BETZVuE TALES
Antipater Phipps and the Carp
@By Ellis Darker BuHet:6

BY PETER NEWELL

Comes Marching Home" in sweet, sad
tones. For the first two or three eve
nings nothing happened. 1t took that
long for the carp to thoroughly digest
the worm and assimilate it into its be-
ing, probably, but when the worm be-
came really part of the carp, the
carp felt it. The third evening, as
Antipater Phipps was playing his sad
requiem the old carp stuck its head
out of the water, and rolled it's sad,
large eyes, and the tears poured out
of them. The next night the carp was
still more overcome, and when Anti
pater began to play it wiggled out of
the water and went up and sat on the
log beside Antipater, and they wept
in unison, until Antipater's tears ran
down into the flute and made it
gurgle like juicy pipe.
Antipater did not know whether he
loved the carp more because it was a
soulful carp or because it was the last
resting place of the dancing worm
he only knew he loved it. Sometimes
he looked upon the carp as sort Of
finny graveyard in which the late
worm reposed, and sometimes, as the
poet says.

A simple carplet was to him."
but he loved the carp more and more
as the days went by, and made it his

Those who have seen Antipater
Phipps on the streets of Betzville re-
Gently have noticed his sad mien and
the eight-inch band of crepe around
his hat, and nearly all have known his
loss, but few know how deeply Antip-
alter has suffered. About a year ago
Antipater was learning to play the
flute, and one evening he was sitting
on his front steps with his legs
crossed and fluting away for all he
was worth, when he happened to
glance down and saw a sight which
surprised him. Just before him, on
the walk. fishworm, as we call them
in Betzville, or an angleworm, as they
are sometimes called when spoken of
at one of Aunt Rhinocolura Bettz's
swell functions, was standing on it's
tail, swaying gently to the sweet
strains of the flute, on which Antipa-
ter was playing when Johnnie Comes
Marching Home"
Antipater had heard of snake charm
ers, but he had never known that a
fishworm could be charmed in the
same way, and he was so interested
that he played on until the fishworm
was so exhausted with it's continued
dancing that it fell painting at his feet.
And even then, when Antipater went
on with the music, the worm would
hop onto it's tail and wiggle a few

constant companion. OF course there
were difficulties. The carp could not
stay out of the water long at a time.
1t would hop out and love up to An
tipater until it got red in the face for
lack of breath, and then it would hop
into the creek again and breathe, and
when it had breathed it would hop
out again, and snuggle up to Anti
pater. Often 1t showed, by its actions,
that it would like to follow Antipater
home, but it knew better than to get
far from the water, and when Antipa-
ter went it would flop few yards
with him and then wave him fare
we'll with it's tail and flop back to the
creek.
About three weeks ago Antipater
and the carp were sitting on their log,
played the flute, when black and
white form burst from the bushes. 1t
was dog. and Antipater saw it was
foaming at the mouth. It would have
been an easy matter for the carp to
have plunged into the creek, but when
it saw the dog making for Antipater
the faithful creature sprang lightly
between .Antipater and the dog. By
the time Antipater could seize rock
and kill the dog the faithful carp was
severely bitten, bat it made light of it
and wagged it's tail cheerfully.
Last Monday when Antipater went
down to the creek with his flute he
saw sad sight. The carp, with glar-
ing eyes and foaming mouth, was try
ing to flop as far as possible from the
water, having the hydrophobic fear of
it, and Antipater saw there was moth
ing he could do. If the carp was put
into the water it would have a
paroxysm and die, and if it stayed
away from the water it would die for
lack of breath. So Antipater drew out
his flute and played when Johnnie
Comes Marching Home" and the carp
arose on its tail and danced one or
two wigsles and dropped dead. That
same afternoon Antipater Phipps took
his flute to the plumbers and had the
touch holes plugged up. He says he
will never play again.

Exact Copy Of Wrapped
Story Of a Moving Pumpkin.

A pumpkin was ssen to walk across
the field by Mrs. Samuel H. Hight OF
Skowegan recently. When she saw
it she thought her eyes were deceiv-
ing her, but she soon perceived that
the pumpkin moved little way,
stopped and then turned in another
direction. She watched this object for
some time and told one of her neigh
bors. The mystery was solved, but
the two women did not dare to go
nearer the moving vegetable, but
called man who knocked the pump
kin over and found a polecat. The
skunk had crawled under the pumpkin
and stuck his head into a hole in it
and was unable to eXtricate himself
from it and had walked off as best he
could with the pumpkin on his back

"DOPED" BY BLACKS.
White Housekeeper of Three Negroes
Tells of Crime.

