LAND ENTRYMEN
 SHOULD HAVE CARE

Arizonans who take up iands under the desert act should exercise great care in making their filings to avoid complications that will work hard ship upon them. Receiver Charles Arnold of the Phoenix land once call ing attention to this matter. On ac- count of rather a strange law that gov ems the handling of money forward ed to the land once, several who have made entry recently for desert land have discovered that they have gained no rights and have had their money tied up for from six months to year.
 Until Secretary of the Interior Bal finger designates what lands are open to entry in Arizona under the act of congress Of February 19. 1909, claim ants should refrain from sending their application to the land office with any money. Arnold said: First of all. the claimant should satisfy himself beyond doubt that the land is desert in character, and has not been pre- viously entered and not abandoned Most important of all, he should satis- fy himself that the land Is open to entry at which permits a claimant to take up as much as $40 acres under the desert land laws. He has the al ternative of taking up a homestead of 160 acres and 160 of desert land or 320 of either one. If he takes up 320 acres of either he still has . right to take up 32o acres of the other. Re ce.ver ArncId today received a letter from Fred Dennett. commissioner of the general land ofiice. informing him that until the land open to desert en- fry has been desienafed and ia shown bv the plat on file in the local land once. applications cannot be received or even held in allowance. An that can be done is to turn the money over to the government. and notify the sender that his effort counts for napeht.
 'Tf peopIe would investigate more closely" said Arnold. "they might save themselves a great deal oi trouble.

DEFAULTING AGENT
 TRIES ID END LIFE

PHOENIX, Ariz., May AR. E. Swartz, a former ticket agent for the S. F., P. and P. railroad, tried to kill himself rather than face a jury On a charge of embeZzlement. The attempted suicide took place about 4:30 o'clock in the office Of Judge Buck, on Wall street, where Swartz also has an office as secretary of q mining company. Judge Buck had just gone down stairs and Attorney O. C.. Sharp was sitting in an office adjoin- ing. He heard the shot, followed by a cry, and hurrying into the hallway he saw through the open door man lying on the floor. He did not enter, but running to the head of the stairs, he called Judge Buck.
 Among the first to reach the wound ed man was Deputy Sheriff Ben Dav- is, who asked him how it happened. He replied at first that the shot was accidental. but he soon afterward ad- mitted that he meant to die. He said: 'T guess I missed the mark. thought heard some one coming and shot too soon. When a man is liable to be sent over the road for crime he did not commit, this is the best way out of it.
 He said that he had been contem- plating suicide ever since his indict- ment for embezzlement, and to an other he said he had done it on ac- count of his mother.
 The shot from 32-caliber revolver entered the left breast and passed through the body about an inch above the heart. and it is thought that it will not prove fatal, unless there should arise septic complications, Swartz was removed to the Sisters hospital as soon as possible after the shooting. and last night he was rest. ing easily. Swartz manifested a great deal of nerve. He spoke in a strong voice. and as he lay on the floor he retained his color for ten minutes before he began to turn white with sickness and pain,
 His trial had been set for next Monday. but under the most favor able circumstances he will be unable to appear in court at that time. Swartz had for some time been tick. ct agent for the Santa Fe at the de not. A few weeks ago a shortage of $15S was discovered, and after check ing up, Swartz was held responsible. when he produced the money. offering an explanation which was not satis- factory to the company.

CARAVAN C0MPAHY
 NOW HAS I|TLES.

FL PAso. Tex, May Alt now looks as if the Carman Consolidated is about to cast off the many difficult ties that have enshrouded it for some time past. President w. J. Fewer was here recently and made final pay ments on the Casey stock. and saw the deeds of the Carman claims prop erly put on record in the name of the Carman Consolidated company.
 The Carman company is understood to have some rich claims. The devel- opment of the Las Chispas property has proven to very large extent that the Carman may expect good results underground. IL is the same vein as the Las Chispas. which crosses the Carman ground, and from which the Las Chispas company, on its own ground. has. 1t is stated. extracted many millions of dollars in profits. It is claimed that the company has paid sS,000.000 in dividends, and that in at least two of it's workings, at different levels, has worked clear to the Car man line.
 It is learned that the Carman com pany is preparing to begin very az gressive development campaign on its property. The shaft is down 3S5 feet and this corresponds nearly to the level of the upper workings in the Las Chispas, where high grade ore was first encountered. It is believed that within GO or 90 days after work is resumed that the property will begin siving a good account of itself on the Las Chispas vein.
 The Las Chispas company has awarded contract for the construc. tion of a tram to cost s1.000,000 to connect the property with the nearest railroad station, a distance of six miles. It has for years been custom. ary to ship the ore out on the backs of burros. The near proximity of the new railroad will be of great import ance both to the Las Chispas and the Carman. Ore that was not of suffi ciently high grade to send out or burros for long distances will come into the market with the comparative ! ly short haul. and the Las Chispas company. with its tramway, will be especially well equipped for handling ores that heretofore could not be ship ped at profit.

statements before Coroner Brady that

mony IN this court He declared
that he was not certain that Jackson

that he saw him stoop over and pick

Furthermore Bigford States that he
believed Jackson was sufficiently
near Curry and was in an attitude
that he could have inflicted a dan
gerous wound had he thrown the
corn knife. In other particulars
Bigford's testimony was very similat
to that offered by other railroaders.
David A. Cusic, another Eric

ed murder from the Erie hump
yards, introduced similar evidence

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol,
Glycerine, ETC., Used as
Simple Wash.

1t really seems strange that so many
people suffer year in and year out with
eczema, when it is now no longer a
secret that oil of wintergreen mixed
with thymol, glycerine, etc., makes a
wash that is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true, cam
not be cured in few days. but there is
absolutely no sufferer from eczema who
ever used this simple wash and did not
find Immediately that wonderfully sooth-
ing, calm, cool sensation that comes
when the itch is taken away. Instantly
upon applying few drops of the wash
the remedy takes effect, the itch is al
layed. There is no need of experiment
the patient knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound the
oil Of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine
ETC., in the right proportions ourselves
we are using a prescription which is
universally found the most effective.
1t is known as the D. D. D. Prescription,
or oil of Wintergreen Compound. It is
made by the D. d. D. Co., of Chicago, and
our long experience with the remedy
has given us great confidence in it's
merits. L. P. Van Werden, Leon, Iowa.
