GOOD CROPS AND GOOD
 ROADS IN THIS COUNT

G. A. Board, the progressive
 planter of Hensley Island, spent yesterday in the city on business. MT. Board says the cotton crop is doing fine, but added that the corn crop had been damaged some by the unframed worm that spread over the cotton and corn fields few days ago. The worms have all disappeared, how ever, and crop conditions are now much improved. MT. Board took oc- casion to praise County Judge c. M. lPhilpot for some good road work that is being done under the county officials supervision on the north side of the river. He says the roads are being graded and that County Judge Philpot intends to grade them to the Pulaski County line.

and Danaher. He was for many years attorney for the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Com pany. He was counsel for number of big interpretations and private in- terests. He has long been known as an able and versatile trial lawyer, and he has been concerned with much important litigation in the state and federal courts. He recently attracted much attention throughout the coun- try by his connection with the noted Ellis case in Little Rock, in which he was attorney for MT. and Mrs Ellis before the case got into the criminal courts. Later he served as wit ness in the same case, and in this capacity his shrewdness in getting before the jury his testimony, which was considered one of the strongest bits of evidence in the entire trial, was highly commended. But it is not as criminal lawyer that MT. Aus tin has made his reputation, but rath- CT as a civil lawyer, where a know ledge of the finer points of the law and the ability to reason and plead counts far more than trickery and ability to pick juror, and in this connection MT. Austin has been an active participant in some of the most important cases in the history of the courts of the state.
 However, it is not alone in the leg
 al profession that MT. Austin has gained prominence and prestige, for he has also large financial interests of broad scope and importance. He was at one time president of the Citizens Light and Transit Company of Pine Bluff, and in this position he proved himself man of unusual fi nancial and eXecutive/ ability. With keen foresight, he early invested con- siderable money in Pine Bluff real estate, and he now owns some of the most valuable property in the city.
 In politics Mir. Austin was aligned as a staunch supporter of the princi- pies and policies for which the Demo- cratic party stands sponsor, and he
 is ever alert and enthusiastically in sympathy with all measures project ed for the general welfare of his home city and county. He is broad gauged and tie list of his personal friends might also be said to include the list of his aequaintances, and they are legion, bound in no sense by party lines, religious creed or social status. People of every diversity of cOndi- ton, position or relative means know him, respect and honor him. He is a man of sterling integrity, home lover, who seeks and finds his chief pleasure by his own fireside in the companionship of his family and in dimate personal friends. Club life, or the mad whirl of political strife, have for him little or no attention.
 On the sixth day of November, 1881, was solemnized the marriage of MT. Austin to Miss Hattie Keeler, who was born and reared in Jeffer- son county, Arkansas, and who is the daughter of George w. Keeler and Mary Anne Keeler represent ative citizens of Pine Bluff. MT. and Mrs. Austin had one child, now Mrs. F. r. McNeny, of Dallas, Texas.
 In 1890 his wife died. On the 21st day of December 1903, was solemn ized the marriage of MT. Austin to Miss Estelle Buckner, who was born and reared in Norfolk, Va, and who is the daughter of Robert l.. and Mary Anne Bucker, of Norfolk, Va. Mr. and Mrs. Austin have two chil- dren.

Finis Watson Dies
 Of Accidental Wound
Malvern Young Man Was Shot While
 Cleaning Gun.

Malvern, July 27.-Finis Watson, who was accidentally shot Wednes- day by his brother, Ed Watson, and Robert Cunningham, died on the op- erating table here Wednesday, The three boys were cleaning their guns, when one was discharged, emptying the load of squirrel shot into Finis iNatson's arm. Immediately the boys started here with the unfortunate vic tim, but they lacked the presence of mind to cord the wound, and when they arrived from the eighteen miles journey, requiring seven hours through the heat of the day, the boy was too weak for the operation. Stim- ulants and chemical solutions were ineffectively to take the place of the lost blood. His condi- tion would not permit an amputa- tion of his arm when he arrived and ne gradually continued to lose vii tality until death this morning.
 The boys connected with the affair are grief-stricken. There was no coroner's inquest.

unidentified worm that played havoc with the cotton and corn for several nights last week have entirely disap- peared, he says. The hot weather of the past few days is believed to have successfully routed them. According to MT. Brent the worm has not been identified by the planters. They do not remember ever having seen them before, he says, and while they re- semble in some respects the army worm, they are not the same.

TOWN OF HAYDEN
 INCREASES IN SIZE
Phoenix Contributes Recent Addition to
 the Population.

