A. dark of Montana, atl doubt of Montana's extensive participation in the Panama-California Exposition, to open here on January 1, has been removed. Senator Clark has donated $10,000 toward the building for his- State, stipulating that the State and counties of IMontana appropriate "enough to make a creditable exhibit that -we will not be ashamed of." That this stipulation will be met is assured "Senator Clark has cleared the way for us," explained David Hilger, chairman of the Montana State Commission. "I am sure the entire State will appreciate this -Splendid and most substantial aid he has tendered, and that the great resources of Montana will be prop erly presented to the visitors at San Diego. "Senator 'Clark's generosity is a striking example of the -way in which wealthy citizens through the West are contributing from their personal fortunes to make possible better exhibitions from their States at Sart Diego.

Oregon for example is raisine its entire exhibit bv tub lie subscription, and every State is supplementing its official 'appropriation with individual and county and city contributions. Senator Clark visited San Diego for first time last November and examined the plans for the Exposition Beautiful in detail. What he saw and what he learn, ed from Director-General H. O. Iavis impressed him so much that he readily came forward with a personal contribution.

The Senator's interest in his State's future and the desirability of letting the world know Montana's resources are fa. mous. The 'extensive mineral exhibit of Montana will be provided entirely by the Amalgamated Copper Com pany. The other mighty resources of the State will "be set forth in great miasure by the individual counties. The exact amount to be spent on the entire Montana display is not yet determined, but there is1 a determination on the part of the Commission, the State and the counties that Senator Clark will be shown thoroughly the other citizens of his State appreciate -His loyalty and service to Montana.

LAND PROJECT TO BE RUSHED TO COMPLETION (From Thursday's Daily.) While land cultivation and dam building are being vigorously pros ccutcd by the Arizona Land and Irrigation Company, the future of this great was relieved of any doubt yesterday by the arrival from Indiana of two of the princi pal factors, in Jacob Finkelstein of Terra Haute, and Enos Porter, of Shelbyville. Both stockholders are here to make an inspection of the progress of work, land to assume the management of the company's field affairs in the future Both authorized the statement to be made public that dam and land work would be maintained steadily until completed. There will be no further delays whatever, and the intention is to produce the first crop of alfalfa, this fall.

Finkelstein is one of the original stockholders, and incidentally one of the heaviest. He "has made frequent trips to his country, and the project. Tie stated yesterday, appealed to him more favorably today than at any time in, the past. He is a wealthy manufacturer, and Iras large interests throughout the country in varied pursuits. The arrival from Boise, Idaho, yesterday of H.

G. Wells, of Maney Brothers, added additional interest when its was learned that he conies to assume charge of his firm's contracts. Messrs. Finkelstein and Porter leave today for. Los Angeles; on company business, and are to return the fore part of next week, to remain indefinitely.

BITTEN BY SNAKE. (From Thursday's Daily.) W. J. Warren, contracting at the Martin mining camp on Board creek, was struck by a rattlesnake yesterday afternoon at a late hour and was brought to the city last night for medical attention. His condition is favorable, and no danger is anticipated, although he -was quite ill for sometime afterward and until he partook of stimulants.

When struck he was going to a spring nearby to fill a canteen with water and was moving along leisurely -without paying any attention to the ground. The reptile struck hur on the left leg belw the l.net. binking its fangs to a considerable 'depth. OLD MAN NEARLY KILLED IN AN ASSAULT (From Friday's Daily.) Suffering from concussion of the brain, with several ribs broken, one eye blinded and numerous painful body bruises, Pomas Condalia, 55 years old, a "Mexican sheep herder employed on the Burton ranch near Del Rio is to day hovering between life and death in the county hos pital while Richard Crispin and Phil Mendoza, two fellow herders, are lodged in the county jail awaiting the outcome of his injuries. For the second time within as many days, Sheriff Keeler was rush ed to the vicinity of Jerome Junction and Del Rio upon a hurry call arising from the use of fire arms and an assault.

