|. FLAG pay EPISODE.

A FLAG DAY EPISODE.
(By W. W. Bridgers, Remembering
Henry Borcherding.)
When I walked down the street that
Ny heaff heaved of sudden with
keenest pride,
And my step was thrice sunbareened.'
For my country's flag was flying far
and wide
From the top Of the tallest building IT
flew;
Against the sky the glorious colors
seemed Ito climb;
From house to house. from pole TO pole.
The Stars and Stripes exalted in a
glory sublime.
Seemed to me the flag was everywhere;
And I hurried on with eager strike
till at last
I saw-lol flagless pole. forgotten.
Shoro Of its glory, a seeming relic OF
the past.
All, but my thoughts saddened as they
ran back
To the days of yore when Old Glory
never failed to fly
Above that spot where oft Old Henry
swore
Inc LAS SHOOAu never 1a1i 10 IlutLer
haughty and high.
Old Henry-you remember him, OF
And his flag pole-a hundred feet
from ground to top
You remember how he hoisted the
pole
How he planted It amid huzzas not
far from the shopi
The shop-well friend. you know where
That busy place down In the railroad
yards,
Down where Henry used to boss the
And shout to them his peculiar vol
canic regards.
Henry had his faults. Of course.
But he had also his virtues, and
patriotism, toe,
And he had way of swearing at things
And of doing some things even as
patriots do.
Yes. Henry had way of bossing
OF slashing right and left and up and
OF shouting orders and hurrying things
along,
And men did say there was thunder
in his frown.
But Henry had his loves for all of that.
And be loved the flag with pat
8 riots heart.
And Henry, Old Henry, If you please.
Was never known TO shirk a patriots
part.
And Old Henry had a way Of his own.
And never did Flag Day pass that any
man dared forget
That the colors had to be run to the
top,
And the colors were there while
Henry was there, you bet.

WELLS FARGO MAN
MAKES HIS ESCAPE
Held in Mazatlan, Released,
Recaptured, Released
Again.

Douglas. Ariz, June 1.-THE drama
Of captor captured was enacted after
the taking of Mazatlan. according to
adyices received at the local office Of
the Wells Fargo Express company. A
w Hawkins, accused of the theft of
$4,000 from the company several
months ago, after being released from
tured by a special company agent,
then, with the aid Of passersby, turned
the tables, secured the mans revolver
and made his escape. A reward has
been offered by the company for his
apprehension.
Hawkins, who formerly resided in
Douglas and Ell Paso and was sss.tter
known as "Blondy," than by his real
cognomen, was on the Nogales- Her
mosillo run as an express messenger.
Several months ago an express pack
age containing $50, 900 in currency for
the Bank of Hermosillo was placed
in his care at Nogales. Somewhere
between the two places the safe was
opened, the money taken, the safe
locked again and the key broken off
in the lock. When the safe was re-
ceived in Hermosillo, Hawkins is said
to have explained that the key had
become damned in the lock and had
been broken in an effort to extricate
It. While endeavors to pick the lock
were under way he left Hermosillo.
Several days later he was apprehended
by officers and the money recovered
and he was awaiting trial in the Ma
zatlan Jail when the attack on that
city was made.
One of the first acts of the success
frr1 hal RI he of
the jail, releasing Hawkins and large
number of fellow prisoners For but
g short time did the alleged safe rob-
Der enjoy his liberty. A former guard
in the employ of the express company
had been employed by the concern to
prevent the escape Of the young man
in a contingency of this kind. Hardly
had Hawkins stepped from the jail
door when this man, a Mexican,
stepped UP, and with leveled revolver
demanded his surrender.
Hawkins was unwilling to go tame
ly back into captivity and put up a
hard fight with his fists, but to no
avail The Mexican. a much larger and
stronger man. soon had him PROSTATE
and was sitting upon his chest with
the revolver within few inches Of
his nose, when insurrectos in the
crowd which had gathered, interfered
The guard, feeling the cold muzzle Of
a revolver pressed to his neck, arose
and when commanded to do so.
dropped his revolver. Hawkins picked
up the gun, thanked his rescuers and
walked out of the knowledge of men
completely.
Upon learning of the escape of the
former messenger the Wells Fargo
company offered a large reward for his
recapture. A circular to this effect
was received here today while private
adyices in a letter give full details of
his escape 1t is believed the letter
states, that Hawkins has gonS to
South America.

