A $1,000 cattle loss has been saved
to the cattlemen of the Camille hill
country through the operations OF
three trappers and hunters. W. E. Mus
grave of the biological bureau report
ed Yesterday. The trappers killed three
wolves and one mountain lion, each OF
which under ordinary conditions
would kill at least $1,000 worth OF cat
tie every year. The district is infested
with wolves from Mexico. Mr. Mus
grave announced. One trapper mas
been placed in the north end OF 1u-
macacori district, at the Arivaca ranch,
where predatory animals have been re-
ported. Mr. Musgrave will next take
up the wolf and coyote problem on
Jack McVey's ranch. The Arizona
Woolgrowers' association has agreed
to share with the government the cost
of poisoning the lambing areas west oil
Pohenix for the destruction OF coyotes,
with the fesult that the biological bu-
reau will put half a dozen men IN the
field to do the work.
Third in the series of bean fires
which have occurred in this valley I'M
der most suspicious circumstances, a
big stack of unthreshed beans was
burned last night on the ranch OF DR..
S. d. futile mile north of Glendale.
Il is estimated that the loss may reacn
$4,000. The fire started at 9 o'clock
last night and the entire crop OF beans
from 20 acres on the futile ranch
was destroyed before the fire was
brought under control. This third fire
brings the total lost in burned beans
stacked in the fields up to many thou
sands of dollars and in each case II
is believed that the fire was Incen-
diary in nature. Glendale officers at
once started working os the case but
admit that clues are wanting to enable
them to work effectively. The sher-
ifs office was also notified and an Of
ficer from that department went at
once to the scene of the fire.

news spread about Nogales that the
prisoner would be released if he could
prove his statement 10 the judge that

offered to climb the tall flagpole IN
the court house square and the judge
accepted the offer. A large crowd
gathered to see the prisoner climb to
