Early Tuesday morning Mrs. George
B. Skidmore encountered a rattlesnake
with five rattles and button at her
front door. Mrs. Skidmore, mistaking
the snake for the morning paper, was

After much excitement and consid-
cradle trouble in getting an Iver-J ohm

three shots into the rattler and Mrs.

with a as Colts
Due to the fact that a rattler is
supposed to be blind in the month Of

they were preparing to exterminate

GOVERNMENT WILL ATTEMPT
CONTROL OF RODENTS THAT
PREY ON THE PINE TREES

Cooperation has just been arranged
between the u. S. biological survey
and the forest service whereby the
former will study the rodents of the
southwest which are causing damage
to the young pine trees both in the
forest nurseries and in the forest it.
self.
Considerable damage to the young
trees by porcupine, rats, mice and 9TH
er rodents has recently been reported
by G. A. Pearson, director of the Fort
Valley forest experiment station near
Flagstaff. Mr.. Pearson states that
on some areas the small trees have
been entirely destroyed, while larger
ones are being damaged.
Since it is difficult, where under
normal conditions, to grow new stands
of timber in the southwest, forest Of
ficers believe it important to control
the rodent pests which are destroying
the small trees. Accordingly the bio
logical survey was appealed to with
the result that one of their rodent ex-
perts will soon be on the ground tc
study the problem.
DIR. w. p. Taylor of the biological
survey, with headquarters at Tucson
will Immediately look into the rodent
pest situation in order to determine
the size and character of the studies
which it will be necessary to under.
take after DR.. Taylor's prelimonary
investigation. It is expected that act
i've measures will be undertaken BY
the two bureaus for the study and con.

FEW OVERCOME BY SMOKE AND
GAS AFTER TEN-HOUR BATTLE

Fire is raging on the 1900 level of
the junction shaft of the Calumet and

indication that it may get out of con-
troll unless high pressure water is ap-
piled within a short time.

laying pipes to the blaze and If it is
extinguished before the sulphiGe ore
becomes ignited, only. small loss will

After trip Of inspection in the
mine, General John C. Greenway, gen
eral manager of the company, an
nounced that the fire would be con-
fined to an area IL by "a feet and
would not extend above 40 feet above
the 1900 level.
Cement bull1heads have been put in
to battle off the air and pipe lines are
pouring in water from above.
The fire cannot spread out of the
small area, and the only danger is
from gases that might escape and
hinder work on the other levels.
Although some of the helmet crew
and number Of shift bosses had
been fighting the fire for 10 hours,
stopping only long enough to eat, only
few men were overcome with smoke

SUIT TO FORECLOSE ON
N. A. |. co. MORTGAGE

PHOENIX.-Suit to foreclose a
mortgage or deed of trust on the
Northern Arizona Land company COM
prising several thousand acres of land
in Apache county, was filed in federal
court here yesterday by the Pacific
Southwest Trust and Savings bank of
Los Angeles, formerly the Los An
geles Trust and Savings bank. The
action involves approximately $685.
O0C.
Failure of the land company to meet
its semi annual interest payments
when due last March is the basis of
the complaint, Il Ee petition sets forth.
The action was brought, the complaint
says, after payment of the $4,000 in
terest had been demanded and refus-
ed June IL, last.
The mortgage or trust deed
was given by the Apache county land
holders as surety on $450,000 first
mortgage bond issue, duly voted and
authorized by the directors and stock
holders in September, 1921, the COM
plant sets forth.
The land company met all interest
payments on the bonds until March OF
this year, when interest for the first
half of the year fell due. Formal de-
mand in writing for payment of the
interest was served upon officers OF
the company June II, last, and was
refused, the complaint alleges.
Thereupon, the petition continues,
bondholders representing $685., zoo
worth of the $4,000 issue directed
the Pacific Southwest Trust and Saw
ings bank of Los Angeles as their
trustee, to bring action to declare all
bonds due and payable. The bonds
themselves provide that they shall be-
come due and payable upon failure Of
the land company to meet the interest
payments, the petition claims.
In conclusion, the petitioner asks
the court to foreclose the mortgage
or deed of trust either by a receiver
or marshal Of the court.
The law firm of Gibson, Dunn ane
Crutcher Of Los Angeles, appears fol
the petitioner.
