to Parker on the evening freight train

mains were inferred the following
day. ''Frenchy" had been on a big
Grunk here for several days and
while in a drunken stupor he left
town without water, announcing that
ne was going to walk to Bouse. 1t
is stated, however, by some that he
had bottle OF water ,buthis canteen

Returns from the North.

j. B. Flanagan returned Sunday
morning from an auto trip through
northern Arizona. Owing to heavy
rains in the northern part OF the
state during the past two months,
touring by auto has been difficult.
Aside from getting hung up in the
mud, sleeping out in the rain, walk
ing into the next town, changing tires
during thunder storms, some more
hiking by foot, breaking down occa-
sioDally when the mud didn't inter
fere, and a few other minor mis-
haps, We editor had a most enjoyable
time. At Flagstaff it rained every
day during the past fifty, except five
days. But while the rain might in
terfere with travel it has put hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in the
pockets of the stockmen, which, take
altogether, is not SO bad.

Delivered Liquor Shipment.


shipment of liquor from San Di-
ego. Cal, arrived in Parker last
week for the Oasis saloon, and after
being held by the railroad company
FOR several days it was delivered to
the consignee upon instructions from
the Santa Fee officials at Los Ange-
les. Heretofore the railroad COM
pany has refused to deliver liquor
shipments at Parker but this particu-
lar shipment was to have been made
a test case in the event the company
refused to deliver after accepting
same at it's San Diego freight office.
La the past the localdealers have
been compelled to have their liquor
haule1 in from outside the reserva-
ton lines, the railroad company not
desiring to take the risk of deliver
ing liquor at it's localstation, within
the town, never having been official
~ notified that Parker was not with
in the Indian reservation.

Danny Meadow Mouse Proves
His Heart Is Stout and True.

When little Nanny Meadow Mouse
timdly peeped out through the grasses
that hung over her doorway. and saw
two callers approaching. fat gray. i'm
pcrtant-lookinS Meadow Mouse coming
from one direction and young, trim.
handsome Danny Meadow Mouse coming
from the other way, her little heart was
all a-hutter with excitement. She hadn't
met either but she knew that they were
coming to call on her. and right away
she began to wonder which one she
would like best. and if she could really
love either of them. The fat, gray Mouse
looked as if he had all the good things
in life. and as if the world had used him
very well indeed To be sure he was
little old and little stout but If she
should marry hm-Nannys heart gave a
funny little jump at the very thought
he would surely give her good home
with plenty to eat
Danny-she didn't know his name was
Danny then-was not as important look
ing. He was not so fat and he didn't
look as if he had had SO many good
things of this world, but he was young
and very handsome. He seemed very.
very bashful as he came forward a few
steps, then stopped, came on again and
sure of himself as did the important-
looking visitor. Nanny wished that he
didn't seem so bashful. and that he
looked as well-to-do as the other. Then
there would be no doubt as to which one
she would love.
1t was right at the very minute that
she was thinking this that the fat, inn
portant-looking visitor discovered Danny
and in a sharp. angry. squeaky voice or
dered him away. Nanny was just on the
point of running away and hiding her
