Prisoner Escaped.

Dayton Graham, deputy sheriff and constable, was en route to Tombstone last Sunday with a negro prisoner who had been sentenced to fifty days in the county jail for carrying concealed weapons. When the train reached Naco Junction the prisoner entered the gentlemen's toilet room and then made his exit through the car window as the train was leaving the station. The train was stopped but the prisoner had made good his escape and no doubt was shortly in the land of man, yana. If the sentence will serve to keep the negro out of this country the ends of justice will be subserVed.

he would admit the charge and as

School Meeting.
TEN-MILL TAX AUTHORIZED
Reduction in Teachers Salaries Also
Approved, But Not Without Dis
Sent-A Pisherman'S Idea.

The taxpayers meeting. of school
district n. l, held at Shively school
house last night, passed of as calmly
as midsummer's dream. There was
even noticeable fragrance OF roses in
the atmosphere, arising from the flow
cry tributes lavishly thrust at the feet
Of the school board. There were a few
questions asked relative to the stats
tical report Of the clerk but these didn't
hurt anyone, and the adoption OF the
report was accentuated with much
gusto and unanimity.
The meeting was well attended and
when Chairman H. D. Thompson called
the assemblage TO order the large room
was well filed. The addition of a few
belated folk, who heralded their arri-
val in advance with squeaky shoes and
the stamping OF umbrella-stocks,
crowded the hall to the doors.
The outcome Of the deliberations was
an agreement to continue the high
school as a free institution and with a
view to this it was agreed that ten
mill levy be authorized. There was not
even a murmur OF dissent to this part
Of the program and the necessary mo-
ton went through with a whoop.
In explaining the estimates for the
running expenses Of the coming year
the chairman announced that a mater

ial reduction had been made in the
salaries Of The teachers, which would
cut down the general outlay consider
ably. An air Of satisfaction seemed to
prevade the asemblage and the next
item OF expense was being taken up
when a voice from the rear end OF the
hall commanded the attention OF the
presiding officer.
1t was H. Laurensen, who is secre-
tary OF the Fishermen's Union. who
spoke:
MIR. Chairman said he. Il would
like to ask you why the teachers sal
aries have been cut down. Were they
not receiving little enough before?
LOOK at the estimates Of salaries on
the blackboard They are Ridiculous!
How can We expect to get good. COM
petent teachers to serve for the amount
you intend to pay them? 1t is ridicu-
lods. For my part, say. let us make
even 5O-mill levy. if We must, and
pay the teachers what they deserve for
their work"
There was a general snicker when
Laurensen concluded, and then some
one in the back part Of the hall asked:
Il wonder how much taxes that fell
low pays?"
Eaurensen was on his feet in an In
stapt aud the reply sailed back:
Sir, I believe 1 pay as much taxes
in this district as you do and the in
cident closed.
Attorney c. w. Fulton then took oc-
casion to state that he was fully con-
virced that the salaries being paid the
teachers were entirely too low and
said that the board had been exper-
fencing much difficulty in retaining
competent teachers upon the terms
stated. The reduction had been made,
however, out of a sense of enforced
economy and the board would be oblig-
ed TO get along as best it could under
the circumstances.
Then someone thought the clerks
salary should be cut down from 5000
to $500 year, but this move was
soon quashed.
G. w. Fulton then moved that levy
of 10 mills on all taxable property be
authorized. This was carried without
dissent.
This was followed by motion that
the work Of the school board be ap-
proved. Someone suggested that the
motion was unnecessary as no one
had any fault to find. But the motion
was allowed to go through as a mat
ter Of form and motion to adjourn,
which had been edged in several times
before, was at last put and carried.
