SAY |NTERESTSARE
 OVERLOOKED
(From Tuesdays Daily

Paul H. Wright. who Is in the city from Camp Wood stated yester day that one of the objects of the forming of the new stockmen's pool in that county was for the purpose of remedying the evil of the whole sale destruction of cattle on the range by mountain lions and lobo wolves.
 The last Legislature was asked to protect the substantial interests of the county by substituting the old bounty law pertaining to these ami mals, but no action whatever was taken. Instead, however, there were enacted laws by the score which would create offices, to be filled by jobhunters, in payment for insig- nificant political services to one cause or another, but the material interests of those who make up the backbone of providing funds to run the State were brushed aside as of minor importance and as of no con sideration whatever, except in tax assessment time.
 Mir. Wright states that the bounty of $50 to be paid in the future is just $40 more per animal than the prevailing rate. authorized by statute. The wanton destruction of cattle on the range prompts this action as nec- essary, and in the hope that pro- fessional hunters will come to the country Only a few days ago Or vile Bozarth found three head of steers on the range that were killed by lobO wolves, while hardly a day passes but what some rider makes like discoveries. Thousands of dol lars have been lost in the past Winter through this source, and to add to the woes of rangemen, the wolf and the lion are increasing at such an alarming rate that prompt action must be taken to eradicate the evil

drawn and put in a Phoenix bank Fox then started to carry out his plans by jumping the country at the earliest opportunity. A cattle buyer was reached, and quite a big herd of fine COWS owned by Miss Devine went over to the new owner in a jiffy for several hundred dollars, in sacrifice sale.
 While in the livestock business, Fox drove the fine trotter and the new buggy of his wife to the home of a neighbor and left it with the new owner for the snug sum of S1O0 more. With a poor mouth over hard times, and a ''cinch" on making some easy money in snap deal with another neighbor Fox en- deavored to get some more coin of the realm from his indulgent better half, and all the time had in view the S30,000 estate of her little daugh- ter, as a splendid avenue with which to appease his speculative appetite.
 But in this he fell down, and only few dollars was provided him. Jewelry in the home, and mis- cellaneous assortment of goods that could be readily sold, got in the way of his grasping tentancles, and he made another cleanup. Survey ing the financial horizon. Fox con cluded to get out of the country on the first train, but before doing so, informed several confidential friends, , including his wife, that he would be back in few days, as there was something doing in the country adjacent. the nature of which he did not reveal. The mist arose later, and with the lifting of the curtain, Fox was last heard of boarding a steamer for a port in Guatemala. The cattle he sold were replevined by Judge Talbot, as they belonged to the minor child of Mrs. Fox, and long before Fox had appeared on the scene to woo and win her mother.

(From Tuesdays Daily)

Sunday evening at o'clock the summons came to Sister Mary Francis Eagan at Mercy Hospital, and the spirit of another kind and sacrificing woman passed to its Maker, under circumstances that ap- peal tenderly and sympathetically to all.
 This beloved woman had devoted practically all her life to benevolent duties, and for over thirty years had graced every institution of this re- ligious order in Arizona. answering the call of duty with that devotion to the ailing and with a true Christian motive that made her long life a beautiful one For many years she had been in this city, but failing health overtaking her. she surren- dered the task to others, to await the inevitable with a meekness that was without a murmur and which was blessed with knowing that her life's work had ended as it had been devoutly followed for so long. The end came peacefully and gently at the close of the annual retreat by the Sisters of Mercy. which is pa thetic in its conception of one of the worthy members also finishing her earthly career.

The recent abSconding of Lee Fox of Mesa, in Maricopa county, with large sum of money belonging to his wife, nee Carrie Devine, of this section, is being generally discussed by those familiar with this slippery transaction, as nothing more nor less than a well-planned and cleverly carried out ruse to work the old gold brick game along lines that revealed decided innovation from old-time methods-via the matrimonial stunt SO to speak.
 The return yesterday of Judge R P. Talbot from Mesa, the guardian of the estate of Margaret Sarah De vine. the minor daughter of Mrs Fox, lifts the curtain in this drama of the home that has a decided lurid coloring of the play that was SC neatly carried out from the altar t1 the last act of the frenzied finance hubby, who has gone for good, it is believed, and is now sequestered ir Central America with the gilt-edged coin of his indulgent and faithful wife.

THEY COMBINE FOR MUTUAL
 PROTECTION
Bounty of $50 is to be Given for Lions and
 LObo Wolves
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Mutual protection is the keynote of q pool that has been formed among rangemen in the northwestern portion of the county. which m cludes some of the best known live stock growers in the Baca Grant region. the organization being et- fected a few days ago.
 The object of this pool above everything else is for the preServa- ton of the holdings of each mem Der. through a unity of action that will centralize itself into individual cooperation at any time and under all possible conditions: One of the potent matters taken up and de cided, was the placing of a bounty of $50 per head on every mountain lioA or lobo wolf killed within cer- tain boundaries. This liberal sum IS to be paid freely. in the hope that professional hunters will come to that country to eXtermlnate an evll that is proving disastrous to many rangemen, who are losing heavily in valuable livestock on the open range
 The legal bounty for these animals IS but Sl0 per head, from which will be inferred the sincerity of the pur- pose the above organization has adopted. The working of stock on the range, either by bodies or in- dividuals, and generally speaking, the consideration of the industry singly or collectively. and in manner deemed expedient. is to be carried out freely ani voluntarily by those interested. The boundaries of the district in- clude a wide range of grazing terri tory and embraces the Camp Wood range, the Baca Grant region, Bear Greek, Anvil Rock, and adjacent sec tions. Among those identified with this movement are Paul H. Wright, Ray Hill, Reid. Evans & Company, Hummer Brothers. Clarence Denny Brown Brothers, George Miller. Os- car Cornell and Jones Bishop. Mike Mcbride, the merchant of Seligman, is to be the auditor of the organiza- ton. He will pay bounties on the endorsement of any of the members.