Butte-Sensational testimony was
given in the criminal branch Of the
district court when Mrs. Evelyn Rob-
erts, witness in connection with the
trial of Albert H. Jones, Henry john
son and Andrew T. Howard, colored,
charged with the murder of John
Jones, white, admitted that she had
been the housekeeper for the trio of
negroes and finally, under pressure Of
the interrogations, told all the details
of Jones' death.
The colored trio had lured Jones into
their house and there had given him
a beer with large amount of dope"
in it. After the drug had caused the
man to fall into sleep which ended
in his death the victim had been d.
vested of all his clothing, which had
been rifled of everything of value.
Following this the body was bound
hand and foot and during the dark
ness of the night was hurled down an
abandoned mining shaft, where it was
accidentally found by boys in play.

weak wiggles until 1t absolutely
couldn't wiggle any more. When Anti
pater did up his flute and started into
the house the worm tried to hop up
the steps after him, but it did not
have enough resiliency, or spring, so
Antipater had to lift it up the steps.
When Antipater went to bed the worm
curled itself up meekly on the floor
and slept theresvery soundly, for it was
quite worn out, it had danced SO hard.
The next day as soon as Antipater
awoke he saw the worm, and all that
day he played the flute to it, and SO
on into the night, but about three
o'clock in the morning committee
of neighbors came in and told Antip-
ater that if he did not stop fluting i'm
mediately and forever they would let
him choose any one of Is telephone
poles on which to be hung. They
told him that if he was anyone else
they would not even allow him to
choose the pole, but seeing that it was
him, he could have his choice. So
the day after that Antipater did not
flute at all.
The fishworm hung around all that
day in a coaxing attitude, just beg
ging Antipater to start up "When
Johnnie Comes Marching Home" but
Antipater did not dare. He repulsed
the worm coldly and told it to scoot,
as we might say. For while the
worm hung about, hoping against hope,
and then Antipater saw sigh pass
from one end of it to the other, and it
started in a straight line for the creek
and crawled into the water. When
Antipater saw what the worm was do
ing he made dash for it, but he was
too late; just as he reached the water
a big German carp dashed up and
swallowed the worm. Antipater wept
with remorse. There was nothing
much else that he could do, for when
a carp swallows worm, it is, as
might be said, good-by worm.
But Antipater did what he could to
make reparation. svery evening he
would steal down to the bank of the
creek to the spot where the worm had
disappeared, end play when Johnnie

tine for smallpox in Montana after
Jan. /. This was the decision arrived
at by the state board of health after
the meeting, to allow protestants
against this decision to appear and
make their complaints. But the board
granted a modification of the order at
the request of Missoula insofar as
hotels and lodging houses are con-
cerned, whose business it was repre-
sented, might be damaged. While
there will be on quarantine of such
places when smallpox is discovered,
the patient will be removed from the
premises.
Otherwise the original order of the
board will stand.
The meeting did not bring out as
many opponents of the order as was
expected. Three appeared from Mis-
soula, Frank Woody being the spokes-
man. A general protest was entered
against the ORDER but the principal OBJ
lection raised was that the business of
the hotel men and lodging house
keepers might be affected. There
were also five or six written protests,
but none of the arguments advanced
were sufficiently strong to cause the
board to alter it's decision, except as
to the removal of persons suffering
with smallpox from hotels and lodging
houses.

FREEDMAN BOOSTING
 FOR FRISCO FAIR
He is Planning to Divert Quarter of Million Tourists Through This
 Valley

