20 CATTLE ARE
 SHUT FOR DEER
Amateur Hunters Said to Be Re
 sponsible for Highest Stupid ity Record in the Entire His
 tory of Yavapai Deer Shooting

Cattlemen Of the Walnut Creek country heaved a sigh of relief Tues day night. The deer season had come to an end. Their cattle were safe.
 This Is not a josh story. The re- lief of the Walnut Creek ranchers is real, and anything but funny. For according to reports reaching the local forest service office yesterday they lost 20 head of cattle in October from misdirected shots or cases oi mistaken identity on the part O! amateur hunters.
 Ranger Ed Oldham, who IS located on the Walnut Creek district, report cd to the office yesterday that he personally had counted the corpse. of five cows brought low by anna teur dead-shots.
 The exceptional slaughter of COWS instead of deer" reported to the for est office included statements of cat tlemcn of the district, who tolt Ranger Oldham they had lost at leas Is head more than he had counted.
 It is possible, in the opinion of Su- pervisor Wales, that some of these 20 victims were killed by bullet: from high-powered rifles which missed deer actually shot at and speC on to strike and slaughter the unseer steer. but that most of them were killed outright by hunters unable tc tell COW from a deer or a steer: horns from antlers.
 Local sportsmen are of the opinior that the killing of 20 cattle in on( district during one deer season con stitutes the highest record yet madC in this county by amateur deerslayers

PIONEER REPAYS 4
 DEBT OF IS YEARS
George Wager, Returned from South to Live at Pioneers Home, Re
 stores $1 Borrowed Years Ago

Among Arizona pioneers a favor is never forgotten nor an obligation al- lowed to lapse. As if in illustration of this truth, George Wager, an old time prospcctor of this county who will be remembered by many, has just re- turned a dollar he borrowed l6 years ago from the late Robert H. Hether- ington.
 The late Mir Hetherington, who until his death here year and half ago owned the Hetherington block which was recently acquired by Le- Roy Anderson from Mrs. Martha Hethcrington, often assisted prospec- tors and mining men who were tenn porarily down on their luck" Thus, when George Wager was in need, of a dollar, MT. Hctherington oblig- ingly loaned it to him.
 Later, Wager left the country. He had prospected in many fields in the county, and while managing to get along, had never got enough ahead to repay Mir Hetherington. After a number of years ill the south he re- gently returned to Arizona.
 One of his first acts ill reaching Prescott was to look up MT. Hcther- ington with the intention of repay ing the dollar he had borrowed l6 years before. He found that his bcnefactor had died, and that in place of the famous little assay of flee in the Hctherington block, was a grocery store that had been turned into republican county headquarters.
 Mir. Wager went down to sec Will liam ]. Martin, who conducts an as say office at 6l5 West Gurley street, and giving Mr. Martin a dollar, ask ed him to see that the coin reached Mrs. Hctherington and that his debt was discharged. Mir. Wager is now living at the Pioneers Home.

BROKEN FRAME PUT PRESCOTT'S DRIVER
 OUT OF ROAD-RlCE
Forgays Had Hard Luck in Cactus Derby; Main Bearing Burned
 Out and Frame Gave Way

1 Two strokes of bad luck in the way
 of mechanical trouble forced Percy Forgays of this city out of the 270-
 mile Douglas to Phoenix road race Monday. Driving a Hudson super six stripped for the gruelling desert run in the Cactus Derby" Forgays
 burned out main bearing near
 Wickenburg, on his way to the capi- tai city; and as if that were not enough hard luck, the frame of his car broke at Benson and laid him out. Forgays was one of 10 out of the g drivers who were forced out of the race before the finish.
 The Prescott driver had cut down the frame of his Hudson to shorten it for the desert trip. All went well for the major part of the race, ex- cept for the burned-out bearing, but when he had reached Benson, the welding of the cut-down frame gave way, and Forgays was out of the running. Upon his return yesterday he reported that even if he did lose out, he enjoyed the experience Strenuous driving was required in the desert classic, and in face of the handicaps he labored under, Forsays made d good drive.

EVERY GOLD FIELD REAPED SNEERS AT
 FIRST, SAYS SHEA

There never was a gold field yet that didn't produce a lot of sore heads right at the start, says George A. Shea, superintendent of the Pio- neer Home and one-time Alaskan miner and financier. He is reminded of the cruel jokes fate has played at the outset of every rich placer field on those skeptics who hold back and holler "Murderl" when someone else seeks to develop and enrich the country.
 Not even the valuable California fields, exploited in 1S49 escaped their share of jibing, he said
 Mir. Shea was at Dawson City-not Alaska, either-in 1899, when vague rumblings first began coming from Nome. There was a little settlement at Nome in those days, but no ink 1 ling of the riches to come. Out of the Dawson camp about 400 miners, including MT. Shea, set out aboard a river boat Aboard this craft was Colonel Ray, in charge of U. S. troops in that section. The colonel got up on a barrel and addressed the miners, saying he would prevent them crowding into Nome if he had the authority; there was no gold there; the whole proposition was a transportation stunt. But the miners went on to Nome, where some of their friends had earlier in the year, offered $40 an ounce for every ounce of gold that could be produced on Anvil creek. And gold, at that time, was selling for SIG an ounce. Two of these enissaries, one being Red" Mcconnell, had returned to Dawson and said Nome was a fake. They told it to 2,OOO miners gathered around big dry goods. box on what corresponded to the public plaza.
 Shea and his companions in ad- venture went to Nome. On Anvil creek, with very limited facilities, miners were taking out $50,0OO worth of gold day.
 The now head of the Pioneer Home was interested one day by soldier, who anticipating his discharge in few days, was practicing pan ming on the beach at Nome This soldier asked some of the miners what that was ill the pan, and in Inocently started one of the funniest gold rushes ever known. His pan contained a dollars worth of gold. Nobody had ever heard of gold in the sands of the beach, so it was as- stunned that this color had dropped from some miners poke as he got in Ito or out of small boat on the beach.
 But Shea and hiS partner ilVeSti- gated further. The Prescott man got the good hunch and went and bought up all the quicksilver and amalgam plates ill Nome. He dug a four-foot hole to the claybank on the sea beach near the mouth of the river and his shovel turned in the bottom of this hole, more gold than sand. In less than 30 days, he and his partner di vided $38,O0O they had taken out of that hole Since then, according to Mir Shea, the sea beach has been worked profitably for 60 miles around Nome.
