GLENDALE BOY CAPTURES. %
RATTLERS; KILLS "a MORE

Now comes Roy Mcdonald, a 20
year-old boy from Glendale, to am
swer Deputy Sheriff Carl's challenge.
Roy had been working in the Frog
tank district on the dam that is being
put in on the Aqua Fria river by the
Beardsly Land Development company.
II will not lay, claim to any cham
pionship, but will say that if eight
rattlers is the best a deputy can do,
he had better not lay claim to cham
pionship either.
Il have captured % rattlers alive
and sold and delivered 20 to the ARR
zona Reptile garden. The other two
died. / have taken in eight at one
time alive, besides killing 81 in the
last two months, total of Sc. These
were one side winder, two prairie and
SO diamond backs. They had from
five to 16 ratties, but averaged eight
to ten Each rattle does not indicate
one year, for they put on one every
time they shed, and they shed from
one to three times a year, or every
time they get good and full of rabbit,
rat or other live animal meat.
"If the deputy wishes few pointers
send him out to the Frog tank dam,
and if he wishes to become champion,
l believe would make good trainer
for him"

GLOBE CLOTHING MERCHANT
SENT TO THE u. s. PRISON

Tucson.-Morris Cohen, Globe cloth
ing merchant, was given a sentence of
18 months in Leavenworth peniten-
tiary and fine of $500 by Judge W.
H. Sawtelle Tuesday when he pleaded
guilty to concealing assets in his
bankruptcy proceedings. The count on
which he pleaded guilty accused him
of turning over $4,000 in currency to
William Isber, another Globe mer-
chant, to keep for him. After that
transaction, he went into bankruptcy.
Isber, who was indicted jointly with
Cohen, testified Cohen had given him
the money and that he kept it in his
safe for a month before depositing it
in the bank. After Isber's testimony,
Cohen pleaded guilty, and was sem
fenced. The charge against Isber was
dismissed.
Three other counts had been re-
turned against Cohen charging that
he had concealed $500 of real estate
by bogus mortgage and that he had
hidden approximately $500 of mer-
chandise before he started the bank
ruptcy proceedings under which he
would have settled at rs cents on the
dollar. The other counts were dis
missed after he had pleaded guilty to
the first count.

WASHOUTS TIE UP THE
PEAVINE FOR DAYS

With the exception of one passenger
train run south from Ashfork Satur-
day night and scheduled to return to
Ashfork Sunday morning with mail
and passengers, Prescott remained
practically isolated from the rest of
the world following continued rains
which swept northern and central Ari-
zona during the past few days.
Damage of the rains was crystal
lized Saturday night with the wash
ing out of five bridges between Pres
colt and Phoenix, and the softening
of the Ashfork- Prescott roadbed to a
degree which led rail officials to cut
the traffic to a minimum
Mail deadlocked Saturday night
when the tie-up on both sides of Pres
colt began to drift into town Satur-
day night, but all mail that normally
would arrive in Prescott from the
south was being rezrouted via Bars
tow and down to Prescott from the
north. Southbound mail was only
temporarily delayed.

$40, ,OeO PRICE Is AGREED ON :,
FOR STREET CAR LINE

The city of Phoenix has chance to
buy a $115,000 street car system for
$4,000. The twenty thousand dollars
is the bargain figure which the ap-
.praisers of the city and the company
have agreed upon as the second hand
value Of the company's property.
The announcement Of the purchase
price came at today 'sesession of the
city commission
Attorney L. H. Chalmers, repre-
senting the company submitted an APP
praisal of $115,560.44
City Manager Hitchcock, appraiser
for the city submitted an appraisal of
$1S,711,43.
A compromise figure of $4,000 was
agreed upon.
"We have it on the highest possible
authority" said Mayor Whitney this
morning, that a representative of the
company called on the corporation
commission and informed the commits
sioners personally that under no cir
cumstances would the company at
tempt to operate after October 20, the

was found impracticable as the meat
could not be cared for in transit.
Third, by allowing hunters under SUI
pervision and proper regulations to
kill three each during a 60-day open
season in the fall.
Supervisor Miller is firmly of the
belief that allowing hunters to thin
out the bucks is preferable to letting
it be done by predatory animals and
that many Arizona hunters are going
to be very much disappointed if an
open season is not declared. "A great
majority of all applications for special
permits have come from Arizonans,
instead of from outsiders" said Mr.!
Miller. Ny only interest in the mat
ter is to rid the range Of surplus bucks
and to my certain knowledge there is
no demand being made by cattlemen
to have them Killed off, in fact there
are so few cattle in that section and
those mainly grazed out on public
land, that there can be no reason for
cattle owners to be interested one way
or the other from a range point of
view," declared Mr.. Miller.

