Squaw Registers as Alien.

The squaw wife of Wm. Beck, the local Indian trader, though real, sure enough American, being an American Indian, registered recently as an alien enemy. This is perhaps the only incident in the United States where an American Idian becomes an alien enemy under the government regulations. Mrs. Beck is a New Mexico born Navajo Indian. Through her marriage to Mir. Beck, who has been resident of the United States the past twenty-five years, she comes under the alien regulations.-Gallup Independent.

DOES HOOVER APPROVE?

While Pete Berry does not deny or affirm having beaten the sheriff out of Missouri by a narrow margin some seventy or eighty years ago, his friends around Flagstaff are wonder ing why he has camouflaged his face with undergrowth just recently, when he came into town from the big ditch. All his friends were under the impress sion that the last witness had died back east years ago. So far as we know, Mir. Hoover has not hooked on the barbers as useless outfit.

Aged Yavapai Prospector Found
 Dead at His Camp.

Charles Thompson of Wagoner was found dead in bed at his camp near that place recently. Deceased was about 80 years of age at the time of his demise, and because of the fact that he had died while alone, the cor oner was called to hold an inquest. Justice McLane went there on Tues day and held an inquest and it was found that the mans sudden ending had been due to heart disease. Thomp- son had been doing little prospecting and was making his headquarters with other mining men, having been living in tent for some time.
 While Thompson bore the nickname "Horsethief," the name had not been pinned on him by way of casting any aspersion on the man, but was given to him because he had once owned what was known as the Horsethief Range, located in the Horsethief mountains in the southern part of the county.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

Butterflies Attack the Alfalfa Crop.

Butterflies Attack the Alfalfa Crop.
 Alfalfa fields in the Chandler, Gill bert and Mesa districts have been at- tackled by swarms of yellow butter flies, with result that ranchers have been obliged to cut their third crop from 10 to 12 days earlier than they anticipated.
 This is the first time in the history of the valley, say old-timers, that but terflies of this species have ever been menace to a growing crop. They are small specie, measuring not more than one and one-quarter inches from wing tip to wing tip. This, the third cutting, is the only one affected by the pest. The dam- age done is comparatively negligible so far owing to the vigilance of farm CTS, who foresaw the impending men, ace and took steps to counteracct the same.
 These butterflies, it is claimed, eat the leaves off the alfalfa and do other material damage to the crop. By cut. ting early, however, the bulk of the crop has been saved.-Phoenix Ga. zette.
