NEGROES THREATENED

NEW MADRID, Mo-, Feb. 20.-As a result of the warnings of night riders" that they must leave before Tuesday morning, nearly 300 negroes have left Madrid county within the last twelve hours. Sheriff Kime5 asked the governor to send militia to handle the situation Negroes em- ployed on farms will be severely dealt with if they do not depart, the order announces. The trouble ap- pears to have originated in the land rental system.
 Last December white renters de manded reduction from $6 to s per acre. The negroes were content to continue paying S6, and in January more negroes than ever were given places on farms. Discomfort among the poor whites developed. The more prosperous whites condemned the raid and opposition developed the land owners over the plan to send militia.

UNITED VERDE IS NOW
 OWNER OF COPPER GIANT
(From Sundays Dally)

It was learned yesterday from re- liable sources that the United Verde Copper Company, had closed the deal for the absolute ownership of the Copper Giant group of copper mines in Mohave county, near Blackberry, and that the seller, w. B. Ridenour, had been paid large sum. The prop erty had been under option for over year, during which time the United Verde conducted large line of deep exploration, and made shipments to their smelter at Jerome.
 The Copper Giant is to be placed in condition for patenting, but for the present no mine work will be prose- cuted. As soon as the Clarkdale plant is blown in, however, it is quite probable development will start, and from indications a large camp will be established.

PECULIAR LOVE OF
 WOMAN FOR FELINES
(From Saturdays Daily.)

News has been received in this city of the death of Mrs. Angeline Heyerman, which occurred at Will liamsburg, N. Y. on February 8, and from the scene in the bedroom where the corpse was found by her husband, the appearance of her forty pet cats therein has occasioned considerable comment.
 Her husband entered the room on returning home at an early hour in the morning after performing his duties as a night watchman for a wholesale firm. When he opened the door to the bedroom he was attacked by all felines. when he retreated and summoned several policemen. The cats were finally subdued, and the body of Mrs. HeYerman was removed to the parlors of the undertaken. The cats in the home were the pride of Mrs. Heyerman, and consisted of the Persian, Maltese, Ar"ora and other breeds. In fact she was said to be in love with these creatures, and de voted all her spare time to their wei fare.
 The death of thls woman IS of local interest, as she was a visitor to this city about two years ago with her husband, for the health of the latter, which improved, when they returned home. At that time she confded to friends of her affection for the cat race, and stated she had left her fe- lines at home in the care of sister, who was daily advised how to care for and feed them.

MAR|COPA AND YAVAPA| TALK
 GOOD ROADS
NORTH AND SOUTH HIGH WAY BADLY IN NEED OF FIXING FOR SUMMER TRAVEL

PHOENIX, Feb. 22.-Yavapai and Maricopa counties drew closer to- gether on the matter of good roads, than they have ever been before, when members of both boards of supervisors met at the chamber of commerce Friday to talk over with a delegation of Wickenburg business men, the need of repairing the north and south highway between the two county seats. J. H. Mulholland, the man who insisted so strongly on a gorgeous appropriation for the state good roads work at the recent an nual meeting of the Arizona Good Roads Association, led the Wicken- burg delegation.
 As the Peoria-Wickenburg section of the road is the worst of all be- tween Prescott and Phoenix, and as the highway is the natural summer vacation route for people living in the. south of the state, it was pointed out by the visitors, that Yavapai county could well afford to aid in repair work, even though the entire stretch in question lies within Mari copa. And to take the matter up further, after frst-hand inspection of the road, the members of both boards have agreed to meet at good roads banquet to be held in Wicken- burp carly this week
 The Hassayampa bottom road through the Garden of Allah. made the main route by the supervisors some time ago, has become the least desirable of three or four different routes, according to the Wickenburg men and it is to obviate this, without hurting the community at the Garden, that the next conference will be held.
 Three or four auto loads of Phoe- nix good roads men will make the trip to the northern town.

The mother had purchased a gold ring, gold thimble and some other articles which were to form part of the wedding presents. They also made provision for a beautiful and costly wedding cake, handsome cake basket, and all other fiXings necessary to make the affair conform as nearly as possible to the rites of royalty.
 Landlord Gets Busy.
 But Landlord and Mrs. Hart were suspicious. Avondale had said he was thirty-third degree Mason. He had also told Mir. Hart that Judge F. O. Smith was an old-time friend of his. MT. Hart thought it time to either give Dan Cupid clean bill of health or call him off entirely. A local Mason talked to Avondale, and as of Mason. Other holes appeared in the story of the titled gentleman, which made the landlord and land lady smell a mouse" about the size of a mountain lion.
 Sir Avondale was brought upon the carpet. His credentials were demand ed. He had no baggage save small grip. He had occupied a cheap room. Stories of trying to borrow money whispered" themselves through the atmosphere. The landlord told the royal parsonage to make good with some kind of tangible evidence that "he was he" or leave the hotel Inl the meantime Mrs. Hart, who is q lady of intelligence and tact, having had experience Of some of the metro politan papers of the country in the capacity of a feature writer, also got busy. She told Mrs. Darst and her daughter that they were being de- luded, and they were easily persuaded that such was the case. Miss Darst immediately cancelled the order for the wedding cake, stating at the time that Avondale was an impostor.
 The duke was tilted. The wedding presents were returned The cake i was not baked. The groom-to-be said to the jeweler "you need not hold the ring any longer, the wedding has been postponed" He beat hasty retreat from the hotel to prevent the landlord aiding him with the toe of patent"

and hurrahs, and the fun was on. At
three o'clock the Guards fell back to
their base of supplies, bringing in the
dead. On counting the jack rabbits
which fell, there were 178. Captain
Paulson and his company, being the
