ranch near Wellton.
A double barrel shot gun fell from
the wagon and was discharged, the
contents taking effect in the young

DR.. w. H. Fraser, who is staying
ON the ranch, dressed the wound tenn
porarily and sent the patient to Yuma

S. surgeon, amputated the hand just
above the wrist. A number of shot
also lodged in the face, but these
will be taken out at a later date.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.

A burglar entered the Manitaba
house about 4 a. m. Saturday and
searched nearly every room In the
building In his rounds he entered
the room in which Hub FuQua and
Louis Hosfet were sleeping and, TAX
ing the two sleepers' trousers from
chaifs beside their beds, carried
them into an adjoining room and
rifled the pockets, securing rs cents
from Fuqua' S clothes and all auto
matte pistol from Hosfelt's From
another room he took a rain coat he
found there and carrying it to
another part OF the house, left it i'm
an open window, having probably for
gotten to take lit along when he left.
IN the Kitchen he found a pound of
coffee that suited him and took it.
The hour OF his visit was known
through a transient lodger who hap
pened to be awake at that hour and
heard the footpad as he went about
the, house, though he thought it was
some attache Of the place attending
TO his duties.
The fellow seemed to have the con-
fidence of an Old hand at the game,
for he lighted a hand lamp which he
cook from room and carried it
about as he pursued his search of
The premises. Considering the des-
perate chances the marauder took,
Hub does not begrudge him the meas
ley two bits but is more firmly
convinced than ever that to have but
little here below is the proper thing
though mighty incOnvenient. But
to steal mans weapon OF defense
while the owner slumbers is another
thing. 1t is too much like Rubbing
it in" and is a lOWdoWn trick not
even Justified by the code of crimi-
nal ethics.
This is the second burglary that
has been pulled off in town Within
The past two weeks.

Gone to the New Strike.

Gone to the New Strike.
C. w. Graves, Walter Nelson, Billy
Williams and Ed Mason left last
Saturday morning in Graves auto
for the platinum fields of Nevada
but had, in street vernacular, "a
hell of time" of it at the outset.
When about five miles from town the
auto broke down Graves walked to
CalZona to secure the assistance of
another car, while his companions
tarried with the disabled machine.
Becoming tired OF waiting for the re-
turn of Graves, they all walked back
to Parker. Graves finally succeeded
in getting his car back to town, and
after it had undergone the necessary
repairs, the party again started out
Monday. AS nothing has since been
heard of them the supposition is that
they arrived safely at their destina-
ton. ii, as it is said, great tribula-
lions and vexatiom of spirit are inva-
riably the precursors to ultimate
success in every worthy undertaking,
then much success is assured them
in their new field of venture.

Rare Wood.

1t is a fact, though realized by
few of our people locally, and but
little known to the outside world,
that in certain places in the desert
not more than five or siXmiles from
Parker, may be found in great album
dance the finest specimens of seas
Oned iron wood in the world. This
wood is Invaluable for the manufac-
ture of high grade furniture, brio
a-brac of any kind, jewelry cases,
toilet articles or anything in which
ivory is generally used. 1t is as
hard as wrought iron, of an extreme
ly fine grain, utterly imperviOus to
moisture and takes the highest and
most brilliant polish of any wood
known. The color is principally that
OF iron, but the wood varies in
shades of color agreeable, it may be
said, to that of iron in the different
stages of oxidation. A knot, Wart or
eXcrescence of this wood sawed in
two shows the most beautiful va
riegated hues imaginable. 1t is safe
to say, however, that lit will not be
until it has all been destroyed that
its real value will be realized.

MANAGER WITHOUT ELECTION;

TUCSON, AriZ., Feb. 9.-Revamped
city charters to meet modern ideas OF
municipal government are not nee
essary, according to the Tucson plan.
A charter thirty years old has been
found elastic enough to carry all new
ideas and give this city the manag
er}al plan which is being adopted in
many cities throughout the country.
Writing a new charter for a city is
an undertaking which arouses a null
t.tude of controversies and requires
lime, so Tucson resorted to the sim
rleI method of calling upon the city
council to appoint a manager and to
give him the power that a modern
cit. charter would endow. The coun-
eli appointed G. K Clarke, of Los
Angeles, the man who directed the
work of diVerting the flood waters of
the Colorado back into the rivers
Channel, Col. Fps Randolph being
he chief engineer of the big under
taking.
