WITH FISTS LEADS ID AN
 ASSAULT
CFrom Tuesdays Daily)

Yesterday was an unfavorable one for the peace and quiet of this eoun- ty, and three criminal cases were re- corded, some of which were of a violent nature. They started at Ash Fork, when A. H. Garten, and a man whose name was not learned, entered into a general fight with their fists. Garten, it is alleged, threatened to take the life of his opponent, later, and in turn the unknown secured a piece of iron, which he used effect ively on the head of Garten, infliet- ing wounds that are believed to be fatal. The case called for the ap- pearanee of District Attorney H. D. Ross, and he left for that place yes terday afternoon, to make an investi- gation. The assailant was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Bartlett, and will be brought to the city today.
 Later in the day, in Prescott, Deputy Sheriff Joe Young arrested Joe Toeei, for having in his possess ion gun. Tocei attempted to use this weapon on James Casoli, and had not friends of the latter interfered the belief is that shooting serape would have followed. TOeei is be- lieved to be insane, and pending an  examination Judge MeLane has de- ferred trying nim.
 Nora Adams, one of the habitues of the redlight district, created con sternation yesterday afternoon by her bOisterous language and unseemly ap- pearance. She was arrested later and taken before Judge MeLane, who imposed a fine of $25 or as many days in the county jail.

WEIRD FANTASY OF AN INSANE
 STRANGER

An unknown man was lodged in the county jail, yesterday afternoon, by Under Sheriff C. NJ. Raible and Deputy Joe Young, who is passing through the most peculiar type of insanity that has ever been known in this section. His hallueination is that he is being burned to death by wireless telegrapny, and in his mad ress he appears to be cool and col lected, his demeanor being so earnest and presumably SD convincing that he talks in a reasonable strain, and feels relieved that he is in custody, out of harm. He was found asleep early in the afternoon, in Dr. R. N. Looney's office, and when awakened was startled at being disturbed. He states that he escaped from a pit in the mOuntains up north, during a temporary lull in the workings of the apparatus, and the current has been unable to connect him up since He showed a hole in his coat. which he said had been ignited while he was on the run down the mountain side, and relates other weird tales of his unhappy lot.
 He viii nave an examination to- day before Probate Judge Hicks. Who he is or where he came from cannot be learned.

ARIZONA CATTLE BRING HIGH
 PRICES

Almost any old price is now being paid for good beef cattle. California buyers overrun Arizona and scores of car loads have been shipped both east and west since the winter be- gan. The demand for beef cattle is greater than ever before and not all the buyers insist that the stock they purchase be ready for the slaughter ing pens. Range stock is in good demand also.
 There was a time when four cents pound was an extraordinary price for prime beef on the hoof. The grower who held his beef for four cents was running great chances of loss, for frequently the price did not go that high at all. Now it is a pretty poor steer that will not bring four cents a pound. Five cents is nearer the average price and six is not unknown. Cows have gone up with the steer and often sell above four, although a few years ago two and a half cents a pound was pretty good for a COW.
 Cattlemen say that this year Cali fornia stock buyers are endeavoring to get as many yearlings, two-year- old and three-year-old steers as pos sible. The prices now quoted for steers right off the range is SIS for yearlings, $21 for two-year-Olds and S24 for threes. Cattle fattened on alfalfa are usually sold by the pound, but often a price per head is fixed for range stock and the animals are not weighed at all.
 The prices quoted above are said to be the best ever offered in Ari- zona for range cattle.
 Yearlings are preferred, but are rather scarce. Most of the market able cattle are sold in the early fall, but the top prices now offered are in dueing many growers to comb their ranges for animals that can be ''turned'' at a profit.
 In the early days of Arizona few steers were sold until they were four, five or even six years old. Then the stockmen learned that a steer has about reached his full growth at three years and makes better meat than he does later on. By and by the more progressive began to discern that there wasn't enough difference between a two-year-old and three year-old to warrant holding and feed ing the extra twelve. months. Now the buyers want yearlings, and pay only $6 less for a calf that is a year. old than they pay for a three-year- old
 The tendency is to sell younger cattle and this tendency has had its effect on the productive capacity of the ranges. It takes more feed for one three-year-old than for three yearlings Therefore, many stoekmen are increasing the number of their cows and are selling their steers at the end of the first year. Their profits are swelling because of the increasing price of cattle.

