movement throughout the country

Tucson, has come forward with a
most generous offer to all farmers
in the surrounding counties inter
ested i'll the planting of wheat.
The Eagle Milling Company pro-
poses to send to the Northwest and
purchase all Early Barr seed wheat
that would be required by the es-
tablished farmers of this district
and the district contributory to
Tucson.
This wheat will be distributed
free of charge not only for use on
the land they have under cultiva-
ton but upon land they will be
urged to clear for the planting of
seed. The supply will be bounti-
full and the poor farmer as we'll as
the rich farmer will be treated alike
in the golden harvest.
This seed being of the highest
grade obtainable will cost the Eagle
Milling Company about $500 per
hundred pounds. It will cost the
farmer nothing.
In return for the seed the Eagle
Milling Company asks only that
when the crop is harvested, that
that the exact amount of seed Civ
Ell will be first returned TO the Ea-
gle Mill. The farmer is not asked
to pay for the seed under any cir

amount furnished must be returned
first. After that, in consideration
for the investment of the Eagle Mill,

may be at harvest time, or at the
time of delivery, the Eagle Mill
pledges itself to pay that price
There will be no quibbling.

the crops of the district by the Ea-
gle Milling Company, not less

to the rise in price of tungsten,

with some silver and less valuable
minerals intermixed.

A Pioneer Arizonan
Still on the Job
Officer jeff Milton Took His
Part in Stirring Scenes
(Arizona Cattleman)

jeff Milton, one of the oldest
immigration officials in Arizona,
mas been making Naco his head
quarters for some time doing spe-
cial work Mr.. Milton has exper-
fenced much hard service along
the border during the years he has
served the government, and has
had many narrow escapes in the
performance, of his duties. The
upper part of his left arm was shot
in two some years ago, yet Mr..
Milton uses this arm with almost
the facility he does the other one.
This arm was shot in fight with
train robbers, when the Owens
brothers, of Sulphur Springs val
ley, and others held up the train
at Fairbanks. Jeff was on duty
as Wells Fargo messenger, run
ming at that time between Benson
and Guaymas. AS the train pulled
into Fairbanks, going south, guns
were showed at Milton, and COM
mand given to throw out the strong
box. Instead he seized his sawed
off shotgun and opened fire, hit
ting Cnrley Bill in the left side and
arm. In turn Jeff was hit in the
arm and dropped his gun, but he
staggered back into the car iHan
attempt to reach his AS, which
was on his desk in the corner of
the car, but the shock and loss Of
blood weakened him quickly. He
fell to the floor, where he lay,
when two of the outlaws entered
the car, and sticking their guns to
his head, demanded the keys to
the strong box. Shoot" said
Milton. Il threw them away when
the fight started They didn't t
shoot, however, but broke open
the box and found it empty. All
they got was about 500 in Mexi-
can silver that lay in a sack beside
the box,
They were after the government
payroll, but that had gone on the
train the day before to Fort Hua-
chuca.

Arizonas responsibility to do her part
in the present exigency lies equally upon
every member of our citizenship. Shall
we not bury such differences as molest

The robbers then mounted and
rode away with their wounded
man, who was afterwards captured
by the Cochise county officers. He
lived only long enough to give the
names of his confederates, who
were afterwards captured and sent
to the penitentiary.
Mr.. Milton is one of the pictur-
esque old time peace officers of the
West and has had many thrilling
adventures. He was born i'll Lou
isiana, but came to Texas when a
boy, and joiced the Texas rangers
as soon as he was old enough, He
served several years on the frontier
with this band of noted peace Off
GERS. Then he served as peace Off
Ger and cattle detective in Texas
for some time before coming to
Arizona.
While serving as Wells-Fargo
messenger on the run from Benson
to Guaymas, he was detailed to
run down and capture the outlaws,
Broncho Bill, Red Pipkin and a
fellow by the name of johnson.
Taking the late George Scarboro
and young Thacker, son of the
chief of We1ls-Fargo detectives
with him, he took up the trail in
the mountains north of Clifton and
finally located them on the Blue,
where in a fight Milton killed
Broncho Bill and wounded John
son. and Pipkin got away. The
outlaws were coming down the
bank of the river across from the
officers camp and Milton happened
to be alone, the other two having
gone out to look for their horses.
AS soon as the outlaws spied Mil
ton they opened fire, but never hit
him. The fight wound up as above
related. AS soon as they reached
a point where they could send
telegram, Milton wired headquar-
tiers as follows:
Send a doctor and one coffin. -
Milton has had many other SINH
lar experiences but we haven t the
space to mention them at the time.
For several years he has been in
the immigration service of the y. S.
government and has done good and
efficient work.
