WHITE NINE WON

It was an exciting although friendly contest for local champion ship, last Sunday afternoon, when the pure white nine met the strong Mexican lineup and defe ated them by score of 9 to 6. Both hines being composed of home talent the local baseball fans took deep inter est in the result of the game, and regardless of the threatening rain they came to cheer their choice team on to victory.
 Henry Gonzales was in the box for the Mexicans, and at tilNes threw curves that were invicinbl 2 and kept the best stickers of the white nine guessing. J. Martinez did stunts behind the bat for Con- zales. Garcia was on short, Mon- tano played first base, and Levye on second. The Mexicans did good field work, but failed. with few ex- captions only, at bat.
 Geo. w. Barnard, who has made a record with the St. Vincents as a twirler, was on the rubber for the pure whites and although he was out of practice, this being his first attempt this season, he delivered the goods satisfactorily. He has a pretty curve, speedy delivery, and good control of the ball. Frank Downs was tried out behind the bat and he made good. Barclay slugged several pretty liners. Riggs held his own on third although he had to scrap it out. T. Maddock played like an old timer on second and so did Earl Vaughan in the left field. They are safe stickers Teddy Arce on short was always a Johnie-on the spot. Whenever hit was needed Purdy made it. The feature of the game, that fur nished amusement to the fans, was the ornament, Douglas, in the cen ter field.

PREHISTORIC FIND

Harry w. Maynard, Washington. in charge of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, returned Tuesday from a several days visit at the Grand Canyon. He reports a find of un- usual interest, and one that may prove of considerable value, made by one of the Ell Tovar hotel guides on the edge of the Grand Canyon some days ago. It consists skull and skeleton of a man, together with several pieces of pottery, and it was found buried at Grandview, fourteen miles from the Ell Tovar hotel. The two guides who claim joint ownership in the discovery, were at Grandview and saw few bones under an overhanging rock some thirty feet below the rim of the canyon. and after some digging unearthed the valuable find. The place is one where tourists often go, but apparently no one had ever been to just this spot.
 To THE NEWS reporter in an in- terview regarding the find Mir. Maynard said: "Through the courtesy of the finder, I was able to examine the skeleton at some length and it is my opinion that it is in deed of prehistoric origin, antedat- ing the Indians of the present day. The skull is in goo1 state of pre- servation, clean and white. There is remarkable frontal develop, ment, and the ear-holes are set low, so that the man must have had facial angle of close to ninety degrees. There is a peculiar bony ridge, not like a che K bone. run ming from each eye backward and downward"
 "The teeth are large," said Mr Maynard, 'and in good condition with an amount of wear which seems to indicate a man of middle age and robust life. On the other hand. the bones are tiny, and the cliff dweller, if such he was. could

JAP SLASHES A HOTEL COOK

A serious cutting affray is re- ported from Ash Fork last Tuesday night, in which a Japanese and John Mccarthy, second cook at the Escalante hotel, were the prin- cipal figures. The white man al- most bled to death before other white employees of the hotel could secure assistance and physician was secured. As far as is known, race prejudice seems to have been the principal cause of the trouble.
 The Jap who did the cutting left Ash Fork immediately after the affray. He boarded the southbound train Wednesday morning six miles out of Ash Fork, going as far as Jerome Junction, where he left for Jerome but before he left the train at Jerome was placed un- der arrest by Marshal Hawkins.
 Sheriff J. w. Smith of Prescott went after the Jap at Jerome and took his yellow prisoner to Ash Fork Thursday where he was ar- raigned before Justice of the Peace Kreamer on the charge of assault with intent to kill.
 The preliminary trial was post poned untilthe wounded man is able to appear as witness in the cou,t, which will probably be in about two weeks.

TANGLED BODY OF A MAN

T. Jeff Evans. who was in Will jams from Ash Fork Monday, told THE NEWS that the remains of a man. literally torn limb from limb and mangled beyond all resemblance of human form, were found by section men Sunday morning near Pineveta. {. a station ten miles west of Ash Fork. It is presumed that the un- fortunate man fell under freight train while stealing a ride. The discovery was made about 10 o'clock Sunday morning.
 His skull was crushed into a pulp, and one leg and one arm were severed from the body. The various rieces of the 5ody being scattered a ,ng the track for long distance. Coro uer Kramer of Ash Fork was notifie,j and an inquest was held at Pineveta after which the remains were inter. .-ed there. The verdict rendered W >s that the deceased anne to his dea tn accidentally. prob ably as the resu It of falling from a train on which he was stealing ride.
 From an envelope and postal card discovered in the pockets of the dead man, it is thou ght he was Thomas Ryan, a machinfst by occu' patton. One dollar and twenty cents in silver were also found Tn his pockets. No clue was obtained as to his home or the whereabouts of his relatives.
 The Prescott Courier of Thursday says that Ryan left Prescott Satur- day for Kingman, and that he was cook by occupation. No relatives survive him there.

hardly have stood over four feet

hardly have stood over four feet high"
 With the skeleton were found three pieces of pottery, in a good state of preservation. One is a small symmetrical bottle, about four or five inches high; the second is jug shaped, slightly larger, with a handle, spout, and a small pro tuberance on top. in the center; the third is an open bowl, eight inches in diameter, with an ornamental design inside, near the top.
 The guides intend sending the skeleton and pottery to the Smith sonian Institute, at Washington, for an opinion as to the value and genuineness of the discovery If it proves to have value, they will prob ably dispose of it to one of the great private museums of the coun- try, in connection with their work in ethnology and archaeology.
 If it can be proven that the pre- historic cliff dwellers did at one time live within the walls of the Grand Canyon, it would open up wide field for further research There are many places in the Can yon where large community of cliff-dwellers might have lived hid den from their foes, or safe from any invasion. Throughout the southwest there are, doubtless. places where there, are buried de- posits or ruins of the highest ethno- logic importance, which have either never been discovered, or have never been called to the attention of scientist with sufficient techni- cal knowledge to appreciate them.
