Flowers had been sent from all over

Daddy paused for moment and
then said: The pussy willow families
were there. Some had been found
which had not opened and which were
still in their warm little furry beds.
They were so sleepy and they loved so
to dream and nap at this time of year
MANY of the pussy willows too had
opened and were now lovely little
feathery flowers. And when all was
quiet the fairies came here and played
and this was what they heard:
"'Hello fairies,' said the rambler
roses. Some were pink and some were
red.
HELLO ramblers,' said the fairies.
"'HeIlo. fairies said some very big

SUSPECT SLAYER Of ARTHUR DESTEUNDER BETRAYED BY 4
 BIRTHMARk IS IN CUSTODY

getting companion for his long au- tomobile ride across the country, and his standing offer to take anyone along who would pay for the fuel and oil for his machine. It is said that his insistence on this topic created some talk among Kingman hearers, who wondered why the traveller should have found it so difficult to pick up a companion.
 Leaving Kingman, Martin went direct to his home town of Yettenl, which is on a branch off the Santa Fe line to San Francisco, and is To- cated in Tulare county.
 Saturday evening there was long distance conversation between Un- dersheriff Ed Bowers and Sheriff Court Smith of Tulare county, and Monday arrived telegram announc- ing the arrest the day before of Mar tin, and adding that the suspect would not wave eXtradition.
 County Attorney Neil Clark is prepared to battle viciously to secure the person of Martin through requi- sition on the governor of California, and the papers in the case went to Phoenix for Governor Campbell's wise yesterday, while an agent left at the same time for Visalia to serve them.
 A sidelight of much possible inter est was thrown on the. case yesterday when the authorities at Holbroow, having noticed accounts of the kill ing in the Journal-Miner, wired here that they had held Desteunder and Martin under observation on sus- picion of having robbed a store there on September 25. They were released for lack of evidence
 Although details of the blood stained journey across the state are being brought 10 light, nothing whatever has been learned that will supply a motive for the homicide.

PIONEER PERRY SILVER

From Long Beach, Cal, comes the important news that George NJ. Spi- cer and associates are contennplat- ing reviving the old Perry silver mine, nine miles south of the city on the Hassayanpa river, one of the units of the Gold Blossom company.
 During the early sos this mine came into renown on account of its high grade content and was shipper to Colorado. It's sale took place la ter. One of the principal owners dying stopped its career as a pro- ducer and litigation further handi- capped operations.
 The Elk, adjoining on the same belt, likewise had a brief productive record of sensationally high grade ore, but both suspended, due to the low price of the white metal.
 The Indian creek holdings of this company are to remain idle and all future work was centralized in the above silver

Representative of the women's clubs of northern Arizona gathered last night at III North Marina as guests of the Monday club, the oc- casion being the welcoming of the visiting members of other similar or ganizations.
 While the guests assembled, Pick erill's orchestra rendered romantic classical chamber music. The formal reception opened with a vocal solo by William H. Long, this being fol- lowed by the address of welcome by Mrs. F. A. Hathaway, president of the Monday Club of Prescott.
 Mrs. T. H. Cureton of Williams, president of the Northern Arizona Federation of Women's Clubs, made the response. In her opinion, the club movement had its beginning i'll the getting together of mothers to talk over the children's needs and united cooperation to benefit their offspring resulted ill further unity of purpose and action.
 Realizing the womens' club move ment is more popular than a genera ton ago, when caricatured as a short-haired female, with down at the heels children and cold lunch hus- bands, she asserted that a woman above all things wishes to be good looking, and hates a high, square forehead.
 While the number of club women in the United States is large, the help problem keeps many women from its benefits. Women might lock the chill dren in the house to have an after noon at bridge, but she had never heard of this being done so that the mother could attend a woman's club. The home of a club woman should be of first importance, and be made little heaven on earth.
 One of the problems of the clubs should be the simplifying of house keeping. Also the speaker recom- mended that the women find their tongues as readily at a current events or business session as when at sewing society, observing that the Apostle Paups injunction to keep silence" applied to churches and not to club life.
 Declaring that the purpose of the clubs was to be progressive in their influence, she appealed that each club .':ould be as progressive as the

| needs of the community, for club that never does anything will die for want of life The enlarged citi- zenship accorded to woman demand ed that she quit narrowness.
 For the club members she resigned the better half" and demanded merely an equal opportunity. Our homes mean just as much to us as they ever did, and they shall mean even more, but for several years past this nation has been conducting a campaign for democracy, and ii democracy means anything at all it means equality of opportunity"
 After the response, which was enthusiastically received, a reading by Mrs. T. H. Bates was followed by a piano solo, Miss Gladys Rufner at the piano. Miss Gladys Fox favored with vocal selection. By special re- quest Mrs. H. T. Southworth ap- peared in recitative interpretation. A well played violin number preceded the vocal solo of Miss Marjory Finn. Miss Schlueter's piano solo was quite pleasing as we'll as the vocal number by Gary Vyne Mrs. w. w. Ross followed with reading, the program concluding with a vocal solo, Miss Juanita Morrison, who was i'll splen- did voice.
 Today the credentials committee will register delegates from 9 a. III. to 9:3O. Council meeting, to 9:3O a. m. After being called to order by the district president, a short pro- gram of music will be given, after which committee appointments and reports will be the order of business.
 In the afternoon, following a vocal solo by Mrs. Lester Ruffner, officers will be elected, business and club re- ports finished, and then the club women will listen to a series of papers by Mrs. J. H. McClintock of Phoenix, Mrs. H. A. Guild of Phoe- nix and Mrs. K. w. Williams of Will liams. Miss Juanita Morrison will close the afternoon session with a vocal selection.
 These sessions are open to the women of the city who are interested in the advancement of the sex to an equal opportunity with men. For the club women, and those assisting them, a social evening at the home of Mrs. Dixon Fagerberg, 13O North Mount Vernon street, has been ar

