in earnest and half in fun. But SO
long as even one little girl is thirsty
for knowledge, I will try 10 tell her
so she may understand.
Rain Is water divided up into lit
tie drops that get 80 heavy in the
sky that they may no longer float on
the atmosphere and necessarily fall
to earth. The Chinese name for rain
Is lux sui.' or falling water
Water is an element which may
exist In many different forms. The
largest beds and sheets Of water are
called oceans. sea- and lakes. The
rivers are ribbons; the brooks,
threads and the ponds, dots, in the
fabric and pattern Of Mother Earth's
dress
Nobody has ever presumed to say
whether there is more water In the
air or on earth. But we know that
our atmosphere which extends at
least one hundred miles outwardly
from the surface Of the earth. is ever

Charles Moore Reoppears

Last Friday evening Harvey
 Moore, of the local Postal Tele-
 graph office, received a message
 from his sister in Amarillo, Tex
 as, stating that their brother
 Charles, who had been missing
 since July 5 when he disappeared
 from a United States engineer
 ing corps near Frazer, Colo, was in Amarillo. Later advices from Amarillo state that the young man had been working for several weeks in that city, that he had forgotten his own name and his previous places of resi- dence, not remembering that he had formerly resided in Amarillo.
 Young Moore was but 20 years old and at the time of his dis appearance was employed in an engineering corps of the U. s. forest service near Frazer. Or the morning of July 5 he left his camp for the purpose of check ing up some work done on the previous day, stating to his com panions that he would return by noon. From that time until last Friday all trace of him was lost. despite the fact that his family and his friends, and the state authorities of Colorado. had done everything possible to find him.
 His mother in Holbrook had never abandoned the belief that her son would be found and his father was in Colorado pursuing the search when the news of his sons re-appearance reached him.
 Beyond a doubt the young mans disappearance was caused by a sudden attack of aphasia. or loss of memory, brought on by oyer mental work and the nervous strain of liv- ing in the high altitude of the Rocky mountains. How he travelled from Frazer, Colo. to Amarillo. Texas. will probably remain mystery. That he has come again into possession of his mental faculties, and is regain ing physical health is cause for rejoicing in hIs family, and among his many friends in. Hol- brook.

!. HI. Mickey Stops RunGway Team

L.H. Mickey Stops RunGuDay Team
 Last Saturday evening L. H. Mickey, local livestock inspector, gave a splendid exhibition of ex- pert horsemanship in stopping a runaway team belonging to H. P. Bushman. of St. Joseph. MT. Mickey was sitting on his saddle horse near the Santa Fe station when he saw the Bushman team. which had been left by the driver in front of the Old Trails hotel, start down the road towards St. Joe. He at once started Tn pur- suit, overtaking the runaway team before it had reached the town limits and turning it north in the street running to the new school house. When the team had reached the Wetzler addi- tion MT. Mickey rode to the siGe of one of the horses, caught the bridle rein and succeeded in bringing both horses to stop.
 Those who saw MT. Mickey's fine exhibition were enthusiastic in praise of his action.

Harness Races at State Fair

If early indications are a crite- rion, the harness races at the State Fair this fall will be by far the largest ever held in the Southwest.
 Friday. September first, was the closing day for entries in colt races, and from the enthu- siasm shown by local horsemen this year. these races will prove to be one of the big drawing cards of the Fair.
 With the closing date for en- tries in the aged horse events still four weeks away, Secretary Shaughnessy reports that he al- ready has more entries for these events than were received al- together last year. The fact that the Arizona State Fair is held late in November after all the other race meets are over tends to draw the horsemen from all sections of the country. The horses on the grand circuit and the great western circuit will work south and wind up in Phoenix. The same can be said of those racing on the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coasts cir cults.
 Efforts are being made to in- duce horsemen from all parts of the country to winter in Arizona, as the climate of this section affords ideal training quarters for horses the year around, and it is believed that several of the big eastern horsemen will winter theIr stables on the state fair grounds thls winter.

Alleged Murderers Caught

Wednesday morning of last
 week Undersheriff w. G. Clemons
 arrested in Holbrook two men
 wanted in Joplin, Mo-. for mur-
 der. The names of the men are
 Bob Adams and F. 0. Brown,
 and their arrest was made upon
 telegraphic advices received by the sheriff's office from the au- thorities at Joplin.
 Adams, Brown and third man named Gene Jarrett are charged with the murder of a saloonkeeper named Mike Dona- hue, whom they held up and at tempted to rob about midnight August 12 in Joplin. Donahue resisted the robbers and was shot and killed by them. Jarrett was arrested shortly after the crime was committed and made a confession duplicating Adams and Brown. The two latter had left Joplin the night of the mur- der, and had been located here by telegram Adams sent to pal in Coffeyville, Kans., asking for money.
 Monday morning Harry J. Mead, c. E. SIevin and w. Bridges. deputy sheriffs in Jop- lin, arrived in HoIbrook with re- quisition papers and at Il o'clock that night left for Joplin with the prisoners, Adams and Brown.
 To the editor of The News MT. Mead stated that Brown and Adams are notorious gamblers and that their companion in crime, Jarrett, is a saloonkeeper. All three men have evil reputa- sions and their conviction of the attempted robbery and murder s almost sure.
 A reward aggregating $500 lad been offered for the arrest md conviction of Adams and Brown, and Undersheriff Gle mons, who effected their capture, expects to get the money.