HAYDEN, June 16-As a colony of newly y-weds' Hayden continues to shine The latest addition to this class
 are MT and Mrs. Michael Joseph FitZ-
 gerald who arrived Saturday and are now at home in the new Fitzgerald residence on Utah street recently erect ed by the groom. MT. Fitzgerald IS one of the proprietOrs of the Hayden Drug company. one of Hayden's up-to- date enterprises and his popularity is as extensive as his acquaintance. In the early part of last week, being somewhat bashful, he slipped out of town without telling his friends of his desperate intentions but soon after he had gone it all leaked out, as those matters usually do and the result was that on the morning of the wedding there were no less than thirty tele- grams of a cOngratulatory nature to leave the Hayden office of the Western l Union. The bride was Miss Mamie G. King of Phoenix and the wedding took l place at the Catholic church at seven o'clock i'll the morning June thirteenth. | Immediately after the ceremony there ! was a wedding breakfast at the home of the tr1de'S parents, MT. ana MrS' Thomas King, on the Tempe road east of Phoenix. For several years Mrs. Fitzgerald has been a teacher in the Phoenix schools and leaves a large circle of friends in that vicinity.
 Friday afternoon a fine compound boy arrived at the home of MT. and Mrs. Russell Page in Winkelman. Mr. page is secretary and treasurer of the Kelvin Lumber and Supply company and looks after much of the business | of the firm but he is doubtless so ov- ercome by this great good fortune that | he will be incapacitated for business 1 for a few days This is Russells first
 so his friends will overlook his pecu- liartie for time.

WOULD BE lNSURREcTO
Took Rifle and Ammunition but
 Failed to Get Good Start

Remegio LlescOs probably had
 dreams of wealth to be acquired to
 his native land could he get the arms
 and other sinews of war to wrest
 that wealth from some of the ran
 cherOS of Sonora or Chihuahua. He
 had no money with which to pur-
 chase the needed articles and adopt
 ed course that seemed to him the
 most liable to enable him to fulfill
 his dreams. He had a friend who
 was the owner of a 33-caliber Win
 chester and a belt full of shells
 With the gun and ammunition Re megio might qualify for q commits
 sion in one of the bandit bands that are now ravaging northern Sonora
 The friend, fortunately. as Remegio
 believed, was away from home This
 was the opportunity and Llescos was
 the man. "A plan of action adopted.
 act promptly" was his motto, and hence Remegio LlescOs hurried to the friends residence and succeeded with little difficulty in finding a way to the inside. Here he secured the gun and belt Of ammunition and started to look after a means of getting to
 Sonora other than walking. Unfor- tunately for his plans. the owner of the gun, Secundino Guceriz, discov- cred the loss of his firearln and at once set the officers on the watch for the thief. Suspicion pointed to Remegio and Marshal Peters r soon had him locked up and had the stolen property The man was cau%ht with the goods but took the matter philo- sophically. He remarked that Flor
 ence was a pretty good place any,
 way, and there was less danger at tached to a residence behind prison walls than in handitting IT Mexico. especially since the federal troops were becoming so urfriendly as to shoot the prisoners they captured. The prisoner intimated that he will waive examination when his case IS called at 10 o'clock this morning; Tn which case he Wlll be held to answer and sent to Phoenix.

TEMPE
SUDDEN DEATH OF
 FORMER TEMPE BOY
Roy McComas Passed Away in Bisbee;
 Following an Operation.

Word was received here about nine o'clock yesterday morning of the death of Roy McComas, a former Tempe boy, at Bisbee Saturday night at twelve o'clock. He had been operated on that day for appendicitis but passed away shortly after. The first news of even his illness did not reach Tempe until the telephone call yesterday morning to 4. M. farmer of this place from Dr. Charles F. Hawley of Bisbee who had performed the operation. His mother and two sisters, Misses Ina and Ruth McCOmaS knew nothing of the matter until they were apprised of the fact by MT. Harmer It seems that a telegram had been sent to Mrs. McCOmas imme- diately after her sons death, but it got lost on the road. As an answer was not received at Bisbee yesterday morn ing the doctors there thought they had better get somebody by telephone and locate the trouble. Consequently the first notification of his death reached his relatives at this place through MT. farmer, q number of hours later.
 MT. McCOmas spent a large part of his childhood days in Tempe, a few years previous to that having lived in Mesa. He spent four years in the nor nal at this place and was one of the most highly respected young man in the institution as we'll as in all Tempe. Upon completing his junior year in the normal ne went to Tucson and has spent the rest of his life in that part of the country He has held respon- sible positions in Douglas, Bisbee and some of the smaller towns on the line, at one time working in Mexico. At the time of his death he was employed at Bisbee.
 The remains will be shipped to Tenn De as early as possible and interment made in the Mesa cemetery at the side of a sister.
 The news of his death was a great surprise to everybody in Tempe. All thought 'Cl him as a large husky youth about twenty five years of age in the best of health. And so he was until the sudden attack of appendicitis, which brought the unexpected end so quick ly. The funeral arrangement will be announced later.

