a man has been tried by a jury of

the greatest criminal record OF any
State or nation on the face OF the

number of criminal acts in Mari

county during the present admins

The employment of prison labor
in the building of roads and bridges
came in for number of good hard
knocks. In building the Tempe
bridge, he pointed out, the State
employed prison labor. The cost
of the structure was S175,OO0. Lat

under contract with builders for

One OF the most remarkable fea-
lures in connection with the From
tier celebration which closed in a
blaze of carnival glory Monday
night, is the fact that not a single
arrest based upon serious charge
was made and that no injuries or
fatalities were reported. The latter
fact may be considered really wor-
thy of deep thought when it is
realized that 5000 visitors crowded
Prescott and that two daring motor
cycle races and an auto classic of
an exceptional dangerous hue were
on the program in addition to the
wild western stunts at the fair
grounds.
The hardened constitutions boast
ed by the cow-punchers stood them
in good stead The only reported
accident at the grounds was the
one in which J. w. Ryan, Jr. sus-
tanned a broken collar bone. How
ever. a plaster patch over his nose,
makes conspicuous Billy Simon and
it is believed that steers hoof
Melted him broken nose.
Harry S Knight and Jack Webb
were both more or less shaken up
by their experiences but neither sus-
tanned a serious injury. There were
no injuries sustained in the Phoe-
nix-Prescott motorcycle race in
which there were fourteen entered
and the same clear si7.e was re-
ported in the motorcycle loop race.
J. A. Soderquest mechanician Tor
George Miller in a Stutz sustain
ed a fractured knee cap when the
machine was ditched. This was the
only injury reported in this event
Although, the fireworks dealers
reported an extra heavy sale OF
their wares for this year, there were
no accidents reported among the
younger folks. The grand display
OF powder and color lasted until
the night OF the 9th but the young
sters flirting with certain danger
escaped to a unit in remarkable
fashion.
No less remarkable than this re
cord is the slate in the sheriff:

several ID and D" cases reported
but neither pick-pocket nor assault

CATTLE PRICES SHOW
UPWARD TENDENCY

VI " AMI 1GNO6NO1
KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS
July 6.-The feature last week was
further separation of prices between
choice fed cattle, and the lower
grades. The same tendency exists
today, on small supply of 5000
head, except that cows and heifers
of all classes are strong to IS high
er today. Choice Missouri blue
grass and corn steers sold up to
$3.50 today, several droves bring
ing the price One 7 car drove sold
at $o45 and $3.50, said to be the
highest price ever paid here for so
many steers in one lot. Grass is a
factor in the price cuts on lower
grades. Stockers and feeders are

three weeks OF very reasonable
prices on them Feeders sold at
So today, for the country, and other
feeders sold to packers at $50, in
dicating beef hunger among the
killers. Kansas will be in the mar
ket for cattle early this year, and
from now on demand for stockers
will exceed the supply constantly
here. With beef cattle. receipts run
ming so light, considerable competi-
ton among killers and feeder buy
ers will develop on half fat steers.
Quarantine supply is O. cars today,
largely from North Texas. Some
of the steers sold at $3.50, and a
5 car drove brought $40, new July
prices on quarantine cattle here.
Oklahoma cattle are not fat, and
as that district has been visited by
plentiful rains, and the market is
acting creditably on decent cattle,
owners naturally desire to put on
weight, and feel safe in doing It'll.
Hog receipts today are only $500
head, and the market is to 10
higher. Top is $3.50, and bulk $3.50
to $3.50. A large run might have
produced some $S55 hogs, as the
market is very capable, and apt to
surprise shippers in favorable
way. Not single live stock mar
ket in the West, beginning at Chi

invitation was extended him to Join

In the second hand, he he'd queen

third hand he was the possessor OF

that one of the other fellows held
four aces. That was enough, even
for Heller and he left the wine room

Heller, however, could not testify

FRANKLIN GETS $40
IN DAMAGE SUIT
fFrom Wednesday's DaiIy.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
Judgment for $40 in favor OF
the plaintiff was yesterday rendered
by a jury in the case of T. L.
Franklin vs.. H. J. Crane. Argu-
ments by counsel Cor both sides
occupied the early morning hours
of the session and the case was
given to the jury shortly before
noon.
Franklin sued upon the grounds
that Crane mad violated a verbal
agreement. Franklin had rented a
ranch from Crane in Walnut Grove
with the stipulation that a hve-year
lease was to be drawn up. After
working and improving the ranch
for over one years time, Crane
served him with ejectment notice.
This action was settled out of the
courts but a month later, after
Franklin had removed from the
premises, he started a counter-suit
alleging that he had performed ser
vices valued at 500 a month and
asking damages in all for S1.402.
The jury was out for two hours
finally bringing in verdict valuing
Franklin's services at about $40 a
month.
