Train Wins Right OfWayFrom Auto
 Latter is Wrecked
w. H. GRANT AND JACK SPARKES HAVE MAR VELOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH AT HUMBOLDT.
CFrom Sundays Daily)

w. H. Grant, who returned to Pres colt a few days ago with new, large and shiny automobile, knows now that he cannot buck Santa Fe train off its predestined course.
 The car, a large Cole 8, lies beside the railroad track in the town of Humboldt, in a much disheveled con- dition. Grant, who was driving and Jack Sparkes, his companion, escaped marvelopsly from similar state.
 The accident took place about 6:30 Friday evening. Grant and Sparkes had gone from here to Humboldt and were attempting to cross the tracks in the center of the town when the train disputed the right of way. The car struck the engine. Front wheels, radiator, lamps, and, in fact, the en- tire front end of the machine, was bent out of shape.

HAWKS BARN IS TOTAL LOSS
 BY FIRE
OF UNKNOWN ORI- GIN DESTROYS FRAME STRUCTURE AND ADJ JOINING FENCES; FIRST REAL FIRE IN A YEAR.
(Pron Sundays DaiIy)

Fire of unknown origin, almost totally destroyed a good-sized frame barn in the rear of Thomas Hawks residence on South Granite street late yesterday afternoon. The blaze ate through the light dry tinbers rapidly, and the alarm being slightly late in sounding. there was little the fire department could do to save the structure when it arrived.
 In spite of hastily formed bucket brigade, the fire took in several fences and some adjoining small sheds and was burning right merrily when the first truck arrived ahead of an enthu- siastic gathering of fire fans. One line of hose was laid, and the high pressure stream soon drove the fire back to its original barn. The barn was we'll built and there was consid- erablc wood to burn, so it took over half an hour to quench the last em- bers. A horse was rescued from the barn just in the nick of time. The loss included considerable stable equipment, including lot of tools The exact loss could not be learned It was the nearest to serious fire Prescott has had for over year.

CAPACITY FOREST RANGE INCREASES
 MANY HEAD

WASHINGTON, March 3l. - Ap- proved grazing allowances for the national forests during the coming season provide for the pasturing of S,400,l55 sheep, 2,l20,l45 cattle and horses, and 54,S80 swine. These fig ures, compared with those of last year, represent an approximate in- crease of lll,0OO cattle and horses and a decrease of about 200, 900 sheep. Grazing experts of the forest service figure that for purposes of range al- lotment ono COW is equal to five sheep. Consequently the increase of III, 900 cattle and horses is held to be equivalent to a net increase of 5000 sheep. or 7l,OO0 cattle, over the total number of stock grazed last year.
 The decrease in the number of sheep is said to be caused by the ac- ton of owners who are disposing of their flocks in order to buy cattle. In most cases the reason is not because of greater profits in handling cattle, but because the rapidly changing con- ditions on the open ranges, where sheep have been handled in the past, make it increasingly difficult to find feed for this class of stock during the months when deep snow prohibits grazing on the national forests.

ONE ROASTING IS SUFFICIENT
 SAYS JUDGE
STANFORD TO HOLD UP ALL RULINGS U NTIL CONTESTEE RESTS AND THEN TAKE MEDICINE IN SINGLE DOSE.

PHOENIX, April 2.-Miami No. 3 and Globe No. ? were recounted for the second time this morning before Judge Stanford in the Superior court where the Hunt-Campbell contest has been the main attraction for the past two months. The precincts were gone over again to correct an error made at the first counting when the number of ballots did not tally with the total the court inspectors reported. Doug las No. } was completed and nettcd Campbell gain of one.
 The court announced that the de- cision of Snowflake would be held up until the contestce rested its case. The reason for this, Judge Stanford asserted, was to avoid spreading the contest out indefinitely, and to escape the scathing reports of newspapers over the State.
 If I hold all future decisions and dispose of them all at the same time. Judge Stanford said in substance, will get one big roasting and it will be all over. l should have reserved all rulings until the end of the contest As it happened every time l made a decision papers supporting one side or the other denounced me as scath- ingly as they dared. In this way complimentary remarks were made about me in almost every paper at different times. If had held my de- cision on Douglas No. l the contest ant probably would not have offered Snowflake.
 There are several precincts the con- testee intended to eliminate in case Snowflake was thrown out but which would not be introduced if the courts decision allowed Campbelrs majority lO Slduu DlllIC lIC SOull GApltSSCu an inclination to withhold the ruling, Judge Sloan is preparing to gather evidence regarding irregularities in five or six precincts.
 That the Hunt side will have to produce evidence to show the validity of g ballots which were in excess of the number of votes cast, was the ruling made by the court Saturday afternoon. As this is practically i'm possible, the Campbell forces are con- fident that Hunts gain will be reduc- ed by 73 votes which will mean that the throwing out of Snowflake will not give Hunt the majority, or to be exact. will still leave Campbell Y votes in the lead.

 The road is to be standard gauge, all the bridges of proper construc- ton. and some claim will cost S50,000 per mile. Application has been made to the land department of the Fed eral government for certain portions of the proposed right of way and oth- CT portions of the right of way have been purchased and contracts have been let for the acquisition of termin- als.
