Roxs Destroy Lawn

The wanton mischief of a number or young boys is causing the city officials and Postmaster Lewis considerable an- noyance. For some time past Dr. Lewis has been beautifying the grounds about the government building and has sue ceeded in growing a fine lawn. The boys persist in using, or rather abusing the ground, and have literally destroyed it's beauty. As this is government property Dr. Lewis proposes to stop further depre- dations and will institute proceedings that may involve the parents of the boys.

BUICK AND FORD
 MAY RACE TO PHOENIX
CFrom Sundays Daily)


 As resident agents of the Ford automobile, but in no manner in- terested in the recent discussion of a race between a machine of that make and the Buick, the Hill Hard ware Company of this city yesterday received from Charles Hendy. Jr., manager of the Denver house, what is practically an acceptance of the challenge made a few weeks ago to race both machines between Pres colt and Phoenix, for a purse of $2,OOO Or more if desired. Preceding the letter at hand, a telegram from MT. Hendy earlier in the week out lined his desire to have the contest pulled off. MT. Hendy says:
 Uniform the parties that We have the challenge and just as soon as matters can be arranged, we will come to Prescott and made the run. ]"
 Other petitions are mentioned in the correspondence of an incidental nature, all indicating a desire for the race, and as stated by MT. Hen dy, while in the city. Al. Weber, owner of the Buick, with friends, has authorized an acceptance of Mir Hendy's offer to be given publicity, announced in the Journal Miner when the subject was first mentioned, and which position will be maintained. Mir. Weber stated yesterday:
 In view of the early closing of negotiations for the contest the ques- tion of route will be an important feature MT. Hendy specifically men tioned the Black Canyon route. This will be a barrier if he persists. That roadway is reported to be absolutely impossible for at least three miles, since the storms of three weeks ago. During the present week additional damage has followed from the same sources, and it is closed to transpor- tation of any other character than horseback. Furthermore, the damaged road will not be repaired, entailing as it would, heavy expense, the county authorities not caring to un- dertake the task at this time.
 If the race is run, the only avail able route will be through Wieken- burg, where a new strip has been built from that city to Hot Springs Junction, which Obviates the worst portion of the road from that point to Phoenix.

Camp Verde
 CORRESPONDENCE

CAMP VERDE, Ariz., Jan. 14. - The dOwnpour in this section and north of here the last forty-eight hours, has caused a ten foot rise in the Verde river. The bridge tubes were only filled to low water mark, the flood not moving them a par ticle, although there was about one hundred feet of false work, or scaf folding, anchored to them. The tubes rest on solid bedrock, one set twelve feet. and the other eighteen feet under the bed of the stream.
 J. C. Ryan, of the Territorial En- gineer Corps. said today the found ation is sufficient guarantee of the permanency of the bridge.
 George Haekensehmidt, superintend- ent of the Missouri Valley Bridge company, was. led to believe that the Verde river was small stream, and only brought hand pumps, which had no effect on the large opening for the abutments on each side. He was compelled to get a large pump and hire MT. Goddard to bring his big traction thresher engine to do the pumping.
 There, was a small loss of scaf- folding, otherwise no damage occur ed about the bridge.
 The Wales Arnold place sold yes terday for S9,5OO, and a half share in the New Verde ditch was disposed of for $l,5OO. Land with water rights is valuable here now and if the railroad is ever built to Verde Valley, land will double in value.

MEYERS PENITENT -l
 -.. BEGS FOR HIS FREEDOM
tFrOm Sundays Daily.)

tFrom Sundays Daily.)
 Filled with remOrse over his con- duet in receiving a considerable sum of money through forgery, R. Mey- CTS, at his preliminary examination, yesterday, before Judge MeLane, wept bitterly, and asked that he be permitted to make the amounts good, and allowed his freedom. He was bound over to the next grand jury under two charges, with $500 bail for each Offense, and taken to his cell to await further action when the District Court eonvenes in May.
 He is not only dejeeted in spirit, but penitent over his actions in this city, when he secured over s2OO from friends on the pretext that he had resources and was also to be with the Humboldt smelter in a respon- sible capacity when it resumed.
 From the day of his arrest in Louisiana, in December, to the time of his examination, yesterday, he has resOrted to many devices to escape punishment for his crime He has brought fraternal friends to his as- sistanee, and when he reached this city and faced the inevitable, cum ningly adopted various ruses to gain his freedom, his main object being to reimburse his victims for the money secured, which he states was obtained when he was not in his right mind.
 Meyers will be familiarly remeni- bered in this city when he was with the old smelter company at Humboldt when he became locally prominent as a swift manipulatOr of the mo- toreyele between Humboldt and Pres eott.
