 Two pistol shots in rapid succession broke the stiffness early yesterday morning and also rustled a Republican representative from his bed, who imagined a possible murder. After spending a half hour in running down the cause of the shots it was learned that festive roysterer of the block had fired the shots at the moon. Peo- pie should be more considerate and not get a person out of bed when sleep is so precious.

 Louis D. Nelson and Kitty Arm strong are uct white people, as their names might imply, they are Pima In- dians who received a liberal education at the Indian school near Phoenix. The young couple were lovers and sighed to become one, but the girls father, who is not an educated Indian, drowned and would not countenance the match. The lovers, however, re- belled and were married according to the Pima custom, which is very short ceremony-the man takes the woman for his bride and the woman the man for her husband. This constitutes the marriage service and the couple take themselves off to their tepee. Both the young Indians are highly educated and live at Blackwater.

 Ramon Ortega was bound over by Justice Johnstone yesterday to await the action of the grand jury. His bonds were placed at $750, but that sum could be secured as easily as a million by the prisoner, so he was sent to jail. Some three weeks ago Ortega enticed 16-year-old girl to leave her mother and accompany him. Ortega secured a couple of saddle horses and the young girl left her mothers home in the night time and accompanied Ortega. The first night was spent on the desert north of Peoria. The couple travelled fast and by a circuitous route, fearing pursuit. They finally stopped in the Santa Maria district, where the two posed as husband and wife The girls mother complained to the authorities and Sheriff Orme took the trail and located the couple. Ortega is said to have wife and three children.
 One of the most eommendable feat ures inaugurated by Dr. Hughes, the new uperintendent of the insane asy- lum, is the observance of the Sabbath day by holding religious services. A representative of The Republican at tended the services last Sunday and was much impressed with the close att tention paid by the inmates to the re- marks of the minister. Sunday a ser vice of ten minutes duration was given in Spanish and ten minutes in English, so that both the English and Spanish speaking inmates could get the benefit of what was said. The patients are orderly and several joined in singing the hymns. If it was not for the bolts and bars it would be hard to call the asylum a prison. The pa tients appear to be happy and pass the time pleasantly according to the fan cies of their diseased minds. They are we'll fed and clothed and what is more, receive the best possible treatment. The keepers and attendants are hu- mane and no restraint or harsh treat ment is found necessary in the hand ling of rnruly patients. Every Friday
