STRICKEN ON STREET
 WITH APoPlEM
Aged Mining Man Dies a Few Hours
 Later in the Hospital.

While 4. C. Schmall. an aged mining man. was standing in front of the Anheuser saloon yesterday morning he was suddenly stricken with apop- leXy He fell to the sidewalk and died a few hours later at S;. Joseph's hos pital.
 Schmall who was about 6S years Of age has been in and out of Phoenix for many years. He was engaged in mining in n number of places. A few days ago he came to Phoenix and stopped at the Central hotel.
 Yesterday morning Schmail was talking to friends in front of the An heuser. He was standing close to the curb. Suddenly he seemed to slip and fell heavily in the gutter. his head striking the curb. He was rendered unconscious and it was at first thought that the fal had fractured his skull and produced concussion of the brain.
 Dr. R. w Craig was called and the man removed to the hospital, where he died at o'clock. His death certifi- cate shows the cause of death to be apoplexy
 Schmall has relatives in Santa Rosa Cal. Very little is known of the man beyond the bare facts that he was one of the large number of prospectors who came to Phoenix several times year and departed again for the min- eral regions.

COYOTES WILL FIGHT
 TO BITTER END
# They Lose to the Normal Team They Are Out of the Race For The Republican Cup, But
 Jones Says They Won't Loose.

One of the really big games in The Republican cup series for the valley interschoiastic championship will be played Washington's Birthday at Eastlake park between the Phoenix High school nine and the Tempe Nor nfal nine The winning Df the game means a great deal 10 both sides. If the Coyotes lose they are out Of the race for the big silver trophy; if the Normais loose-well they still have a good chance. but they really can't af- ford 1t with that little Mesa High school coming on at the fast gait they have assumed in the last two games
 While the Coyotes are at the bottom and the Jackrabbits at the top of the percentage column, this doesn't mean that the normal team will have an easy mark in the Phoenix High school nine. The Coyotes have been playing better ball every game they have play ed. They started off badly but have bettered their form as they went along and are now considered as formida ble as any nine in the league.
 Coach Carl D. Jones of the Coyotes said yesterday:
 We have got to win and we expect to win. 1 do not really think the Nor mals can beat us, and I am not quite sure that they think they can. There are some very game boys on our nine and they are going to make a fight to the finish. Don't have that blank space on The Republican cup for the

MEMBERSHIP RECORDS
 WATER USERS ASSN.
Duplicate Volumes Have Been Com
 pleted by the Secretary.

Secretary Van der Veer of the Salt River Valley Water Users association. has completed a transcript of his membership records in the association in it's administration of water service. The transcript fills two large volumes of detachable or loose leaf construc- tion. The records show the name of every member of the association to- gether with a description of all the land he has signed to the association. lows. Under the law the reclamation service can furnish reservoir water to no member for lands in excess of lG0 acres When the applicant for such water files his request. if he owns more than l60 acres of land he must designate the particular quarter sec ton he wants watered. In an instant his entry can be found and q record made of the land he designates. If he undertakes thereafter to use his water on other lands. the fact can be quickly seen: also any possible effort to buy water for an excess acreage would he quickly noted.
 The record is d simple and con venient one but it has taken many hours of labor on the part of the cler- ical force of the association to perfect it and is one of the many things of a routine nature that have to be done by the secretary in the course of q year. when to one outside the office everything seems to be quiet with nothing doing" Another is the daily checking of the county records by the secretary. for the purpose of seeing that all transfers of property are re- ported sto the association that the membership and its holdings may be kept in perfect order and up to date.

