DIED.

The relatives and friends of
Mrs. Mary Arhelger were pain
fully shocked last Friday to learn
of her death from heart trouble
at Santa Rita, N. NJ, where she
went a couple of weeks ago. So
sudden was i1erillness and demise
that the end had come before the
relatives were notified.
Mrs. Arhelger (nee Dunnigany
grew to Womanhood in Duncan,
where her parents formerly resid-
ed and had many friends here.
She was a sister of Mrs. Joe
McAlister of this place. At the
time of her death she was about
26 years of age. She leaves
two childrens to survive her.
Her remains were brought to
Duncan for burial and were fol-
lowed to the cemetery by a host
of sorrowing friends and relati-
yes. Rev. j. w. Akers conduct

Government Crop Report
Not Encouraging

A tremendous decline in the
crops generally throughout the
country and traceable to drought
and intense heat, occurred during
last month, as indicated by offici-
al figures and estimates in the
monthly crop report of the de-
partment of agriculture.
The report is the worst, as to
general crop conditions that the
department has issued for any
single month since 1901. The
area most, seriously affected ex-
tends from New York and Penn
sylvania westward to the Rocky
Mountains, embracing all the
great corn, wheat and hay pro-
ducing states in the country.
In the southern states with the
exception of Virginia and North
Carolina, ample rains serve to
maintain generally favorable con-
ditions. These conditions thus
far continue to be favorable.
Conditions in the Pacific north
west are regarded as excellent,
although during July that terri
tory suffered from a brief but
excessively hot period.

New Text Books For Our
Public Schools

At a recent meeting of the
Territorial Board of Education,
held in Phoenix, an entirely new
set of text books for use in the
public schools of Arizona,
was adopted. This action was
taken by authority of the law
which permits the Territorial
Board to change the text books
once every four years. This &C.
ton, however, will entail a great
expense upon the parents of
children throughout the territory
as every child of school age will
require a complete new set of
books when the school term of
1911 commences.

Thomas J. Neese

Thomas j. Neese died at his
home in Stockton Pass Tuesday,
after an illness of several years.
Death was due to paralysis. The
body was brought to Solomon
vile, where it was inferred on
Wednesday.
Thomas Jefferson Neese was
native of Peru, Ind, but went
to Missouri when young man.
He was in the confederate service
for five years, being a member
of Company H. 1st Missouri
Cavalry.
After the war he came west
and was one of the early pioneers
of this valley, coming here in
1875, and is well-known by many
old timers, especially those who
were here during the military
Gays OF TT. Thomas. 1t was dur
ing that time that the mercantile
firm of Neese & Voelckel did an
immense business at Ft. Thomas.
Since coming to this county he
has held several public positions,
at one time being county treasur-
er.
Mr.. Neese leaves no family,
his wife having died one year
after their marriage in 1872. He
never remarked. He leaves two
brothers IN the valley, w. C.
Neese, of Stafford, and Frank
Neese of Solomonville. Two other
brothers and one sister live in
the East.

Work to Be Resumed on San
Diego and Arizona Road.

From San Diego comes the well
come news that, beginning with
September, active construction
of the San Diego & Arizona rail-
road is to be resumed and pushed
with all vigor to completion.
Construction of this line began
some two years ago, the project
then being under control of the
Spreckles interests. Work pro-
gressed slowly, for some reason,
and finally the enterprise was
taken over by the Southern Pa
clfic company. For some distance
the route,is through the northern
edge of Mexico Lower Califor-
MAJ and possibly the outbreak of
the Mexican revolution last fall
had something to do with delay
ing construction.
The projected line is of great
Importance to Arizona, and es-
pecially to the Salt River Valley,
as the eastern terminus is Yuma.
With the completion of the Ari-
ZOna Eastern from Phoanix tn
Yuma = this line is already under
operation to the Hassayampa riv-
er, fifty miles westerly from
Phoenix the line from San Diego
to Yuma will give Phoenix a di-
rect Southern Pacific route to
San Diego. This direct line to
the finest harbor on the coast
will be of extraordinary import
ance to central Arizona as soon
as the Panama Canal is finished.
A significant feature of the re-
sumption of construction of the
San Diego & Arizona railway is
the evidence thus furnished as
to the larger plans of the South
ern Pacific company in respect
of the new Through line" across
Arizona. Presumably the South
ern Pacific interests would not
go to the heavy expense of build
ing from San Diego to Yuma un-
less with the intention of carry
ing out the greater project of a
level line up the Gila river via
Phoenix to Lordsburg, New
MeXico-the Arizona Eastern
project. Apparently the South
ern Pacific people are confident
that the secretary Of the interior
will decide in favor of the rail-
way company in the controversy
over the Gila canyon right of
way.
The eastern branch of the Ari-
zona Eastern is in operation for
one hundred miles east from
Phoenix, and the continuation of
line from it's present terminus to
Lordsburg, on the present main
line of the Southern Pacific, only
awaits permission to go through
the Gila Canyon, according to
the railway officials. Arizona

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY
Jealous Lover Murders Two WO.
men at MetcaIf, Then Com.
mitS Suicide.


