WHEELER OPPROvEs
 RANGER SELECTIONS
(Douglas International, ,

The appointment of three county rangers has given general satisfac- tion fin Douglas, where from the time of the aboiishing of the territorial force by the legislature the need of a county force has been recognized, not for the preservation of order in the cities but in the outlying dis tricts. There have been crimes com mitted which might have been pre-. vented by a ranger force, and of late cattle rustling has been frequent ly reported.
 Harry Wheeler. former captain of the rangers. felt that the wiping cut of the territorial force was a mistake and frequently said so. He favored the appointment of county force as a substitute if it could be done and kept out of politics. He is therefore pleased with the move which the su- peryisors have taken. Seen by re- porter this morning he said Two of the appointees I know well, and the third am not acquainted with. Rye Mills and Hicks were on my force and they are both good men. I know that politics will not enter into the new force so far as they are concern ed Coleman I do not know, but I hear him well spoken of. If he is as good as I know the other two to be no complaint can be made as to the appointments. and certainly they are needed"

WANTS PAY FOR BRIDE.
(Globe Belt)

Quite a nfie commotion was caused in front of the sheriffs office last evening when an old Apache warrior insisted on taking his young daughter away from the young buck whom she had been married but short time.
 It appears that the old man had entered into a pre-nuptial tor the Apache for that contract with his prospective spn-in-iaw, which stipu- lated certain payments for the hand of his daughter. The young couple have been living together for some time and no such payment was forth coming, so papa Indian insisted on having his daughter back and tried to take her by force, which was sue cessfuIly resisted.
 No-GetHisPay will probably car " the matter up to the higher courts of his tribe.

LAW IS WELCOMED
 BY OLD FRIENDS
Douglas Internationally

Thomas w. Law, now manager of the King Edward hotel in Los An geles. and foremrly manager of the Gadsden hotel in this city. arrived on his long expected wish on Wednes- day evening, having delayed sn Globe more than two weeks longer than be had expected, and was warmly greet ed by his many friends here, who found him the same jolly and geniai Tommy" Law that he was when he left, changed in no way.
 Tom Law was one oi the early day Dougiasites who left this city and be- came manager of the Old Dominion hotel in Globe. His popularity tbere attracted attention from here ard he was induced to return to Douglas and assume the management of the Gads- den. He made this hotel a Mecca for travelling men and gathered about it the ''iiveiiest bunch" in the city. and by all classes his departure for larger fields was regretted.
 It is now more than a month ago that he wrote that he was coming to visit his Douglas friends. and at that time he was expected to visit this City uISt. Out tuStcdd hc "thl U Globe. There the former proprietor of the old Dominion found that his popularity had not declined in his absence. and he was persuaded to finger on and on at the expense of shortening his visit to this city. However, a telegram from Fairbanks on Wednesday afternoon told that he was really on the way. he arrived in due season and an smpromptu celebrs- ton followed that lasted into the wee, sma' hours of Thanksgiving morning. was resumed and continued yesterday afternoon and last night.
 From Douglas Mir. Law will go to Fl Paso and thence return 10 the An gel City and the King Edward. Wherever he Is Tommy" Is a booster and now he tells of the prosperity of Los Angeles here. just as he will boost for Douglas on his return to the coast He has not definitely fixed the length of his stay in Douglas as yet, beyond stating that he ought to leave for Fl Paso tomorrow. His friends are saying nay.

MURDERER IS GIVEN
 4 LIFE SENTENCE

GLOBE, Nov. 25.-Guilty of mur- der in the first degree with a life sentence was what the jury de- cided in the case of Harry Jose, while Juan Walter was allowed to go free. This was the verdict rem deYed by the twelve good men and true in the case of the Territory vs. Harry Jose and Juan Walter who were indicted for the murder of Rex Chiquito.
 1t was about ten-thirty yesterday morning when the defense opened their argument to the jury and At to-ney Hendricks began with an at tack on the prosecution. He inti- mated that unfair tactics had been used and stated that in all his wide experience be had never known of so flagrant a case He estimated that the attorney for the prosecution had or had caused the altering of the exhibit, a gun. This attack and the impressing upon the minds of the jury as to the strength of the tes- timony introduced proving an alibi was the sum total of his address.
 Attorney Flanniean then made a few remarks to the jury and caised to their attention that 1t was impos sible for a man on horseback tc fire . shot which would take sucf a course through a mans body as the one which had killed Rex. He went on further and intimated thai there had been no intent proven and that it might be that some wit

