LIVE CHA MONSTER.

That Arizona is stin new and strange and interesting is shown by the exhibition here Of a live Gsla monster, now on exhibition at the place of business of Bendele & Hale. It was caught by John Cameron, a ranchar and bowman who lives on a ranch at Indian Springs, a short distance west of San Simon. Cam erOp slipped a rope moose around the animal while he held it down on the ground at a safe distance with his branding iron, and thus brought Mir. Monster to town.
 The animal is about medium size, perhaps 20 inches in length and eight inches in diameter around the body, though these figures are not guaran- teed, for the ATtesian Belt man was no more willing than anyone else to get close enough to take any meas urementS
 The bite or the Glia monster is said to be fatal and its breath poisonous The animal is a hideous looking spec imen Of the lizard family, the hides extremely tough. Its home is on the desert The Gila monster IS rapidly becoming extinct. though but few years ago there were many of them -Artesian Belt.

AUTOMOBILES HELP
 THE WESTERN FARMER
Boston Man Pleased With Crop Outlook and Eyi-
 dence of Prosperity

BOSTON. June 26.-One of Bos- tons keenest business men, recently returned from an extensive trip through the west. says:
 The western crops never looked better than al the present moment If a person wants to drink in optimism in good copious draushts let him 'rev- el through the corn belt. Out -hsre the harvest bids fair to excel last years bumper crop. The long-continued cry weather was beneficial rather than otherwise as the farmers were enabled to carry cultivation to the limit. The rains Of the last few days have fol lowind in proper sequence so that with corn the farmers have no kick In Iowa I never saw better prospects and Iowa is the banner corn state. Ne braska's soaking was a God-send.
 ITO finance the harvest will be no easy task but the banks are in much stronger shape to handle it than a year ago. The speculative land craze. which manifested itself most strongly to the dismay of all eastern bankers last March has been gradually cor rected until the banks are well able to handle their commercial demands from home. Loans are being laid down and the acquisitive farming spirit stifled. What commercial paper is go ing is selling for between 40 per cent and 4a per cent with the bulk at the higher figure. The banks for the most part, however, refuse to loan over 90 days or four months in order to be in funds at crop moving time.

STEPS IN FRONT OF
 ENGINE; IS KILLED
Tragic Death of Tucson Mar in the Railroad Yards
 Sunday Night

TUCSON. June 2e.-Franciseo Con zales. a Mexican. was killed ir the s. P. yards early last night oy a switch engine He was supposedly drunk or he would have heard the bell ringing and stayed out of the way Of the engine.
 The switch engine had been on the main line and went onto the side track near the freight depot to got a flat car. The Mexican was nowhere in sight when the engine went il and it only stood for a few moments. The trainmen did not see him and think he must have come along by the side of the track in the shadow of the wall. The engine backed up aud he first thing that was known Of the accident was when the switchman gave the engineer the signal to stop and came running up to the engine with the news that they had run down a man as they were backing uo.
 The flat car and the engine had run completely over the man and he was in a dying condition when picked up. One leg was badly crashed and be was hurt internally His tody vas also cut and mashed through the waist. The ambulance was called and the man was taken 70 the hos pital. but died on the way there.
 The trainmen cannot give any cause for the accident as they did not see it and knew nothing of it until the mans body came out in front of the engine after having been dragged for some little distance. They think that he must have been drunk and in the shadow of the wall. for neither the engineer nor the fire nan saw him at all. There was a search light on the back of the engine and if a man had come out on tho track he would have been in full view. '. is believed he fell on the track and could not get up. The engine was nov ing rapidly at the time and the men cannot give any other solution 10 the problem.
 Nothing IS known Of the man other than his name. It is reported that he was working for a man by the name of Pogry, but this cannot be verified. The body was taken to the Reilly Undertaking paTlors

GUARDING THE TREASURES

The treasure chest of great ca thedral rivals that of a royal treasury in the magnifcence of the jewels if incloees. They are set. not in crowns or necklaces. but in altar utensils and in symbols. or sewn upon priceless vestmeuts which are used only upon special occasions. Like the crown jew els Of a nation. these often have a sentimental value as great as their monetary worth and they must be carefully guarded.
 The treasures of Saint Patrick's, the largest Roman Catholic church in New York City, are kept in crypt back of and beneath the altar The July number of Popular Mechanics describes them and explains how care fully they are guarded.
