MAsQutRADER CLAIBORNE
 MAY BE PRESCOTT foRGER
Who Escaped From That Town in
 Widows Weed.

There is suspicion that Harry Clai- borne. the young man who was brought in from Maricopa on Sunday night where he had been caught masquerad- ing in feminine garments. is The indi- vidual who flooded Prescott with forged checks short time ago
 When the Prescott authorities learned yesterday of the arrest. a telephone message was sent to the sheriff's of flee here with general description of the forger. Suspicion was direct ed to Claiborne by reason of the fact that the man who had disseminated the spurious checks at Prescott had left that place in feminine garb.
 The description fitted Claiborne very well. but general descriptions are so misleading that photograph of Clai- borne was taken and will be sent to Prescott this morning. The check op- orator there cut wide swath. He dis posed of several checks to business and after he had worked that part of town he invaded Granite street and took a great deal of easy money from the deniZens of that thoroughfare.
 Claiborne still insists that he has committed no crime: that he is guilty of nothing but foolishness in indnlging in that masquerade, But he shows d wonderful familiarity with jail life and beside, 1t is the opinion of the officers that he would not have spent go much money for his elaborate rousseau un- less he had some strong reason for do- Oing so.
 After his arrival at the jail he in quired for former Sheriff w. w. Cook and when Mr. Cook called at the jail. Claiborne told him that two persons at San Bernardino had told him that he could get work on MT. Cooks cat tie range. He gave the names of the persons. but Mir. Cook could not readily recall them, though he had vague recollection of one Of the names.

SUMMER W|OOWERs
 NOT 50 NUMEROUS Phoenix Women Becoming More Reconciied to the Fate of Ma
 -tural Conditions.

Small proba biity seems to exist oi of the formation in Phoenix this l year of one of those time- honored or 1 ganizations known heretofore as "The | Merry Summer Widowers club" Ad- vices from the various points of outlet
 from this city are that, contrary to the custom usually prevalent at this time of the year. Phoenician mesdames are not bIockading traffic to any appreci- able extent in their efforts to hie themselves away from their home ties and the Salt river valley
 In other years a roll-call of the membership of the Merry Widowers would have furnished a pretty com plete census of the Benedicts of PhOe- nix and would have brought out formidable body of men. The way the straws are pointing this year it is about a foregone conclusion that this club. if it is organized at all. will not be large enough to constitute a cor porafs guard.

 It is true that il takes money tO as the cause of the determination of so many Phoenix ladies to stay at home. Some no doubt will go anyway, because it has been the fad in other years: others will go because they have long set their hearts upon being able to come back and pronounce Los An geles" properly to the discontinue of their less fortunate acquaintances. But the majority of those who have taken the trip in other years find themselves content this year to remain right here. having found out by actual experience that Phoenix is about as good d place as any to call their regular home.
 So if it appears that some time along in the summer it might be necessary to call out representative body of Phoenix citizens don't bank upon the Merry Widowers' club. The showing would be about as satisfactory as democratic parade in Vermont.

PENS AND PENCILS USED BY
 RAILROADS.

Although most of the writing in the conduct of railway is done on type writers. it still takes 100000 pen points a year to help keep the trains running on the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads. This is at the rate of sixtysix for every mile of the two roads.
 The employees of the two roads also require about 1S.00o penholders and 320.O0e pencils. in year. This means that for each mile of track thirty pen cils are needed In twelvemonth.-st Paul Dispatch.

ED EGAh GUILTY
 0F SIMPLE ASSAULT IN CONNECTION WITH GASkiN
 AFFAIR. A Related Plea of Self Defence Was
 UnavsiIing.


Ed Egan. one of the quartet who
 attacked Officer Harry Gaskin of the
 police force one night several weeks ago while in the discharge of his du- | ties. having in custody prisoner whom he had arrested in the redligh, district. went to. trial yesterday after noon on an indictment charging him with aggravated assault. He was con- victed of simple assault.
 The contention of Esan. which was not sustained by the circumstances was that he was acting in self de- fense and that he had not attacked the officer until the latter hau struck him with his gun. He said that on the morning following the affair he had large welt on his head The only corroborating evidence of the welt was furnished by Frank Riley. the prisoner for whose release the assault was made.
 But the plea of self defense was greatly weakened by the statements made by Egan when he was arreste d the day following the attack upon the officer. He said nothing about q welt on his head at that time and the of ficers who arrested him did not see it. Nor could Riley have seen it for on the night oi the affair he was in no condition to see anything and after the assault all the persons engaged in il ran away and separated. Riley and Eean had no opportunity after that to see each other until they were brought before the court for arraignment.
 Inasmuch as the other parties to the affair had elected on Saturday to plead guilty to simple assault. the dis trict attorneys office did not vigor- 0usly press for a conviction for ag- sravated assault in the case of Egan. Sentence will be passed upon the four defendants this morning.
 Afeer the disposition of the Egan case the matter of Alfonso Smith. col ored. charged with the burglary of Lucas barbershop was taken up and the evidence for the territory had been put in when court adjourned for the day.
 In the case of Henry Lawson. who had pleaded guilty to burglary in he second degree. sentence was sus- pended. .. iss'
 Frank Shindelbower. one of the anti-saioon witnesses. pleaded not guilty to an indictment foc reriu,y and his case was SC; for trial un Jay ,. The case of Elmer Sanders. charged with assisting in a jail cscal.. was reset for the same date.
 At the morning session of the court the old case of T. F.. Parish against the Cieneguita Copper company and George Beebe was tried and was con- tinued for a decision which Judge Kent announced would be rendered on June 4. The court intimatei that he would appoint receiver for the Cieneguita Copper company of Ari- zona unless the Nevada corporation should voluntarily come into the case as a defendant