CROP CONDITION rs
ABOVE THE AVERAGE
Feature Of the Week Was
the Breaking of the
Drouth.

Austin, eTexas. June 17.-With the
exception of corn, general crop condi-
tions in Texas at this time are above
the average. While in some sections
the drouth is serious, there are other
parts of the agricultural territory OF
the state where the shortage of rainfall
Is as yet causing comparatively little
damage to the crops. In the more
southern portions the corn crop Is too
far advanced to be benefited to any
great extent by the recent rains.
In the extreme lower parts of south
Texas the oropewas made Before the
spell of dry weather set IN and the
crop there will be above the average In
production. Hot, dry Winds during the
first few days of the past week were
of blighting effect upon corn in the
upper regions Of the state, and 1t Is
feared that much of the acreage is past
redemption despite the rain.
Rain In Extreme West.
One of the features of the week Was
the heavy rainfall in the extreme west
ern part Of the state. This preciptta-
ton did not reach the agricultural ter
ritory and its benefits are largely lost
on that account. The moisture will re-.
vive the grass. however, and do much
good to grazing interests as well as
to such crops as are growing in small,
scattered localities In the favored re-
gions.
Two First Bales.
The cotton picking season may be
said to have opened with the market
ing Of the first. bale. There We're two
first bales this season One was
shipped from San Benito, in the lower
Rio Grande valley. and the other from
Rivera, in the Gulf coast territory
about $50 miles above San Benito. Al
though these two bales have gone to
market, it will be some little time
before picking becomes general. even
in south Texas
The complaint of labor shortage that
came from different localities of the
cotton belt earlier in the season has
been relieved to a great extent during
the last several days by the importa-
ton of hundreds Of Mexican laborers
to the plantations from the Rio Grande
border territory. Difficulty was expe-
rienced IN getting these men TO go TO
interior parts Of the state as iaborers
while the revolution in Mexico was in
progress, but now that the political
troubles in that country are ended the
border Mexicans are willing to go to
work in the cotton fields.
Good Wheat Reports.
Good reports of the wheat produc-
ton in north Texas and the Panhan-
die region continue TO be received here,
the shortage OF that
crop. Threshing has been in progress
for about two weeks and it is stated
that the average yield of the grain per
acre is exceeding earlier expectations
The production will exceed 5000. 600
bushels. The oat harvest is also prov
ing that the reports OF a destruction of
the crop by rust were greatly exagger-
ated-
The drouth has caused the tomato
crop much damage and the shipments
Of that product will be considerably be-
low earlier expectations Most Of the
new potato crop is now marketed. The
production was. satisfactory.

STRIKE GOLD AND
SILVER ORE VEIN

Las Cruces, n. ", June 1.-THE Az
tee Copper company, which is working
several claims adjoining the Modoc
mine in the Organ mountain mining
district, has struck a vein OF ore which
carries high grade silver and gold ore,
together with lead and copper. This
is remarkable, from the fact that the
Modoc vicinity has been a strictly
lead proposition heretofore.
The Aztec people have been sinking
a shaft on a streak of ore which aver
ages IA inches in width, and the as
says show II percent Of lead, 10 per-
cent copper, As ounces Of silver and
s1.50 gold. Word is being pushed on
the shaft in order to uncover as much
as possible of the pay streak.

TAKES OPTION ON TAILINGs
DUMP OF COMMONWEALTH

An illustration of what remarkable
values lie in the oftirnes considered
worthless waste dumps of a mine is
forcibly illustrated by the report of a
mining deal which comes from PeaFce,
Cochise county, Arizona, according to
w. D. Kinsey, the mining man of Globe,
who examined the large failing dumps
of the Commonwealth mine He be-
came impressed with the fact that the
dumps might be made available for
converter lining for smelters as a sub
stitute for silica A series Of tests fol-
lowed and later an option was secured
on the tailings dumps, variously esti-
mated to contain from $50 900 to 1,00O,-
600 tons. Mr.. Kinsey estimates that
his option will net him from $4,000 to
$4,000

No father was ever so low, or de-
