ORION Saturdays Daily

Mrs. Ida Croxdale, a resident OF
West Prescott, who was seized with
an attack Of measles few days ago,
passed away yesterday morning, In
the city, following sudden attack
OF heart failure. Her death was
sudden and came rs an unexpected
shock to her many friends, and with
out any warning whatever.
Her physical condition was weak
ened through the measles which
seized her, and her general health
for some time had been shattered
from illness. The death Of the good
woman is one Of the most pathetic
that has taken place here in recent
years.
She IL the mother Of six little
children, and the charity Of friends
Is the only hope Of their future. She
had been q resident Of the city fol
several years, and in that time
through her affectionate motherhood
and industrious disposition, had wor
the admiration Of all. She will be
laid away this afternoon in the Citi

WOMAN
(From Saturdays Daily

Another check artist, who worked
the city out of a sum said to range
close to 900, has come and gone,
and his name is said to be one
William Dawson.
The artist adopted the method OF
Fleeing the merchant and saloon
man out Of the coin by attaching
the name Of II. p. Schwanbeck Of
Humboldt TO the checks he issued.
He started along Gurley street,
and then going down the west side
Of Cortez street, secured all he could
and reached the depot just as the
train was pulling out for Phoenix,
last Wednesday, night.
when the Prescott banks opened
the next morning the artist was
probably out Of reach. None Of
the checks reached sum greater
than s15, while the majority were
for 81, IS and -. He took goods
to n small amount and the change
that was given.
The artist arrived in Prescott, a
follower Of the carnival attraction
and his easy manners, together with
his effeminate appearance in facial
makeup, gave him attention out OF
the ordinary. This he also used Of
fectively, and before the last stun,

Work is under Roadway by the $.

n portion of the bridge that crosses
Granite Creek, and when completed
truss span Of l2i feet in length
will stretch from the west bank,
connecting with the pile and trustle

Is very important TO the railroad, and
especially affects the operating Of
the road during the heavy rains that
fall at regular intervals and threaten
the structure.
On the west bank This truss will
be founded on two immense con.
crete piers, and sinking for the
foundations is now under Roadway.
Considerable depth will be necessary
before the bedrock is reached, while

obstacle.
A Golfer dam Is constructed and by
this avenue the work proceeds. Two
hundred and seventy.fve yards Of
concrete will be used, which will
give some idea Of the magnitude Of
the undertaking.
The Pratt type of truss will be
placed at this point, and will be Of
steel entirely. In addition TO its
stability, the architectural features
will be imposing and attractive,
reaching twenty-three feet in heighth,
with sixteen feet between trusses.
This structure in its overhead work
will carry similar resemblance to
the famous bridge across the Colo.

The steel Is expected to arrive in
the next ten days or two weeks,
