PROHIBITION WAVES
 ALONG LYNX CREEK
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Prohibition waves are beating against the banks of old Lynx Creek, and the "wets" are threatened with extermination at the hands of the "drys" if a petition now before the board of supervisors of this county is any criterion to go by. The anti liquor people in that old and his toric section want a local option cleo ton to be authorized, and the ques- tion put to a vote, whether the sa- loon will go or stay. The petitioners have designated the boundaries of the zone they wish to put the Gid v on, and in addition make an earnest plea for authority to hold the elee- tiOn, designating the limits of the field as follows:
 "Beginning at the head of Eugene Guleh, thence in a westerly direction to BigelOw Peak, thence following the divide between Lynx Creek and Groom Creek in a southerly direc- tion to the head of Lynx Creek; thence following the divide in an easterly direction to the Rockefeller mine; thence following the divide in a northerly direction between Lynx Creek and Big Bug creek to Eugene Cullen, the place of beginning"
 As mapped out by the call, this strip is about four miles long by five miles wide, and if the cork is put in the bottle. it will practically wipe out any liquor interest for a radius of two miles on either side of Wal ker, the principal mining camp in that district and the center of more mining activity than any point in that field. The matter is to be set tied today in the opinion of several, when the question comes up before the board of supervisors so far as the requirements of the law are to be considered.
 Supporting this request for official consideration at the hands of the board is a lengthy list of subscribers, and among them the following ap- pear:
 H. HolIingshead, C. G. Henderson, G. B. Moore, W. s. Conner, J. E. Swigert, D. L. Lee, A. w. Saxton. George W. Smith, A. E. Hurley, Rob- ert J. Henderson, J. J. Milliken, A. J. Mitchell, J. NJ.

FORMER PRESCOTT YOUNG
 WOMAN IS BRIDE.

Prescott people will be pleased to hear that Miss Mary Platt, formerly a resident of this city, the accom- plished daughter of MT. and Mrs. c. W. Platt, was recently married in Phoenix to Eugene R. Rice, a mining engineer. The ceremony was perform ed at the home of the brides par ents, by Rev. W. A. POsey of the Presbyterian church. The wedding was of a private nature, there being only a few personal friends besides the parents of the contracting par ties present. The couple received many handsome presents from both parents and friends.
 The happy pair were accompanied to the train by those present at the ceremony and many more joined just for good luck. Their names are Rice, and rice they got all the way and other things besides. They found the train on time, just as if it was wait ing for them, and amidst many wishes for their future welfare they depart ed. The newly-weds are too well known to need any introduction. MT. E. R. Rice is a mining engineer with a very promising future, and his bride before their marriage was the envy of many young men.

FALL DOWN STAIRS
 FATAL TO PIONEER
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Death yesterday called another old pioneer, Samuel Craig, suecumbing to injuries he received by falling down stairway in the Scopel hotel, frae- turing his skull. He was very weak owing to recent illness, and lost his footing while descending, striking his head at the foot of the stairway against a chimney at the bottom that projected through the building. He was taken to the county hospital and lived but a few hours, never regaining consciousness.
 MT. Craig belonged to the old school of stage drivers. In the early six ties he drove from Prescott to the Colorado river, and often was assigned to the most perilous routes in the Indian days. He was an intimate friend of Jim Stewart, the famous superintendent of stage lines in this territory, and with that friendship Craig was always given the choice of routes to travel and the best of pay for his service. He was regard ed as a most capable man, and his industrious and careful consideration of the duties won for him regard from all travellers between Prescott and California.
 He returned a few days ago from Southern California, where he had been for some months visiting friends and relatives. In speaking of the early days and in reverting to the scenes of so long ago, MT. Craig remarked that he was in a sphere that time had changed, and that his days of usefulness were over, the vocation of stage drive having come to an end, and he did not know what to follow to make a living.
 Te was a native of Virginia. He
 He was q native of Virginia. He Prescott in the early sixties after serving in the Confederate army in Virginia. His remains are at Ruff ner's parlors, and interment will be later. Funeral arrange ments will not be made until relatives are heard from.

PHOENIX CREDITORS ARE BECOMING
 ANXIOUS
Committee May Demand Tucson Broker Settle
 Immediately

