luaintance. He was a m~iddle-aged
nan, portly and affable, with a consid-
cradle fund of local lore. At his invi.
,ation We had taken tea at the vicar
age, and had come to know, also, Mr..
Mortimer Tregennis, an Independent
gentleman, who increased the cleryg-
mans scanty resources by taking
room in his large, struggling house.
The vicar, being q bachelor, was glad
to come to such an arrangement,
though he had little in common with
his ledger, who vas a thin, dark, spec
tacled man, with a stoop which gave
the impression of actual physical de-
formity. l remember that during u
short visit we found the vicar garrul-
ous, but his ledger strangely reticent,
a s~ad-faced, retrospective man, sit
ting with averted eyes, %brooding ap-
%parently upon his own affairs.
These were the two men who en-.
tered abruptly into our little sitting
room on Tuesday, March the 10th,
shortly after our breakfast hour, as
We were smoking together, prepare
tory to our daily excursion upon the
moors.
"Mr. Holiness" said the vicar, in an
agitated voice, 1.-THE most extraordi-
nary and tragic affair has occurred
during the night. 1t is the most I'M
heard-of business. We can only re-
gard it as a special Providence that
you should chance to be here at the
time, for in all England you are the
one man we need"
I glared at the intrusive vicar with
no very friendly eyes; but Holmes
took his pipe from his lips and sat up
in his chair like an old hound who
hears the view-hallo. He waved his
hand to the sofa, and our palpitating
visitor with his agitated companion
sat side by side upon it. Mr.. Morti.
mer T~regennis was more self-con-
tanned than the clergyman, but the
twitching of his thin hands and the
brightness of his dark eyes showed
that they shared a common emotion.

duction had brought to their faces.

SEARCHING FOR BODY IF MISSING
 PROSPECTOR
in Stream and Another Found Alive; Is an Old Arizonian.

Globe, May 29.-Frank Harbin, who about seven days ago was re- ported lost, has not yet been found It seems that Frank Harbin and A. R :. Jenkins of Phoenix were prospectus in some mines under the Four Peaks and Mr. Harbin, with his two pack burros, started out for the mine with the understanding that MT. Jenkins would send more supplies on the 18th. MT. Jenkins sent the supplies with his Mexican, Frank Fernando. But Nor ton passed Fernando on the Roosevelt road and asked him if he was going to Harbin's mine, and if he was to tell Harbin he (Norton) had picked up one of his pack burros. Fernando failed to find Harbin and immediately notified Jenkins to that effect. MT. Jenkins took the auto and went in search of the lost person. Where the Roosevelt road strikes the river he saw a pack burro washed oh rifle, and with the aid of the Mexican and Frank Davis, who has cattle ranch near there, succeeded in recovering the body of the dead animal, which still had it's pack on. The mon hunted for three days for the lost man, but could find no trace whatever. MT. Jenkins says he is confident the body is not above the canyon. He notified the authorities at Granite Reef to look out for the body, as it might rise when it reached the reef.
 Frank Harbin is 5S years old and has lived in this valley for twenty six years, working off and on for MT. Jenkins. He had four mining claims near Ray, for which he had been offered $40OO, and he was thinking of selling them in few days. His relatives live in Missouri, and he has one sister in Lake county, California

ST ATE NEWS
Fl. GRANT FOR THE IN DUST RIAL
 SCHOOL

It will be of interest to Globe people to learn that historic old Fort Grant is to become the site of the state Indus trial school and has been recommend ed by the commission which recently visited this section for the purpose of selecting site.
 The commissioners, John T. Dunlop, John J. Hawkins, and l.. F. Vaughn. agree that Fort Grant is the ideal loc?- tion. It is in Graham county, not far from Globe, and there are about twen- ty buildings there, some of them in q state of decay, but five or six fit for immediate occupancy. Plenty of wat CT is available and there are a thou sand acres of tillable land immediate ly surrounding the fort.
 Fort Grant has been abandoned by the government for garrison purposes, although the United States retains title to the property but Senator Smith has introduced bill into congress for the purpose of having the site donated to the state as a site TOT her industrial school, and the state authorities have asked the secretary of the interior for temporary use of the ground and build- ings until the bill can be passed. If this permission is granted it is expect ed that the reform school will be transferred to Fort Grant immediate ly.

BELL TELEPHONE ID TAKE OVER AR|-
 IONA CO.

Involving about $2 1000, 900, one of the biggest property deals ever made in Arizona will be closed on June 18th, if the stockholders of the Arizona Telephone, Telegraph & Electric com pany vote to sell to the Bell Telephone company.
 Recently the Bell people made an offer for the property and franchises of the Arizona company, which met with the approval of the directors, and the latter immediately sent mo- tices to the stockholders to appear in Tucson in person or by proxy on June 18th, to ratify or reject the sale.
 Already, it is stated, enough of the stock has signified it's attention to ap- prove the sale to insure that it will go through, and the property pass over to the Bell company, which already practically controls the telephone business of the country.
 In this sale the property to be trans ferred consists of all the local and long distance lines of the Arizona company in Arizona and the Imperial Valley of California. The Arizona company is now one of the biggest in- dependent companies operating in the West. It was formerly the Consoll- dated.