TROOPS AT AGUA PRiETA.
DougIas Internationally

Douglas Internationally
 It was reported last night that General sKosterlitzky would be fD Agua Prieta by this morning and that a cordon of troops would be drawn all along the Sonora line at least from near here to the vicinity of Nogales. with men stationed with in speaking or calling distance of each other for picket duty. It was learned this noon that he had not ar rived and it was surmised that he had received other orders as to the disposition of troops. In this section such a picketing of the international line would seem to be unnecessary. for no disorder or even threatened trouble has yet been reported here abouts. Mexican officials at Agua Pr'eta report tha. all is quiet there and that the only steps taken by the government there have been solely pre-. cautionary measures.
 In this city interest is still intense and all news from the outside Is awaited with interest for the business affairs of this city are so closely con- nected with those of Sonora. Some of the more timid merchants have asked the mayor as to the possibility of furnishing more police protection. but all this time the concensus of opinion is that tbecity has no need of any further protection than it now has. There has been no sign of any sympathetic movements in Douglas and the order and quietGde. from a criminal point of view, remain abso- lutely undisturbed during all the talk ] that can be heard.

MILLIONS IN II + RUBBER
 TREE WILL GROW IN ARIZONA

, reon the Mexican population is de nuding the entire country of yule Even the roots are being dug up and son at the regular rate of S175 a ton. In Captain Ord's opinion 1t vii. not be many years until the supply of Mexican ytile is exhausted The Mexicans are making no at tempt 10 replace the plant where ft is being cut of.
 As soon as he saw the ,uie and the character of the country in which it grows, Captain Ord began to wonder if it would not grow in Arizona. In fact, he has his sus- picions that it may be growing somewhere in this territory. The mountains of Yayapai, he says. seem to offer an ideal place It is possible that the plant wid grow in the Salt River valley but Captain Ord fears that this altitude is too low Every effort will be made, neyerthe less, by the capitol grounds gard ner, to keep alive the plant which the captain presented to Gov. SSoan. It is year old and about two feet long. Nearly. all the leaves and some of the flowers are still on it.
 Captain ord returned from Mex ico by way of Fl Paso, Aibuerque and Prescott. At Prescott he stopped several days and showed the plant to a professional gardner oi his ac- qltdntance. The gardner looked through all his books but could not find out anything about the shrub Captain Ord gave him some seed which he will plant in the mile-high town. At that altitude the yu!e should do quite we,a
 '1 can see no reason why yuls snould not grow In Arizona and make thousands of acres of our non-prt- ductive lands bring in rich reve nues," said Captain Ord last night T win do everything in my power to demonstrate that the plant can be grown in Arizona and that it is immensely profitable. -Aeyicois sup ply is being reckessly dissipated There is no attempt,sak conservation or replacement of ynfe in that coun try"
 One point upon which Captain Ord laid particular stress IS tha, yule is not the same plant that Is pefDS used Ill SOioiduo lOT tnc
 manufacture of rubber. They are entirely distinct and yule is mucn more profitable. since the percent age Of rubber is higher and the bushes are many times larger
 Captain Ord had a most interest ing trip through Mexico. He spoke particularly of the Hacienda Gorreon. an estate about forty miles from San Luis Potosi, which is owned by a Mexican citizen named Zavala- On this big ranch the captain sas' the finest herd of cattle. -he-eyer be held in enc paved court yard he saw 200 Holstein dairy cattle. In connection with the dairy Is creamery and refrigerating pant The cheese and butter are sold In the City of Mexico.
 The Hacienda Gorreon is irrigated from fifteen artesian wells. During the last year seventeen weils have sunk on the place and water is flowing from fifteen. Five of the flowing wells are in on acre, which is something unequaled in any other part Of the world. The deepest well is PFC meters and the shallow est ITO meters.
 From two of the wells the flow is 2I0,0c0 gallons a minute. This water is piped five miles and usec for the generation of 900 electric horsepower which operates the creamery and other machinery on the estate.
