PROSPERITY SMILES
 Oh GLENDALE FOLK
Cantaloupes, Grain, Sugar Beets and Alfalfa Have All Done Their
 Respective Parts.

The Glendale agriculturists seem to
 have enjoyed a very productive and prosperous year. Beside the good re- suits of the beet business for most of the sugar farmers, a fine crop of grain was harvested, while the cantaloupa growers are we'll pleased with their seasons work It is not necessary to speak about the alfalfa, for they are alway all right. With them the ques tion is not one of win or lose! it is only how much they can win.
 During the past spring new indus trial enterprise known as the Glendale Hay & Grain company was launced in Glendale, the company consisting of Lafayette Myers, Chas. C. Green and Dr J. C. Norton. They have a fine warehouse and pr. Norton, who was out there yesterday, said they were buying everything that comes along at d proper price. They now have about 10000 sacks of grain in storage, most of it being barley. and the rest wheat. The threshing is almost over. though few farmers are yet waiting their turn. The company also deals to some extent in alfalfa seed, but the demand seems to exceed the supply notwith- standing the large acreage devoted to seed this year, and the price of the seed is too stiff to make investment a sure road to wealth for the middle man. It is being held around 12h cents, after which the buyer has to clean and handle it, all costing little money Messrs. Myers and Green went to Buckeye yesterday on a seed buy ing expedition and reported the price down that way just as stiff as any where else.
 The Glendale Cantaloupe association has done exceedingly well and as near as it can be estimated about S40,000 will be paid over during the season to the growers who had 225 acres plant ed to that crop. That is a net price exclusive of freight, icing and the eX- penses incidental to market the crop, and gives the growers a revenue of about s177 per acre. They expect to double the acreage next year and the association has nice little fund in it's treasury for the incidentals of the or ganization in starting next years cam paign.
 Todate returns have been received on about thirty-two carloads, about S12,- poo being divided among the farmers yesterday. There are yet somewhere between eight and twelve cars to hear from a few more cars will probably be shipped. though the season is prac- tically over. The crop has been han

4 STAGE HOLD UP
 THE DRIVER MURDERED TRAGEDY ON THE MOGOLLOk- SILVER CITY LINE. Of Twelve Bars of Bullion the Ban dits Could Carry Away Only
 One.

Albuquerque. Aug 5.--The second time within a week the Mogollon- Silver City stage was held up and robbed, murder being added to the crime in today's affair. Jose Dom inguez. the driver watchful, as a re- suit of his experience of last week opened fire on the bandits and brought a volley from their weapons. Several bullets pierced his body, kill ing him instantly. The robbers hastily gathered twelve bars of silver bullion. the property of the Ernestine Min ing company and the Socorro Mining company, which was being shipped from the mines, and left the scene. There, was no further resistance as the stage was making the trip with out passengers.
 When the stage failed to arrive at Glenwood, Jake Rouse, relief driver was sent to ascertain the trouble He came upon the coach which had been driven several hundred yards from the scene of the robbery by the ban dits, and pursuing the search further found the dead driver lying in the road, where his body had been tossed by the robbers.
 Returning hastily to Glenwood, Rouse reported the affair and soon d posse was on the trail of the fleeing bandits. The mounted police also took the trail and within short time they found eleven bars of the bullion lying in the roadside near where the stage was robbed. Evidently the bur den was too great for the robbers and they abandoned all but one val ued at $500.
 It is believed by the officers of the mounted police that only two men were engaged in the holdup and that they succeeded in reaching the rough mountainous country, with three hours start of the posse.
 The scene of the hoIdup is twenty miles from the railroad in a sparseIy settled section in southwestern So- corro county. Jose Dominguez, the dead driver, was a resident of Silver City. He leaves a widow.

REMAINS WIDELY SCATTERED
By the Japanese Slayer of the Kendall Family-But Not Enough Yet Found for Identification of Any of the Victims.

Cazadero, Cal. Aug. 6.-In a canyon three-quarters of mile from the home of the Kendall family, was found this afternoon the upper jaw, apparently of young man. This is the most direct evidence yet secured to prove that Thomas A. Kendall, a young man of the ill-fated family, had met his death
 District Attorney Lea said he con sidered the finding of this bit of anato- my the best yet secured, for, from the finding of the teeth the identity of the victim can be established. The back teeth on either side had been filled with malgam. The front teeth are miss ing. apparently having been knocked out. The find would indicate that Tom Kendalrs body was cremated.
 The jaw was found by Newton I. Grieder about d quarter of a mile from the spot in the canyon where the torso of woman, believed to be that of Mrs. E. Kendall, was found earlier in the week.
 District Attorney Lea today visited the cabin on the Starbuck place where the Japanese suspect. Henry Yumaga- chi, was seen about the time the triple murder was committed. He collected several articles, of which some may have a bearing on the case, including a broken axe handle, which might have been discarded by the Japanese for a new handle with which to carry out his District Attorney Lea and Sheriff Smith returned to Santa Rosa tonight
 The Kendall house was left in charge I1PnfltV (%rOSnpr men familiar with the hills have been engaged by the sheriff to continue the search for more remains.

ConcIusionofPOIiCe Regarding
 Cleveland Tragedy RICE HAD NO CHANCE
The Lawyers Way Home Was Beset by Three Gangs of Murderers That Their Plans for Revenge Might Not Fail.

Cleveland. Ohio, Aug. 6-A star tling development in the Rice murder case came tonight with the testi- mOny of three men, a night watch man. patrolman and a chauffeur, who told how they had found a man lurking in the rear of the Rice home just prior to the murder The man appeared to be a foreigner, and when he was detected he fled. The men also testified that four shots were fired instead of two. as was at first stated. Two bullets were found in Rice's body. The other two are be- lieved to have been a signal to the murderer's accomplice watching at the other approach to the Rice home for their victim.
 While refusing to make public the entire results of their investigations. the police profess to have established that Rice's movements were closely watched all yesterday evening. and that when he left the Euclid club for home the assassins were lying in wait in at least three places
 Rice was shot twice, struck on the head with blunt weapon and slashed across the left hand with a knife. The theory of robbery has been abandoned. The police believe the murdered man met his death at the hands of men seeking revenge
 The investigation of an Italian golf caddy. who is said to have sworn vengeance against Rice for siding against him in a fight with another caddy, resulted in his dismissal Apart from this slight clew and the fact that two foreigners were seen near the place where the murder occurred just prior to the discovery of the body, the police confess that there is nothing tangible to guide them
 The body was found close to a pow erful arc light. and although Rice carried d large sum of money. in addition to several articles of jewelry. nothing was missing.
 A reward of s5.OO0 has been offered by Rice's law partners for the cap ture of the murderer
