 The last case on the criminal calen, dar was that of Peter Knivokovich who was found guilty of adultery He was given IS months in the pen. itentiary.
 This was the celebrated runaway affair in which he figured as tLe principal with Mrs. Teola Ostoieh, a young and pretty Austrian. The plan was formed at Raton, New Mex leo, and the pair were arrested at Jerome about two weeks later by Chief of Police Hawkins of that city, being committed to the county jail by U. S. Commissioner Rutherford.
 Later, Ostoich, the wronged hu.- mand, arrived and was a witness in the case that led to the conviction of Knivokovich. At the preliminary examination in Jerome, Salvo Martin ovich, a friend of the man convict ed yesterday, was also under arrest for aiding the couple, but was later turned loose.
 He followed Ostoich to this city and openly threatened, it is sad, his life, and for which he was ar rested. He was placed in jail, and later will have an examination. l. is said he will be placed under a peace bond

FLORENCE, Dec. 15.-A bevy of experts, said to represent the Lake Superior and Arizona Copper Com pany, made a thorough examination of the old Silver Queen mine this week. This property is situated on the north extension of the Superior vein and also covers a transverse fault Assure that has been explored to vertical depth of 400 feet and from which has been extracted in the past a large amount of shipping ore that was exceedingly rich in both copper and silver. It was the first mine located in the famous old Silver King district, which yielded the white metal to the value of over $1S,OOO,OOO before its production was rendered unproftable by misman- agemenU.

voted much time to this work as did the other members.
 At the county farm furniture was secured for both the mems and the women's reading rooms. Among the articles purchased were three chairs, five rockers, three tables, six large cuspidors. And just by the way of furnishing something that would aid the aged men in passing away the long hours, two cribbage boards and two decks of playing cards were pur- chased. The arrival of all of these articles at the county farm was tbe occasion for a general rejoicing and the residents there bent with the weight of years appeared suddenly to have become much younger and decidedly livlier and much more cheer ful.
 But the good work did not end with the supplies that were sent out. The walls of the reading room looked dingy while the floors were none too attractive. Consequently it was decided by the committee 60 have the walls tinted, the floors oiled, the woodwork painted and the bookcases vanished. And all this work was done at a remarkable small cost, which proved conclusively that the members of the committee were keen business women. To say that they secured dollar for dollar would be putting it mildly, for they did even better than that, as it was realized that it was all for charity, and very reasonable prices were made or ali of the purchases.
 There were a number of minor ar ticles that were purchased also.
 Tn excellent results that were re- eeived from the wise expenditure of the charity fund have been a source of such genuine pleasure to the Mix ologists and the Typestickers that they are already planning for an- other game next year for charity. when they hope to raise a much larger fund.
Weekly journal-miner., 1909-12-22

That wonders can be accomplished in charity work with even a com paratively small sum of money has been strikingly demonstrated in the expenditure by a committee consist ing of Mrs. c. E. Yount, Mrs. H. T. Southworth and Mrs. J. W. Mines of the proceeds of the baseball game last fall between the Mixologists and the Typestiekers.
 With a sum that apprOximated $S5 the proceeds of a diamond cOncest that has gone down in Prescott base ball history as being productive of the most runs ever known on the local diamond-the heretofore rather dingy and quite cheerless reading rooms at the county farm have been renovated and frightened; some wear ing apparel and other supplies have been purchased for the unfortuna e aged men and women who are spsnd- ing their declining years at the county institution; deserving Mex jean widow with four little charges on her hands has been furnished with transportation to Los Angeles, where she is being cared for by relatives; and with a balance still remaining wearing apparel is to be purchased for a deserving family in this city.
 And the credit for the wise and economical investment of the fund is due to Mrs. Yount, Mrs. South worth and Mrs. Mines, who at the earnest solicitation of the parties who participated in the charity game, consented to act as a committee to spend the money where they thought that it would do most good. They were requested to use the fund, ac- cording to their best judgment, and a special cOmmitte representing the two teams that raised the fund, af- ter visiting the county farm were loud in their praise of the results attained by the committee in dis bursting the fund.

