HORRIBLE CRIME IS BEING RUN
 DOWN
AZBILL BROTHERS OF THIS CITY UNDER AR REST ACCUSED OF KILL ING BOY LAST FALL.
(From Tuesdays Oaiiy.)

Sheriff w. II. Dickson of Coconino county. who spent several days in Prescott last week, stated that he nal placed under arrest Henry and Nor ris Azbill, both former residents os this city and county for the murder last Fall of young man, wnose body was found in lake of the Johnson Cattle Co.,. south of Williams
 In an effort to establish the identity of the victim of one of the most cold blooded of crimes, there was only 2 thread to follow, vague description Of the companions of the murdered young man. One clue and another was grasped. and finally those a1swe-' ing the description of the two men last being seen with the deceased, were taken into custody one the Colo rado river, and are now in jail at Flagstaff. Their capture was effect ed through a system of tracing thei- llICdluCliiiSS TUT ONSI lOht HlOHtuS' and by means of certain business dealings they had in disposing oi property Of their alleged victim. The gold watch of the dead boy, his rifle, revolver, burros, wagon and other e. fects were parcelcd out to different buyers. and through these dealings the link in the long chain was closed and the Azbills were located and placed under arrest. Also in their possession was some clothing owned by the dead boy. and which later was identified by his father. as also were the guns, the gold watch, and other property.
 The crime of which the Azbill brothers are accused was horrifying. They evidently shot and killed the boy for his property. and some cash on hand. After death an attempt was made to cover up tine crime by throw ing the body into the lake. with Q heavy boulder tied to the neck. Through some cause not known the body lodged on reef, few inches from the surface, and in this position was accidentally discovered later b. the foreman of the Johnson Cattle Co.. in riding the range. The alarm was thcn piVen and the search start ed by Sheriff Dickson in person.
 The Azbill brothers and their sup posed victim started from Phoenix early last Fall to hunt big game on the Mogollon mountains, and wer, infrequently seen at only a few range camps. Personal descriptions of the Azbills were obtained however. and finally in the remotest section of the State they were run down and cap turcd.

Take Care of Ewes.

The winter care of the flock Ii
important to insure lamb crop to
be harvested in the spring. Ewes
IN good condition need not be fed
grain until about month before
lambing, when they should gradu'
ally be accustomed to it. Ewes in
thin or poor condition should re-
ceive from one-fourth to one.half
pound of grain daily. Corn. alone
is not the best grain ration. A ra
ton of parts corn, 8 parts wheat
bran, and l part linseed oil cake,
by weight, has proven very salts
factory. A ration of corn, oats,
and bran, equal parts by weight,
can also be recommended.
The sheep should receive as much
clover or alfalfa hay as they will
eat. The amout IF hay eaten can
be cut down by the use of corn
silage or corn stover. Two pounds
clean, sweet corn silage can be used
to replace about one pound of hay.
Well cured corn stover is also rel
ished by the ewes. Ordinarily,
there is little danger of the sheep
eating too much of it, if the hay is
fed once a day. The greatest dan
ger of corn stover comes from max.
ing it the exclusive feed. Clean
salt and water should be kept be
fore the flock. Sheep should al

Two Kinds of Farmers.

Why is it that so often farmers
living side by side on farms of equal
size and fertility get such different
results? Evidently the reason must
be found mostly in the men them
selves. One man takes in agricul-
tural papers, keeps posted on farm
ing, plans for the future, keeps his
land in fine condition and farms
scientifically. Another man neg
lects these things, loafs about in
town instead of attending to his
work, and fails in good repair. One
man finds farming pays and is hap
py, the other says there ls no
money 10 farming and is in a chron-
ic state of discouragement.-Or-

4 On telling friends goodbye We
t8elt quite sure that some of them
Ne would never see agsin, but were
l4arprised and saddened to receive
the intelligence, 80 soon, that one
of our dear friends, a member OF
Plum Branch Baptist church, no.
|bie Christian woman, Mrs. M. A.
Black we'll. had passed into thesweet
IsBeyond. How we do feel for the
k5ved ones, and assure them of our
prayers and sympathy.
We are now living in the county
seat.town of Dorchester. st. George
has The snap" and "ge" Of q little
city. She has splendid electric
system Of lighting the town. Also,
one Of the best schools in the State
for primary and academic work, and
d good school of music, two strong
banks, frst-class cotton market
and an average good market for al.
most any commodity-a very pretty
town of twelve hundred people.
We count ourselves quite fortu-
to to be able tocast our lot among
80 noble a people. We are very
pleasantly located, living in a nice,
nav six-room parsonage, on a shaded
lot joining the church lot, on which
sets splendid wooden building
which has recently undergone some
repairs in the interior.
The people received us very
:ccnrteously, meeting us at the train
~ sonriing car, bearing US away,
se tos the parsenage where
We, were; met by some representative
men and women of the church. At
ter meeting us they left us imme-
dlately. We discovered, on. going
into the parsonage, that on the din
ing table was we'll prepared supper
and quite a number of things in the
grocery line for the pantry.
About one week later some of the
members of the country churches
came bringing, others sending, a
veritable load of good things to eat,
SO that for a long time we shall not
have 20 visit the groceryman.
Our car was unloaded and furni-
ture placed in the parsonage before
our arrival.
One gratifying thing is, that these
people are thoroughly loyal to their
church and denomination, and above
all, noble Christians, possessing, to
large degree, the spirit of self sac
riice.
So being already assured of the
heartiest cooperation and feeling
diyinely led, we, with buoyant hope,
enter upon the work of our new
field.
We solicit the earnest prayers OF
our Christian friends back at old
home," and give them hearty in
vitation 10 visit the 'manse'' of St.
George, if ever you would like to
come toward the coast.

1 AN SUIT OVE R 30,000 ACRES
 POTASH LAND

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug 3f.-The suit for the possession of the potash lands at Sarles lake attracted special attention because of the increased demand for potash in the manufac ture of explosives since the European war began.
 Although potash now is being ob- tained from kelp. a seaweed. it is said the demand Is much larger than the supply and development work has exhausted many of the deposits in the United States.
 Long litigation for possession of the Searles lake claims has prevented their being worked generally. How. ever, machinery has been installed anG the claims are believed to contain one of the largest deposits of potash ever discovered in this country.
 The so-called potash suit was insti. tuted by one of two groups of locat ors under the placer mining laws to quiet title to approximately 30,o0o acres forming the dry bed of Sarles lake, in mountain hollow" in the northwestern corner of San Bernar- dino county. The estimated value of the property is $5,O0.0OO, and it is said to be rich in deposit of potash. salt. borax and soda, both carbonate and bicarbOnate
