WATER MEN VISIT
AND INSPECT VERDE
(From Fridays Daily.)

For the purpose OF making an in
vestigation of new canal taking
water our Of the Verde river. to
irrigate about 1000 acres OF land.
occasioned J. P. Orme. the presi
dent of the Salt River Valley Wa
ter Users Association, and his chief
engineer, w, R. Elliott, to make a
visit to the Verde valley yesterday.
Later in the day both returned
and were communicative over their
mission. Mr.. .Orme stated their OBJ
servations were hastily made, and
nothing of significance was arriv-
ed at. As to their motive. both
emphatically stated they do not
propose to disturb those lands OF
canals enjoying rights that are
known and well established. neither
do they intend that any legal trou.
bles whatever will follow.
To arrive at some estimate of
the approximate flow per hour OF
the flood waters of that stream. was
their object, as we'll will they ex-
anime records covering any appro-
priations made of flood waters since
the reclamation act went into eff
feet. Under no conditions whatev-
er is the natural flow of the Verde
river to be molested, or prior rights
affected.
This movement, both stated. is !
due TO the broad question Of ascer-
tanning what volume of flood waters
passes down that stream, and nee
essarily to guard against any land
locations absorbing the flow OF the
future from that source to any ap-
preciable extent.
Practically speaking, these men
are here to arrive at some con-
ception of the volume of water car
ried in that stream, and for fu
ture plan of conservation on the
Verde, that is under consideration in
Maricopa county. They stated that
soundlngs are to be made ut 4 GER
tain point between the Horseshoe
ranch in Yavapai and the Sears
ranch iE Maricopa counties. Tor

During the past year the approx
innate loss of water from the Verde
reached to a total of 10000 acre
ieet' which was carried away and
during the flood period.
heir efforts are conferred to bring
under reclamation an additional 30
OO acres of land from this source
water being abundant for the lands
Under the Roosevelt dam for about ,
10000 acres.

SUPERVISORS ARE
NOT PREPARED
FOR ACTION
so THEY POSTPONE TEN
PORARILY ELE c T l 0 N
FOR NEW COURT HOUSE
BOND ISSUE.

Resembling their action OF the
previous day, the members OF the
Board OF Supervisors yesterday de-
cided to postpone temporarily the
election for a S25O.OOO bond issue
for a new court hou-e. As a result
the election will not De held until
after the Frontier Day celebration
during the week of Independence
Day. Originally, the date set for
the election was June Is.
The arrangement for the redemp-
ion OF the bonds as provided for
IN the petitions calling for the cleo
ton, was mainly responsible for
the postponement of the election
date. Yesterday, when Supervisors
Harry w. Heap and Alonzo Mason
went over these details they came
TO the conclusion that the arrange
ment was not satisfactory. 1t was
pointed out that some difficulty
might be experienced in selling the
bonds when it was learned that five
of the $50 one thousand dollar
bonds would be due on January, /,
1915.
A further cause for the delay was
the desire of the two supervisors
present TO have Chairman William
Steohens hack in the CITY before
final action was taken. In addition
many of the taxpayers of the coun-
ty are unfamiliar with the court
house conditions in the city and
the absolute necessity for a new
structure. These people will be in
the city during the Frontier Day
celebration and will avail themselves
of an opportunity of becoming &C
quainted with the conditions as they
exist

together.
The deserted husband took cx-
ception to this course of procedure
and started upon the warpath, do
ing all the sleuthing himself. On
Wednesday. he finally trailed his
faithless wife. lover and five chill

Yesterday. the trial was held. The

Cara was sentenced to six
months in the county jail while no
sentence has as yet been pronounc-

Lane finds himself in a peculiar
predicament. Ordinarily. he would
sentence the faithless wife to six
months but the FIVE children make
such a sentence practically impos-
sibfe. Yesterday afternoon, "rne-

CRIMINAL CASES FOR
Jury SESSION SCARCE
(From Wednesdays Daily


Despite the predictions OF crime
and unsettled mind carried with the
term of March and April winds, the
indications for a busy criminal pc
Rod during the quarterly jury trial
session of the Superior Court next
month, are of the most meagre
sort. For the first time in over a
year. there will be no murder trial
to feature the session.
To date there are just two Grim
inal actions awaiting disposal and
both are of a minor variety. Bert
McMahan who has a fourteen year
parole sentence hanging over him
in the State Prison, pleaded not
guilty to the charge of forging two
small checks in this city and his
trial has been set down for June g.
Taken up on appeal from the Jus
tice court the case of the State of
Arizona VS.. Carrie Neal is set upon
the calendar for trial before a jury
on June 9. Carrie Neal was con-
victed in the lower court of ped
ding dope" to local victims and
heavily fined.
These are the only two actions
as against the famous Leonard
White murder trial last September
the Juan Fernandez and May Clark
murder trials in December and the
Francisco Torres murder trial in
March.
However, the past three months
have not been devoid of plenty of
criminal activity. At Jerome juno
ton Juan Fedora shot through the
heart a fellow Mexican over fifty
cent bet in a poker game, and then
made good his getaway. In Jerome,
an insane Russian killed Guy H.
Bailey, a banker and then sent
bullet through his own head. Carl
NJ. Helm, a Jerome attorney was
seriously injured in the same mix
up.
At least five or six shootings and
dangerous assaults have been re-
corded in that period. In two OF
these the suspects were released.
their actions being deemed justi-
fable. Several others have pleaded
guilty in order to procure the min
imum sentence.
The winds have also blown hea.
Willy in other directions than those
claiming a tendency towards GRIM
nal action. In Humboldt a little
girl was shot and killed by her six
year old twin brother, accidentally
and Ed. Hill, a prominent local
young man was killed in an auto
accident near Jerome.

the officers didn't even get a chance
to arrest Al Everts, the winner,
upon charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Fverts and his friend, Henry Rit

chat when Ritter laughingly re-
marked that Everts was too fat to
run. That's so. you foolish
man." commented Everts.
"Bet you that can beat you in
a 100 yard DASH" replied Ritter
who was there with the coin and
wanted TO produce a $3.50 side bet.
Everts objected and Ritter raised
the ante to $40. at you want 10

members OF the auto racing com

efforts toward attaining 4 brilliant
success in the big auto race around

one OF the Frontier days.
Communications received from L.

P. Bullard, while tending to boost
such an enterprise like Los

cast 4 dampening effect upon the

race simply means. however, that

all the greater in magnitude and
that the committee will afford this
event its undivided attention. At

the Salt River valley, three more
from Prescott. one or two from
Tucson, the same number from
Springerville and possibly a repre-