PRISONER CAUGHT BREAKING OUT
 OF JAIL

 John Warrington proved himself one of the most troublesome GUS toners the local police force has dealt with in a long time on Sunday night, when arrested on a gun carrying charge. Warrington just couldn't accustom himself to his rather dingy quarters and imme- diately hit upon a splendid thought to break jail And he did. but his liberty was of short duration
 When Policeman Bob" Robbins entered the lookup hall lie heard a creaking noise. He investigated from the rear and there in the back cell discovered mighty busy individual, m the person of the prisoner Rob bins decided to await developments. secluding himself in the shadow of the wall.
 Warrington tagged and tugged on the bars and one by one they gave way before his persistent efforts Then, with one of the bars he managed to break open the heavy lock His exertions overcame him for a minute but while he rested, a voice drifted in upon the quiet silence
 Hurry up there, you, I'm waiting for you out here" said Robbins, coming into the light
 "Oh, is that you. Rob, asked the prisoner in crestfallen tone of voice. Then for the night the es- Caping tactics were abandoned.

OFFICERS ARE DINNER
 HOST OF CHAMBER.
(From Sundays Daily )

Hospitality accepted by the guests in the spirit it was rendered by the host, featured one of the most ela- borate semi-civic functions of the year in Prescott last night-the banquet by the Chamber of Com merce to its guests, the officers of the visiting Arizona National Guard. A bond of friendship betwixt guest and host was sworn to during the course of the cvening-uot exactly in those words, but the remarks, the significant speeches. all tended towards giving that impression.
 That subject most dearest to the hearts Of Prescottonians at the present time, the organization of a local company of militia. came in for major portion of the com ments. To employ the ''give-away of one of the officers who spoke, "We (meaning the officers) have been instructed to rub it into you folks of Prescott, because you lack the punch in organizing and main taining a company" And at certain points, the rubbing in" was done to the Queens taste, while to hear the promises of influential Pres cottonians, one would have judged that the both sides had prepared their debates before hand. Fhe echo of these informal speeches, however, will unquestionably materialize with in the next several weeks into a splendidly backed and excellently equipped company.
 As for the banquet-that was a credit to the City of Prescott. The visitors maintained 50. and the hosts modestly admitted as much. The excellence of the cuisine was only eclipsed in point of enjoyment by the splendid democratic and informal manner in which both the hosts and guests conducted the event. During the periods when a speaker was not seriously discussing the phases of Americas serious problems from a military standpoint, and similar topics, staff of Prescott's best and nimblest tongue-wielders enter tained with selection of the choicest yarns, not to forget the many i'm promptu speeches which were fraught with excellent humor and wit.
 While the inner-man was receiving his full share of attention at the ex- pense of the excellent assortment of viands furnished under the careful supervision oi Steward Taesler, the hosts. led by Secretary Fraser of the Chamber of Commerce interjected some life into the proceedings" by delivering a collection of sympathetic and elite harmonic compositions. Among the number who were paid vocal tribute were Governor Hunt w. A. Drake. Colonel A. NJ. Tuthill, Adjutant General Charles w. liar ris. Lieutenant Sterling. U. s. A.; Major Donkersley. Mayor w. H.

 Judge Wells, in an entertaining and highly significant address, prophesied that within the next two years the ranks of the regiment would be filled He pledged his support to a local company, and in concluding. paid a glowing tribute to Major Donkersley, of Indian war fame, who sat upon his right.
 Colonel A. NJ. Tuthill was rendered an ovation when he arose to speak The colonel in a very candid address criticized the existing conditions in the United States army, maintaining that it is anything but on war footing. He urged the establishment of a local company and promised that if the regiment was not in Mexico two- years from now they would surely again camp at the Fort Whipple grounds.
 Other speakers of the evening were Mayor w. II. Timerhoff, Dr. Finn. Adjutant General Harris, E. s. Clark. H. H. Linney, Captain Miller, Lieu tenant Sterling, Lieutenant Le Garde and F. L. Haworth.

 City.

Dear Sir
 l don't know who was guilty of the editorial in Saturday mornings paper about Prescott needing houses. But am certain that if you examine that part of his anatomy, which sup ports his hat. you will find it is a peanut.
 While the Chamber of Commerce may be doing a lot of good work. 1t would be Of much more value to the city if it worked harder to supply us with permanent settlers. Most of the people who come here to spend the Summer come from Phoenix and the surrounding heated section and almost every time you will find that they know all about Prescott and that we don't have to advertise our advantages to them.
 While the transient visitor is all very we'll in his way, he is of no special value to the town What we want are people who are going to come to Prescott and put their money into the building up of the town or of its surrounding country. These people are not pleasure seek CTS, but are hard-headed, sensible farmers and business men, who are looking for chance to invest heir money and not to have good time
 Prescott is properly equipped to take care of as many of this class of people as the Chamber of Com merce may be able to bring us.
 It is all very we'll for an ir- responsible editorial writer to advise the business men how to invest his money. We notice, however, that he IS very careful not to guarantee that there will be any return to the man who may put his money into building houses for which the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce tells him there may be demand.
 Yours respectfully,
