The officer made a statement in regard to Scctt's condition at the time of the arrest when he struck a few notes that the justice called swearing. Scott could have worked out his seven dollar fine if he had not been sure that his church story would pull him through. but after he was caught with the goods on him the fine was ex- tended to ten dollars.

TOWN DF HIGLEY IS
 N0URISH|NG A BOOM
THE DESERT IS BEING oVERRUN
 WITH HoMEsTEAOERs.
If the People Are Not Restrained They
 Will Soon Have a City.

The locating of land south and east association district and out of the range of any probable reclamation project has never been taken very seriously by a majority of the resi- dents of this section of the country until within the past two weeks. It has been known that for the past six months men have come here. looked over the land and then gone down to the land office and made their filings. There are a good many monuments scattered around over the desert. to the mistakes made by men in years gone by who have tried to pump water for irrigation purposes. When the newcomers began filing upon the land. naturally, there was a feeling that they would never commence improve ments. No one has ever questioned the soil in the vicinity of Queen Creek and Higley station, but water for irrigation purposes has always been the minus quantity, and the eX pressiOn Tt is valuable land if you can only get water" has been used so many times that it is becoming thread bare.
 It now appears that the water is to be there The homesteaders- have been given no encouragement from the reclamation officials, for they are of the opinion that water cannot be pumped 100 feet for irrigation pur- poses. But the land in question is be- ing settled by new blood. A good per cent of these men who are arriving daily with their families are from California, where they have been pumping water in some instances twice the depth that they will have to pump in the Queen Creek wash. They are coming with their families and their pianos and they have already begun the erection of homes The Queen Creek school, the latest addi- ton tOthe county's districts, will soon have a house The adobes are already on the ground and the work of laying them will soon commence. Not only will there be a school, but a store is to be erected some place in the set tlement. and then the going to town" task will be somewhat relieved for it will be possible to get some of the staples near at hand.
 Queen Creek wash has been settled for the past four or five years. but the water for irrigating was from

rainafll. Some years there were good crops and other years there were not. The homesteaders lived on their land when they were putting in their crops and again when they were harvesting them. A few of them lived there prac- tically all the time, but not the ma pority. Now these settlers have been given encouragement and the new ar rivals are being in turn encouraged by the crops grown last year by the older settlers.
 The history of the newer settlement probably dates back to the time that J. Beal took up a claim near Higley station He spent a few thousand dol lars building a house and barn and digging a well and putting in reser- voIr and planting an orchard. How ever. after a time he began to w:t1t company and he spent a good dtsl of his time talking up the advantages of his section until he got some of the newcomers interested. He made 1t a practice to take every prospective locator down home with him to sspend day or two. and incidentally show them the country. In this way he formed sort of an endless chain. and when he located A. l.. Richards it proved to be an extra strong link, for Mir Richards began an active cam paign, which has been mentioned be- fore in these columns. He located a claim for himself, and his two sons did likewise. Other men began coming from California, and still others from different parts of Arizona. In the meantime Beal continued to promul- gate the cause. and there was hardly a Hull at the land office until the maps of township east 1 south shows very few quarter-sections vacant.
 The stage has now arrived when these men who have made entry must begin improvements.
 l.. H. Sorey and Richard Powell have arrived from Exter. Tulare coun- ty, California. with their household goods and personal effects. They have brought with them their families and are already upon the land and com mencing to improve. Mir. Sorey has brought with him stock of merchan- disc and will erect a store in the near future for the accommodation of his neighbors. With the Sorey- Richards car also was shipped the household goods of eight other families from Exter. who will arrive within the next two weeks. These people insist that they have come to stay and they are of the opinion that water can be pumped for irriagtion purposes and can be done very successfully. They brought with them drill rigs and will soon commence boring for water for domestic purposes.
 A. l.. Richards, who visited Missis- sippi this summer, has the promise of a score of families who will visit Mesa this winter for the purpose of locating. S B. Cunningham, who is one of the recent arrivals, came overland from Jerome, bringing his stock with him He shipped his household goods, which are now at the station. William Renck has arrived from Prescott, making the trip overland with his live stock also. He has gone out to his claim. Rev. A L. Hawley, who has been one of the most enthusiastic advocates of the pumping plan, received a new Rec au- tomobile yesterday and will use 1t in bringing his children to school at this place.

Wheeling w. Va, April 5.-The Giants had a
lively time to-day before they defeated Wheeling
by a score of to . For the first time since they
started eastward the New Workers had trouble in
hitting the ball safely, but that was due to
large extent to the wonderful fielding Of Cy Sey-
mour and Fred Snodgrass, two of the Giants, who
played with Wheeling. They worked as hard to
help Wheeling out as if they had been trying to
beat Pittsburg Chicago in pennant race.
In the second inning Seymour made marvellous
catch In centre field while the bases were fuIl
that ought to gain him favor in the eyes of Nc
Graw. The fact that the manager of the
New York allowed Seymour to appear in a
game in which the Giants participated would tndi-
cate that he Is softening toward the old centre
fielder, who is in disgrace for his behavior at the
training camp.
Al BridweIl was at bat for the play in question
He smashed a long liner into centre. which looked
as If 1t would hit the fence. Seymour went after
it and pulled the bali down after long run. Dew
lin had left first base and throw to that bag
completed one of the prettiest double plays OF the
spring. Jack Meyers, the Indian, followed with
two-base hit that gave the Giants two runs.
The game was full of excitement, as line hit

seven hits but O'Hara kept up his usual fast
record and got Of them. He hit the bail wheh
il counted too. Wiltse began pitching for New
York and was touched up for three hits He
retired in the fifth inning TO give CrandaH
chance and the latter was hit safely four times
That gave Wheeling many hits as New YORK