On Tuesday night, the sheriff and two deputies brought in two men following a miniature insurrecto per formance there. Yesterday morn ing the two sheep herders were brought in. The first inkling of the near- tragedy near Del Rio was brought to this city late Wednesday night when E. Burton, the prominent sheep rancher brought in the aged victim of the assault in his machine, The county physician worked for over an hour upon the seriously injured man after which he was rushed to the county hospital and placed upon the operating table. Late yesterday, it was declared, that the man stood a good chance of recovery.

"No story is available from the old man while the two prisoners aver that the drawing of a gun provoked the assault. The old man they said was ugly and threatened both with bodily harm if they came near. One of the prisoners asked for a cigarette and he responded, it is alleged, by drawing a six- shooter and a line upon the one who made the request. His companion, believing that there was trouble in the air, crept up from the back and felled the old man with a rock. Then both jumped in with fists, feet and rocks and battered him into un consciousness.

Burton was tote of the assault and came to the man's rescue. FEDERAL COURT IN PRESCOTT IN JULY (From Thursday's Daily.) Work begins today in remodeling the second floor of the Elks build ing in this city, for the use of the Federal -Court, the contract being awarded yesterday, Brannen and Sauer, architects and builders, be ing the successful bidders. In a previous letting of the contraet their bid was the next lowest, hence they were given the opportunity to perform the work, and accepted. According to information semi-of- ficially given out, it is probable mat reaerai Lourt will convene in Prescott on July 1, instead of Aug ust 1, as heretofore given out, and a continuous session for 3 months will follow. The contractors stated yesterday the building will probably be ready by June 20, and not later than July 1, as required.

The entire second floor of the building, 62 by over 100 feet will be exclusively used by this department of the government It is to be sub-divided into a court room, two lobbies and five sets of offices. Furniture and fixtures are to be installed and the interior no doubt will be one of the most commodious and attractive in the State. Judge Sawtelle is reported to have expressed himself as very much pleased over the opportunity af forded of coming to this city during the midsummer to try scores of cases which duty is not agreeable in the southland on account of the extreme heat prevailing from June to October. This is the first time known in the history of Arizona where the climate of any particular locality has received a "boost" from official sources. STRANGE VISITOR COMES TO TOWN (From Thursdays Daily.) While making the rounds of his postal route Wingfield Wood, one of the carriers, ran onto a large dry land turtle in the alley back of Darlington's store on Cortez street.

The creature was moving along in its snail-like pace, and appeared to be in a dazed condition. The attention of several people was called to the novel incident, and where it came from proved a perplexing problem for any to an swer. It was picked up and laid under a green shrub, but later disappeared. Across its back was a width of over 12 inches, and it weighed about -20 pounds. It is the supposition that it had been under the warehouse of the Bashford-Burmister Com pany, destroyed by fire Sunday morning and it was seeking refuge in ome other habitation.

One per son who viewed it stated it did not belong to the terrapin family which frequents fteh water, but Its markings on the back would indicate it was of the desert breed. CLAIM DECISION SETS AT REST LONG DISPUTE (From Thursday's Daily.) An opinion of far-reaching im portance affecting Prescott city tax ation as well as that of Phoenix, was handed down by Attorney Gen eral George Purdy Bullard and by him transmitted to the State Tax Commission. The opinion sets forth definitely that under the provisions of the Phoenix charter, "The Commission ers of the city of Phoenix have the sole charge and control of the levy ing and collection of taxes for that municipality and that in so far as the general statute is concerned, which gives the State tax commis sion power to supervise the assessing, levying and collection of tax es in municipalities the same is sus pended and repealed as far as it 'af fects the city of Phoenix unless the city elects to accept the same." While the opinion deals directly with a situation arising in Phoe nix under the new commission form of government, officials at the local city hall contend that the same rul ing clears now and for all time the long standing differences between the State Tax Commission and the city government. Prescott boasts one of the most liberal charters in the State and un der its provisions, the city assessor has assessed property valua tions at seventy-five per cent of their value, an action contrary to the instructions of the State Tax Commission which requires an assessment at full valuation. The difference between the two bodies came to a head last year and the local government stuck fast to its guns.

