 KNIFE AT SELIGMAN

It is not satc to monkey with the cook. This bit of wisdom was given horrible proof Monday when Angel Sarabia, a handsome young Mexican camp rustler fer the Garrett Sheep company near Seligman, disembowcl- ed a sheepherder in the course of all alleged argument over food.
 Sarabia was detained in Seligman Monday and Sheriff Warren C. Dav- is brought him to Prescott yester- day and lodged him in the county jail.
 According to Sarabia's story, Val entin Cortcz, the herder, was a cran- ky and disagrecablc man. Cortez came to camp and began grumbling about the dinner. Sarabia was busy with his work. Cortez caught up a club and struck the cook over the head and shoulders, and followed it by working him over Sarabia said he managed to set hold of large butcher knife near the campfire and swung it at his assailant. The blade ripped. Cortcz's abdomen open and virtually cmptied him. He lived about three hours.
 The two men worked for the Gar ret sheep company, whose camp IS located about IA miles from Sclig man. Claude Stephens is manager of the outfit.

CLEANS UP WARDROBE OF
 TONY CHAVEZ

Tony Chavez has a story of being robbed of practically all his valuables. He lives at 127 s. Mccormick street. At 2:3O a. m. last night, some one crept into his room, and was mak- ing away with his clothes even. He fired three shots from his revolver, and the thief dropped the clothes he was carrying and for that reason Tony has clothes oil. But, Mir. Thief made away with a diamond ring, bearing the initials of "a girl' F. L., and it this ring that Tony grieves mostly about. But, his opera glasses valued at $35 and his kodak, and fountain pen would also come ill handy. A five dollar bill and $4 in good old American silver would also rattle pretty back in his jeans.
 When asked if he was not afraid that he would be shot by the thief, he said that he had been through the little unpleasantness in Germany and had smoked a gallon or two of gas, and was not afraid. He was attached to the l43 field artillery. Tony will give $50 reward for the return of the ''F. L." diamond ring.
 The thief is evidently not scared either, as he returned later in the day and took away a pair of pet canaries which had been overlooked.

future development is railroad to .idewater (applause). l doubt If many here realize that f30 miles of railroad connecting with existing lines, would accomplish this The substantial benefits that would arise rom the construction of such a road are apparent. It would afford an out let for the cotton, copper bullion, all he products of the state that are ihipped east, through the canal.
 The third question to be consid ,red is power. Arizona has develop 9d no oil and practically no coal One of the big difficulties in the ,tate, felt by all manufacturing con cerns and farmers, is the high cost Of power The future of the state depends largely on pumping water from the Sub-soil for irrigation. Tn most cases water can be obtained al 100 feet on land below 2000 feet in altitude. I predict that all such land will become ultimately very valua- Dle. There is only one great river n the state. the Colorado, but rhis affords source for hydro-electric power that is within reach"
 The fourth problem of future de- velopment, Colonel Greenway said, is better roads. The accomplishment of this must be left to some sensible, non partisan plan.
