 He realized, however, that the farmers of this favored section are
 severely handicapped through not having proper transportation facili- ties. but that this was a matter that tonnage, which might and should be produced along the lines mentioned, would undoubtedly attract such faci- lities.
 There are great dry farming possi- bilities. said the speaker. due to the great fertility of the soil; and, from his information, the amount of pre- cipitatiOn which falls thereabout dur ing the season. But, added the Doctor, to obtain the best results by sO-called dry farming methods in that section of the country, it is impera- tive that all the work should be in telligently performed; that no Chit or miss' methods will succeed; that euecess depends largely upon his con serving every drop of moisture that falls upon his land.
 He also held it of great importance that the seed should be adapted to the soil and climate in which it would be used and strongly advocated the use, in all cases, of seeds raised without irrigation, because of their greater vitality.
 On the road home, the dry farm of MT. Sellers and others were observed. The lands on these farms are being for future crops and pros poets seem bright.
 The Doctor, being a Westerner, recognized the importance of the farmer being able to haul the largest loads with the minimum of power and suggested that, if it were pos sible, the grades in and out of the valley should be lessened; that, by this means, the county seat, and Camp Verde would enjoy mutual trade advantages.

ALLEGED FoRGER
 IS DECLARED INSANE
(From Thursdays Dally.)

R. J. Myers, who was hcing held in
 the county jail in this city, to appear
 before the next grand jury on two charges of forgery, developed into a
 raving maniac about four days ago, and was taken to the insane asylum
 at Phoenix yesterday by Deputy
 Sheriffs C. C. Keeler and Joe Young
 Preceding his dementia associates in tine jail state that he was conducting
 himself in an cratic manner and without the least intimation that his mind was giving way, he assumed such a violent disposition as to create a panic. Several prisoners took the matter in hand, but it required the combined efforts of four of the strongest inmates to subdue him. He developed such strength that forcible methods were necessary to conquer him. Tuesday night he seemed to be at the height of his mental collapse, and five men were necessary to handle him.
 The unfortunate man was formerly with the old Humboldt shelter in the electrical department. At that time he became locally conspicuous as motoreyelist, making the trip from that point to Prescott in less than an hour. As meenanieian he was genius and after the plant suspended went to Portland, Oregon. He returned to Prescott a few months before the rebuilding of the works was started last year and secured sum by forging the names of two business men of this city and Humboldt. He left for Louisiana soon afterward, and was arrested near New Orleans later. After a sensational defense he was brought to Prescott, and in the hear ing acknowledged his guilt. He would have been tried next month.
 Myers was a convict and several years ago served a term in the San Quentin. Cal. penitentiary. A few lays ago he made the remark to fel- | ow prisoners that he could not bear lp much longer under the heavy burden and that the confinement was h:s mental powers. He presented a pitiable sight yesterday, md the opinion was expressed by many of his aequaintances that he is lot feigning insanity.

 IS CARVED BY RIVAL
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

Monday, along the Santa Fe rail road, was a day of general lawless- ness, three crimes being committed, two at Ash Fork, and one at Selig- man. At the latter place brutal and wanton attempt to take the life of Cruz Venzona was made by Pedro Flores. The latter entered the room of Venzona while he was asleep, arm ed with a large butcher knife, and inflicted wounds that are said to be serious. The victim was slashed across the face and body several times, and his arms were also cut.
 Venzona made gallant resistance, and with the loss of considerable blood managed to hold his assailant until Deputy Sheriff Frank Burnen appeared and took the offender away. The two men were enamored over the same senorita, and Venzona hay ing the favor of her affections, 50 enraged Flores that he attempted to take the life of hls rival. Flores was bound over to the grand jury and was brought to Prescott yesterday by Deputy BurnelI, and lodged in the county jail.
 Jose Ebro, who was shouting ve- hemently for Madero at Ash Fork, on Monday, and threatening to wipe out all gringo or greater sentiment to the contrary, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff F. F. Bartlett, while in the act of attacking several bystanders. Ebro is regarded IS a bad Mexicn and is considered dngerous when un- der the influence of liquor.

RICH ORE BODY IN GO JOHN
 PROPERTY

PHOENIX, Ariz., April I4-Samples Of ore carrying copper, gold and silver and worth $75 a ton after all ex- penses of transportation have been paid, were being shown about the court house this morning by W. T. Linville. The ore came from the property of the Go John Mining com pany, thirty miles due north of Phoe- nix.
 No more highly eolored ore was ever mined in such quantities as are found at the Go John property. It Is bright green. In some of it the metal shows shiny and black
 A 200foot tunnel has been driven into the mountain on the ledge. The ledge maintains its average width of about three feet along it's entire length. There is about one foot of extraordinary rich ore, but all the rock in the ledge is well worth min ing.
 Samples taken from the surface where the tunnel was started averag- ed 45 per cent copper, forty ounces in silver and $22 in gold. Other samples from the face of the tunnel run from 30 to 40 per cent copper, 30 ounces silver and SIP gold.
 There seems to be any quantity of the ore, and the owners are conf dent that they have a proposition that will make them rich as soon as they can make arrangements to, work it properly. H. H. Linville, a son of W. T. Linville; John Lewis and W F. Lewis are the members of the Go John company. They have held the several years, working it at various times when they had the time and funds to spare. At present they have about S4OO worth of ore on the dump.

DAN KOSHER HAS VERY EXCITING
 EXPERIENCE

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 13. Nc man ever came nearer being carved into small pieces, without receiving a scratch than did Patrolman Dan HOsmer in a sudden and sensational fight with a Mexican, which occurred in Portland place shortly after 12 O o'clock last night.
 Charles Class, who lives on Port land street, a few doors west of Central avenue, has been losing chick ems of late and employed Hosmer, who has beat as private residence watchman, to keep an eye on his place. It was while on his way to the Class residence that Hosmer en- countered the Mexican who did his best to end the officers life, probably hoping to escape detection.
 The Mexican was sitting in ditch when Hosmer approached and asked him what he was doing. Jumping to his feet, the Mexican replied that he was waiting for his partner. The fellow spoke English but in the. dark ness Hosmer could not see him very clearly.
 llOSLltl ndS dDOul lO dSh duOIhCA question when the Mexican made a lunge at him with a knife sitting Hosmer's left coat sleeve from should CT to wrist and even cutting through the watehman' glove.
 Quicker that lightning, the Mexican lunged again. This time he struck Hosmer's left shoulder, cutting an other gash in the coat. The third stroke cut through both folds of Hos mer's linen collar and the fourth cut the brim of the officers hat, right in front.
 The four lunges were made in an instant. Hosmer leaped backward and drew his revolver while the Mexican turned and fled westward through the trees of Portland place. Hosmer sent one bullet after the fleeing fig ure but the shot went wide of the mark. The fugitive disappeared al- most immediately and a short search convinced HOsmer of the futility of further search.
 HOsmer hurriedly took stock to make sure that he was all present and was amazed to find that the knife had not reached his skin.
 It is doubtful if Hosmer will recog nize the Mexican if he sees him again, although he believes he can do so. There is no doubt that his assail ant was one of the chicken thieves.
 Dan Hosmer will be pleasantly re- in Prescott as one of the genial clerks of the Bashford- -Burmis-
