State Pioneer Home Now Full
The State is without accommodations to care for its aged and indigent pioneers. This was revealed when the board of directors was forced to turn back the application of Carl Berkenfelt, pioneer constable of Tucson, for admission to the State Pioneers' home at Prescott. Berkenfelt appeared with duly signed credentials from Judge Pattee, but the only satisfaction he gained was that all berths at the institution were filled and that he had better go home and wait until there was a vacancy.-Messenger
