CHECK FORCER
IS CAPTURED

7. w. Lockhart, who has been
employed by Bawcom and Wetz-
Ter for some time past came in
town the other day and in the
rounds of the saloons and other
houses issued number OF checks
signed by the people for whom
he had been working. The sig
natures looked good to the men
who cashed them and were pass
ed upon by the officers of the
bank as genuine. For time the
forger seemed to have a clear
track and would have left the
town with $355.OO in cash had
not the affair come to the notice
OF Officer B. F. ketchum, who in
vestigated the matter and upon
an examination of the checks de-
cided that they were not good.
He at once proceeded to find
Lockhart to have an explana-
ton, but found that he had left
town. He then started on the
trail despite the protests of the
people who had cashed the bogus
checks, locating his man at Ada
mana, and when confronted by
the officer and when questioned
about the validity of the checks
that he had cashed, confessed
that they were wor bless. He
was brought back a, given
hearing and bound over to the
tall term otcourt under $25OO.OO
bail which he was unable to fur
nish. He was placed in the coun
ty Jail a Holbrook to await the
time when he will be brought to
Justice.

VIVIAN BLACK
SENT TO ASYLUM

Vivian Black, a character from
the under world, who has been
prominent in the police court for
some time past, was again up on
a charge of robbery last week,
and as q result was turned over
to a medical examining board
of Drs. Sampson, Sprankle and
ID. c. Brown, who after a thor
ough examination, returned a
verdict of insanity and recon-
mended that she he taken to
an asylum. And it was
upon this recommendation that
the authorities placed her in the
hands of B. F. Ketchun Tuesday
morning, who took her to the
Insane Asylum at Phoe nix where
it is thought that she can be
cured of ailment. She has served
a short term in the Holbrook
Jail for robbing persons while in
her resort and upon a promise
to refrain from further acts of
the kind was released, only to be
taken up again on a similar
charge. Her last charge being
for taking $40 from the person
of a man who was at the time in
the house which she occupied.
The large dog which she owned
was turned over to F. T. La
Prade to be sold to pay off an
account which she owed him for
furniture.

Coal Lands Await Valuation

The Government has a gigan-
tic task in hand in the classified
tion and valuation of it's coal
lands in the West. These lands
are probably the Nations great
est direct asset, not even except
ing the millions of horsepower
latent in the rivers on the public
lands. During the last two
years the United States Geologi-
cal survey has examined in great
geologic detail over 10000
acres of the western coal lands,
and in the month of March it
classified and appraised 1920
74S acres, with a valuation OF
$37,971, TAO. There still remains
withdrawn, however, S,152,
sos acres awaiting classification

account of the very good fills
secured all week. The rise in
price and the. general action of
the market were acceptable to
shippers and had the effect of
shutting off many of the steers
that were being sent in prema-
turely. Whatever hopes arose
in the breasts of cattle feeders
last week received some discour-

hackset today is not regarded
seriously, and general uplift in
prices is anticipated in the next
few weeks. Packers anticipate
this as they have already served
notice of an advance in whole
sale price of meats, effective in
the near future. The best price
paid for heavy steers last week
was $6.1O, yearlings made $6.15

The hog market gained about

Local receipts were about as

prevails that we are on the eve
of smaller runs at all points.
This feeling, together with an
actual reduc the supply ut

