CONTROLLER MYERS New York has
become a convert to the publ C owner

81, 800 900 year, but only Sl.500,0OO to

tabIy be that road could be bett-r
construct d, its service would bs moe
satisfactory, and Its profit would be
propartiooat ly greater than wou d be

terprse. 1t IL, of course, idle to expect
capi alists to eater the field therNis e
than selfishly az d aud with view ex-
cius vely to profits; the city, on the

1t seems that the Mexicans were
located In hou near Stone wall at

which they fired on the officers. Five

shots and the posse vas attacked by
men IN smbush on every side. One cf
the men who went to tie rear was xii ed
and two Of tins others four are seri-
ously wounded. Two hcrses were
shot.
A doctor was sent out this morning,
but the sheriff cannot send men INTO
New Mexico without requisitIou pa

distance OF the point Of trouble from

impossible at present to set the condi-

SCHOOL NOTES.
The NogaIes school starts on the 1St

The Nogales school starts on the 18th.
Tne Harshaw school started up Mon
day last, MIR. Lemon in iarge.
The R'llito school starts up next Mon
day with Miss Drake as teacher.
A meeting of the teachers of the Tue
son schools was held this afternoon to
arrange prelIminaries.
Mrs Walker, OF Calabasas, will teach
the school At that ace. Mis- Walker,
ner daughter, will teach at Palo Parade.
Mr.. Back will teach the Tubac school.
1t is probable that the Dew divislo- of
she district will also be taught by Mr..
b ack. at the expratIon of tne term at
Hubac.
The Red ngton school, it is tol6, has
but two trustees. They engaged a
teacher, who, when reporting for work,
was informed that one Of them had
changed his mind and would engage
someone else. A third trustee seems
the only way out of the matter.
San Xavier school starts Mondsy. with
Mrs. Burns and Miss Wood as teachers.
The San Xavier school is undoubtedly
the best equipped of any in the county.
and probably in tia territory. Almost
q thing that will tend to the advance
meut OF tne pupils has been withheld
To Trustee Berger this Is due. Hs takes
much interest in the school.
MISS Stevens, of Crit endeo, who took
the late examination and failed 10 pass,
will probably be gran ed tsm porary
certificate good till the next examlna-
tion, which she will take. This can be
done where an applicant can show q
previous record as a competent teacher.
Mrs. Began, Of Orc Blsnco. will probably
do likewise.
