He recently returned from Springer
vile, where he went several weeks
ago to camp out and try to regain
his failing strength.
The colonel came to Arizona in
1863, and for years was a scout. He
was in Prescott when the town was
formed, and has lived in various sec
tions of the state. He put in the

years edited a paper at st. Johns.
He worked on newspapers throughout
his mature manhood, in Phoenix and
Tucson, and twenty-five years ago
he founded the Douglas Dispatch.
As a scout he used to ride from
Yuma, where the boat landed, to
Fort Apache, with dispatches for the
government, going through the coun-
try infested with hostile Apaches in
safety. He was recognized as
friend of the Indians, and they loved
and trusted him. He was probate
judge of Apache county, district at
torney, and was member of the ter
ritorial Legislature. He was assist

STATE CATTLEMEN MEET
IN PRESCOTT IN JULY

Taking the place Of the former sum
mer conventions of the Arizona Cattle
Growers association that have, fo1
several years past, been held during
the early part of July, the board of
directors of the state association of
cattlemen will hold its special summer
meeting in Prescott on Monday, June
80.
The policy followed by the associa-
tion for the past year has been ohave
its board of directors meet during the
spring, summer and fall quarters, and
again just prior to the annual conven-
tion of cattlemen held during the win
ter season. The last meeting was held
in the association offices in Phoenix
the latter part of March, at the adj
joumment of which the board decided
to meet again at or about the time of
the annual frontier celebration in
Prescott.
The cowboy celebration coming dur
ing the first four days of July is caus-
ing a somewhat earlier date for the
board meeting than was first antici-
pated. But, with the gathering to-
gether in Prescott of stockmen from
many parts of the state, President
Boise of the Cattle Growers associa-
tion has issued a call for the direc-
tors meeting to be held in that city on
June 80, the day prior to the celebra-
tion opening. The meeting will be
open to any and all cattlenen who are
in Prescott and they are urged to sit
in and deliberate with the board.

CANYON CLUB FORMED
in NEW YORK CITY

! Further plans of the Canyon club,
formed April last at the Explorers
club in New York City, to bring to-
| gether the people that have visited the
I national parks and monuments of
southern Utah and northern Arizona
are given in an announcement made
by the interior department which is
officially interested in all movements
looking toward the development of re-
icreational opportunities in the nation
al parks and monuments.
The purposes of the Canyon club
are to preserve for the use and bene-
fit of the American people the scenic
attractions of southern Utah and
northern Arizona; to make these seen
ic attractions available to the people
by encouraging the development of an
adequate system of highways and
trails; to make these scenic attractions
and the economic resources known to
all the people; to preserve the institu-
tons of the people now living there
so that the good Of the old may be
combined with the good of the new;
and to collect and preserve the oral
tradition, the written history and rec
ords, the geological studies, the geo
graphic descriptions, the maps and the
photographs of southern Utah and
northern Arizona.
Membership of the Canyon club is
of two classes-resident and non-resi-
dent. Any person living in this sec
tion who has visited Zion National
park, the recently established Bryce
Canyon National park, Cedar Breaks,
or the north rim of the Grand Canyon
National park is eligible to resident
membership, and any other person
who has been to any of these scenic !
attractions is eligible to nonresident |
membership. The officers of the club,
who serve without salary, are compos-
ed of resident and nonresident
president, one resident vice president
from Iron, Washington, Garfield and
Kane counties, Utah, and from that |
part of Coconino county north of the /
Colorado river known as the ARIZONA
Strip" and one nonresident vice
president in each state of the United
States. The club also has resident
and nonresident secretary and treas
urer and an advisory council composed
of five resident members, one from
each district, and five nonresident
members.
The canyons of southern Utah are
the most vivid and richest exhibits
of coloring of the materials of the
earth and may be visited by automo-
bile from Utah points in connection
with the trip to the north rim of the
Grand Canyon National park.

EXTlNGUISH BIG FOREST FIRE
NEAR w. NJ. CADY SAWMILLS

Early in the week there were a
number of small forest fires, started
by Tightening, on the Apache reserva-
ton. Most of these, however, were
very small, not covering more than
about five acres. There was one just
north of McNary which was famed
by the wind and attained great head
way. By Tuesday it had burned over
about twelve hundred acres and was
still burning, although it was under
control. According to a report from
McNary, the sawmills of the w. M.
Cady Lumber Company was closed
down and about a thousand men were
sent to help check the flames, which
threatened to destroy Camp No. 12
about 81a miles east of there. With
this large force, the fire was soon
under control, and activities were re-
sumed at McNary. This is one of
the largest fires ever reported on the
Apache Reservation, and the lumber
men were very fortunate in success
fully checking it.-Holbrook Tribune.

NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST GATHERED STATE OF
WARD HUNG; REFUSED
TO MAKE CONFESSION


Inbred hatred of the white race,
deeper and stronger than the rei-
gious fervor born in death cell and
nurtured by the certainty of his APP
preaching execution, sealed William
Wards lips and caused him to drop
through the changing gallows with
the secret of Ada Boudreau's murder
locked in his heart. Such is the
belief of Chief Deputy Sheriff H. C.
Parsons and Detective G. L. Strathy,
expressed after their return from
Florence yesterday.
Parsons and Strathy, to greater
extent than any other officers, con-
centrated their Investigations con-
cerning Ward on an effort to wiring
from him confession of the Monroe
school murder mystery. Convinced
that Ward was present when the
Indiana healthseeker fell or was
pushed from the roof of the school
building and dropped 40 feet to her
death, these officers, after his arrest,
spent many weary weeks in private
outside Investigations and confer
ences with the negro in an effort, to
secure confession
The fact that Ward, as a child of
seven years, witnessed the burning
of colored, man at the stake and
heard his cries, that he was arrested
time and again for crimes of various
degree and served several peniterl-
tiary terms, where he became "con-
wise, unwilling to admit anything
to an officer-thwarted the hopes of
the officers in the present instance
and explained the negro's silence,
they claim, in the face of the strong
est chain of circumstantial evidence
ever forged in local annals.
"Ward hated white man." Par
sons said yesterday, with venom
stronger than his professed love of
the Bible. His last few days on earth
showed that he was genuinely in
earnest in his new-found faith and
was reluctant to die with lie on his
lips.
He consequently evaded the ques-
tion entirely. Never, in our last
conversations, did he admit or deny
the Boudreau Staying, but waived
aside each inquiry with the assertion
i won't talk The nearest statement
lie iuduS 10 ClG Ifuun, dS we see IL,
was when he declared, in response to
our third and last effort Thursday
night:
"The Boudreau matter is past |
and gOne.It's over with, as far
as am concerned, and won't |
tell you anything about it,
"This declaration, coming as it did |
after Wards avowal of |
his readiness to meet his God |
to a virtual confession and |
removes any lingering doubt that the
man who dangled from the rope a
few hours later for the murder of Ted |
Grosh was also guilty of the school |
house crime"
An example of the peculiar psy-
chology which Ward applied in his
resistance to official inquiry into
Mrs. Boudreau's death also was made
Thursday night. During one of Mr..
Parsons last conversations with
Ward he stressed the debt which
Ward owed to his own race.
Don't you realize" the officer
asked, "the disgrace to the colored
citizens of Arizona which will follow
your execution with a lie on your
Ups ?"
Every tub must stand on its own
bottom" was the negro's only re-
sponse.

BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE
FOR PETRIFIED FOREST

DR.. A. r. Crook, Chief of the State
Museum of Springfield, ILL.,, and who
is member of the Committee of the
American Museum Association, is to
visit Halbnook and the Petrified
Forest in the near future. Mr..
Crooks object is to study the forest
with the assistance of the custodian
in order to correctly plan the contem-
plated new museum. Under such ex-
pert guidance it is evident that the
new museum will be one of extra
ordinary beauty. A properly planned
building, housing a great collection of
rainbow-hued specimens and other
relics, as well as lecture hall and
library, will naturally be the greatest
attraction in this part of Arizona

d. B. HEARD. REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
MEETS VOTERS IN ST. JOHNS

Hon. Dwight b. Heard, one of Ari-
zona's most distinguished citizens, and
who is seeking the nomination for
governor on the republican ticket,
made a brief stop in st. Johns Tues
day afternoon. Although his coming
had not been announced publicly, a
large number of business men and cit
izens met him in Columbia theatre
where he talked for an hour on the
Colorado river compact and gave such
an illuminating and convincing discus
sion as had not before been heard by
his audience, which included many of
our prominent democrats. There
could be no doubt that he was sincere
and had the subject in hand complete
.ly from the standpoint of a business
man who has at heart the states in
terest, not a chronic politician.
Many questions were asked him at
the close of the meeting and he am
sweped them promptly and so con-
vincingly as to remove all doubt
about the feasibility of his plans. If
chosen for governor he will doubtless
be able to put his plans through, and
certainly Arizona can't go wrong by
putting in the governors office man
of such keen business ability and ma
tion-wide influence.
Mr.. Heard had just returned from
Cleveland where he attended the re-
publican national convention. He paid
a glowing tribute to President Cool
idge and predicted his reelection to
the presidency.
While in st. Johns Mr.. Heard was
a guest of Attorney Dodd L. Greer

RARE ANIMAL SPECIES is
KILLED NEAR BLUE RIVER

Officials of the United States bio
logical survey have received a report
of the killing of a coate, a rare ami
NAL in this latitude, by Jimmy Cosper,
a stockman operating on the Blue
river. The animal is the second of
its species that has been killed in the
United States insofar as records show,
according to the officials.
The coate is frequently found in
Mexico and is closely related TO the
racoon family although it has some
of the characteristics Of the South
American ant eater. Local officials
say that an effort will be made to
mount this specimen for exhibition

ARIZONA SAGEBRUSH
OFFERS NEW INDUSTRY

The Chamber of Commerce may es-

quiry has been received whether deliv-

pound bales. The secretary replied
that the stuff could be furnished in
20-ton bales, if desired.
Oddly, it happens that the true sage
brush is little known in southern Ari-
zona, the local product being an im-
itation of the artemesia. True sage
brush abounding in potash, grows in
northern Arizona, extending over from
Utah and Nevada.

Paris Emile Daesehner, director
of administrative affairs at the Quai
d'Orsay, who is considered in French
official circles and among the Chan
cellories of Paris as the best trained
diplomat in the French service, will
most probably succeed Jules Jusser-
and as French ambassador at Wash
ington within few weeks.
The news IS not yet official and no
appointment has been made M.
Daeschner himself said today 1t would
be good news to him if it proved to
be true but that his only information
about his reported appointment was
CLEANED from today's papers.
It was semi-officially confirmed at
the foreign office, however, that M.
Daeschner had been chosen to succeed
the veteran incumbent at Washington.
The announcement of this decision, it
has been added. has been premature
because Of the agreement Of the AM
erican and other government to the
various diplomatic appointments in
view had not yet all been received but
it was expected there would he no
objections. a
M, Daeschner, who come from fine
Alsatian family was for a long time
the right hand man in London to the
late Paul Cambon, who was called the
"NestOr" of French diplomacy.
M. Daeschner was a collaboration as
confidential adviser and chief of bureau
of the late Maurice Rouvicr and of
Raymond Poincare when they were
premiers, and Of Leon Burgeois, tho
outstanding French apostle of peace.
