Over 1000 scholars reported at the diff
erent buildings Monday morning. There
is no record OF the attendance for the first
day last year, but from the crowded con-
dition of some of the grades, Professor
Kirk is inclined to think that last years
record has been reached if not passed.

ceived from E. L. RowelI, the attorney
who is missing and whose accounts with
his clients are in bad condition. 1t is
now definitely known I'll at he was in FL
Paso a week or ten days ago, but he has
eft there. and his present whereabouts
cannot be learned. Judge Brunson, his
partner. returned from Los Angeles last
night and Strengthened out some matters
in reference to the firm S affairs that have
been mi sstated. The mining claims

county and Randall of this county met in
the court house this morning to decide
about surveying the boundary line be-
tween the two counties. The supervisors
desire to avoid paying county surveyors
the SO per day allowed by law, and no
action was taken. Two suits involving
the title to the Desert Queen mine have

Haney in locating the mines at the time
of the discovery OF the Diamond Queen,
and has since worked on the mine devel-
oping it, and therefore retains half inter-
est.

the Sunsat Telephone company, was be-
fore Justice Knox this murning and his
