HELD ON A NEW CHARGE

At the preliminary hearing of Reuben Neill and Herb Wood at Flagstaff. Thursday, before Justice Of the Peace Harrington on motion of District Attorney X. N. Sleeves the charge of murder was dismiss ed. Immediately new charge wes made of assault with an attempt to commit bodily injury upon the person of J. A. Stevens. The pre- liminary trial was then conducted under the new charge and sufficient evidence was produced to bind the two men over to the grand jury. The bonds were fixed at $3,OOO each which were furnished.
 A. H. Lingo was the principal witness at the hearing. Lingo testified that sometime before the disappearance of E. P. Swartz, the murdered man, Reuben Neill- and Herb Wood had bound with rope J. A. Stevens, partner of Swartz' in detective agency. and threatened to throw him into the dam near Williams. It appears that Neill had been frequent visitor at the Lingo home during MT. Lingo's absence and Swartz and Stevens had taken the job to watch the movements of Mrs Lingo and Nein The two detectives secured evidence against Neill and were to go before the grand jury. last fall. to testify against Neill for Lingo. Lingo saved Stevens life on the night he was threatened and Stevens was made to leave the city. Soon after Swartz, whose body was found few weeks ago, disappeared.
 There were not enough evidence in hand to hold Neill and Wood under the original murder charge is the reason for its dismissal.

CLARK'S RAILROAD SURVEY

All kinds of railroad talk is up in the air regarding the proposed line from Jerome to William ms to be built by the Clark interests.
 Surveyors have been on the line for the past two weeks, making the necessary surveys for the grade, etc. From reliable sources it is learned that the surveyors were this week at work about five miles from Williams. One of the sur veyors was in the city Monday and all he would say was that he was with Senator Clark's surveying gang making a survey for rail- road line between Williams and Jerome.
 John s. Gordon, who was in the city Thursday from his ranch, sev- en miles south west of Williams to-, THE NEWS stated that the survey ors were in his vicinity last week and surveyed line between his house and fence through his home stead. Mir. Gordon talked with the surveyors and they told him that they were making a survey for the proposed Clark railroad. They were camped for two days close to MT. Gordon's house. From there, after breaking up the camp, they went towards Coleman's lake which is about a mile from Cor don's ranch. The outfit consisted of ten men and five teams of horses The wagons were heavily loaded with provisions for the men and horse feed. Since they left his place, MT. Gordon has not paid any attention to the men.
 Judging from all indications this city will in the near future have another railroad, which in import ance wlli boost the city's resources very materially.

Big Circus at New Iberia
Ringing Brothers to Exhibit There
on Friday Nov. S.

Ringing Brothers. Worlds Greatest
Show is to visit New Iberia Oh Friday
Nov. 9Th 1909. coming this season with
new Iaurels won at Madison Square Gar
den in New York because of the unpre-
cedenlal excellence of their perfOrman-
cps. 1t is in all respects the very best
circus that was ever organized, and the
two performances that will DE given in
New Iberia will be given xactly as they
nere presented in Manhattan. not the
slightest change having been made since
the season opened there.
There are no less than seven sensations
on the program, any one of which is
great enough 10 give a circus distinc
lion. There are the wonderful Schu-
mann horses waltz on their hind legs,
drink from glasses and roll each other
around in huge beer barrels; elephants
that use the telephone, c0nyerSing with
rach other over the wire from end of the
main tent to the other; The thrilling

performed by a young French girl; Rob-
lideilO, the Mexican wire wizard; the
wonderful LOrch family of acrobaIs and
100 other great acts that are new to
America.
This will be the only opportunity for
the people Of st. Martinville to see Ring
ling Brothers circus, and probably new
er again will such an array Of European
talent be seen under one management.
AS the expense Of giving such program
is almost beyond belief.
The parade will be given at 10 o'clock
in the morning and is All entirely new
spectacle. Some Of its features are Cam
els. Zebras, Peer, Elephants and Llamas
driven in teams like horses and harness
ed to ornate tabIeaux. The parade will
be three miles long. The menagerie.
too, is wonderful affair. greatly enlar-
ged and filled with strange specimens of
the animal world. At the head of the
menageris is Darwin, the missing link,
which lives in miniature house with
windows. electric light. hot water. heat. |
er. chairs and tables. Darwin eats with |
a knife and fork. drinks from bottle
and shaves himself.

The Farmers Wife.
INVESTIGATION HAS SHOWN THAT
HER CONDITION Is BETTERED
MATERIALLY.
Washington POst)

| NVUoHfHJtoH Oct
The condition of the farmers
wife is receiving the honor of a
national investigation, and find
what? Many say that the condi-
ton of the average woman living
in the country is infinitely better
than 1T was even five years ago,
and also that her condition de-
ponds largely on herself. Indeed,
on the farm, Ms everywhere else,
spirit and ambition count. and the
woman who wants to 90 ahead
stays ahead, and she who wants to
learn nothing new "stays pat" with
vengeance.
Between the agricultural COL
leges, the free government pampb-
let's, the free demonstration in
butter making. etc, from the same
source and the lectures to farmers
wives the latter have absolutely no
excuse for remaining ignorant of
the best and easiest ways of doing
farm work. And no woman need
be a drudge if she learn the pro-
per way to work.
The new style farmers wife,
say her eulOgists, is not afraid To
use her hands in lettering her sur
rOundings. She learns mechanics
and is sbie to rearrange her kitch-
ems. to make tables, shelves, and
other useful contrivauces as well
as any man.
The coming of tire automobile
has meant lot to the farm wo.
man, for an automobile is never
tired aud can cover ten miles as
easily as old Dobbin could one.
This gives her plenty of chances
to NEE. her friends. In fact, she
Is learning to operate the machine
herself, 80 she does not have to
wait for anybody.
Some of the country schools now
have carryalIs for the scholars,
and these relieve a great deul of
anxiety Oh the mothers part.
The travelling library il another
blessing. This calls around at
stalled intervals at the different
farmbouses and exchanges the la
test books aud magazines.
The telephone has meant a 10,
to the farmers wife, aud the rural
free postal delivery means even
more. 1t brings her the daily pa
per, telling her of the doings all
over the world, where before she