A gruesome tragedy occurred
at Metcalf about ten o'clock a. m.
August 9Th, when Gregorio Villa
real shot two women down in cold
blood while they were walking on
the street, and then, hurrying
back into his house sent bullet
through his own head in an at
tempt to commit suicide.
Deputy Sheriff Arnett and G.
NJ. Harris were among the first
to reach the scene of the muir
der. There they found the two
women lying in the trail where
they had fallen. Anna Estrada,
who had her baby in her arms
when she was shot, lay with her
limbs doubled under her, face
downward, having neither moved
nor spoken after the bullet that
ended her life crashed through
the brain. Her mother, Susana
Sanchez (knoWn also as Yepez)
was still conscious at the time
the officers arrived and did not
have the appearance of having
been fatally wounded. She was
removed to the emergency hospi-
tai and later to the Shannon hos
pital at Clifton, where she died
late that night.
The man who committed the
double crime was found lying on
a cot in his room with a bullet
hole in his temple and a 38-cali-
bre Smith & Weston revolver by
his side, still alive but uncon-
scious.
The motive for the crime is
believed to have been jealousy.
Villareal had lived with the girl
he killed for the past two years.
She left him about two months
ago and went to live with her
mother. After trying in vain to
persuade her to come back to
him he left the country, sup
posedly for Old Mexico, bu
turned back from Lordsburg with
the avowed purpose of killing
both women. He believed that
the girls mother had influenced
her.
On the morning of the killing
he had gone to the home where
the mother and girl resided and
had tried to effect a reconciliation
but was unsuccessful.
Mrs. Sanches, or Yepez, was
the mother of three daughters,
all of whom have met violent
death. Both of her older daugh-
ters were murdered by their
husbands. Annals husband is
now serving a term for trying to
kill her about three years ago.
The father was murdered several
years ago, this making five vio-
lent deaths in one family. Era.

THE DEATH ROLL
Two Pioneers Of the GiIa Valley
Answer the Reaper'S Call.


Mr.. Petar Anderson, a highly
respected citizen of Graham
county and one of it's early pi-
oneers, died suddenly at his home
in Stafford from an attack Of
acute indigestion, after an illness
of only few hours. From the
Guardian we learn the following
particulars:
Mr.. Anderson arrived at the
Olney Hardware Co.'s store, of
which he is part owner, shortly
before 800 o'clock, and complain
ed of feeling i'll. DR.. Warner
was summoned and found that
Mr.. Andarron was suffering from
an attack of acute indigestion.
Under his orders Mr.. Anderson
was taken to his home on the
ThatchersDrive, where the doc
tor still attended him. About
1O:45 he asked to be moved to
the library where he was placed
on a couch. A few minutes later
he passed away.
Mr.. Anderson was born in Nor
way, September 16, 1852, and
was So years of age at the time
of his death. He came to Ameri-
ca when quite young man and
settled in North Dakota. Later
he went to Minnesota, where he
married Miss Isabel Handy.
About 1878 they came to the
Gila Valley and Mr.. Anderson
took up the homestead where he
lived at the time of his death.
This property he developed into
one of the finest ranches in the
Gila Valley.
Mrs. Anderson died July 20,
1903. Two years ago Mr.. Andar-
son was married to Miss Ruth
Wilson, of Globe, who survives
him.
Mr.. Anderson was fine type
of manhood, generous and phi
lanthropic. During his first wife's
life having no children of their
own, they raised and educated
three orphan girls, all of whom
are happily married.
He always took an active in
terest in the upbuilding of the
valley, and at different times was
a stockholder and promoter of
many enterprises, comprising
stock raising, farming and min
ing, and recently being one of
the principal stockholders of the
Bowie Land Improvement Co.
For many years he was president
of the Union Irrigation and
Canal Co.

A boy went to town and entered

up here for?" asked the town boy.
"You don't have to be educated
like the rest of us.

lad, "some people think we should
live on timothy hay and branch
water, but occasionally one of us
will break out"
A certain man was heard to op.
pose rural free delivery and object
ed to the farmer being subscriber
to a daily, because, he said it made
him lose sometimes as much as an
hour at noon from his work.
The sooner the fool killer gets
busy, puts an inglorious end to
just such characters as illustrated
by the two above quoted instances
the sooner the rural districts will
become prosperous, and the farm
will become an ideal habitation for
man. Brains and intellect are ust
