PRESCOTT CITIZEN
 DIfSAT FORT WORTH

News of the death of Dr. J. w. Baker, which occurred at Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday morn. ing at II o'clock was, received here yesterday morning.
 Dr. Baker had been in bad health for the past year and last month, accompanied by Mrs. Baker, he went to Mineral Wells, hoping to receive some benefit from the water there After re- maining there some time it was decided that an operation was necessary and he went to Fort Worth, Texas. where he was operated upon for cancer of the bladder. On account of his weak ened condition and the hold this disease had on his system the re. suit of tbe operation was fatal. Dr. Baker moved to Prescott several years ago from Hartford, Arkansas, and bought the Howell Drug Store and has since this time conducted the business un- der the name of The Rexall Store" He was licensed phy- sician, and practised medicine only short time, deciding to de- vote his entire time to his busi- ness.
 The deceased is-survived by his wife, three brothers Dr. CIR. Baker, of Huntsville, Ala.. and another M. A. Baker, of Shaw nee, Oklahoma, and there is an other brother living somewhere in Arkansas.
 Just before his death occurr- ed the doctor requested those with him to bury bis remains at Shawnee, which was done yes terday afternoon.
 At this time it is not known just what disposition will be made of tho business here.

COTTON ATTACKED
 BY GRASSnOPPERS

Little Rock, June g. For the first time in the knowledge of the Arkansas river valley cotton grower, his cotton has been at- tackled by the grasshopper, pest supposed to be the peculiar curse of the plains.
 Warden McCook of the state convict farm in Lincon County reports that two weeks ago a cloud of grasshoppers attacked the cotton on the buck shot land of the plantation and ate tn e plants clean as they went. The cotton was from 4 to 10 inches in height, and the hopper left only the bare stalks. They did not bother the cotton on the sandy land, which is considered remarkable by those familiar with the habits of the hopper Ion land where there is nothing but sand.
 The state has 3,200 acres in cotton and 800 acres in corn on the state farm, andit has been worked thoroughly by the 500 convicts who have been employ ed there during the crop making season. The warden on Satur- day brought up 103 of the men to work on the Reaves contract on the Iron Mountain road near Judsonia.

Camden, June 24.-Rumors of the discovery of natural gas near Camden has been af1oat for some weeks, and excitement reached fever heat today when it was learned that gas had been found near Lester, Ark, a small town six miles west of this city. One we'll has been sunk to a depth of twelve to fourteen hundred feet and gas is rushing from a two inch pipe and this having been lighted, is blazing high in the air over the well.
 Local capitalists, associated with representatives of the Cad do fields, it is said, have under taken the developement of the property. Options on adjacent tracts of land have been secured both by the promoters and other investors, and boom is expected when the discovery is published.