VALUABLE LIBRARY MAY BE GIVEN
 TERRITORY
Owner Willing to Donate Rare Collection To
 Arizona

According to a Phoenix report, it is the belief of Maurice Salzman, for merly editor of the Border Magazine, that, could sufficiently enthusiastic pressure be brought to bear, Dr. J. A. Munk of Los Angeles can be in- duced to donate his valuable Arizona library to this Territory, instead of presenting it to the Southewestern Museum, to which institution it has already been promised.
 The Munk Arizonan library is the most complete collection of literature bearing on Arizona to be found any where in the country. It contains books, magazine articles, papers and important historical data, all of which would be of inestimable value to the Territory, could Dr. Munk be per suaded to select Arizona as the re- eipient therefor Considered from the practical every day viewpoint, this library should, by rights, be the prop erty of the Territory Of Arizona.
 Salzman has recently written such people as Governor Sloan, former Governor J. H. Kibbey, Col. J. H. Me Clintock, Frank Cox, Chief Justice Ed ward Kent, Henry F. AshursU and Miss Sharlot Hall, Territorial histOr- ian, stating the facts in connection with Dr. Munk's proposed donation of his famous library to the South western Museum, and urging upon them the necessity to see to it that the major portion of the doctor s mail is composed of requests and pray CTS if need be, that he reconsider his plans in connection with the donation of his works, and when the time comes to box them up, for him to be sure they are "coming into their own.'
 The most important condition of the donation lies in the fact that the library must be housed in a strictly fre-proof building, which provision the Southwestern Museum is not in position to comply with.
 The following is an excerpt from Salzman's communications written to number of leading Arizonans:
 "I realize that "a promise is a promise' is a good work-a-day maxim and that a promise is 100 sacred and too much a part of mans con science to be lightly broken. But I believe that if the goodness of the object to be attained outweigh tl,e badness it takes to obtain it, one is justified in doing a little wrong to do a great good. In other words, I think the people of Arizona would be justified in attempting to induce Dr. Munk to break his promise given at a time, perhaps, when there was no other request so appealing made to him; and that he would be justified under the circumstances, in breaking his promise, I have no doubt.
 "I have spoken of the promise first because I wish, by suggesting that it be broken, to provide an al- formative for Arizona and for Dr. Munk should MT. Lumins refuse 10 allow him to retract his promise. I think that the doctor can honorably and that he can afford, if to stretch his conscience for the sake of placing his library where it rightly belongs.
 "I would suggest furthermore that the people, individually and in their organized capacities, flood Dr. Munk with missives enough to make him aware of their feelings in the mat ter and to assure him that he will have no cause to regret his change of beart -

PARTRIDGE DISTRICT.
East Sumner.

The special Easter services at the Con-
gregational church were largely attend
ed and very interesting. The pastor,
Rev. S. c. Eaton, is not only very live
ly interesting speaker, but quite must
clan and crayon artist and he brings
these gifts into his special religious
services with good results. On Easter
evening he presented two fine crayon
sketches on the blackboard, one illustrat-
ing the scene of "Christ's Crucifixion,"
the other of an EASTER morning" which
added intense interest to his able lecture.
The services opened with an overture by
the pastor with the violin, accompanied
by his nine year old daughter on the
organ. Mrs. Eaton and her eldest
daughter gave duet in good manner,
and the two young daughters of the pas
tor>sang and gave good expression to a
duet, with violin and bell accompani-
ment by the pastor. S. G. Head sang
an old-time Easter piece from memory,
and succeeded very we'll. Nearly every
seat in the vestry was filled with delight
ed auditors. The crayon sketches -four
in number) have been photographed by
Mr.. Harlow for souvenirs of Passion
Week. Hitherto, very little attention
has been paid to Easter, so the exercises
were something new to most people in
the vicinity.
c. Z. Tolman has placed two new
pianos in the place lately. Miss Oliver
of Canton comes down and gives ill.,
struction on the piano to the pupils.
Musical cadences are no longer confined
to the crows and bluejays and the sweet
strains of music are in the air, and find a
responsive chord in the musical heart.
We always, somehow, enjoyed music
and maple syrup better than the swish
of birch twigs around our legs. Vocal
chords produced by application of birch
and with wood, somehow never seemed
to harmonize with our esthetic taste and
always left a sting behind. Strange,
amt it, John? "Music is the only
sensual pleasure without vice." Music
may be written or unwritten. We al
ways prefer the written, as the music of
our early days, caused by transgression
of paternal laws, was mostly of the un-
written kind, although it affected us to
tears, the memory of which still fingers.
But seriously, every child that gives
evidence of a passion for music should
be encouraged to develop the same. 1t
is far better than base or football, or
even than the conjugation of Latin
verbs.

was prominent citizen for many years
In Mexico.
he built one of the earliest houses
erected at Mexico, in the basement OF
which he conducted q general store dur.
ing his entire business life. He was
largely engaged In farming also. BE
died in 1858, leaving quite large estate.
he was many times town officer, 9
leader in old time military affairs and
was prominent for many years as lead
er Of more than local fame in the Dem
ocratic party.
His old home is still in possession OF
his descendants, and In full view OF
which stands the beautiful fountain,
chanting through its sparkling waters
the story of usefulness and generosity.

At our recent town meeting the gift
was very gratefully received by the citi.
zens of the town with many remarks Of