Eugene Earnest is Turned Over to
 Officers by Companion.

Tucson, May 21-His secret reveal ed to the authorities by his tramp companion, Eugene Earnest was to- day arrested at the Southern Pacific depot by United States Chief Deputy Marshal Don Willetts on charge of having robbed the post office at Bowie. A quantity of stamps, a five dollar bill and $1 65 in small change were found in his possession, while the con- panion who informed on him turned over $5 in stamps to the authorities Earenst will be arraigned late today before United States Commissioner James R. Dunsmeath. His compan- ion, Raymond E. Moore, is being neld as a witness.
 Moore appeared at the office of Postmaster J. Knox Corbeet this morning and after complaining that his travelling companion had treated him badly, produced the $5 worth of stamps, and said the man who robbed the Bowie post office, and who had given him the stamps, was waiting for him at the depot. Postmaster Corbett took the stamps, locked the door, and telephoned the circumstance es to the United States MarshaPs of fee.

BlSBEE BOY DROWNED.

Bisbee, May 29th Frank GilbeI t Huber youth of 13 years, was drowned on Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock in storage tank near the Spry mine. This makes the third tragic death in the Hubert family since 1907. In that year Charles Huber was killed by an accident in the mines and in 1910 Joseph Huber, the head of the family, was killed in the Huachuca mountains, either by accident or sui eide, it was never finally determined which.
 The drowning of young Huber oc- cured, while he, with fifteen other boys, ranging in age from 12 to 16 years, were in swimming at the tank

PUMPING PLANT AT
 SAN SIMON
Dallas Man Installing Centrifugal Pump That Will Do the Work.

San Simon, May 27-George H . Greenway of Dallas, Texas, repre- sentative of the l.. H. RumSay Co.,, of St. Louis, Mo-, dealers in well supplies etc, was in town the forepart of the week on business connected with his land interests here.
 MT. Greenway proposes installing a centrifugal pump on his land north east of town about two miles in the hope that he can thus develop a de- livery of about 500 gallons a minute at shallow depth; and if he can, he will be well satisfied, he states. And from his knowledge of pumps and conditions here, and from informa- tion received regarding the thickness of the sand strata of the valley here aboutS, he firmly believes that sue cess could be attained.
 His plan would be to dig down through the sand stratum, and in- stall there his centrifugal pump; and place a lift pump at the top of the centrifugal to the surface. If need be (but this is not deemed likely) he would install another pump-a sta tion pump-half way to the top to as- ,Sist in the lift.
 Such demonstration, if successful would, MT Greenway points out, be great boom to the valley; and he hopes to interest frieuds of San Simon to the extent of bearing a small DOT ton of the eXpense-say the freight item or some other item or items
 He thinks this is a proposition il which the commercial club or San Simon citizens would do well to be- come financially interested.

TUCSON HUSBAND FEARS THAT HIS WIFE HAS MET WITH FOUL PLAY WHILE ON
 HER WAY TO
 NEEDLES

Phoenix. That his wife, who left Tucson for Needles on May IS, and has not been heard from since, met with foul play at some point in her jour ney, is the belief of O. s. Greer.
 MT. Greer arrived from Needles this morning and had a long confer ence with Chief of Police A. J. Moore. He continued his journey to Tucson on the 1 o'clock train, for he has not been able to obtain a trace of his wife since she left the Old Pueblo and he intends to take up the search at that place.
 Several boxes of baggage, which Mrs. Greer expressed from Tucson May II, arrived in Needles on May 18th. They are being held in the eX- press office, for Mrs. Greer had her own name placed on the boxes as re- ceiver.
 MT. and Mrs. Greer formerly lived in Tucson. He went to Needles leaving his wife with MT. and Mrs. Joe Clark, 13S East Pennington St. When he obtained employment at Needles, he wrote her to join him there.
 Mrs. Greer telegraphed him that she was leaving on the 18th, and on the night of that day, MT. and Mrs. Clark wired him that she had gone When she did not arrive at Needles on schedule time, he wired them to ask further particulars. They had not heard anything from her, and were surprised to learn that she had not reached her destination.
 Ever since then Greer has been wiring and writing to his wife at diff ferent points between Needles and Tucson, but every wire and letter has been returned. Peace officers were appealed to, and they have not Hbeen able to give him any informa tion.
 Mrs. Greer was a short, plump wo man, weighing about 13S. Her eyes were blue, her hair brown, and inclin ed to be wavy; teeth were even and white, and she alway kept her nails in neat condition. Under the left jaw bone was a slight scar.

The bridge itself is considered mod el. It has three concrete piers, one at each end and one in the middle. It has a fiat iron superstructure with no high work above the trains as bridges have usually been built in the past. The concrete work for the bridge over the Cienega, 200 feet west of the Southern Pacific bridge, is fin ished and the iron work is ready to be commenced.
 The survey of the branch line from Lewis Springs to Huachuca is finish ed, and it is stated that the contract for the 14 miles of construction is to be let early in June. The construc- tion is to be finished within 50 days after it's commencement.
