Salcido secured gun and started in pursuit, overtaking Sotelo in East Tempe. Just as he placed the revolver to Sotelo's head Officer Bolton rode up and disarmed him and placed both men under ar rest. On the way to jail Sotelo was assaulted by Juan Azedo, the East Tempe blacksmith, who was also placed under arrest.

 William Welton is now the possess or of a mummy, little dried up thing that he can carry around in his pocket without any trouble He found the mummy in the back yard of a house near the park. He was not surprised at finding it for he was digging around the yard for it. According to Vel tons story the mummy was first found in New Mexico about seventeen years ago by Dr. Martin, formerly sheriff of Yavapai county, who couple of years afterwards gave it to a family in this city. The mummy was kept in the family until two years ago, when through some superstitious fear they buried it in the yard. Welton recent ly learned the story and obtained the permission of the people who buried it to exhume it. The mummy is evil dently that of an Indian baby and could not have been over a few days old at the time of it's death. It only weighs six ounces and the skin is brown and like parchment. One arm Is drawn up under the chin and the other rests in natural position by the side. A growth of hair of a few inches in length and of light brown color covers the rear of the head. The fingers and toes are perfect. The mummy has the high cheek bones and low forehead of the Indian tribes. Welton says he will send the mummy to some ethnological institute.

What a Young Lady Thought of the New
 Testament.
 It was once the good fortune of a Harper's Bazar writer to read, in the island of Fayal, $ letter just written by a young lady of Portuguese-English birth who had been reading the New Testament for the first time. It was worth while to see such a letter, for many persons must have felt, first or last, with Thoreau, that it would be a delightful thing for anyone to encoun- ter those wonderful narratives as a fresh discovery, in maturer years, apart from all the too familiar associa- tions Of Sunday school and sermon Such, as any rate, was this young lady's experience, and her statement of the result was at least little astonish- ing She wrote, ,n her haif-foreign English, to an American friend in these words. ''Dld you ever happen to read book called the New Testament? If not, I advise you to do so. l have just been reading it one of these days, and I find it very moral and nice book"

Miss Fair is an expert swimmer, but tried fancy diving feat and was knocked insensi- ble by striking her head on the raft from which she was leaping. Now at the park swimming baths such acci- dents are impossible, while the swim ming is just as good as at Newport. Everybody here should learn to swim with the inducements offered at the park baths.

During the rast year, on lvo or six suc-

In August and located the mine after she
had seen the place In another dream. She
Immediately began proceedings to get con-

of the richest mines in the worlds great-
