BAD BRACE OF WO-
MEN IN PRESCOTT
From Fridays Dailv.l


Somewhat OF sensation develop
ed in Prescott yesterday when it
became matter OF public know
ledge that two strange women, one
about sixty-five years old and an
other about thirty, had spent three
or four days canvassing the city
among the women in a vocation
which is a major penal offense, and
which would land them high and
dry" in Florence il they were caught
and convicted.
That such a practice should be
in vogue without some OF the
officials, county or city. having
knowledge OF it, was one OF the re-
markable features of the case. The
women. who stopped at local
rooming house, are reported to have
been as smooth as a window pane,
in plying their nefarious business,
singing out only the younger class
OF married women as prospective
customers. and being very careful
in the manner in which they APP
preached them. They evidently did
not take much stock in the doc
trine of Teddy Roosevelt and others
who have been so diligent in preach
ing against race suicide, or at least
they seemed to think that people
who disbelieved in the proper
propagation of the race had a per
feet right. though contrary to law,
to patronize them, one of their
arguments being that they were
the only agents for the article they
had for sale in the west. and that
people who failed to purchase while
they were in the city would not
have another opportunity for the
Lord only knows when.
1t is said that they transacted
a profitable business in West Pres
colt, and had commenced to can
vass on the east side OF the resi-
dence district when a certain hus-
band detected them and telephoned
the city hall asking that the police
get busy. Soon after this the offic-
ers were making inquiries and the
womeR took train out OF the
city Just in time to avoid arrest.
One citizen speaking of the mat
ter said that it was only another
illustration OF the money madness
of people. While evangelistic
meeting are in progress in one part
OF the city, and while the governor
or Nebraska is lecturing on'political
patriotism and morality, here are
two of the 'gentler sex plying a
vocation to put baby shows out OF
the realm of possibility and de-
2lctc the American army TO the
minimum" he declared.
1t might be well for the officials
OF other cities and town in Arizona
10 lcok out for this pair of far
damsels.' Such people should not
find their paths strewn with roses.

NOVEL SITUATION
SUDDENLY ARISES
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Dally.)
Rather an unusual and yet a very
interesting situation came to the
surface yesterday. when it was learn
ed that a German syndicate and
English capitalists were DESTROYS OF
becoming interested in the same
proposition in this county, but not
in a collective sense.
This fact developed during the
week. when Z. H. Meek, president
OF the Arizona Hydraulic Power
Co., the Verde river project, re-
ceived a letter from New York, from
a German source stating that the
writer was empowered to look the
matter over with the view of in
vesting. Also there came from
London, a similar inquiry, evincing
keen interest over the possibili-
ties OF the undertaking and also
stating that representatives OF the
English firm would arrive in Pres
colt next week to make observations
Mr.. Meek states this disposition so
earnestly manifested toward Amer
lean investments is indicative OF the
throes OF war not being so bur
densome financially as is generally
believed. and reflects the opportuni-
ties Arizona possesses in attract
ing large capital for investment in
virgin enterprises.

COMPLEX MATTER
IS FINALLY ADJUSTED
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
The recent election at which was
authorized the abolishing OF county
farms throughout the state, and the
pensioning of aged women and men,
according to advices received from
Phoenix in a discussion of the legal
situation affecting like institutions
in Arizona, also involved the Pho
neers' Home in this city.
Action. therefore, was deferred by
the board OF control, in carrying
out its plans for constructing the
annex to the home that is to be
used for pioneer women as well as
for married pioneer men.
The situation. however, has been
relieved of any future intention to
discontinue this institution. and &c
cording to advices received yester-
day by Judge Wren, the superin-
tendent, Secretary Osburn OF the
board OF control. will arrive in
Prescott before the week passes to
close up the matter and arrange for
the annex to be built at once The
plans of Architect Elliott have been
approved, the money is in a bank
in this city, from the bequest of
$4,000 OF the Parsons estate, and
contract and start the work. If the
money is not applied to the home
in Prescott, it reverts to the source
from which it came.

(Flom Thursdays Daily.)


c. J. McNplty arrived from his
camp on Copper creek yesterday,
bringing the first sulphides develop
cd in the Green Mountain claim OF
the big group, and expressed him
self as gratifed over this mineral
condition being determined. He
said.
I'VE have been carrying out a
large line OF deep exploration in
anticipation OF accomplishing this
purpose, and believe that the future
OF the property is assured. The
drift carries this new ore body for
its full width. and the extent OF the
condition is as yet unknown. Pock.
cts OF the sulphide run to as higk
as sixty per cent, and fair average
OF the entire body is 10 per cent

group, and has authorized explora-

also states he will place a force at
work in another zone OF the prop
crty, where similar mineral condi-
tons prevail, in the hope of again
hitting the same character of ores.

tween the county attorney and the
attorneys Tor D. NJ. Clark in the
superior court yesterday, with refer
ence to all the criminal cases against
the defendant, tine date OF trial was
postponed until the March term. In

defendants attorneys to dismiss the
cases, which was filed recently and
taken ander advisement, it would
make no difference as to time of
trial, all to be left in allegiance until

Marsh Pleads Guilty.
Howard E. Marsh. who has been
in the county jail for the past six
weeks on the charge OF having en-
bezzled 500 from Sophie f. Dalton
appeared in court yesterday and
pleaded guilty to misdemeanor, ac-
knowledging he was guilty OF hav-
ing secured the money under false
pretenses, and Judge Smith set next
Monday as the date when he would
pronounce sentence. This case has
cost the county considerable money,
involving trip by the sheriff to
Los Angeles and Sacramento. Cali
iornia, and a sensational escape from
chat state with his prisoner. all OF
which has been given in news
stories before. At the preliminary
trial Marsh had a pitiful story to
relate, a sister and one of his sons
having died since he has been in
carcerated. At that time he pleaded
with tears rolling down his cheeks,
that he was innocent OF any crime,
saying he borrowed the money.
Judge McLane held the case in abey-
ance until a few days ago in hopes
Marsh would be able to raise enough
money to repay the amount and
part OF the costs, but he was unable
to do so, and the order for his
trial in the superior court followed.

as the increase in population. We
have all heard the old Dutch
proverb quoted before, but we
cannot quote it too often: mo grass,
no stock; no stock, no manure; no
manure, no crops" Holland is almost
entirely grass and stock country,

$500 per acre. These people have
found that they can make more out
