 Florence Blade Tribune: J. W. Clemans of Tempe is here laying out the work cultivating his 1000 acre tract of land, which lies along the river at old Adamsville, four miles west at Florence. The greater portion of this rich bottom land was under cultivation when old Adamsville was mill town, sup plying the U. s. Army in Arizona with all the flour 1t consumed Since the decadence of Adamsville and destruction of the mill by fire, the land has been neglected and became covered in many places by d growth of mesquite trees. MT. Clemans, the new owner, is having the land cleared of this growth, and leveled up. He has had the old canal belonging to the land cleaned out and rebuilt from the intake to the land.
 Arizona Gazette: Frank $. West fall leaves Monday night for Okla homa in custody of Sheriff Murphy to face a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses in connection with the failure of a bank. Gov ernor Sloan yesterday granted a acquisition from the governor of Oklahoma for the return of Frank $. Westfall. J. B. Westfall, who faces similar charge, will not accompany his brother.