Since then nothing has been heard from the State body btit the rendering of Bullard's opinion has been hailed with general satisfac tion in the Goodwin street bivouac of activities. CROWN KING HAS A FIGHTING JUDGE (From Thursday's Daily.) Telephone advices from Crown King to the County Attorney's office revealed quite an interesting situation that confronted Judge B. R. Marks in his efforts to enforce the law of the land. This official heard complaints against a certain Mexican, reputed to be a bad man, and forthwith a warrant of arrest was issued.

No deputy sheriff or other arresting ofiiccr being in the camp, Judge Marks called upon several citizens to enforce the order of the court. All were reluctant to get on the firing line, and as a last resort to keep the peace of the community, Judge Marks swore himself in as a special officer, and took to the tall timber, armed with a warrant in one hand and a big gun in the other. Later reports from the above camp were that Judge Marks was on a warm trail, and his disciple of Huerta was moving out of the country ai a very lively rate. The Mexican was incensed over the acute situation of his country men over the line, and had been brandishing his gun for two days threatening to exterminate the grin go. Judge Marks in his dual legal role, is backed by the revised stat utes, now in force.

He can arrest, try and sentence, all in the same breath PHOENIX SOCIAL FAVOR ITES ARE WED HERE (From Saturday's Daily.) Society in Phoenix was given the surprise of the season yesterday morning when it learned of the marriage of Miss Bunion Turner to Stephens Jennings, which took place in this city the day before. The entrapment of "Miss Turner and Mr. Jennings was announced two months ago and the date for the wedding was set Tor late in the summer. Not even their most intimate friends were taken into their confidence and were unaware ofj the fact that the charming young "'Hi aU suciai iuvorue ana well Known torney were leaving for the north Thursday. They were accompanied by the bride's uncle, Joseph Trib-blc and Robert Beardsley who were the only ones present at the cere mony which took place at the Episcopal church, Rev.

Sheriff Keeler and Deputies Bur-gett and Wilson brought to the county jail yesterday morning three of the principals involved in shooting up the town of Jerome Junction the night previous. All are Mexicans. These officers had 'but little trouble after their arrival on the scene in quelling the belligerents and placing them under -arrest.

One attempted to escape, however, but was captured at Del Rio: These Mexicans were armed with high-power Krak-Jorgensen rifles, of thirty calibre, and the weapons were new. About a dozen shots 'were fired and according to statements made by residents of the place it seems a miracle how several escap ed being hit. The Mexicans were 'toll section hands on the railroad. They were under the influence of liquor when their demonstrations were going on against the white people. The trio will be given a hearing today probably before Judge McLane, after specific charges are lodged against them.

PLENTY OF ROOM BUT SCARCITY OF PUPILS (From Wednesday's Daily;) With the building contract for the new Prescott high school awarded and a capacity of 250 students assured, the high school of ficers, school board and others in terested in educational work, will commence a campaign to procure an enrollment next year commen surate with the improved facilities to handle the larger number. This years high school enroll ment, numbered just 100 students. Despite this figure, the institution has simply been over-crowded all year. When the new $80,000 building arises at the intersection of Alarcon and Gurley streets some time during the next school year, half of the school will remain vacant providing, of course, the enrollment is not increased. It is interesting to note, however, that of the 100 students in the high school today, seventy-two are lower classmen a fact which leads to the conclusion that in the future the incoming freshtnen class will by far exceed the graduating figure of the seniors.

But the school people want the increase in attendance at once. The school authorities have in mind a plan of campaign which if successful, should add at least fifty more students to the enrollment There are numerous boys and girls in the outlying districts who would come into Prescott if a way was provided for them to earn their board or room, or both. It is suggested that a campaign be conducted wherein places should be found for these deserving students, STAMPS TO DROP ON NIGGER BEN ORES SOON (From Wednesday's Daily;) The Santa Maria Valley Mining which recently acquired the Nigger Ben holdings on the Santa Maria, of D. C. Thorne, is to inaugurate an active career in development and treating the ores on the dump.

