From Falls.
Niagara Falls, Feb. 16. - Only a
tiny rivulet, not deep nor swift
enough to carry pulp log over the
brink, is flowing over the American
side of Niagara Falls. A strong
northeast wind, which has blown
slown since Friday has held back the
water and allowed the ice to gain a
fOothold.
A great wall of ice runs from the
head Of Goat island to the American
mainland, through which only tiny
streams are able to trickle.
This is only the third time that
this combination of wind and ice has
thus affected the falls since the
white man came here.

too. A family were out in row boat well away from the shore when two rattlesnakes were seen swimming to ward the boat. One of them was hit by an oar and disappeared, but the other reached the boat and was try. ing to get in before it was killed Centipede stories are not so common though there are good many. The only centipede l saw was more anx- ious to get away than l was and l missed killing it. It was all of six inches long. It is said a man in the O'Rourke camp was lying in the bunk house when he remarked: Boys, there is centipede on me; when he gets on my hair knock him off. The centipede crawled over his face and when he reached the eye simply made several trips around that organ be- fore inspecting his hair, but finally it did reach the hair and was knocked off. He was fortunate in not being bald headed.

Sturgis Tells Tucson ot Greater Globe
 Industry

The Tucson Citizen makes mention of the recent visit of Postmaster Ralph Sturgis to that city and reports an in, terview with him as follows: Postmaster Ralph Sturgis arrived in the city this morning from his home in Globe and is the guest of Postmaster J. Knox Corbett.
 "Mr Sturgis was formerly a resi- dent of this city and he was assistant postmaster under MT. Corbett for scy- eral years. He went to Globe to accept the position of court stenographer He advanced rapidly, however, on the DO. litical ladder and about year ago was made postmaster of Globe.
 We believe in Globe that our town will shortly be the largest copper pro ducing city in the southwest said MT. Sturgis. We have the Old Domin- ion mine as our main standby but we are developing other properties at a rapid rate and we are confident that we will be able to eclipse Bisbee in Il short time.
 '' Building is going ahead at live ly rate in Globe and it is my prediction that within short time we will rank first in size and population among the cities of Arizona. '

Summer Traveller in the North Country Tells in Graphic English How the
 Reservoir Looks Today

1 of the old cottonwoods are lost entire ly until one sails about four miles then the dead tops begin to appear here and there while on little farther they grow , green and after going about six miles the entire tops of the very large ones can he seen in all the lovely dark green of well watered tree One evening Dr. and Mrs. Smith accompanied us in the launch and we went to group oI tees where we tied the boat and enjoyed cake and lemonade. Rather an unusual pleasure in the southwest. Near by was an old house standing in the water up to the caves and an old fence floating which marked where little farm was.
 Next summer these same beautiful trees will be gone just as the others are and as we are shown where the water will go when the work is com pleted the mind can hardly form a pie ture of the dimensions of this lake.
 The quarries are most interesting to me and the beauty of the rock is be yond description except that viewed closely it is beautifully colored. One place along the roadside the rock is grained like wood in two shades of brown. One finds much that is in- teresting from day to day which per haps is missed by those who make a nasty visit to the dam.
 The fish and snake stories of the camp will excel the stories of matching chickens, etc, told in the valley. A new chicken story is told here Most of the eggs used here come by stage from Mesa and when the driver stopped at Fish creek he thought he heard a peeping sound. When the eggs were finally delivered to Sam Wing at the restaurant a nice fuzzy chick came out to greet him.
 Mir. and Mrs. K. with their children went to Cottonwood canyon and wis ited break in the cement canal where the fish seemed to tumble out. The children caught them in their hands and brought some home to fry. For several days there were so many below the dam that the men caught them in buckets. One man caught all he could carry with his hat. We enjoyed some of these for our supper.
 When the flood came which filled the lake it was not only moving out of the people along with the "post master," but the snakes hurried out,

END IF STORM $ STRUGGLE FOR
 LIBERTY
HIGHEST COURT sUsTAINs SEN. FENCE OF FORMER YAvA-
 PAI TREASURER

The mandate of the United States circuit court of appeals, affirming the supreme court of this territory in the ease of J. F. Storm, former treasurer of Yavapai county, has just been received at the office of the clerk of the supreme court. The mandate came through Hon Robert Morrison, the chief attorney for the prosecution and had been forwarded by him 10 Clerk Trtle. The remittuI was at once sent down by Mir. Tritle and thus presumably the long truggle of storm for his liberty has been brought to an end.
 ', storm was tried four times for the embezzlement of the funds of the coun- ty, on separate indictments. Twice he was acquitted; once jury disagreed and finally conviction was obtained and he was sentenced to four years in the territorial prison.
 The judgment of the lower court was affirmed by the supreme court and then the matter was taken to the circuit court of appeals, the first time that had ever been done in a criminal case arising in this territory.
 It will be recalled that storm one morning was found locked in the vault of the treasury, bound with wire. The treasury had been footed. Almost from the first it was suspected that Storm had robbed himself. A subsequent ex-
 
 shortage to be something over $l3,000 than the amount that could have been in the vault at the time of the alleged robbery.
 Several indictments were found against him charging him, not with the embezzlement of the entire amount of the shortage, but of specified sums.

Newman Invests In Angel City
 Property

J. B. Newman invested heavily in Los Angeles real estate, during his stay in that city, acquiring piece of busi- ness property in what will, in a few years, probably be the big wholesale district of that city.
 The property, which is an unimproved lot 5 by l05 feet, is located on Los Angeles street between Sixth and Sev- enth, immediately to the rear of the big Huntington building, the depot for all interurban cars of the Pacific Flee tric company.
 Los Angeles street at that point is not built up to a great extent at the present time, but the wholesale district is rapidly moving souh toward Seventh street on Los Angeles and Newman feels that the property will soon become very valuable.
 The property is said to have sold for about $50,000.

ELks WERE SIMPLY
OUTClASSED YESTERDAY,


The base ball game at Amusement
Park yesterday afternoon was a farce.
The Roswell town team played the
Elks and the latter were simply out
classed. the score being fifteen or six
teen to nothing. The Elks had a like
ly bunch of players, some of them be
ing in the class of the vest town play
ers. But h vacancies We're filed
with good fellows, regardless of their
merits on the base ball field. The
worst hole in the game was the pitch
er's box. A detailed account of the
ARRAY would be embarrassing to the
public and Notifying to the boys on
the Elks team. At the same time il
would be no credit to the town team.
All are trying to forget it in their an
~ticipation OF the great game between
Roswell and Lake Arthur on Septem-
Der 6. labor Day.
A little side issue after yesterdays
game brought out more sport than the
base ball contest itself. There was a
difference of opinion as to whether
Captain Leland nae three players on
his team yesterday who could finish
ahead OF Captain Bedell in a fifty yard
dash. The opinions of h different
parties were backed up substantially
and the test was mad in front of the
Elk club at $40. iB-rueggeman, Stains
and Audrain We're picked to run a
gainst Bedell. Instead of all of them
beating the Elk, the latter finished full
by fifteen feet ahead of all OF them
