MEN FIGHT
An Old Feud Caused by Disputes Over
Grazing Lands Promises to Be Re
newed With Fatal Results.
PitEscoTT, Ariz., March 9. Parties
who arrived in Prescott yetterday from
the Tonto Basin country state that an
other war is threatened there similar to
that of 1887 and 1888, when forty people
were killed in what wa9 knewn us the
Tewk?bnry-Graham feud. While not to
exceed half a dozen men of those en
gaged in the above ore alive today, the
new men seem willing to fight on the
same old lines.
The trouble is between the cattlemen
and sheepmen. Large herds of sheep
from northern Arizona are driven south
for the winter, returning to their north
ern grazing grounds again in the spring,
and one of the favorite routes is via
Tonto Basin, which is usually well
watered and abounds in good grass. The
drought of the past year has caused a
shortage of both, and cattlemen served
notice on tho sheepmen that on account
of the conditions, they would not be
permitted to return North by this route
this spring. The latter sent back word
that they were going through Tonto
Basin if they had to fight their way. The
advance guard of the returning flockB
were met by the cittlemen and turned
back and scattered. Several cases of
arms and ammunition are known to
have been shipped into the section re
cently, and open threats have also been
made by the interested parties to shoot
each other on eight.
No Klght to Ugliness.
The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attractive
must keep her health. If she is weak,
sickly and all run down, she will be
nervous and irritable. If she has con
stipation or kidney trouble, her impure
blood will cause pimplee, blotchep, skin
eruptions and a wretched complexion.
Electric Bitters is the best medicine in
the world to regulate stomach, liver and
kidneys and to purify the blood. It
gives strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth,
velvety skin, rich complexion. It win
make a good-looking, charming woman
of a run-down invalid. Only 50 cents
at Blakeley & Houghton's drugstore.
Ill Life Was 9avrtl.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen cf
Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful
deliverance from a frightful death. In
telling of it he says: "I was taken with
Typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia.
My lungs became hardened. I was eo
weak I could'nt even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to soon
die of consumption, when I heard of
Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle
gavo great relief. I continued to use it,
aod now am well and strong. I can't
say too much in its praise." This
marvelous medicine is the surest and
quickest cure in the world for all throat
and lung trouble. Regular sizes 50 cents
and $1.00. Trial bottles free at Blakeley
& Houghton's drugstore; every bottle
