Last Friday about the middle of
the forenoon j. F. Gill's barn in the
west part of town burned to the
ground with all the contents, about
500 bushels of corn, 20 tons of baled
hay, 10 tons of shredded fodder and
several tons of straw. Mr.. Gill and
his hands were in the field gathering
corn, so the horses and harness were
not in the barn. 1t is thought that a
lspark from Thomas Hurley's engine,
which had been there the day before
shredding fodder, blew in the hay loft
and set it on fire as the big door was
open and the wind in the south. The
barn was good one, 24x46 with ten
foot posts. Mr.. Gill estimates his
loss at about $1,000. with only 1857
insurance.

MESA
CALIFORNIA BOOSTER FOR THIS VALLEY
Has Become an Arizonian and Will
 Bring Others.

l.. N. Richards returned to Mesa yesterday rather tired from riding and hoarse from talking. for he has carried on a campaign for the past six months with Mesa as his principal theme. He came here from California, where water is pumped from depth of 200 and 25O feet for the purpose of irri- gating orange trees, and it was then that he became susceptible to the arguments that the land southeast of Mesa in the vicinity of Queen Creek and Higley where, water is reached at a depth of approximately 100 feet, could be pumped te the surface and used just as profitably as that in Cali fornia. It this frame of mind he filed on a homestead and induced. his rela- tives and friends to go and do like wise. Four or five months ago he left Mesa for a trip through the east. which included visit in Mississippi. his native state. According to MT. Richards, the farther he got from the valley the harder he talked and he be- lfeves that his campaign, which began when he left here mad lasted until his return. will have its results

 sIn the lower grades the conditions are rather crowded and there are not enough seats for the accommodation of all. In the afternoon the tealhers held quite a long session. discussing plans and prospects. The opening is quite encouragini, showing a gratify- ing increase over the opening attend ance last year of twenty-eight.

WANTS RATES EXTENDED

There is a general sentiment in this section of the country to make an at tempt to get the railroads to extend their fair week rates over period of twenty or thirty days instead of mak- ing them for the week only, or rather making the return limit twenty or thirty days from date of sale instead of eight or ten days. The reasons put forth by those who have suggested this change are that, there are many people all over the territory who desire to make the trip to the fair and also spend a week or two visiting and looking over the valley. If the return limit is extended it will give them a chance to see the fair as they would like and also give them an opportunity to look over the valley.

James Boyle, who, with her husband,
Is under arrest for the kidnapping OF
Willie Whitla, the eight-year-old Shar-
on LAD, who was ransomed for $4,000,
declared today that her husband was
not the instigator of the KIDNAPPING
and that the truth OF II has never becn
told She made this declaration In the
county JAIL where she arrived from
Pittsburg about noon after she had
attempted to escape from the train
Sheriff Addison Gumbert allowed her
to walk TO the end of the passenger
car to get drink of water. and she
dashed out OF the door. The sheriff
sprung after her and captured her
just In time.
After being placed in jail Mrs.

identified with the abduction OF Willie
Whitla. Sitting on the edge of Jail

had been involved in n crime through
her love for the man she married.

that he was the son Of a man known
to Mr.. Boyle and myself, that his fam
lily had an infectious disease and they
wanted the little boy kept out Of
danger. ! am not prepared to discuss
the extent to which my husband Is
implicated in this affair, but will say
to you as / hope for mercy In heaven
that Jimmy Boyle was not the instiga-
tor of this kidnapping and that the
truth about 1t has never been told.
Where made my mistake was
that when | found out how the land
