STAR ROUTE
DISCONTINUED
To Take Effect the First
Of October
NJ ESA-R 0 0 SEVELT STAGE
He Never Fully Regained
His Health After Span
ish-American War. The
Funeral Will Be Held Ir
Tempe
NJ ESk-R OS EvELT STAGE

According to instructions received at
this place yesterday the star mail
route between Mesa and Roosevelt has
been ordered discontinued, the order
to go into effect on the first day of
october. As is customary the con-
tractor who is at present carrying the
mail will have one months extra pay
or in other words will receive pay for
the month of November.
Arthur G. Kean, who recently pur-
chased the Mesa Roosevelt stage line,
was greatly surprised by the ruling
of the second assistant postmaster
general and d petition will Immediately
be circulated to reconsider the order
and continue the service until the first
of the year at least. 1t is a well known
fact that the work at the dam will not
be completed before that time and that
the increasing number of patrons
along the line viii also be greatly dis
commoded. It will be recalled that the
service was discontinued one year ago
and that through the efforts of petit
ton as well as personal letters to
Delegate Cameron the matter was re-
considered and the route re-estab-
lished.
Just what effect the discontinuance
of the mail route will have on the
stage line remains to be seen. 1t is
known that the mail contract is a
strong incentive To the stage business
success and it is not known whether
the line will be continued without the
mail contract or not. 1t is understood,
however, that Mr.. Kean will continue
the line at least a month after the first
Of october anyway and maybe longer
if the business will justify.
However with the discOntinuance of
the stage line the Mesa merchants as
well as a number of the stations along
the route will feel the result. Prac-
tically all perishable freight, such as
eggs, meat. fruit, and butter, IS carried
into Roosevelt by way of the stage In
| the event Of the taking off of the
stages ii will mean that the perishables
will come from Globe as the merchants
at this place cannot hope to supply the
market 1t is also generally known
that the great bulk of the mail goes
over the Mesa line. In the event that
| the line is discontinued from this
point it will take three and four days
| for a letter to go from the headquar-
| tiers at Phoenix to the employees at the
/ dam.

r. w. GRiFFEw,
Manager

in the military affairs of the terri
tory, being first, second and then
first lieutenant of Company c. He
was a strict drill master but a man
who enjoyed the respect and conf
dencc of every man in the company.
His health went from bad to worse
and something over year ago he
sought admission to the Soldiers
home. After a residence of a few
months there his mind gave way
and for some months now he has
been a complete mental wreck.
In his death Tempe loses a warm
friend and there is many man here
and elsewhere in the valley who will
be deeply and sincerely grieved at
learning of his end under such pitt
full circumstances. SO far as could
be alarmed yesterday. Mr.. Campbell
has no near relatives but his friends
are legion.

MESA TEAM WILL
PLAY ALvORD'S JEWELS
STRONG LINEUP FOR SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY.
Cuber and Williams Will Play in the
Box for Mesa.

4 hastily assembled bunch of ball
players from this place will go against
Jewels today in Phoenix
at East Lake park. 1t is also under
stood that another game will be played
Sunday at the same place.
For the past several weeks challenges
have been sent out in a promiscuous
manner from the capital city inviting
all organizations who had the least
idea that they could play ball to come
to Fastlake park on any date and learn
just how little they knew about the
game The Mesa team was the first
to take the challenge in a personal
nature and an immediate conference
resulted in the determination to give
the Phoenix bunch a practice game If
nothing more.
As a matter Of fact the Mesa team
will go into the game without prac-
ticc, but practically every man on the
team is seasoned timber and under
stands the game from the toss up.
Furthermore, Alvord's aggregation has
not showed any remarkable achieve
ments, at least not enough to discour-
age the team from this place.
ne DIc-up VI llc MtSi team VIII
provide for Williams to pitch the
game today, while Leo Cuber will
be in the box on Sunday. Cuber. by the
way, is one of the speediest pitchers
that has ever called Mesa his home
and the complexion of his curves are
strange innovations to the Phoenix
players.
The lineup will probably be as fol-
lows: Joe Morris, catcher; Ernie VIII
liams and Leo Cuber. pitchers; Null
len, shortstop: Tours, first base; l.
Dykes. second base; d. Ford, thirt
base; F. Dykes, left field; Earl Stand
age, center field; Jesse Stewart, right
field: Guy Collins, substitute.
1t is understood that a delegation
will go from this place to support tho
team by any words of encouragement
that they can hand down from tn
grandstand.