Having waited what they consider plenty long enough to give Frank J. 0'Brien, defunet Tucson broker, time to satisfy his creditors that an effort is being made to square up claims, Phoenix creditors of the suspended broker have decided to send a com mittee to Tucson Saturday to wait on O'Brien and issue an ultimatum, says the Phoenix Democrat.
 From Trustee George Myers, who has been handling O'Brien's affairs since last Monday, the Phoenix credit ors received a statement today, in which he says that O'Brien owes near ly s12,000, and that he will shortly borrow $3,00O to make partial pay ment to creditors.
 That O'Brien owes less than $12,- 900 came as a shock to Phoenix creditors, who have claims of nearly $10,00O against the broker. It has disclosed the fact that when O'Brien suspended, Phoenix people were the ones who suffered.
 About four weeks have elapsed since O O'Brien, through his unwise speeu- lations and the use of money entrust- ed to him, was forced to the wall, closing his offices in Phoenix, Tucson and Nogales. In neither the Tucson nor Nogales offices does it appear that he did much business.
 Creditors hesitated at first before pushing O'Brien for the reason that he excited some sympathy by his ill- ness. However, when days and then weeks passed and he was able to be out, but did not give creditors any definite satisfaction, they began to grow restless.
 Affairs approached a crisis when Dr. W. G. Lentz, who has claims of about $2,OOO against O'Brien, went to Tue son ten days ago and served notice that he would not be put off any longer, but must be assured that some thing would be done.
 Lentz consented to delay matters when promised that Trustee Myers would go over the accounts at once and issue a statement, showing just what O'Brien owed and what he would do to make good the losses that have been sustained by clients of the Phoenix branch of the brokerage busi- ness.
 Phoenix creditors were promised that they could look for a statement last Saturday, and were then told they would have it Monday or Tuesday. It did not come until today, and has proven anything but satisfactory to those who have their money tied up.
 Some not only lost cash, but others are out stock they placed in the hands of O'Brien as security for the pur- chase of other stock of the same or some other kind. O'Brien is alleged to have used this stock to cover some of his personal speeulations.
 In all probability the creditors who go to Tucson Saturday will take steps to have the O'Brien firm placed in the hands of a receiver if they can not be convinced that under the pres ent handling of the firm s affairs they stand some chance of getting their money, or part of it, back.

RICH STRIKE MADE AT
 TOMBSTONE CONSOLIDATED
From Frtday,s pailyl

Colonel F. M. Murphy has returned to the city from Los Angeles, where he went to have a conference with E. B. Gage, W. F. Staunton and MT Robinson, who are directors in the Development Company of America owning the Tombstone, Imperial. Con gress and other mines as well as the Sasco smelter.
 Colonel Murphy stated that while he was in Los Angeles a telegram was received announcing that a rich ore strike had been made in the Tombstone Consolidated mine in which Prescott parties are interested.
 Following a visit to several differ ent points in the territory, Colonel Murphy will go to New York.
 "YOu can say that am going to Wall street." he said with a broad smile. Then he added: "It is really too bad that objections must be rais- ed when person goes east to get capital for the further development of Arizona resources
 He stated that there is nothing new at the present time in rate matters but that this proposition is being con sidered and analysed by both the Arizona Railroad commission and by the railroads with all parties showing every disposition to treat this mat ter fairly and without prejudice.

DAMAGE TO ROADS WILL
 AMOUNT TO LARGE SUM.
Erom Fridays Dailxo

NIAOih TAl0dI DdlkNg
 Wednesdays storms to the east and west of Prescott were entirely disas- trOus to county roads.
 Reports received yesterday showed that at many points east of the city to MeCabe and in the vicinity of Granite mountain to the west, noth- ing whatever of a thoroughfare re mains at places where small ravines or deep gulches were cut through Hundreds of dollars will be necessary to meet the expense of repairing them, and in several places so bad are the washed out places that it will. be necessary to select new ground and change the route.
 Receiving word that the Prescott and MeCabe road was badly damaged, Supervisors George P. Harrington, Barney Smith and w. G. Stewart yes terday went out and inspected the same, returning later in the day. They say it is in a very bad condition, and at several points in order to cross with their vehicle the officials had to use picks and shovels making a new route.
 Messrs. Harrington and Stewart did yoeman service with those implements while Supervisor Barney Smith exer- eised his muscles rolling huge boul- ders out of the roadway. The inspee- tion trip was a hard days task for the supervisors.
 They stated on their return that beginning at the crossing below Whip pie these serious conditions were shown clear to Jack Ass flat, on the other side of Lynx creek, a distance of over ten miles. It will be a waste of money to make any repairs at the points badly washed out, they say, and consequently new ground will probably be selected where flood waters will not reach the new grade.
 The board has instructed Frank Re gan, the road overseer of this district, to begin at once the work of repair ing the damaged highway. The road master will start the work today with a large force of men, and an effort will be made to have roads passable to traffic a few days hence
 Arriving yesterday from his mail run to Juniper in his auto wagon, George Conard stated that along the Williamson valley road small ravines had been cut as deep as five feet. He was compelled to travel along the hills in order to get around them. He says further that at no time in past years were the rains so heavy as have prevailed in the past few weeks. The best barometer of the rainfall is presented in the creation of the big lake at the American ranch.
 T. M Earnhart, the Kirkland mer- chant, says of his section that places to be cut off the zone of high water have been flooded over, and considerable damage has resulted to land and farming products.
