TRYING TO MAKE DEAL
FOR STAVE TIMBER

Messrs. J. T. Outlaw and M. F.
Padgett are here representing the In
terstate Cooperage Co, of Dixon,
Tenn, and Chattanooga. They are
prospecting the Wallace mountain
lands, some acreage amounting into
the thousands, with a view to convert
the white oak timber into barrel
slaves. They have been here for some
time, and are making a very careful
survey of the timber In event they
should make deal with the owner,
through his agent, G. Slelman, of
this place, and place mill out on the
mountain from here, it would mean
employment to a large number of
men. A large number of wagons and
teams would also be used in hauling
in the slaves for shipment from here,
and teams would be at premium this
winter.

To Enlarge HOmesteads

Senator Ashurst has introduc- ed a bill to provide for an en. larged homestead entry in Arizona where sufficient water suitable for domestic purposes is not obtainable upon the lands, as follows:
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.
 That whenever the Secretary of the Interior shall find that any tract of land in the State of Arizona subject to entry under the act to provide for an enlarg- ed homestead, approved February 19, 1909, do not have upon them such a sufficient supply of water suitable for domestic purposes as would make continuous resi- dence upon the lands possible, he may. in his discretion; designate such tracts of land, not to ex- ceed in the aggregate one million acres, and thereafter they shall be subject to entry under this act without the necessity of residence.
 Provided, that in such event the entryman on any such entry shall in good faith cultivate not less than one-eighth of the en- tire area of the entry during the second year, one-fourth during the third year, and one-half dur ing the fourth and fifth years after the date of such entry, and that after entry and until final proof the entryman shall reside within such distance of said land as will enable him successfully to farm the same.''

The following facts about the hanging
and burning OF Mitchell and Ketchum
are furnished by one who was upon the
ground soon after the tragedy:
Mitchell was a homsesteader, married.
and man OF family and was about Is
years OF age, Ketchum was young
man. blacksmith by profession. and he
was staying at the home Of Mitchell and
was engaged to be married to a daughter
OF Mitchell.
II was noticed by the Olives that some
OF their cattle were missing. The theft
Of these was traced to the home Of Mitch
ell. and IN the trouble which ensued Bob
olive was shot In the side. presumably
by Mitchell. and died from the effects
Of the wound At the same time
Ketehum received bullet in his arm.
the same breaking the bone and his arm
was in a sling at the time OF the lynch
ms.
]. r. Olive and some of his cowboys
took the law into their own hands
Mitchell and Ketchum were captured,
handcuffed together. placed upon the
seat Of wagon and were then taken to
the place OF execution. the wagon being
driven under the limb OF a tree which
extended out over a canyon. Olive then
stepped up to the side of Mitchell and at
tempted TO get him to confess TO the
killing Of his brother and the stealing of
the cattle, but neither Mitchell nor
ketchum would speak
olive then pulled his gun and shot
Mitchell in the side the same as Mitchell
had shot his brother. Mitchell fell back
ward from the seat to the bottom Of the
wagon box, and a rope was Immediately
placed about his neck and thrown over
the limb OF the tree. When the rope was
being placed about the neck OF Ketchum
he threw his chin down on his breas,
and the rope had to be drawn across his
mouth TO make him hold up his head
As soon a. the ropes were in place the
wagon was driven from under the bodies
and they were left hanging In theiair.
Mitchell was clothed In an overcoat
and the close proximity Of the garment al
the time he was shot by Olive set fire te

garment were famed BY the wind to a
blaze after the party had left and all
the clothing was burned from both bod

The story to the effect that fire was
kindied under the bodies Is called a mis-.
take. and there was no intention on the
part Of the lynchers TO burn them. The
rope around the neck of Retchum was
also burned In two. and his body was
found upon the ground the next morning
