MT. LaTourette, the leading range man of that section, and who was in the room with the cowboys, came forward and offered his assistance to the officer.
 After the arrest was made and the men made to appreciate the situation, an investigation was made of the horses brought in by Robbins. Five head were found in the herd, all of which answered to the marks and brands of the animals stolen.
 The return trip was then started to Fossil Creek. when the journey was resumed to Mayer with a team. Deputy Sheriff Thomas Thompson of Mayer accompanied Sheriff Francis and participated in the capture at the LaTourette ranch.
 Three more horses were found at Dewey, which had been sold by Rob bins, and which taIlies with the num- Der stolen.
 The capture of Robbins has reveal ed the existence of a big and des- perate band of horse thieves in that section of the country, and whose opCldLlOuS nave lHcluOtu the inert of many valuable animals.
 In addition it is believed that Robbins is a confederate of Charley Buck, who was arrested some weeks ago by Ed. Mulholland of Camp Verde, who made his escape later. Both Robbins and Buck are from Oklahoma. where they are said to be wanted for various crimes. Robbins informed Sheriff Francis immediate ly after his arrest that in case he was acquitted of the charge of horse stealing he would appreciate the favor of not being turned over to any Oklahoma officers, from which it is inferred that he is wanted in tEat state. Buck has not been seen since he made his escape and it is believed that he hts left the eoun- try.
 The breaking up of this desperate combination is considered one of the best pieces of official work that has been accomplished in Northern Ari- zona in many years, and Sheriff Francis is the center of admiration of those who have been at the mercy of the gang for many months.

 In the District Court, yesterday, the test ease of the validity of the local option election held over one year ago at Walker, when liquor was sold after the district voted "dry," came up before Judge Doe for final action in the case of the Territory vs. William Gronlund, defendant. Judge Doe handed down his deeis- ion, finding Gronlund guilty as charged, and sentencing him to pay a fine of $25 or serve a sentence in jail at the rate of $2 per day. Gronlund paid the fine.
 In rendering his decision in this celebrated ease, which validates the action of the Board of Supervisors in specific questions involved, Judge Doe said:
 'The defendant appeals from a judgment of conviction under the pro- visions of Section 13, Paragraph 3o7O, Revised Statutes of 1901, and under the stipulation of facts the only question presented for determ- ination is whether or no it was necessary to the validity of the To- cal option election in School District No. 21, that prior thereto the Board of Supervisors should have required the reregistration of the voters of said School District. Our local op- tion law appears to have been adopt ed from Texas, but its provisions have generally been construed in con- nection with election laws differing from ours. The Texas decisions af- ford but little aid in the construe- tion of the statute under considera- tion.
 "The order for the election seems to be jurisdictional. prerequisite, and if so reregistration is imprae- tieable, and if required the local op- tion law becomes imperative. Ob- viously a reasonable construction should be adopted which will effect nate the manifest legislative intent. So far as it affects the question un- der consideration, see no difference between the voter and qualified voter,' as used in the statute, and as the Supervisors are only author ized to order an election upon the presentation of a petition signed by

POPULAR YOUNG
 WOMAN LAID TO REST
GFrom Thursdays Daily. )

The funeral of Catherine Barbara Burton, yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, was attended by hundreds, and was marked by a wealth of flor al offerings seldom, if ever, equalled in the history of Prescott. The pro fuse floral tributes of love and sym .pathy came from her former friends, acquaintsnees, sehodlmates and from people of all walks in life, and now cover the mound in Mountain View cemetery where her remains were laid to rest.
 The funeral was held from the Catholic church, Rev. Father Kohl man conducting the obsequies The casket was carried by six young ladies dressed in white, former senoolmates of the popular girl, who was called to her reward SO sudden ly, Friday night, at g o'clock. The pallbearers were Blanche Mcdonald, Genevieve Houhhan, Agnes Nash, Mae Cahin, Mary Fitzgerald and Ethel Francis.
 Miss Burton sueeumbed to a heart complication. She was i'll the week before she died, but had partially recovered. She retired for the night, a snort time before being startled by a thunderelap. She called her mother and brother, expiring a few moments later in the latter's arms. She was deeply devoted to her par ents and younger brothers mad sis ters, and her last earthly expression of love went out to her sorrowing mother as her spirit departed from it's earthly abode into eternity.
 She was born and raised into bud ding womanbOod in this city. She was IF years old. That she was popular with all who knew her was attested yesterday by the hundreds who attended the. last sad rites.
 Her sisters, Mrs Frank Mcguire of San Francisco and Mrs. Nettie Greer of San Diego, who arrived Tuesday, to attend the funeral, will remain several days to comfort their parents to whom the sympathy of the community goes in tneir deep grief.

