KID DEPARTMENT OF
 THE COUNTY BASTILFI
Sheriff's Office Acquires Trio Of Very Youthful Captives-Ashley Steiz-
 riede Is in Again.

Escape from a semi-penaI instltu- tion. tramp across the country to the old home, and there sWipe money enough to get into trouble with the county authorities again, and you will know what it's like to be one Ashley Stelzriede. Ashley was ar rested yesterday at Tempe by Deputy Sheriff Estrada for the offense of being a fugitive from the reform school and for having appropriated certain sums of money for his own use from the general fund of his nearest relative-the true style of which latter, deponent saith not.
 Stelzriede was in the industrial school for some time before he de cfded to start from that place. He was checked through to Tempe. where he has people all the while believing cleverly that he had out witted the stern arm of the law-to say nothing of the other members. It is likely he would have been all lowed to r. i. D., all same a recently defunct one, had he curbed his ten dency to get into trouble. But trouble and Ashley Stelzriede seem to be synonymous. or at least closely re- lated in meaning, for Ashley tam pered with the family exchequer, to an extent the said family thought wrong, or at least highly immoral in one so young.
 So Ashley is again in the hands of the law.
 The county jail contained two oth- CT lads last evening. little shavers Of Mexican parentage. They evidently quarreled with that parentage, for they deserted the hearth for the friendly road. They, too, were caught at Tempe, and returned to Phoenix for transportation to their rightful owners in this city.

 HAyDEN'S HELP
In Matter of Retention of Watershed in Forest Ser vice-Congressman Hay den Pledges Support to Time Extension Plan

Congressman Carl Hayden was around gathering up the wants and wishes of his Salt River valley con stituents yesterday at an important conference with the members of the recIama tion service and official family of the water users. With what he found a Yuma, this budget of busi- ness will make Hayden a pretty busy congressman at the next session of the grave and reverend body. Recla- nation needs will form a large part of Hayden's work next session.
 The protection of the Verde and Salt river watershed will form one of the most important parts of the work. Since the fuss over who shall police the grazing areas in the TontO basin and Salt river watershed, it has de velOped that the reclamation service must find some way in which to pro tect it's interests. The forest service, under which the restricted areas are administered as tree lands, is about ready to let go all 'hoIts," and there must be someone to grab on quick. As this is a purely legislative prob lem, the assistance of Congressman Hayden will be of immense value to the farmers
 The occasion of the conference was the first meeting of the committee of the council and board, appointed to draft the resolutions of protest against the release of the watershed hills from the forest service.
 The committee is composed ot Jones, Reed and Kuchler of the coun- cil. Orme, Morris and Lassen of the board, and Legal Adviser George Christy.
 In addition to the watershed matter, MT Hayden will take up the twenty year extension of time for the pay ment of the charges against the water users for the Roosevelt dam and it's expensive appurtenances.

 Grounds.

The first steps necessary to rais ing money on church property were taken by the Methodist Episcopal church South yesterday in prepara- tiOn for building a district parsonage in the northeast part of the city-in fact. on the lot known as the old camp meeting grounds.

 With this amount and more from another fund. the church will erect comfortable parsonage, and fit it all for about three thousand dollars. This dwelling will be used as a home for the presiding elder

the car, the train will cover a

PRENrESs SMITH KILLED

Prentes Smith, prominent
young cattle buyer Of Vivian,
was run down and ground TO
pieces by a freight train Of the
Kansas City Southern road early
yesterdy morning. The fatal
accident occurred between NAL
ven and Vivian, sometime after
midnight, and is believed to have
been due TO horse Smith was
riding throwing and injuring its
rider. The supposition is that
Smith was so badly injured he
could not get out of the way of
the onrushing train.
The young man had been to
Malven and started for his home
in Vivian between IL o'clock and
midnight. He was seen riding
up the track about three hun
dred yards from where the acct
dent occurred.
About daylight the remains
were discovered and they were
mutilated horribly. Both legs
were cut off off, one above the
ankle and the other near the
body; the arms were severed.
the skull split wide open, and
Smith was disem bowled. When
the body was discovered drove
of hogs were feeding on them.
The young mans remains were
gathered up and borne to Vivian,
where yesterday afternoon an
inquest was held. 1t was the
conclusion of the coronor's jury
that the horse ridden by Smith
had in some way thrown him or
injured him and he was unable
to get out of the way of the train
Smith was about thirty years
of age and was in the business
Of buying and selling cattle. He
was unmarried. His parents
reside at Vivian. The family
originally came from Smithland,
Texas, which is about Is miles
from Vivian.
Smith was very popular in
Vivian and vicinity. He was a
young man of sterling qualities
and his death is generally re-
GREETED. -Shrev port Times,