STOLE HIS TROUSERS
WHILE He WAS ASLEEP
They Were Found But the Contents
of Their Pockets Is Missing.

When Dick Lugo awakened yes
terday morning and reached down
to the side of his cot for his trousers
which he had left there in their Gus
tomary place the night before upon
retiring. he found that they were
gone The loss of the trousers did
not give him a great deal of concern
for they were of no special value
but what did trouble him was the
fear that the watch that he had left
on one of their pockets might be
gone, forever. Upon looking around,
he located the trousers some little
distance from his cot and, upon go
ing through the pockets, his gravest
fears were realized. The trousers
were intact but the pockets were
empty.
Mr.. Lugo occupied Il cot on the
west side of the FOCAL barn and the
trousers were found upon the vacant
lots between there and Mill avenue.
Whoever got away with the watch
quietly stole the trousers and, after
going through the pockets, dropped
them where they were found. The
watch was of the Waltham make and
originally cost $50. In addition to
the watch, a pocket knife and five
cents, all else that the pockets of
the trousers contained, was also
taken. Mr.. Lugo scanned the
ground closely but was unable to
find a footprint or track of any kind
that will assist him in apprehending
the thief. All he could do was to
notify the officer and give them the
description of the watch. This he
did and they are on the lookout for
any one carrying a watch that an
swers that description.

Mr.. Mullen being out of the valley
on a hunting trip, the telegram was
delivered to oscar Mullen. It will be
quite impossible TO reach Mr.. Mullen
where he now is and it will proba-
bly, be some weeks before he will
learn of the death and burial of his
friend. 1t was one of Mr.. Campbelrs
requests that upon the occasion of
his death he be buried in Tempe by
the odd Fellows of this place and
this request will be complied with.
\ telegram was sent to the home
last evening advising that the re
mains be embalmed and sent here
for interment.
When they will arrive here or
when the funeral will be held can
not be stated just now but definite
announcement will probably be
made in tomorrow mornings paper
and it is altogether probable that the
funeral will be held here Sunday.
There are few men in the valley
better known or more highly re-
garded than Jack Campbell and it is
unfortunate that a little of his life's
history is not available. No man
was ever more loyal to his country
and it can be truly said that for the
love of his country Mr.. Campbell
gave up his life, for his illness and
death can be traced directly to sick
ness contracted during the Spanish

A STRENUOUS TRIP
ACROSS THE DESERT
Eighteen Days on the Road Where
Water and Feed Were Scarce.

w A. Woods arrived here Thurs
day Thursday evening from New
Mexico after an overland trip of
eighteen days duration. during which
time he had a few experiences that
he will not be likely to forget in
some time to come. Most of the
time since his arrival here he has
spent in drinking water and he says
that he became so dried out on the
trip, it seems almost impossible for
him to quench his thirst now.
Mr.. Woods family have been here
some little time and eighteen days
ago he left his home near Hachita
bound for Tempe. He made the
trip overland with a wagon and
four head of horses and says that
never before in all his western eX-
perience did he encounter so much
dry land There has ben practically
no rain all along the route Mr.. Wood
Travelled and consequently there was
a total absence of feed and the water
holes were few and far part. He
was, of course, obliged to carry all
his feed along and more than once
found the watering places entirely
too far apart for comfort. He fol-
lowed the main line of the Southern
Pacific most of the distance and
made the trip as far as MaTicOpa in
fairly good shape. II was there his
troubles really began for the first
night he camped there, two of his
horses got away. The next morning
he trailed them for six miles bare
the chase, coming back to Maricopa
for a saddle and a canteen. He ther
took a fourteen mile trip still on the
trail of the missing horses and
found that they were headed bach
homeward. Returning to Maricopa
he secured an Indian who spent {
| couple of days on the trail with NJ
results. Mr. Wood then took tn,
