 J. P. Gideon, deputy sheriff, Carl C.. Krook, assistant District Attorney, and Frank L. Hunt, Assessor, returned from a trip to the north part of Mohave county last Tuesday evening. They went in by way of Modena, on the Salt Lake road, to St. George, thence to Moccasin Springs, in the north part of the county, where a trial of horse stealing case was had. The defendant was found not guilty and turned loose by the justice. This is the first trial of criminal case in the north part of the county. Mir. Gideon says that he was much impressed with the country through which the party travelled from St. George to Moccasin and believes some day will see it covered by fertile farms and thousands of prosperous farmers. At MOccasin the people had beautiful garden we'll filled with all kinds of vegetables and varieties of melons. The watermelons were of un- usual size, some of them the largest they had ever seen.
 Kingman public school opened Mon day last with the largest attendance of children ever listed. The rooms are very much overcrowded and it will be necessary to either build a new school building or add a second story to the present structure. The crowded con- dition of the building and the small- ness of the school grounds makes a new school building and grounds a necessity. The trustees will have a meeting today to decide on some way of ameliOrating present conditions.
 I. NJ. George and J. N. Goodwin re- gently received 800 head of hereford cattle from New Mexico and took them to their range on the east side of Wallapai mountain, where a splendid range has been secured. The cattle arrived here in fine shape and will un- doubtedly do well on the heavy bunch grass and gramma that grows in that section.
