cattle business. Soon he was in a
group watching a gaudily dressed in
dividual doing a sort of sleight of
hand trick with three cards on u
table.
Smooth guy, that" said someone at
his side. The remark was evidently
intended for Dave. and he turned
toward the speaker He was a man
somewhat smaller than Dave. two or
three years older well dressed in
town clothes, with q rather puffy face
and a gold-filled tooth from which a
corner had been broken as though to
accommodate the cigarette which
hung there.
YES" said Dave. Then, as it was
apparent the stranger was inclined to
be friendly, he continued, whats the
idea?"
The stranger nudged him gently.
Come out of the bunch" he said in
a low voice. When they had moved a
little apart he went on, in a confiden-
tial tone: 'He has a little trick with
three cards that brings him in the
easy coin, He's smooth as grease, bur
the things simple. Oh, it's awful
simple! Now you watch him for a
minute" and they watched through
an opening in the crowd about the
table. The player held three cards
two red ones and black. He passed
them about rapidly over the table, Oc-
casiOnally turning his hand sideways
so that the onlOOkers could see the
position of the cards. Then he sud
denly threw them face down on the
table, each card by itself.
'The trick is to locate the black |
card" Dawes companion explained. |
ITS easy enough if you keep your
eye on the card, but the trouble with
these rubes is they name the card and |
then start to get out their money, and |
while they're fumbllng for it he
makes a change so quick they never
see it. There's just one way to beat
him. Get up close, but don't say
you're getting Interested. Then when
you're dead sure of card crack your
list down on it. Glue yourself right
o it and get out your money with the
other hand. When he sees you do that
le'll try. to bluff you, say you amt
n on it; but you just tell him that
lon't go, this is an open game, and
les got to come through, and the
'rowd'll back you up. l stuck him
'nce-a whole hundred first crack
nd then he barred me. Watch him."
Dave watched. Saw the black card
% down at one corner of the board
aw a bystander fumbling for a FIVE
ollar bill; saw the bill laid on the
ard; saw it turned up-and 1t was
ed.
That is smooth" he said. 'Id "a
worn that was the black card"
$50 it was-when you saw it," his
explained. But you were /
lst like the sucker that played him. /

The American people have greater cause to celebrate the nations anniversary to- day than at any time of re- cent years, and with ou t doubt, greater cause to cele- brate fttingly than ever be- fore. The American soldiers have returned, or are return ing to their home land with the embfems of victory upon their standards---a victory of supreme right over grossest wrong, of democracy over autocracy, and we have the satisfaction of knowing that by force of the arms of our heroes, the battle has been won in the greatest crisis of the worlds history.
 Holbrook is to celebrate fittingly, and lets put into ii a vim which the realization of the meaning of the cele- bration justifies.
 The balloon ascension will be an event of great interest; the barbecue is keenly an- ticipated; the parade and the many sporting events will have their followers. Hol- brook is out to make this eel ebration an event in local history.
 Our paternal government, either town, county or na- tionai, has decreed that we shall not indulge too liber- ally in fireworks, fire crack CTS and the hundred and one noise producers so fondly re- membered by the past gen. eration, so everybody must try and make up the deficit in the noise balance by doing all they can in other direc7 tions to express their ex- Intolerance. Above all, don't forget the significance of the day-July 4th, 1919.

 The continual work at this well;1 A hours each day, has pushed the drill some 250 feet the past six days, a thick water strata having been encountered, the water standing some. 100 feet in the hole. A goodly supply of water is assured and cas- ing will be placed immedi- ately. The Coconino sand stone formation has been passed through and the drill ling is now in the Supai for nation. Work will be rushed as fast as possible under the Clampitt contract. Visitors will be welcome at this well at any time.

 The community is united in it's effort to rid the dis trct of trouble-makers and the houseceanG has just begun; there few others who under nvestga- On to their activities in aiding and abettng Adams and vigorous action will be taken upon proper evidence which we advised is being secured
 There no disposition in this community to take this matter lightly, and aside from two who are be- eved to sympathze with this latest move of the Wind Rver the seriousness of the situation apparent is anticipated that these gentlemen will be requested to go on record.
 Indicative of the feeling against claim jumpers in Arizona it may be mentioned that of the hotels in Hobrook has refused accommodations to any employee of the Wind River Company.
 The sentiment of the people of Arizona is best illus aed by the eegrams and expressions that from other portions of the state of which the following tee gram is sample:

 The Wind River company is reputed to carry fair sized bank balance and if it is desired any of this land which has been jumped it would have been easy matter to have negotiated reasonable sale for stock other considerations That they have adopted the wrong method of acquiring land in this field will be made apparent to them and to their representatives and to any others who may have like ideas.
 Adams and the Wind River company have been grant ed every consideration in this field heretofore, and it speaks strongly of naturap iratical policy when they will take such dastardy methods which will place them outside the pale in this community and instead of at tempting to become of us, feeling of an mostly which unfortunate for any company doing bus mess in this district.

 Work at this we'll has been suspended the past few days awaiting the arrival of a truck for water hauling, as it was found that team haul ing could not supply water fast enough for economically drilling the big hole. With a plentiful water supply all that is necessary is to await the truck mentioned. Word from the field has not reached us since the rain as to whether the company tank has been filled, placing water in closer proximity. In the meantime advantage is be- ing taken of the lay-off to fill the large tanks on the ground. This is all that is necessary to assure rapid progress as the rig is in ex- cellent condition.

Owing to the absence of Superintendent Bob Adams we have been unable to get data on this we'll the past week. It is assumed that the drilling crew on the ground headed by Jeff Nor rison, has resumed work after repairing or replacing the walking beam which broke last week. The water supply at this well was a matter of some concern be- fore the recent rain, but we are advised by those who have visited the field that the rain has furnished suffic- tent water to continue opera tions. This we'll should soon encounter the water strata which is known to exist, if it has not already been reached.