Old Wagon Over Country
For Years

Pierre, Jan. 23.-In the Potter
county court, Augusta Matilda Hen
bricks and William Hendricks, her
son were both declared to be insane
and taken to the asylum at Yankton.
These people have been wandering
over South Dakota for years, driv-
ing a delapidated wagon DRAM by
a couple of COWS, and have always
been looking for a location at some
other, point, than the n at which
they we're. While considered as
peculiar" they have never been
. classed as insane until now. The
mother has always had an aversin
to having pictures taken of their
outfit, and while IN this city last
summer drew a revolver and threat
ened a photographer who was at
tempting TO secure views: 1t seems
that they located in a deserted farm
shanty near Gettysburg for the win
ter, and began threatening people
who approached the place where
they were camped. They also
threatened to shoot the stock of
others in their neighborhood, and
begun to carry out their threats in
this line, which resulted in their ar
rest and examination on insanity
charges. The outfit has been a fam
liar one to South Dakota for sever
al years, as they wandered about
from place to place.

OF INTEREST
TO FARMERS
Some Valuable Hints and In
formation Taken From
Farm Papers
The Motor Car

The motor car has brought the
farmer better roads. Whenever a
farmer loads his wagon or auto
mobile, he has in mind the worst
part of the road over which he has
to go, whether that be one or FIVE
or six hundred feet long, or has a
hundred miles of good road on each
end. He knows that its worst hill
or mudhole limits the size of the
load he can have. Because this is
Sd, every bit of road in his state
should be made SO good that no
mudholes, no steep grades, no
worst spots" will be left to limit
the load to less than ear be without
difficulty, hauled the entire length
of the system of improved roads.
There should be no breaks in this
chain; no interruption in these great
arteries through which flows the
industrial life of a state.
Good road building has received a
wonderful impetus since the advent
of the motor car and no one has
been be lefited more than the
farmer.
The automobile has made agricul-
tural life worth living. 1t has
brought the country nearer the
city. 1t has increased the value of
farm lands because they can be
reached more readilythan prior to
the advent ofthe automobile. Il is
keeping the boys on the farm and
statistics show that there is a much
smaller migration to the city by
farmers sons than there was before
the automobile was a fixture in
farm life.

Corn Farming In Iowa

Wallact'S Farmer (lowa)-Corn
seems to be selling at the average
country stations in the corn belt
around 80 cents; in Nebraska 81 and
SO, in Illinois a little higher. This
has been Il great disappoint to many
farmers, especially to tenants who
r paying cash rent, or, if paying
share rent, require the proceeds to
square up their accounts.
The trouble is that corn has
been produced with high
priced labor and high-priced
living, on high-prIced land, and on
many farms the yield has been
somewhat disappointing. Many ten
ants are moving in the next fifty
days either to a new country or to
other farms, and are compelled
to sell. Hence there is not likely to
be much advance before March LIST,
when this moving is over. Mean
while, the corn will have lost nearly
ten per cent of its moisture, and
will be sold or held at a loss unless
prices advance proportionately.
The burden of this low-priced corn
falls with special weight on those
least able to bear it, the tenant far.
mers, who operate from forty to
fifty per cent of the farms in the
corn belt.
There is another side to thirty

been relatively higher than livestock

to sell the corn than to feed it, un-
less farmer were prepared to feed

has been a marked decrease in the
numbers of livestock of all kinds.

quite as high relatively as finished
cattle and are today. Cattle feed
ers who have sold finished cattle fed
on fifty cent corn for less than a
cent and a half advance on the orig
inaI weight have been quite as hard
hit as tenant farmers. The high
prices Of corn and Young cattle have
encouraged landlords and farmers
who till their own farms to sell corn
rather than feed it, have encouraged
also the blowing up of pastures and
meadows, and have been a marked