Dr. Shaver comes from New York City, and will be the general manager of his company. He has made a thorough inspection of the group and in addition to treating the accumulation of many years, will inaugurate large development on certain claims that appear to be the most attractive.

trnutr Utiicbe Co- Adit i N.C183 GOOD COME FROM PUBLICITY (From 'Friday's Daily.) Publicity in Los Angeles and Eastern newspapers has resulted in daily receipt of many communications regarding Prescott Frontier Days, July 1914. Chairman Haworth of the program committee, has had scores of communications from contestants and in yesterday's mail, Roy Robbins, one of the best ropers and riders of the United States, signified his intention to be here during the celebration. "Skeeter Bill," as Robbins is widely known, wants to ship twelve head of bucking horses, well known for their intractable ways, from San Diego to Vancouver. These horses, among which are Beaver, Sun Dance, Tango and High Tower are well known by contest riders all over the West and have ap peared in contests at Los Angeles, Salinas, Bakersfield and at Stock ton Frontier Days within the last few weeks. They are in fine con dition for further wickedness.

"Skeeter" has also a relay string. Tex McLeod needs no heralding among riders everywhere. He won first money at nearly every show where he has contested during the last two years and a list of these shows is imposing. He was winner at Cheyenne, Calgary, Pendleton, and Elko, in 1912, and at the Stam pede, Los Angeles, Stampede, Win nipeg, and Frontier Days, Walla Walla, Washington, in 1913, and is known as the champion all-round cowboy of the world. When Secretary Fraser met Tex in Tulsa, last October, he was-1 not sure he would come to Prescott, but he -now writes from Cincinnati, stating that he will be glad to come as soon as he can make suitable arrangements.

In the great $1300 auto race twice around the Prescott outer loop, which probably will be pulled off July 6, many famous drivers are evincing interest and scores are inquiring for information. An inquiry comes from Stanwood Murphy, who is at present at Calla han, California. Doctor Redewill, who was ban quetted Monday night at the Yava pai Club by the Race committee of the Prescott Club, guarantees that at least eight entrants will come from Phoenix and the Salt River Vallty, aione. The entrance fee has been raised to $50 and the first prize from $700 to $1,000. It is probable that the second prize will be $300, although no definite action has been taken as to the amount tor second money.

Jack Van Ness, the champion cowboy contestant of California is making a trip from Los Angeles to Prescott with a caravan and trained bronco. He has a large Frontier Day sign on his wagon and the Frontier Day committees have printed 5000 hangers for distribution in towns along the route. He writes that he has already interviewed forty or fifty prominent people in Victorville, Barstow and other towns in California and hat considerable interest has been created. Van Ness is one of the contestants in the wild west sports items. $10,000 ISSUE OF ROAD BONDS IS SOLD (From Friday's Daily.) C.

It was a steady cattle market last -week, except on heavy fed steers, which lost 10 to lac Better fills offset the decline on those that sold lower, and increas ed net returns on such cattle as remained steady. Veal calves ad vanced 25 to 50 cents. The supply today is 8000 head, including 31 cars in the quarantine division, and the market is steady on the bulk of the offerings, a few steer sales 10 lower.

Light weight native steers sold at $9 today, bulk of the natives, $7.60 to $8.60. The Geb hardt Colorados brought $8.70 and the Riley Colorados $8.75, today same price in each instance as a week ago. The Karsch steers from the Longmont field, brought Warmed up Texas and Oklahoma steers brought $7.15 to $7.75, in the quarantine division today, some heifers $7.50, cows $6.25. Cows and heifers in the native division are unchanged, though on a more shaky basis, particularly middle grade heifers. Some of the Solt heifers, from Northern Kansas had an offer of $8.60 here last Tuesday, which could not be secured later in the day, so the heifers "were sent to St.

Louis, where they sold at $8.40. Stockers have been selling up to $8.50, feeders $8.10 with few cattle under $7i25. Stockers nd feeders are called steady today, but astute traders can see a break coming and predict 75 cents lower prices within ten days The fat cattle outlook lacks bloom, chiefly account of industrial inactivity, though supply figures are bullish. Commission ad vice to shippers is to unload heavy cattle, but to make yearlings good. Hogs regained lo to 20 cents last week, but another decline was in augurated late in the week, which is continued today, market 10 to 15 lower.