new SHEEP TYPE
Is LATEST EVOLUTION

man in charge OF the University
of Arizona Experiment Station
Farm at Ph9NiX, gives out an
interesting report of the results
obtained through the expert
ments which bave been carried
on at the farm during the past
year, by which it has been at
tempted to produce two new
types of sheep.
The experiment station at the
University has been concerned
tor several years with the prob.
lem OF producing a type of ami
NAL which would be peculiarly
adapted to the climate of the
warm, irrigated valleys of the
Territory, and another for the
colder climate and higher alti-
tudes of the mountain districts.
In the type sought for the noun
tain sheep, it has been Mr.. Will
sons desire to produce sheep
that would have a strong con
constitution to withstand the
extreme cold, produce good NUT
ton lambs and raise a good crop
OF wool. The problem in the ex-
pertinent for d type suitable for
the valleys has been to produce
a good mutton lamb, profit
able clip of wool and an animal
able to withstand extreme eli
matte conditions, and an animal
which would be ready to breed
at any time of the year with reg
ularity.
Since the present experiments
were put under way, four brands
of sheep have been selected for
breeding, and two generations
OF lambs have been produced
with a gratifying result, which
shows a near approach to the
desired creation OF mountain and
valley types. There are at
present $50 sheep being used on
the farm and the work is more
than half completed Mr. Wilson
says that if only SIX or eight of
the sheep OF the two types are
produced, he will consider the
time and the expense involved in
the experiment well spent. A
crop of six pounds to the head
was good average for sheep
taken to the farm for crossing
purposes, but since the blood Of
the focks has been interchanged
and strengthened the yearly crop
of the entire number will aver
age as high as eight and one
third pounds. Some of the ami
mails have clipped as high as
eighteen pounds Careful selec-
ton of the types used for the ex-
periments has insured the pro
duction of a superior animal,
and the rules of Mendel's Law
of Breeding have been strictly
adhered to iii the attempts made
to determine and fix the charac-
ter of the sheep.
This year the flock at the ex-
pertinent farm has lambed one
and one sixth lambs for every
eve in the flock, which is regard
ed by sheep men as a remarkable
showing. AS an indication OF
the prolific qualities of the sheep
raised at his station, Mr.. Wilson
states that last May he sent
twenty-five Tunis rams to the
Hutchinson ranch in Yavapa1
County. There were twenty
five Oxford lambs in the herd at
the time, both the Oxford and
Tunis rams being thrown in the
main herd of 500 ewes. When
the flock was last counted there
were | 200 Tunis lambs and 800
Of the Oxford.

LITTLE CHANCE
FOR STATEHOOD

washington, May Io-oCdte-
hood for New Mexico and Arizo-
ma on condition that the people
of both states be given an op-
portunity to vote on proposed
changes in their constitutions
was taken upin the house today.
Representative Flood presented
the report Of the majority OF the
committee on territories and a
minority report has been brought
in by the republican members Of
the committee. The republicans
insist that the constitutions Of
both states be approved by con-
gress in exactly the form IN
which they were ratified by the
people of Arizona ond New Mex
ico.
1t has been agreed that three
davs be allowed for debate on
the question of the admission OF
the states. The time is to be
equally divided between the dem
ocrats and republicans. Repre-
sentative ]. N. Langham Of Penn
sylvania will have charge OF the
minority report, while Chairman
Henry D. Flood of Virginia will
have charge for the majority
findings.
Representative John A. Martin
of Colorado opened the debate
for the democrats today. He
urged the approval of the Joint
resolution admitting the terrific
ries with the amendments to be
voted upon by the people as
condition of admission. M r..
Martin complained bitterly that
Arizona's constitution had not
been accorded fair treatment by
the president. The constitution,
framed and ratified by the peo-
pie OF New Mexico, he pointed
out had been at once approved
by the president, while that OF
Arizona had been before M
Taft for over two months and
still there was no word from the
White House of it's approval or
ever OF it's disapproval. People
had come here from New Mexico
and urged congress and the pres
1dent to disapprove, amend or
delay action on the New Mexico
constitution, but no complaint
had been made by the people OF
Arizona against the progressive
and courageous constitution
proposed for that state. "It is
in Washington, not in Arizona, =
he added, "that objection to this
constitution arises"
Representative Frank B. Willis
of Ohio will be the next speaker
and tomorrow will argue for the
adoption of the minority report.
Democratic leaders claim to
have enough votes in the house
to pass the resolution as recon
mended by the majority report,
but bitter fight is predicted be-
fore this is done. Many republi-
cans claim that the approval OF
the resolution in it's present form
would constitute disapproval
of the New Mexico constitution
Even should it pass the house it
is almost certain to die in the
senate. In view of this state OF
affairs, it is generally conceded
here, by friends of both terrific
ries, that prospects of their ad-
mission as states at the present
special session of congress are, to
say the least, remote.
