ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF CONSPIRACY

As result Of a mix-up in the Re-
sort saloon at Pocatello last Tuesday
night, J. H. Massey Earl Haggerty
and Henry SchriDer of this city, We're
arrested yesterday on the charge of
conspiracy in causing the disappear
ance of Fay Wilson and VIM. Par
mum, the two men who some time
ago swore to complaints charging the
above named defendants, with 9TH
ers, with violating the local option
law.
1t seems that Mr.. Massey, who was
in Pocatello last Tuesday night, ran
onto to Wilson and Paruum in the
Resort saloon there and Immediately
engaged in an alteration with
them, during which Massey appealed
to bystanders to assist him in run
ming the men out of town. This
brought on a disturbance and the
proprietor of the place summoned
the deputy sheriff, who arrived at the
scene in time to rescue the two men
from rather rough treatment.
Sheriff Bulge of this county, was
Immediately notified of the affair and
went to Pocatello by the first train,
secured Wilson and Parnum and re-
turned here with the men yesterday.
They accordingly swore to COMPLAINTS
charging that Massey, Haggerty and
Schriber provided them with money
with which to purchase tickets to
Kansas City and warned them never
to return to Montpelier.
The men claim that upon arriving
at Kansas City they at once wrote
Sheriff Bulge and advised him of
what had been done and expressed a
willingness to return any time that
he so desired. They have ever since
kept in communication with the
sheriff, so we understand.
Information was filed against Earl
Haggerty, Massey and Schriber on
two counts-that of conspiracy in the
case of Elmo Haggerty and }. H.
Massey. When taken before Judge
Grimmett at Paris yesterday the de-
PENDANTS were placed under $1,000
bond in each case for their appear
ance at preliminary trial next Tues
day. Bonds were promptly furn-
ished.
Later in the day warrants of arrest
were served upon DeMeade Austin
and Charlie Hager, charging them

with completely in the conspiracy of
Wilson and Parnum.
Attorney III. V. A. Ferguson of
Pocatello, has been employed by the
county to prosecute the cases and the
defendants have retained J. A Bag
ley as their attorney.
1t is anticipated that some very
racey testimony win be brought out
by the prosecution at the preliminary
hearing next Thursday.

FLOWING WELLS Of

valley, where he had been interested
in a farming enterprise for a short
time, Sigh rode down to San Simon
one day and thought conditions IA
vorable for artesian water, and de-
cided to put down well. He started
the well with what money he could
command. After drilling for a while
and practically exhausting all OF his
resources. he endeavored to interest
in the proposition l. Grant Duncan, son
of Capt. John A. Duncan a ST. Joseph.
No. capitalist and mining man who
was operating at the time in the Para
disc mining district, % miles south
west CT San Simon. Fortunately, about
this time report came that an artesian
well had been obtained eight miles
west, by the Arizona Marble company.
Sigh and Duncan saw a small flow OF
water at a reported depth Of 500 feet
On the strength of this sight, Duncan
was persuaded to invest in the enter
prise, and In the next so feet, at a
depth Of SIS feet the first flow was
encountered in what is still the largest
flowing well in the valley. Without
Duncan's financial aid. it would have
been necessary to abandon the we'll
and the project would doubtless have
been a failure.
HOmeseekers Flock In.
The news was spread by the people
of San Simon and nearby points, In
Guiding Paradise and Portal, the event
securing but little newspaper publi-
city. And, as the land of the valley
was government land subject to entry
at small cost, homeseekers came pour

Texas. New Mexico. Oklahoma and
Arizona. though sections of the coun-
try more remote are represented from
Maine to California, and from North
Dakota and Illinois to Sonora, Mexico.
An unusually large percentage of
those who invested here are men of
means, and that is the reason why it
is believed that development here in
an agricultural way will be more rapid
than is ordinarily to- be expected in
cases of this kind.
Five Other Wells Going Down.
This was exemplified by the fact that
soon the drilling of five other wells
was authorized. including a new one

in in February. 1911.

of the depot at San Simon about 40
feet from the s. P. railroad track. be-
ing thus in plain sight of passing
trains. The next one was brought in
by H. o. Carr, q we'll driller who came
here from Benson. This IS about three
and one-haf miles from San Simon. in
a southwesterly direction. and the date
of its bringing in was June 6. 1911.
Then came the we'll OF the Globe
Water & Irrigation company. three and
one-half miles north of San Simon.
July 2, 1911 The exact flow of the

is believed. to be $50 or 200 gallons to
the minute, and the depth of the well

is given as $50 feet. The Carr has a
depth of about $50 feet, and the Globe
$50 feet, is delivering Is gallons per
minute; San Simon town thus has two
flowing wells of commercial value
The second Duncan-Sligh well is now
1850 feet deep and a flow is expected
at any moment. 1t is situated about
half a mile south OF town.

Description of the Valley.
The San Simon valley is about 100
miles long. extending from the Animas
divide, n. NJ, and from the divide
between Rodeo, N NJ. and Douglas,
north and west to Solomonville and
Stafford, the elevation being lower as
you go north. For the most part 1t
averages, probably, 10 or 20 miles in
width. It is bounded on the west by
the Chiricahua mountains. elevation
10000 feet, and the Graham mountains.
II 900 feet. both of which are, Of course,
heavily timbered over a large area.
The Piloncillo mountains. which par
allel it all the way on the east. and
are probably not over 5000 or 1000 feet
high, are not timbered. The San Simon
valley, elevation here $500 feet, is the
lowest valley between FL Paso and
Benson, and is, in fact, lower than
FL Paso itself In this connection 1t
may also be interesting to note that
the average elevation of the wells in
the Roswell flowing area Of the Pecos
valley, n. NJ, is also $500 feet, accord
ing to government statistics.
The soil is rich. sandy loan. con-
tanning but littl alkali. and in many
portions of the valley. practically none.
The land is ideally situated for irri-
CATION purposes. and is easily cleared.
1t will raise practically anything. but
is believed to be especially adapted TO
the raising Of fruit.
Water Is Warm.
The water is soft and sweet. that, OF
