Cashier Lanneau left this morn
ing for Ell Paso to see the battle
field at Juarez; and he hopes to
see some fighting.
On Monday afternoon Deputy
Sheriff, W. F. Willis, was taken
suddenly i'll; he was removed to
the Gardner Hotel and Drs Moore
and Briley summoned and all
night he was a very sick man.
Yesterday he was resting easier
and the doctors now believe he is
out of danger. Mr.. Willis had
been up and attending to busi-
ness all day Monday but. he had
been feeling badly.
The Arizonian acknowledges
receipt of an invitation issued by
the Regents of the University of
Arizona to attend the inaugural
ion of the new president, DR..
Arthur Herbert Wilde, Wednes-
day May II.
Mrs. w. F. Willis and her eous~
ins, the three Misses Purser, went
to Clifton Monday afternoon;
Mrs. Willis returned Tuesday
morning being called home on
account of Mr.. Willis sudden i'll
ness.
Uncle Ed Cosper, one of our
valley farmers called at this
office Monday morning bringing
in sample of his wheat crop
which is on exhibition at this
office. From one grain of wheat
over forty stalks have grown to
maturity with well filled heads
many of these stalks have attain
ed a height of five and one-half
feet. And, yet people who have
crossed Arizona on the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe Railroads
do not know that Arizona can
sprout wheat. The irrigated
valleys and mines are what we
boast of, but one does not see
either by passing through Ari-
zona on either of the above named
Transcontinental roads.
