I don't often like to assume an 'T-told-you- attitude but the business I did in my store yester- day simply went to prove that my belief was right, the public likes to have the merchant lay his cards on the table and make a frank state ment as to why each successive step in his business is required
 I. said that I had no axe to grind and that in making the 20fo dis count that I am now giving on clothing and shirts and the 10eo dis count on all other articles in our haberdashery line we were doing so simply because we needed the money and because we preferred to give our customers the benefit of the reduction rather than to pay the banks interest and to ad the cost to the price the customer has to pay.
 You know that in my store when we reduce the price of clothing 2O%d we are taking the very heart out of the profit because this institution is based on the live and let live policy and does not have the basis of high prices that can be subse- quently cut for apparent affect. We don't see that in this circumstance we need have anything to hide We are not oyerstocked, no shipment of goods has been forced on us, 1t is sfranIy the circumstance that re- ouires that we take in our money right now or pay interest to banks to secure money and it gives you the opportunity to save from " 10 goo on a suit of clothes and 2O@o on sbirts and 1O9o on all mems haber- dasberv.

double murder has received tempo rary setback, the officers assigned to the case state that in checking up the alleged confession of Barboa they have unearthed valuable leads whick may materially aid them Tn solving this mystery which has been puzzling the police and men of the sheriffs office since the night of the murder, June s.
 Members of both the sheriff's of flee and the city police department have never halted their investigations. even though Barboa was held as the confessed perpetrator of the terrible deed. While some of the officers have been Investigating the movements of Barboa, the remainder of the force as signed to the case have been busy working on the original theory of the crime.
 Not Done for Robbery.
 Certain facts about some of the tooSs used by the murderer of the aged couple have come to light in the in vestigation of the Mexicans confeS-' sion which, according to the officers, have given an entirely new angle to the case and confirms the concerted opinion of all the officers that the crime was not committed for robbery. The facts about the tools. the officers say, have brought the solution much nearer and will aid them greatly in finding the guilty one
 With Barboa as a shield the officers have accomplished much in their eff forts to solve the terrible crime, they say Many investigations were made possible, they state, under the guise that they were Investigating the con- fession of the Mexican and endeavor- ing to secure information that would convict him. In reality they were working out clues along another theory and connecting up the links in the chain
 To Bring Barboa Here.
 It is thought that Barboa will be brought to Phoenix and given a. hear ing in a local justice court in the very near future. Feeling certain that Barboa. is not the man who committed the crime and that he knows nothing about it. the officers believe that he will be released from the charge fol- lowing the hearing. That he should be tried for insanity and committed to the asylum is the opinion of all who

APPLY FOR WATER n
 |RRIGATE 276.231
 ACRES IF NEW LAND

Seventy four applications for water have been filed in the office of W. $. Norveil, state water commissioner since the first of October, according to the records of the office. Twenty six of the applications have been for reservoirs. four for enlargements, and the remainder for appropriation ef water from springs, making a total of 276.2S1 acres of new land to be re- claimed.
 The applications have been filed from all over the state, although the majority are asking for water in Yuma and Maricopa counties, many being pumping propositions for lands in the cotton belt. Quite a number of the filings from Mohave. Yavapai and Pinal counties are on springs wanted for watering purposes for live stock
 The Stene Consolidated Copper com pany recently applied for permission for a dam and reservoir for power purposes in Yuma county on the Will jams river. Other filings have been made on the water, after it has been used for power, to be used for irriga- tion, the total involved being 125, ,0O0 acres in Yuma

in which Sauer upheld his own from start to finish, notwithstanding the ad- vantage of his opponent in the matter of weight and experience.
 DaViscourt Real Sportsman
 But Daviscourt proved himself real sportsman--a wrestler that Phoenix fans will always welcome back. Tn a short talk after the accident he ex- pressed his regret and announced that he would split the purse with the local favorite, although the men had agreed to wrestle on a winner ta6e-all basis. He was cheered to the echo.
 Up to the time of the accident the match had developed more thrills, ex- citement and sensations than any of the season. The men went at 1t in earnest from the very outset and kept up a break neck pace until the accident brought a sudden and unexpected ter imitation to the proceedings.
 DaviScourt won the first fall in 20 minutes 2 seconds, after both men had displayed exceptional cleverness in squirming out of holds that appeared unbreakable. In this they were about evenly divided, for both found them selves in numerous tight places during the first 25 minutes. At 25 minutes however, Daviscourt suddenly seized his lighter opponent in a cradle hold and had pinned his shoulders to the mat
 Sauer Wins Second
 Sauer took the second fall in min utes l second, with a hammerlock that made Daviscourt vince with pain. Pete had previously secured a half dozen hammerlock holds, only to lose them when Daviscourt would squirm off the mat. Finally, he applied an arm scis- sors with a hammerlock in mid-rinS and there was no escape.
 The third fall started in whirlwind fashion, the big fellows travelling at pace that would make lightweights gaze in wonderment- There was little to choose between them up to the time that Pete tried the flying mare that resulted so disastrously to himself
 The biggest crowd of the season was on hand to witness the match. Two fast preliminary wrestling matches preceded the main go and the city

WILL USE AUTO BIS
 FUR PICNIC TRIPS

Although there are many delightful picnic resorts in the vicinity of Phoe- nix, means of transporting large par ties to them have been long a trouble some question. Realizing this the Union Auto Transportation company has removed it's newly-built 24-pass- enger auto bus from regular stage runs for the purpose of devoting it to picnic parties.
 Not only is this commodious motor vehicle made available for picnic par ties, but ih addition the auto company places the car in charge of a driver who-is thoroughly familiar with every nook and beauty spot in the Salt River valley. Information concerning any picnic grounds near Phoenix may be obtained al the office of the stage company. Several picnic parties availed themselves of this unusual service last week.

SAUER SUFFERS
 COMBUSTION BY
 FALL; LOSES GO
Attempt at Flying Mare Causes Downfall of Local Favorite-Each Man Had
 Won a Fall Prior to Acci- dent-Nick to Split Purse

Pete Sauer was beaten for the first time in Phoenix last night, but not until after he had been rendered un- conscious by a fall that caused a slight concussion of the brain. Even Davis court, the victor, did not realize the seriousness of the third and deciding fall of the match until he had crawled from the prostrate form of his ad- versary.
 So sudden did the thing happen that the big crowd was slow to come into realization. Even the referee and sec onds of the two wrestIers failed to grasp the situation at the moment and the loyal favorite lay where he had fallen for several seconds before eff forts were made to revive him. Then doctor. ring attendants, and Davis court made futile efforts to bring back consciousness to one of the gamest grapplers the game has ever known.
 Sauer Carried From Ring
 For fully 10 minutes first aid treat ment was administered without effect, and then Daviscourt picked up the un- conscious form in his big arms and carried it to the dressing room.
 Mrs. Sauer. who always attends matches and roots for her husband, became hysterical when she realized the condition of her husband and it was several minutes before she could be quieted.
 It was Sauer's grit that caused his downfall in the third and last fall of the match after he had held the big Californian to even terms in the first two falls by taking the second fall Outweighed 32 pounds, he tried the flying mare on Daviscourt. This is a hold in which one man throws another over his head onto the mat Pete raised the big fellow high in the air and was then seen to falter, as if weakening. In flish Daviscourt had clamped on a head scissors and the two men struck the floor with a thud, Saue~ underneath. It was a dramatic finish to a match filled with sensations
