MARLEYS GIVEN A
SUSPENDED SENTENCE

The last chapter in the Marley
cases was written Tuesday after
noon in the superior court at
Holbrook, when Judge Shute of
Globe refused them a new trial
and suspended sentence for five
years pending the good behavior
of the defendants.
The Marleys were arrested
upwards of three years ago for
cattle stealing and were first
convicted in October, 1912. On
appeal by the defendants to the
supreme court the case was re-
versed because of the errors of
Judge Sapp and remanded for
a new trial. The cause w a S
called for trial the second time
on the 18th inst. before Judge
Shute of Globe, Justice Sapp
having been disqualified by the
defendants to retry the case,
which resulted in a second con-
viction.
Subsequent to the filing of the
criminal cases sundry civil ac-
tions were brought against the
Marleys by various cattlemen
for alleged thefts aggregating
$50, 900.
Both trials were hard fought
throughout and attracted wide
attention, the best legal talent
of the state being represented
on both sides of the case. Never
did the defendants show any
signs of weakening until after
the last conviction when they
were willing to compromise and
begged for a settlement which
was accorded to them by the
cattlemen at the highest possible
pecuniary consideration.

CELEBRATION YESTER-
DAY WAS A SUCCESS

| The annual oath celebration
held here yesterday was more
fthan pleasing and was hugely
enjoyed by old and young. Some
fellow several days ago told us
that it always rained in Snow
flake on july 24th, and no one
was disappointed whenit arrived
yesterday.
The day started out bright and
early, the band serenade being
first on the program. At $50
a, m. the crowd assembled at
Social hall, where a good pro-
gram was rendered, consisting
'of a pioneer drama, vocal and
instrumental music and recita-
tions.
Shortly after noon a small
sized expected rain came and
for awhile looked as if the after
noon sports would not take place.
The rain, however, proved of
short duration, and the crowd
repaired to the Academy grounds
to witness the races, etc. Among
the events were a fifty yard
race between the Flake and
Smith families, won by the for
nner; potato race; tug of war;
horse pulling contest and several
horse races. The most exciting
event was the wagon and team
race between Tom Tanners and
Evan Larson's teams. Tanners
outfit won the prize, the team
being driven by Tom with La
fayette Kartchner as helper. "
Evans team was driven by
Bige Rogers with Ross Hunt as
helper. Bige dropped one of
ess'e lines in the rush, which
seemed to lessen the progress of
his speeders. Another race was
run, Larson's FLIES winning
with ease, but no prize money
was put up for the event.
The young ladies of the Sun
day school were present with
plenty of ice cream and nobody
made a kick as to it's being too
warm.
A dance was given in the after
noon for the benefit of the little
folks and in the evening the
grown-ups took charge of the
dance.

Cattle Still Short in
Kansas City Market

The situation in the Kansas
City cattle market isone of acute
shortage, says an exchange.
Thus far, this year, $50, 600 few
er cattle have been marketed
than in the same period IN
1913, the smallest receipts during
any similar period in more than
twenty years. This decrease is
attributed to the drouth last
summer.
Another crop of prime corn
fed beeves cannot be made until
the 1914 corn crop is available,
which will not be sooner than
the middle of November. In
the meantime the demand must
be supplied from grass-fed cat
tie, and, owing to the excellent
condition of the grass in the en-
tire range country, cattlemen
will be month to six weeks
late in marketing. In many
cases cattle will be held until
snow drives them from the
range.
July cattle prices are the high
est ever known for this month.
Prime, thick feshed, corn fat
steers sold up to 1918 last week,
and heifers up to $3.50; steers
from the quarantine line, up to
s8. 85. a new high record for all
time in that class, and Kansas
GRASS fed steers were sold up to
SO a hundred.
If August prices for corn fat
ted steers are as much higher

FARM DEVELOPMENT
In NORTHERN ARIZONA

Prof. Stanley +. Morse, Supt.
OF Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, who visited Snowflake some
time ago, has an article, Farm
Development in Northern Ari-
zona," in the last issue of the
Southwestern Stockman-Farmer,
and, among other things, says:
That there is an opportunity in
this enormous acreage of cheap.
well watered land for the dry
farmer or the irrigation farmer
is evidenced by the number of
new settlers who are focking in
to this region, especially about
Snowflake. Homesteads are be-
ing taken up, land purchased and
pasture rented. Fences and
buildings are being erected and
crops are being planted. In the
timber, country cheap lumber
is available and there are a
number of saWmills owned by
farmers in operation. The peo-
pie who are settling in this re-
gionare generally optomistic, hard
working pioneers. But the ma
jorityof them are handicapped by
a lack of funds and a lack of
knowledge of farming under the
local conditions. Transportation
is another serious drawback. At
present the local market on farm
products is usually good. Alfal-
ia hay sells in Prescott for SIS to
SIT per ton; in Jerome for 500 to
$22; and in Snowflake country
for $25 to $50. Grain, dairy and
poultry products, fruit and vege-
tables are all readily saleable.
However. it will not be long be-
fore the local markets are supa
piled with an abundance of farm
produce, and then will arise the
market problem. The writer be-
lieves that all these difficulties
will be overcome eventually by
organization of the farmers and
py the aid of the Agricultural
Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Arizona Experiment
Station. Doubtless the passing
of a National Rural Credits law
and the work of certain bureaus
of the United States Department
of Agriculture also will help"