counted upon was inadequate, and nothing remained but to move
the house to a place where there was water,
Mrs. Arthur Rogers, formerly Miss Grace Conant. in company
with her brother, bought a reinquishment of a claim not far from
Herrick. S. d, and spent the required fourteen months OF residence
there. with her father, who also has holdings there. and her
brother for company, and not far away. Mrs. Rogers extracted from
residence sold her land and returned to Omaha and her friends
with a substantial little nest egg to deposit in the bank.
In spite Of all the experiences and the hardships incidental
to proving up on these homesteads, the women are. with scarcely
an exception, satisfied with their bargains. Many have become so
attached to the Independent life that they have established perma-
nent residence on their farms and others have gained independence
by the proceeds of their lands. Although this Is a subject OF which
all speak guardedly and not without embarrassment, with scarcely
an exception all these homesteaders have had not one, but many,
opportunities to marry.
You ought to read some of the letters we women homesteaders
get said one of them. MANY of us had never suspected there were
Sc many Barkises in the world. and marvel that we had not been
discovered before. Some Of these letters are written in perfectly
good faith, however, but they are nothing IS compared with some
OF the verbal proposals Of marriage that have come to most of u.s.
1t is significant. however, while many of them have married
by far the greater number have preferred the independence that
their farms have brought them.
Miss Iowa Mullen of Saunders school, Miss Elizabeth Gibbs
and Miss Olga Mohr, also teachers in the city schools, are other
of absence from their schools. Miss Clara Ruth closed her art studio
in Omaha some time ago to take up her residence on a Nebraska
claim and Mrs. Frances Fineo and her mother have 64Oacre claims
in Cherry county, taken last year under the Kinkaid act. They have
a substantial cement house, and while the greater part of their land
is best suited to grazing purposes, enough of it can be cultivated to
make it valuable above the average in that vicinity.

cement foundations will be put in and windows and porches will
be screened and the interior made attractive for permanent resi-
dences, The farms are to be stocked to begin with with two horses,
a wagon and a buggy. Miss Williams has bought a horse and wagon
and Mrs. Coleman a horse and buggy. The horses will be worked
on both farms until the profits warrant more extensive equipment.
Mrs. Coleman has already been engaged to teach the district school
about two miles from her home.
Misses Sue and Molly King, formerly of Omaha, have recently
completed a hve years residence on two 64O-acre claims near Harri
son, Neb, in Sioux county. Their papers are all in and a few weeks
will give them the patents to their lands. The claims we're taken up
under the Kinkaid act and considerable more than the required
amount Of improvement has been done on each. Their land joins
and the houses are built just at the line, only a little way apart.
The sisters have become proficient horsewomen and each has a
saddle horse, long canters anording their principal recreation. Dur
ing their five years of homesteadng these two young women have
not devoted themselves entirely to the business Of ranching. At
least, one of the little houses has held treasures foreign to all that
surrounded and least to be looked for in a claim house on the
prairie. During her residence in Omaha Miss King enjoyed the
reputation Of being one of the cleverest modistes in the city, and
there was lamenthg among her patrons when she announced her
intention Of going onto a ranch. A few of these patrons refused to
be dropped and prevailed upon Miss King to continue making their
gowns. This she has done, making occasional brief trips to the city
for ideas and materials and doing the work out on her claim. This
practice has served not only to occupy the time, but has proven most
remunerative.

father. Mrs. French is now living on her land, having a leave of
absence from the Omaha schools. She is enthusiastic and has done
much for herself. Among her early experiences was the necessity
of moving her house. The site had been located and the building
put up when it was discovered that the water supply that had been

Miss Mabel Betebenner, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Betebenner,
formerly Of this city, is an enthusiastic homesteader and one of the
most successful Of the several Omaha women who have taken up
land. Miss Betebenners claim OF about 14O acres is about three
miles from Bridgeport, Neb, and was opened for settlement under
the Kinkaid act. II will require ave years Of continuous residence
half remains. Miss Betebenner has forty acres under cultivation,
her crops including corn, oats and alfalfa. 1t is her intention to
put the greater part of t in to alfalfa as soon a the water supply
is definitely determined. Present prospects are most favorable for
an abundant supply, Is the Tri-State irrigation ditch has been ex-
tended within six miles of her claim, and is being extended in a line
that will bring 1t directly past her property. These prospects are
so good that she has been offered $50 an acre for her land. Miss
Betebenner has a comfortable house and her parents are at present
living with her. Twice a week she makes a trip to town and through
the neghborhood giving music lessons, her class being sufficiently
large to afford a comfortable income independent Of the farm.
Mrs. G. R. Coleman and Miss Ruby Elizabeth Williams are
about to enter upon a forteen months residence near Hugo, Colo,
where they have bought reinquishments on claims Of 100 acres
each. Mrs. Coleman and children will leave March / but Miss
Williams does not go until June. Both of these claims are partially
improved, each having a house. 1t is the intention of their new
owners to move these houses as near together as the law will allow,
that they may AFFORD each other company and make possible many
of the other conveniences incidental to near neighbors. Miss Will
lam's claim already has twenty acres in winter wheat and both
women expect to have eighty acres put into wheat in the spring. 1t
is their intention to eventually put their entire property into alfalfa.
