SKELETON IS FOUND IN DESERT

YUMA-While prospecting out on the desert near Holtville, Newt Gray, one of the best known of the old-tim- CTS in the valley, made a gruesome discovery of desert bleached skele- ton.
 The discovery was made while Gray was out in the country southeast of Holtville, and there was nothing of any kind in the vicinity which might be used as clue in ascertaining the identity of the unfortunate victim of the deserts heat.
 There are some who are inclined to the theory that the bleached bones are those of party of three or four Mex jeans who were lost out on the desert three or four years ago. Searching parties at that time discovered the bodies of two of the Mexican party, but no trace of the other two of the party was found It is advanced by the speculative ones remembering the former tragedy, that the bones dis covered Friday by Newt Gray were those of one of the men who were un- discovered by the searching party of several years ago. In this case, it is considered likely that another skeleton will be found not far from the place where this discovery was made.

Additional State Ne,us

from 9 years of age and up, whom he would attract by the music of har- monica"
 On September 20, Pease quit his job and left Rock Falls, supposedly for Arizona, taking with him Charles w. Nichols, IA year old son of Bert c. Nichols and Della Nichols. The description of the boy is as follows: Light brown hair, grey eyes, height 5 feet, 4 inches, weight about 11O pounds, fair complexion, dimple in chin, tusk tooth right upper jaw, wore blue serge suit, grey cap, black sweater with orange collar and stripe around body.
 Chester Pease is robust, feet, 10 inches or 6 feet, blue eyes, light brown hair, hairy mole on right side of chin and is quite talker.
 The letter says that the father of the missing boy is a poor man work ing by the day in a factory and is not able to pay more than S100 reward for the return of his son or informa- tion as to his whereabouts. He asks in closing that any information be wired to the chief of police of Sterl- ing, Illinois.

NO OPPOSITION IN PHOENIX TO CLOSING FAIR |

The proposition now being advanced to shut down the state fair for a few years is meeting with no considerable opposition in Phoenix. A local busi- ness man said:
 Phoenix and the Salt River valley pay for the fair, anyway. About 19 of every 20 people who go through the gates are from Phoenix and Mari copa county. Hardly 50 out of a thousand are from outside the county, that is, of Arizonans. The hotels, restaurants and few lines of mer- chandising profit during the fair week, but the rest of them are paralyzed. By and large, the fair hurts the town financially, for it stops industry in a time when every wheel should be turn ing. Of course, Phoenix benefits by the influx of even the 300 outsiders day who come in during fair week as spectators, but there is question whether the city is not paying a very heavy price for the advertisement"
 This year there was no effort to bring in the headliners in harness rac- ing and the card was not good one. Yet the grand stand was crowded in the last three days of the week. There was complaint, however, that the old practice was followed with respect to the auto racing, in which the big mon- ey went to events designed to draw here some of the fastest coast talent. On this ground, an attempt is being made to reinstate Joe Prochaska, state game warden, as state representative of the American Automobile associa- tion, in place of George Purdy Bullard, against whom there is inference of favoring the big-race, big-purse idea, leaving little of the money to local contestants.
