RECORD STABBING AT
FRAY LIST FOR JULY
(From SUNDAYS Dailyl

Atmospheric conditions prevailing
since the start OF July are con
ceded to be responsible for the free
use OF cutlery in at least four fra
cases called to the attention of the
sheriff's office within the past few
days. The deluge OF knife assaults
is conceded remarkable in view of
the fact that in but one instance
was the victim of the assault in
danger of death as a result of his
wound.
Early in the month Ash Fork was
the scene OF the most vicious of the
quartet of assaults when Jose Vijuil
stabbed through the intestines
Mexican named Garcia who is today
pronounced out of danger at the
county hospital after a successful
operation.
Vijuil according to the story told
by Garcia's companion, Gavino De

loon as the two were coming from
within and buried the knife 10 the
hilt in Garcia's body. Vijuil took Of

II. McLane as soon as the injured
man is able to leave the county in
stitution. Degardio is the only eye
witness available. He is being held
in the county jail, pending the pre-
liminary hearing.
Jerome was the scene of cut
ting scrape between two Mexicans
several days ago but Justice OF the
Peace Denison disposed OF the dis
turbance with $50 fine. The cash
was paid on the spot.
1t is singular to note that the
four stabbing affrays called to the
attention OF the officials were i'm
partially distributed to Ash Fork,
Jerome, Mayer and this city. and
that in every instance the assailant
was captured.
Mayer was the scene of a bad
cutting scrape a week ago and the
interior OF the county jail, like
wise was not immune Juan Gar
sia in a fit OF anger stabbed John
Howard, a fellow prisoner with a
pen-knife Six stitches were tax
en- to sew up the wound and Jus
tice OF the Peace McLane gave
Garcia an additional month to his
present sentence for each of the
stitches.
Firearms, too, were brought into
play during the early part OF the
present month. At Jerome, a Mexi-
can disturber of the peace was killed
when shot in self-defense by the
night officer. Another tragedy was
narrowly averted when a brakeman

BIG UNDERTAKING
IN PLACER MINING
From Sundays Daily

NIAOiiA ~OuHQd1 DdllyJ
Arrivals from Antelope creek, to
the north of Stanton a few miles
stated yesterday that a California
syndicate had entered that field to
start large operations in placer min
ing, and to date over 1000 acres had
been acquired by locating. The es-
tablishing of main camp it to go
ahead, and several buildings are I'M
der contract to be erected at once.
Three mechanics have been employ
ed in this city, and leave in a few
days.
Preceding this movement it is said
the country was quite thoroughly
prospected for a considerable dis
lance north of the main camp where
several ravines lead into the main
gulch known as Antelope creek
Sluicing is to be the method OF re-
covering the gold dust, and water
will be secured by developing sew
eral places where indications are
attractive.
This zone in early days was quite
productive, but nothing in the line
of extensive operations was conduct
ed. That section is supposed to be
in the same belt that gave Placer
itas fame. while there are many
practical miners, who entertain the
theory that the fabulous wealth OF
Rich Hill, came from that source.

south ever to buy northern grown
potatoes for food.
Dasheens, large or small, may be
baked like potatoes, in quick oven.
They should first be washed and
scrubbed to remove the fibrous part
of the skin. When practicable to do
so it Is often desirable to scrape the
dasheens before baking, as they are
then more convenient for eating and
the soft crust which forms when they
are properly baked is particularly de-
licious. The eorms may be cut in
half from top to base in order to les
sen the time needed for making. The
time required is about the same as
for potatoes of the same size. They
should be served hot. Season with
salt and plenty of butter, and pepper
if desired. Gravy instead of butter
may be used.
The dasheen when properly baked
and served is mealy and the flavor
is much like that of the white potato,
but more or less suggestive of chest
nuts. If not overbaked, the skin
when properly scrubbed or scraped
beforehand will be found of delicious
flavor. AS the dasheen is drier than
the potato it requires more butter.
This vegetable is already a staple
article of food for millions OF people
in tropical countries, although Ameri-
cans have not yet, evinced much In

BATTLE ANNivER-
sARY OBSERVED.

Dadeville, Ala, March 27.-The CEN
tennial anniversary of the battle OF
Horseshoe Bend, in which Gen. Jack
son defeated the Creek Indians. was
observed with appropriate exercises
today at the scene of the battle on the
Tallapoosa river in this county. The
battle was fought March 81, 1914. 1t
was the bloodiest engagement of the
Creek indian war and the victory of
the Americans forever broke the pow
er of the Indians in the south. In
connection with the centennial a
movement has been started to convert
the battle-ground into national park
or reservation. A bill to accomplish
this purpose is now pending in Con-
gress. 1t is also planned to erect a
monument in the park in memory of
the soldiers who fell in the battle.