How the Child Mas Savad.


One day a shepherd took his dog and
his beloved child Of three years out
into the fields with him. He had to
leave the child alone with the dog as
he assembled height to look after his
sheep. When he returned, having
been detained much longer than was
anticipated. he missed both boy and
dog and found the fog on the field so
dense that. search as he did. he could
find nothing. Next day he and his
neighbors made thorough search. but
all in vain. When the shepherd
reached his cottage In the evening he
found that the dog had been there and,
on receiving a piece of cake. had in
stantly gone of again.
For several successive days the man
continued his search unsuccessfully,
always finding on his return to the
empty home that the dog had been
there and had gone Off with a piece
of cake. Struck with this singular cir.
cumstance. he remained at home one
day. and when the dog came he gave
him his piece Of cake and followed to
see where he took 1t. The dog led the
way down rugged place to where
cataract flowed. Down this danger.
Gus incline the dog made his way until
he reached the bottom. The shepherd
followed with difficulty and when he
reached the base saw his own little
lost baby seated on stone enjoying
the cake brought by his faithful COM
panion. The dog stood by looking at
his charge enjoying his meal. and no
one would have suspected from his
bright look that he had gone without
food for days to give life to his little
master.

Delicious Pie Crust.

l often wonder why women with
plenty of milk and cream in their
pantries do not make more and better
uses of those valuable helps to almost
every part of any bill of fare.
Many people cannot eat pie because
the crust dis!resses them. Yet there is
a way by which, if the crust, the objec-
tionable part, be made, the result need
not be otherwise than very cream of
pie. And while it may be out of the
reach of city jewellers generally, there
are vast number of country and village
matrons who have always at hand the
article peculiar to its construction. This
is cream. A little salt, as much thick
cream as will be necessary as mixing
element to 60 with enough flour to make
the quantity wished, are all the materials
required.
The method from scientific stand
point is success. With its simplicity
the articles used, except the pinch of
salt, being only two-failure is impossi-
BILE. This, even to the expert, is COM
mendation, but to the young matron the
happiest relief. To get just the right
proportion of lard and water, and to so
mix and roll that the crust would he
neither tough nor soggy, short enough
yet not too short, and flaky and tender,

The Girl Who Succeeds.

She has so much to do she has no
time for morbid thoughts.
She never thinks for moment that
she is not attractive nor forgets to look
as charming as possible.
She is considerable of the happiness OF
others and it is reflected back to her as
a looking-glass.
She never permits herself to grow
old, for by cultivating all the graces of
heart, brain and body, age does not
come to her.
She awakens cheerfully in the morn
ing and closes her eyes thankfully at
night.
She believes that life has some serious
work to do and that the serious work
lies very close to the homely, every day
duties, and that kind words cost moth
ing.
She is always willing to give sugges-
tions that will help some less fortunate
one over the bad places in life's journey.
She is ever ready TO talk about book,
a picture or play, rather than to per
NIT herself 10 indulge in idle words about
another.
She is her own sweet, unaffected,
womanly self; therein lies the secret of
her popularity, of her success.

WASHINGTON AS A YOUTH.
Studious and Practical, He Became
Surveyor at Sixteen.


Surveyor at Sixteen.
George Washington was fond OF
mathematics, and, having mastered
arithmetic under Mr.. Williams, the
y s practical mind soon developed
In him a genius for it's practical use.
After he finished school he spent much
time at Mount Vernon and BelvOir. He
studied pcrsistently at home and prac-
ticed land surveying on Lord Thomas
Fairfaxs extensive acres not far from
Mount Vernon.
At the age Of sixteen George Wash
ington was appointed to the office OF
public surveyor, position well consid-
cred as both honorable and lucrative.
Young Washington was sent out to
survey some backwoods land, anG
while ut work there he boarded with
widow who had seven big. strong
sons. all fond Of athletic sports. Aft
err the days work was done these
young men gathered each evening on
the plot of ground before the door to
try their skill at running, jumping and
wrestling to see, as they termed it..
(which was the best man." In run
ming and jumping George Washington
always took the lead, but at wrestling
his companions boosted many years
later that they had often laid the
Father of His Country on his back.
The friendship that started in those
early days lasted all through their
lives, and five years after George
Washington gave commissions to all

join the army.