Parker settlement away back in 1885,
captive whose story rivals that of
the famous Frances Slocum, the Lost
Sister Of Wyoming" Of Revolutionary
days.
She was restored to her people, but
lived only four years. When she died
she was still grieving for her little
half-breed son, Quanah, who had es-
capped when Ross's rangers swept down
upon Peta Nocona's camp. Ross later
became a general in the Confederate
army and a governor of Texas. That
little half-breed boy succeeded his
father as war chief of the Comanches,
led them and their allies in the fa-
nous attack on the buffalo hunters at
Adobe Walls, and was the last to sur
render to the United States troops In
the war with the southern tribes in
187475. Later he was Quanah Parker,
the friend of the white man, ROose-
velt's hunting companion on a wolf
hunt in Oklahoma, and until his death
in 1911, one Of the most famous Of the
living Indian chiefs.
Even more famous than "Su" Ross
was a ranger captain of a later day
Bill Mcdonald, man Of the same type
as big Foot" Wallace. 1t was once
said that Captain Bill Mcdonald
would charge hell with a bucket OF
water" and more than once he proved
that this statement was not so far
fetched after all. Mcdonald fought bad
white men instead of bad red men, and
the reclamation of a vast territory in
Texas and Oklahoma and the opening
of this land to settlement is due large
ly to him. Single-handed he undertook
task which federal, state and terri
torial officers of the law declared i'm
possible and, facing death a hundred
times at the hands Of men whose only
motto was "Shoot Bill Mcdonald on
sight," he accomplished 1t. He re-
deemed No Mans Land in Indian ter
ritory, tanned the Texas Panhandle
and reformed the notorious Cherokee
strip.
Captain Bill died in 1918. Although
he was the last of the picturesque old
time rangers, the breed of these first
class fightin' men" has not died out.
1t survives in such men as Capt. John
r. Hughes and Capt. J. J. Saunders
and many another who have ridden the
wide stretches of the Lone Star state,
and patrolled the Rio Grande In recent
years. The job of the modern Texas
Ranger has been far different from
that Of his predecessors. He has bat
tied Mexican bandits, smugglers, rus
tiers, highway robbers, murderers and
desperadoes of every kind Modern
conditions have changed his methods
Of operation somewhat, but the Texas
Ranger himself is pretty much the
same man as he ever was with the
same cool courage, the same pure grit
and the same 1OO-per-cent-efficien
in handling any job he tackles

the rangers into any county. The
story Of the Texas Rangers Is that
of a body of men with tradition.
So strong has been the tradition Of ab-
solute efficiency that has grown up
around this splendid fighting force,
that one Texas Ranger is looked upon
as more capable Of handling tickl1sh
situation than any twenty ordinary
men.
They tell the story of the mayor Of
Texas town who found a riot on
his hands and who kept the wires to
company of rangers. Then he ar
ranged for half dozen conveyances
to meet the train and rush the officers
to the scene of the trouble. From the
last car descended q single ranger, cas-
ually rolling cigarette.
"Tm done for!" groaned His Honor
81 asked for a whole company and
they've sent me just one ranger"
"Well," drawled that nonchalant per-
son, There's only one riot, isn't
there?
The full history Of the Texas Ran
gers would fill volumes. 1t would in
clude the stories of such Old-time he
roes as James and Resin Bowie (of
Bowie knife fame), Jack Hays, Kit
Ackland, Tom Green, Mustang Gray
and big Foot" Wallace. Wallace re-
ceived his nickname from his feud
with Big Foot, celebrated Comanche
Indian chief, whom he had sworn to
kill He trailed the Indian many
times, but never succeeded in keeping
his vow. The honor of ending Big
FoOt's raids went to another ranger
captain, Shapeley B. Ross, who killed
the Indian in an epic hand-to-hand
combat.
dauntless person-this Wallace
One day while out alone he rode to the
top of a hill and ran slam-bang into
a band Of sixty Indians. His horse
was wornout and he knew that flight
was useless. The red men spotted him
Immediately and raised the war cry.
Wallace dug his spurs into his horse
and charged the Indians. Waving his
arm as though signalling to a force
behind the hill, he shouted "Come on,
boys, we've got 'em now" And the
Indians broke and fed
Another renowned ranger leader was
Lawrence Sullivan Ross-"Sup Ross,
they called him. He was a son of
Shapeley B. Ross and worthy son of
his sire. While student at an east
ern university he was accustomed to
spend his summer vacations at home
fighting Indians. When he was grad
uated in 1860 and came home, he
found that the COmanches were on
the warpath again. So he obtained
permission from Gov. Sam Houston to
raise a company Of rangers, and took
the trail of a band of raiders led by
Chief Peta NOcOna (''The Wanderer")
the greatest war leader Of the Co.
manches since the death Of Big Foot.
And thereby hangs one Of the most
romantic tales connected with the
rangers.
For, when Ross and his company
of sixty men, had surprised Peta No
cona's camp and put the savages to
flight-ROss himself killing the chief In
a hand-tO-hand encounter reminiscent
of his fathers duel with Big Foot
