had skipped out. The Irishman
was half-witted, and his wife was too
clever to be caught in the traps we
laid for her. We had made a water
haul, except for the machine, which
was destroyed. The cave was filled
up Acting under orders from Wash

the entire matter and nothing of it

we have received additional assur-

of a cancer by the plaster process
the cancer returned, but it was

that nearly all cancers come from
bruises, there is no more dis

having a broken leg. But the
difficulty is increasing and people
afraid it is hereditary, notwith-

experts to contrary. The unvar-

suffering with this malady, some
patiently waiting for death to re-
leave them of their misery, and
others putting up a strong fight for
their lives.

A Cure for Cancer.

In the issue of the TIMES Of
April 22, we published an article
in regard to the cure of cancer
Extra copies of the paper were
called for then and have been
since, and SO many have request
ed its publication that portion OF
it is here produced. And in one
form or another we shall try to
keep it before our readers.
Put 2O7 drops of carbolic acid
in pint of glycerine. Put two
tablespoonfuls of this in tumbler
of water, and of this mixture take
one tablespoonful twice day.
Have the acid combined by a
druggist With the glycerine who
will get the correct amount. This
formula can be reduced to any
quantity desired-1O4 drops of
acid in half pint of glycerine--
So drops of acid in one-fourth pint
of glycerine, etc.
This is said to dissolve the
cancerous cells and effect a per-
feet and painless cure.
This reredy is vouched for
by those who have been cured
of cancer bv its use, and was
brought to us few days since by
a friend Of one who testifes to its
merits.
There are said to be those
now who are effecting the cure of
cancer without the use of knife or
plaster, and if this is one of the
remedies used it will be a FORUM
ate thing for those suffering from
cancers to know of.
Knowing the source from
which this formula came we heart
lily recommend that any one suf-
fering in the early stages of can
Ger should consult their physician
as to their physical condition and
if possible try this remedy.
We have no knowledge of
the fortunes of the damned, "

it should be worse than the tor

FACES PENITENTIARY
II. o. Eckre Prevented from Appeal ing to Charity of Phoenix People.

With his wife seriously i'll and the penitentiary staring him in the face, H. o. Eckre, the Singer sew ing machine and who recently left Flagstaff. must have realized fully that the way of the transgressor is hard" when Marshal Moore of Phoenix stopped him from circula- ting subscription list to raise funds to extricate himself from his seri ous predicament.
 Eckre has until October 4 to make good $400 which he took from his collections for the Singer Sew ing Machine company. Finding it impossible to raise that amount by labor in the required time Eckre started out with subscription list. assuring those to whose sympathy he appealed that if they would help him he would never rest until he had reimbursed them, no matter how hard he might have to toll in order to do so. In as manly way as possible he would acknowledge his sin, and explain that all he wanted was just half chance to make z )od. But this is a cold world for the man who has commit ted sin and his been found out. Eckre's wife being almost at deaths door and his little child al- so ill, did not in the opinion of Marshal Moore justify him in ap- pealing to others, even though he pledged himself to reimburse those who would assist him.
 ''l can we'll understand Eckre's desire to escape the penitentiary. ]" said Moore, but we cant have every embezzler appealing to the sympathy of the public for funds to square himself and thus get off scot free"

GA. PEARSON IN A GOOD WORK
EndeavOring to Find Means to Replen- is Depleted Stock Ranges of
 the Southwest.

|. Sevreal interesting experiments in grass seeding have just been car ried out by c. A. Person, in charge of the experiment station at Fort Valley. with view to improving the quality of the range on the na- tional forests of the southwest.
 The Coconino Forest offers an excellent field for these experi- ments. since small portions of the range have in the past been badly depleted by overgrazing. More over. the native grasses, as a rule, in this region start very late in the spring with the result that forage is scarce on large portions of the forest during the early part of the summer. It is possible, therefore, that the carrying capacity of the range may be greatly increased by introducing some cultivated forge plant, which will restock the de- nuded areas and also afford pastur- age earlier in the season than the native grasses.
 In this region is found consider able land which is half timbered and half open park, and on large areas the ground water is very close to the surface, keeping the surface soil moist even during dry months when there is no local drought. 1t is especially desirable to secure a4stand of grass or other forage crop on these moist areas. since they are unadapted to either farm ing or the growth of timber. The vegetation is usually spare, mainly on account of excessive trampling by cattle in the past.
 Six strips of approximately one acre each have accordingly been sown with number of grasses, which, it seems likely, may succeed on this land, such as orchard grass. brome grass. Kentucky blue grass, timothy, red top. and Italian rye. On each acre strip the seed was broadcasted and two thirds of the strip narrowed before sowing. One half of the narrowed acre was then gone over with af brush drag, in order to fix the seed in the ground. Thus each strip will furnish com. parative results on three different methods of sowing. The results of this experiment will undoubtedly be followed with great interest by stockmen in this locality.
