Draper, N. C.-Mrs. Helen Dalton, o1 this place, says: ''l suffered for years, with pains in my left side, and would often almost smother to death.
 Medicines patched me up for awhile but then would get worse again. Final Iy, my husband decided he wanted me to try Cardui, the wcman's tonic, so he bought me bottle and began using it. It did me more good than all the medi- cineS had taken.
 have induced many of my friends to try Cardui, and they all say they have been benefited by its use. There never has been, and never will be, a medicine to compare with Cardui. bel ye it is a good medicine for all womanly trou- bleS."
 For over 30 years, Cardui has been re- lieving woman'S sufferingS and building weak women up to health and strength.
 If you are woman, give it fair trial. 1t should surely help you, as 1t has 9 million others.

FATHER FAILED; SON
 TAKES UP THE WORK
(From Saturdays Daily)


 Heeding the request of his father, Silas D. Preston, whose death oc- cured short time ago at Waco, Texas, his eldest son, A. w. Pres ton, has arrived in this city, and is on the interesting hunt for certain treasure, supposed to be cached in a marked country east of Gillette, in this county.
 The deceased, it will be remem- bered, visited Prescott about two years ago, leaving later for Phoenix to outfit for the expedition, and to secure the services of certain guide to begin his hunt for what he stated was very large sum of money. He| was in the field but a short time, how ever. as owing to his old age and i'll health, he was physically unable to travel that rough country on foot. His version of the lost treasure was freely imparted to a few friends, and was founded on what was later sub stantiated by old-time residents who recalled the episode of the attacl; made by Indians on the mail coach from Fort Mcdowell to Fort Whip pie, when the Apaches footed the mail sacks and left with all valuables carried thhrein, travelling northeast from the point of robbery.
 Mir. Preston, at that time was trooper of the sixth U. s. cavalry, and in later years came into possession of information from a Mexican wo- man at Fort Lowell, near Tucson when his command was transferred from Mcdowell, that was closely guarded until he left the service. He made five trips to the designated region and failed in each instance to 5e rewarded, although he stated there was no doubt but what the cache was still untouched.
 The visitor will attempt to unrave1 the mystery of this hidden wealth and from the lips of his father, will be guided in his quest
 Coincident with this interesting re search it will be remembered by many in Prescott that Thomas D. 1 Long, who passed away several years ago, made annual pilgrimages to the above locality in search of gold cache, and the fact of his also being trooper of the sixth cavalry, forms a connecting link in this lost treasure hunt. which forms parallel that has decidedly fascinating coloring to stimulate the untiring will of those who believe in its reliability. MT Long also failed, but he persisted, | however, until i'll health overlook him, as it did Mir. Preston. Official rec ords of the military show that a rob bery was committed and the large | sum of money aboard the stage was to pay the soldiers at Fort Whipple, | Camp Verde and Fort Wallapai, in this county, although the exact | amount was never given publicity. | Indians were supposed to have com mitted the crime, but many old | timers were of the opinion MeXicans were the perpetrators of 1t. Pres tons and Longs versions of this af- fair are tenable, for the reason they were cavalrymen at that time, and both were in the field to run down the outlaws, who were trailed for many miles by their moccasin tracks.

LONG LITIGATION
 FINALLY COMES TO AN END
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 Ten years of incessant litigation, large sums of money expended, and pcrsistency attended with unflinch ing determination to have her rights judicially established, have finally re- warded Mrs. s. B. Mayer in secur- ing title to the Winnifred placer hold ing in the town of Mayer.
 A telegram giving her absolute pos session, and free from further legal troubles, was received yesterday by her attorney, T. c. Norris, who was officially advised from Washington that the commissioner of the general land office had, on Thursday, author ized patent to issue for the claim in controversy.
 This decision reverses, in two in stances, that of the Phoenix land of flee, and quiets future title to the tract involved.
 The history of this litigation is in teresting. Over 10 years ago, when Joseph Mayer, the husband, was alive, the government filed protest to the application for patent to issue to this placer ground of 20 acres, sit nate in the heart Of Mayer, under the supposition of it being non-miner- al, and aa being valuable for town site purposes. The second applica- ton was made by Mrs. Mayer, and the cont .ntion of the government was maintained on the same principle, in which the Phoenix land office gave an adverse decision to her, stipulat ing, however, that patent was with held on the ground that there was not sufficient showing in work re quircd. In deciding the issues of the two applications on appeal, the gener al land office holds that the ground is mineral. and Is subject to location as placer. Patent thereto, is ordered o issue, and the decisions of the Phoenix land office are reversed.
 The tract in controversy had been prospected scores of times by agents of the government. who maintained the grounds were non-mineral, when it was conclusively proven to the con trary by the placer gold values re- covered The Winnifred tract is sit uated to the east of and adjoins the main settlement of Mayer, and takes in the right-of-way and buildings of thk Bradshaw Mountain Railway Com pany. It is desirable to the town, and is improved by several resi- dences.
 Mir. and Mrs. Joe Mayer first drove their homestake in what is now the thriving town of Mayer, over 30 years ago. A modest little eating station was established for stage travellers and miners passing in and out of that region. Their business prospered, and step by step the place grew, finally reaching an established center of abode One building after another went up, and finally in a later era Mayer prospered as a permanent and attractive settlement The found l CTS of the town have always pursued l a generous disposition toward those within and without its confines. The tract of land on which stands the new school house was donated to pub lie education, as well was strip of the Winnifred location also offered for l this purpose. In short the energy of the Mayors from first to last to build l up has been admitted, and their liber ality in dealing with the many is a tribute to their good citizenship.

Hen Deserts Chicks for Kittens.

Out at Grant Smiths place south
east of Osceola some time ago an
old Leghorn hen hid her nest in the
hay NOV. The prize was discovered
a few days ago by Mr.. Smith just as
the eggs were about to hatch and at
the same time he found an old moth
er cat nearby with five or six young
kittens. Nothing was thought of the
coincidence until little later III re-
Spouse to commotion in the hay
NOW Grant found that the hen had
deserted her prospective brood and
driven the cat from her nest of
which she took charge spreading her
wings over the new born cat family
and clucking to them as If they were
her own beloved, while the chicks in
the pipped eggs nearby persisted for
the want of her protection. The old
hen was shut up in coop outside
the barn and the hungry kittens were
again restored to their mother. II
the Barton & Bailey circus could
have had this hen and her strange
brood in one of their side shows
when they were in Osceola they
might have made a thousand dollars
clear profit, especially II a cracked
auto horn could have been SO arrang-
ed as to have made strange noise
beneath the cage in which old bid
dy'' was confined Osceola Sentinel.
