Something moved In bush little
way down the cleft. A crouching
figure appeared, dimly outlined in the
starlight. The figure crept stealthily
across into the denser night of the bao-
bah. The darkness closed about it like
shroud.
A binding flash of light pierced the
blackness. The figure halted and
crouched lower, though the flash had
gone again In fraction of second
A dull rumbling mingled with the
ceaseless boom of the surf.
A second flash lighted the cleft with
its dazzling corusoation. This time the
creeping figure did not halt.

Bisbee daily review., 1910-08-09

PHOENIX, Aug. S.-It is not often that a farmer loses any sleep won dering how he is going to take care of a crop that has so far exceeded his expectations that he is at loss to know how to harvest it and what to do with it after it is harvested. That. however, is the position in which Walter Wilbur finds himself. In addition to being a banker, Mir. Wilbur is an extensive land owner in the valley. This year instead of renting. he has been farming one ranch himself: that is to say. he has a man hired to do the work but the work is being done under his supervision.
 Somewhat in the nature of an ex- pertinent NIT. Wilbur planted forty seven acres of milo maize a few months ago. To be exact, about so days ago. While the indications are good that within a year or so this will be one of the leading summer crops in the valley. little at the present time is known of its culti- vation. MT. Wilbur experimented win several different methods in planting the crop with the result that a part of the patch was re- seeded. He finally hilled it in. much in the same manner that some people plant corn back in Kansas.
 Having no idea what to expect of the crop Mir Wilbur kept a close eye on it as it grew. Some of it was irrigated a couple of times and some of it only once. A great many farm CTS in this district have likewise been watching the results Of the expert ment The crop has now reached a point where a little idea of what it will be when ripe can be gained. It has surpassed by far the expectations of very one. The crop is a whopper and should really be seen to be ap- preciated. The average man would scarcely be able to realize that so much vegetation could be grown on an

acre of ground. The crop now stands between four and six feet in height, some of it higher, and the large heads are almost as thick as they can grow.
 A party of ranchers who were at the ranch day before yesterday look ing the crop over estimated that it would yield in maize alone any where from 300 to 800 pounds per acre. Thus for the only sale for the maize has been for seed and the market price has varied between three and five cents. It can be readily expected, though, that that price will be maintained. It is said, however, by those who have had experience with maize that it is in every respect the equal of wheat and should at any time command as great a price. It can be seen at a glance that if this is the case and an acre will produce between three and five thousand pounds, there is a great future in store for that crop in the Salt River valley. The crop can be matured in ninety days. It can be planted after other grain has been taken off the ground and ma tured and harvested in the faH in time for grain ploughing again
 Then too. the fodder, after the heads have been removed and threshed is of a great deal of value. It is claimed that for stock feed 1t is superior to sorghum in many re- spects.
 The thing at the present time that is worrying MT. Wilbur is how to harvest the crop. It win be an i'm mense task to cut the heads by hand. It is probable that the har- yesting will be a further continual ton of the experiment which was started when the crop was planted and that another year Mir. Wilbur will know more about the success ful cultivation of the crop than he does now. His friends will profit by his experience too, and altogether the experiment is a good thing for the community.

DID hOT WANT
 CONTINUATION
 OF SENTENCE
Spence Preferred Hanging and Did not Expect the Governor to Take Ac- ton to Save His Neck

PHoENIX Aug. S.--Frank Spence passed through to the penitentiary in charge of Sheriff Smith. to begin serving the like sentence under the executive order of a communication of his sentence for the murder of Edgar Sullivan. of which the doomed man was found guilty in the Prescott dis trict court
 Spence has been aware for sever al days of the communication of his sentence. and in a statement i'm parted the startling information that he would rather die on the scaffold than pass the remainder of his life in the territorial penitentiary.
 His indifference to the fate of be- ing hanged. his disinterested de- meanor all through the trying days after he was sentenced to death and his apparent disregard of the awful fate that awaited him, were reflected in the expressions of the utmost hatred that he had escaped the moose
 In short he was morose and since being informed of his escape form death he has maintained a stolid and wanton disregard of the crime he was adiudged guilty of commit ing. Spence is puzzling those who are looking after him in the death watch
 He has stated that he will ge to the penitentiary an innocent man of the crime he was convicted of, and in the near future he does not desire to raise a finger in his behalf main taining that in the killing of Sullivan he was justified, and that his trial was not a fair and impartial one.
 He also says that he would rather have been hanged in Prescott than be sent down there," as he tersely mentions the Florence peniteltiary. backing up his assertion with. the belief that he has but two years at he most to live.
 Physically Spence. is in a demor alized and shattered condition. His once vigorous frame has withered. and today he is more of an abject type of decadence that a mortal Of other days. His appetite is gone, and with his emaciated body, he has aged perceptibly in the past twentymonths. His face is furrow- ed with the marks of the heavy mental strain with which he has been burdened since his incarcera- tion. and it is believed that his days are numbered on this. earth.
 Spence also says that all through ! his life since he reached manhood
Bisbee daily review., 1910-08-09

he has been in a constanta chnnel of turmoil and trouble, and he is desirous of the end coming as soon as fate wills it.
 The death watch placed over him since last June was maintained until he left the cell where he had been confined since the sentence was i'm posed. He is nearing 50 years Of age and for over tsrty years he has been a resident of Yavapai county, spending the greater portion of that time on the ranch where he committed the crime and for which he goes to the penitentiary for the remainder of his life.

WILL TRY ID SOLVE BUILDING PUZZLE
DOUGLAS WATER DEPARTMENT WHISTLES WITH THE CUES
 TON OF OFFICE QUARTERS

DOUGLAS, Aug S.-(Special)-
 Further attempts are to be made to straighten out the questions con nected with the building of offices to house the city water department as a result or conferences which were held yesterday afternoon, and special meeting of the council will be taken to act further on the sub ject.
 When application was made by the water commission to erect 8 building on the triangle block which was a part of the property taken over from ] the D. l. company, this application referred to the proposed building as a Glass c" building. This refer enee to Glass c" was to the class as designated by the insurance regu- lations and not as classified by the city ordinance. Under the latter a class c building is one of frame. ac- cording to the city engineer. The building proposed is not of frame.
 Yesterday afternoon the city en- gineer was in conference with the commissioners and they explained the building to him and stated that to carry out the plans they would use tiling for a roof instead of shin gle, so that the proposed building would be of less inhammable ma terial than a number Of other build ings within the fire limits. The city engineer then pointed out that even under those circumstances the walls would have to be raised two feet to bring the building within the ordinance.
 Later a conference was held with Mayor Wright and the matter gone over with him. He stated that the only way he could see was to get the council to pass an ordinance or resolution excepting the particular block in question from the fire linn its ordinance as there would be no other building on this block and the proposed building, while not within the provisions of the ordinance is of less infiammable material
 This morning Mayor Wright was seen by an International representa- tive and stated that he would call special meeting of the council to consider the matter, and so it stands. The commission do not wish to have new set of plans for a building drawn and it is a question whether the council will consent to making any exception to the ordinance for themselves. when they would not for a private individual.