A long string of hogs sold at the top today, $8J2J, and everything sold within the narrow range of $8.15 to Packers are a resolute pack of bears, and display no animation after they have secured enough hogs to supply fresh meat trade. They claim the product is not moving, despite recent breaks, and it will require reduced retail prices to start it, if it is to move this month. Necessary summer and fall stocking up will move the stuff later, but in the meantime it is a burdensome load. Sheep and lambs advanced 50c last week, on light receipts. A good run of 18000 head arrived today, largely Texas stock.

Spring lambs and fed Colorados are steady today all selling together at $8.40 to $8.75 but Texas muttons are 10 to 15c lower though active, vethers at '45 to $5.75, ewes and wethers $5.10 to $5.35, yearlings $5.75 to $6.30, goats $3.50 to $4.25.

Postoffice That at least a four-year interval must pass before Prescott can hope to see its new postoffice. was the information advanced last night.

ECKERT IS FOUND GUILTY OF ASSAULT (From Saturday's Daily.) Found guilty upon -a charge of assault and battery, Fred Eckert, proprietor of a Cortez street saloon was yesterday fined $75 by Justice of the Peace 'Charles H. McLane. Testimony brought out during the course of the trial before a jury of six, indicated that Eckert had kicked in the face and broken the nose of Thomas IMcCauley, a miner who was helplessly drunk in his, (Eckert's) The alleged passage of a $175 fake check played an important part in the proceedings.

At least a dozen mining' "journeymen" were called to the stand to testify. All were eye-witnesses of the occurrence in Eckert's saloon last Tuesday afternoon. Mc- Cauley, it appears was sitting quiet ly asleep at a table in the saloon when the proprietor, possessed Of a goodly store of the invigorating liquids, brought into action his physical ability. McCauley was thrown to the floor and kicked in the face, testified several witnesses. Later, he was removed to a rear alley by a sympathizing fellow miner.

A deputy sheriff was called and McCauley removed to the county jail. Eckert denied much of the over whelming testimony supplied by the prosecution. The jury was out for a half hour before returning with the verdict of guilty. Leniency was recommended, Justice McLane was tencing the prisoner to but $75 as against a maximum, provided for in the statutes of $180 or 30 days or both. The fine has not been paid and there is a possibility that the decision may be appealed to the Superior -Court Eckert, according to the testimony, was enraged because he claimed a check for $175 which McCauley had asked him to change was false.

A. B. Sulzer, the proprietor of a pool-room adjoining Eckert's hostelry testified that when asked to change the check, he answered that he had never seen so much money in his life but that he would gladly take it to the Bank of Arizona to see if it was O. K. At the bank, he was told that no account was held there by T.

Robertson," the signer. Tom Watson, a mining man, testified that he had seen Eckert go through the unconscious man's pockets and that after J-arl concluded fruitless search, another man took up the work and final ly produced the check. Eckert claimed that he had advanced two dollars upon the check and want ed to make sure that it was O. K. The stories concerning the val idity ofUhe check, manner in which it was procured and disposition thereof were contradictory in the extreme and the jury paid practically no attention to this phase of the trial.

The testimony was however, that Eckert had kicked the drunken man in the face and broken his nose. AGONIZED MOTHER TRIES TO STOP OPERATION (From Saturday's Daily.) Expressions of authority from county officials was necessary to keep the agonized mother of six-year old Almeda Poland from breaking into the county hospital, taking charge of her child and incidentally breaking up a unique effort which is being made to save her right limb. The mother, ignorant of the work of physicians and influenced only by her parental love appeared at the county hospital Thursday and demanded the surrender of her child. The county physician was notified and Judge Frank O. Smith of the Superior Court interviewed.

The latter declared that under no circumstances should the mother be permitted to take the steps proposed. The parent is poor and unable personally to provide for medical attention for her little girl. A week ago little Almeda fell while mounting a cupboard in her home, a mile north of the brick plant The county physician was notified and the victim of Ihe fall, the femur in the thigh broken, was rushed to the hospital. There in an effort to save the limb, a unique method was devised. A rope was tied to the foot which was hoisted in the air until only the body lay prone upon the bed.

With the child's body representing a weight upon one end and a weight of bricks attached to the other end. the child was practical ly in a motionless position all the time.