A BUSY NIGHT

The strets of Mesa were crowded until a late hour Saturday night by ranchmen who came to town to do their trading and by men who had
 been employed on the balers and threshers during the week past This is the busy season for the farmer and during the fair weather he makes every hour count. Saturday night was the first night off for a week and hence the country people took that occasion to lay in supplies. Some of the places of business did not close until nearly midnight; the pool halls and soft drink establishments ran until the last minute allowed for closing and were literally patronized. Some of the sporting youths who had found the route to bootleg joints re- mained until very late. Three arrests were made by Marshal Peterson. the parties charged with fighting. Gen orally. though. there was no disorder The Coliseum ran through two shows both being witnessed by large crowds.

GASOLINE EXPLOSION
 IN GAS OFFICE
Glass Front Of South Side Gas Com pany Demolished; and Walls
 Damaged

Shortly before o'clock yesterday afternoon, Dr. Dingle, druggist at the J. H. Barnettt drug store. was alarm ed by the sound of an explosion i'm mediately followed by the crash of store and found the glass front of the building occupied by the South Side Gas company entirely destroyed and smoke coming from a back room of the office.
 MT. Dingle hurried to the rear and found small fire started on the bench in the work room. A water cooler was near, about half filled. and With this water he soon extinguished the flames. A crowd soon gathered and an inquiry was instituted to as certain the extent of the damage. Mir. Chandler, manager of the com pany, was away but Mrs Chandler was soon at the scene of the accident and was pleased to learn that the damage was as light as it was. The first report she had was that the office was on fire and she did not know whether the building would be there when she arrived or not.
 It was found that the explosion was caused by a gasoline torch on the work bench in the rear room just back of MT. Chandlers private office. A burned box of matches near the torch told the tale of sponta- neOus combustion in a closed room. At least that was the verdict of Fire Chief C. Fred Bracket and of MT. Carr, head bookkeeper for the company. No one was in the build ing when the accident happened. or it is probable that some one would have been seriously hurt. The ex- plosion caused the partition wall, of brick, to buckle quite a bit moved heavy desk a couple of feet, de- stroyed all the glass both in front and rear and otherwise shook things iup
 Two or three hundred dollars will cover all the money loss. and it is fortunate that some one was near to prevent a serious fire

THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON CRE|GHTONS BOYS
The Fathers Time Absorbed by Com
 mencement Exercises.

J NJ. Creighton returned yesterday morning from Los Angeles where he spent, or in that vicinity, the proudest moment of his life. He witnessed the graduation of his son Roy from Occi- dental College. For some weeks the time of Mir. Creighton has been largely consumed by watching the graduation of his boys. Hugh finished the gram mar school course in the Osborn dis trict and was promoted to the high school. John was graduated from the high school and is about to enter upon the study of law. It has not yet been decided where he will go but it will
 be either to Harvard or the University of Michigan. Roy Creighton will go to Harvard to take a course in architec- ture
 There is a good deal of excitement in southern California MT. Creighton
 says, over Occidental College. There is a notion there that it may be made one of the great seats of learning in this country and wealthy friends are going to give t a chance to try.
 MT. Creighton stood shoulder to shoulder with millionaires who were giving up liberally. MT Creighton did not give any money for he thought he was doing his share in another way He has been furnishing boys for the institution. A college might have a billion dollars endowment and if it had no boys il would not be much of an institution of learning

REASONABLE PRICES

J. L. Conrad. a recent conner from Turlac, California, has purchased a ranch four miles east of Mesa and will begin at once the propagation of an orchard in which orange trees vii be the principal attraction. He comes from an orange country and knows the business thoroughly. He believes wher his land is located there will be little if any frost, even in the coldest winters known in the Mesa section. He will, however, take every precaution and is satisfied that ir tune he will have piece of land that will command value equal to some of the best of California lands. Mir Conrad says that land values are cheap here; at least they seem cheap to him. He sold his place in Cali fornia for $450 an acre, and he does not believe that it is as good land as what he purchased in tho Mesa section for less than half the price. He believes that values will rapidly increase here when the people gen orally realize what can be grown in this section and the home seekers get to bidding for chance to own homes here.

Of course this will not be the fast game between the two teams but at present each have one to their credit and every body is anxious to see who takes the third.

In all prob abilities a special will be run from Tempe so that all who care to see the game can economically do so.
