The Womans' Christian Tempe

A free reading room is good thin

almost every person can get something
to read there If they are not able t
buy books and papers, they likely hav
neighbors who will lend to them Fo
the men and boys, however, who lik
to loaf on the streets and in saloons
'that is the sort of thing they like
and that is what they'll do. A read

them unless saloon, billiard room o.
card room is connected with it.
The drill of the Mcconnell well
on the Miller farm reached the thirC
sand last Thursday, when the volume
of gas became strong enough to raise
large pebbles to the floor of the derrick
About twelve feet of good third sand
was found in the we'll but it is report

ing the fourth sand This well, we
understand, is located on the old 22a
degree line, which is over 100 rods
west of line passing through the Sim
cox & Myers well. The failure of this
well puts another damper on the 221
degree line theory, and as to the cross
belt theory, although the Bald Ridge
and Herman Station oils are said to be
identical, the third sand of the Bald
Ridge territory is over one hundred
feet higher than that of the Herman
Station wells, whereas the sand in all
cross belts heretofore developed has
always dipped toward the southwest.
In noting the position of the third sand
rock the measurements are taken from
the line rock strata. 1t seems to be
left to the drill alone, to tell in which
direction the belt or pool extends
The town of Galeyville Arizona,
near the New Mexico line, was COM
pletely destroyed by Indians last We'd
nesday afternoon and thirty white
people were killed. Nearly one hun
dred pioneers of that section have,
within the last few days been murdered
by the Apaches The outbreak was
not entirely unexpected. Last Sep
tember number of Indian scouts fired
on Gen. Wilcox's command at Fort
Apache They were surrendered by
the Indians on the promise of fair
trial. Three were tried and sentenced
to be hanged. and meanwhile nothing
was done in the cases nf the others,
who were chafing under confinement
The Indians could not understand the
delay 1t looked to them like treach
cry, and they got the idea into their
heads that it was the intention to kill
all the prisoners, few at time. In
dian Agent Tiffany telegraphed to
Washington begging that the execution
of the three should be postponed until
the Others should either have been
tried or released, and predicting trouble
should this not be done; but the
sentence was carried out on March 3.
The Indians now declare that they in
tend to kill all the people they can in
revenge for the hanging of the three
Indians.
The suits. of the Building and
Loan Association of this town vs.,
Jno. F. Lowry and David Cups, on
the list for last week did not come to
trial, the propositions of the defend
ants for settlement having been ac-
cepted by the Association just before
the time fixed for the trial. The de-
PENDANTS in the two cases are to pay
up all back dues with six per cent
interest added, and all record costs,
and then continue as members OF the
association until the end of it, which
we hope is in the near future. We
understand that some members who
have put in applications for the with
drawal of their stock, now want to
withdraw their withdrawals This
should not be allowed, and if money
again stagnates in the treasury of the
Association, the pro rata clause Of the
act of 1879 should be incorporated in
the bylaws of the Association. A
twc-thirds vote of the Association
can do this at any time, and either
this or something else, if necessary.
If any of the members of the associa.
tion are looking forward to grand
game of grab at its close, they had
better disabuse their minds of the idea
as soon as possible. If they will
read the preamble to one of the Build
ing and Loan acts they will see that
the Legislature did not intend that 8
b. & L. ASSOCIATION should be a species
of grab-bag.