SMOOTH STRANGER LEAVES WITH COIN

 Carrying himself with the demear- Tor of an unsophistieated yOuth,- and making the play good with the garb . that indicated that he was fresh from the rural districts, E. s. Dalton, smooth cheek artist, has left for parts unknown, with at least s1O0S that he received for the asking
 Dalton worked the game success fully, on several, but fell down hard in one instance. That was when he appeared at the store of J. ". Will son, and in a clever manner pulled out of Bull Durham tobacco sack a cheek for $45-whieh he rendered for a s2O suit of clothes and other articles. He needed the clothes, judging from his appearance. While he was making the selection, the check was. sent to the bank it was supposed to be drawn on, and it came back marked "N. G."
 Dalton then left.
 His next stunt was at the Depot House, where he got thirsty after his rapid hike, and where he rendered a cheek for hguid refreshments. The paper was carefully examined, and as it contained the signature of Charles C. Miller of Skull Valley, the une- tuous youth had smooth sailing and some ready money in his pockets. He turned the trick at this house after the bank had closed, as he was tired of a repetition of the Wilson method of doing business.
 From the Depot House he visited other places, 1t is said, until he re- eeived over $1OO.
 The matter was placed in the hands of Sheriff Smith a short time after the discovery was made on Tuesday evening, but Dalton had skipped in the meantime. He has not left the country on the train, at least has not been seen at any of the stations near the city, in the garb he wore at the time of presenting the checks. If his physical bearing is any eriter- ion, he is about 23 years old, Of nngainly manners, with his hair in an unkempt condition, covered by a dirty d0ueb lat.

SHERIFF FRANCIS
 CAPTURES OUTLAWS
CFrom Wednesdays Daiiy)

CFrom Wednesdays Daify)
 '-" Sheriff John Francis of Coconino county has added additional laurels to his already famous career in run ming down and arresting outlaws, ar irving in Prescott yesterday with Guy Robbins, alias Blue Foreman, alleged head of a gang of the worst outlaws and horse thieves that ever infested the country. Robbins was captured Sunday night at the LaTourette ranch, on the east fork of the Verde river, after one of the longest and most sensational man hunts ever made in the country, in which three men were sought for horse stealing. Before Robbins was captured, Sher- if Francis took the individual trails of the three men suspected, who were George Casner, Bill Davis and the one who was brought here yesterday.
 The Navajo Indian reservation was the starting point, and after eight days in the field, Davis was run down in the Canyon Diablo country, being caught unawares of the pres enee of this officer, and taken to Flagstaff for safe keeping.
 Next day Sheriff Francis went down on the Mogollons, knowing that part of the country was the favOrite haunt of Casner, and the following day in the dense timber, made the second capture, again show ing rare sagacity in executing his purpose, and without reserting to any ether method than getting the "drop" on his victim. Casner sub mitted to arrest without the least resistance.
 After Davis and Casner had been landed securely in jail. the long search for the head of the gang was undertaken, the clue being indefinite and the offender unknown to any outside of the zone where he and his associates operated.
 From Flagstaff Sheriff Francis passed through Prescott to Phoenix, where he spent a few days in ae- quiring information of the adjacent COW camps and the men employed in them. He then returned to Prescott and passed the night in the city, leaving the next morning for Mayer. From that point he went by team to the main station of the Arizona Power company, on Fossil Creek. From there he proceeded on horseback for several miles through the widest and toughest country in the South west, reaching the COW ranch of Pete LaTourette, on the east fork of the Verde river, in the afternoon. When inc arrived at that place there were no signs of life on the outside, but hearing sounds within, he entered with his Winchester in hand, ready for any emergency. There were eight in the room, and throwing his eyes rapidly on one and then the other ne picked Robbins out and arrested him on the spot. There was no dem onstration against the sheriff, and neither was there any move to lib crate the prisoner. ..

The Cum berland interests are sad to be look ing favorable from late contract and other development.

