Rudy and his family set tied in what is now known as Fergu- son valley and with only a few head of cattle, began building up his cattle business.

had occurred. We turned out three men besides myself and hitched up, with all our stock. We didn't care to leave anything behind for fear of the Indians. We drove to the spot where Fines partner was killed. The Indians had taken the dead mans clothes, leaving him stark naked. We wrapped him in blankets and buried him, then went to Prescott for re- endorsements. On our return, we found that the Indians had dug up the dead man and thrown the body in our well. We had to fill the well with earth and dig another.
 My life in Williamson valley in those days was work and fight No day or hour was safe. I had many a narrow escape, missing eternity by seconds. One day a bullet went thrugh right under my arm-pit, burn ing like fury. 1 turned to run, and an arrow pierced my neck. I have the scar to this day. The Indians followed me right to camp, where l fell exhausted. My men drove the Indians off, and extracted the arrow.
 Those were indeed thrilling days; I learned to love Williamson valley, with its fertile soil and picturesque surroundings, its delightful climate The townsitc being planned there means that one of my dreams is about to be fulfilled. With the com pletion of the Williamson valley dam, Lake Sullivan comes into being, the waters of which will irrigate my val ley. Productive farms will spring into existence. The city of Spring Valley will be known all over, and where once the Indians used the shelter of cedars to ambush and mur- der white men, the children will play their games, and the troublous times of '66 will fade from memory

JEROME POSTAL ROUTE BIDS ARE
 ALL REJECTED
Bondsmen Refuse to Underwrite Job for Arizona Bus Company at $7,200; Call for New Bids Up to Next April 4
From Sundays pailyl

Rejection of bids for hauling mail between Prescott and Jerome by automobile was announced at the postoffice yesterday following receipt of notice of this action from Wash ington. A bid of 5000 was quoted as having been among those rejected. This, however, was not the lowest bid, according to R. w. Byrns of the Arizona Bus company, who stated he had bid $7,20O for this job, under pressure from Jerome people who feared the discontinuance of the rapid service and return to the train schedules which involved delays of a day or more.
 The contract would call for two round trips daily or over 48,0O0 miles a year. At the 5000 figure, Byrns said, this would bring the mileage cost to about Is cents.
 Costs without overhead figured in were close to 25 cents a mile for stage cars, however.
 The rejection of the previous bids was accompanied by statement that new bids would be accepted up to April 4. Byrns declared that the .company-the only one in America writing bonds on star routes, had re- jected his application for a bond, presumably on account of the too low figure of the bid.

HE THAT SITTETH
 UPON 4 HOT STOVE
 SHALL SURELY RISE
fFrom Tuesdav,s nailun

Joe is out on bond. Joe is in the county hospital. Joe is in the sher- ifs office.
 This multiple Joe is three persons, to-wit: Joe Schmidt of Humboldt, charged with manufacturing liquor and released under bond of $1,000 by Justice A. K. Lee of the Humboldt precinct yesterday; Joe Zunick, also of Humboldt, who was brought to the county hospital Sunday suffering from burns on various portions of his anatomy, received during a brawl at Humboldt with Schmidt last We'd nesday; Joe Furst, undersheriff, who Saturday night was surprised to learn that anything so unfortunate had oc- cured.
 There is a house at Humboldt, and in this house last Wednesday fight occurred between Joe Schrrdt and Joe Zunick The latter of the two Jocs was seated on a red-hot stove His neck was showed against the red-hot stove-pipe Boiling water was poured down his back, according to the reports He nursed his wounds. Finally on Sunday he de cided that he was hurt, and was brought in to the county hospital.
 Later than Wednesday there was more commotion at Humboldt Ernest Childers, who has been depu- ty sheriff at Humboldt, and whose salary in that capacity the board of supervisors recently refused to pay arrested Joe Schmidt for manufac- turing alcoholic liquor. It will be recalled that Joe Schmidt, or as he is sometimes called, Joe Smith, was one of three men arrested last year in connection with the death of fourth man in drunken brawl in a house at Humboldt. He was released before the trial, and the other two men established their innocence be- fore the court of law and were dis missed. They were Ben Johnson and Elmer Bentley.
 When Schmidt was arrested gal lon of liquor was taken into custody with him, it is said, and the arresters also found a quantity of mash. No still was found, so far as is known. and 50 it remains a mystery as to how the gallon of liquor was made. Still
 Asked Saturday night by repre- sentative of the Journal-Mincr as to the details of the brawl and of Schnidts arrest, Undcrshcriff Joe Furst expressed surprise and com- plete ignorance of what had taken place. He did not know, he said. that his deputy had arrested Schmidt, but he said he would call Childers up and find out about it.
 There is said to be d split" of some sort ill the sheriff's office It was said yesterday that possibly that is one reason why Mir Furst was un- aware of the Humboldt fracas until asked about it by the Journal-Miner.

Francisco, there is but one copper refinery ill the United States, located, 1 believe, in New Jersey. This re- finery produces practically all of the refined copper ill the United States. 9
 The immense cost of installing such a plant prohibits the possibility of copper producers of the west refin- ing their own copper, MT. Joslin said. J. s. Douglas, president of the United Verde Extension at Jerome made an effort while in California recently, to bring about the establishment of "a refinery at Los Angeles, but no one was interested, because of the immense cost.
 Copper IS being put to many new uses, as a result of the producers campaign with its slogan, Buy something made of copper" The present moderate price, in Mir Jos lin's view, also has much to do with this. Where d short time ago d square" or 100 feet, of copper roof ing cost $75, uncolorcd copper now costs but $26 square, and colored copper $50.

FLIRTING WITH DEATH

Hundreds of those TO whom the
18th Amendment has meant only
higher prices and less above board
drinking will make a mysterious exit
from this world within the next 4
or years. They are slowly but
surely asphyxiating themselves, by
assimllating unsuspectingly the
poisons found in all Bonded
Liquor" supplied these days by
bootleggers, amateur distillers and
home brewers.
Hundreds OF samples of the So
called Pure Stuff is analized each
month and thus far each sample has
been found TO contain a high per-
centage of Fusel Oil in the Raw.
In cases of steady drinking the
Fusel Oil changes the blood from
oxyhemiglobin to methemiglo0in, re-
moving the oxygen from the blood
causing the lips and body to turn
blue. This may not be noticeable
for a while but is as Isure as death
to come to those who will indulge.
Fusel Oil is a product of fer
mentation. II consists of a COM
mentation of the higher alcohols of
which ANIL is the chief constituent
and the higher alcohols are more
poisonous than the lower.
Acetone which is derived from
wood, the source of wood alcohol,
is the principle peril TO say moth
ing Fusel oil, Furpural. esters, and
aldehzdes, which are always found
in green liquors.
Such are the deadly chances a
person will take despite the warn
ings of laboratories and friends.
The Illicit peddler of whiskey uses
ehtyllactate for flavoring purposes
and this is very dangerous if taken
in any quantity. II acts as a heart
depressure. The great damage is
that the Illicit manufacturer or
home brewer does not know the
proportions TO be used in making
his product. You are, therefore,
flirting with that Grim Monster
when you partake of their wares.
