A Moody, Will Big Ter of Central, also Bishop Porter of Central, and Ralph Lucus of Pima and others have taken up farms there in the last two years, and the district is being transformed from mesquite wilderness to smiling fields. The land raises splen. did crops with little water, and the mountain streams seem to be supply ing sufficient.
 THATCHER, January ll.-A large house full of people were in attendance at the regular saeramental service Sun day afternoon. The stake presidency, Andrew Kimball, C. NJ. Layton and John Nash, were present for the pur. pose of making their official visit. Af- ter the choir had rendered several beau tiful hymns and the sacrament was ad- ministered, Bishop Peterson read the yearly ward charity and maintenance reports. The remaining time was then given into the hands of the stake pres ideney to use as they saw fit. President Kimball then took the pulpit, and high ly commended the excellent reports read, and congratulated the people On having a good financial bishopric. He said that he was thankful that through local option we had had the privilege of ridding our town of its one saloon, that through the efforts fthe presd- ing authority of the ward that every. thing of an evil nature had been ban. ished from our dances and parties; the people were being disciplined and con. trolled; the academy is growing and fourishing, and that conditions were growing towards the ideal. He said ''We want to be the town of clean and pure society, of beautiful and happy homes, and We want to be the educa- tional center. Bishop Peterson fol. lowed President Kimball, and said that there were still few among us who cared little for education, advancement, pure society or anything else of an ele, vating nature, and that they were agi- tating the movement of a. billiard hail and pool table. He read petition that had been written by some of the lead ing citizens asking the city council to forbid the placing of these things in Thatcher. He said, "You will all have chance to sign or refuse to do so. y A number of the leading citizens in the audience arose bu turns, and ex- pressed their views.
 R. c. Layton made motion to the effect that the petition be adopted as the mind and will of the people of Thatcher. It was finally put to vote, and about of about three hundred peo pie who were in attendance at the church, every one stood up in favor of it, save one, who gave his opposing vote. At tho close of the meeting, all went to the table to put their names to the petition.

 The growth of the Thatcher district schools is constant and rapid. Last year six teachers did the work and al the beginning of this year it was found necessary to add the seventh teacher and now the departments are all crowd ed to their utmost again. The Mexican children have not ben attending sehool very well, and the trustees made a can vass of the Mexican districts with | view of urging their attendance, but found so many more than they had ex peeted, that they could not be crowded l in, so they rented a house near the Mexican district, hired Mrs. s. F. Hey wood as teacher and opened up Mex iean school this week. Mrs. Haywood has had a good deal of experience witt Mexican children, also with others, and has proven herself a very competent and successful teacher Fifteen Mexi can children were in attendance tho first day, with a promise of more in the future. This is thought to be gooo move,and We believe it will prove ben. eft to both the white children and the Mexicans.
 A pleasant surprise party was giver Miss lone Layton, on Friday evening the occasion being her thirteenth birth day. The company gathered at Mrs Elizabeth Layton s home and went ip body to Ione's home and gave her { genuine surprise. X number of pleasant games were enjoyed for time, after which refreshments were served. Iont was much pleased at the honor shown her, and all were delighte dwith the sue. cess and pleasures of the evening.
 The theatre given by the Stafford Ora matte club in the Thatcher Amusement hall Friday evening was well attended and enjoyed. This was the first appear. ance of the new club, though number of them were players of experience and reputation. Though the play was some what light, the players gave promise of excellent results in the future. The play was given as a benefit for the new Academy building, and was followed by dance which closed at midnight. The Academy orchestra furnished the music for both the play and the dance free of charge.
 The Pollysophical association met at the Academy building on Friday even. ing, and after appointing Silas Larsen as chairman, was opened with seiec- tion from the Academy orchestra. James A.

The floods came, the lightning glistened, the thunder roared but through 1t all, drenched to the skin, rode Jennie, bent on saving human life. Bridges were swept away. but she swan her horse across the torrents. Darkness put her of the roads. but the lightning put her on again. When morning came she had not made fifteen miles, and both her horse and herself were we'll nigh exhausted. Still she pushed on. But few houses lined the way. Among what there were she tried to get and those who had were using them or dared not trust them to a strange girl in country where horses were so valuable Shortly before noon Jennie rode into Three Rivers.
 Frank Clough was standing in cart under a tree, while parson. summon cd for the occasion, was making long prayer. when he saw a girl on horse back dash In among the throng of gap CTS standing about him. There follow ed hurried talk between her and the sheriff, in the midst of which the girl tainted and fell from her horse. Clough could not hear what was said, but the sheriff wrangled with the crowd, which seemed to be divided on the subject under discussion. Present ly the sheriff. drawing his revolver, ap- preached the prisoner, took him by the arm and led him away, some of the crowd approving, others denouncing him for being in league with q horse thief.

Hav- ing fancy to see the portrayal of a people among whom he had spent much time, he went to the show. 1t was all too recently familiar to inter- est him, and he was about to leave when, with a flourish of trumpets. a ''cow girl' rode in on a black horse to perform equestrian feats. The moment Clough's eyes took in the figure in di- vided skirts, cowboy hat, revolver slung to her right side. pink silk handkerchief about her neck, her hair flowing. he saw the girl who had rid den fifty miles through storm to save his life.

The girl took off the handkerchief from about her neck, threw 1t on the tanbark, dashed past it on horseback and picked it up. This and other feats delighted the audience, but Frank Clough sat impatiently waiting the end of the performance. As soon as 1t came he was among the Wild Western CTS with a view to making the ac- quaintance of the "cow girl" He had hunted for her, or. rather. for tidings of her, but they had been unsuccess- full. Her father had died, and his family had drifted away from Pine Cone. But Clough for years had seen hat girlish figure dashing toward his improvised scaffold, and 1t had never grown dim. After he struck gold he renewed his search and had long ago made up his mind just what he would Ao in case he ever found her.

 A Cow Girl.

 ciation.l
 Frank Clough, young fellow of twenty. carrying stick over his shoul- der, to one end of which was slung his baggage in bandanna handker- chief. entered the town of Three Bridges. He had % cents in his pock- ct, but he had also that which was of far more value than a million such coins, the vigor and elasticity of youth. He was hunting for job, but If he didn't get one in Three Bridges he could go on to the next settlement.
 He needed all his strength and pluck to meet greater misfortune than the want of money. He passed two men standing in the street, one of whom stared at him with a terrible frown and as Clough passed on exclaimed:
 "Kid Cosgrove, by thunder"
 Twenty minutes later the sheriff put the muzzle of q revolver close under his nose said:
 'I want you, Cosgrove.'
 A few days later a man named Bod ley rode into Pine Cone, fifty miles from Three Bridges, and, entering the Muddy Creek hotel, heard some min CTS talking about the chase and cap- ture of Kid Cosgrove, horse thief and mNrderer. The desperado was then in irons in Pine Cone and was to be hanged at once.
 "Cosgrove yere, gents?" remarked Bodley incredulously "What're y givin' yerselfs? The Kid walked into Three Bridges last week and is to be hanged at 12 o'clock tomorrer."
 This led to an investigation which revealed the fact that the real Kid Cosgrove was in Pine Grove and the man in Three Bridges was some one else. It was considered unfortunate for the man in Three Bridges, for there was no mail or wire between the two places, and no one seemed dis posed to ride fifty miles that night to save him.
 Jennie Pixley, eighteen years old, the daughter of ranchman. fearless rider. became aware of the fact that a man was to be hanged in Three Riv- CTS the next day by mistake. When her father and mother and all in the ranch house were in bed Jennie stole