LOCAL OTTOMAN
 IS DECLARED VALID

the majority of voters, upon the presentation of a petition for such purpose, a judicial rather than a ministerial duty devolves upon the Board. The only practical evidence consists of the existing Great Reg ister of the county. If the names of a sufficient number of signers ap- pear thereon, it may well be taken as prima faeie evidence that such sign CTS are qualified voters.
 ''I am of the opinion that a local option election is neither a general nor a special election, within the meaning of Paragraph 22s4 of the Revised Statutes of Arizona, 1901, as amended by Chapter 13, Laws of 19Os-Sheen vs. Hughes, 40 Pacific, 6I9-and that reregistration of the voters for local option elections, af- fecting less than an entire county, is not necessary to the validity of the election"
 other Decisions.
 n a special session of the District Court, held yesterday, Judge Doe handed down decisions in the fol- lowing cases, which were taken un- der advisement at the May term:
 In the case of Dennis Weleh vs. American Gold company, the demur- Ter was sustained. Objection was in- terposed by the mining company to the validity of the lien placed on the property by the plaintiff, for wages due, when an action was brought to foreclase the lien, filed by Welcn. The remaining issue now involved is whether the plaintiff shall recover a general judgment for any amount. The ease will proceed to trial on these grounds, the lien being dclared invalid.
 In the case of the B. Siegel com psny, a corporation, vs. the Bashford- Burmister company, judgment was ordered for plaintiff. About $12o is involved in this suit, the plaintiff shipping goods to that amount which were damaged in transit, and accept cd by the defendant.
 Court will convene tomorrow, when other decisions will be handed down and cases argued.
 Judge Doe will leave in a few days for Kingman, opening the reg ular fall term on October 26th.

SENSIBLE FARMERS

The farmers of Western Canada, in
convention assembled, have declared for
reciprocity with the United States.
They can see through a hole in a ladder
as we'll as the next one. They want
reciprocal free trade between the United
States and Canada GIN all agricultural,
horticultural and animal products,
spraying material, fertilizers, fuel, illumi-
mating and lubricating oils, cement, fish
and lumber and in agricultural imple-
ments, machinery, vehicles and parts
thereof. Furthermore, they are "willing
to face direct taxation in such form as
may be advisable to make up the
revenue loss under new tariff relations"
Farmers of the United States would
that ours were as wlse-or maybe they
are as wise now that they have the word
Of President Taft that no protective
tariff can affect the prices of food pro-
ducts in this country. 1t is as sensible
to have a tariff wall between the United
States and Canada as it would be to
have a tariff wall between North Dakota
and Minnesota, or between the Middle
West and the Eastern States. The ex-
change of tariff brickbats over the tariff
wall hurts both sides and profits neither.
In the meantime carrying on this COM
mercial warfare imposes a heavy burden
upon the consumers of both countries,
and there is no adequate benefit for the
producers to compensate for this
damage. The farmers of Canada want
reciprocity with the United States, and
here's hoping that recent political events
have pounded into the heads of the
powers that be enough common sense to
make it SURF that they will get it.

received by our farmers and stock grow.
ers for live stock shipped out of the
state.
The total assessed valuation of all pro-
perty in 1910 was s276,594 1890 which
means an actual value of more than a
billion and a half.
The total acreage contained in farms
throughout the state has shown a very
satisfactory increase during 1910, now
comprising 81 1885, 42 acres and rapidly
approaching one half of the land area
This immense acreage is divided among
64,442 different holders, giving to each
an average of 1888 acres.
North Dakota has always been noted
for the excellence of its public school
system and the year 1910 has shown no
falling off in this respect. For the year
ending June 30, 1910, there was expend-
cd the huge sum of S6,761, 1888. "a for
their support, and the number of schools
now open is $500; 1896 teachers are
employed in giving instruction to 156,O71
scholars. The total value of school
buildings is SS,283,49O.O3, and an endow-
ment of land conservatively estimated to
be worth s50,O0O,0OO insures adequate
support in the future.
1t will thus be seen from a perusal of
the foregoing brief summary of actual
conditions nov existing in North Da-
kota that the incidental happening of a
somewhat unfavorable crop season has
in no way called a halt Oh the steady
march of progress which the state has
so consistently maintained since the
first day of statehood.