(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Nichan Martin, garage owner at Yettem, California, was arrested Sunday by the sheriff of Tulare county, on suspicion of being the murderer of Arthur Desteunder, the former Canadian soldier, whose nut tilated and partly burned body was found lying on the desert near Yav- apai.
 The trail followed by the officers of Yavapai county led through the Canadian war office, where. by means of the serial number on his service button, Desteunder's name and home address were learned, and through the headquarters of the Chicago city detectives, where a description was obtained of the man who accompan- jed Desteunder on the fatally ter minating automobile pilgrimage from Providence, Rhode Island
 Martin is described as of medium height, with dark hair and eyes, and marked with a wine-colored blaze on his right cheek. He is thought to be of foreign extraction.
 The identification offered by the Chicago detectives checks up that given by number of persons living from Holbrook to Kingman, who saw the two men together during their memorable trek across north ern Arizona. Witnesses at Kingman include the keeper of the hotel atI which Martin put up the night fol- lowing the death of Desteunder. Martin, it is said, came into Kingnlan in a Hudson Super Six, alone, and registered as "hary Diver" a cir that local authorities be- lieve will be hard for him to explain. They believe that any man named Harry Dyer would know how to spell Harry Dyer.
 Martins talk around the Kingman hotel. according to witnesses, was all centered about the impossibility of

 Address of Welcome
 Mrs. F. A. Hathaway, president of the Monday Club, welcomed the del egates as follows:
 Madame President and members of Federation:
 Thy fellowship was my culture.
 noble friend, By the hand thou took'st me and
 dids't condescend To bring me straightway into thy
 fair guild,
 And lifelong hath it been high com
 plement
 By that to have been known and thy
 friend styled. Given to rare thought and to good
 learning bent Whilst in my straits an angel on me
 smiled;
 Permit me, then, thus honored still
 to be,
 A scholarship in try university
 During the past two years all clubs have felt the effect of the war and the influenza. General work and programs were laid aside for war work and during the flu ban all work was suspended.
 Now that conditions are gradually becoming normal, the clubs can again take up their regular work. I say regular work, but shall we do as much along the cultural lines as we did before?
 We have learned to conform our programs to more practical subjects. What I mean, then, by regular work is that we can work as a club, whereas during the war we merged with other organizations for the common good.
 After an interruption or a suspen- sion of work it is very difficult to get into the spirit of it again.
 Hence some reconstruction is ne- cessary even in our club work and most of all we need the inspiration and the enthusiasm that a meeting of the Federation brings.
 
 Yet there is a more delightful fea- ture of this meeting.
 This Federation is not such a large body that we need remain only acquaintanceship which began in Williams two years ago is ripening into friendship and each year we shall look forward to such a meeting as this with the happy anticipations of greeting friends, while the new clubs which come into the Fedora ton from time to time will serve to widen this circle.
 There is with us from the south a dear friend who has warm place in the hearts of the Prescott people and who knows we are ever ready to welcome her.
 We are glad that others also from the south can be with us. We deem it both and honor and a privilege to greet you and we sincerely appreci- ate your interest and cooperation. So welcome you, old friends, and new friends who will soon be old friends, in the name of the Monday Club and as a representative of its members. I cordially wei come you.

 dians of the plains were tame when
 compared with those of the Apache
 tribes of the Southwest. All this , time the chief of the Indians had lain
 close against the log cabin, just in the place where the corral joined it, directing the movements of his men while in safety himself. He lay close
 to the ground-hugged against the logs. There was no point within the cabin from which he could be reach ed Miller and his companion dis cussed the matter, and decided to risk their last bullet in an effort to get this man-for once he was killed or wounded they knew the fight would be over-for the time at least-since the loss of their leader always threw these Indians into panic. They did not know the exact location of the chief outside and Miller decided to reconnoitre - he crawled under his bunk, built at the back of the room and cautiously removed a bit of chinking and pOked his rife through. The end of the gun was caught by the Indian, but Miller wrenched ii away from him and sprang up. As he did so he displaced the bed clothes and accidently put his hand on an old horse pistol loaded with buckshot which had been forgotten. This gave him one more chance - one more shot. He also remembered what in the fight he had forgotten a small square hole like window near the head of his bed which was closed with a board which could be removed at will. With much caution he opened the hole and peeped out the chief lay directly below him watching the hole in the chinking through which the rife had just been pulled. His broad chest was exposed as he cramped his body to see better. Silently Miller lifted the pistol and poked it through the hole-then he fired and the Indian sprang up and backward twenty feet before he fell his breast torn in dozen places.
 The Indians rushed to him yelling wildly and bearing him among them stampeded up the hill. As they ran old man Miller flung open the door and with yell of triumph sent his last bullet after them and brought down an Indian. Late that evening the mail carrier passed the place and stopped to water his mules. By him Miller sent ill word of the fight to the troops at Fort Whipple, and a note to Mir. Wells telling him to come and get his cattle.
 MT. Wells went out the next morn ing and found the two men packing Up their belongings read to leave. Miller said that he had fought In dians since his boyhood, all over the United States from Kentucky to Washington, and this was his closest call-that he was an old man and had had enough of fighting. Mir. Wells told me that although the In- dians had carried off all their dead, the ground all along the outside of the corral was as bloody as a slaugh- ter pen" exactly like a barnyard in hog-killing time" He brought his cattle in to Prescott, and the same night the Indians returned and burn ed the cabin and corral to the ground.
 This ranch has for many years been occupied by Robert Blair as a cattle ranch, and is still known to at least, as the Burnt Ranch"
