SHELTER PROOF CROPS
 FOUND BY FARMER

DOUGLAS, Dec. 3.-Selection of crops that will resist shelter smoke has made Dr. A. w. Vanneman a successful farmer in spite of the handicaps that face residents of min ing towns.
 Dr. Vanneman has not only looked after the health of the community, but he has also conducted independ- ent investigation in crops so that he can give many professional farmers pointers.
 Asparagus, onions, cabbage, cauli- flower and sweet potatoes are the best crops for this district" he said. This year l had in 20 acres of Avon dale maize which did we'll until the shelter smoke hit 1t. Then I had a third of a crop.

GOOD INDIAN" PUT ONE
 OVER ON THE BOYS
(From Thrrsdav,s DaiIv.N

An old Wallapai Indian died near this city a few weeks ago and was laid away under the rites of his tribe on bier erected about five feet above ground in sequestered nook among the pines three miles west of the city. This episode was unknown to the pale face, and had it not been for the in quisitive nature of four youths of Prescott, the incident at some time future date might have startled this community in cowardly murder be- ing revealed by the discovery of bleached bones of a human skeleton.
 But with thanks to Frank SChemer and three companions the morbid atmosphere is cleared of any foul crime, the official sleuths are throt- tied, and the inquest machinery is in active. These youths were out hunt ing birds and trudged through over two feet of snow. Clustered under a big juniper tree were four pieces of fence rails standing upright, on which were lying several slabs of tagging, the whole being capped over with about two feet of nice white snow. The boys started to dig in, and the two on each side at the head appear ed to have made the first definite de- examinations. They let out yell which would discount the thrill of ed man on the war path, and taking the cue the other two were close sec ords in the liveliest race ever pulled 1f in this section. The first pair seemed to have hit the shallow place md when the gruesome, features of the good injun" were revealed the imagination needs no embellishing for
 he gloom or the horror which seized this quartette of tender urchins to beat it back to town. There is noth- ing further to be learned from them, IS their inquisitorial mien came to sudden and emphatic declaration: We hadn't lost any InJuns.
 This custom of the Wallapais in caring for their dead in such a man. ner has been devoutly observed for many years in Arizona, but in later lays has been modified in practice from earlier times. Heretofore all personal effects of the deceased have been destroyed with the corpse which was placed on a bier above ground, and left to its fate, some cases being known also in the long ago when the squaw and papooses of the dead war rior also joined the departed one in the happy hunting ground" This cruel custom has been avoided, how ever, and in this day the stripping of the remains of anything Of value gives way to a transition of the old tradi- ton into a modern custom to get away with everything i'll sight.

TAILOR GETS IN BAD
 ON COAT REPAIR JOE
(FrJm Fridays Dally.)

Charges of assault and battery. a misdemeanor and of robbery, a fel- ony, were preferred against R. J. Levy, proprietor of the Prescott Tail ors company, yesterday by Eliza B. Jones, d nurse at Whipple Barracks. Levy was placed in jail pending the discovery of bondsmen.
 The charges grew out of alleged overcharging for rcmodeling a uni form coat, valued at $50 The plain tiff had put the coat in Levy's hands to have it taken in and shortened, and when presented with bill for $l0, is said to have asked other nurses at the post what they thought of it. On advice, it is said, she offered Levy s for his services, but he locked the door of his shop and proceeded to re- move the coat forCibly from the per- son of the customer, according to the story related 10 the county attorney.

OVER THE RANGE GO TWO MORE
 PIONEERS
(From Thursdays Daily)

Telegrams from San Francisco yes. terday brought news of the death of Morris Asher, which occurred during the forenoon of Wednesday, the end being anticipated from previous in- formation given. The fatal illness was cancer of the stomach, which seized him suddenly less than one month ago, and while he was appar- ently in the best of health. He left this city on November 20, to receive special treatment, in which operation was his wish to be performed.
 MT. Asher was one Of the best known of Arizona pioneers, first ar irving in Phoenix in 1874 and in 1876 he came to Prescott to engage in business with a brother, Henry Asher who survives, and is now in San Francisco visiting. The deceased during all of the years since that time has made his home continuous ly in this city, being with the N. Levy & Go. house up to the last.
 The deceased became widely and favorably known in this section for his generous disposition, genial na- ture all dgood fellowship. He IS sur vived by sister, Mrs. Meyer, of New York city, two brothers, Henry Asher of Sioux City, Iowa, and Solomon Asher of Oroville, California. Mrs. Nathan Levy, of Prescott, is a niece, and who was at his side when the end came. He was born in Germany about 66 years ago, coming to the United States when a mere boy. On attain ing his majority he was naturalized as a citizen at Phoenix in 1874. It is probable burial will be given ill San Francisco ia the family plot.
 Peter Gautriaud.
 The above Arizona pioneer, who had made Prescott his home for nearly quarter of century, passed away yesterday after an acute attack of Bright's disease, surviving only for a short time after being stricken, al though for some years he had been a sufferer from this afhiction. Yester- day morning he arose and attended to his business at the Fafayette rooming house, and retiring to his room commenced to rapidly decline, the end coming in less than three hours.
 Mir Gautriaud arrived in Tucson early in the sos, was naturalized in that city in 1887, and was a native of France, reaching the age of 69 years at his death. During all of the many years he had made Prescott his home there are only kind words and good deeds to say of him, while his citizen ship was exemplary, and his generos- ity gave him splendid name. He is survived by a widow, and burial will probably be given in this city.

matter, as a case of profteering, and is said to have started an investiga- ton through the chamber of com merce.
 It is said this is not the first case of alleged overcharging. Levy was released after being confined for a couple of hours, and went out in GUS tody of Deputy Sheriff Tommy Thompson to try to secure cash bail, fixed by Justice of the Peace McLane in the sum of $500
 Levy recently established himself in business here. He is said to have come from Iowa, where he was con nected with the camp exchange at Camp Dodge, one of the national army cantonments. He has a wife and nearly grown son.

 It could not be learned what spe- ci6c lines are to be sold, but it was definitely stated, however, that a gen eral cleanup of desirable household goods was the motive, and of such a high class quality as to receive the approval of the government. It was also intimated that the purpose was to maintain this store indefinitely and the business would be conducted by federal employees conversant with the varied character of the goods to be placed before the public.

FLIES PROVE A
PEST ON BRIDGE
Citizens Protest Against
Leaving Bodies of In
sects on Walks.

Pedestrians crossing the DeMers
avenue bridge during the week, early
morning or late at night and between
times, have found it necessary often
times to watch their step, but not for
the reason as would have applied in
the days gone by. It seems to be an
opinion somewhat general among the
business people who find it necessary
to makes several trips across the bridge
that there is cause for grievance in
the fact that no endeavor seems to be
made to clear the walks Of the swarms
OF river flies that accumulate on the
bridge during the night attracted by
the electric lights.
A veritable carpet Of the bodies of
these insects cover the walks under
each light every morning, and are left
IN the pathway Of passengers. Aside
from the fact that these insects are
most d~isagreeable to pedestrians, bust
ness men today said that the appear
ance of the bridge, covered with these
swarms Of flies should call forth the
attention of city officials, to take some
action and have the remains of each
nights frolic cleared away sometime
during the day.