Harry Friedman returned a day or so ago from his annual tour of Cali fornia, bubbling over with confidence
 in the great future of Arizona and her institutions. As usual he spent little time and some money in Los Angeles both going and coming but the greater part of his outing was in San Fran
 cisco and the bay country. He says
 that Frisco is the only best place for
 an Arizonian to go if he wants to get
 properly cooled off by the ocean
 breezes. This summer was exception ally cool until very recently; so cool, in fact, that as he had neglected to take his overcoat he found it necessary
 to slide out into the back country oc- casionally to get warm again. One of
 these trips was to Vichy springs which he says is a delightful spot some dis tance north of San Francisco and mo- table place for the cure of rheumatism. He mentions one man who went there only few weeks ago on crutcheS and who threw them away soon after and when MT. Friedman arrived walked him over the hills at pace that near ly put him to the bad.
 Speaking of horses MT. Friedman said he saw a lot of fine ones both in San Francisco, at Pleasanton and else where especially at San Jose where he attended the race meeting and enjoyed some good sport. The San Jose track, however, does not seem to create great deal of local excitement, although they had some good horses there which he expects to see in Phoenix in No Vember.
 But over everything else, Mir. Fried man comes back a pronounced booster for the San Francisco fair in 1915. He says it will be a big one and there is a selfish reason why Arizona should throw all her influence for it. It is estimated that not less than ten million people will visit San Francisco during the summer of 1915 if the fair is held there, most of them coming from middle west and eastern and European points. Naturally most of the long distance travellers will go west over al central or northern route and return east over a central or southern route. He believes the central routes will get the larger western travel and the southern routes the larger eastern travel, but assuming that only one tenth of them pass one way over al southern route it will be a tremendous army of sight seers, the larger number of which will want to take in the Grand Canyon and many thousands of them can be induced to go through this val lev. Mir Friedman thinks a quarter of a million of them is not too largeI an estimate, providing proper effort is made to secure stopover privileges as it undoubtedly will be. With thel Arizona and California line in full op- eration Santa Fe travellers can doubt

FRANK HAWKINS MAY
 BE VICTIM OF ASSAULT
. EWARD OF ARIZONA CLUB
 UNCONSCIOUS AT HOME.
Says He Was Struck, But Docs Not
 Name AssaiIant.

With an ugly confusion on his head, evidently inflicted with a club or board, Frank Hawkins. colored steward at the Arizona club, has beer lying unconscious since Saturday morning at his home, Montezuma ave nue and Sherman street. w. c Wheeler, also colored, who with his wife occupied rooms in the Hawkins home, IS held at the police station under suspicion of knowing something of the manner in which Hawkins sus- tained the injuries which may result in his death. The police are also seeking other parties who participated Tn merrymaking at Hawkins house on Friday night and more arrests are expected to be made today.
 According to the story learned by the police in their investigation. which began yesterday afternoon. when the case was reported to them by Dr. Louis Dysart, who is attend ing Hawkins, there was a celebration of some sort at the Montezuma ave nue house on Friday night. About midnight Hawkins is said to have left the house without informing anybody as to his destination. Shortly after he left, it is alleged that Mrs. Wheel CT announced that she was going to the East End, as she was expected to go to work in the morning and was afraid she might oversleep if she remained at the Hawkins house
 About o'clock Saturday morning Hawkins appeared at his home and complained of severe pain in his head. Wheeler claims to have talked with Hawkins at o'clock, two hours after he reappeared at his home, and that Hawkins said somebody had struck him. shortly afterward he lapsed into uncOnsciousness. At II o'clock pr. Dysart was called and found the man unable to speak or give any account of the manner in which he came by his injury.
 His condition was such yesterday as to cause alarm and pr. Dysart. asccrtaining that the police had not been informed of the affair, proceeded to make a report of the case. Wheeler was promptly placed under arrest. but denied any knowledge of how Flaw kins sustained his injury He is said to have told the police that he would iifl llNt Nibil HIS HlAt dSdiii' I'ii'N- ing her unexplained conduct of Friday night and Saturday morning.
 Dr Dysart stated last evening that there was a possibility that Hawkins might have fallen and struck his head upon a board. but that he was some what in doubt of such being the case. The statement of Hawkins before he lapsed into unconsCiOusness is taken by the police to mean that he was the victim of an assault, but so far they have been unable to fix the crime upon any particular party.

It is not unlikely either that those who desire will be given a chance to route themselves east via the Santa Fe and Arizona and California from San Francisco to Phoenix, and thence east over the Southern Pacific if they are bound for southern points. And many who do not want the mixed route will go one way via a northern line and the other way via the South ern Pacific. In that event they will cross southern Arizona and take in the Yuma country and the Globe and Bis bee mining districts. But, however and wherever they go there will be a big army of them who will want to pass through the new state somewhere. and anything that helps any part Arizona, vii in some degree help all of it.
